He just came to the backyard to move two bags of charcoal, but he encountered robbers.
Murong Jiaojiao exclaimed that her fate was too unfortunate and that she encountered all kinds of bad luck.
The robber got angry when she said she didn't know where the third young lady's room was and wanted to knock her out, but she dodged it nimbly.
He was so angry that he wanted to attack, but when he heard the other party said that he was a temporary worker hired by this company, he reluctantly stopped.
"Okay, then tell me where this is." He stopped and asked loudly.
Although it is said to be a loud voice, the sound is actually quite low.
"This is the backyard where this house keeps its sundries. No matter who you're looking for, you've come to the wrong place if you've come here." Murong Jiaojiao didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly.
There was still dust on her face from moving soybeans, and the cloth hat on her head was crooked, making her look extremely disheveled.
"Backyard?" The robber looked around and seemed to believe what he said.
His expression relaxed for a moment and then immediately turned fierce again: "Didn't you say you were a temporary worker and knew all this?"
It was obvious that he felt that he was being fooled by Murong Jiaojiao again.
"I really am just a temporary worker. I know this because he brought me here to move chores." Murong Jiaojiao explained quickly.
Facing an emotionally unstable robber, if you are slow to explain, you may lose your life.
"Okay, then tell me where the women live." The robber had a black cloth covering his face, and nothing could be seen except his eyes.
Murong Jiaojiao could see the cruelty in his eyes alone.
"Well, they should live in the front." Murong Jiaojiao saw him raise his hand again and said quickly in surprise.
“This is a sundry house, and those nobles certainly wouldn’t live so close to it.
No matter who you are looking for, just keep moving forward."
She spoke quickly and urgently, giving people the feeling that she would say anything to survive.
Although I can't trust her completely, I can't see any calculation in her panicked eyes.
"I'll let you go this time, but you'd better not play any tricks on me, otherwise I'll kill you." The robber left a harsh word before leaving, warning with gritted teeth.
This sounds very harmless, but in fact it has no lethal power.
Murong Jiaojiao didn't believe that the other party could accurately find a small shrimp like her in the crowd.
She raised her eyebrows helplessly and stood there waiting for the robbers to go away before she ran out quickly.
He was anxious and scared, and the way he staggered while running showed that he was terrified.
There were two guards who happened to be changing shifts not far away. Seeing how panicked she was, they immediately called her.
"Hey, boy, what are you doing?"
The guard's tone was rude, even a little fierce.
But to Murong Jiaojiao, this voice sounded like the sound of life-saving music from nature.
"Brother, guard brother, help me!" she shouted anxiously.
"What's the matter? How can you be so flustered?" The two guards didn't look happy when they heard her words, and scolded her in a low voice.
"There are robbers, there are robbers!" Murong Jiaojiao swallowed and explained quickly.
"What did you say?" The two guards were stunned for a moment, and then drew out their swords at the same time.
"There are robbers over there." Murong Jiaojiao was afraid that they would not believe her, so she quickly pointed in the direction she came from.
The servant who was knocked unconscious was still there, so if they went over and saw it, it would naturally be convincing.
Sure enough, the two guards followed her to the yard where the sundries were placed, and their faces suddenly changed when they saw the servant fainted on the ground.
"Where are the robbers? Where did they go?" One of the guards immediately took up his knife and became alert, asking Murong Jiaojiao in a stern voice.
"I sent him to the front yard. He wanted to find the Third Miss's room. I was afraid that the Third Miss would be murdered." Murong Jiaojiao did not hide it and directly expressed her thoughts.
Although she was not familiar with this place, she knew that the more she moved towards the front yard, the more people there would be.
I don’t know if the robber is here to rob us of our money or our women. What if he wants to rape the third young lady?
Not to mention the feudal society, even the era she lived in was not so tolerant of these things.
If the robber really raped the third young lady, she would most likely die.
Although they had never met before, Murong Jiaojiao had no intention of harming anyone.
She was still feeling lucky for her cleverness when a guard ordered his companions to arrest her.
"What?" Murong Jiaojiao asked in surprise, still a little dazed.
"What? Humph, you were the one who brought the robber in, right? Stop talking nonsense and come with me first." The guard didn't listen to her explanation at all and dragged her to the front yard without saying anything.
Murong Jiaojiao felt so wronged. She couldn't deal with these two guards the same way she would deal with robbers.
She could still deal with the robbers, but if she fought back now, wouldn't it confirm the fact that she was in collusion with the robbers?
She felt so aggrieved that she couldn't express it, but she was eventually thrown into the dark room of the prefectural government.
I don’t know if this dark room is used to lock people up. It is bare all around, with only a window at the top for ventilation.
Unless you have the skills to climb walls and fly over rooftops like in TV dramas, it would be extremely difficult to get up there.
Murong Jiaojiao had eaten two pancakes in the morning. After entering the prefectural government, she had spent a lot of energy moving things around and hadn't even had a sip of water.
I was locked up out of the blue, feeling wronged and scared, and my stomach started to growl.
This room is not only dark, but also has surprisingly good sound insulation.
Murong Jiaojiao could only vaguely hear what the people outside were arguing about, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
Speaking of which, the prefectural government is really unreasonable. Even though she is a prisoner, she should be given food to eat.
As for them, there were people coming and going outside, but no one paid any attention to her.
Not to mention food, there is not even any saliva to dribble at.
At this time, Murong Jiaojiao was hiding in the corner of the dark room, feeling extremely regretful. If she had known that this would be the fate of entering the prefectural government, she would never have been brought in even if she was beaten to death.
If she didn't come, she could still get by by doing odd jobs outside. But if she came, she would starve to death in this prefectural government where she had no worries about food and clothing.
God doesn't bless her, it really doesn't bless her.
She spent the whole night in a daze, and when she was taken out the next day, she felt completely dumbfounded.
At this moment, her face was gray and dirty, and her original appearance could not be seen at all.
The bearded man stood impatiently by the side. When he saw Murong Jiaojiao, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he looked so irritable.
Murong Jiaojiao's heart skipped a beat: It's all over, even if I can save my life this time, this bearded man probably won't be able to use me anymore.
As she thought this in her heart, she couldn't help but feel sad again.
"This man is called Aqiao, and he has been following me for several days. It is impossible for him to collude with the robbers." The bearded man suddenly spoke, but he was arguing with the person who was escorting Murong Jiaojiao next to him.
"I say, Lao Liu, you said he has only been following you for a few days, do you know what kind of person he is?
Don't ruin your reputation for a kid. I'll pretend I don't know anything about this, and don't say that you brought him here, okay?
When our master asks me later, I will say that he sneaked in on his own."
The manager standing nearby looked embarrassed and tried to communicate with the bearded Old Liu.
