Chapter 242: I happened to be at grandma’s house!
After making sure that no one was around, Su Xiaoxia entered the space to find Xiao Luo, and then moved the shopkeeper and waiters out.
The illusion that Xiao Luo gave to these four people just now was that they were being held hostage, and their faces were covered, making it difficult to see clearly the faces of the gangsters.
As for why they appeared in this shabby house, they didn't know. They only knew that they were kidnapped and left the shop, and they didn't know where they went.
Hallucinations always have the effect of confusing reality, so Su Xiaoxia has no worries that they will implicate her in it.
Moreover, she just checked and found that although the shopkeeper's face was covered, he was still awake, but the acupuncture points on his ears were sealed and his mute acupuncture points were also tapped.
In other words, the shopkeeper can't hear or see anything, let alone speak!
She was a little confused just now. She didn't understand why those gangsters only let the shopkeeper cover his face. It turned out that other acupuncture points were tapped.
After Su Xiaoxia put the shopkeeper down, she put a little medicine under the nose of one of the waiters to stimulate the waiter to wake up quickly.
After seeing that the man showed signs of waking up, Su Xiaoxia quickly left the shabby house and then walked through the alley until she left the alley through another entrance.
Because of the gangsters' escape to Baiyuan Town, there are now very few stalls left on the street, and many shops have closed for fear of being affected.
This time, Su Xiaoxia was not in the mood to go shopping, so she turned around and returned to Shangguan Mansion.
At the same time, Shangguan Yan was ordering people to pack their bags.
"Master, Madam Su is back." When Xiao Qi saw Su Xiaoxia, he bent down and followed Guan Yan and said.
Hearing this, Shangguan Yan pushed the wheelchair and turned around, with a smile on his eyebrows, "Mrs. Su, are you back so soon?"
"I just heard outside that a gangster was absconding to Baiyuan Town. Officers and soldiers were searching every house. Many shops were closed, so I just came back."
"That's it! I just heard the servants in the mansion talking about this gangster. I still don't understand why-"
"Young Master..." The concierge hurried over, with panic on his face.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi frowned and said, "What's wrong with you being so reckless?"
The concierge said: "Master, someone from the county government said they want to search our house to see if there are any criminal thieves hiding in our house."
"They didn't even ask, how could our young master take in those gangsters? Our young master is..." Realizing that he almost said something wrong, Xiao Qi changed the subject: "Anyway, go tell them that there is nothing hidden in Shangguan Mansion.
Thief! Let them search other houses!"
When the concierge heard this, he turned around and left.
However, this time Shangguan Yan shouted: "Let them in. Anyway, we will go to Xujia Village with Madam Su later. If they want to search, let them search."
"Yes." The concierge responded.
Xiao Qi was puzzled: "Master, they offended you like this, how could you..."
"Xiao Qi, we are going out now." Shangguan Yan murmured in a low voice.
Hearing this, Xiaoqi suddenly understood and nodded: "I understand."
The words of the master and servant did not avoid Su Xiaoxia.
They thought that Su Xiaoxia would not think of anything, but they did not know that Su Xiaoxia had known Shangguan Yan for a long time, but not so thoroughly.
But in an instant, a group of government officials searched Shangguan Yan's yard.
However, it was Zhang Nan and others who led the search, and Capt. Jin was not there.
When Zhang Nan saw Su Xiaoxia, his pupils shrank, and the suspicion emerged in his eyes again: "Why is it you?! Why are you here?"
The remaining government officials were a little surprised when they saw Su Xiaoxia.
Because they only heard her say that she was from Xujia Village, but they didn't expect that she actually knew someone from a wealthy family in the town, and even appeared in their home by coincidence.
"Masters, we meet again." Su Xiaoxia greeted politely.
Shangguan Yan didn't say anything, his eyes looked back and forth between her, Zhang Nan and the others.
Zui asked for Xiao Qi: "Ms. Su, what's going on? Do you know them?"
"It's a coincidence... just now, I went shopping on the street, and then I entered a jewelry shop..." Su Xiaoxia calmly told what happened just now, and what she said was the same as what she had just said to Jin Datou and others.
People hear exactly the same thing.
After Zhang Nan heard this, he looked at Su Xiaoxia sharply: "Su Xiaoxia, Mrs. Su, why do you know Master Shangguan? I think you are very suspicious."
Su Xiaoxia raised her eyelids and said: "Master, what's suspicious about me? You can't doubt me just because we met by chance, right? I'm a woman, what can I do? Besides, this Baiyuan Town is...
Isn't it normal for us to meet each other at such a big age?"
Several government officials except Zhang Nan nodded, thinking that what she said was reasonable, and she didn't look like a bad person.
They say face comes from the heart. How could she be a bad person if she is so good-looking?
Of course, this is their opinion.
"If I say you're suspicious, I'm suspicious. I'm going to take you back to the Yamen." The more Zhang Nan thought about it, the more wrong he became. With a stern face, he stepped forward and grabbed Su Xiaoxia's arm.
Seeing this, Xiao Qi strode forward, blocked Su Xiaoxia, and faced Zhang Nan: "My lord, are you being so unreasonable? Even if you want to arrest Madam Su to the Yamen, you still need a reason.
And the crime? I want to ask, what is Madam Su’s crime?”
Zhang Nan was at a loss for words, clenched his fists, and said with an unnatural expression: "She just appeared at the shop, and the shopkeeper and clerk, as well as the gangsters, also disappeared. I suspect that she knew the gangsters and deliberately gave us false information.
Clues to help those thieves escape..."
Otherwise, why would there be no trace of them after they left the jewelry store?
Hearing this, Su Xiaoxia said with innocent eyes: "Master, I just said it. Before I fainted, I heard that they were about to kidnap people and leave. I don't know the rest!"
"Who knows if you lied?" Zhang Nan didn't buy it at all.
"..." Su Xiaoxia was speechless. She didn't understand that she and Zhang Nan were just meeting for the first time, so why did this guy insist on staring at her?
Even Capt. Jin couldn't see anything wrong with her, so Zhang Nan wanted to torture her just based on suspicion?
Seeing that Su Xiaoxia was silent, Zhang Nan thought that she had nothing to say because of a guilty conscience, so he ordered: "You two go search the backyard, and you two capture Su Xiaoxia and take her back for interrogation later."
However, before those government officials could take action, Shangguan Yan's voice without any warmth sounded out: "Speaking of which, I am the master of this Shangguan Mansion. You want to search my backyard and seize my benefactor from in front of me."
Do you want to ask me first before your distinguished guest is captured?"
Just at this time, Butler Hao received the news and rushed over.
Looking at the people at war with each other, Butler Hao stepped forward with squinted eyes and a slight smile on his lips, "Did the officials ask the county master for permission before they came to search the Shangguan Mansion?"
Hearing this, the government officials realized something was wrong, but Zhang Nan was absent-minded now and only wanted to catch Su Xiaoxia, so he did not take Butler Hao's words to heart.
