I'm going to become rich after being dressed as a five-year-old woman

Chapter 143 Li Yuzhu comes to the county!

The leading soldier turned around and looked at the madam fiercely, his eyes full of impatience. He thought he could be done with his mission as soon as he caught the person.

Yu Rui lowered her head and quickly gave the madam a look.

The madam responded and smiled apologetically, "Sir, we have a lot of people coming in every day, and this person wouldn't come to us so openly. Maybe he just looks a bit like me, and I was mistaken."

He took out some silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the bodies of the officers and soldiers.

A group of people searched, but naturally couldn't find anyone.

The room was so big that one could actually see the end at a glance. They also checked every place carefully, and there was indeed no intention on their part.

"My lord, I haven't found it."

Just as they were about to leave, the leading soldier saw two cups of tea on the table, grabbed Yurui's arm, and walked in.

"What about people?"

Even though the madam had seen a lot of the world, she couldn't help but panic. She should not have lied. She didn't know where Yu Rui had hidden the person, and she just hoped that she would not get her into trouble.

"Well, Yurui, didn't you see me?"

A drunken guest, his feet floating on the ground, stumbled and fell in front of Yurui.

Yu Rui had a shy smile on her face and placed her hands across the man's chest, blocking his next move.

"Sir, my guest is back."

This statement was very clear, and the leading officer also put aside his serious suspicion, waved his hand and took the others away, as other places had already been searched.

The madam gestured to close the door, took the drunk man in, and threw him to the accompanying servant: "Take him back to Yi Liu."

Yu Rui is the top star in their hall, so the man in front of her naturally cannot afford her.

"Mother."

Yu Rui lowered her head, looking like she was waiting for her fate.

The madam sighed and pulled her to sit down: "Tell me what's going on. You are always smart and have your own ideas. You must have your reasons for doing this."

Yu Rui is the top star in this brothel. Many dignitaries are her lovers. She is the cash cow in the hands of the madam. At a time like what happened just now, she naturally has to be protected.

Even though they were talking behind closed doors, the madam's tone was gentle and negotiating. She didn't believe that Yu Rui was the kind of person who was so foolish as to seek death.

Yu Rui nodded and held the hand that the madam handed over. "Mom, I didn't know about it at first, but I found out later. But I can't report it. If someone is jealous of us and tries to make trouble, it will be disadvantageous to us no matter what the final result is. What's more, the official just came to arrest someone. If he is really caught here, he will be charged with harboring a suspect, and we can't do this business anymore."

The madam was also scared. Indeed, it was all because the man was a woman and had to come to them, which would really cause misunderstanding.

"So...where is that person now?"

She was suspicious and looked around but couldn't find it. She knew the layout of the room very well. If she couldn't find it after searching the cabinets and other places, then there couldn't be anything hidden elsewhere.

"I don't know either. Maybe she heard the news and ran away. Never mind, mom. We can't afford to offend someone involved in such a big case. This is good. We won't offend either of us."

After hearing this, the madam felt more and more that Yu Rui was right. If they exposed such a vicious man, who knows what his accomplices might come to seek revenge. She was just a brothel owner, so why should she interfere?

"Mom, after what happened, I'm a little tired. I want to take a day off today."

The fatigue on Yurui's face did not seem fake, and the madam understood in her heart that encountering such a scary thing was indeed extremely exhausting, and she was probably frightened.

"Okay, take a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, let Xiaohong take care of you."

She was actually very busy. When the officers and soldiers came here, she not only had to appease everyone, but also had to apologize to the guests who were disturbed in the private rooms.

"Come out."

After the people walked away, Zhao Qiqi walked out of the secret room. The space was a bit small and the oxygen was not sufficient. Zhao Qiqi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Thank you girl for saving my life."

"It's nothing. It's just a transaction between you and me. The money and goods are settled."

Zhao Qiqi was impressed by Yu Rui's passion and courage, and curiosity also arose in his heart. She was so bold and could remain calm even in such a situation. She must be an experienced person.

However, Zhao Qiqi did not think about it too much. She was very lucky to have the help of a noble person, so how could she spy on other people?

"I'm going to go out and investigate this matter. If anyone comes in, you go and hide. If I come back, knock on the door three times short and once long."

Yu Rui was about to go out. Zhao Qiqi thought for a moment and took out the hairpin he usually wore from the space: "Put it on when you go out. If someone recognizes you, try it out and then make a decision."

She kept it on her body first and put it on after she went out. The hairpin was plain and a bit worn out. The museum was full of shrewd people, and it would look awkward when she wore it on her body. One could tell at a glance that there was something wrong.

Yu Rui, wearing a veil, went to check the wanted poster first.

The Zhao family of Gujia Village, Qixian Town, and diners of Penglai Pavilion.

This Zhao was actually just a village woman, but she was able to take out a hundred taels of gold without hesitation. She must be extraordinary.

"Miss, where did the hairpin on your head come from?"

Li Yuzhu nervously held Yurui's hand, but felt offended and let go, feeling a little embarrassed, but the anxious look on her face was ready to show: "But..."

Just after uttering a word, he quickly looked around and lowered his voice to say, "But is it due?"

It was obviously incongruous for such a young and beautiful woman to wear such a hairpin, but she chose to wear it in the most conspicuous place. Although this hairpin was plain, she had hardly seen anyone else wearing it, so she guessed that it was very likely that Zhao Qiqi was trying to contact them.
