Xu Yin was slightly startled.
She had thought that these people might be bandits who fled here. When they saw people living on the top of the mountain, they came up to steal them. If they couldn't steal, they robbed them.
I also thought about whether I came to seek revenge but found the wrong person?
Only I never thought it was for the perfume formula in her hand.
He thought for a moment and said slowly: "This is the relic left by my parents to me. I'm sorry I can't agree to it."
Then dont blame us six brothers for being violent!
The man in black headed by him kicked up a long knife that the injured nurse had dropped on the ground, and approached Xu Yin step by step.
Girl, back off! Wang Huyuan held a long knife in front of Xu Yin and signaled her to go back to the house.
Xu Yin didn't make a sound. She clenched the mangrove stick in her hand and was about to strike first. Suddenly, something flashed in front of her eyes.
"ah-"
The man in black gave a short cry and fell to the ground.
The other thieves didn't even utter a sound, and fell to the ground one after another.
Xu Yin and Wang Huyuan looked at each other in surprise, and then looked around cautiously.
But except for the occasional chirping of cicadas and frogs from down the mountain, the surroundings were so quiet that it seemed like everything was just an illusion.
Boss, its a stone that hit the sleeping hole.
Its such a small stone?
Wang Huyuan examined the stones picked up from the ground by his men.
Six pebbles, about the size of the thumb cap, are no different from ordinary pebbles, but they can hit the sleeping holes of six men in black one after another without them realizing it.
This strength and accuracy made him amazed.
In your opinion, only the top masters in the world have this kind of strength, right?
Fortunately they are not enemies!
Otherwise, people like me might not even have a chance to call for help, right?
Thank you for your help, knight!
Wang Huyuan cupped his hands and thanked him loudly facing the empty sky. However, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind, there was no movement.
Xu Yin was also wondering: Who saved her?
When those men in black mentioned the perfume formula, she guessed who sent them: most of them were colleagues with competition.
Girl, what to do with these guys?
Wang Huyuan settled the injured men, **** the six unconscious men in black, and came over to ask for her opinion.
Send it to the Yamen tomorrow and accuse them of robbing the Xu familys spice formula. They failed to plunder it, and they wanted to kill people.
"yes!"
The next day, "mighty sounds" rang out from the Mingshan County government office.
The people nearby heard that six criminal thieves were trying to plunder the Xu family's spice formula, so they gathered around the Yamen Gate to watch curiously.
The six men in black slept until the gavel cracked and they woke up.
When I saw that I was in the hall, I was dumbfounded.
Could it be that he came to the Yamen to surrender while sleepwalking?
It wasnt until I heard the master read out the charges that I suddenly woke up:
yes! Didn't they ask the daughter of the Xu family for the secret recipe of perfume in Chashan Villa? Why are you here?
And why did they rob the Xu familys spice formula? Someone clearly hired them to do it.
The Xu familys sacrificial field is in Mingshan County. Mrs. Xu has often donated property to Mingshan County since his generation. Anyone who comes to Mingshan County to serve as a county magistrate has spent the past two years doing nothing but earning political achievements.
Therefore, disturbing the Xu family is tantamount to disturbing the benefactors of Mingshan County. Can the county magistrate not pay attention to it?
The six brothers were interrogated separately, and there was no way to change their confessions, so the six brothers gave various confessions. The boss said that they were walking up the mountain and accidentally fell into the Xu family courtyard. It was all a misunderstanding;
The second child said that the nurse from the Xu family invited them to have a drink, and they got into a fight over a disagreement while drinking...
After being interrogated all the way, no one told the truth.
It was Lao Liu's turn, and his Baihui point was still hurting. If it were any worse, he might have met the King of Hell.
So he bared his teeth and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it! I didn't get ten taels of gold, but people came in."
The sharp-eared government official immediately reported the incident to the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was stunned and ordered him to tell the truth.
Dont explain?
Then lets get twenty big boards first.
When he heard that he was about to get slapped, Lao Liu stiffened his neck and confessed the truth: "That's right! We really have no enmity with the Xu family. My six brothers use people's money to do things for them. Whoever gives us money, we will help him." Work.
Who hired you?
"Who knows? That man is wearing a black gauze cloak. I can't see his face clearly."
"Girl, this case is probably going to be unsolved." Xu Kui came back from the Yamen and came to Xu Yin worriedly, "The mastermind has not been found, and it is still not safe here. Girl, why don't you go back home?"
Xu Yin shook her head: "The other party didn't succeed. If they still want to continue, even if I return to the house, do you think nothing will happen? We should still do what we should do, but you can watch and send more people to protect the hospital. Yes. Well, the nursing home who was injured that day asked you to send them to Xujiacun to recuperate, how are they doing now?"
"Except for Zhao Dejin, who was a little seriously injured and still lying on the bed, everything else has recovered. I asked them to stay in Xujia Village for the time being. Anyway, it would be good to have more manpower patrolling there. The little one here has sent two more troops from the government. The team is coming."
You didnt tell the housekeeper, did you?
"The girl won't let me talk, but I will definitely listen to the girl. When my father asked, the boy said it was because the girl was short of manpower to grow flowers, and ordinary people had too little physical strength, so she had to be admitted to a nursing home."
Xu Yin smiled, quite clever.
Over there, Liao Ji's shopkeeper heard that the incident had been revealed, and that the six brothers on the road he had hired were actually captured alive.
What to do now!
He went to find his employer with a pale face.
Why are you panicking? I didnt confess you.
Liao Guangtian glanced at him and smoked a cigarette lazily.
He was not afraid at all. Even if the shopkeeper was found guilty, the worst he could do was push the shopkeeper out and pick up the bag. Anyway, this matter was handled by the shopkeeper from beginning to end.
But the boss
Okay! Lets do this for now. Well wait until the storm subsides to find out the secret recipe for the perfume. If youre afraid, just quit your job as a shopkeeper and go back to the countryside to farm.
The shopkeeper then stopped talking.
Having been accustomed to living a life of fine clothing and fine food, letting him return to the countryside to farm would be more painful than killing him.
Besides, based on his understanding of his employer, if he really resigned from his job as shopkeeper Liao Ji, he would probably be killed by the people hired by his employer before he returned to the countryside.
How can a person who knows too many secrets about his boss still expect to escape unscathed? Innocent!
If we say that before this case occurred, the expensive perfumes of Xu's Perfume Shop were only popular among the aristocratic class in Luo City.
Well, after this case, the common people at the bottom also know: that thing called perfume, just one drop is enough to give a woman a fragrant and natural body fragrance, making Xu's spice shop make a lot of money. No wonder it attracts interested people. He covets it and spends a lot of money to hire thieves to steal the formula.
If you are curious, you will go to Xus spice shop to inquire about it. You cant afford it, but its good to experience it.
But I was too embarrassed to just inquire without consuming, and I couldnt afford perfume. I saw other spices at low prices in the spice shop, so I bought some.
As a result, Xu's spice shop's business is more prosperous than ever before.
Xu Yin was quite dumbfounded after hearing this: Is this a blessing in disguise?
Its the last day of September, please give me your monthly ticket~o()o
