The government office, the inner courtyard,

Lord Zhao looked at the head of the Xu family with a complicated expression, and asked:

"The head of the Xu family, are you serious this time?"

The head of the Xu family did not answer this question, but a wry smile appeared on his cheeks.

"Lord Zhao, the Xu family is finished."

"The reason why I want to see you alone is because I want to say thank you."

As soon as these words came out, Lord Zhao was suddenly confused.

He really couldn't figure out what the head of the Xu family had to thank him in person.

However, without waiting for him to raise the doubts in his heart, the head of the Xu family said to himself:

"Today's Xu family, only the frontier can be distributed, and maybe a little incense can be left. Lord Zhao's kindness, Xu remembered it in his heart. ”

"Lord Zhao, the old man also gave you a piece of advice."

"Let's go back to Beijing as soon as possible, this Jiangnan ...... It's going to be a change! ”

……

At this moment, outside the water town,

Several carriages are moving in the direction of the main city of Wuzhou,

Yang Dong sat in the carriage, his eyes closed, enjoying Yao Jia's service.

Since Yao Jia began to practice, not to mention entering the realm, even the strength in his hands has increased a lot.

Especially when pinching the shoulders, it is particularly comfortable.

Just as Yang Dong was secretly enjoying this rare leisure time, suddenly a rapid sound of horses' hooves interrupted his enjoyment.

At the same time, a hurried voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Yang Gong, something happened!"

"The latest news, the Xu family in Jiangnan took the initiative to surrender to the chief officer of Wuzhou!"

"What did you say!?"

Yang Dong opened his eyes suddenly, jumped up, and jumped out of the carriage.

He looked at the agent in front of him, frowned and asked:

"The Xu family surrendered, is it a collateral? Or ......"

"It's not a sideline!"

The agent took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.

"Yang Gong, without exception, the Xu family has all surrendered to the government of Wuzhou."

"Now none of them are left behind, and they are all locked up in the prison of Wuzhou."

“？？？”

Yang Dong's face was full of shock, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

He had just discussed with Yu Xiaoyu and the little young woman yesterday, and had a preliminary plan to investigate the Xu family.

But they never expected that before they could investigate, the Xu family would take the initiative to surrender?

No, there must be a problem!

Either the Xu family is suspicious and used to draw his attention.

Either that, there is something else hidden!

Thinking of this, he immediately opened his mouth and commanded:

"Let's go all out today, be sure to rush to Wuzhou City before dark!"

……

Outside Wuzhou,

An old beggar rubbed his shriveled stomach and looked around for a long time.

It wasn't until he repeatedly confirmed that no one around him was staring at him that he carefully took out a small piece of cooking cake from his bosom and stuffed it into his mouth.

This person is not an outsider, it is the dignified chief official of Wuzhou-Lord Zhao.

After he got the hint from the head of the Xu family yesterday, he immediately made an escape plan.

Finally, today, with the acting skills of this earth-shattering ghost god, after experiencing countless times on the verge of life and death, he successfully escaped from Wuzhou City.

Looking back now, he felt a faint chill in his back.

Under the wealth and prosperity of the Jiangnan faction, there is such a hidden murderous opportunity.

It's a pity that the Xu family is old and young......

Alas......

Lord Zhao sighed softly, and was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly saw a caravan, which was about to enter the city.

"Now that I come to Wuzhou City to do business, I'm afraid I'm going to take my life!"

"These businessmen are really not here at the right time!"

As he spoke, he turned and left. But he never expected that when he turned around, a cynical teenager stared straight at him.

"Old man, tell me, why did you come to Wuzhou City to do business at this moment, and you would take your life?"

"What is the life, you heard it wrong, the old man doesn't know anything!"

Lord Zhao's face changed, and he decided to slip away.

For this troubled water in Jiangnan, he really doesn't want to swim. At this moment, he just wants to be an old salted fish with peace of mind.

It's just that he doesn't know if it's his luck or misfortune, and he happened to meet Yu Xiaoyu who came out to investigate the situation.

Of course, Yu Xiaoyu didn't know the true identity of Lord Zhao.

He just thought that the old beggar seemed to know something, and he planned to interrogate him briefly.

But I didn't expect this old beggar to react so violently.

This only aroused his alarm!

After all, if he didn't know something, the old beggar would definitely not choose to slip away.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoyu immediately made a decision, grabbed the old beggar by the collar, and headed towards the caravan.

Seeing the direction in which Yu Xiaoyu was going, Lord Zhao's face turned green.

I worked hard and finally escaped from Wuzhou City.

As a result, this kid who doesn't talk about martial arts wants to bring himself back?

"Stinky boy, let go of the old man!"

"If you want to know anything, the old man will tell you!"

"I don't want to go into the city, don't go into the city!"

"Damn boy, Wori you immortal!"

……

Listening to the old beggar's scolding, Yu Xiaoyu felt more and more that he had picked up the treasure.

Although this old thing is dirty at the outside, it seems to be something. Maybe it will be helpful for Master's next investigation.

As soon as he thought of this, the pace under his feet couldn't help but be a little faster.

After a stick of incense,

In Wuzhou City, the most luxurious inn,

Yang Dong looked at the old beggar sent by Yu Xiaoyu and frowned slightly.

"Do you know something, old man?"

"As long as you are willing to say it, we promise that we will not embarrass you, and we will give you ten taels of silver!"

As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket of ten taels of silver from his cuff and shook it in front of Lord Zhao's eyes.

But now Lord Zhao only wants to run away, where does he care about any money?

Besides, it's only ten taels of silver, do you really think the old man is called Huazi?

I saw Master Zhao smile bitterly, and then said:

"Little brother, the old man doesn't want the silver. As long as you can send the old man out of the city, what do you want to ask, the old man must know everything, and he will say everything! ”

Seeing him so cooperative, Yang Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he has begun to doubt the identity of the old beggar in front of him.

After all, in his own hands, it was a full ten taels of silver!

Mo said that he was a beggar, even ordinary people couldn't turn a blind eye to ten taels of silver.

And this old beggar didn't care at all, there was only one possibility, that is, this old fellow was not short of silver at all.

If there is no shortage of silver, naturally he is not a beggar.

After all, Da Zhou is not the last life, and many people make a fortune by begging.

In the Great Zhou, where the people are still hungry and full, there is not much difference between begging and waiting for death.

So Yang Dong opened his mouth and asked:

"Tell me, I want to know who you really are."
