"I'm afraid the real purpose of the two of you coming here this time is not to do business, right?" Shu Kuang looked at Mu Yunmeng and Xi Honglei in front of him. After thinking about it for a while, he asked aloud: "What do you really want from me?"
What is the purpose? Is it just to frame me?"
"Brother Shu, don't speak so harshly!" Xi Honglei curled his lips and shook his head. He took a step forward and stood side by side with Mu Yunmeng. "We, brother and sister, really just want to do business. If Brother Shu, you
If you hand over the real jade pendant, the current situation will not happen, right? Brother Xuan, don’t blame Honglei for not reminding you. Even if you take my jade pendant, you will have no use for it. In the end, you will still give it to me.
You caused a fatal disaster. If you hand it over now, we will pretend that this never happened. If you don't hand it over..."
Xi Honglei smiled coldly and continued: "I have notified the people in the Yamen and sent people to Brother Shu's house. If you are unwilling to cooperate, my people will work with the people from the government to kill you.
The house has been turned upside down and the ground has been dug up. None of us want to foresee this situation, right?"
Xi Honglei's words made Shukuang a little bit dumbfounded, and he also understood in his heart that it was impossible for him to leave unscathed today.
Xi Honglei has made all arrangements just to frame and accuse him. Normally, Shukuang would not be afraid of such a threat. After all, he is a respectable person here, and the government has already taken care of it.
Now, I have a good relationship with officials all over a hundred miles away. But this time...
Shukuang stood there with a dark face, staring at Xi Honglei silently. He just stole something last night, which was the county master's treasure, two big night pearls that are rarely seen. He hasn't yet
I had time to move the things, and they are now placed in my room. If the officers and soldiers of the county government really rush in and see that thing, then I will really lose a lot!
Even if those officers and soldiers would have some scruples about breaking into his house, after all, what Xi Honglei lost was something related to the royal family's dragon marrow jade. Which is more important, those officials who would just fall like a dog's tail grass in the wind,
You must be very clear! In other words, I have no advantage at all in this aspect...
Shukuang slowly shifted his gaze from Xi Honglei to Mu Yunmeng. He was secretly calculating in his mind what the chances were that he could defeat him and escape from here. If he really lost, he would negotiate terms with them.
, it should be too late, right?
"How can I make the girl happy before letting Shu leave? Hand over the real jade pendant?" Shu Kuang asked slowly.
"That's right." Xi Honglei nodded repeatedly. "I will let you go if I hand over the real jade pendant. I will never break my promise!"
After hearing Xi Honglei's answer, Shukuang smiled coldly. Without saying a word, he took out the jade flute inserted in his waist and struck towards Mu Yunmeng. Mu Yunmeng looked at Shukuang's actions and reflexively turned to the side.
Xi Honglei pushed him aside. Then he got entangled with Shu Kuang, preventing Shu Kuang from trying to escape.
Xi Honglei stood aside and calmly watched the fight between the two. But after a moment, Xi Honglei wisely stepped back and retreated to the corner to avoid being accidentally injured by the two.
Looking at the excitement, Xi Honglei felt that time passed quickly. When she saw Shu Kuang being suppressed by Mu Yunmeng, Xi Honglei even felt that she still had unfinished thoughts.
Sighing feebly, Xi Honglei walked to the side of the two of them. Looking at Shu Kuang who was pushed to the ground but still struggling to attack Mu Yunmeng, Xi Hong Lei knelt down and shook his head at Shu Kuang.
He shook his head and said: "Brother Shu, forget it. You should have heard this sentence before a good man suffers the consequences. You also understand that you can't beat one of ten of him, so why ask for trouble? Everyone stop.
, you hand over your things and we let you go. Hello, me, everyone, why not?"
"Hmph!" Shu Kuang snorted coldly, not appreciating Xi Honglei's words. In fact, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. "You can kill or cut him up as you please! I don't have any of that bullshit jade pendant!
Stop making useless excuses to frame me! I am in bad luck if I fall into the hands of you two today!"
"Tsk, tsk." Xi Honglei watched Shu Kuang gnashing his teeth and cursing, and stood up with a tangled expression. Patting Mu Yunmeng's shoulder, Xi Honglei said softly: "Brother, send him away. I'll go and talk to you outside.
The people from the government gathered together and went to his house to have a look."
"Okay!" Mu Yunmeng nodded, grabbing Shu Kuang's collar and heading out. Xi Honglei took the lead and opened the door.
"Hey! Don't go, girl, don't go!" Shukuang became anxious, and his name for Xi Honglei also changed instantly. "Come back! Let's talk carefully!"
"Tell me well?" Xi Honglei looked back at Shukuang with a smile on his lips, "Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
Shukuang nodded with absolute certainty, and Xi Honglei returned to the room. He signaled Mu Yunmeng to let go of Shukuang. Xi Honglei pointed to the chair beside the table with a smile and said, "Sit down and say, don't be in a hurry!"
Shukuang resignedly sat down on the chair, his probing eyes wandering back and forth between Xi Honglei and Mu Yunmeng. After waiting for a long time, Xi Honglei didn't say a word. In desperation, Shukuang had no choice but to open his mouth.
Mouthed.
"I said, Miss Xi, what do you really want? It's obviously you who put the jade pendant on me, and now I'm going to reverse it, I'm afraid that's not good, is it? Is this how your Xi family does business?"
"Brother Shu, this is a matter between you and me. It involves the entire Xi family. Isn't it not good?"
It's a matter of fact, then Honglei won't go around in circles with you."
Xi Honglei paused, looked at Shu Kuang with a solemn expression, and said: "Brother Shu, I know your true identity. The words 'Thousand-Handed Thief' are a well-known name in the world. If everyone knows,
If a good man like you is the Thousand-Armed Thief, you should know what will happen."
"What is the Thousand-Handed Thief? I don't know! Don't lie and accuse me unjustly!"
"You know whether I have wronged you or not. I am not here to find you empty-handed. If you really insist on going against me, then we will have to resolve this matter through the government.
If the government here is bribed by you and cannot handle you, then I will send someone back to the capital early tomorrow to inform Prince Chu and ask him to come and resolve the matter in person. What do you think?"
Xi Honglei moved Ran Yunpo out, causing Shukuang to be stunned involuntarily, and Mu Yunmeng frowned and glanced sideways at Xi Honglei. But Xi Honglei did not notice Mu Yunmeng's movements, and still
Self-centered He Shukuang said: "Since I dare to reveal your identity and come here specifically to find you, it means that I have full confidence and evidence. Brother Shu, I have no ill intentions, I just want to do a business with you.
, it’s that simple! Do you agree or not?”
Xi Honglei's hard and soft tactics made Shukuang feel like there was no way out. Looking at Xi Honglei with cold eyes, Shukuang thought for a while and asked: "What business?"
"Since Brother Shu is a member of the martial arts community, he should have heard of 'Leng Xiao', right?" Xi Honglei looked at Shu Kuang's astonished expression, smiled with satisfaction, and continued: "That's right, I'm here this time.
You work for Leng Xiao. He admires you very much and wants you to be one of his men. This is not a bad thing for you, is it? "
No wonder this girl is so sure that she is the Thousand-Handed Thief. It turns out that Leng Xiao is backing her!
Shukuang secretly clenched his fists and said calmly: "I really don't know, it turns out that Master Xi has already been in contact with Leng Xiao!?"
"Brother Shu, I have already said that I am who I am and have nothing to do with anyone, let alone Xifu. If you really have to do this, it would be pointless, right? I am indeed cold.
Xiao Xiao, my goal of looking for you this time is also very clear. I just want to win you over and become my companion. Of course, you can also choose not to agree, but you have to be responsible for the consequences. Even if I don’t say it, you should know it.
Leng Xiao’s strength. Brother Shu, make your own choice, I’ll give you time to think about it.”
"Choose?" Shu Kuang chuckled and said self-deprecatingly: "Do I still have a choice? I can promise you, but I want to know what does the dignified cold owl see in me, a low-class thief? Since it is so big
He actually sent Prince Chu's fiancée here."
"If you are a low-life thief, then what do you mean by those sneaky people on the street?" Xi Honglei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Brother Shu, don't be in a hurry to belittle yourself like this. What kind of person are you?
, you know better than anyone else what kind of treatment you deserve. We will give you the answer you want to know, but not now. Since you promised us, Honglei will not treat you as an outsider. I will
Arrange a time for you to meet Leng Xiao. If you have any questions then, just ask him!"
The way Xi Honglei slapped him and gave him a sweet date made Shu Kuang feel extremely complicated, and also made Mu Yunmeng, who was sitting aside and kept silent, sigh.
"Brother, nothing's wrong. Let's send Brother Shu home." Xi Honglei suddenly turned his head to look at Mu Yunmeng, calling him Brother Mu Yunmeng with a smile, and his expression was so calm that it was as if they were real brothers and sisters.
Mu Yunmeng glanced at Xi Honglei, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He nodded, and after saying "Okay", he led Shu Kuang out of the room and walked towards Shu Kuang's house.
Shukuang left Xi Honglei's sight and was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. After calming down for a while, Shukuang looked at Mu Yunmeng beside him and said sympathetically: "Having such a sister is really embarrassing for you.
