Since three years ago, the business of the Xu Family Dart Bureau has slowly become sluggish.

I don't know where the rumor came from, the Xu Family Dart Bureau was slandered and the hired dart master had unclean hands and feet and stole the goods escorted. Although Xu Lang explained everywhere, many of the previous customers no longer escorted the goods through the Xu Family Dart Bureau.

The business of the Xu family dart bureau is getting weaker and weaker, and the business of the dart board is gradually unable to support it. Xu Lang disbanded the dart master he had hired before and asked them to find another way. Fortunately, Xu Lang has also had some savings over the years, thinking that he is getting older, but the child is still young, and it is still okay if he changes his career to other small businesses in the future. Therefore, the Xu family began to operate a small business selling goods.

At this time, the people from the side branch of Xianyang's Taishou Yuan Mansion suddenly came to the door, saying that there was a batch of valuable jade that wanted to be escorted to Yumen. Because the goods are more expensive, for the sake of insurance, I hope to find an experienced dart game. and solemnly promised to pay the Xu family a generous remuneration after the matter was completed.

Xu Lang thought about it and felt that it was feasible, he could do another big business before changing careers, he could make more money, and with many years of experience, the delivery from Xianyang to Yumen was quite peaceful. After the two sides signed and drew the pledge, Xu Lang found the previous dart master, but some of the dart masters had already found other jobs, or went to other dart bureaus to work, so Xu Lang could only find someone else to make up the number in the end.

It was supposed to be a foolproof thing, but who knew that something went wrong on the way.

Xu Lang entrusted Xu Qianhe to his neighbors and personally escorted the darts. The team had just left Xianyang, and who knew that they had encountered a large group of masked bandits, something they had never encountered before.

Xu Lang himself is strong in martial arts, leading the dart master to resist. But who knows, there was a spy in the newly hired dart master before, and he turned against the water. All of a sudden, the situation was completely reversed. In the end, fortunately, nothing happened, but the goods were looted.

Afterwards, the masked man seemed to have evaporated from the world, Xu Lang inquired to no avail, it was useless to report to the official, and various dots also cost a lot of silver. Losing the escorted goods, Xu Lang had no choice but to negotiate with the owner of the goods. The owner of the goods said that Xu Lang was also a real person, and he did not let him compensate for the delayed wages and the like, and only asked for compensation according to the original price as soon as possible, but the goods were converted into 20,000 taels of silver, such a large amount of money, it was really sad.

Xu Lang sold the horses, carriages and miscellaneous things at home, plus the money accumulated in the family before, and borrowed money from acquaintances, and the total number of bits and pieces added up to a total of only five thousand taels. At the beginning, the Yuan family still politely asked for money, but slowly became impatient, and the time became worse this year.

From time to time, they will come to the door, and if they don't have money, they will smash it. Xu Lang's two fists are invincible to four hands, and there is a child a few years old at home, so he finally suffered. A year ago, Xu Lang broke his legs, and since then he can only lie down in bed, and his illness is getting worse and worse.

The children of poor families grew up early, Xu Qianhe had no mother since he was a child, and Xu Lang was also out of the house all the year round in the early years, and later he had an accident and fell ill. Until now, the family's care for Xu Lang has been pressed on this eight-year-old child, but he is only eight years old, laundry, sewing, cooking, etc., are just simple improvisation.

Xu Lang's reputation is not bad, and the evaluation of the neighbors is also good, but unfortunately his life is not good.

Hearing this, Mu Qingwan always felt that something was strange. I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I turned my head and looked at Mu Chen.

"Brother, what do you think?"

Mu Chen thought about it and asked what the situation of the Jixiang Li family was.

"Since the Li family eloped with someone, the Li family and the Xu family have also broken off contact. However, in the past few years, the Li family's shop has been closed, but it is no longer in business, but life is not bad, people on the street say that the old lady of the Li family is full of beauty, and she bragged to people all day long that she had given birth to a good son and daughter, and she felt that everyone was ten years younger. Li Jiadalang later spent money to buy a Jiupin county order, but his political performance was mediocre and he did some foolish things, but someone always pressed it down, and he was safe and secure in the past few years, and his seat was stable. "Jixiang is worthy of being specially trained by Mu Qi, and he has found so many things in a short period of time.

Hearing this, a flash of inspiration flashed. Mu Qingwan seemed to understand something. Mu Qingwan is not stupid, coupled with the fact that information on the modern network is so developed, TV series, movies, novels, etc., various routines and bloody storylines, Mu Qingwan can probably guess it.

"Brother, the Li family is also a small family in the market, and it stands to reason that there will not be so many ways to go, unless you get the help of the powerful. And the affairs of the Xu family always feel related to the Yuan family, how could the Yuan family come to the door so coincidentally, it feels like a bureau has been set up, leading Xu Lang to be fooled, and Xu Lang's medicine, if someone really secretly poisons him, he should also be a person with means, and ordinary people should not have this ability. In Xianyang, the Yuan family is the most powerful. But will the Li family, the Xu family and the Yuan family have anything to do with each other? ”

Mu Chen and Mu Qingwan glanced at each other, and said in unison, "Li! ”。

"The person who eloped with the Li family must be related to the Yuan Mansion, but the Li family has been gone for eight years, and I really can't figure out why he started to deal with Xu Lang's family three years ago." Mu Qingwan said to Mu Chen suspiciously.

"It's the fox that always leaks its tail, auspicious, you arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Li family, and then find a way to check the Yuan family." Mu Chen explained auspiciousness.

"It's a big boy."

"Ruyi, you pack up a change of clothes for Aunt Xu and send them to Xu's house, and then send five hundred taels of silver tickets over, and tell her that she doesn't have to come back in the next few days, just take care of them at the Xu family." Mu Qingwan then instructed Ruyi.

"Yes, Miss."

Ji Xiang and Ruyi bowed down and began to go their separate ways.

"Brother, what are you going to do with this matter?" Only Mu Chen and Mu Qingwan are left in the house price.

"After all, this matter is related to Aunt Xu's mother's family, for Aunt Xu's sake, we will try to help as much as we can. It's just that this is not Pingcheng, and we are not familiar with the place. The strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, everything must be acted upon. Sister, although this matter is related to Aunt Xu, you can't act rashly. After thinking about it, Mu Chen said to Mu Qingwan.

Mu Chen's idea is not selfish, and the current world is not a legal society. Moreover, Mu Chen is fifteen years old and Mu Qingwan is ten years old, and in modern times, the two of them are only junior high school students and primary school students. In Xianyang, the two of them don't have much power, so it's always good to be cautious. Mu Qingwan agreed with Mu Chen's opinion and nodded.

"Well, brother, I see."

After dinner, I came back in the afternoon with Hu Zhao, who went to investigate the two girls in the restaurant.

"Hu Zhao, why did you come back so late? Did you find anything? Mu Qingwan asked.

"Miss Hui. The subordinates followed those two people all the way, and really found some interesting things. "Hu Zhao followed Mu Qi and other masters from the Pingcheng Mufu School to train, those were all soldiers, so Hu Zhao was used to calling himself a subordinate to Mu Qingwan.
