The blacksmith shop is large and has a lot of beds. It should be able to accommodate many people, but the family is poor. Not to mention the extra sheets and quilts, even the bed is old and tattered.
Of course, people like Tian Mi couldn't compete with the two Tan family babies. After putting the two of them to sleep, they started a charcoal fire in the house and sat around.
Nothing happened in the first half of the night, and everyone was getting drowsy.
Seeing that it was almost midnight, Tian Mi couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep against the wall. The rest of the entourage was about the same, only Lu Zhishen still had his eyes wide open and took a sip from the bowl of wine in front of him from time to time.
It was pitch black outside, and the dark clouds covered most of the light.
Suddenly, several figures flashed furtively and arrived at the foot of the window outside the door.
Lu Zhishen in the room didn't notice it at first, until he heard someone talking behind the wall, and then he raised his ears and listened carefully.
Someone outside the room could be heard saying: "Brother, let's take action now. I'm afraid it's not good. If it's exposed, we'll be prosecuted."
"Afraid of a bird? There are only two dolls in Tan's shop. If the gang hadn't been nosy during the day, I would have taken them down long ago. Can others snatch the fat meat?" said another voice.
"But..." The other person was still hesitant.
After hearing what he said, the leader said: "If you keep talking nonsense, get out of here. When I get rich in the future, don't follow me!"
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother." When another person heard this, he couldn't resist the temptation and said.
"Just be obedient. Your benefits will be indispensable when things are done."
The leader said, and then said: "Take the things, go to the back and fill them up one by one, and wait for my signal before setting fire to them."
"Okay big brother."
Another person said he was ready, and then suddenly said: "But brother, those people paid money during the day and said they were buying the blacksmith shop. What if they really come back tomorrow?"
"Come back as soon as you come back. By then the place will be burned clean. Will there be any use for birds?"
The leader was not anxious at all and continued: "I understand clearly. They are businessmen. I don't know why they are nosy, but they will not stay long. If they don't take advantage of themselves, they will leave."
"Brother is wise." The other person flattered him and took action.
Lu Zhishen in the room clearly heard the conversation between the two and felt angry.
Unable to hold himself back any longer, he picked up the Zen staff lying next to him and rushed out, shouting: "I asked you two to rub birds and dogs, how dare you set fire to it?"
The two people outside did not expect that there was someone else in the room. When they saw it suddenly, they were so frightened that they did not dare to move.
"The Sa family is asking you a question, speak up!" Lu Zhishen became even angrier and scolded.
Only then did the two of them react, and the leader immediately cursed: "Where did you come from, a bald donkey, and I want you to mind your own business?"
"Okay, okay, the Sa family will let you know who the Sa family is!"
When Lu Zhishen heard this, without saying a word, he stretched out his hand to catch the rogue and teach him a lesson.
But when he saw his big hand reaching out, a cold light flashed in the man's eyes. He took out a short knife from his waist and rushed straight at Lu Zhishen, slashing him with one blow.
Lu Zhishen retracted his hand and breathed out with a Zen staff in his backhand.
The rogue ducked out of the way and was knocked away by his Zen staff. The other person saw it and his eyes were full of horror.
"Ah, don't kill me!"
With a loud yell, he stood up and ran away.
Lu Zhishen took a look and found that there was nowhere for him to walk, so he just touched a rotten wooden board on the ground and raised his leg.
The wooden plank flew out and hit the man's back, knocking him to the ground immediately.
Everyone in the house woke up when they heard the noise. They even rushed out to take a look. When they saw the two people outside, their expressions changed.
Tian Mi asked: "Master Lu, what's going on?"
"These two damned idiots were hiding under the wall to discuss, and they wanted to burn the shop down, not even sparing the two dolls inside!" Lu Zhishen said angrily.
Hearing this, Tian Mi looked shocked, while the others rushed out and restrained the two of them and brought them back.
When he got into the house and looked at these two people, Tian Mi knew that they were the thugs who bullied the Tan brothers and sisters during the day. Unexpectedly, they actually came back to do evil again.
But there was something unclear in his heart, why did this man insist on holding on to the blacksmith shop and not let go.
Rolling his eyes, he asked: "Why did you two set fire to harm others? Didn't I already give you money during the day and settle the matter?"
"Huh, do you care about me? I tell you, if you are wise, let me go immediately and kowtow to me three times. I can still give you a way to survive. Otherwise, you will not be able to leave the boundary of Nanle!" The leader of the rogues road.
Before Tian Mi could say anything, Lu Zhishen, not used to being naughty, reached out and slapped him.
The beating was so hard that stars popped out of the scoundrel's eyes, and half of his face immediately swelled up.
Lu Zhishen scolded: "You are like a dog. If you are not honest, I will chop off the dog's head with one knife!"
The ruffian knew that Lu Zhishen was powerful and did not dare to argue with him.
Tian Milian grabbed Lu Zhishen and then asked: "Tell the truth, there is still a way to survive, otherwise I will take the arson to the government and make you look good!"
"I'm from the Yamen Ding Yasi. How dare you send me to the Yamen to see who looks good!" Roppy shouted.
"Ding Yasi?" Tian Mi frowned when he heard the voice and asked again.
"So this Ding Yasi asked you to come and make trouble for the Tan brothers and sisters. Why does he want a small blacksmith shop?"
"You are asked to take care of that many things? Can you afford the punishment for ruining Ding Yasi's affairs?"
"Not honest yet?" Lu Zhishen saw that the rogue was still not answering properly, so he wanted to take action again.
Tian Mi quickly stopped him and pulled him aside to talk: "I think this matter is not simple. I still want to let the young master know and let him make his decision. How about we escort these two people first and ask one of them to go back to the inn to inform the young master?"
"Why are you afraid of him? It's just a slap in the face, but Sajia will kill him with one punch!" Lu Zhishen said bluntly.
Tian Mi knew Lu Zhishen's temperament, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions.
They also brought with them the looted gold and silver. If they were to miss out, they would not be able to escape even if they were exposed to the light.
The official position of being an escort in the government is not big and does not mean anything, but after all, he is a member of the government and a local coward.
There must be a reason for working so hard to get the blacksmith shop.
At this moment, they couldn't ask the rogue, and they couldn't make a decision at the moment. Only by letting Gao Kan know could they make a decision. There was also an explanation for whether to stay or go.
After thinking about it, he still advised: "Master is a hero. If you don't get to know such a villain, it would be easy to take his life. I'm afraid that there will be complications. It's really called acting. You must let the young master know. It's better to come out of the city first, so as not to worry about it." It’s called being blocked in, but we still have those things with us.”
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he regained his breath, looked back, and hummed: "Then call someone quickly."
Seeing that he agreed, Tian Mi was naturally happy and hurriedly went back to the house and asked someone to tell Gao Kan about what happened here. The rest of the people were waiting here for Ting Yin'er.
