The general kneels on the washboard again

It turned out that keeping Ah Qi was the right decision.

That night, three thieves in black ran into Yue Niang's house. They seemed to be very familiar with the place and went straight to Yue Niang's room.

He had no idea that he had been locked onto by a pair of eyes in the dark. Just as his hand touched Yue Niang's door, several stones flew from somewhere and hit the waist of the leading thief.

The thief fell to the ground in pain and cried out inertia: "Ouch, what is that? It hurts so much."

Is it a woman?

Yue Niang in the house had a light sleep tonight and was awakened by the noise. She grabbed a weapon.

When Yue Niang came out of the house carrying a stool, the three of them had already been tied up by Ah Qi in the yard.

Old Madam Fu, Ruoyan and the others were also awakened by the noise and were now standing in the yard.

Ah Qi stood aside without saying a word, waiting for Yue Niang to give the order.

Following Ah Qi's gaze, the veils of several thieves had been removed, and two strong men and a woman were now having their mouths covered.

The woman was an acquaintance, none other than Zhang Lan'er's mother, Yang. Yue Niang feigned surprise, "Oh, isn't this Aunt Zhang? You're showing up in my yard in your night clothes so late at night. What are you doing?"

Looking at the gate again, there was no sign of it being opened.

As if he understood Yue Niang's thoughts, Ah Qi went outside to check and said, "There is a wooden ladder here."

I think these people came in by climbing over the wall.

Yue Niang did not ask any more questions, but Old Lady Fu was frightened and said anxiously: "This, this, this."

Having just learned about Ah Qi's origins, and now that he knew his abilities, he looked terrified: "Yue'er, what's going on?"

Ah Qi consciously told everything he saw: "To answer the old lady, these people climbed over the wall and went straight to the master's room. Their target should be the master."

Yue Niang looked at the worried old lady Fu and hurried over to support her: "Grandma, don't worry, leave it to me."

Old Madam Fu held Yue Niang's hand tightly, and the warmth from her hand reached Yue Niang's heart: "Yue'er, be careful."

She knew that Yue Niang now had her own plans and had begun to learn how to protect herself.

Yue Niang supported Old Lady Fu and said, "Grandma, it might get a little noisy later. You should go back to the house and rest first."

"No, Yue'er, I'll stay here with you." Old Mrs. Fu refused to leave.

Yue Niang coaxed her again, "Grandma, it's cold at night. It would be bad if I caught a cold. You can stay with me in the house anyway."

Only then did Mrs. Fu obediently return to the house.

Yue Niang looked at Ruoyan and Ji Mama who were motionless, and urged them: "Ruoyan, Ji Mama, you should go back and rest too."

Although I know they definitely can't sleep, I can't help them here.

After everyone returned to the house, Yue Niang looked at the three people on the ground carefully.

The two strong men each had a long scar on their face, and they didn't look like good people.

Yang kept sobbing and wanted to speak, and Yue Niang was sensible enough to take the rag out of her mouth.

All I heard was her hoarse voice yelling, "Help, someone's been killed."

Yue Niang did not stop her and let her scream. As a shrew, she still woke up many people.

Yue Niang opened the courtyard door wide, took a chair and sat under the eaves, signaling Ah Qi to get out of the way first.

In just a few cups of tea, the entrance of Yue Niang's house was surrounded by sleepy villagers.

Several of them were holding hunting weapons and kept looking around the yard: "Where was someone killed?"

Yang's hands and feet were tied, and she tried her best to plead with Yue Niang: "She's sitting right there, that little whore from the Fu family."

He continued to talk nonsense: "Look at how you tied me and my cousins up like this. They're going to kill us."

He continued without pausing for two seconds: "Oh my God, is there still any law?"

The people in the village had long seen through Yang and were just waiting for Yue Niang to speak.

As soon as Yang finished speaking "Wang Fa", Yue Niang spoke.

"It's the law, right? I've been waiting for you to say that. The law states that anyone who wears night clothes after curfew and doesn't return home will be treated as a thief. The village chief is here too, so why not let him judge the case?"

The village chief walked into the yard with a sullen face.

Yang's voice suddenly weakened. "Village Chief, I am innocent."

She didn't know anything about the law or not, it was just that the Lord had given her so much.

The village chief groaned, "Unjust? Go and tell the village head tomorrow."

The other two strong men didn't say a word from beginning to end. When the village chief went to check, they were already dead. It seemed that they were dead men. How could Yang be willing to spend such a big sum of money?

Yue Niang also went up to check: "Village Chief, it's poisoning."

Now that her accomplice was dead, Yang started talking nonsense again: "Village chief, it was all done by this little whore. She was the one who killed them."

At this time, a curious person at the door could no longer contain his excitement and planned to come in to take a look.

Yue Niang yelled, "Don't move." The people outside the door were frightened.

"Since you say I killed him, I will report him to the authorities now. They will open his body and conduct a thorough investigation."

"No, it wasn't you who killed him, it was that monster who killed him." Yang changed the tone again.

Yue Niang naturally knew that she was talking about Ah Qi, but the fewer people knew about Ah Qi's affairs, the better.

"Monster? You brought two strong men to my house and turned it over. I don't know what frightened you into going insane, and you were wearing night clothes. Thanks to your insane behavior, the four of us had to go through the trouble to tie you up. Why would I kill you? Once I report you to the authorities, you'll understand."

Yang was speechless. If the government really came to investigate, her dealings with that person would be discovered.

At this time, he kept begging for mercy: "Village chief, please let me go. I was wrong. These two criminals really wanted to steal money and forced me to lead the way. I had no choice."

These two must be assassins, but who sent them? The Ding family?

The only family I have offended recently is the Ding family, so I have to be careful. As for Yang and Yue Niang, they are really exhausted, but there is no way to eliminate the trouble forever.

They could only hand it over to the village chief first: "Grandpa Village Chief, I'll leave this man to you to deal with. We are weak and alone, and we can't handle this kind of thing."

The village chief took the man away, and the villagers who had come to bravely help went home and fell asleep again.

The yard returned to peace, as if nothing had happened.

Ah Qi came to Yue Niang's side and said, "Master, how about killing her?"

Yue Niang shook her head and said, "No need. She is just a foolish woman." Later, Yue Niang would pay a heavy price for this idea.

......

The village chief cared most about the reputation of Nanshan Village, and he could not really convict Yang and send him to the authorities for investigation. He only locked him up in the ancestral hall for a few days as a minor punishment and a major warning.

During this period, Yue Niang took Ah Qi to buy some clothes.

Jiang Yunxiao appeared behind Yue Niang and Ah Qi like a ghost: "Yue Niang."

Yue Niang and Ah Qi turned around. Jiang Yunxiao looked at Ah Qi and suddenly asked Yue Niang angrily, "Who is this?"

Yue Niang's eyebrows knitted together as she briefly introduced them: "This is Ah Qi, and this is Jiang Yunxiao."

Jiang Yunxiao squeezed past Ah Qi and walked between the two of them. "Are you a new hire? What delicious food did you buy?"

"You only know how to eat. Where have you been these days?" The two of them exchanged greetings.

"I'll take you with me some other day."

Ah Qi hid in the dark in an empty corner.

Jiang Yunxiao was observing and leaned over to whisper in Yue Niang's ear: "Yue Niang, why are you sneaking around like that? I'll hold you back first, you run quickly."

Yue Niang sighed deeply: "Aqi, come out."

Ah Qi appeared behind the two of them. Jiang Yunxiao protected Yue Niang, but was frightened and stepped back repeatedly when Ah Qi said respectfully, "Master."

"Master?" Although Dacheng has many secret guards, how does Yue Niang have this ability these days?

Yue Niang recounted the general story, and at the end, Jiang Yunxiao clapped his hands and exclaimed, "You're so lucky. Okay, okay, let's go home. I'm hungry."
