Out of the courtyard gate, Xu Shi found a place where no one was there to stop Xiao Yicheng, and asked bluntly: "Tell me, why?" ”

Xiao Yiwei didn't want to talk much to Xu, but he still stopped and asked, "What does my stepmother mean?" ”

Xu replied: "You know the grievances between me and Aunt Jiang, and you know what happened in between, why are you standing on her side instead of facing me?" ”

Xiao Yicheng looked back at Xu Shi and smiled, "Mother-in-law, I gave you a chance." ”

"I ......"

Xu's expression froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I said that no matter what I do, it is for the sake of the Hou Mansion, why don't you believe me?" ”

"No, I've always believed in you."

Xiao Yicheng frowned, "It's just that I don't understand, why only except for the fourth aunt can I think about the Hou Mansion?" ”

"If you don't like her, just drive her away, why bother twisting and turning around and insisting on causing death?"

Xu Shi said in a deep voice: "No, I never thought of killing her, whether you believe it or not, the robber's business has nothing to do with me." ”

"Oh?"

Xiao Yicheng snorted lightly, and the last thread in his heart began to crumble.

Xu continued: "I don't know how she went to Qinghe Town, and I don't know what she said to you, but please believe me, I have never had murderous intentions towards her, but she is her, you should be careful." ”

Xiao Yicheng looked at Xu as if he was looking at a stranger.

He had already guessed the truth, and he wanted to escape, but he couldn't control the interrogation, wanting to see if the Xu family would be honest with him.

Who knows, in the end, he hurt himself.

Xiao Yicheng was gloomy, and he no longer had the urge to continue talking to Xu.

This is his respectful mother, who is empathetic and generous on the surface, but in fact she is narrow-minded and can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes.

That being the case, then he had nothing to say to her.

Xiao Yicheng smiled slightly, and there was no emotion in his eyes, "Thank you for reminding my stepmother, I am no longer a child, and I can still distinguish between truth and falsehood, good and evil." ”

"The fourth aunt is now very popular, and grandmother has signaled to keep her, so you should accept the reality and get along with her."

Xu's heart chuckled, and his face darkened, "I don't understand, what did she do to you to make you do this to her?" ”

"The stepmother misunderstood."

Xiao Yicheng was still a little respectful, and said in a deep voice: "I am not partial to anyone, just like you said, any decision I make is also for the sake of the Hou Mansion." ”

He bowed respectfully and turned away.

Seeing this, Xu Shi only felt that his heart was even more blocked.

She couldn't help but grit her teeth secretly, and snorted angrily: "Jiang Xuan, you are really good, I underestimated you!" ”

Qiu Tao stepped forward when she heard the sound and said hurriedly: "Now that the fourth aunt is left, what should we do?" ”

"What can I do? Now that she has returned, and the silver has been taken by her to gain a good reputation, what can I do with her? ”

Although Xu Shi was angry, she quickly regained her composure and hummed: "Now, what else can I do besides working hard to make money? ”

Now that the task of driving away Jiang Juan has failed, she naturally has to grasp the end of making money.

She suddenly froze and asked, "By the way, the shop I told you about before has been arranged?" ”

Qiu Tao nodded, "The housekeeper said that the gambling hall will open in a few days, and this shop is named after a distant relative, so it will not be known." ”

"That's good, it's not too late to find a chance to get rid of her when you make enough money."

After Xu finished speaking, the boredom in his heart dissipated a little.

In the bamboo courtyard, Jiang Xuan's mind was undecided, and the word "bandits" kept appearing in his mind.

Just in front of the old lady, the reason why she said the Baishan robbers was to lure the Xu family to make a move, she took the opportunity to seize the evidence, but Xiao Yicheng actually made plans in advance.

Xiao Yicheng's men have excellent kung fu, and if the two parties really fight, the Dragon and Tiger Gang may not be able to take advantage.

They are the descendants of the Beiliang soldiers, Jiang Juan has no choice but to be honest about his identity, but he must not let the Beiliang people be bullied again.

She hesitated for a moment, wrote down a note and stuffed it into Bai Shuang's hand, and instructed: "Send a message to the Dragon and Tiger Gang, remember, don't use the carrier pigeons in the house." ”

White Frost took the note and left.

On the White Mountain, the brothers of the Dragon and Tiger Gang are discussing together.

"It's a pity that the duck in hand flew like this!"

"I said that you can't trust women, but my eldest brother didn't listen, it's good, the business of 50,000 taels is gone."

“……”

Long Hao, who was seated, glared fiercely when he heard this, grabbed the fruit and threw it at the little man.

"As far as you are the most greedy, this silver is not enough to fill your belly!"

"And you!"

He pointed sharply at the other person and rebuked, "Shut up if you can't speak," she is a woman, where can she be said to be a duck? ”

Long Hao was born strong, and when he spoke, his tone was thick and powerful, and he trembled behind the few people in the seat.

"Big brother, that's not what we meant."

"This woman is worth a little silver, who would dislike having a lot of silver?"

Long Hao glared again, startling several people to shut up immediately.

He withdrew his hand in a blink of an eye, looked at the gold and silver on the ground, and snorted: "These things are really an eyesore left in the cave, and they will be replaced with silver another day!" ”

"Yes."

The little man took the lead and asked carefully: "Then, this 50,000 taels list, do you want to continue to do it, or don't do it?" ”

Long Hao thought about it and was about to answer, when he saw a person bring a note and said, "Big brother, someone actually flew a pigeon to send a message." ”

Long Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, they were robbers, they were in the kidnapping business, and someone actually sent him a message!

He hurriedly opened it, and the next moment, he got up sharply and exclaimed: "It's not good, someone is coming to suppress the bandits, take these treasures and leave!" ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

"We have a very good relationship with the government, they are about to forget about us, how can they suddenly think of dealing with us?"

Long Hao was also puzzled, but he didn't think too much, picked up his weapon and got into a secret passage.

A group of brothers followed suit.

It didn't take long for the sound of a guy from the other end of the secret passage.

Long Hao clenched the note tightly and snorted angrily: "Heh, someone really came over." ”

The little man stomped his feet and scolded: "That woman must have done it." ”

"Everything was peaceful before she came, and after she left, someone came to raid her house, and I really regret letting her live."

"Shut up!"

Long Hao scolded sharply, and the scene when Jiang Juan fell off the cliff came to his mind.

Somehow, he always felt that Jiang Juan deliberately fell off the cliff so that the group could avoid Xiao Yicheng's sword.

Long Hao remembered it in his heart, so he took people down to look for it, and when he saw the traces of someone resting by the river, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Juan didn't die, and Xiao Yicheng didn't die.

Therefore, if his guess is correct, it is reasonable that Xiao Yicheng should be the one who came to suppress the bandits.

He paused suddenly, looked at Qingxiu's handwriting, and said firmly: "No, it won't be her." ”
