Su Qing stopped when she heard the commotion outside and looked out of the alley with a frown.
A group of bailiffs rushed into the alley with bats in their hands. They pointed at Su Qing and shouted. It was the servant who had invited her to the teahouse earlier.
Su Qing put down the sack and looked at the girl servant, disguised as a man. Were ancient women so avant-garde? She took a fancy to a young man on the street and brought people to snatch him home.
Xiao Yan pointed at the gunny sack on Su Qing’s car and shouted at the bailiffs,
“Miss is in her cart.”
Su Qing was stunned momentarily and let go of the hostility on her body. From the sound of it, the young lady had disappeared. This servant girl suspected that she had captured her young lady.
“This cart is filled with condiments,” Su Qing said coldly.
“That’s impossible. Why did you find such a hidden alley to keep condiments?”
Xiao Yan didn’t believe Su Qing’s words. Her young lady had chased after this young master. They searched the streets several times but couldn’t find her. Then, they saw Su Qing pushing the sack into a hidden alley.
“I want to go to the toilet.”
Su Qing said without changing her expression. There were toilets everywhere on the streets for men. It was widespread to go to the toilet in the alley.
“Liar. You guys search the gunny sack in the cart.”
Xiao Yan blushed when she heard Su Qing say that she went to the alley to use the toilet, but she did not believe it. How could it be such a coincidence? She ordered the bailiffs to open the sack.
Two bailiffs held their rods and glared at Su Qing. The other bailiffs went over to open the sack.
As soon as the sack was untied, large and small bags of condiments fell out. Where was the person?
Xiao Yan was confident and thought it must be her young Miss in the sack. She did not expect it to be seasoning. This was a huge blow. She took a few steps back and muttered in disbelief,
“Impossible. My young Miss went to chase you and disappeared. If she’s not here, where is she?”
“Young lady, don’t speak nonsense; it will damage your young Miss’ reputation.”
Su Qing’s face turned stern as she reprimanded her coldly.
Xiao Yan’s face was flushed red. She was so anxious that she couldn’t think while talking.
“Why did you buy so many seasonings?”
The head of the yamcn came over to interrogate Su Qing. Su Qing’s dark and deep eyes were covered with a layer of coldness. She stared at him coldly and said calmly,
“Are seasonings banned by the government?”
“No.”
“Then, isn’t it free to buy as much as I want?”
Su Qing’s words made the official choke. He frowned and looked at Su Qing. He wouldn’t have been so polite if he hadn’t seen Su Qing wearing a brocade robe.
This luxurious clothing and the cold and arrogant aura that only a superior person had showed that the person in front of him was not ordinary.
Before he knew Su Qing’s identity, there was no conclusive evidence. The head of the yamcn did not dare to be rude to Su Qing, but he could not let her go just like that. He cupped his hands and said politely,
“May I ask where young Master wants to send these seasonings?”
“Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency.”
Su Qing saw that she couldn’t escape so quickly, so she casually mentioned the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency.
“Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency?”
Hearing that it was the head of the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency, his expression relaxed. “That’s easy. We’ll go with Young Master to verify it.”
“Sure.”
Su Qing agreed calmly. They had to hire the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency to help deliver the cotton clothes anyway. Still, this way, the seasonings could not be loaded into the system, so they could only ask the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency to help deliver them.
Seeing that Su Qing did not panic at all, the bailiff leader ordered the other two bailiffs,
“You guys accompany Xiao Yan to look for her again and report this matter to Zhizhou.”
Xiao Yan had begged these people to help her find a prostitute. Xiao Yan’s face turned pale when she heard she had to report to Zhizhou.
If Old Master knew that she and Miss came out disguised as men and she even lost Miss, wouldn’t he skin her alive?
“Young Master, you didn’t see my Young Miss?”
Xiao Yan no longer had the imposing manner from before and asked Su Qing with a sad face. Su Qing shook her head coldly, “No.” She was stingy with her words.
Without a servant girl accompanying her, how could Young Miss have the guts to run out? Not only that, but she had also been a pimp to the young Miss, asking her to go upstairs to meet her young Miss in private. Such a servant girl should be severely punished.
Xiao Yan refused to give up. “Brother Qiu, don’t tell Zhizhou yet. Maybe he’s lying!”
Su Qing’s expression turned even colder, and a stern light shot from her deep eyes.
Xiao Yan shrank her neck under Su Qing’s gaze and hid behind the yamen head, not daring to come out.
“Young Master, please follow us to the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency.”
These yamen runners were like slugs stuck to her body and could not be shaken off. The head of the yamen still cupped his hands politely at Su Qing. Su Qing looked at him coldly.
She had the intention to kill them. No one could see if she killed them to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Just as she was about to kill these people, she heard Yang Zhi’s voice.
“Brother Qiu, he is indeed my employer.”
It turned out that Yang Zhi was bringing Ji Shuisheng and Qiu Yongkang to a restaurant for a meal. Ji Shuisheng saw Su Qing from afar and was afraid she would run out of clothes again, so he wanted to call her.
Yang Zhi was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to find a restaurant and followed him over. Then, he saw Xiao Yan leading the bailiffs to block Su Qing in the alley. Ji Shuisheng panicked and quickly went over with Qiu Yongkang.
Yang Zhi followed them into the alley and happened to hear Su Qing mention the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency. The head of the yamcn wanted to bring him to the Zhenyuan Bodyguard Agency to verify, so he came over to help confirm it.
“Brother Yang.”
Chief Qiu cupped his fists and returned Yang Zhi’s salute.
“Dare I ask, has Boss Yang been with him all this time?”
“Yes, we just went to Qingzhou Cloth Shop to discuss a business deal. Then, this little brother went out to buy spices, so we separated.”
Yang Zhi told the truth. He was also shocked to see the sack of condiments on the wheelbarrow. This little brother was right. He wanted to buy a lot of things.
With Yang Zhi’s proof, Xiao Yan’s last hope was dashed. She staggered, and her face was ashen. Tears flowed down her face as she muttered to herself,
“Miss, Miss, where did you go?”
When Yang Zhi heard Xiao Yan’s words, he quickly asked,
“Miss Luan is missing?”
Xiao Yan wiped her tears and cried,
” Yes, Miss went to chase after this young master. I chased after her closely but couldn’t catch up. After turning the corner at the back street, Miss disappeared.”
Su Qing’s face darkened. She had provoked a rotten peach blossom.
“She disappeared after turning the corner? So many people are on the street; they can’t be captured.”
Luan Zhizhou and Su Hanxuan were brothers-in-law. Yang Zhi had met him a few times in the Su residence and had spoken to Zhizhou. He had gone to handle the escort procedures, and Luan Zhizhou had even given him a way out for Su Hanxuan’s sake.
He owed Luan Zhizhou a debt of gratitude, so when he heard that Luan Zhizhou’s daughter was missing, Yang Zhi was also very anxious.
“I don’t know, boohoo … Miss, come back quickly!”
Xiao Yan cried her eyes out.
Yang Zhi quickly comforted Xiao Yan.
“Don’t worry; I’ll return to the Bodyguard Agency and get someone to accompany you.”
“Thank you, Brother Yang.”
Chief Qiu was pleased to hear he was willing to help and quickly cupped his fists to thank him.
“Since Brother Yang still has something to do, we will go to the cloth shop to settle the bill first. The delivery address will be left at the cloth shop. I will leave half of the escort fee first and pay you the other half after the goods are delivered.”
When Ji Shuisheng heard that Zhizhou’s daughter had gone missing, he calculated that the city would be sealed off soon, so he had to leave before the city was sealed off..
