The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

Chapter 323 Tie them up for me!

Chapter 323

Apparently, he wasn't the only one who heard the clatter of horse hooves.

Some of the guests who were sleeping outside like them tonight also heard it.

However, their reaction to the sound of horse hooves seemed a little unusual.

Almost as soon as they heard the sound of horse hooves, some of them hurried to call those who were asleep.

The voice was very loud and he didn't seem to care at all whether it would disturb others.

Moreover, those who were woken up immediately started to busy themselves with packing up, and even took the opportunity to thank the people who woke them up.

Could the sound of horse hooves be some kind of "monster" that frightened them so much?

Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, woke up Han Yun'an first, and then asked him to wake up the others.

And he went to investigate the situation.

In just a moment, Xu Yi came back with the news.

"Did you ask anything?"

Xu Yi shook his head: "They were busy packing up and leaving, so they didn't have time to answer my questions. But someone did say something."

"What?"

"Tell me, if we don't find a place to hide, we'll be caught!"

"Caught? Who will catch us?"

Looking around at the emperor's feet, the people who can be arrested are either bandits or officials!

Even the bandits in Lingxiao City don’t dare to be so rampant, so how dare they do that under the feet of the emperor?

If they weren't bandits, then the only thing left was—

Han Yun'an just thought of this when he heard two voices at the same time:

"Official!"

One voice was Xu Yi, and the other was——

"Are you awake? Any ideas?"

Xu Yi asked as he looked at Qiao Xi who was walking towards him.

idea?

"Isn't it said that the people should not fight against the government? What do you think?"

Qiao Xi knew Xu Yi too well.

He asked himself what he thought, which meant he had his own thoughts.

"I want to see who's coming."

"Han Yun'an, what about you?"

Han Yun'an looked at Qiao Xi, then at Xu Yi, and hesitated: "Since we came here together, let's go into the city together. There's no need to separate."

The three of them agreed, and Qiao Xi nodded: "Okay, let's go into the city together!"

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer, and the light of the fire was getting closer, and the person on the horse could finally be seen clearly.

Some of them were wearing armor, and some were wearing officials' clothes, but there were more officials' clothes than armor.

Judging from the direction the horses were heading towards Xu Yi and his group, it seemed that they had also seen Xu Yi and his group.

After all, the two carriages were very conspicuous even in the dark with the light of the fire.

The one riding in the lead was a strong man wearing armor and with a face full of flesh.

Beneath his thick, ink-black eyebrows, his eyes were as sharp as blades, and his deep gaze seemed to be able to see into people's hearts.

His nose was straight and his lips were tightly pursed, revealing a ferocious murderous look.

The armor on his body reflected bursts of cold light under the light of the fire.

"Who is ahead?"

"We are from Lingxiao City in Tianle Country!"

"Why are you here?"

"Come to Baidi City to participate in the February examination!"

As he spoke till here, a man dressed in official clothes rode up on his horse, came to the side of the horse of the man who was asking the question, leaned sideways, and whispered something in the ear of the armored man.

However, Qiao Xi was sure that what the two of them were talking about must be related to them, because she noticed that the man in official clothes glanced at them from time to time and even pointed his finger in their direction.

They had never been to Baidi City, so the possibility that the officer knew them was almost zero.

His eyes were so sharp, if he wasn't an acquaintance, then the possibility of trouble was very high.

Just as Qiao Xi had this thought, she saw the two people talking separate, and then she heard the armored man ask:

"What are the names of those who are taking the imperial examination? Do you have any certificates proving your identities?"

"Have!"

After Xu Yi replied, he asked Han Yun'an to go and get their respective ID cards.

Soon, the two of them handed their ID cards to the armored strong man.

The burly man in armor brought the torch close to the document in his hand and looked at it carefully. When he looked up again, there was a smile on his face.

Is this okay?

If those people were so scared just now, it must have been a false alarm!

"I've finally been waiting. Come on, tie them up for me!"

Qiao Xi saw the strong man smile and just breathed a sigh of relief, but when she heard these words, she was immediately surprised and grabbed the arm of Xu Yi who was closer to her.

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the certificate you just gave me?"

"There's nothing wrong with the certificate; they're the ones with the problem. Don't be afraid, just wait and see what they're up to!

Also, quickly put these things and what you have in your hands away."

As Xu Yi spoke, he reached behind his back, avoiding the sight of those people, and stuffed the small porcelain bottles that Qiao Xi had stuffed into his hand back to Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi quickly took it, and while putting it back in her arms, she used her mind to send all the medicines on her body into the space.

As soon as the strong man finished speaking, several other people in armor came forward and tied up Xu Yi and others with ropes.

When they arrived in front of Qiao Xi, a man was obviously stunned, and then he shouted:

"Boss, there's a woman here!"

"Woman? Can you fight?"

"He looks weak and delicate, not like someone who knows martial arts."

"If she doesn't know martial arts, there's no need to tie her up. But keep her separate from the men!"

"okay!"

……

"Go in and stay still!"

Qiao Xi was caught off guard and pushed into a cell by a jailer.

As soon as she entered, she was almost fainted by the smell inside.

The floor inside the cell was in a mess, very damp, and smelled of urine and a foul odor.

The floor in one corner of the cell was covered with a layer of straw, but she smelled a musty odor from the straw.

I don’t know how long it has been since this thatch was changed, and I don’t know what kind of people have slept on it.

Faced with such a cell, Qiao Xi was really disgusted. As soon as she came in, she even wanted to slip into the space to avoid suffering in this cell.

But she has more important things to do right now.

While the jailer was still there, Qiao Xi hurriedly and kindly called the jailer to stop her, and quietly handed the things she had prepared to the jailer.

The jailer wanted to refuse, but when he looked down, he changed his mind.

In Baidi City, who would complain about having too much silver?

"Tell me what you want to ask!"

Hearing this, Qiao Xi thought that the jailer was quite sensible.

"Brother, I want to ask, where are the people who came with me being held?"

"Oh, they are men, so naturally they are locked up in a cell dedicated to men."

"How far is it from here?"

"Why, you ask so clearly, do you want to break out of prison?"

"How could I possibly do that? Look at me, a weak woman. How could I possibly pull off something as big as a prison break? I'm just a little scared. If I knew they were closer to me, I'd feel more confident and not be so scared."

The jailer looked Qiao Xi up and down and nodded. "That's true. In that case, it's okay to tell you."

They are probably only separated from you by a wall."

"Brother, do you know why we were locked up?"
