"When it's over, I'll come back for you."

Su Ruan listened to Qi Wenfu's mouthful of corpses and relics, and he couldn't cry or laugh a little, he said it as if they were really dead, but ......

"Mo Linglan returned to Beijing, didn't Xiao Mian follow him?"

Su Ruan said, "I haven't heard Yue Qian talk about him in the past few days, how do you know that he is still staying in Jingnan?" ”

Yue Qian has not been to Jingzhou City during this time, even if he inquired about the news, most of them were outside, they only knew that Xiao Mian and Crean Longan were rescued, and Mo Linglan rushed back to Beijing, and now Jingzhou's affairs are presided over by Crepe Longan, but Xiao Mian has never shown up again.

Even Yue Qian didn't know if he was still in Jingzhou, how could Qi Wenfu be so sure that he hadn't left yet?

Qi Wenfu chuckled when he heard this: "Xiao Mian has a wild temperament, and no one can control him when he goes crazy, but he is an extremely affectionate person like Mo Linglan. ”

"Mo Linglan had to leave because of the matter in Beijing, and he wanted to settle the way back for me, but Xiao Mian will definitely stay, not only because his temperament will make him wait until we find our whereabouts, but also because this matter is related to the Xiao family, Mo Linglan will definitely be able to guess."

"He won't let Xiao Mian go to the capital with him, first, Xiao Mian stayed to recuperate, and second, it was also to paralyze the Salt Gang and the Xiao family, so that Xiao Mian could find a way to deal with the fire's backyard first, so that if there was a chance in Beijing, he could also borrow the power of the Salt Gang, which could be regarded as a back road."

Qi Wenfu and Mo Linglan have been together for many years, but the two are friends who fight and fight.

They have been in the court for many years, and they know each other too well, and although Xiao Mian is often in the rivers and lakes, it is not as good as Mo Linglan who always follows him, but Qi Wenfu's understanding of Xiao Mian is not inferior to anyone.

He was confident that he could think of the Xiao family, and Mo Linglan and them would definitely be able to.

So even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could be sure that Xiao Mian definitely did not follow Mo Linglan into Beijing, but still stayed in Jingzhou City, but he never appeared in the outside world, on the one hand, it can confuse the eyes of the outside world, and on the other hand, it is also to mislead the people who did it on the Xiao family's side.

Su Ruan frowned and said, "Do you know who the Xiao family voted for Yu Wenzheng?" ”

Qi Wenfu said: "It's not Xiao Mian's younger brother, it's his uncles. ”

"Although the Salt Gang is only an organization on the rivers and lakes, the interests involved in it are too great, and even the money they receive every year is comparable to the tax revenue of a local state capital for two or three years."

"Xiao Mian's younger brother Xiao Sui and him are siblings, but since childhood, he has been so strong, he has loved to say goodbye to Xiao Mian since he was a child, whether he is practicing martial arts or socializing with people, or other aspects are not as good as Xiao Mian, so since they became adults, the Xiao family has set Xiao Mian as the next head of the family and will take over the salt gang in the future."

"Xiao Sui is not convinced, he always likes to stumble on Xiao Mian before, and there have been a few times when he has made a lot of trouble, if it weren't for Uncle Xiao's reason, with Xiao Mian's temper, Xiao Sui might have been expelled from the Xiao family a long time ago."

"If Xiao Sui is because of the position of the head of the family, it is not surprising that Xiao Mian has taken refuge in Yuwen Zheng and them."

"In addition to Xiao Sui, Xiao Mian also has a few uncles, who are Uncle Xiao's own brothers, and it is not a day or two that Uncle Xiao can be in charge of the Salt Gang, and it is normal for them to be used to take advantage of the opportunity to kill Xiao Mian."

Although the Xiao family is not a gate valve clan, there are many people under the flourishing branches, but most of them rely on the interests of Xiao Mian and their lineage and the salt gang, and Xiao Mian's father treats these people very strictly, but he has never treated them badly, and they can't make a death attack on Xiao Mian.

And there are only so many people who can think of burying gunpowder to kill him and Su Ruan, and at the same time pulling Xiao Mian to accompany the funeral.

"No matter who wants to harm Xiao Mian, after learning that he actually escaped with his life and was rescued, they will definitely feel uneasy, and when the time comes, they will definitely find a way to find out about Xiao Mian's injuries, or send someone to Jingzhou to mend Xiao Mian's knife."

"Xiao Mian stayed in Jingzhou for the same reason."

Su Ruan squinted slightly and thought about it, and said: "I always feel a little strange, it stands to reason that the Salt Gang is a force in the rivers and lakes, how did Yuwen Zheng and them get in touch, through Yue Rong?" But Xie Yuan had checked Yue Rong's details before, and most of the places where he was active were around Zhangning, and he rarely interacted with people from the south. ”

"And even if it is the people of the Salt Gang that Yue Rong helped them recruit, why is it the Xiao family, and it happens to be Xiao Mian's relatives, it seems to be ......"

Su Ruan paused, thought about the wording and continued,

"It's as if they've been planning to do something to the people around you, so good."

The corners of Qi Wenfu's mouth flattened when he heard this, and he had been thinking about it all this time.

First his cousin-in-law, who happened to be a member of the Ning family, was mixed into the original Bo Xi and Bo Chong's rebellion, and even because he let go of the Ning family in advance, and then the Xiao family.

In the end, the person they found was related to him, and it was all a coincidence.

Still is......

The reason why they found these people was only because these people were related to him, or was it related to the Qi family?

If the latter, what is the reason?

Before Qi Wenfu met Su Ruan, he had not shown his intention to thoroughly investigate Jingnan's old case, but his cousin-in-law had been with his cousin many years ago.

There is also the Xiao family, Xiao Sui and the others are indeed jealous of Xiao Mian, but they are also shrewd, if there is no reason, or someone who is enough to make them believe in it, how can they give up the freedom of the Salt Gang so easily and get involved in the struggle for power in the court?

Qi Wenfu subconsciously rubbed his fingers, and suddenly asked, "You said before that I later turned my back on Da Chen and defected to Yuwen Zheng?" ”

Su Ruan nodded, after almost dying in the water, when Qi Wenfu chose to protect her without hesitation, even if she was unconscious, she had already figured out a lot of things.

Although Su Ruan still didn't directly tell Qi Wenfu that she had lived one more life, she no longer shy away from mentioning those things in the past, and even she knew that Qi Wenfu might have guessed something, so she didn't hesitate.

Su Ruan said: "At that time, you never showed the slightest intention of switching to others, and you were also rising in the middle of the court, holding heavy power. ”

"Jing Nan's case has not been overturned, after the prince was poisoned, the Xie family was beheaded, and the Nan family was also defeated step by step because of the loss of Nan Yuanshan for several years."

"The Bo family in the court is dominant, the second prince was pushed in front of others, and almost became the next emperor in the eyes of everyone, but you suddenly began to cultivate me a year after picking me up."

"You not only taught me about the affairs of the court and politics, forced me to learn many things that I didn't understand, and even took me with me no matter who I met, so that I gradually got in touch with the ministers of the court, and even pretended not to know about my secret contact with them, but secretly added fuel to the fire, and let me know a lot of courtiers' secrets."
