Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Li Haitang did not trick the official, but he was too simple-minded. She thought she explained clearly enough, but who would have thought that the leader of the official did not understand the meaning well and led a group of people back to the inn.

"Everyone, come out and gather in the backyard!"

As soon as the official leader entered the door, he shouted loudly, "Hurry up, hurry up, this time I will give you time to get dressed. Everyone must go to the backyard. This time, I will give you time to get dressed!"

"You little ladies, you don't have to comb your hair or wash your hands. No one cares about what you look like in the middle of the night. You're not here to see each other. You're all numb!"

After the officer finished speaking, he asked his men to beat the gongs and drums, and those who were about to sleep were all awakened by the sound.

The waiter rubbed his eyes, ran out in a panic, and asked cautiously, "Master, why are you back? Haven't we already searched the inn?"

He doubted whether the shopkeeper had offended an official, otherwise he couldn't have come twice in the middle of the night to cause trouble.

The waiter mentally scolded the shopkeeper for being stingy and incompetent. The shopkeeper was comfortable at home, and they were wandering around. In the end, the damaged items in the inn were still on their heads. What a bad luck!

"Did you see that this lady has lost her valuable jade pendant, and everyone in your inn is suspected, so the lady requests that everyone come out and we want to search you!"

After the official leader finished speaking, he thought he had made a perfect excuse.

Li Haitang:......

She planned to follow the official in each room to find someone, so as not to disturb the people downstairs. Unexpectedly, the official took it upon himself to explain perfectly what it means to be a pig teammate, and also attracted a lot of hatred for her.

The waiter stared at Li Haitang with his small mung bean eyes, and then reluctantly responded.

The jade pendant is lost, do you have to mobilize a large force to pull everyone out? Maybe it was left outside and someone had to take the blame.

The clerk's impression of Li Haitang suddenly dropped to freezing point. He guessed that she must have given the official a favor, otherwise the official would not have been idle, leaving the bandits without investigating, and then killed them.

"Come out, come out, anyone who doesn't comes out is guilty!"

The official didn't realize how hateful his behavior was, so he said to himself, "Can you afford to pay for the jade pendant worth ten thousand taels of silver?"

After saying that, he put his hands on his hips and looked up to the sky laughing.

Li Haitang:......

Is this person sick? If she were asked to find a word to describe official duties, only the word "funny" would be the most suitable.

There were a dozen or so officials left, who were even more excited than taking a chicken blood injection. They also shouted along with the little boss, causing people to gather in the open space.

After a while, many people came out and complained.

"What? We all live in Tongbu and can't even go upstairs. How can we steal something?"

"That's right, we are poor, but we have backbone!"

I heard that it was Li Haitang who lost the jade pendant. Everyone looked at her with unfriendly looks. She was regarded as a suspect, which made everyone feel unhappy.

Li Haitang was speechless and choked up. Very good, he provoked another wave of hatred. Sure enough, good people are hard to do!

After a while, the little dwarf bandit next door also came out and looked at several of them. Everyone pretended not to know each other and stood in a row honestly.

"I remember there are a few female relatives, where are the people?"

The head official took the registration given by the clerk and carefully compared the number of people. He found that two people were missing, a woman and a girl.

"What are you doing? Does it take you a quarter of an hour to get dressed? Do you think you are Mrs. Gaoming?"

The officials would not let anyone go, because the bandits were not necessarily men. When a woman was cruel, not even the ten men could compare to her.

"I'm coming!"

A voice came, and then, a woman helped the girl, and the two of them slowly walked down from the second floor like a master and servant.

Li Haitang looked at the girl and saw a sad look in her eyes. Her whole body was sick, as if she had been hollowed out.

"A jade pendant worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, do you think you..."

After the mother-in-law came down, she asked why, glanced at Li Haitang, and was very angry. She asked for tens of thousands of taels of silver to buy an accessory. Who do you think she was?

She was about to continue, but was stopped by the girl next to her, who nodded apologetically at Li Haitang.

It's normal to feel a little resentful when you torment others at night, but that girl's eyes were clear and her expression was magnanimous. A small gesture made Li Haitang very fond of her.

The official leader laughed twice, and then, starting from the last row, Li Haitang followed him and went through the motions.

She wouldn't know until she left, but she was shocked when she left. There were more people in Tongbu, and the crowds were cluttered. When she walked around, at least five people were stained with blood.

One of the people was a bit suspicious because his arm was wrapped with a bandage. Li Haitang was not sure whether this person was related to the bandits.

"Female guest officer, are you sure that the jade pendant was left in our store?"

The waiter had a calm look on his face. He didn't say anything else. He only had ten thousand taels of silver when he opened his mouth, and he wasn't afraid of the wind flashing his tongue. What if he insisted that it had something to do with the inn? How about a fairy dance?

Especially seeing that Li Haitang and the official seemed to know each other, he became more and more suspicious.

The official search was very perfunctory. Li Haitang walked around and when she met the woman, she took action personally. In the end, she even apologized to her.

Perhaps it was because of her humble attitude that the person who had been cursing just now looked much better.

After walking all around, Li Haitang was shocked. No one expected that there were seven or eight bandits hiding in an ordinary small inn!

His wife is looking for someone, and Xiao Lingchuan is also keeping tight to prevent anyone from making a move. He will save people as soon as possible!

Fortunately, the other party never imagined that Li Haitang could use such a method to distinguish, so there was no movement.

However, it would be very bad if there are pig teammates around.

After listening to Li Haitang's words, the officer immediately shouted, "Third from the left in the front row, second, third, and fourth from the right in the back row, and..."

He was giving orders, but the bandits were surprised. How on earth were they discovered? Because they were dressed as traveling merchants and separated again, they all pretended not to know each other!

Everyone looked at each other, then took out the daggers hidden on their bodies, and quickly formed a circle. One of them quickly picked up the sick girl and put the dagger directly on her neck.

"Miss!"

The mother-in-law was shocked, but then she seemed to understand. Her legs softened, and she fell to her knees with a plop.

The others were quick and dispersed, so the bandits only captured one unlucky one.

"Everyone, stay back, they are bandits!"

Basically, there was no need to say anything. The bandits gathered together and took their seats, while the injured suspect stared blankly at everything in front of him, not knowing what to do.

"And this one, let's arrest him first." Li Haitang pointed to the bandaged hand. He must not let anyone go. Everyone has been offended anyway. Let's find out first.
