The night shrouded Shang Cai, and the silence soaked the city.

The Dong family's inner house, a small courtyard not far from Yuan Xu's residence.

A dark shadow crouched on the wall.

Looking around, no anomalies were found, and the black shadow jumped off the courtyard wall.

Barely touching the ground, he jumped out of a room, and he gently pushed the door open, and the door made a strange "creak" sound.

A middle-aged woman's hoarse voice came out: "I already said it yesterday, don't come again!" ”

The shadow didn't say a word, and turned sideways into the room.

"Knowing that you are still alive, my mother is relieved!" The middle-aged woman's voice came out again.

"I'm going to take you away!" The black shadow finally spoke: "Whoever stands in his way will be killed!" ”

"No!" The middle-aged woman categorically refused: "Mother won't leave!" Mother doesn't want you to kill! ”

Silence, deathly silence.

In the dark room, the mother and son were speechless to each other.

At that moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Turning his head sharply, the black shadow's ears rang up.

"Xiao Zhu, don't hide it!" Just as he was about to hide behind the door, Yuan Xu's voice came from outside: "I know that you are here!" ”

Hearing Yuan Xu's voice, the black shadow really didn't hide anymore.

The oil lamp was lit, and the dim light instantly filled the room. The light is reflected on his face, and Xiao Zhu's dignified face and stupid appearance are like two people!

Yuan Xu appeared at the door.

He was not followed by the guards!

"How does the county lieutenant know it's so-and-so?" With a cold face, Xiao Zhu asked emotionlessly.

County lieutenant?

When Xiao Zhu learned of Yuan Xu's identity, the middle-aged woman was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and saluted him.

"You told me!" Bowing back, Yuan Xu first replied to Xiao Zhu, and then asked, "This must be Mrs. Zhu?" ”

"The people's daughter wishes to see the county lieutenant!" Lowering her head, Mrs. Zhu answered.

Her hair was in a shaggy bun, and her clothes were a little disheveled, apparently unwashed for days.

"I also think that Mrs. should leave with Xiao Zhu!" Looking at Xiao Zhu, Yuan Xu said: "Wandering the world, although someone will take his life at any time, it is better than grieving every day here!" ”

"What does the county lieutenant want?" Xiao Zhu frowned, and his tone was slightly unkind: "Why did you overhear my mother and son?" ”

"When I woke up in the middle of the night, I saw that you didn't come to look for it, and I just overheard it!" With an innocent expression, Yuan Xu said: "Don't lie to good people!" ”

"After getting along with the county lieutenant for two days, I know that you and the officials in the city are not the same as you, and you don't want to kill your ......."

Xiao Zhu wanted Yuan Xu to leave, but he didn't expect Yuan Xu to interrupt him: "I didn't think about dying, I just planned to persuade Mrs. Zhu for you!" ”

looked at him suspiciously, and Xiao Zhu didn't say anything more.

Yuan Xu's thoughts, he thought he would never understand!

As a county lieutenant, he connived at the county soldiers to rob the treasury, and put it on Xiao Zhu, he would never be able to do it!

However, Yuan Xu did it!

Not only did it do, but it also did it brightly and magnificently! The county officials who did it were speechless and could only acquiesce!

"The women are not leaving!" Lowering her head, Mrs. Zhu said softly: "There is a county lieutenant Lao who is concerned......

"If Madam doesn't leave, I'm afraid that Xiao Zhu Xiang's head will be difficult to protect!" Entering the house, Yuan Xu said: "Gathering thieves, robbing officials and businessmen, and mutilating officials, many crimes, even if there are a thousand heads, it is not enough to cut off!" ”

Mrs. Zhu was taken aback.

I haven't seen my son for more than ten years, but I didn't expect him to fall into such a field!

collusion with thieves......

Just thinking about it, Mrs. Zhu feels frightened!

"Don't believe his nonsense!" With a frown, Xiao Zhu glared at Yuan Xu.

"But to tell the truth, why are you staring at so-and-so?" With an indifferent smile, Yuan Xu said, "Do you dare to say that the Dong family's wealth is not robbed by you?" Didn't you kill the former county lieutenant? ”

"We did this to rob the Dong family's property, and we really didn't kill the former county lieutenant!" Snorted coldly, Xiao Zhu said: "Outside Shangcai City, I'm not the only one!" ”

Xiao Zhu's response surprised Yuan Xu.

Although he pretends to be crazy and stupid, he is not a villain who dares to be a villain!

The former county lieutenant was not killed by them, but someone else who did it......

"Something is unknown!" Yuan Xu's face sank, and Xiao Zhu continued: "How can the county lieutenant see that a certain person is coming here?" ”

"I already said it, you told me!" Thinking about who the other group of thieves was, Yuan Xu responded: "You came here over the wall the night before, so you know!" ”

With a gloomy face, Xiao Zhu subconsciously pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

Yuan Xu's scheming made him feel terrible!

The day before, I found out, but I didn't mention it all day!

Xiao Zhu felt that he seemed to have been stripped of his clothes in front of Yuan Xu, completely exposed!

Glancing at his sword-pressing hand, Yuan Xu said lightly: "Could it be that you didn't notice that you didn't bring the guards here?" ”

When Yuan Xu appeared, Xiao Zhu found that there were no guards behind him.

When he said this, Xiao Zhu was even more uncertain.

"If something happens, the guards will return to Yecheng immediately!" With a light smile, Yuan Xu said: "They can't beat it, they should still have some ability to run!" Once the Yuan family knows, do you think the world is big, but there is still a place for it? ”

His eyes flashed with a gleam, and Xiao Zhu let go of the hand that pressed the sword.

"Madame must go with you, but not now!" Seeing that he let go of the sword, Yuan Xu said: "If you want to live, you can only follow so-and-so!" ”

With a cold snort, Xiao Zhu asked, "Why?" ”

"Zhen Yi asked for help, saying that you are a Yellow Turban thief!"

"So what?"

"If you are powerful, the court may be able to recruit peace. There are not many people, how can the heroes in the world let it go? ”

Xiao Zhu didn't say anything.

He understood what Yuan Xu said.

There were only thirty or twenty brothers who followed him, and they were not the thieves who gathered outside the city!

However, they often robbed Dong and some wealth, but they couldn't afford the charge of the Yellow Turban thief!

"What's the benefit?" After a moment of silence, Xiao Zhu finally wavered.

"Immortal!" Yuan Xu said categorically: "In the future, you can also take your wife away to fulfill your filial piety!" ”

"You said in the future?"

"It's the future!" Yuan Xu replied more resolutely: "Now is not the best time to take away Mrs., what Dong He did, he will be investigated!" As for Zhen Yi and others, they will also be punished with all their might! Until then, there is only forbearance! ”

Furrowing his brows and thinking for a moment, Xiao Zhu looked at Mrs. Zhu.

Mrs. Zhu was also looking at him.

The mother's eyes showed worry, Xiao Zhu's heart tightened, and finally relieved and said: "If the county lieutenant can keep his promise, what if he follows?" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and Yuan Xu looked at Mrs. Zhu: "Madam, can you talk to me alone?" ”

"What is the county lieutenant going to do?" Afraid that Yuan Xu would say something that shouldn't be said, Xiao Zhu suddenly became nervous.

"Just gossiping!" In response to Xiao Zhu, Yuan Xu looked at Mrs. Zhu.

"Mother wants to say something to the county lieutenant......" Looking at Xiao Zhu with a pleading gaze, Mrs. Zhu said, "Can my son avoid it?" ”
