Chapter 565: From now on, he will protect them
Seeing that Lu Qingqing agreed, Qiao Mingda discussed the entire operation process with her.
This time, under the pretext of asking Lu Qingqing and the other person to cooperate with the investigation, they went to Huwei Dahang to investigate and provide evidence.
On the surface, a team of officers will escort the two people there, but in reality, there will be another group of soldiers protecting them secretly.
The time of action was set to start around 9:00 in the morning.
The reason for setting this time is to leave enough time for the county government to arrange personnel in advance.
In addition, at this time and the next one or two hours, there are very few pedestrians on the streets.
If a real fight breaks out, it will not be easy to accidentally injure civilians.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Qiao Mingda and his wife said goodbye and left.
After seeing the two off, Lu Qingqing began to pack up the pistol, bullets, compound bow and arrows.
Although the most likely weapon to be used on this trip this afternoon is a pistol.
But if the number of people exceeds expectations, it would be a waste to use all the bullets.
At that time, you can decide whether to use a compound bow depending on the situation.
Next to him, Qin Lang also took out his Tang sword and began to sharpen it carefully in the yard.
The old village chief and Lu Tianli and others looked at the two of them like this, and they couldn't suppress their worries.
Although they had encountered such dangerous situations many times during their escape from famine.
But now we have settled down for several months and everyone has adapted to the ordinary life.
Now they are in danger again, and the two children are going alone, so everyone is very worried.
In the corridor, Wang Gui looked at the two children who were silently preparing for battle, and the guilt in his heart reached its peak.
This disaster was caused by him.
Unfortunately, he is now unable to take care of the aftermath and can only let his two children take on his share of the responsibility.
Wang Gui looked at Lu Qingqing in the yard and made up his mind that after this matter was over, he would find a way to become an official.
In the past few months, Daya and the villagers have been protecting him.
From now on, it will be his turn to protect them!
Time soon came to the hour of Si, and a team of officers took Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang out.
As agreed before, they walked along the main street towards Huwei.
As she walked along, Lu Qingqing was secretly observing the surrounding situation.
In the crowd, apart from a few vendors and pedestrians, there were only the disguised soldiers following not far behind.
When the pedestrians on the road saw the officials, they all avoided them quickly and did not notice any obvious abnormalities.
Come to think of it, if the person planted by Mei Zhuoran was really discovered so easily, she would have been caught long ago.
Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of Huwei Daxing.
Seeing that there was no obvious abnormality around, Lu Qingqing didn't look any further and followed the officers directly into the Huwei Fighting Club.
The guard at the door had received orders long ago and let the group in and closed the door.
Inside the door, there were already officials waiting. When they saw them come in, they led them into the house.
According to the original agreement, the two of them would need to stay inside for about half an hour.
This time is mainly to give Mei Zhuoran time to rush over and arrange manpower.
When the group entered the yard closest to the entrance, they saw large boxes that almost filled the entire yard.
At this time, in the shade of the yard, more than a dozen people were still sorting out the first volume.
They were divided into groups of three, one of whom was responsible for emptying the boxes and reporting the names of the items, another was responsible for copying them into the register, and another was responsible for supervising from the side to prevent corruption or mistakes.
In this kind of weather, more than a dozen people were so hot that their faces turned red and they kept wiping their sweat.
At this time, the steward who was originally taking a nap in the corridor saw them and hurried over to greet them.
The person in charge of counting the property this time was the county magistrate's close attendant.
He naturally knew Lu Qingqing's background, so when he met a few people, he politely welcomed them into the house.
After they sat down, Lu Qingqing looked through the wide-open door at the valuables that could not fit into the entire yard.
I couldn't help but secretly sigh, wondering how many families the Huwei Daxing must have plundered to gather so much wealth.
The steward hurriedly asked someone to serve tea and said to Lu Qingqing and the others:
"It's really hot today, you guys have worked hard all the way here.
Come on, have some tea to quench your thirst first."
I have to say that this steward really knows how to enjoy himself. He actually drank a rare herbal tea in the local area.
Several people rushed here in the middle of the day and were really scorched by the heat.
When they met, they all picked up their bowls and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing this, the steward hurriedly asked someone to continue pouring tea.
After drinking several bowls, they felt less hot.
After stopping, several people unconsciously looked through the open door at the property in the yard.
The team leader who led the team here must be familiar with this manager. Seeing this, he jokingly said:
"Old Wu, you're really good at this.
Just looking at all this wealth in the yard makes me feel good!"
Upon hearing this, Manager Wu smiled bitterly and said:
"What's good about that? You know our Master Qiao's temper. He can't tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.
We have to be extremely careful with these belongings, for fear that any of the bottles and jars might break and cause trouble for ourselves!
To be honest, I never thought before I came here that Huwei has only been in business for a few years, but it has plundered so much wealth!
We've been doing the inventory for over two days, and there are still quite a few who haven't registered!"
Upon hearing this, the squad leader stretched his head and looked towards the yard, saying enviously:
"That's right, the Huwei Fighting Company can probably be called the richest in Yining County!
Speaking of which, the reputation of the Huwei Martial Arts Company was so great that even my brothers had to be cautious when they were on business trips.
But this time, the Tiger Power fighting business is completely over!"
The two of them complained a few more times, and the steward began to wipe his sweat with a handkerchief, complaining as he wiped:
"You know, we're all sweating just sitting here.
It’s so hot today, when will it cool down?
The squad leader was also quite resentful about the bad weather, and the two of them complained about this topic for a while.
Soon, the appointed time arrived.
The squad leader saw that the time had come and his originally relaxed expression became tense.
Although they are not the main combat force this time, they still have to follow the officers and soldiers.
Especially following this little girl, he was the most obvious target.
Of course, the center of the target was naturally the little girl they were protecting.
But if the real fight breaks out, who can guarantee that they won’t be injured accidentally?
Lu Qingqing didn't notice the squad leader's nervous expression. She checked the bullets in the pistol, the compound bow and the arrows again.
Seeing that everything was ready, the group walked out of the door of Huwei Daxing.
From the moment she opened the door, Lu Qingqing had been observing the situation around her.
Apart from a few passers-by in a hurry, there was nothing unusual.
The only ones that might have problems are the few shops that are still open.
But when I looked inside from the door, I hardly saw anyone.
Lu Qingqing concentrated her attention and focused on these shops.
But until they left the street, they did not encounter the assassin.
