C18 I Had Expected It

Qin Murong said, "A treasure is a crime. Because of that piece of gold, the neighbors rushed in. All your family members... are dead."

Lil 'White's head buzzed. His eyes rolled and he fell backwards.

Xiao Lann was the one who reacted quickly and held her back.

Qin Murong said, "Actually... it's my fault. If I hadn't given them so much money back then, I don't think this would have happened. Actually... to be honest, when I took out the money, I already expected this to happen. However, I didn't stop it. I still gave it to them. Perhaps I still hope that they... will die."

Little White recovered a little and started crying. Then, it threw itself into Qin Murong's arms and kept crying.

It made Qin Murong's heart break.

He touched his cheek and looked at Xiao Lann for help.

Xiao Lann said, "Young Master, just let her hug for a while."

"Okay... okay, but it's all my fault."

Xiao Lann said, "No, Young Master, you just gave them the money and they have today's outcome. It is their own fault. It is their greed and their arrogance."

Qin Murong could only smile bitterly.

Then he turned around and looked at Elder Chong. "It was because of the destruction of their family that the government increased the patrols and restrictions in the folk music store. A large part of those thieves must be hiding in the folk music store. So, the incident at Little White's house indirectly saved your lives. You don't have to thank me. But you have to thank her. It was exchanged for 17 lives! "

Elder Chong stood up with a whoosh and widened his eyes. He said loudly, "How did you know the thief was at the folk music store? Yes, how could he not be at the folk music store? The residents of Wei City are relatively stable. If there were more outsiders, it would be easy to find them in the streets. Only a chaotic place like the folk music store is the best place for them to settle down. I... why didn't I think of it? If I had ordered people to go to the folk music store and check the houses, today's matter would not have been so big! Why didn't I think of it?!"

He was extremely resentful.

Ninety percent of him and ten percent of Qin Murong hated him. He shouted loudly. Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Qin Murong was so innocent that he wanted to die. He rolled his eyes and said, "This is just my speculation after I found out. Besides, how did I know that something bad would happen? Besides, why should I tell you my suspicions? "

"You!"

Elder Chong's eyes twitched violently. He wanted to rush over and tear Qin Murong's beautiful mouth apart.

After a long while, he sighed and said, "Can we talk now? How did you find the thief?"

"It's still the same sentence. I didn't find anything. I just felt that something happened."

"Reason!"

One night, I saw someone preparing the decorations for the Fire Phoenix Festival. I noticed that a few of them were not ordinary people. Their movements were like they had practiced martial arts. It was strange that they were much stronger than ordinary people. Moreover, I was beaten up by a ruffian before. One of them said that they were from the Bright Moon Cult. At that time, I didn't believe it. A local ruffian would dare to hit me, a disciple of a rich family, just because he was a disciple of the Bright Moon Cult. Therefore, I suspect that the Bright Moon Cult is here. That's why he has the courage to do so. Also, you said that some important person would come here... Suddenly, a group of suspicious people appeared. All the local ruffians had something to rely on. "There are still important people here, so..."

Qin Murong spread his hands and said, "I suspected that something big had happened, and it happened when the important people came to Wei City, so I rushed to make this secret room to hide. You see, there is also enough food here, enough for me to hide here for a period of time."

Elder Chong looked at Qin Murong in a daze. He did not know what to say.

In the end, he forced out one. "You have already analyzed it to this extent. Why didn't you say it earlier? Why didn't you say it earlier?! "

Qin Murong blinked and said, "I went to the scene. There were archers in the house and armored soldiers on the street. They are fully prepared. They are even making a big fuss out of nothing. So, you know, there will be people coming to cause trouble during the Fire Phoenix Festival. So what's the difference between saying and not saying it? Or, if I say it, "Will you make the arrangements there more secure?"

Elder Chong blinked in a daze and weakly sat on the chair. He said with a trembling voice, This old man... we have done our best. "

Qin Murong smiled and said, "So, it is meaningless for me to say it. If I say it, it will attract suspicion. At that time, it will be inevitable that I will get into trouble. Furthermore... who doesn't know that behind this kind of thing, there is bound to be a great conspiracy. I am just a lowly son-in-law in Wei City. If any of the big figures move their fingers, I will die without a burial place. How would I dare to get involved in this kind of thing? "

"But you saved us!"

Qin Murong picked up the jade pendant and waved it, saying, "There are some feelings in my heart. I understand. I also know to repay them."

Elder Chong nodded approvingly. Suddenly, he said, "You are very talented. Why do you not like to work?"

Qin Murong looked embarrassed and said, "I'm lazy. Official matters are too complicated and I need to work. Look at me like this. How can I have the talent to be an official? If I sit in the top position, I'm afraid I'll be laughed at."

Elder Chong sighed. He seemed to know Qin Murong's character.

After all, anyone with a bit of talent would be strange.

The group had their fill.

Qin Murong said, "This place should be safe. When we built this place, no one else knew about the situation here. I don't know what this place is for, "Qin Murong said. There's plenty of food here. It should be enough for us to live here for a month."

"It will not take a month. As long as we can survive till noon tomorrow, the Imperial Guards will come in and clean up the thieves. Then we can go out."

"So fast?"

Yes, that's why the bandits are so anxious. "

"That's easy. Even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would still have to wait here for a while."

Qin Murong relaxed.

Since the storage room was occupied, he led Little White and Xiao Lann to another room.

It was just a day's rest. It was much better than he had imagined.

In the end, just as he fell asleep, a loud rumbling sound woke him up.

Following that, a knocking sound came from above their heads.

After rushing out of the room, Elder Chong and the rest had already come out.

"What's going on?!"

Elder Chong looked excited.

Qin Murong said in a deep voice, "It's not my problem. If I want to hurt you, I don't need to invite you in. Just call them. "I don't know how this place was found out," Qin Murong said. But you guys are sharp. Those people who worked there might be sharp as well. "

"That makes sense!"

Elder Chong nodded heavily and said, "What should we do now?"

"Drag!"

Drag it? "

"I've designed this place to look like a maze. As long as the number of people that come in is limited, we can drag it out until tomorrow."

"Okay, let's do it!"

Elder Chong quickly turned around and bowed to Third Prince. "Your Highness, it is a very important moment now. Please listen to this old official."
