Chapter 142: The Visiting Lord Xiangguo
"If you hadn't done that, you wouldn't have been taken by them." Xu Wen couldn't say anything more, after all, Li Zhutou was in a bad mood now.
He turned around, looked at Li Zhutou's weak wife, and instructed the two guards, "You two, send Li Zhutou's wife to the mansion to recuperate, these days, the outside is not complete." You also live in my house, Li Zhutou. β
Li Zhutou bent down and said respectfully: "Listen to Lord Xu." β
At first, he didn't think he was in any danger, and even without the protection of these guards, he wouldn't be fine.
But now, he doesn't think so anymore, as long as it is what Xu Wen said, it must be right. Xu Wen said that his home is very dangerous now, so it must be dangerous.
"As for that Yang Tian, don't worry about him for the time being, it's just a dog of the Zhang family, and if you move down the Zhang family, he will naturally fall." Xu Wen exhaled.
He paused, telling the guards to leave first.
Leave Li Zhutou behind.
Li Zhutou knew that Xu Wen had something to tell him, so he stood aside and waited respectfully for Xu Wen to speak.
After the people around him had left and made sure that there was no one, Xu Wencai turned around, looked at Li Zhutou, and said seriously: "You have a friend who has been giving you news, right?" β
Li Zhutou paused, nodded and said, "Yes, the last time someone came to the house to assassinate me, it was he who reported to me in advance, and I escaped." β
"This time, too. That friend of yours told me that someone was going to do something to you, so I should hurry up and save you. Can you let me meet him, if we can get his help, we will be very advantageous. β
Li Zhutou shook his head, "In this case, he will not betray his owner, the reason why he helped me is because I saved his life." β
"Okay, I see." Xu Wen nodded, and then asked, "Then this friend of yours is from the Zhang family?" β
Li Zhutou frowned, and when he was about to speak, Xu Wen waved his hand, "Forget it, you don't have to say it." If you don't say it, there will be less danger for him. β
Li Zhutou saved the day twice, both because of that friend. That person can know so many things, which means that his status is not low.
It's a pity that there is no way to bring him over, otherwise, it will be much easier to deal with the Zhang family.
Xu Wen returned to the house with Li Zhutou and saw a man standing at the door, very cold.
"You are?" Xu Wen looked at the man suspiciously.
The man looked around a little timidly, and whispered to Xu Wen, "Lord Xu, I know how Mrs. Yu died. β
"Let's go, come in." Xu Wen said.
The man looked around, trotted and followed Xu Wen into the mansion.
Inside the main hall, the man was silent.
"Say." Xu Wen sat down and said, Li Zhutou stood aside.
"I can say that I just want to ask, is there any reward, and after I say it, Lord Xu can't arrest me." The man said greedily.
"Yes, as long as you say it and confirm that it is true, I will give you as much money as you want, is a hundred yuan enough?" Xu Wen asked.
The man's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded, "Enough is enough, a hundred times is enough!" β
"That's right, last night, I was hungry, and I really couldn't help it, so I went out to find something to eat. When I came to Mrs. Yu's house, I saw several men sneaking into her house, tying her up, and dragging her. β
"Really?" Xu Wen asked.
"It's true, it's true, I can testify."
Li Zhutou snorted coldly and kicked the man.
The man fell to the ground in fear, "Master Li, what I said is true!" β
"Nonsense! The wall of Mrs. Yu's house is two feet long, how do you see the situation in the house, and Mrs. Yu is dead in the house, you see her being dragged and hanged from the outside, is it possible, you have clairvoyance? Li Zhutou scolded.
The man grimaced, frightened.
"You're not telling the truth yet!" Xu Wen said coldly.
"I say, I say." The man knelt on the ground in fear, "After I say that, please don't arrest me." β
"As long as you tell the truth, I won't arrest you." Xu Wen planned to stabilize the man first.
"That's right, I met Mrs. Yu as early as half a year ago, and I have always had a relationship with her, I heard that her man died, so I went to her house in the middle of the night to comfort her. Who would have thought that a group of people suddenly came, I was so frightened that I hid in the cabinet, and I saw the group of people in the cabinet grabbing her and hanging her, I didn't dare to say a word, I was scared, but I didn't want her to die in vain, so I went here to find an adult. β
This sentence is quite like that.
Xu Wen looked at Li Zhutou and gave him a look.
Li Zhutou nodded, walked over and pulled up the man, "Go, go out with me." β
"My lord, my lord, what I said is true, it is all true. I don't want the money, you let me go, I promise I won't say it! The man shouted desperately, and a sense of despair welled up in his heart.
Xu Wen breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, this incident was actually bumped into by the woman's adulterer. Speaking of which, that woman is so good-looking, she is actually a slut, and she has an affair with someone else behind her back, and when this news spreads, her reputation will be completely ruined.
Perhaps, her man's death was caused by her.
This is the so-called lowly people have their own natural harvest, everything is her own cheapness, and she listened to the words of the Zhang family.
It's also time to kill the charter.
"Wang Hong." Xu Wen shouted.
Wang Hong walked in quickly.
"Eun Gong."
"You and Li Zhutou, find out this matter clearly, and don't let go of anyone related to this matter." When he had finished speaking, a man came outside.
The servant walked in and reported to Xu Wen, "My lord, Lu Xiangguo is here." β
"LΓΌ Buwei is here?" Xu Wen narrowed his eyes, wondering in his heart, why did Lu Buwei come uninvited?
Just as he was thinking, Lu Buwei's laughter sounded outside.
"Hahaha, Lord Xu." Lu Buwei walked in from the door, "How is Lord Xu lately?" β
"It's been good lately, thanks to the blessings of Lord Xiangguo. By the way, why did Lord Xiangguo suddenly come and not say it in advance? Xu Wen looked out and found that behind Lu Buwei, there were more than a dozen people who were bold, and it seemed that they were all gifts.
"This time, I came to thank Lord Xu." Lu Buwei said very politely, "Come on, bring everything in." β
"Thank me? What does Sangkoku-sama thank me for? Xu Wen was full of suspicion.
"Naturally, I am grateful for your life-saving grace to me before, that night, Chen Yin wanted to kill me, if it wasn't for Lord Xu's help, I would have died in Huangquan now, so naturally I have to thank Lord Xu." Lu Buwei said very hypocritically.
More than a dozen people walked in directly with gifts, put them in the main hall, and opened them to see that they were full of gold, silver, jewelry, precious calligraphy and paintings.
