And that's not the end of it.

Shi Chuchu continued: "I thought a lot last night, you fell asleep next to me, tossing and turning, and never slept soundly. I finally understand what you didn't say. ”

Ming Yi's heart froze, and the smile on his face was stiff: "What words?" I don't have anything to say.

"If you don't say it, it's because you're afraid that I'm not pleasing you, and it's not necessary. You want to fight for the status of the Shangguan gang, you want to continue to expand the Shijingfang, and you want the Chengwei Pavilion to manipulate the power behind the important ministers, just to protect the safety of yourself and the people around you. It's my fault for not being able to give you enough security. With one's own strength, no matter how strong the martial arts are, it can't compare to the power and power, I still understand. He took the handkerchief from Mingyi's hand and scrubbed it carefully.

Mingyi turned his head and didn't dare to look at him.

Her heart was very sour, and she felt like crying, and this was the first time she felt that maybe she loved her more than she thought at the beginning. In order to exonerate her, blame yourself for all the blame and give yourself an excuse to continue to love her.

Compared with when he was lukewarm to her, this kind of compromise now makes her feel even more heartbroken. She would rather him be proud and indifferent than be like this, constantly compromising.

Mingyi felt that he was a nuisance, a complete jerk. When I can't get it, it's so good, but when I really get it, I feel like I'm lost.

Mingyi walked over silently, hugged him from behind, and stuck to his broad back: "Don't say anything like that, you gave me the greatest sense of security." I wouldn't dare think about anything without you. It's you who support me behind me and make me do whatever I want. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to take such a risk. ”

Shi Chu touched her hand on his waist: "Don't worry, I will do everything I can to help you fulfill your wish." Until you're tired and tired, we'll leave again. ”

Mingyi's nose was very sour, and he couldn't hold back his tears. His compromise has reached this point, taking her wishes as his will, and himself, unwittingly, has become a taker.

What made her even more flustered was that she thought of a question, if she didn't have martial arts at the beginning, would she still be as infatuated with him as she is now? She didn't know how to answer herself. At the beginning of the time, the name was already associated with the word strong, but did she love a martial artist or a person?

Well, she doesn't get into the horns. No matter what part of the love is, it is inseparable from the beginning of the time, so why bother to look at it separately. In any case, she is only so attracted and obsessed with him, and is willing to live and die with him.

Now that the problem has been temporarily resolved, it is time to ask the Xiao couple about it.

At the beginning of the time, I sat down and talked to her in detail.

One of the Xiao couples is named Xiao Dong and the other is Xiao Xi, which is the name on their household registration. It's a very interesting name, it doesn't look like a real name, but how can a couple have a fake name like brother and sister?

At the beginning of the time, he didn't look for it from the household registration, these easy-to-think methods, Xia Huanfeng must have used them a long time ago, so there was no need to waste any more time. What he passed was a group of people that the Xiao couple relied on to collect debts. The people under him are always changing, and the one who takes the lead is called Niu Xi, who has never changed, and has cooperated with the Xiao couple for many years.

At the beginning of the time, the experience of letting this kind of ruffian hooligan speak, was much stronger than Xia Huanfeng. It took him a day and a night to force him to tell the truth. That is, where he first met the Xiao couple, his hometown, Wujian Village, which is only forty or fifty miles away from Yangzhou.

Wujian Village is a particularly small mountain village, so small that the government often forgets its existence, living in the mountains, more than a dozen families, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and rarely communicate with the outside world.

Niu Xiwei came from Wujian Village, and when he was about ten years old, a strange man suddenly came to the village with two children and lived here. The two children were Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi, who were two years younger than him and began to play together. Unlike him, although the two children were young, they learned a lot of words, and they could also do arithmetic, saying that they were taught by Grandpa.

The three of them played together for only two years, and the three of the Xiao family said goodbye without saying goodbye and never came back.

Until five years ago, Xiao Dong took Xiao Xi back to Wujian Village, and still lived in the wooden house that their grandfather changed at that time. Niu pestered them to ask about the outside world, Xiao Dong saw that he was simple and strong, so he asked him if he would like to go out with him, and he agreed.

Later, I learned that Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi were not brothers and sisters, they were both picked up by their grandfather and raised by their side. Grandpa taught them all the skills, and asked them to go back to the old house in Wujian Village to get the money buried behind the house, and use this as a foundation to set up their own doors.

After that, Xiao Dong and Xiao Xi lent the rest of the capital while doing business, and Niu Xi, who had brute strength, led people to collect accounts, which became bigger and bigger, and gained some reputation in Yangzhou. Later, when he met Shi Ruoshan, he invited them to join the Shangguan gang and gradually became the "God of Wealth" in the gang.

Ming Yi was curious: "Since Niu Xi has such a relationship with them, why would he be willing to give it all up?" ”

Shi Chuchu wrote lightly: "He is not a particularly clever person at first glance, I talked to him, and I knew that his feelings for the Xiao couple were different, and they must be an ordinary relationship." If you care, you will be chaotic, I pretended to be a person in the official mansion to find trouble with the Xiao family, so he panicked and was willing to say anything. ”

Ming Yi didn't ask in detail, how it was, there was no difference, and there was no death, so it was understandable to use some means: "Won't Xiao Shi doubt it?" ”

"Niu Xi was frightened by me and didn't dare to tell the Xiao couple these words." At the beginning of the time, there must be some truth in having faith.

"This means that the Xiao clan really has no other purpose for going to the Shangguan gang? Acquaintance with Shi Ruoshan was just accidental? Mingyi speculated.

Shi Chuchu shook his head: "It may not be accidental, but it definitely doesn't have any intimate personal relationship with Shi Ruoshan." At present, it seems that the Shangguan gang is mainly to make money and water. ”

Ming Yi was a little pleased: "If this is the case, presumably as long as the price is right, the Xiao family may defect." ”

Shi Chuchu nodded: "From what I know from Niu Xi's mouth, the two of them stayed in the Shangguan Gang, one possibility is that it is purely for profit, then, you can give greater benefits." Another possibility is to spy on or control the Shangguan Gang, which I think is extremely unlikely, and the Shangguan Gang was just a small and unknown gang at the time. ”

What Ming Yi didn't understand was that he was obviously going to investigate the Xiao family's affairs, how could he involve the grandfather at the beginning of the time? There seems to be another person among them, who appeared and disappeared very abruptly, that is, the "grandpa" who picked up and raised the Xiao couple.

Ming Yi understood and asked, "Is the grandfather of the Xiao couple your grandfather?" ”

Shi Chuchu said with a smile: "It is very likely that I went to Wujian Village this time and visited more than a dozen families, some of whom were old or deceased, or too young at the time, and two or three people still remember that the body shape they described was completely my grandfather." 2k reading network
