The Third Old Master was furious: "What does that Crown Princess mean? We have already told her about our family affairs. She has nothing to do with it, but she still interferes like this! Does she really think our family is easy to bully?"
Old Master Wu didn't care much. Seeing that he was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You too, even if we move the person away, how can it affect our family? Now let alone being unable to escape in the city, even if they really have some ideas, with such a big storm, where can they go? When the wind passes, we can go and ask her for the person."
A woman of noble status, but with limited people around her, could she really cause a big fuss with Wujiabao? Wujiabao had tens of thousands of people after all, and even if the Crown Princess was not clear-headed, the people around her would not be stupid.
But the Third Old Master didn't seem to understand this. He said anxiously, "How can that be possible?! What if she hides the person and leaves by herself?!"
Seeing the Third Old Master getting more and more excited, Old Master Wu looked at him strangely: "Why are you so excited? Although those girls are a disaster, the Crown Princess is a trouble. If she leaves, we can't hide more than 200 living people in our pockets. As long as those girls are fine, what does it have to do with us whether the Crown Princess leaves or not? Isn't it better if she leaves?"
The Third Old Master was about to say that, but luckily his brain suddenly came to his senses and he woke up. He coughed and frowned to cover up, "Isn't it that I'm just afraid that she will take the person away? After all, we have already said this, and everyone knows that we must follow the rules in Wujiabao? If something unexpected happens, how can the family save face?"
Old Master Wu didn't think much about it: "You are so good at jumping around. In fact, the ones who were kidnapped in recent years were ordinary girls. They were not from our family and could not cause any trouble. But you insisted on killing them all. Otherwise, you would not have attracted the Crown Prince's Consort."
Seeing what Mr. Wu said, the third old master reacted very quickly and immediately took the opportunity to interrupt: "Hey, big brother, you can't think like that! You know the situation in our city, right? On the surface, everyone relies on our family and listens to us, but in recent years, our words have become less and less effective. Let's not talk about anything else, just look at the salt that is dried. Do you think those people are honest? If we don't take this opportunity to correct the rules, the people below will really treat us like clay Buddhas. This is also for the consideration of the people in the clan. Am I doing this for myself? Do I have to commit a sin and kill so many people?"
He spoke with great conviction, and the Third Old Master had no way to refute him. He sighed, leaned back on the couch and rested for a long time before saying, "Okay, I know what you said makes sense, but these days, I've seen many people come to ask for mercy, and I always feel that they are pitiful."
The third old master smacked his lips in disdain: "Why should I feel sorry for them? Do they think it's honorable to wear this green hat? They really don't have a clear mind!"
They are just some insignificant ants. What is there to feel sorry for
After getting the news from Old Man Wu, the Third Old Master rushed out and went back to tell Zhao Er what happened.
Zhao Er frowned immediately. He had just come back from the Flower Street and was feeling very satisfied. When he heard what the Third Old Master said, he said impatiently, "What's the point of saying this to me? There are so many people here. Is she just being kind and not wanting people to freeze to death? I don't believe it! She must have something bad in mind! Have you asked someone to keep an eye on her?"
The Third Old Master knew that Zhao Erde would say this. Fortunately, he was worried and had already asked people to keep an eye on them. He was afraid that Su Yao would really take those girls away and they would leave too.
I have arranged so many things just to wait for Su Yao. If Su Yao runs away, wouldn’t this trip be in vain
He smiled and said, "We have already sent someone to keep an eye on them. Don't worry, any movement they make will be seen by us!"
That was more or less the case. Zhao Er felt somewhat relieved, but vaguely uneasy. He stood up and walked around the room a few times before he stopped and squinted his eyes: "I have to find a way to inform Boss Qin. The longer the night, the more trouble!"
Better get the job done quickly.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Zhou Zhengshan won't be able to hold on for long. Xiao Heng and Su Yao have a very good relationship, and they will definitely become suspicious after a long time.
The third old master didn't dare to interrupt. Seeing how anxious he was, he couldn't help but become anxious as well, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
The two of them stared at each other until the middle of the night, and the person they sent out finally came back.
The Third Old Master was almost asleep, but he shuddered and perked up when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted, "Call them in!"
Looking back, Zhao Er was already seated. He hurriedly opened the door and called the people in. He asked them directly, "Tell me quickly, how is the situation over there? How about the Crown Prince's Consort? Is there anything wrong?"
The spy didn't dare delay. Although he was almost frozen to death, he shook his head with a pale face and said, "We are all watching. The women in the thatched cottage have all been moved to an abandoned farm. Although it is shabby, it is much better than the thatched cottage and can shelter from the wind and rain. The militiamen who were watching before are still guarding it. The people of the Crown Prince's Concubine have not taken any further actions. It is indeed as they said to the clan leader. They just want to prevent the women from freezing to death for the time being. As for the Crown Prince's Concubine, there is no movement. The brothers are watching her. If there is anything wrong, they will report it immediately."
After he said that, everyone felt relieved. They breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled at each other.
Satisfied, Zhao Er asked the third old master to reward the spy. After he finished talking about the business, he looked at the sky outside and suddenly found that it was almost dawn. The wind was still very strong, and the trees in the yard outside were almost bent.
With such bad weather, I don’t know how many ordinary people will die in these few days.
It’s just that some people’s deaths are nothing worth talking about, but some others are very meaningful.
Looking far away in the direction of the ancestral home, Zhao Er lowered his eyes to hide the ferocity that flashed across his eyes. When it was daybreak, he asked one of the militiamen who followed him to go out and deliver the letter.
He even reminded me again, "I don't care what method you use, even if you die, you have to help me deliver this letter to the destination. Don't worry, after the matter is completed, I will never treat you unfairly, and promotion and wealth are not a problem. If you really have any accidents, you can rest assured that I will make good arrangements for your wife and children."
