The waiter put the things into the room and exited in a polite manner. Liu Qingcao sat on the stool and looked through the things he bought on the street in boredom.

Although these things are not very valuable, they are things that can only be produced by the sea, such as coconuts, sea vegetables, various types of crabs and shrimps, etc.

After leaving Hai Town and returning to Shihe Village, you really can't see any of these things.

She planned to buy more of these seafood. When she arrived in Haizhou Fucheng, she would buy some fresh seafood and put them in the space, and raise some of them inside.

With the spiritual spring water, it is not difficult to feed these seafood. The difficulty lies in digging the seawall by yourself.

A person has to be split into several parts, which is not a good feeling.

But for the sake of delicious food, Liu Qingcao could only accept her fate and enter the space. She found a hoe and shovel in the thatched shed and started working hard.

At night, Liu Qingcao came out of the room after washing up. Not long after, there was a fierce knock on the door, as if the door was being hammered to pieces.

Under unknown circumstances, she did not open the door. Instead, she sat quietly on a stool and drank juice. She waited for the sound of voices outside the door before slowly walking over.

The person who came here was an official, and he said he was doing ward rounds, but in fact he was using his power to make money.

Liu Qingcao thought that most of these people came to the door because of matters related to the grocery store, but why they came to check at night instead of during the day, the twists and turns can be figured out without thinking too much.

As soon as the door opened, the officer outside the door rushed in with a knife and rummaged around the room without even taking a second look at the willow grass beside the door.

Liu Qingcao looked at the officers' actions with a dark face and did not say anything to stop her. She knew that if she spoke out at this time, these officers would definitely vent their anger on her.

There are a lot of things in her space, but this is an inn, and she doesn't want to cause more trouble.

But Liu Qingcao didn't look for trouble, and the officials didn't intend to let her go.

"Come here." After a leader-looking official searched the room, he couldn't help but feel angry when he saw that he didn't find what he was looking for. He pointed at Liu Qingcao and ordered loudly.

Liu Qingcao twitched the corner of his mouth and stood still, looking at the leader as if he were looking at a dead person.

The officers who were searching heard the sound and turned around, looking at the motionless people on the opposite side, a little stunned.

They have never seen a little girl dare not listen to the leader, and this is the first one.

Liu Qingcao's frightening eyes made the leading officer feel in danger, but there were his men beside him. If he took back his words now, where would he put his face? How would he care about the group of people in his hands in the future.

"What are you doing here in a daze? Why don't you bring them over to me!"

The officer did not stand stupidly, picked up the thing and walked towards Liu Qingcao, sighing secretly in his heart, this little girl has offended the leader, I am afraid she will suffer for a while.

The leader looked at the actions of the few people with satisfaction. Thinking of the look in the girl's eyes just now, anger emerged again.

It was late at night, and the superiors sent them out to search. Not to mention that a good night's sleep was wasted again, and no suspicious person was found.

If he couldn't find it tonight, none of them would have anything to eat, but thinking of the scene in the grocery store, he had other plans.

The leader looked at Liu Qingcao sternly. If no suspicious person could be found, he wouldn't mind letting her be a scapegoat.

Liu Qingcao felt the leader's gaze, glanced at him coolly, and let the officer bring her to the leader without any struggle.

She wanted to see what these people were planning!

Liu Qingcao stood in front of the leading officer, raised her head and looked directly into his eyes, a storm flashed in her black eyes, and she instantly regained her composure.

When the leading officer saw that Liu Qingcao was not afraid, and even had disdain and ridicule in his eyes, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.

He pulled out the black leather whip from his waist and whipped it towards Liu Qingcao.

The four officers on the side were startled by the leader, and regardless of whether others were angry or not, they quickly stepped forward to stop him.

I thought that the leader would just punish him as usual. Even if the master knew about it, it would not affect his reputation. If the whip goes down, they will all be punished tonight.

Liu Qingcao saw the leading officer swinging his whip at her body, so how could she stand stupidly and get whipped.

She dodged and hid towards the door. The whip did not fall on her, but there was a cry of pain in her ears. When she raised her eyes, she saw several officers rubbing their legs or arms and jumping up and down where she left.

"..." Is there anyone who can block the whip?

Liu Qingcao was a little confused by the officer's move. She didn't understand why these people wanted to go up and get a beating.

Is it possible that they are unhappy with the leading officer?

Liu Qingcao shook his head and shook off this thought.

"What are you doing, I can't even teach a girl who doesn't understand the rules?" The leading officer was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, wishing he could whip a few more people.

"Boss, it's not that we don't have the eyesight, it's just that the things assigned by the superiors haven't been completed yet." An officer looked at the lead officer bitterly, for fear of causing the leader's displeasure.

After hearing this, the leader glanced around and walked out the door with his whip in hand. When he passed by Liu Qingcao, he snorted softly.

The leading officer left, and the remaining officers did not stay long. They glanced at Liu Qingcao apologetically and left the room.

Liu Qingcao looked at the backs of the group of officials in front of him, closed the door and lay on the bed.

The leader didn't know who he was offending so late at night, he was so angry.

Liu Qingcao complained while listening to the sounds outside.

At the third watch, Liu Qingcao quietly left the inn. Dressed in black, she followed the group of people in front of her from a distance.

The leading officer in front noticed the person behind him, frowned slightly, paused for a moment, and then returned to normal speed.

Liu Qingcao didn't know that the leading officer had discovered her traces. She carefully avoided the oncoming drunken guests and followed them slowly.

Half an hour later, the leading officer stopped in a ruined temple. The other officers looked at each other, wondering why the leading officer came to this ruined temple today.

"Boss, will anyone come to this place?" The officer's eyelids twitched and he asked bravely.

"Boss, it's weird here. Let's go back." The officer behind the leading officer was timid. Hearing the whirring sound coming from the ruined temple, he was so frightened that his legs weakened and he almost knelt on the ground.

The leading officer looked back at this scene, gritted his teeth, and shouted with a stern face.

"Stand still. If you dare to kneel down with your legs bent, you can go to my house tomorrow. Don't come out and embarrass yourself."

The officer was crying and did not dare to look up at the leading officer. His trembling legs were shaking even more, but he did not bend down.

Liu Qingcao was watching not far away, not moving forward. She now understood the leader's intention.

But even if she knew this person's intention, she would not go out rashly.

She "robbed" the grocery store during the day, and someone searched it at night with precise targeting, as if they knew she was the "robber."

The suspicion lies here. The leading officer knew it was her, but instead of arresting her, he deliberately made trouble for her to follow him.

Could it be that he wanted hush money?

Liu Qingcao felt that this was unlikely. After all, no one saw her taking Haiyan out of the grocery store. If she wanted to blackmail her, there was no evidence of blackmail.

What the hell is that?

Liu Qingcao squatted in the grass and thought about the matter carefully, but she knew that there were too few things to come up with a more convincing result.
