In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband

After about a cup of tea, the people outside saw that there was no movement in the house and prepared to break in. However, just as the other party stepped in, Su Zhizhi appeared in front of them, holding a dagger in her hand, showing it to the thieves outside the door.

The other party didn't seem to expect Su Zhizhi to be squatting next to the door, and was frightened, but one of them reacted quickly and pulled the man back.

Su Zhizhi shouted, "Who are you?" Then, Su Zhizhi picked up a dagger and stabbed the person outside the door.

The other party had come here to steal and had no weapons. They were forced to retreat by Su Zhizhi. In the end, one of them gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, the plan has changed. Retreat!"

After saying that, the two of them ran faster than anyone else. The others who were trying to attack Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun heard the commotion here, were stunned for a moment, and then they all retreated.

The two people who were still in the house heard Su Zhizhi's voice and thought something had happened to Su Zhizhi, so they ran out of the house and saw Su Zhizhi standing in the corridor with a dagger in her hand, looking towards the stairs.

Xie Chengjin quickly ran towards Su Zhizhi, "Zhizhi, what happened?" Xie Chengjin asked worriedly, while also checking whether Su Zhizhi was injured.

Seeing that there were no traces, Xie Chengjin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Zhizhi told the two of them what had just happened. Xie Chengjin fell into deep thought, and Shen Wenjun said, "Miss Su, Mr. Xie, it seems that this inn is not very safe. If we stay here any longer, I'm afraid we don't know what will happen. Miss Su may have escaped this time, but next time may not be the case. Otherwise, we should leave here first and find another place to rest."

Xie Chengjin also agreed with Shen Wenjun's proposal. The three of them reached a consensus and went back to their rooms to pack their things, planning to leave at night.

But no one expected that a bigger trouble was coming towards them.

Su Zhizhi was still packing her things when she heard some movement downstairs. Su Zhizhi had a bad feeling in her heart and quickened her movements.

But before she could finish packing, someone knocked loudly on the door. Su Zhizhi's eyes suddenly froze. She hid the bag in her hand and looked outside the door vigilantly without saying a word.

But the person knocking on the door showed no sign of stopping. Instead, Xie Chengjin's voice came from the side, "Who are you? What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Following closely behind Xie Chengjin came a rude voice, "The government is investigating a case, outsiders should not interfere!"

Then Su Zhizhi's door was kicked open with great force, and several men who looked like officers and soldiers, led by the innkeeper, walked in swaggeringly.

Su Zhizhi stopped in front of them and asked, "What are you all doing so late at night? I'm going to rest now. If you have nothing else to do, please leave."

One of the soldiers was immediately enraged upon hearing Su Zhizhi's words. He pointed at Su Zhizhi's nose and cursed, "How dare you! Who are you to tell me to get out?"

After saying that, the officer stepped forward and looked Su Zhizhi up and down before slowly speaking, "In my opinion, you are very suspicious. You might be the suspect we are looking for."

The innkeeper nearby quickly chimed in, "Right, right, that's right. She's highly suspicious, sir. How about this? Let's search her room first and see if we can find anything."

The innkeeper looked at the officers and soldiers and suggested.

The officers and soldiers thought what he said made perfect sense. "Yes, come on! Quickly search this room and see if you can find any evidence."

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of officers and soldiers began to search Su Zhizhi's room in a brazen manner.

Su Zhizhi subconsciously felt that the other party had ill intentions and wanted to stop them, but she was warned as soon as she stepped forward.

"The government is searching for something, and if you try to stop them, they'll lock you up immediately. I advise you to be cautious."

The officers and soldiers warned Su Zhizhi.

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi could only stand aside and watch helplessly, not daring to act rashly anymore.

After a while, the officers and soldiers found a thick stack of silver bills from Su Zhizhi's package. Seeing so much money, the officers and soldiers' eyes widened and they subconsciously wanted to keep it for themselves.

However, this money was the salary given to Su Zhizhi by her black-hearted boss when she was working at Manxinglou. Seeing her hard-earned money being pocketed by others, Su Zhizhi was naturally furious. She quickly stopped them and said, "What are you doing? This is the money I earned."

The officers and soldiers were slightly startled when they heard the words, but they quickly found a good excuse for themselves, "Oh? Really? How can a woman like you get so much money? We're afraid that the source of so much money is unknown, so I'll keep it with you for the time being. I'll give it to you once I find out where it came from."

The officer said to Su Zhizhi with a righteous look on his face.

Su Zhizhi didn't say anything else because she had realized that the money would most likely not be returned.

Seeing that Su Zhizhi did not refute again, the officers and soldiers thought that Su Zhizhi was fooled, so they left with satisfaction and swagger.

Looking at the backs of the officers and soldiers, it would not be an exaggeration to describe Su Zhizhi as being raging with rage. After thinking it over, she felt that she still could not swallow this humiliation and had to retaliate severely.

Su Zhizhi looked up at the inn and suddenly had a bold idea in her mind. Since this black-hearted boss likes to cheat people, don't blame her for being ruthless.

Isn't it about money? She wanted to see how the innkeeper would react if he saw the inn he had worked so hard to run for many years destroyed by a fire.

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi showed an evil smile at the corner of his mouth.

While the unscrupulous boss and the soldiers went to search other floors, Su Zhizhi quietly slipped into the kitchen, took out a large bucket of diesel from the universal capsule and filled the entire kitchen with it. Then Su Zhizhi took a lighter and started a fire.

In an instant, the dancing flames filled the entire kitchen. Watching the fire growing bigger and bigger, Su Zhizhi showed a satisfied smile on her lips, then turned around and left without hesitation.

After returning to her room, Su Zhizhi stayed quietly for a while. After hearing someone shouting "Fire" downstairs, Su Zhizhi slowly took Xie Chengjin and Shen Wenjun out of the inn.

But after walking a few steps, Shen Wenjun touched his bag and said to Su Zhizhi with a serious face, "Oh no! I left my book at the inn and forgot to bring it with me."

After saying that, Shen Wenjun subconsciously prepared to rush back to the inn to get it. That was the book Su Zhizhi had bought for him with great difficulty, and he couldn't bear to see it destroyed again.
