Chapter 132 Design
"What's wrong?" Tian Xing'er asked puzzledly. Fu'er also came over and waited for Tian Zhenwei's reply.
"The guy next door has been following us since we left the yamen. Wait for me a moment." After saying that, Tian Zhenwei took Tie Qi out.
"Sister, look, they ran away." After a while, I saw the people next door jumping out of the window.
Then Tian Zhenwei came back and said, "It's okay, I alarmed them on purpose, and now Tie Qi is following us secretly, we will know who it is then.
"That's good, Uncle Zhenwei still has a solution.
By the way, Uncle Zhenwei, where is Gao Xi? Why did he disappear when we arrived in Shu County? He didn’t follow us into the county government office that day?"
"He said he felt embarrassed to stay here for free, so he went out to find a house. But he will probably come to see you in a few days. With your father here, he would be stupid not to curry favor with him."
"That's right. Let's not talk about Gao Xi. I looked around the county town today and it seems like nothing is wrong. It's a waste of time for the prefect to leave people here. I don't know what they are thinking."
"They probably want to force your father and his men into a corner and make them make mistakes, so that they can have something to hold against them. I'm afraid they are preparing for a long war. I heard from your brother that Manager Ma has been in Shu County for about a month."
"Do you have any good idea? How do you get rid of this Manager Ma? We can't use our things now. We feel very frustrated." Tian Xing'er asked while playing with the teacup on the table.
"Sisters, what do you want to do? Can I join in? The third brother and the others played with you before, so you have to take me with you this time."
"Okay, we'll do it when we figure it out."
Tian Zhenwei smiled and said, "There are ways." Then he dipped his hand into the cup of water and wrote "medicine" on the table.
"Is this reliable? Will it be useless? What if someone else comes?"
"continue."
"That's fine. Hahaha, I think this scene is quite interesting." Tian Xing'er thought about it and it made sense. Preventing people from coming was also a solution, but those dark areas still had to be dealt with.
"What about the dark ones?"
"Come one by one, and then we can talk. Let's solve this first."
"Ok."
Thinking that Manager Ma was about to get into trouble, he was in a good mood. His father and brothers were not gentle at all. He had to use some tricks to deal with such people. A gentleman would easily waste his energy.
After the little episode, the group ordered some snacks in the teahouse and enjoyed themselves for the whole afternoon. But when they were leaving, Tian Xinger always felt like someone was staring at her, but when she looked back, there was no one. She thought that it was her parents who did it and there shouldn't be any problem, so she didn't take it seriously.
After returning to the inner court, Tie Qi had already returned. He avoided people and told Tian Zhenwei about his discovery alone, "Brother, I followed that person and found that something seemed wrong. I don't know why, I felt as if someone was helping him, and then I lost him, but I felt that the perception at that time was wrong."
"Why do you say that?"
"When I chased to the vegetable market, a bullock cart suddenly lost control. On the surface, there seemed to be no problem. I checked it afterwards and it didn't seem to be man-made, it was just an accident. But I just felt it was weird. In fact, I felt a little uncomfortable since we entered Shu County. I don't know why.
I'm not like this usually, I don't know if it's because I'm not used to it or what."
"Well, trust your own intuition, because I also felt something was wrong today, but I just didn't see anything."
"If we talk like this, it will be very difficult to deal with those people. What should we do?"
"Let's walk and see. There is no other way now. If they send so many people over, it will be a big trouble."
Tian Zhenwei told Tian Xing'er about these things, and Tian Xing'er also told him about the strange things that happened in the teahouse today.
"That means we all felt it, but why didn't anyone else seem to notice?"
"Maybe we are used to it, so we don't think it's unusual. We were so nervous all the way here, so we may be more sensitive than them."
"That's possible. Never mind. This is the only way for now. Are we still going to deal with Manager Ma?"
"What do you think? If you find him annoying, I'll have someone deal with him. If you don't mind, you can just leave him out in the open. He's targeting your family anyway, and there's nothing to behold for a rough guy like us."
"Well, that's not right. Think about whether you still want to use that. You don't want someone to take it away one day."
"Humph, they don't have that ability yet."
"You can't do it secretly, I'm afraid. In the open these days, the open ones are the scariest. Sometimes doing it secretly is not that troublesome, because no one sees it anyway, so you can do whatever you want."
"That makes sense. I'll have someone take care of it. Just wait and see."
After talking to Tian Xing'er, Tian Zhenwei disappeared for most of the day and went to the mountains with his brothers. When he came back, everything was normal and nothing unusual.
The next morning, after breakfast, the show began.
"Oh, my stomach hurts. I think I ate something wrong." Tian Xing'er covered her stomach and asked the maid to take her to the toilet.
"Ah, I seem to be feeling a little unwell too." Tian Yuyu also started to follow, and then everyone in the mansion followed him to the toilet, making the toilet even nervous.
Because all the toilets in the inner court were occupied, some people followed to the toilets in front of the yamen and occupied all the toilets here as well.
"Oh, what's wrong with you? This one, he has a stomachache. What did you eat?" Manager Ma saw that everyone in County Magistrate Tian's family had stomachaches early in the morning, so he held back his laughter and came to watch them.
"Why are you still queuing? If all else fails, go to the public toilets on the street. Your county magistrate has set up several public toilets."
"Manager Ma, please stop talking. We can't hold on any longer. We won't be able to hold it in before we get halfway. Okay, I won't talk to you anymore. It's my turn now. I'm going in. Manager Ma, if you're not in a hurry, just go to the toilet on the street."
Seeing that they all had diarrhea, Manager Ma realized that his chance had finally come. He could sneak into their room in the inner court to look for clues. He had not yet done what Prefect Yan asked him to do.
He thought he would never have a chance, but the adults sent a message saying that the things that Magistrate Tian's daughter brought with her this time contained things that shouldn't be there, and he had to find them out himself so that he could catch them.
The county magistrate had already arranged staff for him. Although the magistrate had not taken care of this place much in recent years, he still had people watching over it. It was not that he really just ignored it. Now all these people were put to use.
Manager Ma came to the inner court to find Tian Yuyu and said, "Second Master, how are you? Do you want to see a doctor? I think you may all be poisoned."
"Well, then I'll trouble Manager Ma. Ah, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm sorry, I have to go again." Tian Yuyu ran into the toilet again with his hands on his stomach.
"It stinks so bad. I can't stand it. I have to leave quickly." Manager Ma felt relieved when he saw that Tian Yuyu was also having diarrhea. He asked someone to go to the inner courtyard to see if the girls there were also having diarrhea. After confirming that everyone was having diarrhea, Manager Ma felt relieved.
"Go and help me keep an eye on it. No one can see us, okay?" Manager Ma found a room and changed into women's clothes. He asked his maid to help keep an eye on it, and he slipped into the inner courtyard.
After searching for a while, he finally found Tian Xinger's room. Seeing that no one was watching outside, he went in and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets. After searching for half a day, he found nothing.
"It's strange. Where did this damn girl hide the things? I searched the whole room but couldn't find anything."
Then he thought that someone might have hidden it under the bed, so he bent down to look for it.
"Ah," Manager Ma turned over the bed sheet and saw a sturdy woman underneath.
As soon as the woman saw the man, she sprinkled powder on him, and then Manager Ma fainted.
Seeing that Manager Ma had fainted, the woman crawled out. "Humph, you've walked into a trap, right? I'll kill you, old man."
"How is it going?" The door was suddenly pushed open from the outside and Tian Zhenwei walked in.
"Do you still need to worry when I take action? Look at this old man here. What follows is my family's unique skills. Just continue to watch the show."
"Okay, I didn't expect that Gao Xi also has this hobby." Tian Xing'er flashed out from behind Tian Zhenwei.
