After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 328 Eat the whole melon

"Um, well, how about I ask someone to report this to the nearest government office?"

Su Jinxiao turned around and shouted at Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, which county is this place under the jurisdiction of?"

"Master, this place is on the east side of Xiaoxiangling and is under the jurisdiction of Yian County." Xu Feng replied respectfully.

Lin Shuyue and Su Jinxiao were both stunned when they heard this. It turned out that they had been walking for a day and a half and still hadn't left Yian County.

Xu Feng knew what they were thinking when he saw their expressions, so he explained, "Young Master, Xiaoxiangling is located between Yi'an County and Yaojiang County. The east side of Xiaoxiangling is under the jurisdiction of Yi'an County, while the west side is under the jurisdiction of Yaojiang County."

"but..."

Xu Feng pointed to a large tree standing across the road not far ahead and continued, "Cross that tree and you'll be on the west side of Xiaoxiang Ridge, which will lead you to Yaojiang County."

Now, not only Su Jinxiao and Lin Shuyue, but also Qinghe, Qingzhi, Asheng and others looked at the roadblocking tree with incredible expressions.

"Could it be possible that these bandits came down from the mountains west of Xiaoxiangling? Did they deliberately come to the east to rob?

If that's the case, should we report this to the Yaojiang County authorities or the Yi'an County authorities?"

Lin Shuyue raised a question.

After all, this location is too close to the boundary between the two counties. These bandits might be thinking that if someone reports it to the police, the two sides will definitely have a lawsuit, and the case may end up in nothing.

"Hmm...it's possible."

Su Jinxiao nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly occurred to him. He asked Xu Feng, "Xu Feng, how far is it from here to the county seat of Yaojiang County?"

Xu Feng replied, "Master, it will only take half a day if we take a fast horse."

Su Jinxiao slapped his thigh and said with a grin, "It will take at least a day and a half to get back to Yi'an County from here. How about this, we move the bodies of these bandits to the other side of the tree, and then have Xu Feng ride quickly to Yaojiang County to report to the authorities.

Anyway, the bandits are already dead, and the authorities will probably just send someone to inquire about the cause of the incident and then deal with the bodies. It doesn't matter where they died."

Finally, he looked at Lin Shuyue with a smug look and said, "Young man, what do you think of this idea?"

"This is a great idea..."

What else could Lin Shuyue say? However, this was indeed the most time-saving and labor-saving method at the moment.

"Okay! That's it!"

Su Jinxiao slapped his thigh, turned around and told Xu Feng and Zhu Ying to move the big tree blocking the road first.

After the two carriages had passed, they were asked to bring three guards and drag the bodies of the bandits to the west side of Xiaoxiangling.

After finishing, Xu Feng rode as fast as he could to Yaojiang County, while Lin Shuyue, Su Jinxiao and others continued on their journey.

Now that they have shared the same hardships, the two sides have gradually become familiar with each other.

Su Jinxiao never stopped talking along the way, muttering a few words from time to time through the car window.

Lin Shuyue just treated it as a way to pass the time and occasionally replied to him.

With the attitude of wanting to eat the whole melon, she curiously asked Su Jinxiao about the follow-up of Zhao Xiuer.

When Zhao Xiuer was mentioned, Su Jinxiao scratched his head in embarrassment.

"If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, Master Su, then just pretend I didn't ask. I'm just curious. Please forgive me if I'm offended."

Seeing that he was hesitant and didn't say anything, Lin Shuyue thought that he was unwilling to speak.

"It's not inconvenient." Su Jinxiao waved his hand, "I just feel a little embarrassed. I'm a man, but I was tricked by a woman."

He leaned his head against the window and spoke slowly and listlessly about what was to follow.

That day, after receiving the order, Xu Feng and Zhu Ying quietly followed Zhao Xiuer's mother and found that she entered an inn near the city gate.

Xu Feng and Zhu Ying followed in, found the inn's waiter, gave him a few copper coins, and learned about Zhao Xiu'er and her daughter from him.

It turned out that Zhao Xiuer was not from a village near Yian County, but from Daming Town under the jurisdiction of Luochuan County, Chizhou. Her father, Zhao Daquan, opened a grocery store in the town and was not a gambler as she said.

Five months ago, Zhao Xiuer's father Zhao Daquan met a fur trader. At the fur trader's instigation, he resolutely followed the man to the north to do business. He has not returned since then and there has been no news of him.

Until seven days ago, someone told Zhao Xiuer's mother Sun Guihua that they had seen Zhao Daquan in Liangzhou in the north.

According to the man, he met Zhao Daquan in a restaurant in Qizhou. At that time, Zhao Daquan was wearing a satin robe and was followed by a beautiful woman. He also heard the woman call Zhao Daquan "husband".

When Sun Guihua heard this, she was furious. After finding out the truth carefully, she hurriedly closed the shop and took her daughter to the north to find her husband.

Although Sun Guihua was anxious, she also knew that the journey north was full of dangers, and since they were women, it was even more difficult.

To this end, she took some silver to Luochuan County to find an escort agency. With the agency's arrangement, she got a position in a caravan heading north.

The mother and daughter followed the caravan northward and arrived at Yi'an County, Suzhou a few days ago.

Sun Guihua was a scheming person. Along the way, when people in the caravan spoke to her, she wiped her eyes and shed tears, and spoke softly about her husband who had abandoned his wife and daughter.

The group of grown men in the caravan were moved by her crying and took better care of the mother and daughter.

After entering Yian County and checking into an inn, she cried to the innkeeper. The waiter happened to be next to her and heard it too.

After Xu Feng and Zhu Ying understood the situation, they immediately returned to the restaurant and reported the situation to Su Jinxiao.

Su Jinxiao's face darkened, and he immediately asked Ah Sheng to go down and bring Zhao Xiuer up. He wanted to know why Zhao Xiuer had targeted him. Did he look so easy to fool?

So, this is the scene where Lin Shuyue saw Asheng leading Zhao Xiuer into the restaurant.

After being interrogated and threatened, Zhao Xiuer tearfully told the reason why she plotted against Su Jinxiao.

It turned out that on that day, Sun Guihua took Zhao Xiuer to Luochuan County to find a caravan.

When passing by a restaurant, he happened to see Su Jinxiao, who was wearing a black brocade robe and had an upright figure, coming out of the restaurant. The servant following behind him was holding a food box in his hand.

It was the first time that Zhao Xiuer had seen such an extraordinary man, and she was immediately stunned by his beauty.

I also heard the servants around him constantly praising this noble young man, praising his kindness, and saying that after having a meal at the restaurant, he even packed a few roast chickens for the little beggar in the dilapidated temple.

After hearing this, Zhao Xiuer became even more excited.

Who wouldn't be tempted by such a handsome, dignified, generous and kind-hearted man?

What's more, just looking at the man's temperament, it is obvious that he is either rich or noble.

If she could get close to him, why would she travel thousands of miles north to look for her father?
