Chapter 1399 [Updated on August 27] Check that Man for Me

"See you by fate." The man ignored Fourth Master's anger and smiled at Ruoyin indifferently.

He was busy getting rid of the servants, so he continued to step on the elbows of the craftsmen and walked in the direction behind Ruoyin.

Ruoyin looked back, only to find that there was a trail at the end behind her, which could go directly to the back hill of the workshop.

So, in the blink of an eye, the man disappeared.

She couldn't help sighing in her heart, at this hour, this guy actually still has the leisure and elegance to strike up a conversation with her.

It's too rampant, and I don't pay attention to thousands of yamen servants.

This kind of person, at first glance, is the kind of disciple who speaks hooligans as soon as he opens his mouth.

He's addicted to his mouth, did he ever think about causing trouble to her?

Seeing that the man escaped from the hot pursuit of the yamen servants smoothly, the craftsmen were still dealing with the yamen servants in order to make him leave more smoothly.

Fourth master, with a dark face, took Ruoyin and Banmei back to the carriage.

After getting into the carriage, Fourth Master said coldly: "Su Peisheng, find an inn nearby."

"Yes." Twenty thousand craftsmen called Xie, this is not a trivial matter.

The cloth and silk produced in these workshops were not only sold to the local people, but also sold throughout the Qing Dynasty.

Even, the imperial court and the Thirteenth Bank still need to export trade.

Not to mention these supply issues.

If only 20,000 craftsmen are not appeased, it will easily lead to greater riots.

Today they just gathered to protest.

Maybe tomorrow, there will be chaos everywhere.

Because the confession of many robbers who were caught in the prison is: If you can work as a servant, you should not be a bandit first.

If the helpers can't make a living, the final fate of these people is very likely to do some unconscionable things.

Therefore, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

Then, the matter of going to Hangzhou will be temporarily postponed.

"Also, check that man for me!" Fourth Master said.

"Which man?" Su Peisheng was too busy fighting with the yamen servants just now, so he didn't pay much attention.

Seeing that Su Peisheng didn't understand, Fourth Master's face darkened.

Fortunately, Banmei came to Su Peisheng's ear and told Su Peisheng.

Su Peisheng was so frightened that he immediately answered "Yes".

Workshops are generally opened in relatively remote places, so the price of the lot is cheaper.

Therefore, this area does not belong to the prosperous area of ​​Suzhou.

The inns under Ruoyin's name are basically opened in more prosperous places.

In addition, it is opened near the tourist area.

Then, Su Peisheng could only temporarily find a decent inn nearby.

About half an hour later, the carriage stopped at an inn.

After entering the inn, the furniture, tables and chairs inside are very ordinary.

But fortunately, it is relatively clean and hygienic.

In this kind of place, it is already very good to find something like this.

There are quite a lot of people in the lobby, and there are several tables of guests eating.

It's just that in such a small place, the business is relatively loose and not professional enough.

The guests have all entered the door, but they do not come up to greet them.

After Ruoyin and fourth master found a place to sit down, Su Peisheng and Banmei went to talk to the shopkeeper.

In the end, I booked the best room in this inn.

After booking, Ruoyin and fourth master went to the room.

Not long after, Xiaoer put the food and tea on the table.

It was night, Su Peisheng checked the matter and reported it to Fourth Master.

"Your Majesty, the slaves have checked it out. This time, the incident was mainly caused by the collusion between the local government and the workshop contractor, and the government took money from the contractor, and concealed it from the court."

Fourth master nodded slightly after hearing this.

However, when Su Peisheng stopped talking, he looked up at Su Peisheng.

Meeting those questioning eyes, Su Peisheng hurriedly continued: "By the way, there is also the man you asked the servants to investigate. His name is Cao Luoyun. He used to be the Cao family, a well-known wealthy family in Suzhou. The Cao family was originally a martial arts family, majoring in Cao Bagua boxing."

"Afterwards, due to a change in the family situation, it fell into decline, and the Cao family only had an eight-year-old baby left. This Cao Luoyun is the only remaining baby in the Cao family."

"Because of the pressure of life, he worked as a long-term worker in a textile workshop since he was a child. Because he is very talented and smart, and he can repair all kinds of machinery after a long time, he hangs around in various workshops in this area all year round. Those craftsmen are like him. I know him very well, and I warmly call him Master Cao..."

Because the inn's dishes were relatively salty for dinner, Ruoyin drank too much water.

Halfway through hearing this, she took Banmei to the latrine.

The hut was in the backyard on the first floor. Ruoyin came out of the hut and was about to take Banmei back to the guest room upstairs.

But at this moment, she heard a rustling sound behind her.

When I turned my head, I saw a group of people in the back mountain of the backyard. It looked like there were about ten people there.

And one by one, they drilled down from the cellar.

At first, Ruoyin thought it was the inn guy who was going to the cellar to get some stored food.

Such as sweet potatoes, rice, beans and so on.

However, when she saw a face who had met once in the crowd, she realized that the matter might not be as simple as taking food.

Because, she saw Cao Luoyun that Su Peisheng and the others mentioned.

Ruoyin now seriously suspected that it was their base.

However, she adhered to the principle that when she was away from home, it was better to do something less than to do more, and she wanted to pretend she didn't see it.

But she and Banmei are in an awkward position.

If they were in the hut, at worst they would not be able to come out, just pretend not to see them.

Or they walked across the backyard and went straight upstairs.

But they are right in the middle, neither walking nor hiding.

Standing there, it is very conspicuous.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ruoyin was still going to pull Banmei out of here quickly.

But the two of them were just about to leave, and the one named Cao Luoyun saw Ruoyin.

So, Ruoyin dragged Banmei to run faster.

Because he saw that Cao Luoyun didn't go down to the cellar, but instead rushed towards the two of them.

Yes, that's right, it just rushed over.

That speed is simply faster than rushing to avoid thousands of government servants during the day.

Moreover, Cao Luoyun said fiercely: "Wait!"

Not only that, those who just went down to the cellar also climbed up one by one.

Ruoyin dragged Banmei to run, thinking, if it's over, will she be murdered to silence her?

That Cao Luoyun is worthy of being the successor of the Cao family's Eight Diagrams Boxing, and he immediately led his people to catch up with Ruoyin.

And surrounded Ruoyin and Banmei.

Banmei opened her mouth to scream, but a woman stepped forward and gagged her mouth with a cotton cloth.

Ruoyin also wanted to open his mouth to attract fourth master and the others, but was threatened by that Cao Luoyun.

"If you don't want her to die, it's best not to yell." Cao Luoyun finished speaking when the woman took a dagger and pressed it against Banmei's neck.

"Okay, okay, I won't shout anymore, but you don't want to touch her either," Ruoyin said.

Seeing that Ruoyin didn't shout loudly, Cao Luoyun put his hands on Ruoyin's shoulders, and the two brothers said politely, "Beauty, let's meet again."
