What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

Chu Zhao frowned. When did he ask Lu Xiaowu to look for a carriage again?

But Lu Xiaowu has always been honest and dutiful, and would never dare to embezzle the money and property.

Wu Dajiang pointed at Lu Xiaowu and said:

"I was the one who delivered all the boxes to the outside of the wall, and you took them and put them on the carriage. How come more than a dozen boxes suddenly disappeared?"

Lu Xiaowu shook his head: "No, I haven't seen more than a dozen boxes."

Another slap on the forehead,

"Oh! I remember now. I felt that the voice of the man who asked me to find the carriage was a little strange. But his clothes were the same as ours, so I didn't think too much about it."

Chu Zhao asked solemnly, "What does that person look like?"

Lu Xiaowu gestured and said, "He is about the same size as me, thin and about the same height as me. His face is covered, so I can't see his appearance clearly."

Wu Dajiang slapped his forehead:

"Yes, I was wondering why Xiao Wuzi didn't say a word and just kept moving things. That person's figure was indeed very similar to Xiao Wuzi, but everyone was masked and couldn't see his appearance clearly. Now that I think about it, there are many doubts."

The clothes were the same and the body shapes were similar. Chu Zhao glanced at everyone and said coldly:

"Look who's missing!"

Everyone took off their veils and found that Li Yong was missing.

But Li Yong is fatter, and his body shape is completely different from Lu Xiaowu.

Chu Zhao ordered his men to take the five large boxes away first, and he took Wu Dajiang back to the yard. After some searching, they found Li Yong who had fainted in the corner with only his underwear left.

Wu Dajiang woke Li Yong up. Chu Zhao saw the shadows of lanterns in the distance and guessed that a group of people were coming. He had no time to ask and quickly helped Li Yong escape from Sun's house.

Qingfeng Inn.

Because she had more than a dozen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, Gu Xi was so wealthy that she booked the largest upper room, which had several suites, enough for the five of them.

After arriving at the room, Gu Xi asked Qi about their experiences.

Qi had a kind personality, but she was also weak, and she was so tearful that she couldn't even utter a word.

It was my second sister Gu Ping who said:

"Sister, it was my second uncle and aunt. After we fled into the mountains, we had nothing to eat. My second uncle and aunt and my eldest brother went out to look for food and brought back some buns. After we ate them, we fell into a coma. When we woke up, we were in the hands of the traffickers.

When I was half asleep in the carriage, I heard my second uncle and second aunt telling the traffickers that we were runaway slaves. Because our family fell into poverty, we took the family’s money and ran away. They had no choice but to sell us.”

Nanny Yun echoed:

"Sister Ping is right. After I woke up, I also tried to trick the traffickers into believing that it was the Second Master and his men who sold us out."

Gu Ping was referring to Gu Yunze, Li, and the eldest son Gu Chao from the second branch of the Gu family.

Normally in the mansion, Second Aunt is very stingy. Everyone thinks she is a woman without vision who likes to be greedy for money.

During their exile, the second uncle and second aunt always complained to Qi, saying that they were just civil servants and that they were completely implicated by the eldest branch of the family this time.

Qi had been enduring all the way, but she didn't expect that her uncle and aunt would be so cruel.

Not only did they all flee when disaster struck, but they even cheated their first wife. They are truly a bunch of black-hearted thieves.

Even though Gu Xi was not the original owner, he was still filled with righteous indignation, thinking that if he met that family someday, he would make sure they were in trouble.

The whole family hugged each other and cried, then washed up and went to bed.

Gu Xi remembered that the carriage belonged to those thieves. She needed the carriage now. It would be troublesome if those thieves found it.

She would have to go down and put the carriage away, and somehow modify it so that it would be unrecognizable.

Gu Xi slipped to the backyard where the carriages were parked and put the carriage he had borrowed into the space.

Just as he was about to go back upstairs to rest, he heard someone talking in the room next door. Although the voice was deliberately kept low, the room was not very soundproof, and Gu Xi vaguely heard the three words "Lu Xiaowu".

I thought, could it be that group of stupid thieves who made me work for half a day?

So she tiptoed under the window and eavesdropped.

In an ordinary guest room, Chu Zhao listened to his subordinates' stories with a sullen face.

Lu Xiaowu recounted in detail how he was sent away to make sure there were no omissions.

Li Yong, who had been holding the back of his head and grimacing in pain, also said:

"Boss, I remember that I was knocked unconscious by a maid in the Sun Mansion. That maid was very cruel and hit me twice with a stick. Judging from her figure, she is really similar to Xiao Wuzi."

Chu Zhao’s brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

No, if it was a maid from the Sun Mansion, she could just call for help. Why did she have to knock Li Yong unconscious?

There is only one truth, that maid is fake!

I just don't know who this person is and whether it was premeditated or a coincidence.

It's really like a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. They worked hard all night, but ended up making wedding clothes for others.

"Don't let me catch her!" Chu Zhao said fiercely.

Gu Xi, who was eavesdropping at the wall, felt a little guilty, but when she thought that the other party was just thieves who got something for nothing, she felt relieved and tiptoed to leave.

Unexpectedly, I stepped on something and it made a crisp sound.

Chu Zhao's voice suddenly rang out from inside the room: "Who?!"

Gu Xi sighed inwardly, this really fits the classic routine in novels and TV dramas where eavesdropping through the wall will lead to being discovered.

Before Gu Xi could even escape, a figure jumped out of the window and slapped Gu Xi with his palm.

Gu Xi dodged quickly.

Although she has first-level fighting skills, which can deal with ordinary people, she is completely weak against martial artists.

Gu Xi dodged three moves in a row without any chance to fight back, and then the man grabbed the back of his neck and carried him into the room like a chicken.

Gu Xi was thrown to the ground and fell on her buttocks. She clasped her hands together and begged for mercy:

"Hello, big brothers, uncles, I am a customer of this store. I was just passing by and didn't hear anything. My room is upstairs. If you don't believe me, go ask the waiter."

Chu Zhao looked at Gu Xi coldly. He felt that this woman's eyes were vague and she didn't seem to be really afraid of them. There must be something fishy going on.

Li Yong looked at Gu Xi, feeling somewhat confused, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Boss, why do I feel like this woman looks familiar?"

Gu Xi thought to herself, she’s done for. When she knocked the man unconscious, although she disguised herself as a maid, because it was night, she didn’t change her appearance too much. Anyone who was more careful could indeed see it.

However, she would never admit it even if she was beaten to death.

Confess to be lenient, sit in prison, resist strictness, and go home for the New Year.

Chu Zhao asked Li Yong: "Where have you seen her?"

Li Yong took another closer look and said, "I think she looks a lot like the maid who knocked me out, but she's also a little different."

Chu Zhao stepped forward and lifted Gu Xi up.

Li Yong slapped his forehead and said, "It must be her! Look at her head and body shape, doesn't she look like Xiao Wuzi?"
