Chapter 303
"Bring the portrait!"
It unfolded with a clatter, and the man looked at it carefully.
After Qin Zhongwan dressed up, the original features were completely obliterated. The portrait was already distorted, and the makeup and powder she applied made it even more confusing to the human eye.
The corners of Zhao Jingwen's silly smile were frozen. He was secretly impatient, his palms were itchy, and he wanted to take action.
There were about twelve or three people in the courtyard. Zhao Jingwen thought about it in his mind and took action to spend some effort.
Qin Zhongwan stood by the door, with his hands behind his back, and quietly gestured to Gu Siyuan on the bed, asking him to wait and see what would happen.
There was silence for a long time, and tension quietly filled the silence.
The leader impatiently threw the scroll back to the people behind him, and only said, "I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go and capture him."
Magistrate Lin had already experienced the power of Gu Siyuan and the others. Otherwise, they would have fallen into the hands of the thieves long ago, and he would not have had to waste all his efforts to find them even after digging three feet into the ground.
He had already ordered him to go down and would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.
Finally, still unable to escape, Qin Zhongwan regained her composure. Her body tensed subconsciously and she put down the hand behind her back.
The atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, and the smile at the corner of Zhao Jingwen's mouth disappeared completely. When he had a dull expression on his face, the wrinkles on his face made people laugh, but his eyes were filled with a strong aura of murder.
"Is there any reason left?!"
The old woman's crutch fell heavily to the ground, and the muffled sound seemed to hit the apex of people's hearts.
The man frowned, "Where did this old woman come from?"
"Grandma Li, why are you here?" Qin Zhongwan saw it and his heart tightened. It was Grandma Li who lived next door with a granddaughter. Her granddaughter had a high fever two days ago. Qin Zhongwan couldn't stand it and refused to take any money. , boiled the medicine and delivered it for two days.
Grandma Li's granddaughter recovered from her high fever that day and seemed to be able to get up this morning.
What Qin Zhongwan never expected was that it was not only the next door neighbor's Grandma Li who stood up.
"Miss Qin, don't be afraid. The people living in our alley are ordinary people, but we can't let outsiders bully us!"
"Brother Zhou..." Qin Zhongwan didn't know what to say for a moment.
"My lord, Miss Qin, her husband, and her idiot brother are living in poverty. My lord, if you think they are pitiful, just let them go!"
The poor scholar who lived at the end of the street had a slightly softer temper. His tone was tactful, but he really stood up and spoke for Qin Zhongwan and the others.
Voice after voice came from the crowd, all of which were familiar faces.
Living here, it is inevitable to deal with people. Qin Zhongwan has always been cautious and never caused trouble. Sometimes people in the alley will kindly help him with ordinary minor problems, and he will not take any money.
The good karma she accumulated finally saved their lives at a critical moment.
The small courtyard was surrounded at some point, and some bloody men directly moved farm tools from home and placed them generously on the spot.
Being stared at by dozens of pairs of eyes made even the person searching the place feel a little creepy.
"Sir, there are only two men and one woman on the left and right, and they don't look much like the ones in the portraits. How about we search somewhere else as soon as possible?"
"Save yourself wasting time here."
The words sounded nice, but they couldn't hide their retreat.
"Then I'll let you go!" The man thought he was arrogant, but in fact he had a guilty conscience. After saying these words, he led the people away, much faster than before coming.
