After she became a county magistrate, she took the ghost to investigate the case

Chapter 168 Take action again

They grinned and tried to attack Xu Yingying. Xu Yingying was horrified and shouted angrily, "Stop it!"

But the beggar was not willing to listen to Xu Yingying and wanted to continue attacking Xu Yingying without being moved.

Xu Yingying had no strength to get out now. She could only look at the sky in despair, wondering if she was really going to die here. She could clearly see the look in the beggars' eyes, which were full of lust.

Xu Yingying closed her eyes resigned to her fate, but after a long time, she did not feel any movement from the beggars. She only heard a few muffled groans, and then there was no movement.

Xu Yingying suddenly opened her eyes and looked over. The beggars were lying unconscious on the ground, and next to them was Li Siqi who had left long ago.

Seeing this, Xu Yingying finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Li Siqi." Xu Yingying called out weakly.

Hearing the sound, Li Siqi hurriedly left the beggars, walked quickly to Xu Yingying, and carefully helped her up. "Are you okay?" Li Siqi asked.

Xu Yingying nodded. "I'm fine. Rao Qingji didn't do anything to me. He just had someone throw me out. Please help me untie the rope first. It's very uncomfortable."

Li Siqi finally reacted and quickly untied Xu Yingying. This time he returned empty-handed again. Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yingying simply did not stay here any longer and returned to the County Lord's Mansion again.

In Xu Yingying's room, she took a shower and changed her clothes as quickly as possible. In order to pretend to be a refugee, her clothes were already dirty. Later, she was targeted by beggars, which made her feel even more disgusted. She did not stop until she exuded fragrance all over her body.

After she got dressed and walked out, Li Siqi had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Xu Yingying return to her previous appearance, his eyes softened a little.

"What should we do now? Rao Qingji is not someone who can be easily fooled. You have witnessed what happened today. Do we have to start with him?" Li Siqi was a little worried.

Xu Yingying's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. "No, we can't get around Rao Qingji. He has a high reputation among the refugees, so we can't think of not letting him know about this. So persuading Rao Qingji is our best choice."

"But Rao Qingji simply won't listen, and he can probably guess our identities. How can he trust us?" Li Siqi was very puzzled and didn't understand why Xu Yingying was so obsessed with Rao Qingji.

"Firstly, Rao Qingji has the highest prestige. If we can seek his help, these refugees will be much easier to manage. You have seen today that they are very respectful to Rao Qingji. It can be seen that the current refugee area has been able to survive until now mostly because of Rao Qingji."

“Besides, if we don’t contact Rao Qingji, if he is trying to trip us up from behind, we won’t know about it and won’t be able to do anything to him. So, we still have to start with him.” Xu Yingying explained patiently to Li Siqi.

After hearing this, Li Siqi said nothing more. What Xu Yingying said made a lot of sense and he had no way to refute it.

"Then what should we do next? Sneak into the refugee area again?" Li Siqi asked.

Xu Yingying shook her head. "No, I've already thought about it. The first step is to gain Rao Qingji's trust."

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Li Siqi chose to believe Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying smiled mysteriously, "There really is something I need your help with. This matter requires you and Huang Shaohua to work together."

"Huang Shaohua is the magistrate of Jun County, and this place is not too far from the refugee area. If we can design a plan to make Rao Qingji fall into our danger, and then I come forward to rescue him, I believe he will trust me more." Xu Yingying laid out her plan.

"Okay, then I will go to Huang Shaohua to discuss this matter. But how do you know when Rao Qingji will leave the refugee area?" Li Siqi asked puzzledly.

Xu Yingying was confident, "Rao Qingji attaches great importance to those refugees, so he will start with them. If the refugees fall into the hands of the soldiers, Rao Qingji will definitely come to rescue the refugees. At that time..."

After Xu Yingying finished speaking, Li Siqi was completely convinced. There was almost no blind spot in this matter. As long as he cooperated properly, Rao Qingji would definitely take the bait.

Without hesitation, Li Siqi acted as he said and kidnapped a refugee as quickly as possible. He also told Rao Qingji to take action himself, otherwise the refugee would surely die.

Xu Yingying hid on the path that Rao Qingji had to pass. Not long after, she saw Rao Qingji rushing over alone. However, not long after he passed Xu Yingying, he was surrounded by Li Siqi, Huang Shaohua and their men.

In order to avoid being recognized, Li Siqi disguised himself, and Rao Qingji did not recognize him.

"What exactly do you want?" Rao Qingji stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at Li Siqi and Huang Shaohua, his fists creaking from his clenched fists.

"Rao Qingji, you never thought that you would end up like this. Did you think we wouldn't be able to find you if you hid among those refugees?" Huang Shaohua and Li Siqi looked at each other and took a step forward.

I have to say that Huang Shaohua's acting skills are wonderful. Xu Yingying, who was watching from the side, felt that Huang Shaohua deserved a beating.

Sure enough, Rao Qingji clenched his fists even tighter, "Let him go first, and I will go with you. Don't hurt him, otherwise, I will never let you go!" Rao Qingji pointed at the refugee who was held hostage by Huang Shaohua's men.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what Rao Qingji said, the refugee's eyes widened, "Brother Rao, hurry up and leave. Don't worry about me. There are so many brothers over there. Don't go with them!"

But just as he finished speaking, he was grabbed by the neck by the person holding him hostage. Huang Shaohua glanced over here and smiled, "How about it, Rao Qingji, what have you thought about it?"

Rao Qingji's fist suddenly loosened, "Let him go, I'll go with you!"

"Okay, I like people like you who are sensible, let him go." Huang Shaohua waved his hand, signaling to let the refugee go.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he let go of his hand, he rushed to Rao Qingji and tried to pull him away.

Rao Qingji's expression fluctuated for a moment, but he still shook off the man's hand and said, "You go first, don't worry about me." Then he pushed him out.

The man wanted to rush back, but was stopped by the guards surrounding him. He struggled for a moment, but still ran back.

Huang Shaohua saw this scene and snorted coldly, "Look, this is the person you tried so hard to protect, but now he has abandoned you..."
