After arriving at the porridge shop, Chai Zhanwen saw that the unknown ancient book was still placed on the dining table. It could be seen that no one had touched it.
Chai Zhanwen walked over and picked up the ancient book, intending to keep it well.
Ari stood beside Chai Zhanwen.
He bowed and said to Chai Zhanwen: "Sir, do you still want to drink porridge? How about I help you fill a bowl again?"
Chai Zhanwen just waved his hand.
At this time, Xiao Lujun also came to the porridge shop.
In fact, she had been here before. Xiao Lujun said, "Now, would you like to hear what I have to say?"
Chai Zhanwen didn't know what he should do next, so he sat on the previous chair.
Then he looked at Xiao Lujun who was standing not far away and asked, "What exactly do you want to say? If it's about something in your family, I may not be able to help you."
"What I want to say is not about myself."
Xiao Lujun walked to and stood next to Chai Zhanwen.
Ari would feel that what happened next had nothing to do with him, so he bowed his hands to the two of them.
"Don't leave yet." Xiao Lujun said to Ari, "This matter will also be related to you."
Although Ari seemed a little hesitant, he still did not move.
"Actually, a few of us can go catch the thieves who appear near the county government office." Xiao Lujun decided to speak bluntly.
However, after hearing what Xiao Lujun said, neither Chai Zhanwen nor Ari made any statements.
Ari would think Xiao Lujun's proposal was unrealistic.
Chai Zhanwen's idea was that Xiao Lujun was out of his mind.
And they all planned to believe what Xiao Lujun said.
Not getting any response, Xiao Lujun pursed her lips, and then she continued: "I know where those two groups of thieves are hiding now."
"Since you know it, why didn't you tell the county magistrate this morning? Didn't the county magistrate just go to arrest them?"
Ari found it difficult to explain at all.
Moreover, Ari knew that Xiao Lujun rarely left the county government office, so how did Xiao Lujun know?
Unless Xiao Lujun knew the leaders of the two groups, how could he explain it?
In fact, Chai Zhanwen was also aware of what Ari thought, so he also didn't believe what Xiao Lujun said.
Because of this, both Chai Zhanwen and Ari had a cold attitude towards this.
"Why don't you believe what I say? I also told Uncle Xiao this morning, but he doesn't believe what I say just like you."
"Let me ask you... how many people are there in those two groups of thieves?"
Chai Zhanwen wanted to know how much Xiao Lujun knew. If Xiao Lujun couldn't tell anything, then it would be a lie.
Chai Zhanwen used a gesture to indicate that Xiao Lujun could sit down and speak slowly.
After seeing Xiao Lujun sitting opposite Chai Zhanwen, Ari felt that he could also sit down and listen.
He would think that if he really caught those two groups, wouldn't it be a meritorious service?
At that time, he can go to the yamen and become a yamen servant, instead of just a waiter in this porridge shop.
Ari's attitude is changing, at least he is becoming serious.
Xiao Lujun saw such a change.
"As far as I know, there are more than ten people in these two groups, but certainly no more than twenty."
Xiao Lujun seemed to have already thought about how to answer.
"You may not believe me when I tell you. In fact, these two groups have appeared near other counties before."
Xiao Lujun looked at the two people's reactions.
"I had heard of them before I came here, but I didn't expect them to work together this time."
Xiao Lujun saw that Chai Zhanwen and Ari were listening to her carefully, and she felt that this was good.
So she continued: "The leaders of these two groups seemed to have known each other before. One of them mainly sells private salt, while the other mainly sells money from those traders."
"Our Wujian County is a place where merchants gather. There are usually many people who come here to do business, so it is not unimaginable that they will come here together this time."
But after saying this, Xiao Lujun still didn't finish his words: "These two leaders are usually extremely cunning and suspicious by nature. They will not easily appear in places they think are dangerous."
"In addition, I heard that they also have people like masters in their camp, who are people who specialize in helping them with advice, in order to avoid being arrested by the government officials. So far, it is still difficult for them to be caught... "
