Chapter 153 Who did you say was arrested?
"I wonder what the two gentlemen are going to do by gathering so many officers and soldiers?"
"Suppress the bandits."
Xiao Mingli said coldly,
"The situation is urgent, please don't delay, Mr. Meng."
Xiao Mingli raised his hand to signal everyone, and when he was about to set off, Meng Jingchen stood in front of Xiao Mingli.
"I have also heard about the rampant bandits in Yuxi County when I was in Kyoto. I passed by Yuxi County today and since I encountered them, I naturally want to lend a hand."
Meng Jingchen clapped his hands, and suddenly many men in dark clothes rushed in from the gate of the county government office. All of their clothes were embroidered with the Meng family's crest.
"This is the servant I brought with me. I believe he can help you two gentlemen."
Meng Jingchen didn't give Xiao Mingli any chance to refuse. The servants of the Meng mansion consciously stood beside the officials and soldiers of the Yuxi County government.
Xiao Mingxu came up to Xiao Mingli and said,
"Do all the servants of the Meng family look so fierce?"
Xiao Mingxu thought of the servants in his house who were always fooled by him, and sighed silently in his heart. Sometimes the gap between people is really big.
The servants of the Meng family look really extraordinary; the servants of the Xiao family look really ordinary.
"Since Master Meng is so insistent, I, Xiao, would like to thank him on behalf of Mingrui."
Meng Jingchen: Who? Who was arrested?
Somehow, Meng Jingchen suddenly laughed out loud.
"You said you were suppressing the bandits because of Xiao Mingrui? Wait, are you saying that Xiao Mingrui was captured by the bandits? I mean, he is waiting for you to rescue him?"
Xiao Mingli didn't know why Meng Jingchen was laughing, and there was a flash of displeasure in his eyes.
"Mr. Meng, let's set off quickly."
"Okay, okay, let's go."
Meng Jingchen tried hard to hold back his laughter. He thought Xiao Mingrui was a hidden master, but he didn't expect that he would be caught by bandits in an instant. It seemed that Xiao Mingrui was just so-so. He had overestimated him.
Meng Jingchen was secretly happy, thinking that he could mock Xiao Mingrui the next time they met.
On the other side, in a remote courtyard somewhere in Wushi Village, Jiang Tunan looked at Hua Bei who was serious in front of him with some disbelief.
"You mean, let me pretend to be Grunna's lost sister?"
There was a round stone table in the courtyard. Hua Bei was sitting on the stone bench opposite Jiang Tunan. Xiao Mingrui and Su Xiaoxiao were sitting on both sides of Jiang Tunan. Guo'er was standing respectfully behind Su Xiaoxiao.
Although Jiang Tunan wanted to pretend to be that girl Xue'er before, Gu Lang obviously didn't believe it. If that was the case, how could he continue pretending?
Jiang Tunan glanced at Su Xiaoxiao beside him. He thought that Hua Bei might as well look for Su Xiaoxiao instead of himself. At least Su Xiaoxiao still had the aura of the heroine. Maybe Gu Lang would believe it.
Hua Bei's tone was somewhat impatient.
"Just do it, why are you asking so many questions?"
Jiang Tunan looked miserable.
"No, big brother. Look at my performance just now. I'm sure I'll be exposed if I pretend any longer. I know you want to resolve the knot in the heart of the ancient village owner, but are you sure you don't want to cause trouble by asking me to go?"
Xiao Mingrui added silently,
"No need to pretend any longer. Anyone with a brain can see that you are acting."
Su Xiaoxiao: ? Mr. Xiao, why are you cursing?
Hua Bei, who almost believed it, said: Now the way of insulting people is so advanced.
"I will write you the information about Miss Xue'er tonight, and you just need to act accordingly."
Hua Bei stood up and left, but before leaving, he stopped and turned around and said,
"You'd better act seriously, otherwise I won't let you go easily."
Jiang Tunan:?
"Do you threaten me?"
Jiang Tunan looked at Xiao Mingrui who was standing beside him and said incredulously,
"Cousin, he threatened me?"
Hua Bei leaned against the door with his arms crossed, looking at Jiang Tunan with a disdainful expression on his face. Jiang Tunan sneered.
"Dare to mess with me? You're done for. I will secretly tell my cousin bad things about you behind your back, and you will be safe and sound!"
Jiang Tunan covered his mouth and laughed.
"Hahaha~ If you mess with me, it's like you're kicking cotton~"
Hua Bei was speechless for a while, and then left the courtyard. After Hua Bei left, the sound of the courtyard door being locked came from outside. Jiang Tunan said with great sorrow,
"This is too much! We are allowed to live here, why lock it? Where is the basic trust between people? It really makes me feel cold!"
Seeing Jiang Tunan's expression, Su Xiaoxiao began to persuade him.
"Miss Jiang, don't be angry. Mr. Hua must have his reasons for doing this."
Jiang Tunan turned his head to Su Xiaoxiao and replied seriously,
"Well, Su Xiaoxiao, listen to me. When you return to Kyoto, go back and have a good meal first, then go out and take a carriage to the west of the city. After you exit the city gate, turn right and you will see a Zen temple. Donate some incense money first and go straight in. There is a big Buddha there. Let him go and you sit there."
At first, Su Xiaoxiao was counting on her fingers to remember Jiang Tunan's route, but in the end she found out that Jiang Tunan was just teasing her. She was so anxious that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Su Xiaoxiao, I think you are really amazing."
When Jiang Tunan said this, Su Xiaoxiao was suddenly stunned. Was Jiang Tunan praising herself?
"Ms. Jiang, thank you..."
"Thank you, I haven't finished yet."
Jiang Tunan showed a tired expression.
"What I mean is, with your ability to cry anywhere, it would be a pity not to send you to the dry land. If you are put in the dry land, why worry about the crops dying? When you can't cry anymore, find someone to scold you, so that you can cry again. I'm done, you can thank me now."
Guoer couldn't help but burst out laughing. After she finished laughing, she realized that she was laughing at her own daughter. Su Xiaoxiao heard Guoer's laughter and glared at her in dissatisfaction.
"Humph!"
Su Xiaoxiao stood up, stamped her feet, and went back to her room.
Jiang Tunan felt relieved when he saw Su Xiaoxiao's back.
"You've really grown up. You didn't leave crying this time."
Xiao Mingrui looked at Jiang Tunan's silly look and chuckled.
"Where do these stupid words come from?"
Jiang Tunan: "Don't mind the affairs of beautiful women."
Jiang Tunan was about to leave, but when he passed by Xiao Mingrui, Xiao Mingrui grabbed his arm.
"and many more."
Xiao Mingrui pushed Jiang Tunan back onto the stone bench.
"Cousin, shouldn't you explain how you knew about Gulang's sister?"
Jiang Tunan sat down obediently. She knew that Xiao Mingrui would definitely ask her about this matter, so she took out the words she had thought of before.
"Brother Mingrui, I actually learned about Gu Lang's sister after reading his secret writings, but I only took a quick look, so I only know a few general things."
Since Gulang has already revealed the matter of the secret book, there is no need to use this excuse. Anyway, Gulang himself doesn't know who stole the secret book, and the person who stole the secret book will not take the initiative to admit it, which makes it convenient for him to fish in troubled waters.
"Did you steal Gulang's secret manuscript?"
Jiang Tunan laughed.
"Brother Mingrui really thinks highly of me. I don't have that ability. I saw the secret book at Dayin's place before, and I thought it was not something important, so I just glanced at it."
Jiang Tunan: It’s always right to put the blame on the big yin person.
"Why did the big Yin steal Gu Lang's secret writings?"
Xiao Mingrui was a little confused. Jiang Tunan just felt tired. Xiao Mingrui was simply a walking question of a hundred thousand whys. She made up a lie and would cover it up with countless lies.
"Cousin, they are all big yin people, it's not strange even if they eat shit."
Xiao Mingrui pondered for a while, then slowly uttered two words:
"Too."
