Chapter 654 The Inn is Besieged
There were at least two people. Ji Xiaobei saw two groups of black clothes separate, one went forward, and the other stopped under the window.
Ji Xiaobei opened the window a little wider.
"Swoosh" another thing flew over. Ji Xiaobei leaned out slightly and grabbed it in his hand.
It's a small stone.
The dark shadow stopped under the window, motionless.
She threw the pebble down.
"Snapped……"
"Ouch..." a scream.
……
At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door gently.
Ji Xiaobei walked quickly to the door, opened it with a bang, and then closed it neatly. A pair of big hands had already clamped the man's neck.
The man was pushed against the wall, staring at Ji Xiaobei with big, frightened eyes.
Ji Xiaobei was afraid of waking up others here.
She pinched his neck viciously and dragged him to an abandoned warehouse nearby.
There are a lot of tables, chairs and benches piled up inside.
Ji Xiaobei kicked the door lightly.
Just as the door closed, her other big foot kicked his knee.
The man fell backwards and lay on a broken low table.
"Auntie... spare me..." He trembled and hadn't finished his words yet. Ji Xiaobei approached him again and stepped on his stomach.
"Rake, do I have a grudge against you?" Ji Xiaobei gritted his teeth.
Huang Po had treated his son's illness, and all the people who came had drunk the herbal medicine boiled by Huang Po.
He didn't ask for a penny for the medicine.
Ji Xiaobei couldn't figure out how he had offended him.
"No, no... Auntie, please spare me, I won't dare to do it again..." Pa Zi stared and tried to push Ji Xiaobei's hands with both hands, but when he saw her ferocious face, he withdrew his hands.
"Who told you to do this?" Ji Xiaobei said coldly.
The rake shuddered and said, "No, I brought this upon myself..."
Ji Xiaobei put more strength into his feet.
Rake felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his stomach.
"Auntie, I'm telling you, I'm telling you..." Rake took a breath.
He couldn't say that he was jealous of Ji Xiaobei and the others' good life.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "I went out to drink wine that day and was caught by Master Fu. I was scolded by Ye Tianguan, so I hold a grudge against him..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Xiaobei blurted out: "Master Fu also went to drink wine, and met you?"
Rake was almost suffocated by being stepped on. He waved his hands in panic: "No, no, I ran into him at the door of the inn when I came back..."
Ji Xiaobei said "oh" in his heart.
"I'll spare you this time, but next time I catch you, be careful with your legs..." Ji Xiaobei relaxed his feet and stood up straight.
Rake held his stomach and gasped for a long time before coming to his senses.
"Can I, can I go now?" Rake asked in a trembling voice.
"Okay, let's go!"
Rake had just taken a step when he heard a question from behind him: "Is the man under the window also one of you?"
Rake didn't dare to turn around, and said, "Yes, please spare my life..."
Rush out the door.
Ji Xiaobei dusted off his hands and left the house.
She didn't take the rake incident seriously. This wave of virus would soon pass, so there was no need to worry.
She always felt that the affairs of the Black Lotus Cult would not end so easily.
What is the purpose of the Black Lotus Cult?
Tomorrow, the government office will no longer serve porridge. I don’t know what will happen.
Ji Xiaobei fell asleep with a heavy heart.
The next day, just after dawn, a lot of people gathered at the entrance of the inn.
Noisy.
Mrs. Ye ran upstairs in a panic, but tripped when she reached the stairs and fell to her knees with a thud.
"Oh my God, this is incredible... Miss Ji, Miss Ji..."
Mrs. Ye lifted her skirt and crawled up.
Ji Xiaobei came out holding Guoguo and asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Madam Ye, who is outside?"
"Oh no, oh no! The government officials are here!" Mrs. Ye said breathlessly.
"Ah...people from the government..."
Jiaojiao came out and carried Guoguo into the house.
Ji Xiaobei followed her downstairs, and on the way Mrs. Ye told him the whole story in a disjointed manner.
"The government officials came and said there was a plague, and that we brought it from outside. They surrounded us, and that Tong, Master Tong and my husband were negotiating with them..."
"Ah..." Ji Xiaobei walked quickly over there.
What a bullshit plague! Isn’t it just herpetic pharyngitis?
How did it become a plague?
There were about one or two hundred people who came together to store land, and they were all trapped in the inn.
There were only a few guys on duty left in the inn.
Lu Xiong and the others have gone home to celebrate the New Year.
The gate was closed and people from the government office were guarding the door.
"Sir, please let us out. We are waiters of the inn and have nothing to do with them..." Several waiters begged through the crack of the door.
"No one in the inn is allowed to leave...wait for your fate..."
The voice was heartless and cold.
The people who came to the field were scared to death when they heard this.
They had heard that in the past, people who were infected with the plague were burned to death. Although they had never seen it with their own eyes, the older generation all said so.
Lord Tong's face turned pale.
Ye Tianguan looked dejected, he had no idea what was going on, how did he become the source of infection?
The men surrounded Ye Tianguan with anxious looks on their faces, trying to make decisions.
Ye Tianguan had never experienced such a big thing before, and he was so panicked that he had no idea what to do.
He looked at Lord Tong, who held a higher official position than him.
He was the Minister of Rites. Although he was demoted, he was knowledgeable and experienced.
"Tong, Lord Tong, what should we do? Lord Fu is not here, you see..." Ye Tianguan said tremblingly.
Master Tong had seen a lot of things, so he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Calm down everyone first, I'll go ask what's going on."
Ye Tianguan took Lin Laowa and a few older men and whispered to each other.
The men persuaded their women to go back into the house.
They came back and surrounded Ye Tianguan. They didn't dare to get close to Lord Tong because he was too high-ranking an official.
Lord Tong went to the door and negotiated with the guards.
The guard is ruthless and impartial. If you want to see the prefect, no way!
They were just following the prefect's order; no one, no matter who they were, was allowed to leave the inn.
Lord Tong had never suffered such humiliation before, and he was so angry that he was puffing out his beard and glaring.
Ji Xiaobei followed Mrs. Ye and rushed over from the backyard.
As soon as the men saw Ji Xiaobei, their faces changed immediately. It was because of this woman and her child that brought the plague.
Old Man Lin held down those young men.
"Miss Ji, the plague you talked about has really come!" Old Man Lin's face was full of indignation.
Ji Xiaobei ignored him and glanced coldly at the crowd.
Sure enough, there was no rake.
"Uncle Lin, why is your cousin Pa Zi gone?" Ji Xiaobei asked.
The men then discovered that Rake and his brother Mole were missing.
