Hearing the voice outside, the woman with the scar on her face calmed down a bit and asked, "Wu, Brother Wu?"
"It's me, Xiao Mei. Open the door. There's not enough time." Wu Er's voice came from outside.
Liu Mei opened the door and looked at the man outside. She asked in confusion, "What's not enough time?"
"There's not enough time to explain." Wu Er closed the door and said, "Hurry and call the girl out. Those people are coming."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of messy footsteps could be heard.
Liu Mei's expression changed greatly. Wu Er closed the door and grabbed her arm. He said in a low voice, "Let's go. I'll tell you in detail later."
"Search!"
A group of Qin Family guards kicked open the door of the woodshed and searched inside and out. They also looked at the woodpile, water tanks, and other places where people could hide, but they didn't find anything. The leader waved his hand and said, "Search other places!"
Qin Manor, back residence. Wu Er led the two of them through the narrow path between the rock garden and the wall. Liu Mei hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask, "Brother Wu, how did you know …"
"Now is not the time to talk about this." Wu Er quickly said, "They are searching the entire Qin Manor. It's not safe to hide there. I'll take you to a safe place."
Xiao Hong followed and said in a weak voice, "Thank you, big brother."
"No need to thank me." Wu Er smiled and said, "If you want to thank someone, thank Fifth Lord. Otherwise, such a beautiful girl would have been defiled by that beast Qin Yu again."
The three of them were in a deserted garden in the Qin family. The weeds were as tall as a person and they followed the narrow path between the rock garden. They didn't encounter anyone along the way. Somewhere, Wu Er pushed open a small door. After the three of them walked in and closed it from the inside, he let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Okay, we're safe now."
The small door was clearly the back door of a house. Wu Er took the two of them to the front yard. A middle-aged man was already standing there waiting.
Wu Er walked over and said with a smile, "Fifth Lord, I've brought the girl."
Fifth Lord nodded and looked at the girl. "I'm afraid it's not easy to send you out from here. Do you have any family in the capital?"
Xiao Hong thought for a moment and was about to speak. She paused and said after a long time, "Just tell the madam of Jade Courtyard that I'm here and she will know what to do."
Fifth Lord shook his head and said, "If that's all, I'm afraid it won't work. Miss doesn't know where this place is …"
"Open the door, open the door!"
Suddenly, the sound of knocking came from outside the courtyard. The knocking was so forceful that it seemed like the entire door was going to crack.
Qin Clan's Fifth Master glanced at Wu Er, who immediately understood. He walked over and whispered, "Follow me."
The Fifth Master of the Qin family walked to the door and opened it. He asked, "Why did you use so much force?"
"Fifth Lord" The head guard first casually greeted him and said, "A servant girl in the mansion ran away, and now the whole mansion is being searched. Of course, we are not suspecting Fifth Lord, but just doing a routine search. Fifth Lord, you don't mind, right?"
The Fifth Master of the Qin family waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. Be careful and don't break anything."
They swaggered in. The Fifth Master of the Qin family stood in the yard and watched them rummaging in the yard. When they went back into the house, he hurriedly followed them and said, "Be careful. If you break anything, you can't afford to pay for it …"
They didn't dare to be too arrogant. After searching for a while, the leader knocked on a wall on the inside and pushed it hard. He asked, "There won't be a secret door here, right?"
Fifth Master Qin smiled. "How could it be …"
Unable to find anything here, the guard waved his hand. "Let's go to the next place!"
Fifth Master Qin followed them out. After closing the door, he walked back.
He knocked on the wall that the guard had pushed three times, paused for a moment, and then hurriedly knocked three more times. A moment later, a heavy sound came from behind the wall, and the wall slowly turned to an angle.
Wu Er came out from behind the wall, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and complained, "Fifth Master, this wall really needs to be repaired. It's so hard to switch it on and off …"
Fifth Master Qin waved his hand and said, "Sit down and rest for a while."
Wu Er sat down at the table, picked up a teapot, and gulped down a mouthful of tea. Then he asked, "Fifth Master, we saved Miss Hong. What should we do now?"
"It's impossible for us to send her out alone." Fifth Master Qin shook his head, looked at him, and said, "Go find this girl's family and report it to the authorities."
"Ah?" Wu Er was stunned and said, "Report to the authorities? But Fifth Master, this … this is the Qin family! "
"We should have a bottom line." Fifth Master Qin looked at him, shook his head, and said, "What's right is right, and what's wrong is wrong. This has nothing to do with whether I'm a member of the Qin family or not."
"Fifth Master, you …" Wu Er stood up with a solemn expression. He bowed to him and said, "You're really a good person!"
"It's just for justice …"
Wu Er nodded and asked, "Which official should I report to? The capital magistrate or the capital governor?"
Fifth Master Qin looked at him, smiled, and said, "Report whichever one you like. I believe you know what to do."
Wu Er patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Fifth Master. I won't let you down!"
Wu Er strode out. Fifth Master Qin looked at the two of them and said, "I'm afraid you'll have to suffer for a while."
The two women thanked him repeatedly.
Fifth Master Qin looked behind him and saw that the gambling wall was still tilted. He walked over and shook his head, saying, "This Wu Er is always careless and forgets to close it again."
He stretched out a hand and closed the wall until it was seamless. Then he walked over, looked at the two women, smiled, and said, "It's still early. What do you want to drink, tea or something else …"
…
"The county government or the prefecture government …"
On a street somewhere in the capital, Wu Er looked up, murmured, and stepped into a mansion.
He said to the guard at the door, "Find Lord Li."
In the courtyard of the Li Mansion.
Fang Liushi looked at Fang with a regretful expression, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have left …"
Fang squatted on the ground, sighed, and shook his head, saying, "It's not your fault. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hidden it from you …"
Fang Liushi lowered her head and said, "If, if she can come back, you can … do whatever you want."
If he had heard this earlier, he would have been extremely excited, but at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to think about it at all.
"Hey, Fang, long time no see." A figure came in from outside and looked at Fang. He first greeted him with a smile, and then asked, "Is Lord Li here?"
Fang waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Inside."
Hearing the voice outside, Li Yi had already come out. When he saw Wu Er, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to report a case." Wu Er touched his head and said with a smile, "Qin Yu took a girl back. Fifth Master and I secretly saved her. We couldn't send her out, so Fifth Master asked me to come out and report the case."
"Took a girl?"
"Yes." Wu Er nodded and said, "This time the evidence is conclusive. He can't run away. But we still have to go to the Jade Courtyard. The girl said that only the madam of the Jade Courtyard can report the case."
"The madam of the Jade Courtyard!"
Fang's body trembled. He suddenly got up and ran over quickly. He grabbed Wu Er's arm and asked, "What's the name of the girl you mentioned?"
Wu Er scratched his head, "I think, I think her name is Xiaohong …"
The tight string in Fang's heart finally loosened, and he slumped to the ground. When Fang Liushi hurried to help him, he seemed to remember something and asked, "What did you say just now? If Xiaohong can come back …"
Fang Liushi looked puzzled, "What did I say just now?"
