After traveling through time, I rely on force to survive

Seeing that Zhou Yimo and Li Qingqing seemed to have guessed who it was, Xie Xuanan said, "Please ask him to come in."

Li Qingqing then went to the empty box next door to change clothes.

Not long after, Changshun and Shitou entered the room. When they saw Zhou An, they couldn't wait to ask, "Brother Zhou, have you found Xier?"

"Found it." Zhou Yimo nodded, then looked at Xie Xuanan and introduced him to Changshun and Shitou: "This is—"

"Mr. Xie." Xie Xuan'an took over the conversation.

When Changshun and Shitou heard this and saw Xie Xuan'an dressed like a young man in brocade clothes, they knew that he was of extraordinary status and quickly bowed.

Although it's not very standard, it looks pretty good. I guess he has learned a lot from running around outside these days.

Zhou Yimo glanced at Xie Xuan'an, thinking that he would definitely not want to reveal his identity to anyone, so he said nothing more.

Zhou Yimo went to the window and looked out. It was still dark, with the dawn still fading. He asked Changshun and Shitou, "Why are you here?"

"We heard Dashuang say that Sister Qingqing would come to Zuiyuexuan Restaurant to look for you, so we came here to try our luck," Changshun said.

"We could have arrived earlier, but the officers and soldiers in Qiushui Town were very strict today. We lied and said we were here to shop, but after a long interrogation, they finally let us in. It's really strange. They checked the oxcarts coming in and out even more strictly, checking them back and forth several times."

"Have you heard the reason?" Li Qingqing changed her clothes and walked in and asked.

Changshun turned around and saw that it was Li Qingqing, and quickly replied:

"Sister Qingqing, at first I mistakenly thought this was related to Xier, but after some inquiries, I learned that it was a burglary at Mr. Liu's house. Shitou and I also saw Mr. Liu and an official standing together, talking in low voices, but I can't quite recall the details."

When Li Qingqing heard this, she quickly glanced at Xie Xuan'an, a hint of ambiguous expression flashed across her eyes, and then she started thinking quickly.

When she rescued Xier and Qiuqiao, she also took away all the weapons in the room. It is very likely that Mr. Liu already knew that the weapons were missing, which is why he checked the ox carts passing by.

In comparison, the disappearance of Xier and Qiu Qiao did not attract much attention. After all, dozens of guards disappeared with Xier and Qiu Qiao.

Therefore, it should be safe for the time being to bring Xier and Qiuqiao back to Lihua Village.

As for the account books, Mr. Liu should not have discovered the clues so quickly, otherwise, he should have immediately sent people to search for the whereabouts of County Magistrate Xie to force him to hand over the account books, instead of first using Governor Qian's officers and soldiers to check the passing ox carts.

I just don't know what reasons Liu Yuanwai used to convince Governor Qian, and what kind of deal was there between the two?

But it was only a matter of time before he discovered that the account books had been stolen.

Now Xie Xuanan must be sent to the Yuntai County Government Office immediately.

No matter how arrogant Mr. Liu was, he would never lead his men to Yuntai County. Otherwise, it would be considered as murdering an imperial official and rebellion. Xie Xuan'an had every reason to dispatch troops stationed in Yuntai County to suppress the rebellion.

Only after settling County Magistrate Xie could she find an opportunity to deal with Mr. Liu.

If Bai Ye was there to help Liu Yuanwai while she was dealing with him, with it being a one on two situation, what would her chances of winning be?

Or after County Magistrate Xie returned to Yuntai County, he immediately sent troops to capture Mr. Liu. Would Governor Qian provide shelter for Mr. Liu?

Li Qingqing was thinking about every possibility.

When Xie Xuan'an heard what Changshun said, he also lowered his eyes and thought.

Governor Qian did not understand Xie Xuan'an, but he understood Governor Qian. Mr. Liu must have been tempting him with high profits.

Mr. Liu is very wealthy. If he is allowed to develop, he will definitely eventually get close to the prince and become a great help to him.

Now that he has the account book evidence of Mr. Liu's crime, he can immediately dispatch personnel to bring Mr. Liu to justice.

But now, his guards and shadow guards had all been killed. If he wanted to send troops, he had to return to Yuntai County first.

Governor Qian only takes orders from the deputy commander, who is the prince's man.

Governor Qian doesn't care whether he is the Second Young Master Xie or the County Magistrate Xie. Governor Qian only cares about people who can bring him benefits.

Therefore, if Li Qingqing was allowed to escort him back, no matter how good her martial arts were, she would not be able to resist the large number of soldiers under Governor Qian. In the end, not only would Li Qingqing die tragically, but her family would also be implicated.

The more Xie Xuan'an thought about it, the more frightened he became. He was already in a dead end.

Now he has... no way out!

Zhou Yimo glanced at Li Qingqing, then at Xie Xuanan.

His deep eyes revealed a serious expression. Knowing that there were still some things to discuss, he said to Changshun and Shitou, "You two should follow Shopkeeper Qi and go downstairs to rest first. We will go home later."

Changshun and Shitou looked at each other, as if they felt the subtle change in the atmosphere in the room, but they didn't dare to ask more questions. They responded and left, and were arranged by Manager Qi to rest.

After Changshun and Shitou left, Zhou Yimo said in a deep voice, "Mr. Liu and Governor Qian have teamed up. Young Master Xie, make your decision quickly."

Xie Xuanan heard this and thought: What else can he decide? He can't go anywhere!

It was obvious that he would not be able to escape today.

I regret getting involved in a field that I am not good at. This is the worst move I have ever made, and it is a dead end with no solution!

After figuring this out, Xie Xuanan raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yimo, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"I was so careless. I didn't expect that I would be forced into a corner by a wealthy man."

Think about the second son of Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, Xie. Although he has a reputation as a playboy, he has always acted cautiously and has never put himself in danger.

Only the disappearance of the third prince Mu Yunjing made him very upset, so he hurried to Yuntai County, causing difficulties everywhere.

One wrong step, one wrong step!

Li Qingqing glanced at Zhou Yimo, then turned her gaze to Xie Xuanan and said decisively, "Young Master Xie, we will set off immediately and head to Yuntai County."

Immediately, immediately, otherwise if someone came to search the restaurant and Manager Qi had a conflict with them, he would be exposed even more.

But Xie Xuan'an shook his head, he had made up his mind.

He had promised Li Qingqing that he would not implicate her family. He was a gentleman, and how could a gentleman go back on his word?

If we go to Yuntai County at this time, a fight is inevitable, and naturally we cannot let Li Qingqing be involved in the fight with the officers and soldiers.

When Xie Xuan'an thought about this, the corners of his mouth rose, and a faint smile appeared in his narrow peach blossom eyes. If you didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find that there was a hint of determination hidden in them.

He then took off a belt from his waist, handed it to Zhou An, and said:

"Brother Zhou, this item will allow you to smoothly take over all my businesses and properties. Shopkeeper Qi is a trusted confidant of mine, and I will have him compile a detailed handover list later. Also, I previously mentioned your position as county magistrate to Brother Yunjing. After you pass the imperial examination, if you are willing to stay in Yuntai County, he will make arrangements for you."

Zhou An was puzzled. He and Li Qingqing looked at each other and didn't understand why Xie Xuan'an said this.

Shouldn't we leave Zuiyuexuan as soon as possible?
