Chapter 608: A Fox Pretending to Be a Tiger

A dark light flashed in the guard's eyes, he pinched the box and said, "Open it, who knows if there is any evidence of collusion with the assassin hidden inside?"

Bai Erlang was angry, "Where can I, a student, collude with assassins?"

He directly took out the key and opened the box with a snap. Inside were all his belongings, most of which were silver, and a small part were copper coins.

He gave the guards a look, then closed the box and wanted to carry it into his arms, but the guard held it down and didn't let go. He said with a blank expression: "I want to take this box away, check to see if there is a sandwich."

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao heard the quarrel in the room, and ran in quickly. Hearing what the guard said, Man Bao immediately took out a piece of clothing from the side cabinet and spread it on the bed, and Bai Shanbao opened the box again, and put the clothes inside After taking out all the money, he generously handed the box to the guard, "Here, take it and check it."

A dark light appeared in the guard's eyes, and he took a fixed look at the three boys and girls, then closed the box and handed it to the person behind him.

Zhou Zhoulang ran in after him and saw his face, so he knew it was going to be bad. From the time they smashed things in the kitchen with rough hands, he knew that these people were not easy to mess with.

He anxiously stepped forward and touched his body, but he didn't find any money, so he didn't care much, he reached out and grabbed the silver on his clothes, and wanted to stuff it into the guard's hand to bribe one or two.

But Man Bao pressed his hand, and Bai Shanbao shook his head at him.

The guard narrowed his eyes, and the atmosphere in the room became weird.

Zhou Zhoulang couldn't help looking at Daji, he felt that in this room, only the two of them could be mature enough to take care of things.

Daji was silent for a while, then shook his head slightly at Zhou Zhoulang.

Zhou Zhoulang's hand froze, he glanced at Yaomei, then slowly withdrew his hand from the silver, looked at the silent guard and others, not knowing what to do.

The leading guard sneered, waved his hand and said, "Continue to search, search carefully!"

As soon as the words were finished, a guard's hand swept away, and the vase that Bai Shanbao put on the wooden stand fell to the ground and shattered.

Bai Erlang widened his eyes.

The guards rolled up their sleeves and turned around in the room, throwing quilts and other things on the ground, tables and chairs were rudely removed, wardrobes and boxes were opened, and clothes and toys were thrown everywhere.

Nothing was found, so the head guard waved his hand and went to other rooms.

Bai Shanbao suppressed his temper all the time, holding Man Bao with one hand and Bai Erlang with the other, not letting them get angry.

When they arrived at the courtyard, the guards saw the main room at a glance, and they were about to go forward with someone. Even Bai Shanbao couldn't bear it anymore, and stepped forward to stop him, "This is my husband's room and study..."

The guard sneered, "Everyone has to search the room, get out of the way!"

"Bai Shan," Mr. Zhuang stood on the porch, motioned him to get out of the way, and said with a faint smile, "Let them investigate."

Only then did the guards see a person standing under the porch, but the night was too dark, and they only lit a lamp in the room, so they didn't see him for a while.

Looking intently at this moment, I realized that Mr. Zhuang was standing on the porch, with the cook and Zhou Lijun standing behind him.

Zhou Lijun trotted up, grabbed my sister-in-law's hand, and shook his head at her.

Mr. Zhuang took a step, looked at the guards with a smile and said: "Please check carefully, we can sleep more peacefully."

A yamen servant leading the way looked at Mr. Zhuang, then at the guards, and couldn't help but stepped forward and whispered to the guards: "My lord, the background of this family is a bit different. They met Mr. Tang, and they seem to be old friends."

The guard's heart skipped a beat, Tang He came from the Tang family in Jinyang, his old friend...

The guard was a little more polite, but he still led people to search the other rooms, but he didn't dare to break anything again.

Bai Shanbao and the others kept watching coldly, neither scolding nor flattering. After Mr. Zhuang sat down behind the desk, Bai Shan went to the kitchen to bring a pot of boiling water that was always hot to make tea for him.

Seeing that the three younger ones were so calm, and Mr. Zhuang sitting and drinking tea slowly, the leading guards didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

He secretly glared at the yamen servant. If you have a background, why didn't you say it earlier?

The servant lowered his eyes to avoid his gaze.

Zhou Zhoulang looked around, feeling a little uncertain.

He really wanted to find some money to bribe these guards, but seeing the faces of Man Bao and the others, he didn't dare.

So he could only bow down and send the group of people out after the search, and waved his hands fawningly: "Go slowly, officials."

When the people walked away, Zhou Zhoulang straightened his back, curled his lips secretly, turned around and went back to close the door.

He ran to the study in a hurry, Man Bao and the others were packing up.

Although they didn't smash anything when they searched the study room, they made a mess, and some calligraphy and paintings were defaced, so they had to be cleaned up again.

Zhou Zhoulang went directly to Mr. Zhuang, "Mr. Zhuang, won't we offend the officials like this? I think those guards are very proud. If they trouble us afterwards..."

Before Mr. Zhuang could speak, Man Bao on the side first said, "Fourth brother, it's useless to give money to this kind of person. If you have a grudge, it's still a feud. You have to be powerful to suppress it."

"That's right, if Bai Er's money box is taken away by him, he will search other rooms later, and I don't know how much money he will have to plunder," Bai Shanbao said, "But we have already withheld the money, and you can give him the silver again." , He accepts the money, but his anger is still lingering in his heart, not only will he continue to smash things, but he will not let us go afterwards."

"They are searching for the assassin, and at such a critical moment, they only need to tell us that they seem to be related to the assassin, and we are all inseparable. Don't think about it." Bai Shanbao said: "So, either Bai Er will be wrong at the beginning. Let him search the money box, and if we spend money to eliminate disasters, he will have nothing to do with us when he leaves this door."

"Either you can only counteract the situation after the fact." Bai Shanbao said: "The last thing you can do is to bribe in the middle, that is really losing your wife and losing your army. There is no benefit at all."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, approvingly said: "That's right, this person is a villain, that's what he has to do."

Zhou Zhoulang sighed, "I don't know what the official officer said, but their attitude softened immediately, and they won't come to trouble us again afterwards, right?"

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while, then got up and went back to the house, took out a bag of money and handed it to Zhou Zhoulang, and said: "Tomorrow, I will buy some things and go to the county government to thank me. In a few days, when the county magistrate Tang is not so busy, we will invite him Have a meal and accept his favor."

Zhou Zhoulang blinked, and realized belatedly, "It's because of Magistrate Tang."

Bai Erlang said angrily: "These people are too bad, what's the difference between them and bandits?"

Man Bao asked: "Our family can still pretend to be a tiger, what will happen to other ordinary people?"
