Chapter 254: Tang Xiao Appears
"Tell me, what do you think, or who did you guess?"
Su Qi'an's inquiry, Shui Sheng shook his head, "Sir, this is just a subordinate speculation, and now we have suffered a lot of losses, if we really go to screening, it will definitely hurt the hearts of the brothers, this matter is better to wait for Mr. to calm people's hearts, and then investigate in private."
Su Qi'an nodded, looked at Shui Sheng seriously, and said softly, "Shui Sheng, it's really three days, you should be impressed, you have grown a lot now."
"Sir praised it falsely, aquatic life is just a matter of doing its part, if the subordinates can be alerted early, I am afraid that the casualties of the brothers will not be so big, and the shopkeeper Qin will not be arrested."
Shui Sheng's self-blame, Su Qi'an patted him on the shoulder, relieved, and then everyone entered Lingbei City one after another.
It's been almost a year since I left Lingbei County, and there hasn't been much change, perhaps because Xizhou Mu ordered a search.
The streets of Lingbei County were deserted, and everyone walked all the way without speaking, especially the New Army, whose faces were a little sad.
The guards who followed Su Qi'an back glanced at one of them, who had a good relationship with Huang Wenyan, and he swept his gaze, as if he had noticed something unusual.
He said in a low voice to Huang Wenyan beside him, "Strategist, this street seems to be a little too quiet, will this be?"
Before the guard could finish speaking, he was stopped by Huang Wenyan's gaze, and the guard instantly realized that he had said the wrong thing.
Nodding his head again and again, his face returned to his normal color, but his palm unconsciously rested on the hilt.
The streets were deserted, and after walking for a while, everyone finally arrived at Lingbei County.
At the gate of the county ya, there was no guarded officer, so he should have gone to report.
As soon as Su Qi'an and the others stepped forward, the officials ran out and went out to greet them.
Said to Su Qi'an, "The county magistrate has already prepared the wine, and specially asked me to wait to greet Mr. Su."
Su Qi'an didn't speak, just nodded, and then under the leadership of the officials, he entered the Lingbei County Ya.
The place where they went was the meeting room of the county government, and with Su Qi'an walking, in front of them, they were greeted by the newly appointed He County Commander.
He Xianling walked briskly and greeted Su Qi'an for a while, like a friend he hadn't seen for a long time.
Although it is very enthusiastic, it always gives people a sense of unreality, that unreal, and it feels a little nervous.
Su Qi'an didn't mean to poke it, and greeted this He County Commander, and soon everyone entered the living room.
A table of good dishes had already been prepared in the hall, and He Xianling said to the officials, "Quickly prepare hot water, let Mr.'s subordinates take a good bath and eliminate fatigue."
Under Su Qi'an's acquiescence, except for Su Yong and Huang Wenyan, who stayed to accompany them, the rest of the people were arranged under the leadership of the officials.
Everyone sat down, and He Xianling first raised his glass and signaled, "Mr. Su has really worked hard all the way, but fortunately, he is finally back and can reunite with his family, this county is not so capable, so he can only do his best, and I hope Mr. will not blame."
"He County Order is outside, He County Order can take such a risk, which makes Su grateful, for the rest, what else can Su ask for."
"Yes, He County Order, what is Mr. Person, you also know that if there is no He County Order, we people are afraid that we will not be able to escape the poison, come, this cup I will respect you on behalf of Mr."
Shui Sheng also added on the side, raising his wine glass as he spoke, and gestured towards He County Order.
It's just that the aquatic toast is a little embarrassing, because, at the table, he is the only one who gets up and signals.
Like Su Yong, Huang Wenyan and others, they were motionless, which made Shui Sheng's face a little stiff.
He said softly, "Sir, after all, we have received the kindness of He County's order, and Su Yong and they have not expressed anything, which is inevitably a little inappropriate."
He Xianling smiled and waved his hand, "Hey, this is a trivial matter, it's nothing, they are all capable men of Mr., it is normal to be a little arrogant, don't hurt the harmony because of this little thing."
He County Ling said this, but Su Yong and Huang Wenyan were still indifferent. It's like I didn't see it.
Shui Sheng is in his position, although he can't be compared with Su Yong, but no matter what he says, he is also one of Su Qi'an's henchmen.
And He Xianling lowered his posture so low, but these two people were indifferent, which was really a bit unacceptable.
Shui Sheng frowned and continued, "Sir, aren't you going to take care of them, they will lose their face if they do this."
"Sir, there is a subordinate who has to say that Mr. is too spoiled for them, and this will harm them."
The aquatic is aggressive, and He Xianling, who is next to him, still wants to play a round, but at this time, Su Qi'an, who has not spoken, is the way.
"Shuisheng, are you going too far? When will you still be so aggressive, I remember, it seems that I didn't teach you."
"You're so eager, could it be that this wine hides some secret behind it?"
Being so little by Su Qi'an, Shui Sheng's face changed, but he quickly recovered and explained to Su Qi'an.
"Sir, this matter is abrupt by the subordinates, and the subordinates just want to express their gratitude to He Xianling for reaching out to him."
"Since Mr. said so, it was the subordinate's fault, and in order to apologize, the subordinate punished himself with three cups."
Saying that, Shui Sheng drank three cups in a row, and arched his hand at Su Qi'an and said, "Sir, my subordinates know that they are wrong, and it is no longer appropriate to stay here, so my subordinates will go down to punish themselves with military sticks."
Shui Sheng put down the wine glass, and after saying this, he was about to leave, but as soon as he left with his front foot, he was stopped by Su Qi'an with his back foot.
"Shuisheng, why are you in such a hurry? Are you going to ventilate?"
Su Qi'an's words made Shui Sheng stunned in place, he turned around and looked at Su Qi'an with a puzzled face.
"What did you say, sir?"
Su Qi'an's face was indifferent, and he said with a smile, "Hehe, it's nothing, I'll tell you a story."
"I returned to Lingbei County, I was chased and killed all the way, and my whereabouts were even more uncertain, but it happened that I was about to return to Lingbei County, and I met you who went out to look for me, let's take this as a coincidence."
"After finding me, on the way back to the county seat, he deliberately revealed the existence of a traitor, so he spread suspicions, in order to plant a seed of doubt in my heart."
"Finally, I met with He County Order, I remember that the friendship between me and He County Order was not so deep, He County Order dared to risk the state pastor's order to lend a hand for Su Qi'an, who did not know life and death."
"And this help is really generous, it will take tens of thousands of people in Dongshan Village in one go, and it can respond to so many people under the nose of Xizhou Mu, He County's ability to hide from the sky and the sea really makes Su admire."
Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but the eyes of Shui Sheng and He Xian Ling who listened to it flashed, and Shui Sheng wanted to explain something, but was stopped by Su Qi'an.
"Shuisheng, you are good at everything, but one day you are too pretending to be smart, you were not like this at the beginning, but in half a year, haven't you found that you have changed?"
Su Qi'an looked at Shui Sheng, a pair of calm eyes, as if he had seen through all ghosts, let Shui Sheng want to quibble, and when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't refute them after all.
Su Qi'an retracted his gaze, looked ahead, and said softly, "Okay, I've been playing with you for so long, and I've had enough, so I've called your master out."
"If I'm not mistaken, your master should be impatient now, Tang Xiaoshizi, am I right?"
"Su is not afraid to go to your ambush, doesn't the prince still refuse to show up to meet you."
Su Qi'an said this, and in the curtain in front of him, a laugh rang out.
"Hehe, if you are worthy of Dongshan Hou, you know that all the schemes can't escape your eyes."
The words fell, and Tang Xiao walked out from behind the curtain.
Seeing this, Shui Sheng and He Xian Ling saluted respectfully to Tang Xiao, Tang Xiao waved his hand casually, and said to Shui Sheng.
"Shui Sheng, it seems that you still underestimate your own master, and you have to continue to experience it in the future."
Shui Sheng nodded, then stepped aside, Tang Xiao stepped forward and sat opposite Su Qi'an very casually.
Even the few people behind Su Qi'an, with their palms on them
On the handle of the knife, there was no change on Tang Xiao's face.
It's as if everything is under his control.
Seeing Tang Xiao appear, Su Qi'an said softly, "I'm actually very curious, what price did you spend to make my village captain choose to betray?"
Tang Xiao didn't hide his meaning, and said with a smile, "Hehe, it's very simple, I can give him what you can't give, Dongshan Hou, you are too careless, human nature will never be able to withstand the test."
"Marquis of Dongshan, you have been promoted step by step from Xiucai, to Earl, and even now to become a marquis, which can be described as infinitely beautiful, but have you ever thought about your brothers?"
"You are in Kyoto, and these brothers of yours fought for you in the back, and what did you get in the end? What have you thought of for them, but it's just hypocrisy."
"And I can give all the glory and wealth to these brothers of you, even including you, as long as you are willing to surrender and take Su Qi'an for the son of this world, in Xizhou, what you want, money, beauty, power, as long as you open your mouth, this son can do it."
Tang smiled and said, his eyes crossed Su Qi'an, looking at Su Yong and Huang Wenyan behind him.
In Tang Xiao's view, in this world, there is nothing that money can't buy, as long as the price is enough, anyone can use it for their own use.
The two turned a blind eye to Tang Xiao's solicitation, and Tang Xiao didn't care about it.
Su Qi'an's henchmen like Shui Sheng can be recruited by him, and as for these people, it is only a matter of time before they are taken down.
Moreover, the effect of the aquatic solicitation was excellent, destroying the third-level intelligence point that Su Qi'an left in Xizhou in one fell swoop.
It was quite a blow to Su Qi'an, and now he wants to see Su Qi'an's changed face the most, and it is best to be annoyed and angry.
After fighting Su Qi'an for so long, he has never won once, and now, he can finally stand tall in front of Su Qi'an.
This feeling of taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle made Tang Xiao quite happy, this time he came, in addition to wanting to take down Su Qi'an, more importantly, he wanted to humiliate Su Qi'an in person.
