With family affairs pending, Governor Xi was cautious when going out.
"Don't be afraid, you haven't had any major disasters in the past ten years." Xi Lanting said casually.
After hearing this, Governor Xi felt relieved.
He almost died last time. Xi Lanting had warned him seven or eight years ago that he was in for a catastrophe and had only a slim chance of survival.
It's really slim.
At that time, someone like Granny Xiao needed to be nearby and arrive within half an hour of his death, otherwise everything would be in vain.
It is impossible for a powerful person like Granny Xiao to be hired by Governor Xi and be by his side at all times - his life is not valuable enough to use Granny Xiao.
Xi Lanting didn't know the specific day of the disaster.
Fortunately, Xi Lanting kept Yun Qiao by his side and saved Governor Xi's life at the critical moment.
"Be careful," said Governor Xi.
He definitely didn't come here early in the morning to hang out with his brother. It was just that the words were on his lips and he hesitated again and again.
If he doesn't tell, Xi Lanting doesn't ask, and he plays the role of pretending to be stupid very well.
The car left the city, and the dungeon on the outskirts was built by the ancestors of the Xi family during the Guangxu period to imprison bandits and rebels. It was a gloomy place and was once famous for torture, which frightened newcomers and caused banditry to cease here for many years.
Someone greeted him at the door. He was one of Xi Lanting's entourage.
"Seventh Master." He opened the car door respectfully, turned his eyes and saw Governor Xi, and added, "Overseer."
Xi Lanting nodded slightly and nodded.
Governor Xi followed him out of the car. Until this moment, Governor Xi still didn't say anything and just followed Xi Lanting inside.
The two brothers remained silent, and there was only the sound of heavy footsteps walking back and forth on the bluestone tiles of the cell.
In a separate cell near the front, the person inside was lying dying, covered in blood.
"How?" Xi Lanting asked.
Xi Shuangfu: "I've already beaten you, Master Qi."
The man in the cell struggled to open his eyes, his eyelids were severely swollen. When he saw Overseer Xi, he seemed to take a breath and crawled over: "Overseer, save me..."
Governor Xi's brows frowned slightly.
He finally looked at Xi Lanting and whispered: "Xiao Qi, take a step to speak."
Xi Lanting seemed satisfied and in a good mood, and followed the warlord to the guard room of the cell. The two brothers sat down, and Xi Lanting kindly poured the warlord a cup of tea.
The half-warm tea was so bitter and astringent that the warlord almost lost his teeth after taking one sip.
"Lanting, it's not that my eldest brother is so idle that he wants to meddle with your business. You also know that my friendship with Sheng Yaze has lasted through life and death. He blocked a gun for me in the early years, and he has been loyal these years.
As for his sons, all of them are obedient and sensible, and they have never made any trouble. Yesterday, Sheng Yun bumped into Miss Yun Qiao, just to scare her. People on the street saw it, but he didn't hit her, but was beaten by Miss Yun Qiao.
Had a meal.
Sheng Yaze went to the governor's house in the middle of the night and begged me to save Sheng Yun's life. Lan Ting, Sheng Yun's crime is not worthy of death. You have beaten him like this, why don't you let me take him back?" Governor Xi said.
Xi Lanting knew about the conflict between Sheng Yun and Yun Qiao yesterday afternoon.
Why did you bump into Yun Qiao for no reason? Isn't it because of Xi Lanting?
This incident happened because of him. Yun Qiao was not injured because of Yun Qiao's ability. It does not mean that Xi Lanting can pretend to be deaf and dumb.
He asked people to kidnap Sheng Yun directly from the hospital in front of the Sheng brothers and lieutenants.
No one dares to stop it.
He asked Xi Shuangfu to watch and give Sheng Yun some pain first.
The Sheng family did not dare to trouble Xi Lanting, so they had to ask Governor Xi.
But Governor Xi said: "I will come up with a solution tomorrow morning, and you can rest easy for a while. Xiaoqi won't kill anyone, but he won't be polite either. You should teach your son a lesson."
