At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Chapter 153: Being stopped

After hearing her words, Jiang Zao felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

But she didn't show it and just shook her head.

"No need."

"I am just fulfilling your brother's request."

Huang Zhong was even more delighted.

He quickly kowtowed to Jiang Zao to express his gratitude.

Originally, he learned that the young master was going to give all of the Cheng family's property to the girl in front of him in order to save the young lady. Although he was reluctant in his heart, because it was the young master's words, he was loyal and had no choice but to obey.

Now I know that I was able to keep most of it, and I’m so happy.

Jiang Zao calculated Cheng Shu's expenses along the way and made a simple list for Cheng Shu.

The latter took out the banknotes very readily.

Both parties are now clear of disputes.

Jiang Zao asked Dongxue to pack up her things and prepare to go to the next destination.

At this time, there were no government officials at the door.

There were only three or two beggars dozing off in the corner.

Jiang got on the carriage in the morning and closed his eyes to rest.

Halfway through the journey, the carriage suddenly stumbled and Jiang Zao almost fell out of the carriage.

Fortunately, Dongxue pulled her back in time.

"Miss, be careful."

Jiang Zao grabbed Dongxue and the car wall at the same time.

"Quick, check what's going on?"

Don't wait for the winter snow to come out.

There was a sound of swords and spears.

"Listen up, everyone inside. The mayor is here. Get off the carriage and surrender."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you call me Miss?"

Mo Bai's scolding voice was louder than those people.

"Humph, you traitors, you actually dare to resist. It seems you don't want to live anymore."

The person who said this was extremely arrogant.

"Come on, surround them and drag them out."

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Zao grabbed the veil hat beside him with one hand and put it on, and opened the car curtain with the other hand.

The whole person suddenly appeared in front of everyone like a snow lotus.

Although the crowd could not see her face clearly, they could hear her voice.

Like an iron spear hitting metal or stone, crisp and clear.

"What have we done to warrant your mobilizing so many troops and arbitrarily accusing us of a crime that we don't even know about?"

After getting out of the carriage, Jiang Zao saw that this was a remote road.

There were few pedestrians on the road.

Every household kept their doors closed, as if they were afraid that the crisis would affect them.

As for the people opposite, except for one who was dressed more formally, the others were dressed in all kinds of styles.

Weapons are also varied.

There are knives and swords, as well as long ropes and brooms.

Jiang Zao saw that there was actually someone holding a chipped kitchen knife.

They don't look like a regular army, but more like a group of rabble.

Weiwei glanced behind her and saw that a few meters behind the carriage, they were also surrounded by the same group of people.

It seems like they are trying to catch Jiang Zao and the others in a trap.

These are the people who forced them to stop?

"Humph, you outsiders, you are not honest after entering Qingshui Town, and you dare to rob the Cheng family. Why don't you take out all the property and hand it over to the government, so that the master can spare your death penalty."

The leader said this and stroked his beard. He was thin and had deep wrinkles on his forehead.

Another chubby middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes standing next to him nodded approvingly.

No words were spoken.

Judging from his attire, Jiang knew that this was the so-called "mayor".

As for the person who spoke just now, he should be the "mayor's" subordinate.

The mayor and the county magistrate are in cahoots with each other. Does the third prince really not know about this?

Jiang Zao jumped off the carriage and said loudly.

"Although I am a foreigner, I have just come to this treasure land and I am only visiting old friends. How can I rob people? Moreover, I am just a weak woman with only this carriage behind me. How can I put the loot?"

The person who spoke received a signal from the "mayor" and took three or two steps forward.

The disdain was evident in his words.

"Whether it can be installed or not is up to us to decide."

Suddenly he became stern and aggressive.

"Why don't you open the curtains and let the officials take a good look at it?"

A smile immediately came from the opponent's thugs on all sides.

The notched knife seemed to be about to make another bigger cut and fell to the ground trembling. The owner of the knife immediately picked it up.

Continue laughing with everyone.

Jiang Zao's heart sank.

These people have no rules and seem to be only interested in making money.

And listening to what they say and seeing what they do, it doesn't seem like they are just looking for money.

Today, we must not let them succeed.

Otherwise, their fate will be unpredictable.

"Why, do you want me to do it myself, sir?"

The person who was speaking had a warm look in his eyes, as if he couldn't wait to do it himself.

As he said that, he actually walked forward and headed towards Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao did not retreat, but just said in a deep voice.

"Sir, the carriage is for my travels, and the things inside cannot be seen by outsiders. Please stop."

"Hahahaha, you actually stopped me. Do you know who I am? I'm the mayor of Qingshui Town. I'm straightforward. I have to see what's inside. What should the young lady do?"

The person who was speaking laughed loudly.

Jiang Zao's face was gloomy.

Is he the mayor?

Who is that person in fancy clothes next to him?

Regardless, they pressed on.

Today is destined not to end well.

The man who revealed himself to be the mayor was already a few steps away.

Jiang Zao raised his left hand.

The mayor smiled very proudly, and his thin body swayed from side to side.

"Oh, young lady, are you going to surrender now? Hey, why don't you say it earlier? I, the mayor, am not an unreasonable person."

Jiang Zao saw the right moment and pressed the switch.

A sound of breaking through the air appeared.

With a "whoosh", it sank into the man's chest.

The man who was feeling proud suddenly stopped talking.

Everyone was still laughing.

"Why is there no sound? Or are you blinded by the treasure?"

The mayor fell backwards.

There was a bang.

Everyone gasped in shock.

The scene suddenly became cold.

There are molecules of surprise floating in the air.

After a few seconds, someone's voice shouted.

"The mayor is dead!"

The group of people retreated like headless flies, holding their strange weapons.

They are greedy for money, but they want their lives.

Normally, they were instigated by the mayor to do some robbery. For a little profit, they made Qingshui Town miserable and the people suffered terribly.

Now they saw that their highest official, the mayor, had fallen.

This group of rabble is just like monkeys scattering when a tree falls, they just want to run away in a mess.

But this alley is narrow.

There were so many people gathered together that it was impossible to run away in a short period of time, and instead they were squeezed together.

And behind Jiang Zao and the others, they were also squeezed.

Dilemma.

Jiang Zao said loudly.

"rush out."

Turning the cart around is unlikely.

It's too narrow here, so the only thing to do is to rush forward and fight a way out.

The man in brocade clothes was surprised when the mayor fell down.

Until the crowd became agitated, Jiang Zao shouted loudly.
