Tang Biao and Tang Bao brought more than a dozen people, all of whom were masters of the sixth or seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, although the overall strength was far inferior to Jian San and their junior brothers, but if Xiao Yi was not counted, the strength of the Xiao family at this time was really far inferior to the Tang family.

"Nephew Xiao Xian, it's a pity that Brother Xiao passed away suddenly, it's really embarrassing, please mourn!" Tang Biao took the lead in saying, but there was a smile between the words, and there was no comfort in the slightest.

"Uncle Lao Tang is worried, I don't know if the thief Yang Yan has been caught, and has Sister Yanran been rescued?" Xiao Yi replied.

Tang Biao's face sank and he didn't speak.

"He can't run!" Tang Bao said hatefully, obviously Tang Yanran's disappearance has become a scar on the Tang family.

"Brother Xiao, I don't care about the affairs of you and the Tang family, I'm just here to ask for an explanation, I don't know why Brother Xiao colluded with the non-precept monk to oppose the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, doesn't Brother Xiao know that the two non-precept monks are the remnants of the Demon Sect?" Jian San said.

"Where is the third brother of the sword, how dare I go against the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, the third brother of the sword, don't listen to the slander of the villain!" After speaking, Xiao Yi looked at the Tang family brothers.

"Xiao family baby, I advise you to admit it, otherwise we are welcome, there was more than one person who saw the unprecepted monk mixed in the funeral procession that day!" Tang Biao said.

"It's okay, come on, bring him up!" Xiao Yi glanced at the Tang brothers and shouted outside the door.

Under the doubts of the Tang family brothers and Jian San, two family members and a person who was tied up by five flowers came in outside the door, and the kidnapped person was unkempt and disheveled, and he couldn't see his face clearly with his head down.

"Xiao family's little baby, this can't be a monk who doesn't quit, it doesn't look like it!"

Tang Biao scoffed. Kenzo also looked at him suspiciously.

"Naturally, he is not a non-monk, but he is a person who knows the inside story. Xiao Yi said lightly, "Tang Hai, tell me your identity and everything you know in front of everyone!"

"Tang Hai, how could you be kidnapped by the people of the Xiao family, Xiao Yi, what do you mean by this?" Tang Biao shouted after seeing the person's face.

Uncle Tang was calm and listened to him. Xiao Yat said

"The villain's name is Tang Hai, he is the manager of the Tangjiashan City Casino, a few days ago, Uncle Tang Biao ordered Xiao to prepare a private residence, saying that it was to be kept absolutely confidential, and the villain went to do it. Later, two people lived in that place, one with a bald head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a short and fat body, and the other was handsome and holding a sword. After the two of them stayed, the little one arranged for someone to deliver food and serve them every day. ”

Tang Hai didn't finish speaking, Tang Biao's face changed over there, and he flashed a palm, this side of the painting had already prepared, while protecting Tang Hai, he punched out with a palm, and Tang Biao slapped it, the painting just broke through the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow, Tang Biao is the master of the eighth layer of the day after tomorrow, this kind of hard fighting internal force, the painting is naturally not as good as Tang Biao, he took three or four steps back before standing still, his face was a little pale, and he calmed down for a while before he eased up.

"Why should the Tang family master be in a hurry to kill people, I am not a stupid person, I have my own opinions!" After saying this, Jian San gave a look, and the two eighth-story junior disciples behind him faintly looked at Brother Tang Biao.

You go on. "Three ways of the sword.

"Two days ago, for some reason, someone fought in the small courtyard where the two lived, and the courtyard was embarrassed, seeing that they could no longer live, and the monk was injured again, Uncle Tang let the small arrangement mix these two people in the Xiao family's funeral procession, mixed through the city gate, I heard that it was the north to the capital, the villain knew this!" Tang Hai finished speaking, bowed his head and stopped talking.

"Nonsense, don't listen to the three young men of the sword, this person must have been bought by the little baby of the Xiao family to frame me!" Tang Biao argued.

"Let me ask you, what evidence do you have?" Jian San asked Tang Hai.

"The villain was also mixed in the Xiao family's funeral procession at that time, but was later recognized by the Xiao family, to say evidence, the yard I prepared is the property in my name, and my name is on the deed. The other two have already gone north to the capital, and Uncle Tang said that in order to confuse you, he will tell you that they are going south!"

Jian San frowned, he had already believed seven points at this time, first of all, the matter of the house deed was very easy to check, and the head of the Tang family did tell him that the two had gone south.

And the information that he would get from the Tang family about the two of them going south was not something that could be made up casually.

In addition, the mysterious person who was with the unprecepted monk before had caused trouble to frame the Qi family, and later tracked down the Tang family. At this time, I thought about it, it was really the Tang family who saved the two, but it didn't make sense, and later the Tang family took him to the brothel to arrest people.

Jian San frowned, this matter is quite contradictory, it is difficult to judge, whether it is to go south or north, whether it is the Tang family who planted the Qi family and the Xiao family, or the Xiao family's strategy.

Jian San didn't speak, and there was silence in the room for a while, and the atmosphere was so cold that it seemed to be able to condense water.

Jian San unintentionally looked at his heavy sword, and gradually stretched his brows, No matter what conspiracy you have, I will cut it with a sword. The decision was made at the moment, and the initiative was controlled in the hands first.

"Brother Xiao, it's hard to tell whether this matter is true or false, please ask the brothers and wives of the Xiao family to go north with me, and when I catch someone, the Xiao family will naturally be innocent!" Jian San said directly to Xiao Yi.

The Tang brothers were overjoyed.

Xiao Yi also smiled, squinting his eyes and looking at Jian San.

"It's worthy of Jian San of the Ten Thousand Swords Academy, and he acts so domineeringly, but it's a pity that my Xiao family doesn't take it casually!" Xiao Yi thought that his methods might not be able to fool Jian San, and he also thought that he would have to fight with him in the end. I just didn't expect Jian San to believe most of it, and he still wanted to blackmail his family to go north.

"I can trust Brother Xiao, but the matter is big, I'm afraid I can't help Brother Xiao!" Jian San finished speaking, and several junior disciples behind him drew their swords and unsheathed.

"Although the third brother of the sword is a famous family, but after all, this is a mountain city and the Xiao family, I am afraid that the third brother of the sword cannot be allowed to come, this matter is already very clear, that is, the Tang family colluded with the monks, and the third brother of the sword is still cautious!" Xiao Yi's face was slightly cold, and his tone was tough.

While Xiao Yi was speaking, dozens of people with crossbow arrows came in outside the door, and nearly 100 people with strong bows and crossbows appeared in the nearby houses and pavilions.

"Brother Xiao, not to mention that these shrimp soldiers and crabs may not be able to keep me, even if they can hurt me, I dare to guarantee that you will fall before me!" Jian San said confidently.

"How dare you do it casually with the third brother of the sword, the third brother of the sword is strong in swordsmanship and has deep internal strength, if there is a real fight, my family will naturally let the third brother of the sword leave, but the others... Saying this, Xiao Yi looked at the dozen or so senior brothers behind Jian San

Jian San froze when he heard this, and his brows furrowed slightly. Resisting these bows and crossbows head-on may not be able to retreat with their whole body, if they really want to do it, these junior disciples may die for a lifetime.

"Brother Xiao, is this refusing my request, refusing to go north?" Jian San said again.

"Forgive me!"

"Okay, Brother Xiao has good means, I believe in Brother Xiao. I'm so disturbed today, say goodbye!" After saying that, Jian San left with everyone, and the Tang brothers left after him.

"Young master, I knew that I still had to come hard, so it wouldn't be so troublesome, and I also exposed a dark village arranged in the Tang family. ”

"Confused, Jian San is a person from a famous family after all, if he doesn't occupy the truth on the bright side and don't muddy the water, what's the use of just two or three hundred bows and crossbows!" Xiao Yi said.

"Will they come again?"

"Whether it's going south or north, Jian San must set off as soon as possible today, and he shouldn't be able to take care of the mountain city in the short term. ”

"Great!" said the painting happily.

"I hope it's a good thing!" Xiao Yat said.

Yang Yan escaped, this is Xiao Yi got the news from the sword, although he must be seriously injured, but after all, he escaped with his life, Xiao Yi guessed that this person should still be in the mountain city, after all, he was seriously injured and could not travel far, he should be hidden.

Xiao Yi admired this guy a little, escaping from the encirclement of a congenital master and two masters of the same level, although he had his own secret help, it was extremely difficult, even if he couldn't do it himself.

Half a month later, on the west mountain of the mountain city, Xiao Yi and the old Taoist priest Xuan were really playing chess, at this time it was already evening, and the black and white on the chess surface was you have me, I have you, and they were very happy to kill.

"Xiao Shaoxia, playing this black and white thing is important to concentrate, if you are multi-purpose, I'm afraid it will be difficult to win!" After speaking, Xuan Zhen fell behind, and suddenly the situation in front of him changed greatly.

"Taught!" said Xiao Yi.

"Master, the meal is ready!" a little Taoist priest came over and reminded.

"Xiao Shaoxia, let's go eat first!" Xuan Zhen invited.

"Daoist, please take care of yourself, I've brought dinner!" Xiao Yi said

After the two left, Xiao Yi turned around and went to the Daojing Pavilion, these days, the Tang family was cooperating with the people of Wangyue Sect to search for Yang Yan with all their might, and Yang Yan naturally hid himself to death. The situation in the mountain city was temporarily stable, and Xiao Yat often came to Xishan Road to watch books and play chess.

"Young Master, Commander Xiao is here!" said after a short time, Qin'er knocked on the door.

"Young Master Yi, there is a letter from the county guard mansion saying that the documents of the official department have come down, please go to the county guard mansion tomorrow to receive the official seal, official uniform and documents. Xiao Quan's voice sounded immediately.

"Well, I didn't expect it to be half a month later than expected, okay, let's go back!" Xiao Yi put down the "Taishang Thirteen Classics" in his hand and said.

Two hours later, the Xiao family

"Elder Hong, what happened to what I asked you to do a few days ago?" Xiao Yi asked.

"Young Master Yi, several nearby mountains have been explored, I think these three mountains are okay, you can take a look. Hong Lao took out a map and said.

"Young master, look, there are three places in the west and north directions of the mountain city that meet your requirements. The first one is in the west of the mountain city, this place, is a small hill with a radius of more than ten miles, the mountain is gentle, the road is smooth, and the environment is also very good. Hong Lao introduced Xiao Yi.

"Well, the environment is not bad, and it is quite convenient, but this is the land of four wars, and there is no danger to defend. The outside of the city is not as good as the inside of the city, there is no city wall, there is no official palace, and the first thing to consider is security, this is not good. Xiao Yat said.

"Then look at this, this is a mountain in the north of the city, with a radius of nearly twenty miles, the peak is high and the road is dangerous, and it is absolutely safe!" Hong Lao introduced again.

"But this mountain is a hundred miles away from the mountain city, it's too far. Xiao Yi shook his head.

"Then this one, this is the best, it is only thirty or forty miles away from the north gate of the mountain city, and the fast horse will arrive at the mountain city in less than an hour. This mountain is called Liuyun Mountain, there are about 30 miles in radius, the west and north directions of the mountain are more than 1,000 zhang high mountain cliffs, there are several villages at the foot of the mountain in the southeast two directions are built according to the mountain, the water source is sufficient, the grain and rice can be purchased from several villages, and you can also grow your own. ”

"Well, yes, let's do this one, how many silver taels do you need?"

"Young Master Yi, this mountain is thirty miles in circumference, and it is not far from the mountain city, and the price is 200,000 taels of silver, which is more than three times higher than the other two. Hong Lao smiled bitterly.

"How much silver do you have left in the treasury?"

"It's only 200,000 taels when it's full, and you have to leave tens of thousands of taels of silver for backup, and the maximum that can be used is 150,000 taels. Hong Lao frowned.

Who would have thought that one of the three major families in the dignified mountain city, with business all over half of Qingzhou, would not even be able to take out 200,000 taels. But no, Xiao Qian died unexpectedly, and the funeral cost a lot. The other part of the shopkeeper left the Xiao family with the money, and recently summoned sixty new students and seven or eight talents, which cost a lot.

"It's okay, the money thing is easy to do, Hong Lao, you should make preliminary preparations first, you must start work as soon as possible, the protection of the Xiao family's house is basically leaking from all sides, it is too unsafe, the Xiao family needs a safe place to develop with peace of mind." "Xiao Yi has long been dissatisfied with the safety of this Xiao family's house, Lin Wan, Ruoshui and even the sword can come and go at will.

"Okay, Young Master Yi"

"That's it, when I was in Qingxian before, I used to do some research on the manufacture of white sugar, Hong Lao, you arranged, go back and find me the shopkeeper Tong who is in charge of sugar affairs in the Xiao family. ”

"White sugar?" Hong Lao wondered.

"It's white sugar, processed from the sucrose you commonly use, but the color is pure white, the particles are uniform, and the quality is excellent. The cost is about 30% higher than the cost of sucrose before yours, but the price can be increased by at least three times. ”

"Really, how can this be?" said Hong Lao in surprise.

"It's just a kind of reprocessing of sucrose, which I pondered in Qingxian back then. Xiao Yi waved his hand and said.

Xiao Yi has long paid attention to the technological level of this world, whether it is the previous table salt or this white sugar, it is an epoch-making progress for this world. In Qingxian before, he was afraid of "conceiving his guilt", but at this time it was different, not only did he successfully control the Xiao family in the mountain city, but he also had a positive five-grade official body, and he could already reasonably grasp more wealth.

To be honest, for Xiao Yi, if he is not afraid of being coveted by others, it is really not difficult to make money.
