Chapter 1175: Chapter 1175 Someone Has Ideas About the Escort Agency
The Third Scoundrel whispered, "Heās unconscious, the fever wonāt break, heās not going to last much longer anyway."
As he spoke, he glanced up, his voice even lower, "Weāre just thinking of taking him out, leaving him somewhere, letting him fend for himself, so we brothers can move in earlier."
Shu Yu listened, raising an eyebrow, looking at them with a half-smile.
The Third Scoundrelās heart skipped a beat, "You donāt believe me?"
"I donāt believe you."
"But Iām telling the truth, really." He pointed to his companions behind him, "If you donāt believe me, ask them, Iām not lying to you."
Shu Yu sighed, and behind her, Ying Xi was already bringing over a chair. Shu Yu gave her a āgood jobā look, then sat comfortably before asking, "You say youāre telling the truth, then can you tell me about the origin of this Quansheng Escort Agency? Just a few small-time crooks like you dare to target this place? Are you kidding me? Arenāt you afraid of that big official in the capital?"
The staff behind her nodded repeatedly, indeed, indeed, this house is related to Lord Gong in the capital, itās something few in Tianning County donāt know.
Although there were people eyeing this house before, they all had some ability, planning to go through legitimate channels. Even if the old beggar dies, with the Third Scoundrelās behavior, wanting to take over this house? Theyāre dreaming.
The Third Scoundrel instinctively replied, "Didnāt that big official in the capital get beheaded?"
Shu Yu narrowed her eyes, "Where did you hear he was beheaded?"
The staffās eyes widened, "Lord Gong was beheaded? When did this happen?"

Information spreads very slowly these days. Though the affair of Gong Qiu was a big deal, Shu Yu was sure that in a small county town like Tianning, within a month, it hadnāt reached the point where everyone knows.
See, even this staff at the inn hadnāt heard yet?
Only then did the Third Scoundrel realize he spoke too fast and quickly lowered his head.
"Not talking? Then Iāll have to use force." Shu Yu stood up, placed a foot on his hand, and slowly ground it down.
The Third Scoundrelās face changed drastically, "Ah, it hurts, it hurts, stop stepping on it, Iāll talk, Iāll talk, okay?"
A hooligan like him isnāt particularly brave, a little suffering and heād confess everything.
He swallowed, then said, "Itās not like us brothers couldnāt find work in the county town, so we thought of going to the prefecture. With the docks bustling with people, maybe we could find something to do, so a few days ago, we went to the prefecture."
The staff sneered, couldnāt find work? Itās because the county townās people know their reputations, and as soon as they see them coming, they stay far away, so likely the Third Scoundrel and his group went to the prefecture to pickpocket.
"Huajiang Prefecture is very prosperous, ships come and go frequently at the docks, we strolled around the prefecture, but who knew we accidentally offended someone." The Third Scoundrelās voice dropped at this point, actually, they were caught red-handed while stealing someoneās money.
"That person wanted to turn us over to the authorities, so we brothers definitely had to escape. Later that person said, they could give us a chance. If we could take over Quansheng Escort Agency for him, he would not only let us go but also give us a sum of money."
"But the old beggar was guarding Quansheng Escort Agency, and it was linked to Lord Gong in the capital, we didnāt dare. It was that person who told us that Lord Gong was beheaded, we just needed to deal with the old beggar."
