Chapter 187 Who are you?
Just as Anyang Hou's men were torturing the man dressed as a waiter, Lin Xi discovered a "tail" following her carriage!
She narrowed her eyes slightly, glanced at her mother who was talking to her with a smile, and said to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, go and deal with the people following behind, and see if you can find out their origins!"
"Okay, Master, leave it to me!"
After Xiaobai finished speaking, he took advantage of Cao's inattention, got out of the carriage, and ran quickly to the back of the carriage.
Several men dressed as servants were in the woods beside the road, following Lin Xi's carriage from a distance. Suddenly, they saw a pure white little wolf blocking their way!
"Humph! Who are you, you thief, to dare to target my master? You must be tired of living!"
Hearing that the little white wolf could actually speak human language, several people widened their eyes in shock, quickly pulled out daggers from their arms, and looked at Xiaobai with vigilance. The leader stared at Xiaobai with forced calmness and said, "Are you a demon?"
He heard from Mr. Jin that when the master was talking to the mysterious man, he mentioned the matter of animals cultivating to become demons.
At that time, he thought that the mysterious man was really a talker, but his master was fooled by that man. They did not dare to disrespect that man, otherwise they would have killed the charlatan long ago. He did not expect that he would actually see a talking animal today!
In other words, everything the mysterious man said was true!
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the angry voice of the little wolf opposite: "You are the monster, your whole family is monsters!"
After cursing, Xiaobai thought to himself: I, your wolf grandpa, am a noble divine beast, okay? How can I be compared to those monsters!
Suddenly its ears moved, someone was approaching!
It snorted coldly and thought: I won't waste my time talking to you.
Then he waved his little paw, and the eyes of the people opposite him became dull, and he walked towards the county town in a daze.
It quietly followed behind several people.
"Why are you back? Didn't I tell you to stay in the jewelry store? Where's Mr. Jin?"
After entering the city, the few people came into a secluded courtyard. A big man with a full beard saw them coming back and scolded them in a low voice.
Seeing that everyone ignored him and looked dazed, the big man realized something was wrong!
At this moment, the gate of the yard suddenly opened automatically without any wind and closed with a clang!
The big man drew out his knife and held it horizontally in front of him. He looked around vigilantly and shouted into the house, "Someone come quickly! There's something fishy going on!"
Hearing his shout, a group of people rushed out of the house!
"Brother, what's wrong? What happened?"
A thin man holding a sword came up to the big man and asked carefully.
"Look at them! Is there something wrong?"
Following the big man's line of sight, the thin man also noticed something strange about several of his companions. They had dull eyes and stood there blankly, like puppets.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in the yard!
"Who are you and why are you here in Linshan County? This county is my territory, I won't allow you to act so recklessly!"
Everyone looked around in panic, but no one was seen.
The bearded man shouted, "Who is playing tricks? Get out here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, fell to his knees, and was seriously injured!
Seeing this scene, the rest of the people were terrified and hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Xiaobai quickly asked what they knew. It turned out that they were ordered by their master to investigate the mother and daughter who had had a dispute with the daughter of Marquis Anyang in the jewelry shop.
In other words, they are targeting the master and the master's mother!
These people were all subordinates of the Minister of Rites. As for why the Minister wanted to investigate Cao's mother and daughter, these people didn't know. They were just following orders.
When Xiaobai learned that these people had killed many people, he showed no mercy and took their lives with a wave of his little claws. He then searched each room and put all the useful things into the space ring that Xiaohong gave him two days ago.
Then he sniffed a sweat towel, remembered the smell, and followed the smell to track down Mr. Jin.
When Xiaobai found him, he was already beaten to death.
Upon learning that the man who captured Mr. Jin was sent by Marquis Anyang to protect his master and his mother, Xiaobai did not show up. After quietly taking Mr. Jin's life, he ran out of the city.
In the end, Anyang Marquis's men were unable to find out who sent these people. They could only write a letter to tell Anyang Marquis that someone here was investigating Cao's mother and daughter, and that they were most likely from the capital, but their specific identities were not found out.
When Lin Xi and Cao returned to Linshan Village, the villagers had already gone home to cook. When the mother and daughter drove the carriage back to the yard, they saw that the tables and chairs had been neatly placed in the open space in front of the yard, the stove had been set up, and there was a lot of chopped firewood not far from the stove.
The washed pots, pans, and utensils have been neatly placed on the table and covered with a sieve. Everything is ready, and we just have to wait for tomorrow’s cooking and feast!
"Fang Ruo, Xi'er, you're back! Come in and have a rest. The villagers have helped to prepare everything. I wanted to invite them to dinner, but everyone refused. I told them to come to the feast tomorrow!"
Lin Dayong was carrying a basin of dirty water to pour out, and he saw Cao and Lin Xi at a glance. He hurriedly went up to the mother and daughter and said with a smile.
After hearing this, Cao smiled and nodded, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the water stains on his chest.
Then he took the basin from his hand and walked into the yard.
"Dad, what delicious food are you making? Why does it smell so good?"
Lin Xi shrugged his nose, smelled the spicy smell coming from the yard, and asked with a smile.
As Lin Dayong led the carriage toward the yard, he replied cheerfully, "Xiao An said he was craving for boiled fish, so he went to the kitchen with his elder and second brothers to make boiled fish!"
The father and daughter walked into the yard while talking. After helping their father unload the carriage and putting it away, Lin Xi's mind flashed and the things she bought today appeared in the yard.
After Cao rinsed the basin clean at the well and put it away, she came over to pack up the things she had bought with Lin Dayong and Lin Xi.
