Chapter 1052 Let It Go
No matter how powerful the man in black was, he could not withstand Xiao Zhen's five consecutive arrows.
The last two arrows hit the vital area, the chest.
The man in black fell to the ground with a thud and lost consciousness.
"Boss, what kind of hidden weapon is this? It's really powerful." Xiao was envious when he saw it.
It would be safer to jump down from the roof and tie up the man in black first.
"Of course it's a good thing." Xiao Zhen raised the corner of his mouth and put the small crossbow into his sleeve so that it could not be seen.
Xiao was extremely excited, but he couldn't compete with the boss for it. How could he dare?
Xiao Zhen kicked the man in black with his foot.
"Where?"
"There are no marks on this man. He must be a gangster who takes individual orders. Take him to the woodshed and interrogate him." Xiao Yi said as he picked up the man and threw him into the woodshed.
"It's only been a short time since our young lady became the county lady. I don't know who she offended, but they sent people to attack our young lady." Xiao Yi frowned.
"After our young lady became the county lady, she entered the ranks of nobles. It's hard to say who she offended. Recently, it's only the man named Tan and some of the merchants we cooperated with before. They seem to be getting restless and interested in this workshop. Our young lady is so outstanding that many people are jealous of her. No matter whether our young lady has the ability to make money in business or is much better than others in medical skills, fortunately, our young lady is not the kind of person who likes to show off. She has stayed at home recently and has not gone out, which is relatively safe. It seems that we should remind her not to go out recently."
Xiao Zhen was really worried about the young lady's safety and didn't want anything to happen to her.
If you hadn't brought him out of that lowly place at the first time, he wouldn't be able to live such a good life now. At least he would have enough food and clothing, and he wouldn't have to live such a lowly life.
No matter how soundly Gu Yao and Tiantian slept, they were woken up by the sound of fighting outside.
Gu Yao jumped up from the bed, put on a cloak and walked out of the room.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Gu Yao asked seriously.
"A man in black has run to your house, but we haven't found out who it is yet. Miss, please go and have a rest first. You can still have time to come back and ask in person tomorrow morning. It shouldn't be a big deal if it's just one person. Xiao Yi and I can handle it." Xiao Ran saw the worried look on the young lady's face.
I just want him to have a good rest. A girl shouldn't have to endure such worry and fear.
"I know there are men in black in my house, how can I still sleep? Take me to see them!" Gu Yao insisted on seeing which immortal brought the men in black.
Gu Yao was taken to the woodshed, and saw the tied-up man in black: "Wake him up, I want to see who wants me, Gu Yao, dead. I have been working diligently in Jincheng, and I don't want to offend anyone. It seems that this is not possible. If I don't offend others, they will rush to deal with me. It's not easy to be a good person!"
Xiao Yi exposed the man's mouth and poured a basin of cold water on him. The unconscious man in black shook and woke up.
There was no poison in the black-clothed man's mouth, and all the other hidden weapons on him had been taken away by Xiao Yi.
Only after the inspection did they dare let the lady go forward and talk to the man in black.
The man in black saw that the person in front of him was a beautiful girl and said, "Let me go quickly. I am only taking money to help others get rid of disasters. I have no intention of harming anyone. Why are you tying me up? Isn't this a bit too much?"
When Xiao Yi heard this, he stepped forward and kicked the man in black: "You shameless bastard, you came to the county lady's mansion in black, and now you are actually saying that we are going too far, your face is thicker than the city wall plus the corner, and you even poisoned our young lady, even if I kill you now, no one will remember your existence."
Xiao picked up the whip and started whipping the man in black.
Xiao Yi had never seen such a shameless person before, who actually turned the tables on others.
How could the man in black feel comfortable? After a few whips, the man in black became obedient.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I was hired by someone and I came here just to steal something. I didn't intend to kill anyone. Why are you hitting me like this? I didn't take anything." The man in black felt very aggrieved.
Gu Yao's eyes were filled with tears. What could be worth stealing from him?
"Who told you to steal things? And what are you going to steal?" All his good things are in the space.
There was nothing important to be found in any of the rooms.
"Someone found me and told me to come here and steal a prescription. As long as I get the prescription, he would give me 5000 taels of silver. I didn't want to come here to steal, but my brothers haven't had a full meal for a long time. So they sent me here to get the things from the mansion and leave, but I didn't expect to be kept here." The man in black was so aggrieved that he was about to cry.
"Who found you? They were willing to pay you 5000 taels of silver to steal the recipe. What recipe is it?" Gu Yao asked curiously.
He had already figured it out. He probably wanted the recipe for the noodles and vermicelli produced in his workshop.
The people who know best whether his workshop is profitable or not are the merchants who cooperate with him. Gu Yao has no idea whether other people know how much money they actually make.
"I don't know who he is. The man gave us a deposit of 1000 taels of silver with his face covered. I thought that he was so generous, and as long as I helped them get the job done, they would definitely give us the remaining money." The man in black just wanted to make more money. What bad intentions did he have?
"You are really brave. This is the County Lady's Mansion. Don't you know?" Xiao Zhen said.
"I know this is the county lady's residence. I thought the county lady was a young girl and had a better chance of winning, so I came here to get things. I didn't expect that I was overthinking. Please let me go since I didn't succeed. I have elderly and young people to take care of. I have an 80-year-old mother above me and a newborn baby who is crying for food. Please spare my life, county lady!" The man in black was injured but not in any vital parts.
Only then could I stay strong and talk to Gu Yao for such a long time.
"I can let you go, of course, but you have to follow my method. I can guarantee that you can get the remaining 4000 taels of silver smoothly." Gu Yao raised the corners of his mouth.
He just wanted to know who wanted to harm him.
Gu Yao will pay it back tenfold or a hundredfold.
He always tries his best not to provoke others. When he gives face to others, others treat him as a sucker.
