On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

Chapter 348 Scare
Butler Jia himself is not a serious person, so we cannot expect his thoughts to be serious.

He replaced himself, and the building was almost crooked to death by him.

He stood up suddenly: "Then I will go back first and ask you to send troops to rescue you."

It's impossible to save them. We must send someone to find out secretly.

If these people were ordinary people who looked down on them and had no use for them, then they would definitely send someone to deal with them.

But if...then I can only blame the eldest mistress for her bad luck.

Besides, Li Ji may not be able to come back alive. Even if the Xiao family is dead, no one will stand up for them.

As soon as Butler Jia went out, he saw more than a dozen men coming over with dark faces, staring at him murderously.

Now, Butler Jia believed what the little girl said even more.

He trembled all over, fearing that today next year would be his death anniversary: ​​"I, I..."

These people have been living with Boss Xiao for a while, and their horizons have been broadened by transporting goods back and forth. Now seeing how cowardly he is, they feel that the tasks entrusted to them by Boss are not difficult to handle.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Butler Jia had an idea: "I want to buy some grain. The price is easy to talk about."

"Go away, at this time, the landlord's family has no food left."

When Butler Jia heard these disgusting words, he almost cried with joy.

He was deeply afraid of being suspected, so he asked again meaningfully: "Is it true? Is the price negotiable?"

"If you say no, you won't, so get out of here!"

“Or do you want to stay and fertilize locally?”

On the contrary, Butler Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief and sighed with a gloomy look on his face: "Then let me go and ask somewhere else?"

After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

"Wait a minute," Xu Laosan called to him and stared at his waist with malicious intent: "Now that we are here, we can't leave without leaving anything behind."

Butler Jia followed his eyes and saw that even though he was extremely reluctant to part with him, he still took out his wallet and handed it over in a polite manner. He also said with a smile: "Be careful, please buy some wine."

Xu Laosan poured out all the banknotes and scraps of silver in his wallet and counted them, and looked at him suspiciously: "Why are there only twenty-three taels of silver? With this little money, you go out to buy food? Do you dare to play tricks on us?"

Butler Jia thought to himself: I never thought about using money to buy food.

He also lied straight out of his mouth: "When we came to buy food in the past, we always transported it there first and then paid the bill."

People in Xutian Village who knew his true identity wanted to hear how he made it up.

The man behind said maliciously: "How about we send you some food today?"

Butler Jia was very panicked: they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to occupy their village.

Then he can't lure the wolf into the house.

It's not that he is loyal to the Lord, but he is afraid that Governor Chen will kill him first.

"No, no need." Butler Jia racked his brains and finally found a good excuse: "Our carriage is broken down and it's still parked outside. Wait until I repair the carriage before coming back."

This bandit's den, even if you kill him, he won't come back again.

Fortunately, Mr. Chen thought the food was not good, so he remembered that Zhuangzi raised two cows and wanted the cows to pull grain over, so that he could eat beef.

So they came here in a mule cart.

Xu Laosan and the others didn't really want to keep them, so they let them go happily.

Not far away, the Xiao family's father and daughter watched them leave before looking at each other and smiling. Boss Xiao is still a little worried: "Didn't you say that Governor Chen's Mansion and your mother-in-law brought a lot of guards? If they really come to rescue you, then our people are no match for them?"

Speaking of which, there are now more than 200 people in Zhuangzi.

But excluding the old, young and young women, there are only seventy or eighty young adults who can be used.

If you go up against a guard who knows martial arts, you really have no chance of winning.

Xiao Xiao was very calm: "Dad, don't worry, they are all greedy for life and afraid of death, and they will never act rashly for me."

Boss Xiao sighed: "If I were as powerful as them, I would cherish my life."

Not long after, Xiao Laoer and the steward came back with joy.

Xiao Xiao was also talking about wanting to eat braised fish. After the manager heard this, he thought of a lake not far away, so he tried to catch fish.

Unexpectedly, I was very lucky today and actually caught more than ten fish.

Xiao Xiao pointed to the big silver carp weighing three to four kilograms and had already begun to think about how to eat it: "We will eat steamed fish heads and braised fish cubes tonight."

On the other side, after Butler Jia returned, he hurriedly returned to his life.

Of course he added a little more fuel to the fire.

After Governor Chen heard this, he sent someone to invite his sister.

Mrs. Li frowned after hearing this: "She was also disobedient and insisted on looking for her parents. Now she is being targeted. She deserves it."

She took a deep breath: "We can't take risks for her, so just pretend it's nothing, right?"

After saying that, thinking that his son was kind-hearted, he repeatedly ordered the steward not to spread this matter.

After the steward left, Governor Chen still frowned: "I'm afraid those people have too much appetite and will have evil intentions if they learn about our news from Mrs. Xiao."

Mrs. Li panicked when she heard this: "What should I do? If I had known, I shouldn't have let her go."

Governor Chen thought carefully before he said, "I'll let someone go find out more about it before we talk."

If it was really a mob, then he wanted to take the opportunity to let the guards see blood so that he could better protect himself in the future.

But if the opponent is really a tough nut to crack, he won't be willing to suffer heavy casualties among his men.

Will I have to rely on my bodyguards for my future personal safety?
He also sighed: "I really hope they can decide the winner soon, so that I can find a way to find an official position."

No matter who sits on the throne, he is confident that the emperor can accommodate him.

Now they were fighting back and forth, making me afraid to step forward rashly, for fear of being accidentally hurt.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a while before speaking: "If it is convenient, we still have to rescue the person."

Anyway, just because they have been kidnapped, regardless of whether they have lost their innocence or not, they will be reduced to dust in front of him in the future.

Governor Chen has already begun to think about the situation outside: "Do you think my brother-in-law will be fine?"

"Of course." Mrs. Li has absolute blind trust in her husband: "My husband is highly skilled in martial arts and has great scheming skills. How could something happen to him?"

"Even if all his men are dead, he will definitely be alive."

Governor Chen wanted to roll his eyes, feeling that his question to her was in vain: "Okay, you can go back first."

"Okay." After Mrs. Li stood up, she asked again: "Brother, we don't have much food. Do you want to reduce some expenses?"

She is a housekeeper and attaches great importance to food, and is deeply afraid of going hungry.

But in this village, the land is not suitable for growing staple foods such as rice and noodles. Fruits such as oranges and grapes are the bulk of the crop.

Then they have to plan ahead now.
