Great mother, who is my father?

Chapter 11

The next day—

Three officials came from the courtyard of Baijia. The leader had a machete on his waist, and the other two had thick wooden sticks on his waist.

"Have you seen any strangers recently?"

The leading official with a machete asked.

Father Bai and Mother Bai shrank their pupils suddenly when they saw the machete pinned to their waists, a bad image flashed in their minds, and they subconsciously took half a step back in fear and shrank their bodies.

The three officials stared at the faces of the father and mother, trying to penetrate the thoughts of the father and mother with their eyes.

"No," Baifu's scalp tingled.

Another machete.

Baijia couldn't help feeling their scalp tingle.

"I heard that four days ago you burned twenty banknotes in denominations of one hundred taels?" The leading official with a machete on his waist suddenly changed the subject.

"Yes," Baifu nodded, and when he thought about it again, he still felt a little pained.

"Has anyone broken into your house recently?" the leading officer asked again.

Baifu shook his head in confusion: "No."

For a moment, I couldn't understand the question asked by the official.

The three officials stared at Baifu's face, carefully observed Baimu, and finally locked their eyes on Baiyan and Baiding.

They feel that the child's psychological defense is the best way to break through.

Seeing that hundreds of people were afraid of the knife at his waist, the officer with the machete put his hand on the handle of the machete at his waist, and asked with a sullen face, "Have any strangers come to your house?"

Baili's eyes flickered slightly, and he closed his eyes, protecting Baiyan and Baiding by his side with each hand.

Six waves of men in black came four days ago, and it seems that none of them survived, and the officials wanted to investigate the disappearance of these people?

"Are you... are you just like that Mr. Wu, and you want to force my sister to be a concubine with them?" Baiyan was so frightened that his teeth trembled, and he still gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you threaten my life, even if you want me to die , I will not agree to let my sister be a concubine!"

The three officials who came here only knew that Mr. Wu gave a sum of 2000 taels that the farmer's family couldn't keep and would endanger their lives. They didn't expect such a thing to happen in the middle, and they couldn't help but look at Baili in surprise.

In addition to being a little dark, her facial features are exquisite, and she also has an aura that a peasant girl doesn't have on her body. The black skin can't hide her complexion, which can be regarded as a beauty that is rare in ten miles and eight villages.

If the three officials realized something, they couldn't help feeling a little pity in their hearts, and their expressions became gentle.

"No, 12 people are missing in the city. We are investigating the case of missing persons," the leading officer said.

The Bai family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that they did not ask Bai Li to be a concubine.

"Is the missing persons case related to us?" Bai Li asked back.

"Let's say it's unrelated... There is also some connection," the leading official decided to show kindness, and said a few more words, "The 12 missing people are all well-known gangsters in the city. After paying 2000 taels of silver bills, I made a plan and planned to go to your house to rob money, and then there was no news."

Bai's father and mother were shocked, stunned, and terrified, and Bai Li decisively showed the same emotion.

"Speaking of which, your act of burning 2000 taels of silver bills... is really annoying. After all, it is money. How can you cough it up...but it's also timely," the leader officer couldn't help sighing, saying: "Now even the people in the city I also know that your family will burn the 2000 taels of silver notes, so that no one will come to your house to rob you again."

When Baimu heard that the whole family had escaped a catastrophe, she couldn't help but shed tears in fear. If it hadn't been for the girl's sudden move, wouldn't their family be...fortunately, ok...

"That is to say, they have nothing to do with you before they arrive at your house," the leading officer dropped this sentence, and left with his servants.

Baili stared blankly at the direction the officials left. At this time, the three officials were no longer in sight, but her mind also flew back to the night four days ago.

Who is the mysterious person helping secretly?
