"That's right, the people of the Zhou family have already gone down the mountain."

Bai Shao said, "The little food of the Xu family is definitely not enough. We might as well give the news directly to Xu Zerong and let him bring someone to find it himself."

"He won't necessarily believe it!"

"At this time, Xu Zerong is completely a soldier, and we give him the news of food, and he may not have the courage to go."

Bai Shu said in a deep voice, "That's not necessarily. The Xu family should also know that their family has been targeted by too many people, and he also needs this food now to show his loyalty."

"I don't agree."

Bai Shao: "Third child, if we keep that food, it will only be endless trouble."

When they were in the mountains, the brother and sister decided to leave all the food behind, and when they returned, they had to hide half of it.

Now, knowing the reason, they should return the grain.

Bai Shu also said, "This grain is very dangerous for us to put here, not only the Xu family looking for us, but also the Zhou family will not give up."

"What are you afraid of! It's not what you say, don't be cowardly."

Bai Shao gritted her teeth, "No, the food must be given to them."

"No. Our brothers are more or less injured, and we can't make this trip in vain. It just so happens that there is enough food for us to hide in the mountains until next spring."

The other two were at a stalemate with the brother and sister.

Mud Alley.

Lu Nanfeng was squatting in the meager sunlight, chatting with a few beggars sitting on the ground.

"Chunfeng Mansion is still in the hands of your lady, Ah Wu should be careful."

"Watch out for what?" Lu Nanfeng asked softly.

"Be careful that your lady was abducted by that kid from the Zhou family. You see, everyone knows what they like, help your lady deal with the Xu family, and you are still playing with us in the mud here."

Lu Nanfeng chuckled, "Do you mean that Zhou Yongheng wants to push out the Xu family as a substitute for the dead ghost?"

When several beggars heard Lu Lanfeng ask, they all shook their heads and laughed.

In their opinion, Lu Nanfeng was still in the mood to consider this matter at this time, this was not taking the daughter of the Meng family seriously at all!

But at this point, Lu Nanfeng is still very sure that Meng Zhiyi will definitely not walk with Zhou Yongheng. At this point, he still understands Meng Zhiyi.

Lu Nanfeng asked again, "Has Zhou Yongheng made any recent moves?"

One beggar said, "He's too conceited. He probably didn't expect that Xu Zerong was not so stupid."

Lu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at him.

The beggar then said, "Ah Wu also thought that Xu Zerong would be stupid and wanted to surrender?"

Lu Nanfeng was about to ask him a few more words, when he heard movement in the house. Lu Nanfeng got up and shook his robe, and when he went back to the house, he saw that Xuanyi had already returned.

"Master, the Zhou family has already transported all the grain back to the Xu family. But there is a lot less food."

Lu Nanfeng: "The brother and sister hid some of the grain?"

"Yes, that grain should still be in the mountains."

Lu Nanfeng's face turned cold, "It's not a small courage. Go and see where the brother and sister live, and see if they can go back."

Xuan Yi asked, "Do we want to tell the Xu family directly about the rest of the grain?"

Lu Nanfeng said, "The Xu family will also know that the grain is still in the mountains. If he wants to, he will definitely continue to send people to find him."

"Yes." Genichi left.

Hunting grounds.

Xu Zerong was standing with Zhou Yongheng, looking at the food on the cart in front of him.

Xu Zerong was very angry, "What are you doing with this little bit of food?"

Zhou Yongheng smiled lazily: "Master Xu, can you figure it out, just this little bit of food, I still got it back for you."

Xu Zerong's face was a little embarrassed, "Xiao Zhou family master, you said that this is not what the Meng family did, but who else in this Jiangnan City can have this strength."

not

Wrong, Xu Zerong put the pot that was robbed of the grain on the head of the Meng family for the first time, so he also went to Meng Xing to talk about it.

Zhou Yongheng's expression remained unchanged, he knew that Xu Zerong was somewhat tempting him, "It's hard to say about this matter. The Xu family master has made so many enemies, so he should be careful in the future."

"What does this mean by the head of the Xiao Zhou family?" Xu Zerong felt that Zhou Yongheng was hinting at him.

"Nothing." Zhou Yongheng didn't plan to continue this topic, "The rest of the grain is estimated to be still on that mountain, so I won't interfere in your affairs."

After Zhou Yongheng finished speaking, he planned to leave.

Xu Zerong looked at Zhou Yongheng and really didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Xu family, and he didn't even want to ask more.

But if the Zhou family wants to break off the relationship with the Xu family, it is not so easy. What's more, he didn't believe that Zhou Yongheng would have such a good heart.

Xu Zerong squinted his eyes and watched Zhou Yongheng's carriage leave, and then waved to the nursing home on the side.

"Head of the house."

"What about the wind?"

"Steward Yu should go back to the city."

Xu Zerong's eyes were gloomy, "How's the preparation over there?"

"It's all ready, so everyone is already in place, just waiting for the head of the house to speak."

"Is there any news from the mountains?"

The nurse said, "No. They should have converged."

"Let the people who arranged the ambush before also return to their positions, and watch the few houses in the city, in case they escape."

"Yes."

Xu Zerong waved his hand and asked the nursing home to leave.

Suddenly, an arrow came from there.

Xu Zerong stood still and didn't move, staring at the arrow that shot straight into his eyebrows. z.br>

Just when the arrow was an inch away from him, it suddenly stopped moving.

The tail end of the menacing arrow was caught in the hands of the guard.

"There are assassins!"

The other guards shouted, and immediately two people rushed towards the place where the arrow had been fired.

Xu Zerong's voice was gloomy, "Catch it, kill it!"

"Yes."

Immediately, four more nurses chased in that direction.

In the woods.

A man looks back as he runs.

After a while, there was movement not far behind him, and he immediately sped up.

This chase lasted two hours, and finally lost the target.

Zhiyi-in.

Escort Zhang was announcing, "Bai Shao has gone to find Bai Shu, and presumably he will return the grain soon."

Meng Zhiyi frowned, not taking this matter to heart.

After all, whether this food is delivered or not really has little to do with her, in essence, she is just a gesture.

"What did my dad talk to He Yang about?"

Zhang Huwei: "He Yang wants to take back Chunfeng Tower. He said that there was news to exchange with the master."

"What's the news?"

Guard Zhang shook his head, "I haven't said it yet. Because the master has already refused."

Meng Zhiyi subconsciously twisted his eyebrows.

Zhang Huwei: "I went to check on the woman who came into the Meng Mansion, her husband was eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling and often beat her, but on the day she entered the Meng Mansion, her husband disappeared."

"Then the man should be familiar with the Golden Building."

"Yes."

Meng Zhiyi: "Then you say that you have found her man's body, if she tells the truth, I will give her a sum of silver, so that she will have no worries about food and clothing in the future."

"Okay."

Mud Alley.

Before Xuanyi's people returned, Lu Nanfeng received news that Xu Zerong had found another grain.

Half of the grain was hidden before, and this was actually sent back.

Lu Nanfeng hurriedly asked, "Bai Shao has gone back to the Meng Mansion?"

"Yes. She went back to Meng

After the mansion saw the daughter of the Meng family, they went back to find Bai Shu, and then they and the others went out of the city to lead the Xu family to find the remaining grain."

After the dark guard finished speaking, he raised his eyes and glanced at it casually, and actually saw that the master who had always been expressionless actually showed a faint smile.

Lu Nanfeng was really laughing, he was thinking, how smart Meng Zhiyi was, he had already seen through his identity and knew what he was going to do.

Lu Nanfeng asked, "Where did the Xu family transport the grain?"

"It's still in the hunting ground, and Xu Zerong has no intention of returning to the city. Xu Chunrou's many letters were ignored by him."

Lu Nanfeng pondered for a moment, a little unsure of what Xu Zerong was going to do, "Has there been any movement in the city recently?"

"If there is any movement, it is that there are many merchants coming back, and there are quite a lot of people entering and leaving the city at the city gate every day. By the way, the blacksmith didn't send out the iron today."

"Where's Zhou Yongheng?"

"He went back to Zhou's house and sent two letters to Kyoto."

Lu Nanfeng fell silent.

At this moment, Lu Nanfeng and Meng Zhiyi both have an idea, that is, everything is too normal and too quiet.

At the same time, Zhou Yongheng received a letter from Kyoto.

[The eldest prince and concubine, the eldest son went to the temple to pray for the blessing of the public family, accompanied by two hundred royal forest troops. 】

At this time, he actually took the initiative to leave the imperial city!

Zhou Yongheng stared at the letter for a long time.

"Someone."

The door opened, and a servant entered.

Zhou Yongheng asked, "What about He Yang? Did you find the woman?"

"Nope. He is idle at home, and he has only seen the head of the Meng family recently."

Zhou Yongheng wrinkled his eyebrows, "What's going on in the Meng Mansion recently?"

"The head of the Meng family has been liquidating the matter of the store, and it has been transferred to many of our stores. In addition, I met with a few people from the Chamber of Commerce, and it seemed that they were going to step down as the president of the Chamber of Commerce."

Zhou Yongheng said to himself: "He looks like this, he feels a little bit like he wants to retire!"

The servant replied, "That's what everybody says. The head of the Meng family also said that he was old and had no energy, and he allocated ten shops to the second master of the Meng family and twenty shops to the son of the Meng family. Recently, the second master of the Meng family has been very high-profile."

Zhou Yongheng snorted with his nostrils, very disdainful, "These things are hidden from Meng Zhiyi, right?"

The little guy didn't speak.

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, "Family master, Miss He has news back."

"Come in."

The door opened, and someone came in and handed a letter.

Zhou Yongheng opened it to look at it, and then his face sank, and he was about to go outside.

"Go and prepare the New Year's goods for the Meng family. Also, bring some of the gadgets I collected earlier, and put them in separate boxes."

After Zhou Yongheng said this, he stepped out of the door of the study with one foot, and turned around to go back after thinking of something.

He returned to his desk, picked up his brush and wrote a letter, folding it. This matter is a tiger's mouth and a tooth extraction, and there is more than one luck. Zhou Yongheng was also worried about the Meng family.
