Xiao Xixi naturally wanted to take a carriage with Luo Qinghan. Xing’er was embarrassed to follow up. She and Xiao Nan sat on both sides of the carriage.

Xiao Nan was in charge of driving. He threw off the reins and the carriage slowly drove out of the backyard of the inn.

Their group of people are all fresh-faced, with cars and horses, and their goals are too big to be easily remembered.

Now many people in the city know that a group of outsiders have beaten officials, and the inns are afraid of causing trouble. When they see this group of outsiders coming, they all say that the guest rooms are full and they don’t want to let them stay.

In desperation, they could only find a yard that had been abandoned for many years.

Xiao Xixi stood in the grassy yard, with her hands in her sleeves, looking at the dilapidated house in front of her, and sighed faintly.

Luo Qinghan asked, “What are you sighing for?”

“This house is likely to be burned by a fire tonight.”

Luo Qinghan frowned slightly: “What do you count as?”

“In fact, even if I don’t need to count, His Royal Highness should be able to guess that we not only took Xing’er, but also hit the people of the county government twice in a row. They won’t let us go. The county seat is so big, they will find it soon. Our people are very good. Even if the number of people is not as large as them, if they really want to work hard, they will definitely be able to tear off a piece of meat from them. They are afraid of suffering losses, and they probably won’t go head-to-head after finding us. As long as a fire is set, we can all be trapped here.”

Luo Qinghan looked around. Because of the drought, the weeds had withered in this dilapidated place, and the house was in disrepair and was already crumbling.

If the fire burns, it will soon spread in the yard, and the house will be burned down quickly, and none of the people in the house will be able to escape.

Luo Qinghan pondered for a moment, then called Nie Changping and explained a few words in a low voice.

Nie Changping smiled after listening: “No problem, I’ll do it now!”

He took two guards and left.

The little guy asked cautiously: “Young master, do you still have to clean up this yard?”

Luo Qinghan: “Naturally, it has to be cleaned up.”

The little guys got the order and immediately got busy.

This time Xing’er finally had the opportunity to intervene and help. She carried a simple homemade broom and swept all the houses clean.

Xiao Nan went to a nearby restaurant to buy some food, packed it and brought it back for everyone to eat.

There was an oily roast chicken in the food he brought back.

Xiao Xixi was holding the chicken legs and gnawing happily.

Luo Qinghan saw that she liked to eat, so he gave her the chicken drumsticks from his bowl.

This moved Xiao Xixi badly.

Xiao Xixi said while eating: “The happiest thing in my life is to marry Your Highness!”

Luo Qinghan looked indifferent: “Your happiness is only worth a chicken leg?”

Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: “Yes, yes!”

“Then your happiness is really cheap.”

Xiao Xi smiled Hehe: “It’s good to be cheap, and such happiness is easier to get. Happiness that is too expensive will be prohibitive.”

Luo Qinghan was speechless.

This woman is always stupid and seems to be easy to deceive, but occasionally she can say a few meaningful words.

I don’t know if she is really stupid or fake stupid.

Not long after they left, the entire inn was quickly surrounded by the officials. The innkeeper hurriedly greeted him, bowing and courteously: “Why is Jin Dianshi free to come to us tonight?”

Dianshi is the Sasa official in charge of the arrest and punishment of prisons in the Yamen. He has no rank and belongs to the last-class minor official who is not in the stream, but in this remote and small place, he has great power. Ordinary people are trembling when they see him.
