After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

Liu Ji's defense value was now at full level, and he continued to study his mutton soup, hoping to save himself from being beaten with a good bowl of soup.

After all, if he hadn't been looking for ingredients, if he hadn't been too curious, if he hadn't sensed something was wrong in time, the lady wouldn't have had to take action.

Examine yourself, he Liu Xiucai Ji is a professional!

The end result is that the mutton soup without seasoning is not very tasty.

Fortunately, Qin Yao still gave him face and drank most of the bowl.

Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief. After finishing the unexpected lunch, Ma Liu took the bowl to the river to clean it, and ordered Song Yu not to interfere, which was a great show.

After the pots and dishes were washed, the three of them set off again.

The sun was already setting in the west, but there was no need to worry about sleeping in the open tonight. Qin Yao was calculating the time and distance in her mind.

According to the current speed, we can arrive near the inn in the evening.

If they were lucky and there were no officials staying at the inn tonight, they would be able to get two safe rooms.

But obviously, since Liu Ji announced an assassination operation at noon today, it is destined that today's trip will not go smoothly.

Less than five hundred meters after the carriage had gone out, a dark red figure suddenly rolled down the hillside on the side of the road.

Yes, get out.

Perhaps because he had exhausted all his strength, he was lying in the path of the carriage, and it took him a while to get up with his upper body supported.

In order not to fall over, Song Yu stopped the carriage in time and looked at the old man beside him in surprise, Master, there is a person blocking us!

Liu Ji: I'm not blind.

Song Yu: .

Do you want to go down and have a look? Song Yu asked worriedly, and asked Qin Yao in the carriage for instructions.

The man looked not in good condition, but he was wearing fine jacquard satin clothes with dark patterns, which showed that his identity was not simple.

Qin Yao stuck her head out and took a look. It was the man who had just been kidnapped and killed by the man in black.

He staggered up from the ground and barely stood in the middle of the road, his eyes fixed on their carriage.

Qin Yao frowned slightly, this was obviously a big trouble, and decisively ordered: Go around.

Her voice was not loud, but not quiet enough for the other party to hear clearly.

The man was obviously stunned for a moment. He probably never thought that he would be disliked like this.

But when I think back to the time when the man in black took poison and committed suicide, this woman showed no signs of any change, and I know that she cannot be treated with common sense.

Song Yu noticed some clues from the eyes of his wife and master. He nodded and obeyed the order to start the carriage again, intending to go around the roadside.

Unexpectedly, when the carriage passed by the man, a broad hand suddenly rested on the shaft of the carriage.

Can you give me a ride? he asked in a deep voice.

What he looked at was not the two men on the car's shaft, but Qin Yao inside the car door.

Qin Yao lowered her eyes and looked at the broad palm on the shaft of the car. It was different from ordinary people. The palm was extra wide and thick, and the fingers were thin and slightly deformed.

Only those who practice martial arts who use weapons all year round have such palms.

Suspicion flashed across Qin Yao's eyes. This person was almost killed by the man in black just now? It shouldn't be.

But what does this have to do with her!

No. She said coldly.

Liu Ji was Qin Yao's number one loser. He immediately pointed at the man's hand on the car's shaft and repeated fiercely: I said no, why don't you let go now!

With a muffled dong sound, the man took out a token and threw it into the carriage with a bit of helplessness.

Qin Yao stepped on it, bent down, picked it up and spread it out. It was a heavy metal token with the four characters Xun Ming Censor engraved on the front.

Oh~, he is actually an official!

Madam, what is it? Be careful not to fall into his hidden weapon. Liu Ji came forward with concern, and when he saw the four big characters on the token, his words of warning stuck in his throat, and his tone changed, Patrol Inspector Censor?!

He hurriedly looked up at Qin Yao, saw her nodding to confirm that the token was correct, and turned back to look at the man who was clinging to the shaft of their car with a pale face, blood stains on his clothes, and disheveled hair.

Liu Ji asked softly in disbelief: Are you the censor?

Seeing the other party nodded solemnly, Liu Ji's heart beat wildly twice, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind - the man in black died because he was bumped into by me. In this calculation, wouldn't it be wrong for me to round up? Didn't you save this official's life?

Seeing the couple fall into silence, the man felt hope rising in his heart.

He let go of the car's shaft, took a small step back, braced himself, cupped his fists and saluted, I'm from the capital city.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I started introducing myself, the woman in the car immediately shouted:

No need to introduce yourself, I don't want to hear or know. Just get in the car and take you to the inn. You can figure out the rest by yourself.

Qin Yao's scalp went numb just thinking about the involvement behind this.

Moreover, this censor also has martial arts skills, which shows that the person who sent him also knew that this trip was dangerous, so he sent such a person.

So, it’s best to just pretend you don’t know anything!

Send the person to the post station and hand it over to the post official, and let them, the officials, handle it themselves.

After giving Liu Ji and Song Yu a wink, they got out of the car and helped the embarrassed censor onto the carriage.

Qin Yao moved to the car door and sat down, leaving the entire car for him to lie down on.

Liu Ji, who had just ignored people's noses, now changed his expression of concern and offered people water and dry food. He also asked people to tell them if they felt uncomfortable that they could slow down the carriage. point.

It wasn't until Liu Ji wanted to secretly inquire why the other party was assassinated that Qin Yao, who had been turning a blind eye, kicked him out of the carriage.

Liu Ji touched his nose angrily and refused to ask. He didn't want to hear it yet.

But they have to leave their names, otherwise where will the censor find a savior to repay his kindness in the future?

How could Qin Yao not see his little calculation? He raised his hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and someone instantly became honest.

The censor ate and drank, then lay down and fell asleep.

Qin Yao stuffed his token back like a hot potato and said, I'll call you when I get to the inn later.

When the sleepy man heard her words, he forced himself to open his eyes again, and said weakly in a somewhat consultative tone:

Madam, you should have noticed that I am also a martial arts practitioner. To tell you the truth, my martial arts skills are actually not bad. The reason why I almost lost my life today is because I am not accustomed to the environment.

It will take a few days for my body to recover, but the assassinations along the way will definitely not stop here.

Sensing Qin Yao's strong intention to cover her mouth, she quickly paused and then continued:

Madam is good at martial arts. I would like to hire her to accompany me to the Kaiyang County Government Office. I wonder if she would be willing to help?

He solemnly promised: I will thank you deeply when the time comes! I will not let trouble find my way to my wife!

Qin Yao narrowed her eyes in surprise. What a coincidence that he also went to Kaiyang County?
