In that case, the worst will be demoted to the knight, and the worst will be the family and exterminated.

That's a lot of trouble.

Xiao Mian scolded angrily: "You only see the benefits they get, but you don't think about how much risk they have taken, saying that you are insatiable and ungrateful!" ”

He Fangniang was covered by Xiao Mian and cried, "I, I don't have it, I know that Miss Su is a good person, and I don't want to lie to her...... But they didn't listen, they just wanted some benefits, and they didn't want to stay in Jingnan in fear. ”

"They just told me to trick Miss Su and Master Qi here, and they didn't want to harm their lives, and let them go when they got the benefits."

She cried and raised her eyes to Su Ruan and pleaded,

"Miss Su, please spare me, I really didn't want to hurt you......"

"You're lying."

Su Ruan looked at He Fangniang quietly, not moved by her words at all.

Seeing that He Fangniang's face was full of panic and wanted to argue, she said directly, "You know that the government is searching for you everywhere, and you know that it is impossible for me and Qi Wenfu to come here without preparation, and we will not bring people with us." ”

"If you are just seeking money, you can use other methods, how can you risk yourself being trapped?"

This fishing village has no way out, the forest is blocked, and the South River is in front of it.

Where did they get the confidence to be able to ask for benefits after tying her and Qi Wenfu, and where did they have the ability to ensure that they could get out afterwards?

Unless He Fangniang is lying at all.

What they wanted was never wealth, but the lives of her and Qi Wenfu.

Su Ruan saw that time passed, and she also lost patience with He Fangniang, "He Fangniang, I don't want to go around in circles with you, and I don't want to hear you about your sufferings that don't know whether it's true or false." ”

"I'll only give you one last chance, if you don't say it again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Xiao Mian didn't expect that He Fangniang would dare to lie at this time.

His eyes were sharp, far more direct than Su Ruan's, and he reached out and grabbed He Fangniang's neck and lifted the person up.

"Say! What the hell are you guys up to?! ”

He Fangniang's face turned red when she was pinched, and the whole person hesitated and almost died, she just slowed down for a moment and didn't speak, and then she felt the hand on her neck tighten suddenly, as if she was going to crush her bones.

Her breathing was blocked, and she couldn't help but reach out and pat Xiao Mian.

Xiao Mian's hand let go slightly, and she cried, "They...... They want to arrest Lord Qi and you...... I also poisoned the tiger, I, I can't ......help it."

"They? Tao Xiucai? Su Ruan said in a deep voice.

He Fangniang said intermittently, "Yes, it's him...... He took the others and said, "I won't trick you...... It's going to kill everyone...... I also want the tiger to accompany the burial ......"

"Huh!"

As soon as He Fangniang's words fell, the dim fishing village not far away lit up suddenly.

There were fires all around the originally dim place, and even from a distance, you could still see those people suddenly appearing from all directions.

"Fourth brother!" Su Ruan's face changed.

Xiao Mian directly threw off He Fangniang, and said urgently: "Zirong is in an ambush!" He looked at the people around him with an ugly face, "Su Ruan, you wait here, I'll go and save Zirong." ”

He pointed at the guards of the Xie family,

"A few of you stay to protect your young lady, and the others will come with me!"

"Brother Xiao!"

Su Ruan grabbed Xiao Mian, and then hurriedly lowered his head and asked He Fangniang, "How many people are there in the fishing village?!" ”

"I don't know." He Fangniang gasped, her face full of tears, "I only know that there are many of them, and the whole fishing village is ......"

Su Ruan's face was ugly, and he looked up at Xiao Mian and said, "Brother Xiao, I'll go with you." ”

"You ......"

Xiao Mian reflexively wanted to refuse, he didn't know how many ambushes there were in the fishing village, and it was too dangerous to take Su Ruan with him.

But before he could speak, Su Ruan said in a deep voice,

"This calculation tonight can never be just for the fourth brother alone, if the person who is acting is really related to the old case in Jingnan, then they will make such a big situation, they will never easily let the fourth brother and me escape."

"I stay here, not only do some people stay to protect me, in case they want to divert the tiger from the mountain and finally calculate that it is me, and then use me to contain the fourth brother, it will be troublesome at that time."

"I'll go with you, and I'll be able to adapt to anything at any time."

Xiao Mian looked at the voice coming from over there when he heard this, and knew that there was no delay, and Qi Wenfu also said that he would follow Su Ruan without leaving an inch, if he left Su Ruan and something happened, he would not be able to explain to Qi Wenfu.

Xiao Mian gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll take you!" ”

Su Ruan shook his head: "Just let the others take me, you have to take someone to save the fourth brother later." ”

After speaking, she said to the two of the Xie family guards who followed behind her, "The two of you will go in two ways, one will go back to Jingzhou City to find someone, and the other will go to the garrison camp that we passed by when we came. ”

"It's the closest place to here, and there are people stationed all year round, inform them about this place, and bring reinforcements as soon as possible."

Su Ruan didn't know how many people were in the fishing village, and he didn't know if the bureaus set up by those people were all in the fishing village in the end.

She had to leave a way out for them.

It stands to reason that she should retreat directly with the people, so as not to drag down Qi Wenfu because she doesn't know martial arts.

However, her legs and feet are bad, and her body is weak, and she will inevitably be completely safe on the way back to move reinforcements, and the people who set up the bureau may not be able to guard against this.

Su Ruan instantly judged the pros and cons of leaving and staying, and decisively chose to stay.

She said to the two,

"Be careful when you go, there may be someone blocking the way, if you really can't do it, come back, and we'll find a way."

These guards were the Xie family's own soldiers, and before they followed Su Ruan to Jingnan, both Xie Yuan and Old Madam Xie had told them that they should obey Su Ruan's arrangement no matter what they encountered.

At this time, the two did not hesitate, nodded directly and turned to get on the horse and left, but after a while, they melted into the forest.

"Brother Xiao, call the people in the forest back, let's go too." After Su Ruan saw the two leave, he turned back and said.

Xiao Mian saw that Su Ruan looked calm, and even arranged for someone to report the news, he couldn't help but glance at her in his heart, he nodded and walked directly to He Fangniang's side, slapped her on the back of the neck and knocked people out, and then called back Lao Jiu in the forest.

When Lao Jiu came, he was holding a tiger that had also fainted, and there was no trace of blood on the child's body.

"Lao Jiu is good at ventriloquism, if we people on the rivers and lakes are forced to do so, they will not hurt the children."

Xiao Mian saw Su Ruan looking at Lao Jiu and opened his mouth to explain.
