Chapter 654

"I'll hit him!"

As if the bad guy was in front of him, the tiger said, let go of Xia Xi and made a few strokes.

Xia Xi looks at Qi'er. Without waiting for her to ask, Qi'er answers, "I'll shout first. If no one helps me, I'll try to escape."

"And Eun?"

Eun scratched his head, simple and honest smile, "I'm so big, there should be no bad guys to catch me?"

You Hua whispered, "my cousin said if."

"I'll hit him like tiger."

"I'll shout."

You Hua added, when Xia Xi looked at her, her body unconsciously leaned toward the tiger.

"Your methods are good, but there is one thing to remember. If you really meet bad people, the most important thing is to protect yourself first."

"I see."

The four children responded with one voice.

Xia Xi turns to the eaves, leans on the wall, holds her arms, and watches them finish their practice. Taking advantage of the washing time of several people, she also tidies up.

After breakfast and sending them to school, he went straight to the Yamen to find Meng Lin.

Meng Lin got a letter from the clerk sent by boss Huo yesterday. He kept questioning Zhang Gen until dark, and then he rushed back to the city with several yamen servants.

"Lady Xia, we interrogated for a long time, but we didn't find out anything. Maybe Zhang Gen didn't know."

"When did you come back?"

"It's almost dark. When we come back, the gates are closed."

Thinking of the letter with fuzzy handwriting, Xia Xi's eyes narrowed, "thank you, Meng yamou."

"So we're here today?"

"If it's OK, you can go to Weijia village with me."

Of course, Meng Lin has nothing to do. Even if he has something to do, he says that he has nothing to do. Today he helped lady Xia, but he still doesn't know how much light he can get.

He called several yamen servants of yesterday, followed Xia Xi to Weijia village in the envious eyes of other yamen servants.

Today, the village head let the people in the workshop start work.

We have been delayed for two days. We can't delay them any more.

Seeing that Meng Lin came again, the village head was grateful and wanted to kowtow to him. "Constable Meng, I remember your kindness in my heart. When the child finds it, we will thank him again."

"No, No."

Meng Lin didn't dare to show Xia Xi's identity. He couldn't say that they came here for her, so he gave all the credit to the county magistrate. He said with high sounding, "the LORD said that this case is very bad. He ordered us to catch the people behind the scenes and get rid of the harm for the people!"

Just then, a villager came in a hurry, shouting from a distance, "village head, the peddler has sent a message again."

"Bring it here!"

The villagers came over sweating and handed the letter to him. The village head took it and couldn't wait to spread it. His face turned white.

"He asked them to give the money to the merchant."

"What?"

Meng Lin took the letter, read it carefully, and asked the villagers, "where's the peddler?"

The villager turned and pointed, "there it is."

Meng Lin waved, "go and bring him here!"

Two yamen servants went forward and could not help but yell at the peddler.

There was no blood on the merchant's face. When he came to the crowd, he threw the burden on the ground, and the people squatted down with him. He didn't care about what fell out of it. He howled, "I've been dead for eight generations. How can I have such a thing?"

"Get up!"

Meng Lin kicked him. He has seen many people like this. If you want to play tricks under his nose, don't think about it.

Instead of getting up, the peddler sat on the ground and hugged Meng Lin's thigh. "Officer, help me, help me!"

"Be honest!"

Meng Lin yelled at him and pulled his leg back.

The peddler hugged him and said, "officer, you can't help me. You have to help me."

"Let go!"

Meng Lin drank again and saw that he was still holding on. He pulled out his big knife.

The peddler just started and stepped back quickly.

Meng Lin pointed the knife at him, "I ask you, where's the child? Who is your partner? "

There was no blood on the merchant's face, and he looked at him in horror, "officer, officer, I, I am a seller, where, where do I have an accomplice?"

"Don't give me that. You're a salesman. Will you deliver the letter for the kidnapper?"

"I do sell."

Fearing that Meng Lin didn't believe it, the peddler said, "I not only sent the letter today, but also yesterday."

"That's you!"

Meng Lin put the knife on his neck and yelled, "where is the child?"

The peddler shivered and hit his neck against the point of the knife. A stabbing pain came and made him turn over his eyes. He fell back and fell on his back.

Menglin wants to ask again, Xia Xi stopped him, "Mengya head, you are a little calm, we ask clear again."

Meng Lin holds his feet. Xia Xi indicates to the villagers on one side to help the peddler up and squat in front of him, "tell me, what's the matter?"

The merchant trembled and reached for his neck, touched his blood, turned his eyes, and was about to faint. Xia Xi's cold voice rang out in front of him, "you'd better make it clear, or you'll be in prison when you wake up."

The peddler held on and didn't faint. His voice trembled. "I, I and I were scared yesterday. Today and today, I didn't go to the eagle mouth. Who, who knows, the man came to me and asked me to send the letter, return it, say it and get the silver. Let me not, don't be greedy, send it to a stone or a stone in the eagle mouth, such as, if silver They will pay me if there is no less money. For example, if there is less money, it will kill me. "

Finish saying, the body shook into a ball.

Meng Lin wants to ask again. Xia Xi takes a look at him. Meng Lin swallows his words.

"How much silver do they want?"

Xia Xi asked.

The peddler was shocked. He looked at Meng Lin's sword all the time. "I, I don't know. He, they didn't say."

"OK, I'll give you the bank note."

"Lady Xia."

Two voices of disapproval rang out one after another. One was Meng Lin's and the other was the village head's. Xia Xi waved, "five hundred taels of silver is a drop in the bucket for me. It's like I'm helping the poor."

Then he took out the bank notes, counted out five, let the merchant see clearly, and then put them in his hand, "don't ask for the goods, go to deliver the bank notes first. It's been a few days. I'm scared of the kids. "

The merchant clenched the bank note tightly and stood up shivering, shaking his legs to go.

"Wait a minute."

Xia Xi called him and told a villager, "go to the greenhouse and ask the coachman to drive the carriage."

The villagers fly away, and soon the coachman comes with the carriage. Xia Xi asks the freight man to sit on it and tells the coachman, "stop near eagle's mouth and let him go by himself."

Although it was dark last night, Xia Xi had a clear view of the terrain near the eagle's mouth. Except for the mountain, it was very open and could not hide people.
