After rebirth, Jiaojiao Cook and Silly Marquis counterattacked

"It's okay. It's best if I can help. If you can't help, forget it." Qin Han didn't think there was anything, and he didn't know what it was that made everyone in Yancheng feel in danger.

From Qin Hao's description, Dong Qian realized that because they captured Wan Fuchun in Fucheng, the city lords of several surrounding cities were under strict investigation. Of course, the city lord of Yancheng was not in the city now.

As the saying goes, without the city lord, Yancheng would be like a piece of loose sand without a leader.

I don’t know when it started, but frequent thefts occurred in Yancheng. It might only be a few taels of silver at the beginning, but later the entire home would be ransacked.

Because the city lord was not here, the people in the city lord's mansion didn't know how to deal with such a matter. They caught him several times but failed to catch him.

Moreover, these people steal things without any pattern, so no one knows who will be next.

"No wonder they kept watching when we came back just now." Dong Qian just now figured out what was going on. Maybe the Qin family would be the one to be robbed next time.

Because of things like this, people in every household will be extra careful, but no one can stay awake at night.

As a result of this incident, the business of Haohan Restaurant also plummeted.

Some wealthy families can hire guards to guard them. Those families who are relatively poor do not have this ability, but they are also the most vulnerable to being robbed.

"It's so abominable!" Dong Qian couldn't help clenching her fists and slamming the table hard.

Qin Han and Qin Hao were both startled by her actions. Dong Qian took her hand back in embarrassment. She was indeed a little excited.

But judging from Qin Hao's description just now, these people simply have no bottom line. If they rob the rich and give to the poor, it means they have principles, but if they specifically pick on the poor, it will push people to death.

Because no matter what, the Chinese New Year is approaching now, and even families who are usually very poor will have some savings to prepare for the New Year at this time.

If this year had not passed yet, the house would have been looted.

For them, there is no difference between this and annihilation, except that their lives are still in their own hands.

"Now that the city lord is away, everyone is in danger. If we don't catch this group of thieves, I'm afraid this year will not be stable." Dong Qian's words make sense.

Qin Han and Qin Hao thought so too, and then Qin Hao handed over the results of his investigation during this period to them, "These were found in the homes of those who were robbed."

On the paper were two shoe rubbings. Of course, they had been stolen from so many houses, and the only clues that could be found were these two. Dong Qian felt a little strange. This one was a big footprint, and the other was very small and almost like a shoe. No.

"You can tell the person's height and weight from the depth of the footprints. Although it's not accurate, you can still get a rough idea. The person with this small footprint may not even be 1.5 meters tall..."

Unless such a person is a child, he or she is a patient with dwarfism.

Dwarfism is quite noticeable in the city, but it's also a bit weird for a child to steal things.

"Everyone only cares about protecting their own things, so when other people's things are robbed, they are almost indifferent, so it is impossible to catch this person." Qin Hao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

These two footprints were difficult to find because of the soft soil on a rainy day.

Moreover, Qin Hao is not from the City Lord's Mansion, so conducting his own investigation without authorization will cause dissatisfaction from some people. After all, he may not be able to find anything by himself.

"If you want to catch these two people, you still need a bait." Qin Han thinks so. These two people are very good at stealing things, but it is not that easy to escape.

The tracking skills of the secret guards are very powerful. It is impossible to slip away from them, as long as they can lure these two people over.

"But you heard just now that their targets are not those rich families, they are all ordinary people. Even we are considered to have small assets."

"Maybe they are not interested in the silver coins and valuables, maybe they just want to see people suffer."

Qin Hao nodded at the side, "That's right. The houses that were robbed before were either full of chaos or someone wanted to hang himself. In short, the life was very chaotic."

In this case, there is no way to lock on one of the targets for protection, their actions are all random.

Qin Han couldn't help but feel a little distressed. When he saw this, Qin Hao said: "Well, you just came back and you shouldn't worry about these things. Why not take a rest first. Maybe you will have some good ideas in your mind after a while."

It is true that this matter requires long-term consideration and cannot be concluded in a short while.

But Dong Qian still wanted to go back and have a look. Qin Han had a headache, so Dong Qian asked him to rest while she got on the carriage and prepared to go back to Dong's house.

Along the way, Dong Qian looked around curiously. People in the city were walking in a hurry. She didn't dare to show anything she bought, for fear that she would be targeted by thieves tonight.

Dong Qian sat in the carriage and thought for a long time, but she really didn't have any good ideas. The only way was to place a guard in everyone's home, but this method couldn't last long, after all, no one could go without rest for a long time.

Following the previous route back to Dong's house, Dong Qian and Wang hugged each other tightly, "Why does the girl look like she has lost a lot of weight? Did she not eat well?"

Dong Chenglin and Dong Kailiang helped to unload the things from the carriage. Dong Qian curled her lips helplessly and said: "How is it possible? I am just a cook. How can I not eat well?"

The family chatted very enthusiastically. Dong Qian looked at her father curiously, "How is the farm recently?"

"I told you not to worry. I have used all the methods you mentioned before, and all the potatoes I planted before were bought by the people from the city lord, so I made a lot of money." Dong Kailiang was very happy.

Although he had supported this family before, now that Dong Qian is here, he doesn't have to work so hard.

Previously, I watched He and Wang open a snack shop to make money, but now his farm is also improving, and everything is developing in a good direction.

"How much did you earn?" Dong Qian was a little curious. They were all a family anyway, so there was nothing to hide behind asking such questions.

After that, Dong Kailiang brought over the previous account book. Dong Qian was stunned by the numbers on it. This was not profitable at all. It was almost just hard-earned money.

It is impossible for such a large farm to be occupied by just Dong Kailiang and his brother. The money earned is divided among these hired men, and the rest is only a few dozen taels.

It takes time for things to grow, and if they split a few dozen taels of silver between the two of them, it wouldn't be much.

Although he earned more than Dong Kailiang before, Dong Qian felt that the city lord was too shady.
