Chapter 231
However, in order to show that she is actually a benevolent and good boss, Li Qing paid and appointed an experienced woman to help Xiao Hong'er.

They are not noble people, and it is normal not to have servants to serve them.

Like Li Qing himself, except for Sanniang who cooks and cleans the room, she washes all the clothes by herself, without using other hands.

Life is like this, she has no need or condition for the time being to open up an independent mansion and raise a staff of servants.

It would be more legitimate to open up the mansion under some name after Yunji finished reading the book.

It is not easy to open up a mansion. Apart from landlords and businessmen, only officials can do this.The salaries of officials are not high these days, and there are many officials who rent houses in Beijing.

What everyone is fighting for is still father, the background of their ancestors, not how much they have earned today, and what they can buy.

Li Qing didn't want to use the name of a businessman to start a mansion, it's better to use the name of an official.Let's wait for a few years and settle down in Shangjing.

Let's say that Yunji and Guan Shangxuan boarded the boat to Huichong County, but they arrived in Huichong County in just one day and one night.

After inquiring, I learned that Fu Guangde had left.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and decided to take a rest in Huichong County for the whole day and buy some small food to eat while they were on the boat.

At night, Yunji and Guan Shangxuan shared a room with two beds. Someone booked the guest house, and there were only a few rooms on the first floor, so they had no choice but to make do with it.

The winter cold has not faded, and the first floor is relatively humid and naturally cold.

Yun Ji tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so did Guan Shangxuan.The two of them didn't want to talk, they just lay on the bed like this.

"Crack~" Suddenly there was a sound of the door opening.

Is it the wind?
When Yunji was about to look up, he suddenly remembered that he had barged in the door backwards.

someone!
The alarm bells rang out for the two children.

It was too late to turn on the lights, and the room was dark, Yun Ji quickly got out of bed before the man groped to the bed.

Guan Shangxuan lay on the bed and did not dare to move.Until Yunji pulled his arm.He was startled at first, but then felt that the touch was familiar, and immediately pretended to turn over, and even babbled a few times.

Just as the man opened the door, Guan Shangxuan's raving made him dare not move for the time being.

This undoubtedly bought time for the two children. The furnishings in the room were clearly seen by Yun Ji during the day.He pulled Guan Shangxuan and rolled under the bed.

Not long after getting out of bed, the person who entered the room opened the fire folder, revealing a trace of light.

The two children hid under the bed, covered their mouths, held their breath, and tried to huddle their bodies into a ball without losing the state of being ready for battle at any time.

None of them forgot that they have martial arts.

When the light draws near, it casts shadows on the ground.

There were more than one, but two of them were burly and heavy-footed, with knives hanging from their waists.

Because it was under the bed, the face of the visitor could not be seen clearly.

"Jiangyang Thief." Guan Shangxuan wrote four words on the cloud and the palm of his hand.

It turned out to be these villains.

The most vicious of thieves in this world is Jiangyang Bandit.Yun Ji couldn't figure it out, how could his group be targeted by Jiang Yang's bandits, since they were not wearing silk or Zhu Yingbao ornaments?

"Brother, I don't see anyone. The bed is still hot. I'm afraid they found us, so they ran away in a hurry." Thief B stabbed Yun Ji at the bed where he had slept just now, but he didn't hear the expected stabbing and frightened cries. Shouting, he opened the fire folder, pulled back the quilt and saw that there was nothing inside except a pillow.

"Impossible, even if you escape, you won't be able to escape." Bandit A said very firmly.

Suddenly, the fire was almost extinguished by the wind outside the window. Bandit B said, "It must have escaped through the window. Who leaked the news?"

"Chase!"

Bandit A didn't say much, and went out of the window with a knife in hand.

Yunji and Shangxuan witnessed the arrogant and foolish behavior of the two Jiangyang thieves, and there was a pool of water outside the window.

Before Thief B could act, he heard a plop.The splash of water in the darkness was four feet high, he hastily lit the candle on the table, and the room was lit up.He ran to the window with a candle in his hand, and whispered, "Brother, brother!"

Brother can't swim!
Just when Thief B wanted to save his elder brother, his head felt numb at first, then a dull pain in an instant, and he became dizzy the next moment.Guan Shangxuan held a wooden stool with both hands, panting heavily.

"do you died?"

Yunji had already lit the oil lamp, and the candle in Thief B's ​​hand was thrown out of the window by Guan Shangxuan just now, and fell into the pool.

Guan Shangxuan shook his head, but he didn't dare to look forward.Yun Ji picked up the teacup on the table and slammed it vigorously, Wu Ding from the next door came to hear the sound, so did the woman, the servant and the waiter from the inn.

"What's the matter?" Wu Ding came hurriedly, and what caught his eyes was the thief B who was lying on the ground, and the two children standing beside him who looked panic-stricken. "Is there any injury?" Wu Ding asked.

The two children were taken aback for a moment, then slowly shook their heads.

The waiter at the shop knew that he was not a good person when he saw the man lying on the ground. He looked at the two customers.The inn actually had such a person mixed in, but luckily the guests were just a little frightened.

"They came in to kill us." Guan Shangxuan dropped the stool in his hand, pointed out the window with trembling fingers, Yunji took his arm, and took his place and said, "There is another one in the water outside. They thought we ran through the window and wanted to chase us, they didn't realize there was a pool outside."

Wu Ding pointed to the man on the ground like a pool of mud and said to the waiter, "Go and see if the man is dead? And hurry up and take someone to pick it up from the pond."

Only then did the waiter come to his senses, and hurried forward to check, only to find that the man was still alive, but he was knocked unconscious.

"Wang Po, go to report to the officials, alley, non-stop to report to Lady Li." After all, Wu Ding has seen some people in the world, so he quickly directed this group of frightened people to act.

Watching the waiter take the rope and tie up the people on the ground, Wu Ding took the two children to his room, "Don't be afraid, we are here, don't be afraid!"

The two children sat on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, and felt a little warmth.

"How did they get in? Didn't they lock the door at night?" Wu Ding asked carefully, for fear of irritating the two children.Although they are accompanied by martial arts, they have not experienced actual combat after all. It is normal to be afraid when encountering a real gangster with a knife for the first time.

Yun Ji remained silent, after Guan Shangxuan stabilized himself, he said slowly: "The one who picked the lock came in, fortunately we were not asleep, we were hiding under the bed at that time, they thought we ran away from the window, one of them couldn't wait Jumped out and fell into the water." Yun Ji was silent, then asked again: "Are you dead?"

Wu Ding replied: "Not dead, the pool was just submerged up to the neck, and crawled out."

"Pfft~" Yun Ji chuckled. "As long as no one dies, then according to Tianqi's law, we will be fine. Fortunately, they are stupid."
