Huang Shiren went to Xiong's house and directly found Xiong Dawei, the head of the Xiong family, and the two old guys went directly into the room, retreated from everyone, and began to plan secretly.

At the same time, Ma Shuo finally came to the City Lord's Mansion all the way under the leadership of Feng Zheng. Qi Jing sat in the carriage and followed all the way.

The City Lord's Mansion, of course, is not something that can be entered casually. So after arriving at the door, Feng Zheng asked Ma Shuo and Qi Jing to wait at the door first, and then report and ask for instructions when he went in. Feng Zheng didn't go in for a long time, that is, it didn't take more than ten minutes, and he hurriedly ran out of it.

"Come with me, two!" Feng Zheng made an inviting gesture.

"Please!" Ma Shuo replied.

Ma Shuo soon met Ximenxiong, the lord of Huangsha City. Ximen Xiong is very burly, in his early fifties, and has a momentum that is not angry but powerful.

"Lord Hui, someone brought it here!" Feng Zheng took Ma Shuo and the others to Ximen Xiong, bowed down and reported.

"Alright, you go down!" Ximen Xiong directly asked Feng Zheng to retreat.

"Your name is Ma Shuo! Got into a conflict with the Huang family on the way? Feng Zheng withdrew, and Ximen Xiong got straight to the point and asked Ma Shuo directly.

"If you go back to the city lord, the border people don't know what the people of the Huang family are, but they encountered a wave of mountain bandits on the way, and accidentally killed a few!" Ma Shuo's expression remained unchanged, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"What a gut! The lord of this city will not beat around the bush with you. What did you take from those bandits? "Simon Xiong is more concerned about this.

"Some silver and two coins! A horse. Oh, and a letter! Ma Shuo hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to take out the letter, this thing was useless to him. However, Ma Shuo knew very well in his heart that this letter was definitely a trouble. Whether it is the people of the Huang family or this city lord, I am afraid that what they are most concerned about is this letter. Obviously, if this letter is not taken out, Ma Shuo will definitely be in trouble at that time.

Although Ma Shuo also knew very well that if he took out this letter, he would definitely offend the Huang family. However, if he didn't take it out, the City Lord's Mansion would definitely not let him go. After weighing it, he might as well hand over the letter to the City Lord's Mansion. What's more, the previous behavior of the Huang family also angered Ma Shuo a little, and he sent someone to intercept and kill, which was already a face-rending move.

"Your Excellency, please see, this is the letter!" Immediately, without waiting for the other party to ask again, Ma Shuo had already taken out the letter. The seal of the letter has been handled by Ma Shuo, and ordinary people can easily tell that Ma Shuo has opened the letter.

Ximen Xiong stretched out his hand to take the letter handed over by Ma Shuo, but did not open it, but carefully looked at the envelope with scrutinizing eyes, and then looked at Ma Shuo's expression. After a slight pause, Simon opened the letter, apparently not giving any clues.

The content of the letter was not much, so Ximen Xiong quickly read it.

At the level of Ximenxiong, it is no longer difficult to lose joy and anger. So, from this guy's face, I couldn't tell what he was thinking after reading the letter.

"Come on, take this strong man and his companions down to rest!" Ximen Xiong didn't say anything else, and directly arranged for someone to take Ma Shuo and Qi Jing down to rest. Obviously, Ximen Xiong didn't plan to let Ma Shuo and the others leave immediately. At the same time, as soon as Ma Shuo and the others left the room, Ximen Xiong found his confidant master with the letter and gave the letter to the other party.

How Ximen Xiong planned, Ma Shuo was not interested in paying attention. After he and Qi Jing were taken down by the people of the City Lord's Mansion, they were quickly arranged in the guest room. The City Lord's Mansion obviously didn't look up to Ma Shuo and the others too much, so the guest rooms arranged were also the lowest, and there was only one room.

In this regard, Ma Shuo did not express any dissatisfaction. The guest rooms in the City Lord's Mansion, even if they were of the lowest class, were actually much better than the dilapidated houses in his village. Therefore, Ma Shuo unceremoniously used the water inside to wash his face first. Of course, he also asked Qi Jing to take advantage of this opportunity to wash up.

Although the two are nominally husband and wife, living in the same room like this is still somewhat embarrassing for Qi Jing. There was only one bed in the room, so the two of them could only lie down next to each other and sleep in their clothes.

Ma Shuo and Qi Jing didn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion for too long, and the next morning, he was informed that he could leave the City Lord's Mansion. Not only that, but the city lord of Ximen Xiong did not see them again, and even did not say anything.

In fact, Ma Shuo didn't know that just when they slept in the city lord's mansion with embarrassment and slept all night, earth-shaking changes had taken place in Huangsha City. After getting the letter provided by Ma Shuo, after some weighing, Ximen Xiong still decided to do it.

So, in the middle of the night, the city guards directly went out to surround the Huang family and arrested the Huang family on the charge of banditry.

Everyone in the Huang family was also prepared, and after Huang Shiren and Xiong Dawei conspired, the Xiong family also secretly temporarily sided with the Huang family. The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, of course Xiong Dawei knows this truth, once the Huang family is really annexed by the City Lord's Mansion, then in Huangsha City, his Xiong family can only be a man with his tail between his legs in the future.

Because of the secret support of the Xiong family, the city protector's operation to capture the Huang family encountered great trouble. In the end, the two sides fell directly into a melee, and the battle lasted for nearly two hours, before finally ending in a crushing victory for the city protectors.

In the end, the Huang family did not escape the result of annihilation, but Huang Qiao, the eldest son of the Huang family, still took advantage of the chaos to escape, and he didn't know what to do. And the City Lord's Mansion also suffered a lot of losses, just worshipping masters of this level lost five, and the city guards lost nearly three hundred people.

The Huang family has since become history, and the city lord's mansion has swallowed up most of the Huang family's resources. This time, the Xiong family's covert intervention was not able to change the fate of the Huang family, and the Xiong family reacted as soon as they saw the Huang family being destroyed.

Xiong Dawei immediately notified the people in charge of the Xiong family, shrunk various industries, and left Huangsha City with a large amount of resources and funds from secret channels. At the same time, the main personnel of the Xiong family also left Huangsha City as soon as possible.

The Xiong family's resolute retreat disappointed the City Lord's Mansion very much, but there was nothing to stop it. Because the loss this time is also very large for the City Lord's Mansion, especially the loss of the city guard, even Ximen Xiong, as the city lord, must find a way to replenish the lost manpower as soon as possible. Otherwise, once General Zhenmanguan is held accountable at that time, Ximen Xiong will also be unlucky.

Although the main task of the city guard army is to protect Huangsha City and the city lord's mansion, it still belongs to the border army system and is part of the town guard corps in terms of subordination. As the lord of the castle, you can command the city guards within a certain amount of authority, but you can't cause heavy losses to the city guards for personal reasons.

Therefore, this time Ximenxiong's behavior is actually somewhat illegal.

The Huang family was taken care of, and in general, the gains were greater than the losses. Therefore, Ximenxiong's heart is still happy and dominant. Of course, at this time, a little person like Ma Shuo has no value.

Ximen Xiong didn't mean to unload the mill and kill the donkey, so he simply let the other party go.
