Chapter 54: Conspiracy
"If you touch this man again in the future, do not make any enemies of him. If possible, try to ally him as much as possible, and it will not end well to be an enemy of this person. The old man said to him with a solemn expression.
"The child will certainly live up to his father's trust, and as long as the child can meet this person, he will be a brother to him. "This young master of the Wang family is also a wise person, and between the lines of his father's words, he seemed to have guessed something, and resolutely agreed to this matter.
......
With a creak, a wooden door opened, and a beautiful girl in the room was looking at the door with some nervousness. Until the door of the room was completely opened, she withdrew her eyes in some frustration, and her heart was filled with fear.
"I'm sorry I'm late. A somewhat familiar voice suddenly appeared in her ears, she was stunned for a moment, and then raised her head in surprise, isn't this the person she is waiting for?
With a whin, she pounced, and the whole person hid in Xiao Yiqing's arms, sobbing uncontrollably. She cried so much, the fear, worry, and wandering in her heart seemed to disappear at this moment.
"You're finally here, I've finally waited for you. She excitedly hugged Xiao Yiqing's neck tightly, she laughed and cried to her heart's content, and her whole body was tightly attached to Xiao Yiqing's chest without any scruples.
Xin'er's face was rippling with spring, and her green jade hand caressed Xiao Yiqing's body from top to bottom.
She leaned close to Xiao Yiqing's sturdy shoulders and whispered, "Do you know? I even thought that if I was really taken away by that person, I would choose to kill myself for the sake of innocence, and the only regret was that I would never see you again, but I really wanted to see you......"
"Xin'er, I won't let you suffer anymore. Xiao Yiqing said in a trembling voice.
Xiao Yiqing's heart was full of self-blame, if she had been stronger at the beginning, then Xin'er might have suffered less guilt, but unfortunately it has become a thing of the past.
He silently swore in his heart that he would never let Xin'er suffer this kind of grievance again, as long as anyone dared to bully Xin'er again, even if it was the king of heaven, what could he do?
He exuded a terrifying killing intent all over his body, and that killing intent suddenly overflowed like a substance. The surging momentum was suppressed, so that the two guards outside were suddenly frightened, and each screamed strangely, and escaped with a crawl.
"Brother Xiao, how did you get in?" Xin'er couldn't help but be a little worried when she felt the monstrous killing intent on Xiao Yiqing's body, so she said the question in her heart as soon as her tone changed.
When Xiao Yiqing heard this, his expression was stunned, and the original momentum of murderous intent collapsed and disappeared in an instant.
Xiao Yiqing was a little embarrassed to tell the whole story roughly, listening to Xin'er's nervous fingers pinching each other for a while, and then looking at Xiao Yiqing's face and thinking hard, the expression on this face changed seven or eight times, and then ended listening to the story in fear.
"I didn't expect those people to be so bad, not only want to occupy me, but also treat you as a slave, it's really damn ......" Xin'er waved her little fist and looked very angry, and there was a person babbling non-stop.
Xiao Yiqing suddenly showed a wry smile when he looked at this scene, he didn't expect that the little girl with pigtails was learning from her daughter-in-law, which was really unexpected for him.
......
As soon as the two entered the village, they found that seven or eight people in the village were talking about something, and only one of them said: "I said a long time ago, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family is too beautiful to go to the city." But she didn't listen, it's a good thing, not only was this hidden village discovered by outsiders, but she was also put in it, and even her husband was taken away, what do you say is this!"
Then another person on the side continued: "Lao Wang is right, it's just a pity that the Zhang family, all of them are simple and honest people, and now they go to the city to ask for two people, I'm afraid this trip is mostly bad luck." ”
Xiao Yiqing and Xin'er's faces changed suddenly, and after glancing at each other, they hurriedly walked over, and the few people who spoke saw Xiao Yiqing and Xin'er coming over.
A trace of surprise flashed on everyone's faces, and they looked at each other, one of them had a little unkempt hair, stroked his beard, showed a slight smile on his face, and came to Xiao Yiqing and the others a few steps forward, hugged his fists and said, "You two are out, but why didn't I see a few people from the Zhang family?"
Saying that, he deliberately looked around behind Xiao Yiqing, where can I see people! Xiao Yiqing couldn't help but sneer in his heart, these villagers who seem to help each other usually have really reached the point where there are really a lot of people who have fallen into the ground.
"That's right, where are the people of the Zhang family who are trying to find a way for the two of you? You two are telling me? Say, are you being harmed by you? Are you trying to get the Zhang family's property for a long time?" Another old man with a lewd face, his eyes narrowed slightly, his cheeks were red and exuding a strong smell of wine, and he even took a wine gourd in his hand, and scolded Xiao Yiqing with drunkenness.
Xiao Yiqing's face turned blue with anger, and he pulled Xin'er and walked again in the direction of Longshan City without hesitation.
Seeing this, those old men didn't stop them, where else could these people go except here, Longshan City was not a place where ordinary people could stay, even if it was a store at night.
When Xiao Yiqing and the two disappeared, the old men all glanced at each other, and then they all laughed.
"It's better to help the Zhang family protect their property now, presumably over the years, the Zhang family has also reaped a lot of benefits outside, and we will share some as compensation." I think Old Man Zhang will definitely agree. The drunken old man wiped the wine from his mouth, and said his own reasoning to himself, with a lewd smile on his face.
"Isn't it too ...... for us to do this," said the youngest middle-aged man beside him, with some reluctance.
The old man with messy hair glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "What's this, Old Man Zhang is so capable, that little reward will not be put in his eyes at all." ”
The middle-aged man scratched his head and said with some hesitation: "The clothes they wear are very old, and the porcelain clay pots they use are all shabby. No matter how I look at it, I don't think they're a rich family. ”
The drunken old man smiled and said, "Naturally, you don't know this, if I hadn't kept an eye on it, let my little nephew go to the city to check it out." Guess what, my little nephew saw with his own eyes that within a day, that old man had paid more than ten black stones! As for what you said, it was obviously pretended to be for us!"
"What, there are so many, this old man is really deep enough. Now I can rest assured, I will do this Hu Wei as soon as he does it, and he can't make any tricks. A rugged man with a particularly fierce appearance patted his chest with a look of surprise.
The rest of the people were also excited and their faces turned red, if it was said that more than ten black stones were earned in a day, after these thirty or forty years of accumulation, how much wealth did they have, which made these people like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and they were excited and noisy.
Several of them presided over the robbery, and even held a banquet on a piece of black stone to celebrate this sudden feast of fortune.
"If they report us to Longshan City, then ......" The middle-aged man was still a little timid, the laws and regulations of Longshan City were strong, he had heard of them. Not to mention being sent to a remote and miserable place for exile, and possibly being escorted to the Blackstone vein to work as coolies, it was the end of nine deaths, and the worst was the cruel punishment of being cut off with a knife.
The old man with messy hair smiled and said, "Isn't it easy? as soon as they come back, we will arrest them all, and when we have forced them to ask for all the money, we will give them a good time." I think with the prestige of a few of us, a few little mongrels in the village don't dare to mess with us. He made a gesture to wipe his neck.
"And the shop in Longshan City, we also have to get it. This is the treasure land where they can earn the black stone, if we jointly control it, won't the black stone continue to enter our pockets in the future!" The old man of the Chu family, who had long been unable to bear it, had a bright eye in his eyes, as if he had seen countless black stones shining dazzlingly in front of him.
The drunken old man wiped his beard dripping with oil and water, nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and then whispered: "Then let's discuss, the arrangement of this matter ......"
......
"I always feel that there is something wrong with those villagers, and I usually don't have much contact with myself, but recently I always feel that a few people look at me a little strangely. Wu Yuxin, who was walking beside Xiao Yiqing, frowned and said.
Xiao Yiqing raised his eyebrows, and his footsteps stopped subconsciously, and then said to Xin'er's expression changed slightly: "I think those people should not only be aimed at us, but also against Old Man Zhang, aren't you just selling medicine for Old Man Zhang in Longshan City these days? I think they should have coveted Old Man Zhang's money a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have said that we were going to seek the money of the Zhang family." ”
Wu Yuxin suddenly became a little anxious, and she said anxiously: "You mean, they are now looking for a reason to deal with us?"
"I think they've done it now, maybe they're rummaging around in the Zhang family's mansion!" Xiao Yiqing sneered.
"Then what should we do, if we find Old Man Zhang, won't we fall into the net when we go back?" Wu Yuxin was naturally reluctant to give up the somewhat warm Zhang family house.
"It's just mortals, and I, Xiao Yiqing, haven't taken them into account yet. If someone provokes me without opening their eyes, I will make an example of him. Xiao Yiqing's face was cold, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed.
......
"What, the two of them are gone?" At this moment, Old Man Zhang, supported by his granddaughter Zhang Xiaocui, looked at the guard with a somewhat ugly face with a dull expression.
In the lesson of the short-haired man, the guards knew that person was terrible, how dare they be unreasonable to Old Man Zhang at this time, so they clasped their fists and said respectfully to Old Man Zhang: "This old man, they did leave not long ago, and they were personally ordered by the Lord from World City, didn't I just follow orders!"
These words were spoken respectfully by the guard, as if it were their adults in front of him now.
Old Man Zhang looked a little embarrassed at this time, he never thought that the guard, who had not given a trace of affection, would change today, and he naturally felt a little unaccustomed to it.
Old Man Zhang hugged his fists in embarrassment, then said goodbye and left in a hurry.
The guard, like an old acquaintance, shouted behind his back: "Old man Zhang, come back when you have time!"
After hearing this, Old Man Zhang almost fell, but Zhang Xiaocui hurriedly supported his grandfather and muttered softly: "Idiot just want to come! What a fool who can't speak, he can't even say a flattering word." ”
Zhang Xiaocui had already seen that the tone of that person's speech was so respectful, this was not flattering or anything, but she didn't expect this Brother Xiao to be really capable, she couldn't help but show a smile.
