After Zhou Chenghai counted the number of people and confirmed that there were many people, he informed them that they would freely purchase supplies in the morning and set off after lunch.
The Feng family and the Fang family who lived in the stables looked lifeless and looked wilted.
They couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. When they saw the Xiao family in high spirits, they couldn't get angry.
The loud-voiced Lai Cui couldn't help but shout out, "Hey, our General Xiao is actually willing to give his wife to Mr. Zhou for enjoyment, how generous he is!"
Xiao Beihan and Zhou Chenghai immediately looked at each other.
Gao Dashan whipped him directly, "What are you talking about? You started trouble early in the morning. Do you not want to live?"
"I'm not talking nonsense. I saw that woman entering Mr. Zhou's room last night. No wonder Mr. Zhou took great care of the Xiao family along the way. It turns out that there is a flesh and blood business."
Only then did Xu Qiyue understand why Mrs. Lai said this.
When I was delivering food to Mr. Zhou last night, I was actually seen by this old lady.
I just talked nonsense here this morning.
"Mother Lai, you have to pay the price for talking nonsense." Xu Qiyue said with a sinister sneer.
Gao Dashan also realized that last night Xu Qiyue clearly delivered food, and he was also there, but now Mrs. Lai said that she was stealing someone and having an affair.
Why doesn't she write a notebook? She has such a good imagination.
So he whipped me again, "Mrs. Xiao just brought a meal. I was also there at the time, and you said such unbearable things. I think you are just impatient with life."
Others who later ate the food that Xu Qiyue put over also stepped forward to say something and hit him with their fists and kicks.
The scene suddenly erupted in screams, and there was not a single good thing about Mrs. Lai.
The Lai family watched all this, but no one came forward to plead for mercy or help. They were really cold-blooded.
Xiao Beihan walked over, picked up Mrs. Lai's collar and threw it on the table aside.
The table cracked in response, frightening all the people who were still whispering at the scene. They were immediately speechless and did not dare to say another word.
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Xiao Beihan's tone was so cold that his whole body's aura was completely expelled. He looked around at everyone around him as if in shock, and then gave up.
Xu Qiyue thought in her mind: Wow, this boyfriend has good strength, oh, no, this husband has good strength.
Old lady Lai was thrown to the wall and slid down again. She could only breathe out, not in.
Zhou Chenghai glanced at her indifferently and didn't want to pay attention.
"This is the fate of those who slander. Remember, if you want to make it to the Southern Wilderness alive, put away your little thoughts. Don't be smart and think you are the special one."
"You, make arrangements for your mother to keep up with the army, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" Zhou Chenghai pointed at one of Lai Cui's sons and said.
The person being pointed at could only carry Mrs. Lai on his back, but his heart was full of complaints.
Why are you meddling in other people's business? Isn't it better to hang on high?
What happens to others is none of our business. We just need to take care of ourselves, right?
It's just causing trouble for him.
He had difficulty walking because he didn't have enough to eat. Now that Lai Lai, who was not too thin, was carried on his back, he walked even slower. He had to be whipped more.
But just when they were about to disband and everyone was busy with their own affairs, the unwilling shopkeeper began to act like a monster again.
It's so difficult to go shopping, Xu Qiyue complained in her heart.
The shopkeeper, who could no longer see the human appearance clearly, stopped at the gate.
It's just that this pig-headed person belongs to the shopkeeper?
The tall man stood up again and said, "You are not allowed to leave. You must first find the real culprit who murdered the shopkeeper before you can leave."
A group of people looked at him angrily.
What does it mean to find out the real culprit of the murder? It means treating them as the murderer and conducting an investigation.
They were exiled, but it was not the turn of just anyone to slander them.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Chenghai asked directly.
"Shopkeeper, we have cooperated so many times, and every time it has been smooth. You should know very well what kind of person I am, and now you are suspicious of us. Are you not too kind?"
The shopkeeper was gesticulating, pointing at Xu Qiyue, and the skin on his face was almost twisted into twists, but he still didn't express what he wanted to express.
Like a clown, jumping around.
Xu Qiyue, who was standing behind, chuckled.
Xiao Beihan glanced at her, feeling helpless, walked up to her and blocked her behind.
But Gao Dazui didn't seem to want to let go of this opportunity to make a contribution. He stared straight in Xu Qiyue's direction, pointed his finger at her, and said loudly:
"It was she, that woman, who made our shopkeeper like this."
When other people saw it, some were happy and some were worried.
Zhou Chenghai looked at the direction he was pointing and narrowed his eyes.
"Oh, you think you must have made a mistake. That's Madam Xiao. She's usually very kind. Besides, look, how could such a petite person like her hurt such a tall shopkeeper?"
Well, here comes another serious nonsense talker.
"You...you...Master Zhou, you are covering up!"
Zhou Chenghai raised his hands and said calmly: "It's nothing. I think the shopkeeper must have been bitten by an insect or something. It's better to find a doctor to treat it properly."
This time, not only the exiles nodded together, but also the guests who came to stay in the hotel.
The shopkeeper's swollen mouth and face, to a discerning eye, were caused by a poisonous bite, and he had no evidence to prove that Xu Qiyue did it.
"you you……"
Gao Dazui was speechless again, and the battle failed today.
With a depressed heart, grief and anger, Gao Dazui kept beating his chest.
"Shopkeeper, if you have nothing else to do, please give way. It's getting late and we have to rush. This will delay our schedule. Neither you nor I can afford it."
No matter how much the shopkeeper hates it, he can only choose to give up temporarily.
There is no news at all from his brother-in-law.
He couldn't beat the man next to the little lady.
At once……
Very depressing.
Zhou Chenghai saw that even though the shopkeeper was resentful, he still asked people to get out of the way, so he set a time to gather outside the town, and then let everyone disperse.
No one saw the petty shopkeeper, whose eyes were filled with viciousness.
Each family sent two people, followed by two official servants, to purchase things, while the others followed the large army to wait outside the town.
The ones sent by the Xiao family were Xu Qiyue and Xiao Beihan.
