Zhao Laoliu wanted to "atone his merits", for fear of being implicated by the people under him.

Xiao Mian saw that he was so positive, his face eased a little, and asked people to take care of the few people who drank flower wine with Zhao Laoliu first, so as not to leak the news, and he led people to follow Zhao Laoliu out of Hualou.

Guo Ergou's home is in the west of the city, half of Jingzhou City away from the place where he drinks flower wine.

Xiao Mian followed Zhao Laoliu all the way for a long time, and the house he saw became low and dilapidated.

After walking for a while, Zhao Lao Liu led them to stop at a courtyard that looked to be a few years old, with a fence outside, and at a glance they could see the outside of the courtyard of several mud houses with thatched roofs inside.

"This is it."

Zhao Laoliu said in a low voice, "This is the house left to him by Guo Ergou and his mother, it used to be dilapidated, he has always refused to move after making money, and then he has lived in it after repairing it and repairing it again." ”

Xiao Mian stood in place and looked around, although there were not many people, but there were two other adobe houses next to this courtyard.

If they take people directly, they will definitely alarm the people next to them.

"Who lives around here," Xiao Mian asked.

Zhao Lao Liu seemed to know what Xiao Mian was worried about, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said:

"The people living here in the west of the city are not very well-off, and I remember that one of the two families next door here is a widower who sells fish, and on the other side is a small merchant, and his little daughter-in-law, both of whom are honest people."

"This end is far from the main street, and further away is a large forest, you just need to let people guard the intersection and take the people, and I will personally help you explain to the others later, so that no one dares not to talk nonsense."

Xiao Mian glanced at Zhao Laoliu in surprise: "You are clever." ”

Zhao Laoliu sneered and said: "Aren't I guilty of atonement, and I have been mixed in the dock all the year round, and I have a bit of face." ”

"Don't worry, I promise not to spoil your business, and I will do it for you later."

Xiao Mian also knew that these local snakes had their own methods, and Zhao Laoliu was in charge of the docks, which was not very eye-catching, but it was also a powerful thing for ordinary people.

If he had come forward, he would have been able to do things more easily than they did.

Xiao Mian didn't say much, just looked into the courtyard, and saw that there was still a little light inside, and there was a figure on the window.

"Take people."

Xiao Mian glanced to the side, and immediately someone surrounded the courtyard, and he led people directly into it.

A man and a woman were talking in the room, and next to them sat a tiger-headed child.

When Xiao Mian and the others broke in, the child was so frightened that he cried in horror, and the sturdy man suddenly got up and blocked the woman next to him, and pulled the child behind him: "Who are you?"

Xiao Mian ignored him, but looked directly at the woman behind him: "You are the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, the He family, and your deceased husband is a member of the Jingzhou City Defense Army before."

The woman's face turned pale instantly, her palms trembled a little when she hung her head, and the man's expression changed and he said loudly: "What is the daughter-in-law of the Wu family, I don't understand what you are talking about, she is the daughter-in-law of my Guo family."

"Guo Ergou"

Zhao Lao Liu jumped out directly, kicked Guo Ergou is foot, and kicked the person.

"You shut up Lao Tzu, everyone else has come to the door, and you dare to talk nonsense."

"Do you think that you can hide from the world with this little widow, do you know what it means that the sky is high and the earth is thick, you have eaten the ambitious leopard, and you dare to hide the fugitives who are searched by the government, do you want to kill Lao Tzu?"

Guo Ergou looked panicked when he saw Zhao Lao Liu: "Sixth brother"

"Don't call me Brother Laozi"

Zhao Laoliu was frightened tonight, he was hung outside the window, and he was pointed at the neck with a sword, and when he saw Guo Ergou, he became angry and slapped him.

"Lao Tzu usually treats you well, and I have eaten a bite to eat over the years, so I haven't starved a few brothers."

"But it's good for you, knowing that this little widow killed the people of the government with others, you actually went against the government for her, and asked someone to find Lao Tzu's head, do you know that you almost killed me."

"Lao Tzu is really blind to treat you as a brother"

Zhao Laoliu split his head and covered his face is a beating, Guo Ergou didn't dare to fight back, only held his head and shouted for Rao: "Sixth brother, listen to my explanation, Fang Niang is not a fugitive, they didn't kill anyone, it was the government that wanted to harm them"

"Bah, everyone has been killed, and you are still quibbling" Zhao Laoliu said angrily, "The people in your government are blind"

Xiao Mian frowned and looked at the messy room, and saw that Zhao Lao Liu still wanted to scold again, so he said directly: "Okay"

Zhao Lao Liu quieted down at this time, but his eyes staring at Guo Ergou were still vicious, and he looked like he couldn't wait to eat him.

Xiao Mian turned his head to look at the woman standing there holding the crying child, her face was as pale as paper, and said: "Whether you kill or not, you have the verdict of the government, it's not for you to have the final say, you hide the fugitives privately, and you are guilty of the same crime as them, you know"

Guo Ergou pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak.

He Fangniang's face became more and more pale, holding the child and whispering: "It has nothing to do with him, I begged him, he doesn't know anything"

"Then you know everything, you know that the government is looking for you everywhere, but you still live in his house, so you are not afraid of affecting him" Xiao Mian interrupted her.

He Fangniang's expression froze, and she trembled while holding the child.

Xiao Mian spoke: "What about the others?"

He Fangniang bit her lip and was silent.

Xiao Mian said: "Since we can find you, we can also find other people, and the current situation is no longer something you can hide from." ”

"Do you know what the crime of murdering the court officials is, Xuan Longan was injured by you, if the little blood he shed is more serious, it will be enough for you to raid your family and exterminate your clan, not to mention that there is a life in the government."

"At the moment, things have not reached the point of being out of control, if you take the initiative to come back, explain clearly what happened that day."

"If you are provoked or accidentally hurt someone, with Lord Qi and Su Ruan here, they will definitely be able to protect you from your crimes, but if you have refused to show up and angered the government, after the news is transmitted back to the capital, you will be murderers who have absconded in fear of crime, and everyone will be punished."

"At that time, not only will there be no glory left for your deceased husband and your mother and son, but the case that was finally rehabilitated will make waves again, your dead man will be stigmatized, and your son will become the son of a fugitive, this is what you want"

Xiao Mian's words were extremely straightforward, and he even told her all the stakes.
