Revenge of Rebirth: Beauty scheming

Chapter 267 Catch the Thief
Accompanied by the sound of chaotic footsteps, a group of people swarmed in from the courtyard door.

These people are all in their 30s and [-]s, and they are all dressed as ordinary farmers. In their hands, some are holding hoes, some are holding dung forks, and some are holding poles.

They rushed in aggressively, almost bumping into Zhao Cheng and others in the courtyard.

Both sides were taken aback for a moment.

Then, on the farmer's side, the leader poked forward the pole in his hand and shouted: "Everyone, go! Arrest all these thieves and report to the police!"

Hearing this, Zhao Cheng hurriedly said: "You have misunderstood! We are not thieves!"

"Not a thief? Didn't a thief break into other people's yard in broad daylight?!" The man retorted, and then smashed the pole at Zhao Cheng!

The guard closest to Zhao Cheng raised his hand to block it, but his arm hurt from being hit by the pole.

Zhao Cheng frowned. These people were just ordinary farmers. Although he was the prime minister, he couldn't rely on his power to do anything to ordinary people.

But these people don't listen to his explanation at all, what should we do?
At this moment, another loud noise came from the room behind him.

The leading farmer had a serious look on his face, and said loudly, "There are still people in the house! We can't let them escape!"

As soon as the voice fell, he was about to rush to the other side of the room.

Zhao Cheng's face changed drastically, and he no longer cared so much, and ordered: "Stop them!"

The twenty guards pulled out their sabers at their waists in unison. The gleaming blade caused the farmers to stop in their tracks immediately, showing horror on their faces.

Zhao Cheng snorted coldly, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll make you all die here!"

The few farmers who were closer to the gate backed up in horror, threw the weapons in their hands to the ground, turned around and ran!
Seeing this, Zhao Cheng secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and shouted to the few remaining people who hadn't left yet: "You who are sensible, get out right now!"

It was rare for a farmer to see such a battle in his life, and the rest of them were not so much unwilling to leave, as they were too frightened to leave.

Some people's legs were so weak that they couldn't stand still, so they sat down on the ground.

Zhao Cheng was anxious, turned his head and glanced at the closed door, secretly thought, with such a big commotion outside, the people inside should...

Are you dressed?

He gritted his teeth and ordered, "Throw them out!"

The guards responded in unison and dragged the remaining few out of the courtyard gate.

Just then, there was a sound of hoofbeats.Zhao Cheng looked out and saw two jujube horses galloping forward one after the other.

On the back of the first horse was an acquaintance he had seen many times—the master of Qingyun Pavilion, Li Shen.

As for the person on the back horse, Zhao Cheng knew him very well, Zhao Yuanxiang.

The person driving the horse was Du Ruo, Zhao Yuanxiang and Du Ruo rode together, and together with Xuanyuan Chen's horse, they stopped outside the gate of the courtyard.

Immediately, the three of them strode in.Zhao Yuanxiang looked flustered, and when he saw Zhao Cheng, he asked cryingly, "Father, why are you here?"

Zhao Cheng was startled, and subconsciously glanced at the room behind, and asked, "Why did you and the pavilion master come here?"

Zhao Yuanxiang's face was full of shock, and he said with fear: "My third sister and I met some bad guys. During the confusion, Du Ruo protected me and escaped. Later, I met the pavilion master on the way. I asked the pavilion master for help and returned to the place where the incident happened. Wanting to save the third sister, but found that the third sister has disappeared! We searched all the way, and only now found this place...Father, is the third sister here?"
