Chapter 363 The blood-stained farmyard
Xiaoyu, Mu Ting and others came in.
Song Jin felt relieved and let the two of them take care of the child.
The man came to the door.
He saw Qin Qi guarding the door with a sword.
Lou Ruhan and others were originally at a disadvantage.
The masked man''s attacks were fierce and methodical, unlike ordinary thieves at all.
Fortunately, not long after, a group of secret guards who were also masked joined in, and they quickly killed more than a dozen thieves together.
After beheading the thief, the secret guard quickly cleaned up the scene and took the thief''s body with him when he left.
Lou Ruhan asked where the secret guard came from.
The secret guard didn''t say anything explicitly, he just asked him to protect his masters.
The moonlight filtered through the sparse clouds and shone on the blood-stained courtyard. The atmosphere afterwards was quite solemn.
Doctor Jing was helping to treat the injured, and Lou Ruhan and his uninjured brother began to fetch water to wash away the blood in the yard.
Song Jin stepped out of the house and happened to see this scene.
Although the situation was critical, these people still swore to protect their three mothers to the death, which made Song Jin feel a ray of warmth in this anxious and frightened night.
"My boss." Lou Ruhan came over.
Song Jin looked around, "Are you injured?"
"I suffered a little skin injury and it was bandaged. It''s not serious. It''s just that the people who came to help us are..." Lou Ruhan didn''t know that there was a secret guard protecting him.
This secret guard is currently under the control of Qin Qilai.
Song Jin knew that Lou Ruhan was not an outsider, so he said: "He is one of his own, sent by my husband to protect us."
"As long as it''s one of your own."
Lou Ruhan finally let go of his hanging heart.
Song Jin asked again: "Are there any casualties?"
"Back to my boss, one person was seriously injured, seven were slightly injured, and no one died." Lou Ruhan thought that if Qin Chi''s people were any slower in taking action, they would probably suffer casualties.
This attack made Lou Ruhan once again feel the gap in combat power, so he decided to train harder in the future and try his best to find ways to improve the brothers'' strength.
Song Jin spoke again, "I will do my best to treat the wounded, and I will bear all the expenses. In addition, each of the brothers in the **** agency will receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver, plus an additional twenty taels for those with minor injuries, and another one hundred taels for serious injuries."
"I thanked my boss on behalf of my brothers."
Lou Ruhan was very happy.
He was busy passing the good news to his brothers.
The injured person was originally depressed, but as soon as he heard that there was a silver reward, the negative emotions were immediately swept away.
Besides, people in the village heard the noise, but no one dared to come out to see what was going on. The sound of fighting told them that thieves had entered the village.
Someone went to report it to the village chief.
The village chief asked his son to watch secretly.
The small farmhouse rented by Song Jin and others was built on the edge of the village. The village chief''s son could only see the light of torches and figures moving around in the distance. He observed it for a long time.
Until the sky turns gray and bright.
The village chief organized a dozen young adults to come over.
Lou Ruhan will handle this matter.
Lou Ruhan said that they met a robber and had a fight in the middle of the night. They fought hard to get injured and beat the robber away.
"Run away? Didn''t you catch one?" The village chief was an old man, looking at Lou Ruhan with suspicion in his eyes.
Lou Ruhan said sincerely: "Everyone really ran away. Seeing that we were outnumbered, the other party retreated without holding on for long. We won''t chase them in the middle of the night." The village chief asked for a while.
When he asked, other people also went to poke their heads into the farmyard, including the temporary tent set up by Lou Ruhan and others. They saw that there were indeed eight or nine injured people, but no thieves or corpses.
A group of villagers believed Lou Ruhan''s story.
When the old village chief learned that no one was killed, he finally let go of his worries. He politely asked Lou Ruhan if he wanted to report to the official. Lou Ruhan said no, saying that they were just passing by and reporting to the official would delay their trip.
After Lou Ruhan sent away the villagers, he came back to discuss the follow-up with Song Jin.
Lou Ruhan said: "What are the boss''s next plans?"
After Song Jin thought deeply, he decided to continue on the road, "It''s not safe here anymore. Those who attacked last night didn''t go back, so they will definitely arrange for more people to investigate. According to the itinerary, the next stop is Huai''an Mansion. We will almost be there in one day''s walk." ”
As long as people arrive in Huai''an Prefecture, it is relatively safer.
In Huai''an Prefecture, there are not only branches of the Song family, but also Song Jin''s own power. In addition, they can also turn to Shun''an Trading Company for help. At the same time, injured people can also get better accommodation.
Xiao Yufei on the side asked, "My boss, it''s not advisable for injured people to travel. Can''t they be placed in the village to recuperate first?"
Not just Xiaoyu.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
My peers and others don’t understand either.
Song Jin could only explain: "It is indeed a good idea to settle in the village to recuperate, but what about the thieves who attacked last night and their accomplices? If we leave by then, you can imagine what will happen to the people left behind. Know."
Hearing this, Xiaoyu and others turned pale.
Suddenly I didn''t dare to say anything more.
Lou Ruhan added: "My boss is right. Those thieves probably have accomplices. More than a dozen people are missing. Spies will definitely be arranged to investigate. Maybe there are informants outside the village now. We were not found by then, so we stayed here to recuperate. People suffer.
It is very possible to be questioned or to vent your anger.
No one questions it anymore.
The group quickly packed up and set off, even vacating a carriage to accommodate the more seriously injured people.
Maybe Song Jin and others were lucky.
The journey to Huai''an Mansion was uneventful.
Lou Ruhan quickly contacted people in Huai''an Mansion to come over and take care of him. Before dark the next day, the group moved into a house.
After placement is complete.
Song Jin wrote a letter and sent it to Shun''an Trading Company. He asked the merchant bank to send the letter to the capital as quickly as possible.
Let people investigate who attacked them.
The secret guard in charge of Qin Qi is already investigating, and the results will be known when they arrive in Huai''an.
"The remnants of the former prince?"
Song Jin thought it was them again and looked up at Qin Qi, "They suddenly attacked me and my children. Did my husband do something else in the capital?"
"Just received the news..."
Qin Qi briefly explained what Qin Chi had done in the capital.
Song Jin''s face was solemn, "Will Huizhou''s parents take action? According to the ruthless style of these people, it is very likely to happen. Do you want to arrange someone to protect them?"
"Madam, the young master has already made arrangements..."
Immediately, Qin Qi told Song Jin that there were personnel left in Qinjiagou to protect Li and the others.
After Qin Chi entered the court as an official, it didn''t take long for him to realize that something was wrong, so he wrote a letter asking Li and Boss Qin to return to Qinjiagou from Hongcun to live there.
There is a training camp hidden in Wuxi Mountain, and manpower can be mobilized at any time.
After hearing what Qin Qi said, Song Jin wrote another letter and sent it to Huangshan to Helian Pu, explaining that they were attacked on the way and expressed concern for the safety of his parents-in-law and Hu Zi.
With this letter, I believe He Lianpu will understand what to do.
Qin Qi arranged for someone to deliver the letter.
