Chapter 392 Is this a thief?
"Madam, we can't stay here for long. We can't delay any longer. Let's quickly escape from this dangerous place!" Bai Han's tone revealed obvious urgency.
Su Qing was already running out of breath and could hardly speak complete sentences. She just nodded slightly to show her agreement.
Afterwards, they continued to run forward as fast as they could without hesitation, until they were completely far away from the village, and then they stopped to rest.
"Who are these mysterious people in black? Why would they attack us at all costs?" Su Qing frowned tightly, as if she was in deep thought.
"It seems that this matter is quite complicated and full of mysteries. We must remain highly vigilant and find out the situation before taking the next step." Ming Lan analyzed calmly.
"That's true. Maybe the Zhuangzi behind is also facing risks." Gui Mo echoed.
After careful consideration and discussion, they finally decided to adjust their original itinerary. They chose to avoid other villages and quietly move towards nearby towns so as to conduct a secret investigation without attracting attention.
In the town, they first found an inn to stay in. Su Qing asked Ru Hu and Ru Yi to find out something.
Ru Hu and Ru Yi found out some news: it was said that a mysterious force had been active in this area recently, specifically targeting major manors for plunder and killing, so they hurried back to inform Su Qing.
"Could it be that all these manors have fallen into their hands?" Su Qing's heart suddenly tightened.
Seeing Su Qing's serious expression, Wu Yanran was afraid that she might encounter some misfortune, so she quickly spoke to comfort her: "Madam, in my opinion, we should go back first. After the Marquis returns, it would be more appropriate for you to come with the Marquis to deal with this matter, wouldn't it?"
"Yes, ma'am, if you suffer any harm during this period, it would be a loss." Ruxue followed suit, trying to persuade Su Qing to change her mind.
However, Su Qing was not easily shaken. She frowned and responded softly, "You are right. Returning to the Marquis' Mansion is certainly feasible. However, these manors are all the properties bestowed by the Emperor to the Marquis' Mansion. Now they have been wantonly destroyed. If we don't deal with them properly, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Emperor."
After saying that, Su Qing fell into deep thought again, as if thinking about a countermeasure. What kind of mysterious force is so bold that it can kill people openly in broad daylight? Moreover, this place is so close to Shangjing City, the news will definitely reach the ears of the emperor.
Would the emperor turn a deaf ear to this? It seemed unlikely! Then how should the emperor deal with this matter? Could it be that this difficult task fell on Jiang Weiyang's shoulders? And he actually brought these people here to die in vain? ?
In order to uncover this mystery, Su Qing was determined to investigate further and ordered her subordinates to look for clues everywhere and not to miss any clues.
God helps those who work hard. After some hard work, they finally found some clues of this mysterious force...
Su Qing told everyone about the plan and prepared to follow them to investigate, but was opposed by everyone.
"Madam, we are not afraid because we are all skilled, but you are weak as hell! It is better not to take the risk." Rumei advised.
"Okay, in that case, let's go back!" Su Qing originally wanted to help Jiang Weiyang, but everyone was right, if she went, she would only make things worse. Listen to advice, definitely listen to advice, as the saying goes, listening to advice is enough to eat. I don't want to die so early.
So they returned the same way they came.
It was already evening when they entered the city. Su Qing thought about how frightened everyone had been these past two days, so she took everyone to Zuixianlou.
Su Qing stepped into Zuixianlou and sat down slowly. The scene of killing Su Wanyu here involuntarily emerged in her mind. Now, everything has become a thing of the past. The beauty is gone, leaving only a sigh and endless regret in her heart. After all, for Su Wanyu, living is the greatest torture!
Seeing Su Qing lost in thought, everyone was curious about what she was thinking about, but they did not dare to disturb her easily.
At this time, Ru Hu looked at Wu Yanran, and after their eyes met, Wu Yanran nodded in understanding. "Madam, do you still miss the roast chicken? Do you want another serving?"
Su Qing was brought back to reality by Wu Yanran's call, and responded with a smile: "Okay, you can order whatever you like, don't be restrained. I will pay for the meal today. This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it!"
Hearing Su Qing's generous words, everyone responded and began to order dishes one after another. The shopkeeper respectfully invited Su Qing to dine in the private room upstairs so that she could enjoy the food more comfortably.
Su Qing thought it was a good idea, so that she wouldn't always think of Su Wanyu when sitting downstairs. So she led everyone to the private room upstairs.
Everyone ordered their favorite dishes, and Su Qing asked them to sit down and eat with her. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Su Qing asked Ming Lan and others to set off tomorrow to protect the Marquis. She would not be going anywhere for the time being.
She asked the shopkeeper to bring the best wine, and they drank together. She hadn't felt so relaxed in a long time and was so happy. Although she was frightened by what happened during the day, she now forgot about what happened during the day.
Su Qing drank too much and didn't remember how she got back to the mansion. She only knew that she was very happy and did what she wanted.
On the second day, Su Qing was awakened by a headache. She quickly went to the space to take some hangover medicine and a pill for headache.
I was so thirsty that I hurried out of the room to drink some hot water. But I was shocked to see that there was no place to step in the room. Everything was in a mess.
There were all kinds of jewelry, clothes, and money on the floor. There were also ornaments in the house everywhere. What was going on? How come I had no idea what was going on? Was there a thief? Was there too much stuff to move? So he didn't take that much?
Thinking about it, it seems impossible. This is the Marquis's Mansion, and there are so many secret guards? Even if they are drunk, there are still many servants in the Marquis's Mansion! It is unlikely that they were robbed like this, right?
"Shui Lian? Ling Er? Yan Ran?" Su Qing called for a long time but no one answered her. Her first reaction was "It's over. Were they all robbed and taken away?"
Su Qing quickly picked up a few pieces of clothes from the ground, put them on one by one, buttoned the last button, turned and walked towards the door, still muttering, "Drinking makes things worse, drinking makes things worse! Don't drink like this in the future! You didn't even know you were robbed, isn't that a joke?"
