He didn’t expect to fail in his duty when his mistress trusted him and had always left the restaurant’s matters to him to handle.

“We’ve fed these ungrateful bastards porridge for so long, but they’re biting back in the end.” Zhou Ying was pissed.

“I’ll have to report this to the authorities,” she turned around and said.

“No need; it’s no use as they’ve already run away.” Fang Qing shook his head. “How is it useless? If we report this to the authorities, at least the officers and soldiers will strengthen their patrols. The rest of those refugees won’t dare act so openly again.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned around and went to Tian Jingzhong, informing him of the situation.

Tian Jingzhong sighed and said, “To be honest, three families in town reported the case this morning. I heard some rich families in the village below were also robbed.”

“There are only 50 soldiers assigned to our town, so we can’t take care of everything, so you have to strengthen your protection yourself.”

“So, the refugees planned this group attack?”

…..

“Yes, a group of people likely wants to go south, so they are taking as much as possible before leaving.”

“Then what if we catch them?”

“You can do whatever you want. I’ll go to the warehouse where the refugees are staying and give them a warning.

“Whoever tries to rob again will be dealt with dead or alive, and the government won’t care.”

“I’m relieved to hear that. I’ll leave you to your work.” After Zhou Ying finished their discussion, she turned around and walked out of the office just in time to meet the patriarch, who was coming up in a hurry.

“Grandpa, you are…”

“Oh, Zhou Ying. I’ll report something first, and we’ll talk later.” The patriarch ran into the office after he finished speaking.

Zhou Ying didn’t stop him; she stood aside and waited for him.

Sure enough, after a while, the patriarch came out with a dejected look. After seeing Zhou Ying, he stopped and asked, “Are you here to make a police report too?”

“That’s right. My restaurant was almost robbed yesterday. Fortunately, it was stopped in time, and we didn’t suffer a big loss. What happened in the village?” Zhou Ying asked.

“It’s our oil mill. More than 100 pounds of peanut oil and about 1,000 pounds of biscuits were stolen.” At this point, the patriarch continued with a face of annoyance, “It’s also because we stopped production that we neglected that side of the mill. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have lost so many.”

“It’s not all your fault. Who would’ve thought that it would be a bunch of backstabbers?

“It’s better to store your goods in multiple locations or distribute them to everyone. Or else, it will attract thieves.”

“That’s true. I’ll try to see what I can do after I go back.” The patriarch nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while before the patriarch left for Gu Ziyi’s house.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying returned to the restaurant and began to prepare large bamboo skewers. Since Constable Tian had said that he wouldn’t pursue the matter if the robbers were beaten to death, she had nothing to worry about.

That night, the couple stayed at the restaurant.

However, perhaps Tian Jingzhong’s warning had an effect; the town was calm for three days in a row as more refugees left.

It wasn’t until the night of the fifth day, when everyone’s guard was down, that someone finally came through the back door.

The tear-inducing powder that fell from the top of the door was the first thing that went off. The robbers choked, coughed, and yelled as soon as the powder was everywhere.

Next was a wave of bamboo-made mechanisms. Although it wouldn’t cause serious injuries, it would definitely draw blood.

As a result, chaos ensued, and the robber cried miserably.

It immediately woke up the residents in the restaurant, and they immediately ran out.

When Zhou Ying and her husband came out, some people were still stuck near the back entrance, while others rushed to the warehouse.

Zhou Ying immediately took out a crossbow and shot at the leg of the person in the warehouse.

At the same time, Gu Chengrui rushed forward with a bamboo pole..
