I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Chapter 337: Staying in a Hotel and Meeting a Scumbag 1

She heard this from Fang Youfu. Since Tao Chang wanted to host a banquet for them, and the two scholars who knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm kept pestering Bai Jingzhou and others, Gu Wenxuan did not take the initiative to ask.

Bai Jingzhou sighed, "We were lucky enough to catch up this time and rescued the person. I don't know if there were other people who were robbed by them before this."

These people only hurt people and rob money, they don't take people's lives. Besides, they are active in a no-man's land, so the three county governments don't want to get involved in this matter.

According to Bai Jingzhou's speculation, there should have been victims who had reported the case to the county government before, but because no one was killed, the three county governments probably chose to pass the buck like they did this time and simply did nothing.

"I hope they can take this case seriously." Bai Jingzhou blew out the oil lamp and fumbled to lie down beside Gu Wenxuan. "The people have been handed over to them. If they don't make some achievements, they will really have to go home and sell sweet potatoes."

Gu Wenxuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Four scholars filed a complaint together, and Master Tao threatened to bring the case to the provincial government. They have to do something to rectify the situation, or else they will all be charged with dereliction of duty if the matter gets out of hand."

This road is the only way for many scholars to go to Daming Prefecture. If the county government continues to be lazy and negligent in its administration, allowing more scholars to be robbed, if there are one or two scholars as hot-tempered as Tao Chang, the officials and yamen runners of the three surrounding counties will be in trouble.

When it does not involve their own vital interests, they can pass the buck and pretend to be confused, but when it comes to their own vital interests, Gu Wenxuan believes that even if they have cursed Tao Chang and others in their hearts, they still have to make Tao Chang and others get what they want in action.

Early the next morning, the two scholars who wanted to take advantage of the situation packed up their things and waited at the door of the inn.

They wanted to follow Bai Jingzhou and others' team and let them serve as their free bodyguards.

Bai Jingzhou didn't mind them following behind his convoy, as long as they didn't come up to him and fool him like a fool. He didn't care whether they left early or late, or whether they followed behind their convoy.

Compared with those two men, Tao Chang seemed a little stupid. While others were waiting for Bai Jingzhou and others to lead the way, Tao Chang happily asked his coachman to drive the carriage to the front of Bai Jingzhou and his team's convoy.

Su Yunzhan and Hua Zhihe's carriages followed closely behind, while the three injured scholars still rode in Tao Chang's carriage and traveled with Bai Jingzhou and the others.

Compared to the two who treated them as fools, Bai Jingzhou still preferred people like Tao Chang and Su Yunzhan who didn't have so many little thoughts. He glanced at Fang Youfu, and Fang Youfu immediately went riding with Fang Youliang.

The two of them rode their horses on the left and right at the front of the convoy, responsible for protecting weak scholars such as Tao Chang and Su Yunzhan.

Fang Yougen and Fang Yougui took over the two's original positions and were responsible for driving the carriage during the journey.

The group traveled during the day and slept at night, and experienced rainy weather on the way, but finally arrived at Daming Prefecture safely.

That night, because the rain delayed the group's journey, they found an inn with a sign that read "Xinglong" in Jingchuan Town, more than 30 miles away from Daming Prefecture.

Xinglong Inn is one of the three largest inns in the town. It is large enough, but its internal facilities are simpler than those of the other two inns of the same size. That is why they still have enough empty rooms to accommodate Bai Jingzhou's large team.

Just like before, Bai Jingzhou and his team asked for a spacious courtyard to live in, and Tao Chang and his team also stayed in the upper room of the inn.

Everyone settled down in the inn. Seeing that it was still early, Bai Jingzhou took Gu Wenxuan and others to the inn lobby to order food.

What he didn't expect was that when he just went to order some food, his sister Bai Jingxin was targeted by a playboy who came from nowhere.

Perhaps because he saw that the three girls were accompanied by only Bai Jingzhou, a "weak scholar", the dandy young man who had been sitting by the window drinking and eating, suddenly walked towards their table, swaying with every step, waving his folding fan.

If it were just that, it would be fine, but this person was still laughing and trying to sit next to Bai Jingxin.

Bai Jingzhou's heart quickly burned with anger. Just as he was about to make a move, Gu Wenxuan, who was sitting next to him, stretched out her right foot and kicked the wooden stool that the man was trying to sit on away with great speed and accuracy.

Jia Yuelan was also very quick. She reached out and pulled Bai Jingxin, who was looking surprised and disgusted, towards her.

Bai Jingxin stood up with the force she exerted, and then took two steps to the left with her, narrowly avoiding the strange scholar who fell backwards and hit the ground hard.

"What do you want to do?" Bai Jingzhou's eyes were cold. He looked down at the disgusting thing that was crying out in pain, "If you don't get out of here, don't blame us for being rude to you!"

When the servants brought by that man saw this scene, their previous obscene smiles suddenly turned into panic. They rushed over shouting and yelling, asking "Master, are you okay?" while glaring at Bai Jingzhou and the others fiercely.

Bai Jingzhou and his men were not afraid of just two evil servants. The four of them stared coldly at the master and his three servants, ready to beat them all up if they had a disagreement.

The three men felt the fierce murderous aura emanating from Bai Jingzhou, Gu Wenxuan, and Jia Yuelan, and immediately dared not threaten anyone with their eyes anymore.

They realized belatedly that this group of people might be difficult to deal with. After a brief consideration, the drunken dandy left in shame along with his two servants.

The two men supported him, one on each side, and the three of them didn't even bother to finish their meal and went straight back to their own inn.

Fang Youfu and others arrived a little late and missed the tense confrontation between the two sides, but saw the resentful looks on the faces of the master and servants who had their backs to Bai Jingzhou and others.

Fang Youfu whispered to Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou about the three men's ferocious expressions, "I'm worried that they will do something weird again."

Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan also had this doubt. After they looked at each other, Gu Wenxuan said to Fang Youfu, "Uncle, you stay here with Yuelan and Jingxin. Jingzhou and I have something to go out for."

Fang Youfu understood, nodded and said to the two of them: "Then you should go early and come back early."

Bai Jingzhou and Gu Wenxuan then swaggered out of the inn under the gaze of the onlookers.

With drizzle on their heads and bluestone slabs wet by the rain under their feet, they quickly passed through the deserted narrow alley and took a detour to the wall of the backyard of the inn.

Gu Wenxuan found the right location, and the two of them, one in front and one behind, climbed over the wall and entered the small courtyard where their group was staying.

Coincidentally, when they crossed the courtyard and arrived at the gate, they just happened to hear the dandy young man cursing Gu Wenxuan who kicked the stool away through the door.
