Chapter 483 484. Theft
Although Jin Qianqian had already prepared herself psychologically, when she saw the increasingly desolate land and the increasingly rough road, her heart tightened.

In order to travel continuously, they often lodge in villages.

Today, when it was dark, they hurried and finally found a village.

The escort in front specially asked someone to come over to remind him, because the road was delayed for some hours, it was too late to close the city gate and advance to the city, so he could only make do with this side tonight.

Since they have never been in contact with this place, they specially greeted them and asked them to raise their spirits and pay attention to themselves.

The convoy entered the village with torches, and immediately there was a barking of dogs.

After some negotiation, the village was willing to vacate a few houses, but it was a pity that there were so few monks and so many monks, it was impossible for so many people to be accommodated, so they could only live in crowded places.

Jin Qianqian and the others were considered to have received special care and were given a small courtyard.

Although it is a single-family courtyard, there are only three houses.

Lichun and the others replaced all the quilts left by the original owner with their own in a very short time.

Lin Dapeng and the others warmed up the kangs in several rooms. Everyone has to make do with it here tonight. Even if they lay on the floor, it is much better than braving the severe cold outside.

Jin Qianqian squeezed into the main house with the child and four maids, and the nanny and mother-in-law occupied another room.

All they left for Lin Dapeng was the largest side room.

However, it is impossible for them all to fall asleep tonight, and they have to arrange people to take turns guarding them, so they barely managed to make it through.

It was a peaceful night, but on the second day, there were shouts and curses from other lodgers, and it turned out that some merchants had lost their goods.

Lichun and the others immediately took an inventory of their belongings and found that nothing was missing, so they breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Guard Lin, take someone to take a look and see what's going on?"

Lin Dapeng made everyone under him raise their spirits, and left with only one guard.

Li Qiu boiled water for washing from the kitchen, "Madam, when you came in yesterday, didn't the head of the bodyguard remind everyone to be more vigilant?

What's the matter with these people? "

Jin Qianqian took the veil, and first woke up Luo Luo who was already sitting on the kang in a daze.

"I don't know what's going on right now, we'll talk about it when Guard Lin and the others come back."

After packing up here, Lin Dapeng came back with his people, "Now the two parties are arguing. The people in the caravan said that something was lost, but the people in the village felt that they were wronged. They obviously took everyone in for a night with good intentions, but they got into trouble. Such trouble.

Now the people of the village are gathered around the front, saying that we are not allowed to leave until this matter has been clarified. "

Jin Qianqian, "Are there a lot of lost things? Are they valuable? Is it possible that they didn't notice when they sorted it out?"

Lin Dapeng, "Now they are also arguing about this issue, and some people have already said that they will report to the authorities."

Jin Qianqian frowned, if it passed through the official, it would have to be delayed again.

"You go to the front to have a look first, and tell the head of the bodyguard by the way, try not to conflict with the locals."

Lin Dapeng naturally knew the seriousness of this matter. If the two sides really had a conflict, as fellow travelers, they would inevitably be angered by the locals.

It is said that strong dragons do not overwhelm local snakes, I hope these caravans will not be stupid.

Lin Dapeng left in a hurry, while Lidong asked worriedly, "Then should we pack our bags?"

Jin Qianqian, "Get things in order first, if you can walk, you won't be in a hurry."

"Yes," seeing that Jin Qianqian was so calm, the others also slowly settled down, and began to busy themselves with their own affairs.

Obviously, they are still too optimistic.

It didn't take long for the news to come. Even if they are relatively resigned now and don't care about the lost things, the villagers in the village will not do it.

I feel that this is an insult to them, and it is also tarnishing the reputation of their village. This matter must be clarified before they are willing to let them go.

Naturally, Jin Qianqian would not let his people get involved, and began to restrict his people to stay in the small courtyard.

Anyway, they carry enough things in the car, so they will treat it as a repair in this place.

I thought I could leave after these people negotiated, but I didn't expect to be involved.

"The county magistrate of Ping County came to visit?" Jin Qianqian wondered if he heard it wrong?
"Ma'am, the villagers here have gone to report to the officials. It is those businessmen who revealed their identity as Madam." Lin Dapeng had been watching coldly from the sidelines, and it was too late to stop her.

Jin Qianqian shook her head, "I'm just a woman in the backyard, I don't know how to judge cases, so what's the use of dragging me in.

Guard Lin went to tell the county magistrate, I am just a woman and child, it is really inconvenient to show my face, please forgive me. "

Standing out at this moment, both parties are not pleasing, she has always disliked asking for trouble.

Fortunately, her temperament is not the kind of jumping off. She took her two children quietly in the car along the way. Many people in the caravan didn't even witness her true face. This kind of rhetoric can be prevaricated. .

Lin Dapeng relayed Jin Qianqian's words in front of the villagers and the caravan.

The local villagers breathed a sigh of relief quietly, it's better not to come forward, otherwise the county magistrate would definitely not defend them.

Some people in the caravan were a little annoyed, obviously they were the ones going all the way, and they didn't give them any face.

Lin Dapeng had been paying attention to the expressions of these people for a long time. For those whose expressions changed suddenly, he secretly remembered that it would be better for these people not to move.

The county magistrate of Ping County also knew that the previous behavior was a bit inappropriate, so he quickly smiled with Lin Dapeng, "Please tell Mrs. Gu again, the lower official wanted to go wrong before, please Mrs. Gu take a rest here , Xiaguan will figure things out very quickly, and will not delay Mrs. Gu's itinerary."

Lin Dapeng clasped his fists, "Thank you, my lord."

"This is all as it should be, as it should be..."

……

The merchant counted all the goods again, and it was indeed missing.

In order to show fairness, the county magistrate also ordered all villagers to cooperate in the search, but nothing was found.

"It's also you who lost your things on the road, and you want to blame us. You can't find the things now, so should you apologize to us?"

"Yes, we just took them in for a night out of kindness, but we didn't expect to be bitten. If we knew this, we might as well drive them out when they enter the village."

"These people are so outrageous, they delayed our farm work for a day, and almost caused us to suffer innocent injustice.

We can't let them go so easily, otherwise who knows if other caravans will do the same next time. "

Those who stole are caught in the entanglement. They didn't find anything here, but they did lose it.
