"Now that Childe already knows the identities of the two of us, what are you going to do?" Ma Sandao stabilized his mind and asked in a deep voice. At this moment, his heart was really beating, and Yue Xiang in front of him seemed to know everything, so there was no need to hide it now. There were more than a dozen people outside the door, and it seemed that Yue Xiang had premeditated.

"How am I going? Hmph, the White Lotus Sect is a cult strictly prohibited by the imperial court, and you and I have always kept the well water from the river. Now that you have come to my house and plotted evil, I will kill you, and it doesn't matter much. But I can give you a chance to tell yourself what you're trying to do with me. ”

Ma Sandao glanced at Li Shoucai and knew that he wanted to give up today. Yue Xiang had already killed one just now, and if he didn't cooperate, he was afraid that even the lives of both of them would be difficult to protect.

But how much should I say? The point is that I don't know how much Yue Xiang knows about them, and from the fact that he accurately saw his identity and told the inside story of the attack to the point, it can be concluded that Yue Xiang's understanding of them is far beyond their imagination, and it will be self-defeating if he can't make up nonsense to fool him. Maybe he knows it all, maybe he doesn't necessarily know it all, but is the risk worth taking?

Even if you can fool him, will it help you in your current situation? Not necessarily. Besides, maybe he will know in the blink of an eye that he has been deceived, and then there may not even be a little room for manoeuvre. Maybe no matter what they say or not, Yue Xiang won't leave them alive. But in this situation, there is always a silver lining to be seized.

About that matter is already secondary, now the main thing is to try to get out of the current predicament and save your own life.

Although they have been involved in the murder case, just because you have the courage to rebel doesn't mean they won't be afraid when the steel knife is on their neck. Little people are little people, and even if they are involved in big things, it doesn't change the essence of their little people. Besides, there is no power in the court to protect them here.

Here they can only rely on themselves.

At this moment, they had already decided that Yue Xiang already knew their purpose, and they wanted to make his subordinates show mercy, only to make themselves appear valuable to him. Li Shoucai took a deep breath and said slowly: "Childe, did you know the identities of the two of us from Mrs. Zun?" Has Mrs. Zun seen through the secrets of the two of us? ”

“…… I don't need to tell you about it. Just say yours. Yue Xiang's heart shook heavily, how could his wife Chen be involved? He had a hunch that this was extraordinary, but his face didn't show it, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, and he still looked like he was in control.

"Presumably so, Mrs. Zun and I are both disciples of the White Lotus Sect, although the Red Seal and White Yang are located inside and outside the Guan, but after all, the same sect is in the same stream, and it is inevitable to see some clues after a long time." Ma Sandao's tone was quite self-deprecating, "It's just that I didn't expect that she even knew about the Jingshi three years ago, and told Gongzi." Presumably, the Baiyang lineage has already belonged to Childe. ”

Yue Xiang's face still hasn't changed, but his heart feels like a pot. Listening to the tone of these two, could it be that his wife was also a member of the White Lotus Sect? And what kind of senior cadre is the Baiyang lineage? This kind of thing is so nonsense! He couldn't imagine that the trembling little daughter-in-law who had been reprimanded by his mother all day long was actually the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

"She's my man now, she's my wife! Who did she tell to go without telling me? Yue Xiang really couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and just said ambiguous words, otherwise he might lose his temper.

"Did the lady tell her son that her real name is not Chen, but Jin?" Ma Sandao's words seemed to add fuel to the fire, making Yue Xiang's already uncalm heart completely boil. Even the name is fake? He was stunned for a moment, and with a shake of the knife in his hand, it was directly attached to Ma Sandao's neck.

"You'd better stop talking to me in this tone from now on, or you'll be your death day next year!" He tried his best to hide his gaffe, and at the same time sighed in his heart, it looked like he was going to be very busy today......

Yue Xiang's eldest brother's mansion was on the other side of Yue's house, and at this moment, the Chen family was sitting in the house with Yue Xiang's sister-in-law Li family.

Li's face was very bad, especially since what happened today had reached her ears. She didn't expect that the uncle, who seemed to be simple-minded and well-limbed on weekdays, would have such a big courage and directly seize the power of the family. In addition, what worried her even more was that Yue Qi was arrested by him.

There's been so much going on lately that it's thrown everything around you into a mess. There are people everywhere who are panicking, her husband's life and death are unknown, and her relationship with Yue Qi may be exposed at any time, and at that time, she will no longer want to maintain the noble status of the Yue family's eldest and youngest grandmother. As a woman, she doesn't understand the affairs of men, she only understands that women must find a man to rely on, and she just wants to keep her current life.

She tried to find out what she had heard from Chen, but it seemed that Chen didn't seem to know much about it. She still has a layer of luck in her heart, maybe it was just a misunderstanding between Yue Xiang and Yue Qi, maybe her brother-in-law didn't want to do anything to her, and now letting his wife come over to accompany her proves that Yue Xiang still respects her.

"Madam, my uncle is here." The little girl outside the door came in to report, and then there was the sound of a man's footsteps outside the door.

"Girl...... Yo! The second young grandmother is also there. "The man who came in was a man about thirty years old, with a Zhou Zheng appearance, probably a little similar to the Li family, it was the eldest brother of the Li family, the only steward with a foreign surname in the Yue Mansion, Li Liang. He saw that Chen hurriedly gave a salute, and Chen also returned the salute. Li Liang is responsible for following Yue Xiang's eldest brother to take care of business on weekdays, and on weekdays, he has to ask them to bring some things to each room in the foreign clan, and the Chen family has also asked him to help a few times, so he is more familiar.

"Big brother, what are you doing here?" Li was absent-minded at the moment.

"Hmm...... Does the eldest young master have a letter? Li Liang seemed to have something to say but didn't know how to speak. As a result, as soon as the words came out, I knew that I had said the wrong thing, and I saw my sister's tears sliding down her face. He had no choice but to say again: "Sister, the eldest young master is auspicious, he will be safe and sound, and you should not be too sad." ”

“…… What is the matter with Big Brother here? Li was upset at the moment, and naturally he didn't have much real sadness. Sobbed for a while, then stopped the grief. Li Liang looked no-no, opened his mouth for a long time in embarrassment, and finally said, "This...... This is now a difficulty, originally before the accident of the eldest young master, there was a batch of goods to be sent from Liaoyang. Now...... I don't know what to do with this shipment. Shall we take it or not? ”

The Yue family's business has always been taken care of by Yue Xiang's eldest brother, and when he has an accident, the whole thing is like being paralyzed. Li Liang explained that the old man is lying in bed now, and it seems that he has had a stroke, and it is completely useless to ask him for instructions. Now there is no one in charge of the business, so I have to go to the doctor to discuss with my grandmother.

What kind of idea can a woman from the Li family have, and she doesn't know anything about doing business. Besides, her mind at this time was not on this at all, and when she heard these words, a sudden irritability suddenly came to her heart.

"You still have the heart to think about these things now, my father-in-law is now unknown whether he is alive or dead! You just know how to do business?! Do you have a little heart?! I don't care about it! You go and ask someone else! Li suddenly shouted at her brother. Li Liang touched his nose and stopped, so he had to retreat. Chen hurriedly persuaded Li a few words, and Li's hand held his forehead, his face painful. Chen Shi made a look, and Yahuan helped Li into the bedroom.

Chen turned around and came outside, only to see that Li Liang really didn't leave, and the expression on his face was very gloomy. After seeing Chen come out and give a salute, he cautiously asked, "Second lady, I don't know ...... my sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law has already fallen asleep, so Brother Li doesn't have to mind. Whoever this matter falls on, it is inevitable to be upset. The sister-in-law is just angry, and it will be fine in two days. It's just that it's a bit out of place for you to pick this time. Chen kept a polite distance from him, and his tone was light.

"I know that there are many things going on in my family right now, but I have no choice but to do so. If something happens to the eldest young master, everyone will not be able to live. Business still has to be done, and food still has to be eaten. It's only because the eldest young master treats me kindly that I have to give him a good look at the business before he comes back, so that one day when the young master comes back, he will see that the family's business is in decline, what kind of face will I have to see the eldest young master when he returns? If I don't want to take care of things, why should I come here to touch this nail? ”

"How can you be sure that Uncle will return safely?"

"If the person who is a confidant dies, even if the eldest young master really has three longs and two shorts, I will also keep this business for him." There was a certain firmness in Li Liang's eyes, and the lines reflected in the tight corners of his mouth were like a granite statue.

"Actually, you're not here to find your sister-in-law, are you?"

"Exactly, the second lady went back to bring a message to the second young master for the little one. Li Liang is just an outsider in the Yue family, and I don't care who is the parent in the Yue family, I will only do business. I only do business for the Yue family, just because I swore to the eldest young master that I will always put the interests of the Yue family first. If you violate this oath, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! ”

Chen looked at him, as if he had understood what he meant. "I'll bring a message to the second master, I think although the second master acts absurdly on weekdays, he is also a member of the Yue family after all. There are some things that he can be reasonable. ”

A voice came from outside the courtyard: "Is the second grandmother here, the second young master, please come over." Chen heard that it was Yue Xiang's henchman Yue Shan, so he answered, glanced at Li Liang meaningfully, and walked outside the courtyard with Yahuan. Li Liang looked at her disappearing back, something flashed in his eyes as well, and then he left here......

In the west across the courtyard, in Yue Xiang's living room.

"Gao Huai Zangjin ......" Yue Xiang squinted his eyes and looked at Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai in front of him, wondering if what they said was true, because the ins and outs of the whole story were too bizarre. He didn't expect that his seemingly ordinary wife was actually a White Lotus Sect, and she had a deep relationship with Gao Huai, the notorious power eunuch in history.

The Wanli Dynasty mine tax supervisor almost throughout the reign of Shenzong, the Wanli Emperor sent the mine tax supervisor to loot the people throughout Shanxi, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Shandong, Fujian, Yunnan, Sichuan, Guangdong, Huguang and other regions, and Liaodong was the hardest hit area, during which the eunuch Gao Huai played an extremely bad role.

Whether Yue Xiang is taken from the memory of the present world or the records in the previous field history, he knows that there is such a number one person as Gao Huai. This person is quite mysterious, he has done all kinds of evil in the past ten years, and has done countless repugnant and bad things about lack of morality, but there is no record of his ending in the history books, as if he disappeared so mysteriously.

There are countless speculations about his records, some people say that he was executed by Emperor Wanli as a scapegoat, some people say that he was killed by the swordsmen of the rivers and lakes, some people say that he committed suicide knowing that he was evil, and some people simply say that he was killed by lightning by the heavens, but none of the records are reliable.

I didn't expect these things to be involved today, and Yue Xiang's interest was completely aroused.

"Exactly, Gao Huai was ordered to go to Liaodong to supervise the mining tax, and calculated the years from the twenty-seventh year of Wanli to the thirty-sixth year of Wanli, and scraped Liao for ten years. The looted people's fat and ointment were more than 10 million, but he only handed over more than 400,000 taels of silver to the inner treasury of the Ouchi Imperial Palace in ten years. It's probably less than one percent, and where does the rest of the money go? ”

"After the fall of Gao Huai, Song Xizeng, Yu Dongzhuo, Li Shoujie, Ding Meng, Yang Chengen, Tong Chun, Xu Hu, Chen Sifang and other prominent gangs in the underworld in Liaodong were all bloodily liquidated, but after torture, no one still knew the whereabouts of the money. It is estimated that the amount of this silver is extremely huge, probably more than 10 million taels of silver, all of which Gao Huai coveted on his own behind the emperor's back. ”

"Gao Huai hid this money somewhere in a hidden place in Liaodong, and now this money has become ownerless money. Whoever finds it belongs to whomever it is. Many people are blushing at this huge wealth. ”

Yue Xiang sneered and said, "So you White Lotus Sect also fancy this money?" Hmph, it's ridiculous. Do you believe such rumors? Have you become accustomed to pretending to be a ghost, and you have begun to deceive yourself? What do you White Lotus Sect want this money for? Rebellion? I advise you not to bother, the White Lotus Sect will never succeed. Yue Xiang was telling the truth, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the longest-lasting regime in China, but it still ended in failure. The market for religious groups in China is very limited.

"No, this money originally belonged to our White Lotus Sect. Gao Huai betrayed the emperor, and also betrayed the ancestor of the mixed yuan, and coveted this money behind everyone's back, what's wrong with us getting it back now? We're just taking back what belongs to us. ”

"Joke, Gao Huai was ordered by the emperor, how did this money become the ...... of your White Lotus Sect" Yue Xiang sneered disdainfully, and suddenly seemed to realize something, and his face changed. His expression became solemn and he looked at the two: "Gao Huai...... Is it also ...... White Lotus Sect? "He thought it was ridiculous himself.

"Exactly, before Gao Huai entered the palace as a eunuch, he was already a disciple of the Hongyang lineage of the White Lotus Sect."
