"Jin...Miss Su." Xiao Tang said to Su Jinniang: "We are entrusted by Brother Qiu, and we will never let anything happen to you."
Compared to Su Jinniang, who was frightened like a deer that had fallen into a hunter's trap when she fled, her expression was calmer. She smiled miserably and said: "Only because of me, my father, my mother, my three brothers, Su
Everyone in the house...and Brother Qiu have lost their lives in vain, so why should I bother Mr. Xiao again?"
Xiao Tang knew that Su Jinniang had suffered a series of blows and was lucky that she hadn't gone crazy yet. But who could not be discouraged when she was in such a situation? He comforted her and said: "Miss Su, it's hard for me to sympathize with your pain."
, but you must also know that no matter your parents or brothers, they all hope that you can live well. Because as long as you are alive... there is hope."
Su Jinniang raised her head and looked into Xiao Tang's eyes for a while. Her eyes, which were originally weak and miserable, showed determination. Su Jinniang then said: "I understand, even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, as long as I am alive, can I
Only by proving Li Shaohua's behavior as an animal can my family rest in peace."
Fortunately, this girl is also a strong girl. Otherwise, the ordinary woman who grew up in a pampered family would have been crying and overwhelmed, or thinking about committing suicide. Xiao Tang nodded, and he looked at Dutou Zhao Shen, who was about to speak but hesitated.
There are more pleas and doubts in it.
Zhao Shen frowned and thought, sighed, and lowered his voice and said to Xiao Tang: "If things really are beyond my control, if I find an opportunity, I will send this Miss Su family to the Shuishui Stream behind Qingsongpo.
Pavilion, if you hear something happened in Zongcheng County, just go there to look for her. But this matter... I don’t want people to know what I have done. Although I have compassion, I don’t want to lose myself.
Do you understand this official hat?"
Xiao Tang understood what Zhao Shen meant. If you ask me to do good deeds, that's fine. If you want to work as a scheming partner to favor Li Shaohua, that would be really unethical. But I'm just a boss. Although I can do good deeds, don't do any harm.
I have no future.
When Zhao Shen said this, Xiao Tang had more trust in him. If he patted his chest and vowed to risk his own life to uphold justice, then he was not a man who had been immersed in public affairs for more than ten years.
In the year of 2017, those who have seen through the unfairness in the world are all having their heads cut. Everyone will have selfish motives, and anyone can do a good deed that is easy to do. But when doing good deeds also costs money, especially when the cost is very large, few people will not consider themselves.
gains and losses.
When Zhao Shen just turned around, Wu Song stopped him and snorted: "I just hope you are also a good person!"
Zhao Shen saw Wu Song glaring at him and couldn't help but laugh angrily: "You man, if someone dared to talk to me like this, I would have tied him up and taken him into the government office. But since I know why you are like this, I won't
I'm arguing with you, so just go away!"
Xiao Tang said to Su Jinniang: "Miss Su, please rest assured. When the Zongcheng County Government investigates the case, I will definitely go visit you and I will never let you fall into the clutches of the nine-headed insect."
Su Jinniang nodded in agreement, and then she thought of something again and hurriedly said to Xiao Tang: "Mr. Xiao, you have offended Li Shaohua by helping me. He will definitely make things difficult for you, so you should be more careful."
Xiao Tang sighed and said, "You already have so many things on your shoulders, why do you still have to think about others now?"
Su Jinniang forced out a smile: "I don't know if there is any justice in this world, but Mr. Xiao is a good man. I just hope that Mr. Xiao can live in peace."
Xiao Tang couldn't bear it when he saw Su Jinniang pretending to be strong, so he had to let Zhao Shen lead people to escort her to Zongcheng County.
Wu Song pulled off a piece of cloth and bandaged the wound on his arm. He snorted coldly: "Do you think that thief Li Shaohua won't defend himself against the magistrate of Zongcheng County? I think this matter is extremely difficult to solve."
Xiao Tang nodded heavily, but whether in his previous life or in the Water Margin, had he ever experienced such a thing? At this moment, he was in a state of confusion, but he could only rush back to the Xiao family to discuss the matter in the long term. He then made peace with Xue Yong, Xiao Yi and
Wu Song said goodbye, and Wu Song returned to Kongsongzhuang, Qh County. He also said that if there was any trouble, tell him immediately and he would come to help immediately.
When Xiao Tang and others returned to Xiao Mansion and met Xiao Lao, Xiao Tang and Wu Song and others bumped into Liu Lin. Liu Qi committed the murder and learned that Li Shaohua was so heartbroken that he killed everyone in the Su Mansion. He and Wu Song escorted the only survivor of the Su Mansion.
Su Jinniang told Father Xiao everything when she arrived at the Zongcheng County Yamen. Afterwards, Xiao Tang stared at the change in Father Xiao's expression, thinking that forget about the Jin Mao Mastiff Hu Tian Hu Di in the past, this time...
.It was only when he got into trouble with someone who ran rampant in Daming Mansion that he really got into trouble. I don’t know what Father Xiao was thinking.
Unexpectedly, Father Xiao frowned as he listened and twirled his gray beard from time to time. When Xiao Tang finished speaking, he just said lightly: "Okay, I understand."
Xiao Tang said in surprise: "Dad, you don't blame me at all for causing such trouble in the Xiao Mansion?"
Father Xiao put on a serious face and said boldly: "Humph! Why do I blame you? In the past, I was just angry with you for relying on authority to bully good people and do random things. But this time you took action for justice, what did you do wrong?!
The ignorant people in the Song Dynasty all say that we are barbarians who rely on our strength and weakness. Who knows that conscience may not always be in the body of the Song people!
But since this matter involves the powerful people of the Daming Mansion, we must be cautious. If it is necessary to arrange the manpower of the Xiao Mansion, you will have to arrange it. How to protect the young lady of the Su family without implicating the Xiao Mansion, we need to make long-term plans.
"
After hearing what Father Xiao said, Xiao Tang was full of pride. If ordinary people encountered such a thing, they would want to hide away and not want to be implicated in the slightest. But with Father Xiao's affirmation and support in this matter, Xiao Tang
Tang felt somewhat confident.
But lying in bed at night, Xiao Tang was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. At this time, Xiao Tang thought in his mind: Even if the county magistrate Gong pursues the case impartially and impartially, the results of all major human life cases must be reported to the prefectural government, and the death penalty will be imposed.
Serious cases even require the emperor's personal review and approval. The immediate boss of Zongcheng County Government is Daming Mansion, which is where the Nine-Headed Insect Li Shaohua has the densest network of connections. Not to mention that behind Li Shaohua is the Prime Minister Zhao Tingzhi. This level
With all the layers of obstruction in place, can Li Shaohua be brought to justice?
If Zongcheng County Magistrate Gong was afraid of the power behind Li Shaohua and did not dare to convict him, then it would not be impossible for him to be forced by Li Shaohua to hand over Su Jinniang. If that was the case, then it would not count as Xiao Tang himself.
Will the helpless girl retreat into the abyss again?
Xiao Tang was thinking about it when he suddenly heard a noise outside the door. He sat up and put his robe on his shoulders, and was about to go out to see what was going on. But before Xiao Tang could push the door open, the door was already closed.
With a kick, a dozen soldiers swarmed in, holding steel knives and spears, surrounding Xiao Tang.
Xiao Tang was startled. Before he could ask any questions, he was pushed down by the soldiers and tied up tightly. Xiao Tang shouted in shock and anger: "What are you doing?!"
"What are you doing? Hehe... of course you want to capture the thief who is hiding evil intentions."
As soon as he finished speaking, another person walked in, but it was Liu Lin, the blood-eating jackal among the two Liu brothers. He walked up to Xiao Tang with a sinister smile, patted Xiao Tang's face with his hand and said, "Aren't you a very good boy?"
Are you a hero? You didn’t expect to fall into my hands so quickly, did you? It’s not easy for you to die now. Grandpa, I want you to cry and beg for mercy, please lick the soles of my shoes, grandpa!”
After saying that, Liu Lin increased his strength and slapped Xiao Tang hard on the ear. Half of Xiao Tang's cheeks suddenly became red and swollen. He shouted angrily: "My Xiao family is a law-abiding family! Why are you arresting me?"
!?"
Liu Lin smiled grimly and said, "Why? Just because there is someone in your Xiao family who knows enough to accuse you of the Xiao family's illegal activities!" As he said this, another person walked in from the door, and Xiao Tang looked at it.
, it was Lei Ben, the manager who was extremely low-key during this period!
Lei Ben looked at Xiao Tang coldly, shook his head with pretense of regret and said: "Ah... Young Master, you are the young master of the market town, why do you have to do such things as collaborating with bandits and collaborating with the enemy?"
Xiao Tang opened his eyes angrily and shouted: "Lei Ben, what do you mean!?"
Lei Ben said again: "Young master, just admit it. I have reported to the Daming Mansion that I am a spy from the Liao Kingdom lurking in our Song Dynasty. He is trying to cause trouble and incite the grass bandits to cause trouble, thus disturbing the situation on Hb Road.
.You instigated the green forest bandits who have been colluding with you for a long time to plan to massacre all the wealthy businessmen around Daming Mansion, just to make the people around you panic and destabilize the situation in the Northern Territory of the Song Dynasty!"
When Xiao Tang heard this, it was as if the heavenly spirit cap had been divided into eight parts and a basin of ice water was poured down on his head. His heart was completely cold. He could have expected that the Nine-Headed Insect Li Shaohua would find an opportunity to deal with him, but he did not expect it to be so poisonous so quickly.
, especially he did not expect that he would collude with Lei Ben, the general manager of his own house, so quickly and frame such a heinous crime on himself!
I heard Lei Ben say to Xiao Tang again: "It's no wonder that I, Lei Ben, if I don't serve as Li Shaohua's witness, sooner or later there will be no place for me, Lei Ben, in this Xiaojiaji. So all this is still
Mr. Xiao and you forced me."
"It seems that Manager Lei still has something to say to this prisoner." Liu Lin smirked, and then said to the officer who led the army: "It is only through the hard work of the officer that we can catch this heinous criminal.
The traitor, but there is still an accomplice named Wu Song in Kongsongzhuang, Qh County, who has not been arrested. That guy is quite good at boxing and kicking, so I have to trouble the prison officer to arrest that guy too."
The prison officer clasped his fist at Liu Lin and said, "Those who come from the army are fed by this bowl of rice. We will leave ten brothers here to detain these thieves. I will lead the remaining forty brothers to Qinghe to arrest the man named Wu."
Hey, I just hope Second Young Master Liu can say a few nice words for my brother in front of Li Yanei."
Liu Lin smiled and said: "That's natural." After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Tang again, laughed wildly and walked out of the door.
Lei Ben bent down, looked directly at Xiao Tang, and said coldly: "Actually, I have always had a close relationship with Li Shaohua's subordinates in the trade. I was also the one who initially instigated you to be disrespectful to his young master.
I just wanted to give the young master a headache over this matter, so I thought of my kindness. But I really didn’t expect that young master, you would have such a deep relationship with that nine-headed insect! How could I miss this opportunity?
If you were still a heartless dandy, and now you are still living a carefree life, but you have turned your back on sex, and your Xiao family will soon be ruined, you... say you are like this
