"There are even detailed records in the civil law, those who sell slightly, those who cause injuries and disabilities, their wives and children are exiled for 3,000 miles, senior sister, you may not know, this Wukun County is ten miles further north. It is a small number of territories, although they are also within the scope of our Jin Dynasty, but most of them do not obey the law.

Even now, they still retain the custom of worshipping the heavens every year, and the items they worship are neither chickens, ducks, fish, nor candy and biscuits, but living children. But they live in the deep mountains and swamps all year round, and the court really has no way to deal with them.

It is recorded in the books alone, and there are more than a dozen ethnic minorities around Wukun County who go deep into the mountains. So even if you don't say anything else, there are at least a dozen people who fill in the lives of these people every year.

So there is no such thing as offending at all, as long as the ledger evidence of their transaction is obtained, as long as it is proved that the lonely family is involved. The lonely family will no longer exist, and there will be no revenge or retaliation at all, senior sister, you don't have to worry about these things at all. ”

Li Xie said so, but he himself knew that this was actually just words to comfort Cao Ying. The Lonely Family has a large population, and it is extremely difficult to prove that they are all involved in this matter, so it is impossible to directly use this matter to hollow out the Lonely Family.

So after the incident comes out, their revenge will definitely follow. Besides, there is certainly no lone family behind such a large human trafficking organization. There will definitely be others, and the number of people involved in this person is extremely large.

But even so, Li Xie didn't have the slightest worry, because he believed that he was holding the emperor's thigh, and ordinary people couldn't move themselves at all. Even if you put this aside, just relying on the Xicheng Wharf that he built single-handedly, relying only on this Xicheng Wharf, the number of people, connections and wealth that Li Xie has in his hands are not something that ordinary families can handle.

Even if the lonely family is a behemoth, if you want to move Li Xie, you have to think about the consequences. Unless it is an assassination, if Li Xie cannot be killed in one fell swoop, then the ensuing revenge, even a lonely family, will have to break his bones.

Xicheng Wharf has only been established for a few months, and in just a few months, the scope of commerce he has been involved in has been very extensive, almost covering most of the commercial goods in Luo Tianfu. In the face of such a huge business system, the personnel and connections involved are very complex.

Even if all these people are just businessmen, but with the collusion of power and wealth, Li Xie is confident that he can pull down the lonely family just by relying on this Xicheng wharf.

So although Li Xie said such things now by comforting him, if he really moved his real character, he would really have no fear.

"But......" Cao Ying opened her mouth to say something, Cao Ying didn't say that she didn't care about this matter, but felt that there was no need to investigate deeply. As long as these people who directly trafficked human beings are arrested, this matter will be completed.

Li Xie interrupted Cao Ying directly: "The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, it's just a matter of not knowing such a thing, but now that I have met him, how can he not care?" ”

Li Xie knew what Cao Ying meant, but he knew better that if it was just to eradicate these people on the surface, then as long as those people behind the scenes were still there. It is also easy to establish such an organization, which is only a symptom and does not have any effect.

Cao Ying saw Li Xie's tough attitude, and she didn't know what to say for a while. But she still felt that her method was the best, and with Cao Ying's intelligence, of course she knew, but it would not be of much use to eradicate these people on the surface. But she felt that it didn't matter, eradicating these people on the bright side was also a kind of beating for those people from the family.

That way they won't be so arrogant when they do such things in the future. And on the other hand, he didn't completely offend these families to death, he didn't involve them, and he sold them face, and there will definitely be revenge, but it will definitely be in moderation.

This is the so-called trade-off that Cao Ying learned to weigh the pros and cons when she grew up in the family. There is no need to do many things all at once, you can do one part of it first, and then do the other part when your strength is stronger.

This is conducive to their future development, and will not put themselves in danger, and at the same time, the matter has been temporarily resolved, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone. This is only a temporary retreat, and it can even be said to be a ploy to protect herself, in fact, as far as her own true emotions are concerned, she also hates this kind of concession and this so-called conspiracy, but there is no way to be in this world, if you want to survive, you have to do it.

But at this time, looking at Li Xie's tough attitude, Cao Ying suddenly seemed to understand why she was so different from her junior brother. Why do I hate almost all the men in my family who are about the same age as me, but I only have a good impression of myself, a junior brother who has only been in contact with him for a short time.

Because this junior brother has lived as he ideally, he is not swayed by anything, he will do what he should do, and he will follow the path of thousands of people, which is a kind of character and a way to live.

Cao Ying admires her junior brother's way of living, and at the same time, she is also very worried about her junior brother's way of living. Rather than give in is a very valuable quality, but in the face of such a world, this quality often really breaks itself. Cao Ying didn't want Li Xie to have an accident, even if the two hadn't been in contact for a long time, but she just didn't want Li Xie to have an accident. It is precisely because of this psychology that Cao Ying insisted on his opinion so much in front of him for the first time. So after seeing Li Xie's reply, he stopped talking, and Cao Ying didn't say anything anymore, but his attitude was very clear there.

Li Xie and Cao Ying usually have an extremely tacit understanding, although they have only known each other for a few months, in fact, the time to communicate and understand each other is not even a few days. But it can be seen from the two of them lurking in this small courtyard that the two of them can make each other understand their intentions with just one look.

The tacit understanding is like the two of them, which is really rare. But now the two of them have a disagreement for the first time because of one thing, even if Li Xie knows that Cao Ying is really thinking about it for her own good, but the disagreement is a disagreement.

Li Xie's concept feels that if Cao Ying is really thinking about herself, then she should support herself instead of putting forward different opinions to influence herself. Li Xie didn't believe that Cao Ying couldn't see the Tao in this matter, but she still said it. Speaking of such a compromise can even be said to be a way to back down. So Li Xie felt very uncomfortable at this time, but he couldn't say it, and he couldn't even show it, so he could only sulk at himself.

"Brother Li has breakfast, come out for breakfast." Lu An came out this time but it was very suitable, and the silence of the two people was broken in an instant, Li Xie glanced at Cao Ying, and still took the lead in speaking:

"Let's talk about this later, it's too early to say whether to uproot them at this time, we don't even have evidence related to this group of people and the lonely family, so we don't have to think too much, everything will be talked about later."

Cao Ying knew that this was her junior brother who was softening, so she nodded and didn't say anything else. The two of them walked out of the room together, went outside together, and ate at the dinner table together.

But there was silence between the two men, and neither of them had any communication with the other.

At the dinner table, Li Xie only cared about pulling things into his mouth, gobbling up as if he hadn't eaten for a few days. And Cao Ying also ate slowly and methodically, after seeing the real amount of food on the ground yesterday, Cao Ying was not worried that the two would be suspicious because of the amount of food. Besides, now that Lu An is sitting on the side, even if Cao Ying wants to help Li Xie, she doesn't have the ability.

After watching the two of them go to the dinner table, they have been silent, eating their own things. Lu An felt that the two of them should have quarreled just now, but he felt that it shouldn't be. With this Li Ersil's character, in front of Miss Lonely, he should not be able to fight back and scold back, how could he quarrel? Even if I don't know the reason, but in order to ease the atmosphere, but also to better control the two of them. Lu An still opened his mouth to persuade:

"Brother Li, do you know? This man will have a heart like the sea, especially when facing a woman, you must be able to tolerate everything about her. ”

Lu An's words dissuaded him like this, but this is just based on the way the two of them get along, and he feels that between the two of them, women should suppress men. If it were him, if his mother-in-law dared to lose her temper in front of him, he would definitely let her learn a lesson without saying a word. is still long-lasting, and dares to lose his temper in front of Zhejiang men.

But for Li Xie and the others, Lu An must persuade like this, even if such persuasion will be very embarrassing for men. Because only if Li Xie obeys Cao Yingyan, Lu An can better control Li Xie.

Li Xie's character in front of Lu An is a tenacious two fools, and in the face of such a tenacious person, Lu An has no way to use interests and favors to make him obedient before he is completely subdued.

But Cao Ying can, the lonely Ji Ran she plays, although simple but not stupid, as long as the person with a flexible brain will definitely weigh the pros and cons. As long as he weighs the pros and cons, then Lu An has a way to make the lonely Ji Ran obediently listen to his words.

"Hmm." The chopsticks in Li Xie's hand didn't stop, and he didn't stop in his mouth, but he just replied so casually, and he couldn't say anything about Lu An.

Lu An was embarrassed, but in the face of a fool like him, he could only suffer a loss. After the meal, Li Xie and the two left on their own, without the slightest idea of what they were going to do for Lu An next.

As for Lu An, he can't fully trust Li Xie, so at this stage, he can really only support him, and he can't use him. Besides, there really isn't anything to use such a fool now.

The time of the day passed quietly like this, and Li Xie's day was also very boring. There is no way to prove that there is no urgency, and Lu An has not been able to fully trust himself, and he has not been able to do more before he has been able to do more.

Cao Ying was anxious to know about her brother's current situation, and it seemed that she was only one step away from her brother, but she endured it alive. The day passed in the midst of two people's big eyes.

In the middle of the night, the person sent out by Lu'an to inquire about the news finally hurried back.

And the news he brought back was that the two people did kill someone and commit something in Dongling County, so the two fled by boat. As for how to determine the killing, it was the two of them, and it was also because the wanted portraits of the two of them had been posted near Dongling County at this time.

"Are you sure it's the two of them?"

"Judging from the portrait, it should be the two of them, and I also heard that the reason why the two of them killed people seems to be because when Miss Lonely went to be her jewelry, the shopkeeper saw that the jewelry was extraordinary and wanted to swallow it privately, which is what happened later."

"Really?"

"Seriously!"

"If you look at it this way, you can be sure, neither of them is lying, and it is not surprising that Miss Lone was born into a big family and has one or two things that are even more valuable." Lu An was relieved this time, grinning as he walked quickly in the room. It's like planning what to come.

"There is no news from the people on the partridge side so far, and none of the people we sent out have returned. So you make a trip yourself and see what happened to make them drag them to the present. "I just walked around the room for a while. Only then did Lu An turn his head and speak to the "qi" person.

When the "qi" person heard this, his face darkened a little, and the place where the partridge tribe lived was in the forest swamp, and those places were full of poisonous mist and miasma all year round. Ordinary people don't dare to approach at all, although Lu'an has an antidote to deal with these miasma, but in these miasma, it is also a life of death.

The reason for you is that those forests are full of fog all year round, making it difficult to find the direction, so every year after they come here, Lu'an will be damaged, and one or two people are inside.

The other brothers didn't know because they didn't have access to these things, and Lu An did these things very secretly every year. In the face of those brothers, they just said that these people didn't want to do such a detrimental business anymore, so they left. But the "Qi" person has been by Lu An's side all the year round to protect him, how could he not understand this?

It was these people who left, but Lu An promised them to leave on the condition that they should contact the people of the partridge tribe, and there were brothers who came back after nine deaths, and these people did leave safely. But there are indeed dead people, and those who are "angry" do not dare to gamble their lives, and they can definitely come out of these swamps.

"It seems that you are not very willing, you think I don't know? How much money have you been greedy for all these years? You think if I poke these things up, you'll be safe. Let's go, if you can come back alive, I'll let you go. ”

"Don't you forget that I'm sent from above, let me go? I'm afraid it's all the deficit over the years on my head, right? If I kill you now, I can still tell the people above that you are greedy for this sum of money, and then go away. ”

The "qi" person said that there was a tendency to make a move, but Lu An didn't seem to notice it. Not only was he defenseless, but he turned his back on him.

"We're all doing deadly business, what's wrong with getting some money? Which of these brothers outside doesn't have one or two strokes of greedy ink under his hands? Do you think the people above don't know? It's just that I don't want to pursue it in the past. ”

"Of course I know, so he can push you on your head this time!" The "qi" person has no trace of a cold smile, and he has to do it when he stands up.

"It's really for you to go and you don't go, why make a fuss like this, you think I'm defenseless against you? You are the one from above, and although I have to rely on you to save my life, I will never believe you. Okay, I've waited so long, you're ready to hit the road. ”

"What?" The "qi" person was surprised, he had been by Lu An's side for a short time, and he clearly knew the methods of the person in front of him.

Maybe Lu An doesn't have any strength in his hands, but his head is smart. And he is ruthless, and he is cautious and keeps such a hand on everyone. That's why he can climb step by step to today. Long after the "angry" person said that it was confirmed that the words of Li Xie and the two of them were credible.

Lu An had already quietly taken out the poison that he had been preparing for a long time. The poison was a kind of smoke, and after he quietly pulled it out on his body, it slowly spread throughout the room.

He didn't move around a lot because he was overjoyed by the news. Rather, it was because he had to move around to spread the poisonous smoke from his body throughout the room. And he had more space to avoid the observation of the "qi" person between walks, so that he could quietly swallow the antidote to the poison.

"You ......" and "qi" people only felt weak when they exerted their strength, and at the same time he felt that there was something abnormal in his nose, and when he raised his hand to touch his nose, he realized that he had a nosebleed.

"No wonder I am, when I just told you to go to the contact, if you promised to come down and leave, you can be safe and sound now."
