Traveling to ancient times to raise cute kids

They brought ten horses with them on this trip, all of them good horses, including the lady and young master's private horses. If they were all ruined by this packet of medicine, their losses would be too great. Lai Fu was very afraid that the lady would blame him for guarding the stables.

Min Yueqing noticed Lai Fu's nervousness and reassured him, "It's impossible to guard against someone with malicious intent. You can't be entirely blamed for this. Have you found out what kind of medicine it is? Have you sent someone to call a veterinarian?"

Lai Fu was relieved to see that his wife was not angry. He quickly replied, "That man is very stubborn. He kept crying that he was innocent after he was arrested. He said he didn't know anything when asked. San Cai has already found an innkeeper to lead the way to find a veterinarian."

Shi Tou obediently put on thicker clothes as Min Yueqing had instructed, and had already walked to Min Yueqing's side when Min Yueqing asked, "Where are those people?"

Lai Fu said bitterly, "They've all been tied up and locked up right next to the stable. The rest of us are all watching the three of them."

All the servants hated these three men with a vengeance. They had only been out of the capital for a day and this had already happened. Everyone was afraid that the madam would think they were too incompetent, and if they were sent back, they would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Min Yueqing immediately made a decision: "You lead the way, I'll go and meet these people."

Lai Fu hesitated. He felt it was inappropriate to send his delicate wife to meet those scoundrels. Did those people even deserve to be seen by his wife?

Seeing that Lai Fu didn't move, Min Yueqing urged, "What's wrong? Let's go."

Lai Fu hesitated and said, "Madam, those people are very vulgar and might offend your eyes. Let's send them to the county government office first thing tomorrow morning and let the officials interrogate them."

Min Yueqing was both amused and exasperated. Unwilling to argue with him, she put on a stern face and said coldly, "Oh? Did Manager Liu tell you to make this decision?"

Upon hearing these cold words, Lai Fu secretly glanced at Min Yueqing's face and realized for the first time that besides her beauty, her face also held boundless authority. He immediately panicked and repeatedly said, "No, no, I'll take you there right away."

Lai Fu quickly bent down and led the way from the side, not daring to say another word.

He suddenly realized that he had overstepped his bounds. Just because his wife was easygoing and understanding, he dared to question her decision. When Min Yueqing reminded him, Lai Fu broke out in a cold sweat.

Min Yueqing quickly entered the backyard of the inn. When Lai Fu led her past the stable, she stopped for a moment to observe the horses' condition and asked Lai Fu, "Where is that little paper packet?"

Lai Fu immediately replied, "San Cai took it to the veterinarian."

They were all afraid it was poison, so after snatching it from the man, they immediately folded it carefully and asked Sancai to have the veterinarian examine it first, so that the veterinarian would have a clear idea of ​​what kind of medicine to bring.

According to Min Yueqing, the drug that person administered was probably not lethal, because the horses were still in good health.

Since the medicine packet had been taken away and the horse was not in any major danger, Min Yueqing decided to go and meet those bad guys first. She patted Xuanfeng reassuringly and then left the stable.

They walked to the small room next to the stable, and just as Lai Fu had said, the men surrounded the three men and apparently gave them a beating.

The three men on the ground, bound hand and foot, had numerous footprints piled on their clothes, and their faces were covered in a mix of blue, red, and purple marks, making for a rather "good-looking" sight.

Pei Ji stared at the three people on the ground with his big, clear eyes, but still couldn't make out what they looked like. There was no way around it; their faces were all bruised and swollen, making their features too blurry.

Standing on the other side of Min Yueqing, Shi Tou also carefully examined the people on the ground. Unlike Pei Ji, he hesitated, looked up at Min Yueqing, and whispered, "Master, these people... look a bit like those thugs who used to chase me around."

Pei Ji peeked out from in front of Min Yueqing, looking at Shi Tou with a shocked expression, and said, "You've seen these people before? They even hit you?"

Seeing that he had misunderstood, Shi Tou quickly shook his head. "No, I haven't seen these people before. I mean, they reminded me of the thugs and hooligans in the capital."

Pei Ji suddenly realized that he had thought Shi Tou had been to Tongcheng before and had been chased and beaten by these people. After so long, these people had been caught by them again. If that was the case, it would be too much of a coincidence. They could take this opportunity to help Shi Tou get revenge.

Min Yueqing thought that Shi Tou's feeling might be correct, because although these people's faces were not clear, they did have a kind of shady and unsavory temperament.

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper rushed over. Seeing the three people on the ground, he stamped his foot and exclaimed, "What?! It's you again?!"

"Do you know these people?" Min Yueqing asked.

“Everyone in our county knows them, and even if they don’t know them personally, they’ve heard of them,” the shopkeeper said with a miserable expression. “They’re always stealing chickens and dogs or bullying the weak. Going to jail is a common occurrence for them.”

The shopkeeper then turned to the men on the ground and said fiercely, "Why did you suddenly decide to commit evil here? I'll report you to the magistrate this time and have you locked up for several years!"

The men on the ground were probably used to such blustering but cowardly words. Not only were they unmoved, but they also looked at the shopkeeper with longing, as if to say, "Take us to the yamen quickly."

Min Yueqing sneered inwardly and turned to the shopkeeper, saying, "I have a few questions I'd like to ask these people privately."

The innkeeper understood Min Yueqing's implication and realized that she was the one who had suffered the most in this incident. Naturally, he wouldn't let these hooligans off easily. However, he still needed to do business locally and didn't dare to get involved in this mess, so he quickly agreed and left with the inn's staff.

Min Yueqing waved to her employees, "You can all go out now."

The men looked at each other, seemingly wanting to say something, but Lai Fu immediately realized that he didn't want his fellow sufferers to get a taste of their own medicine, so he quickly called them out.

"Didn't you hear what Madam said? Anyway, these people are all tied up tightly, they definitely can't do anything strange. Let's go out and wait, so as not to delay Madam's business."

After hearing Lai Fu's words and glancing at Min Yueqing, the men saw that the madam was indeed serious, and one by one they withdrew. No one dared to go far, so they stood at the door waiting.

Min Yueqing gave Shi Tou a wink, and Shi Tou deftly closed the wooden door.

Min Yueqing kicked the person closest to her, "Who sent you?"

This man had been staring at Min Yueqing ever since she entered the room. When she spoke to him, he thought the beauty would treat him differently. Otherwise, why would she only ask him?

He immediately replied, "My beauty, no one sent us. We all came on our own. If we had known there was such a beauty as you here, we would have come much earlier." As he spoke, he let out a chilling laugh.

The man's lewd appearance enraged Pei Ji and Shi Tou. Pei Ji was about to break free from Min Yueqing's grasp and kick him when Min Yueqing stopped him.

Not only that, Min Yueqing also used her foot to stop the stone from rushing forward, saying, "Calm down, don't make too much noise."

Shi Tou and Pei Ji looked at Min Yueqing in confusion. Why should they be afraid of making too much noise when fighting these thugs?
