So he quickly took a step back and said: "Your Excellency, I am not acquainted with these people. They are all thieves who robbed homes. I don't know who bribed them to kill me. Fortunately, I met your Excellency here and was spared." It’s difficult, otherwise I can’t imagine what the consequences would be.”

The reason why she didn't tell Qin's name was because she had no evidence now.

Accusing someone without evidence may end up being found to be a false accusation.

According to the laws of the Great Abyss, it is also sinful to falsely accuse others.

So Song Anning didn't dare to say it easily.

Pei Qingyan looked at her with serious eyes.

This man had obviously been fooled the last time he was at the farm, so why didn't he learn his lesson?

If she hadn't met him this time, as she said, she doesn't know what the consequences would have been.

Pei Qingyan did not reveal his identity in front of her.

He just said in a deep voice: "Someone will investigate this matter. Are you in serious trouble?"

Song Anning quickly said: "The civilian woman is fine."

Pei Qingyan nodded, "That's good. Since it's nothing serious, just wait here. If we catch that group of horse thieves, I will give you an explanation."

"Yes."

The two waited for a while.

Not long after, the group of subordinates came in.

They were all more or less stained with mud and water.

Although it had not rained outside, it had rained all night last night, so the road was still slippery and puddles could be seen everywhere, so a group of people looked quite embarrassed.

I saw Su Zian walking up to Pei Qingyan, cupping his hands and saying, "Sir, it's all because of the incompetence of my subordinates. Those people are very cunning, and their horses are very smart. I fought with them for a while, and accidentally..." They escaped."

Pei Qingyan looked at their embarrassed appearance, but he didn't criticize them too much.

"Go down and change your clothes. It's okay. This group of people has to raise people and horses, and they have no fixed place to live. If they don't succeed once, they will definitely do it again next time. When they have time, they will draw a few portraits and scatter them to all the major states. County, let the state officials pay attention and keep an eye on it.”

"Yes."

Song Anning naturally felt regretful for not catching the gang of horse thieves.

But it is not good to embarrass the people in the embroidery department too much.

Pei Qingyan looked at her embarrassed look and asked with concern: "Where are the maids around you? Are they not with you?"

Song Anning shook her head, "They only kidnapped me at that time, but I heard the search and rescue calls of my maid and the city gate officers before. I believe they are not far away."

"Okay, I'll send someone to help you look for it. If you find it, follow them back to the city. Don't stay outside the city anymore."

Song Anning nodded.

Pei Qingyan walked aside and ordered people to go.

Song Anning was actually a little disappointed as she watched him order his men to find people.

She originally thought that since Pei Qingyan met those horse thieves who were so arrogant and violated the law, he would not let them go unpunished and would use all his strength to pursue them.

This is in line with the style of work of their embroidery department.

But now, seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to investigate, she couldn't say anything more.

After all, she was lucky to be saved. The other party's refusal to investigate must have their own considerations. She shouldn't be too ignorant.

Pei Qingyan didn't notice what she was thinking.

After giving instructions to his subordinates, he waited with Song Anning in the post house.

Not long after, Dongqing, Poria and other people came over.

Surprisingly, Jiang Hua was also with them.

Jiang Hua received the news last night.

As soon as Song Anning was kidnapped, Dongqing sent Donglai back to report the news.

Regardless of whether the Qin family did this or not, the news had to be sent back. Jiang Hua, as Song Anning's nominal husband, couldn't ignore it, both emotionally and rationally.

Fortunately, Jiang Hua was unaware of Qin and others' plans.

He also just came back from Qingzhou. As soon as he came back, he heard that Song Anning had been kidnapped. He didn't even get off his horse and immediately followed them out to look for her.

After searching for a whole night, a group of people were exhausted physically and mentally. If they couldn't find it outside the city, they would go to other prefectures to search. Unexpectedly, they heard someone from the Embroidery Department say that Song Anning was in the post house here. .

It's not like they never came to the post house to look for it.

They came here at midnight last night.

But at that time, most of the guests were already asleep. Even if they were missing, the store had no reason to wake up all the guests to find them.

What's more, among these guests is the embroidery department that they can't afford to offend.

Jiang Hua also thought that since there were adults from the Embroidery Department resting here, those thieves would not be so bold and dared to live under the eyes of the officials, so he gave up the search.

But he didn't expect that he would miss the opportunity to find Song Anning.

Along the way, Su Zian had already communicated with Jiang Hua about yesterday's events. He learned that they had come to look for him but had missed it because he and others collapsed here. He couldn't help scratching his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I'm really sorry. We didn't expect this to happen. That group of horse thieves are habitual criminals and are very good at disguise. Plus, they came in later than us. After they came in, they went straight into the room and never came out again. However, if Miss Song hadn't deliberately made a noise to attract our attention this morning, we would have never known that there was a group of thieves living in the post house."

This matter really cannot be blamed on the embroidery department.

After all, they are also humans, not gods. They can pinch and calculate, and they can calculate that there will be horse thieves in the post house.

Jiang Hua had no intention of entangled with him at this time. He just wanted to rush to the post house to see if Song Anning was alright.

Fortunately, apart from some skin injuries and some suffering, Song Anning was fine.

Jiang Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Song Anning with all his beard and tail.

"Jiang would like to thank Mr. Pei here. Without Mr. Pei, my wife would be in trouble."

Pei Qingyan looked at Jiang Hua lightly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.

"Instead of thanking me here, Mr. Jiang, it is better to take care of the housework when you go back. You should know that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. It doesn't matter if you are camping alone. The important thing is to watch the people around you, otherwise if there is a fire in the backyard, If there is civil strife, won’t we fail in our efforts?”

Jiang Hua was stunned.

Some don't understand what he means.

Just as he was about to ask more questions, Pei Qingyan had just opened his mouth, but he had already climbed onto his horse, coldly pinched the horse's belly, said "drive", and led the people towards the official road.

Jiang Hua: "..."

His questions were stuck in his throat, and in the end, he could only swallow them back.

Turning back, he looked at Song Anning and asked with concern: "Can you still ride a horse?"

Yesterday, Dongqing and Poria came to see her. Driving a carriage was too slow, but riding a horse was faster. Of course, they came here on horseback.

So if Song Anning wants to go back with them now, she can only ride a horse.

Song Anning nodded, "Okay."

Dongqing said: "Miss, I will ride with you."

With that said, he brought his horse over.

However, Jiang Hua said with a cold face: "No need."

Then he grabbed Song Anning's waist, turned over, and let her ride on the horse with him.
