Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

Chapter 238 Butler

There was a knock on the door of Su's house.

"Boom boom boom——"

"Miss! I'm back!"

A familiar voice sounded, it was Qingshan.

At this critical moment, everyone tacitly agreed not to climb over the wall, for fear that their own people would hurt each other, and everyone entered through the main gate instead.

Su Chengnan went forward and asked, "What's the situation?!"

As soon as she asked, she saw someone following Qingshan in, and she exclaimed in surprise.

Why would he come here at this time?

"Miss Su, the city lord asked me to come and tell you the news!" Han Liping's housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and walked over quickly to salute.

He gasped, and said in fear, "I almost died under the knife just now. Luckily, Master Qingshan showed up and saved me. Otherwise, I would have lost my life. It was a close call!"

"Butler, how did you get here?"

"What's going on outside? Is the city lord okay?"

Su Chengnan now has a lot of questions to ask, and his speaking speed is several times faster than usual.

The housekeeper's expression changed completely, and he said confidently, "Miss, there's no need to worry too much. The city lord has already issued an order, ordering the officers and soldiers to wipe them out at all costs."

"But I haven't heard any sound of resistance outside." Su Chengnan said worriedly.

A hint of strangeness flashed across the butler's eyes. He thought he had concealed it well, but it was still caught by the sharp Su Chengnan.

"There are fewer bandits here, and the chaos is still concentrated in the west of the city. The troops are mainly concentrating on clearing that side, but I believe that if we give it a little more time, it will be fine."

"I hope so."

"Your house is well-prepared and will be safe! I still need to inform a few other families, so I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

"Okay, take care! Uncle Fu will see you off."

Su Chengnan looked at his back as he walked away and fell into deep thought.

A moment later, the secret guard came to report, "Miss, the steward of the City Lord's Mansion really went to the Zhang residence next door, and then went to the Song family."

"Well, it seems that what he said is true. Go ahead and do your work. Be careful."

"Yes, I am resigning."

Qingshan approached and lowered his voice, "Miss, I think there's something wrong with this City Lord's Mansion."

Su Chengnan's eyelids twitched. She also felt the same way. "Tell me more about it."

Qingshan continued, "Normally, with such a large disturbance in the city, the City Lord's Mansion's troops should have been dispatched quickly to suppress it. But now, apart from our Su residence and a few surrounding households, there's no sign of any officers or soldiers."

Su Chengnan nodded and agreed with Qingshan's opinion.

"Indeed, the City Lord's Housekeeper suddenly visited us and specifically mentioned that the City Lord had already issued an order to eliminate the thieves. This is too much of a coincidence."

"Miss, I suspect that the City Lord's Mansion may be colluding with the thieves." Qingshan's voice was low, revealing a hint of worry.

Su Chengnan frowned, she had the same doubt in her heart, "If this is true, then our Su residence is in danger. We must find out the truth as soon as possible."

"I'll go check it out again."

"Yi Er!" Su Chengnan shouted!

"You two go together, be careful! Come back quickly if anything goes wrong."

"Yes!" The two left together.

……

The alley outside Su's house.

The secret guard Xiao Chen returned covered in blood with seven brothers and a child.

"I'll send the child back to the house first, you guys hold on!"

"Do not worry."

The child had just been frightened, and now he was held in his arms, clutching his clothes tightly and refusing to let go. His whole little face looked a little distorted because of his clenched teeth.

"It's me, open the door." Xiao Chen called out.

A creak.

Almost at the same time, the door was opened a crack from the inside.

He handed the child over and stood at the doorway, saying, "The alley has been cleared, but the main street is still very chaotic. These people are very skilled in martial arts and are not ordinary people."

The fat man looked at him covered in blood and said anxiously, "Let's switch shifts! I also want to stretch my legs. You guys come back and apply the medicine first!"

Xiao Chen shook his head and said, "Fat brother, this blood belongs to someone else. We brothers cherish our lives! Don't worry, just take care of your family." After saying that, he turned and ran away.

The fat man stamped his feet and said, "Hey, why don't you listen!"

He was still worried, so he turned around and reported to Su Chengnan.

"Miss, let me take some people to switch shifts with Xiao Chen and the others. We have more people, so we can take turns."

"Okay, go ahead! Be careful."

"Okay, I've been itching to do it for a while!" The fat man chuckled a few times, pointed to a few brothers and left quickly.

After the fat man went out, he found that the servants and guards sent by several other families were cleaning up. The corpses lying all over the place had been piled together to make space for everyone to move around.

"The eldest lady has ordered you to go back! It's our turn now." The fat man said concisely.

"What are you doing!" Xiao Chen was dissatisfied.

"Hey, brother, I'm helping you guys, and you still say I'm messing around? Get out of here, hurry back and apply some medicine. Look at your arms, they're all bruised. Let's go! Hurry up!"

"us……"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up. You didn't even listen to the young lady's orders, did you?" The fat man glared.

The others were at their wit's end. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and said, "Be careful, the opponent's skills are no worse than Big Brother's! Don't be careless. If you have more people, use a formation. It will be more effective."

"I got it, don't worry." The fat man was holding a weapon and was ready.

Just as several people were talking.

The doors of several other houses were opened a crack, and figures quickly rushed in and out.

These people suddenly withdrew!

By the time Xiao Chen and the others reacted, only their secret guards were left in the streets.

"What's going on? Where are they?!" Xiao Chen held the knife tightly, looked ahead vigilantly, frowned and tilted his head slightly to ask his companion.

Everyone looked at each other.

Someone recalled: "It seems that everyone was called back?"

"Damn it! What are they doing?!" the other person's tone was full of dissatisfaction and impatience.

"What should I do?"

Xiao Chen and the fat man looked at each other and felt that this matter was not simple.

He randomly pointed at one of his men and said, "Go tell the young lady the news." Then he turned to look at the fat man and said, "We'll guard the end of the alley. This place is left to you, Fatty."

"no problem!"

Su Chengnan and Bingsan, upon learning of this, had a hunch that something was wrong. Su Chengnan's brows furrowed, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

Bing San, holding his sword, was about to leave immediately: "I'll go over and take a look."

Su Chengnan stopped him, "Wait! Go ask where the City Lord's Housekeeper is now."

Bing San suddenly realized, "Let me ask the brother who's following us. Miss, please wait a moment."

Su Chengnan nodded. She stood there, forcing herself to calm down and think carefully about what Han Liping was trying to do...

Killing for money?

Are you colluding with others inside and outside and planning to rebel?

Or what?
