Shaw House.

The main hall of the front yard.

"Master Hou, what are you doing here today?"

"What kind of account do you speak of?"

Yun Baining was silent for a moment, then looked at Li Wuji again and asked.

"A few days ago, the second prince lost a batch of goods, Mrs. Yun won't know about it, right?"

Li Wuji smiled and asked slowly.

"I know, Hongxing came to me at that time, but my ability was really limited and I didn't help much."

"But I heard that this shipment won't be recovered?"

Yun Bai pondered for a moment and asked hesitantly.

"The goods have been recovered, but the robbers are still at large."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

"Haven't all the mountain bandits been captured by the Jinling Army and have been imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department?"

Yun Bai was stunned for a moment and asked puzzled.

"I'm talking about people who play chess, not those dispensable chess pieces."

Li Wuji pursed his lips and said with a sneer.

"I don't understand what Childe means."

Yun Bai Ning frowned and said with a puzzled expression.

"I can arrest those who can't be arrested by the Criminal Department, and I can try those who can't be tried!"

Li Wuji looked at Yun Baining and said confidently.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Yun Baining couldn't help frowning and fell silent.

"Master Hou! What do you want to do today?! Why is there always a hint of threat between the lines?! ”

"The Xiao family has always acted uprightly and brightly, you can just say it! You don't have to knock on the side! ”

Xiao Duqiu stood up suddenly, looked at Li Wuji dissatisfied, and said.

"Qiu'er!"

"Shut up!"

Yun Bai frowned, looked at Xiao Duqiu with a majestic face, and stopped in a deep voice.

Xiao Duqiu turned her head unwillingly to look at her mother, her face puzzled, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Li Wuji instantly understood in his heart that it turned out that all this was Yun Baining's trick, and Xiao Duqiu didn't know it.

"It seems that there is something that your mother did not tell you."

"There's a sentence I haven't finished yet..."

"I can kill people who can't be killed by the Criminal Department!"

Li Wuji sneered, and said disdainfully while moving his gaze from Xiao Duqiu's body to Yun Baining's body.

Between the words, a faint trace of killing intent has gradually revealed in his eyes.

"Go down first!"

Yun Baining hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, his face becoming more and more solemn.

Hearing Yun Baining's words, all the subordinates in the hall, including Wu Qian, retreated one after another.

Xiao Wenqi also hesitated, glanced at Xiao Hongxing meaningfully, and turned around and left the main hall.

"And you!"

Yun Bai glared at Xiao Duqiu, who was standing motionless in place, and said in a deep voice.

"Mother?!"

Xiao Duqiu frowned, her face puzzled.

She had guessed that her mother must be hiding something, but she was reluctant to leave her alone for fear that it would not be safe.

"Go down!"

Yun Bai Ning said in a deep voice and gave the order again.

Xiao Duqiu glanced at Li Wuji solemnly, as if a warning, then snorted coldly, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

"Now that Master Hou knows, why don't you tell the Criminal Department the ins and outs of the matter?"

Yun Baining was silent for a moment, looked at Li Wuji without blinking and asked.

"If I want to say anything, I can tell the truth at any time."

"It's just that before that, I want to know what Lady Yun's plans are?"

Li Wuji smiled and asked lightly.

"Say, what does Master Hou want?"

Yun Baining chuckled lightly and asked pretending to be calm.

She knew that Li Wuji's surprise visit today was to discuss the conditions.

"It's very simple, since Mrs. Yun has handed over some of the shops to the second son to take care of, it is better to be more generous."

Li Wuji replied with a smile.

"Yes, I'll have someone give him a few more shops tomorrow."

Yun Baining smiled and said without the slightest hesitation.

But Li Wuji shook his head with a smile.

"Master Hou, it's best to be content with everything, if it's stiff, it's not good for everyone."

Yun Bai Ning frowned, lowered his voice and said.

"Threaten me?!"

"If Madam Yun wants to make the matter known to everyone, Ben Hou is willing to accompany her, but if you let Your Majesty know that the mountain bandits that suddenly appeared again in Jinling City are related to the Xiao family, do you think Your Majesty will still favor your Xiao family?"

"Don't forget, some time ago, the Qianguo Mission suffered a mountain bandit robbery in Jinling City, and at that time, the Jinling Army closed the mountain to suppress the bandits, and the mountain bandits in the area of Jinling City had already been wiped out!"

"At this time, the bandits are back in trouble, how do you ask Your Majesty to explain to the people of Jinling City? How to explain to Qianguo?! ”

"Do you think that once the matter is revealed, Your Majesty will still protect you?!"

Li Wuji stared at Yun Baining's eyes and asked word by word.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Yun Baining's brows furrowed instantly, his face was extremely solemn, and he was speechless for a while.

She also thought about this when she made the plan, but at that time she felt that the opportunity could not be lost, and she did not think much about it, nor did she think that things would be revealed so quickly.

What's more, she wasn't the one who came up with the plan!

"I've always been a fair person, if you want to calm things down, it's actually very simple, as long as the Xiao family takes out half of the property and hands it over to the second son to take care of, I can treat it as if nothing happened."

After being silent for a moment, Li Wuji spoke slowly again.

"What?!"

Listening to Li Wuji's words, Yun Baining's face changed suddenly, her eyes widened in surprise, and she couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Hongxing, who had been pale-faced on the side, couldn't help but open his mouth wide at this time, and turned his head to look at Li Wuji in disbelief.

"Of course, you can also choose to refuse, but what will happen after tonight, Ben Hou can't guarantee."

Li Wuji pursed his lips, said lightly, and got up and walked out directly.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongxing also stood up, and he didn't come back to his senses yet.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Li Wuji was about to walk to the door, Yun Baining finally couldn't help but speak.

Hearing Yun Baining's words, Li Wuji slowly stopped, and a sly sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"If I agree, how can Master Hou guarantee that this matter will not be revealed?!"

Yun Bai Ning looked at Li Wuji, who was facing away from him, gritted his teeth and asked.

"Just rely on the three words Anhou!"

"Don't worry, those mountain bandits will be locked up in the prison forever, and they will never see the light of day again, as for whether they will speak again, it's up to Mrs. Yun."

Li Wuji said with confidence, and his tone was firm.

"Good! Deal! ”

Yun Baining clenched his fists and hesitated to agree, feeling that his whole heart was dripping blood.

Li Wuji didn't say anything more, raised his head and chuckled a few times, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Hongxing turned his head and glanced at Yun Baining meaningfully, and followed out quickly.

Yun Bai sat slumped in his chair, watching Li Wuji gradually disappear from his sight, his eyes full of boundless resentment.

"Mother, what did you promise him?!"

"What the hell is going on?!"

After a while, Xiao Duqiu quickly rushed into the main hall and came to Yun Baining's face, asking with a puzzled expression.

But Yun Baining's face was already pale, and she couldn't say a word, and half of the Xiao family's industry, which she had worked hard to run for many years, was buried by her overnight!

A moment later.

Outside the Xiao Mansion.

"Thank you, Childe!"

Xiao Hongxing made a big salute respectfully towards Li Wuji, and the gratitude on his face was difficult to describe in words.

When Li Wuji claimed to make him the next head of the Xiao family, he originally thought it was just a joke that would never come true.

But how long has it been, and he is about to own the property of the ordinary Xiao family, and he can't even think about it before.

"This is just the beginning, your road is still very long, sooner or later, the entire Xiao family will be yours."

Li Wuji smiled, stretched out his hand to help Xiao Hongxing, and said lightly.

When such words sound to others, they may think that someone is crazy, but when Xiao Hongxing hears it, he is convinced, he always feels that the Li'an Hou in front of him is a person who can create miracles at all times.

"Okay, go back, you're busy for the next few days."

Li Wuji smiled, waved goodbye, turned around and got into the carriage, and drove straight in the direction of Anhou Mansion.

Xiao Hongxing stood on the stone steps at the door, watching the carriage that Li Wuji was sitting in disappear from his sight...
