Become a founding empress in ancient times with the system

Li Hui's face was serious. Nothing happened in the first half of the night, so it must be the second half.

She looked up at the night sky. It was almost midnight, the time when people are most sleepy. She turned left and right and warned, "Be careful, don't doze off."

Suddenly, Li Hui's ears moved. "Here it comes."

-----

"Young Master, Young Master," Xu Qing ran over early in the morning. "Someone did try to rob us last night, but they were beaten back."

Li Hui also walked in and asked with some doubt: "It's true that these people want to rob us, but their biggest purpose is to find out what's inside our carriage?"

Even though they were defeated yesterday, they still opened the carriage and took a look, as if they had confirmed something, before deciding to leave.

Sheng Changan knocked on the table thoughtfully. Fortunately, these carriages all had mezzanines, so important things would naturally not be placed in the open.

"No matter what, as long as the things are still there, it's fine. Chen Ze and the other two have already left. If everything goes well, we can leave tomorrow."

Li Hui was silent for a moment. "Sir, we may not be able to leave for a while."

"What's wrong?" Sheng Changan was a little surprised.

Xu Qing on the side slapped the table and said, "The carriage has been chopped into pieces." He had dragged Wang Yi out to watch the fun early in the morning. Now that it was torn into pieces, it would definitely not be able to leave for a while.

Sheng Changan gasped, "What?" If he couldn't leave, how much would it cost?

"Three carriages, all gone?"

Li Hui quickly shook his head. "The one you were riding in was fine. Only the two cars at the back that were used to carry things were chopped down."

I didn't expect those people to have such a clear purpose. Fortunately, it was only chopped in half, not completely gone. "We also captured two people, young master, you have to see it."

They caught someone, but they were afraid that these people were colluding with the government. Sheng Changan stood up and said, "Let's go and report to the authorities."

Xu Qing was still a little dazed. "Sir, are you serious?"

Sheng Changan curled his lips and said, "Of course I'm serious. You just stay in the inn. Wang Yi, Li Hui and a few others will go with me."

Li Hui left Gao Qiang and a large number of men behind, and only took four people with him, and took away the two thieves who were caught last night.

Manager Sun was a little surprised that these people were fine. He glanced at the two people who were captured. Their faces were bruised and swollen, and their hands hung down weakly, which showed that their arms must have been cut off.

Even so, they found a rope and tied the person up. "Where are you going, Miss?"

Seeing that Shopkeeper Sun was asking a question that he already knew the answer to, Sheng Changan said with a relaxed expression, "Last night, thieves actually tried to steal my property. Fortunately, my men were very capable and caught two people."

"I was planning to take them to the authorities to report the crime. I can't let these people off easily. They also cost me two carriages. I have to find the person behind them and demand compensation."

Shopkeeper Sun laughed so hard that his eyes were lost. "Miss, how are you going?"

"Of course we have to go there with great fanfare, to let everyone see that even with General Liu here, there are still villains causing trouble in the city." Sheng Changan acted like a newborn calf who is not afraid of a tiger.

"It shows how arrogant these people are. Let's go."

"Hey! Wait, wait." Shopkeeper Sun's fat body was unusually flexible at this moment, blocking the door. "Miss, this is not right, this is not right, Miss, you don't know."

"These people's identities are not simple. They have connections in the government. Even if they are taken there, they will be acquitted in the end."

Sheng Changan was surprised. "What? Such audacity, General Liu doesn't care?"

Shopkeeper Sun said mysteriously, "The person behind them is General Liu's favorite concubine."

"Then we should talk to General Liu. These people are so excessive that it will inevitably damage his reputation. It's a good opportunity to deal with them personally."

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Sheng Changan's stubborn expression and said with a smile, "Miss, you may be trying to please yourself for a while, but we can't afford to offend you!"

"I think it would be better if I paid for the repair of your carriage, and I would let our shop take care of these two people."

Seeing Sheng Changan's hesitation, he continued, "General Liu dotes on that concubine the most. He won't punish her for such a small matter, but you, my lady, are different."

"If you offend her, you might die without knowing how you did it." Then he added earnestly, "People shouldn't fight against officials!"

Sheng Changan seemed persuaded. "Alright then! I'm just waiting for this carriage to be repaired. I'm still waiting to get on the road!"

"Don't worry, miss. I'll fix it for you today."

Li Hui gestured to hand the person over.

Since there is no need to report to the police, Sheng Changan naturally does not need to go out.

Looking at the backs of the two people going upstairs, and making sure that they couldn't hear him, Manager Sun's expression suddenly changed. Two people came out from nowhere and dragged the people in.

"Sir, are we just going to let it go like this?" Li Hui was a little unwilling.

Sheng Changan sat on the stool, his eyes darkening slightly. "We can only let it go. The water is very deep here. Send someone to keep watch over those who come to repair the carriage."

"Yes." Li Hui stepped out.

"Sir, why don't you ask for more compensation?" Wang Yi was a little surprised. These people were obviously related to the shopkeeper.

Sheng Changan sighed slowly, "I can't accept it. There must be someone behind this Shopkeeper Sun. It's just a small matter of repairing the carriage. Of course he would be willing to do such a small thing."

"But if he's asked to pay compensation, maybe he won't care. He just thinks that taking these people to the government office like this will attract too much attention, and someone might recognize them on the way."

"It's just a little troublesome to deal with it later. But it's just a little troublesome."

This shopkeeper Sun is obviously good at calculating and loves money very much. He doesn't care if he doesn't have to pay out of his own pocket. But if you want to touch his money, it's like asking for his life.

"Do you still remember what he said yesterday?" Sheng Changan also wanted to remind Wang Yi.

"Is there anyone from the government?" Wang Yi uttered these four words hesitantly.

Sheng Changan nodded. "It might be his idea for these people to rob the passing caravans, but it must be the idea of ​​his people to check what's on the caravan carriages."

Looking at it this way, Shanglian is indeed up to something. "If we really attract the attention of the people behind him, we might have to go home soon."

Wang Yi nodded thoughtfully. He had also been studying for a while, and with a little guidance from someone, he could now figure out many things.

"Anyway, let's leave as soon as possible." Sheng Changan sighed. Now she really couldn't afford to offend anyone. She had already made the Xianbei her enemy, so naturally she had to stay away from here.

Fortunately, they didn't care about Guangping at all. Would an elephant care about a small ant? No, for them, this ant could be crushed to death at any time as long as they wanted.
