Chapter 328: Can She Aim Accurately?
The little soul looked at Xie Qiao in fear. He seemed to be quite obedient.
He was quite good-looking. He was fair and clean. If he was not floating, one would not be able to tell that he was a soul.
That was why Xie Qiao made a deal with him.
The soul helped her to observe the surroundings. She would burn joss paper for him to spend. She would also help him adjust the position of the mound to benefit his family and descendants.
“Who took her away?” Xie Qiao asked.
“It was a woman in her twenties. Three or four men dragged her away. There were few people nearby, but they wouldn’t dare to speak up…” the little soul said again.
There were no officers and soldiers patrolling in this forest. Even if there were, they would only come here occasionally to take a look. After all, it was still quite far from the outside of the city.
The land outside the city had almost been divided up. It would be inconvenient if there were too many people. Later on, these disaster victims could only make do with sleeping nearby. When they went to the outside of the city to collect food during the day, they would also pass through.
However, Xie Qiao did not expect that there would still be people who dared to go against the law and commit crimes.
It was a little strange.
However, now that she had heard about it, Xie Qiao could not just sit there and do nothing.
First, she had someone go to the officials to report the case. Then, she arranged for the servants to follow her and ride over to take a look.
When they reached that place, there was no one there. The people around were shaking, and they seemed to be a little frightened.
Xie Qiao was hesitating whether to chase after them.
If she did not chase after them, by the time the officers and soldiers arrived, the people would have already disappeared. How could they find them?
Should she let the servants do it?
Xie Qiao thought for a moment and was about to speak, but she felt that something was wrong.
This place was too dangerous. These ten or so servants were her confidence. If they were to divide into two groups, she would not be able to hold on if she really encountered an evil person.
“Let’s go over and take a look,” Xie Qiao thought for a moment and said.
The servants obeyed obediently.
There were still traces of people being dragged on the ground. Xie Qiao and her men had been following them, but the other party ran quite fast. It did not take long before there were no more people around.
When they reached the empty spot in the wild forest, the people in front actually stopped. Not only that, there were actually more than ten people climbing up from the surrounding hay.
“Protect the Young Lady!” The servants around Xie Qiao were shocked and shouted quickly.
At that moment, there were indeed some people following not far behind them.
As they counted, there were more than 20 people in total.
Xie Qiao licked her lips and started to think. Her eyes scanned the people around them.
She really saw someone she recognized.
“Hah, isn’t that the old steward of my Xie family, Yuan Rong? Isn’t it enough to cripple one of your arms and legs? Are you sick of living?” Xie Qiao said coldly.
Yuan Rong was initially standing behind these people, limping.
However, when he heard Xie Qiao mention his name, he walked out limping. He looked at her with a cold gaze, “Eldest Young Lady, always show mercy, so that we’ll be at peace when we meet in the future! You got the Eldest Young Master to do this to me. Now that you’ve fallen into my hands, I will definitely serve you well!”
Who asked Xie Qiao to be so proud and make enemies everywhere?!
The Xie family’s reputation was not bad, but did they not think that she had ruined many people’s jobs?!
Many people had been captured outside the city, but how could they catch all of them?!
Ha, look, now the ones who wanted revenge had come!
“I’m afraid you’ve forgotten how painful the arrow I shot at you was?” Xie Qiao was still sitting in the carriage, and she took out a bow and crossbow.
Yuan Rong’s eyebrows twitched when he saw the familiar crossbow, and he subconsciously felt a pain in his abdomen.
He had not fully recovered from his injury!
It was all because of Xie Qiao. If she had not returned, he would still be the head steward of the Xie family, looking very impressive!
“Little girl, why are you playing with this thing? Young Lady Xie, we won’t make things difficult for you. Get down from the carriage and let us brothers vent our anger. Let’s forget about the past, we won’t hurt you. What do you think?” The man in the lead laughed.
The little girl was still playing with a crossbow?
Could she aim accurately?
Whoosh…
