The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

"Someone was waiting outside your yard. How could someone rush into your house to threaten you?" Jiang Muxia frowned and asked in confusion.

"I know. They told us to stay home safely." Lancao said hurriedly, "It was just after 9:00 p.m. and we were all asleep when we suddenly heard the sound of fighting outside the yard. I was worried and quietly got up and looked through the crack in the door. I saw the two yamen runners escorting two people away. We guessed that these two people were the kidnapper's accomplices mentioned by the yamen runners. Later, we thought the matter was over. Just as we were about to go back to rest, the door of my house was kicked open and four or five people rushed in. They looked fierce and had knives in their hands. They gestured and began to threaten us..."

Lancao took a breath and continued, "I thought that since they dared to rush to my house to threaten us, they might find you too. That's why I rushed here overnight and informed you in advance so that you can be prepared."

Jiang Muxia concluded from her burning gaze that she was not lying, and it seemed that the kidnapper's accomplices had already begun to act.

If nothing unexpected happens, the middle-aged couple will be released without charge tomorrow.

The first person they will deal with will definitely be themselves.

However, this silly girl was too brave to come here in the dark at such a great risk.

"You are too reckless. What if you meet these people on the way?" She had a trace of worry in her eyes. "But thank you for coming to tell us. It's getting late. It's not safe on the road. You should stay overnight."

Lancao wanted to refuse, but Jiang Muxia raised her hand to stop her. "I'm worried about you going back alone. If something happens, how can I feel at ease? Also, this matter ends here. If those people come to your house to threaten you again, just go along with them and don't resist. Leave the rest to Tang Juecao."

"Okay." Lancao nodded, "I'll listen to Sister Jiang."

Li Jiyi led the way holding an oil lamp, and the three of them walked towards the backyard. She arranged Lancao to live in the left wing with Ruan Fenfang.

Li Jiyi was worried about her, "What should I do? How about you go back to my house and hide for a few days?"

"It's useless." Jiang Muxia said with a smile: "Brother Jiyi, don't worry about me. You have to get up early tomorrow morning. Go to bed."

"How can I sleep when you are like this?" Li Jiyi frowned, "How about going to your brother for help?"

Jiang Muxia thought about it and said, "Okay, let's go."

The two opened the moon door and entered the tavern.

Ever since the two shops connected by this moon door, it has become more convenient for them to travel between the two shops.

Xu Da lived on the second floor of the tavern. Looking from the backyard, the second floor was pitch black and it seemed that everyone had gone to bed.

The two of them went up to the second floor from the backyard stairs. Jiang Muxia knocked on the door gently and called out, "Brother, are you asleep? I have something to talk to you about. Open the door."

As soon as the words fell, a dim light came on in the room, and a lazy voice came out, "Wait a moment."

Jiang Muxia repeated to him everything Lancao had told her, "Brother, do you have any solution?"

"From what I know, these people are ruthless. If someone tries to stop them, they will definitely retaliate. However..." Xu Da changed the subject and smiled slightly, "There's nothing to be afraid of. With me here, they won't dare to do anything to you."

"Why?" Jiang Muxia asked suspiciously.

Xu Da raised his eyes and smiled, "I have been in Suanzao County for ten years and have made many acquaintances. I also have some understanding of these kidnapping gangs. You are mine, and if they dare to touch you, I will wipe them out."

Li Jiyi mocked jokingly: "I didn't expect you to be so capable. When did my sister become yours? Please don't ruin her reputation."

Xu Da smiled and glanced up at him, "She is my sister, how can she not be mine? Little brother, be more open-minded."

The two men were arguing with each other, neither of them giving in. The usually steady Xu Da now acted like a child who refused to admit defeat.

Jiang Muxia could see that he did it on purpose.

"Alright, both of you." Jiang Muxia interrupted them, "Brother, you are teasing a child. Do you act like an elder brother?"

After saying that, she stood up, picked up the oil lamp and was about to leave, "I feel relieved with your words, brother."

Li Ji saw the situation and stopped arguing. He followed Jiang Muxia back to the house to rest.

The night was dark and a cold wind blew, making a whistling sound.

Not long after the two of them left, a tall and thin figure jumped out of the back door of the tavern and sped away towards the north of the city.

After a brief noise in the tavern, it fell into silence again.

Just after lunch the next day, Tang Zhongbai and his two servants sat down at their old seats in the restaurant with gloomy faces.

He didn't say a word, just sat down and drank one glass after another.

Jiang Muxia found an excuse to call Tang Si to the counter and asked him quietly, "Has the kidnapper been released?"

Tang Si nodded and said angrily, "That couple said in the yamen early in the morning that they knew the kidnapper and that they asked the kidnapper to take the child to the county to play."

He clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the counter, and angrily said, "You didn't see their arrogant expressions when they came out. They shamelessly asked you to apologize to them. What's even more infuriating is that County Magistrate Feng also asked you to mind your own business. It's really unfair."

"Don't blame the Lan family's parents. They were threatened last night, and Lan Cao came to tell me in the middle of the night. You were fooled by these people."

"What?" Tang Si was incredulous. "We caught the person who was spying outside the Lan family's courtyard last night. How could there be another...?"

"You are still too naive. It is obvious that they sent someone to lure you away first, and then sent someone else to take action." Jiang Muxia smiled bitterly, "They have been operating in the county for many years and have deep roots. It is impossible for them to fall into your hands so easily. If your young master wants to make some achievements, he will have to work hard."

As the two chatted, Tang Zhongbai's cheeks flushed from drinking. He staggered to the counter and stared at her with a pair of watery eyes. "You should be careful too. These inhuman people were sent in by you. They will come after you sooner or later."

Jiang Muxia smiled and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry about me. You are from other places and your foundation here is not stable. If you stand out too much, you will be targeted. Be careful."

Jiang Muxia took out a small note from the counter and handed it to him. He took it suspiciously and gently opened the note. There was an address written on it.

"This is...?" Tang Zhongbai asked puzzledly, "West of the city? How do you know..."

"You know? This is their nest. Follow this place and maybe you can find what you want."

Tang Zhongbai put away the note, his face serious, and scanned the restaurant to confirm that there were no diners. Then he said in a tough manner: "You stay in the restaurant and don't run around. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved in this mess."
