The moment the black cloth bag was torn off, everyone's eyes focused on the faces of those people.

My heart almost reached my throat.

However, when the cloth bag was pulled off, everyone became quiet again. The quarrels and fights that had been expected before, and even the riots that might have turned into might not have happened at this time.

A cold wind blew into the lobby as if it were in response to the situation, making all the lanterns and torches around it sway. The flames fluttered on the faces of those people, and it also seemed a little cloudy and unstable.

These people...

Not Song Xuan!

As soon as I saw those faces, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, the doubts in my heart rose again - it was not Song Xuan, nor were they the people she brought with me before. These faces were completely unfamiliar, so everyone around me had no reaction when they saw them.

Cui Tae and Cui Jiancheng didn't say anything for a moment, but immediately looked at Song Huaiyi on the side, but saw Song Huaiyi frowning, looked at the people, and sneered.

As a result, the father and son were a little confused.

The two looked at each other in a glance, and Cui Tai's eyes seemed to be asking - "Are you arresting someone from the Song family?"

Cui Jiancheng also frowned and murmured: "Did I get it wrong..."

As soon as I saw the reaction of the three of them, I almost immediately felt relieved. At this time, I also felt that the old lady Zhang was breathing evenly.

Song Huaiyi did not know these people, which means that these men in black were not from the Song family, nor were they brought by Song Xuan before. In fact, when Cui Jiancheng said those words just now, I realized that it was wrong, because he said it was near the corner of the East City Gate, but the secret door that Song Xuan mentioned for transporting food and grass was not at the East City Gate at all. Obviously, if someone was not misleading them, they would have caught the wrong person.

Catch the wrong person...

I slowly turned my head and looked at Han Ruoshi sitting next to Pei Yuanxiu.

She didn't react at all. She sat upright like a Bodhisattva, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with her. However, only by careful observation would she find that one of her hands was hanging beside the table, her fingers were slightly stiff and she was almost touching a tea bowl.

But she herself had no idea.

Seeing her like this, I shouted: "Madam, be careful!"

She was motionless and focused on the people and things in the lobby. When I suddenly shouted like this, she almost jumped up, her hands trembled, and instead pulled the tea bowl down, smashing it on the ground with a clang. The tea and the pieces of the cup spread out, spilling her skirt directly.

She stood up from her seat at once.

Pei Yuanxiu turned to look at her.

Han Ruoshi was also shocked. Looking at the mess and the embarrassment on her body, she looked up at me and said in a angrily voice: "You, what are you yelling about?"

I smiled and said, "Oh, I just saw my wife being in a state of dismay, so I kindly reminded her."

Her face looked even more ugly: "Who is lost?!"

She was about to lose her temper again, but she didn't dare to lose her temper at this time. She looked very painful when she tried her best to suppress her but couldn't suppress her. Instead, I smiled: "It seems that I'm troublesome. Just as the lady wasn't scared."

Han Ruoshi's face turned red and white, and she glared at me fiercely. She didn't dare to say anything more, but the people around her were not that calm. Everyone looked at her obviously inadequately, and then looked at the men in black, and they all started to talk.

"Hmph!" At this time, Song Huaiyi sneered.

His voice was full of energy, and with the intentional force, it shocked everyone in the lobby to quiet down. He said, "You have seen these people. Now, should you explain clearly who they are and who sent them? Lao Cui, aren't you confidently saying that you want some people to die in peace?"

Choi Tae and his son looked at each other, but did not immediately speak.

Obviously, they also felt something was wrong.

The two of them looked at Han Ruoshi carefully, and Han Ruoshi was frightened and angry, and glared at them fiercely. As soon as the eyes intertwine in the two, they immediately understood.

And I understand better.

Tonight she followed Pei Yuanxiu to my room, and no matter whether I spoke or not, she was full of confidence. She dug the pit for me and said to myself. I realized that she might make trouble tonight. As long as she connects me and the Song family to the same boat, the Song family will capsize, and I will not have good results.

At that time, I also chose to stand on the Song family boat. I was indeed worried that she would take action tonight. If Song Xuan was young and energetic and did not do it well, then he would be very likely to be punished for it, and he would be more likely to involve Mrs. Zhang. Of course, I cannot let them suffer, so standing with them is also to protect them with myself in the event of no choice.

But obviously, it was not Song Xuan who failed this matter, but Cui Jiancheng.

He was afraid that it was not Song Xuan's subordinates, but-

I looked up at Han Ruoshi's face. At this time, she was sweating in a cold wave. Although Pei Yuanxiu had not spoken yet, the current atmosphere had already made her restless.

At this time, the atmosphere had obviously become stiff.

Pei Yuanxiu covered his hands on the handrail and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"

The men in black changed their expressions slightly when they heard him speak, but no one answered.

At this moment, another sound of footsteps came from beside him, which seemed messy and heavy. When everyone looked back, it was Song Xuan who walked in from outside with his team. When they saw that the lights were brightly lit here, everyone gathered in the lobby and frowned: "What's going on?"

Song Huaiyi turned around and saw that it was him and said, "Xuan'er, you are back."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "Father!" Song Xuan hurriedly came forward: "I have recalled all the people and stayed in front for the time being. What's going on here?"

He looked surprised, as if he didn't know anything, but when his eyes looked around, he stayed on me for a moment.

I lowered my eyes calmly.

Song Huaiyi sneered: "Your Uncle Cui, they said they had caught the people who transported food and grass to Cangzhou City. Now, they were about to interrogate these people."

"Transfer food and grass to Cangzhou City?" Song Xuan said in shock: "Is there such a thing?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately said, "No wonder, no wonder we have been unable to capture Cangzhou City for a long time. I felt strange, how could the people in the city last for so long? It turned out to be-"

As he said that, he turned his head and clasped his fists at Choi Tae and said, "Uncle Cui, this is a great achievement!"

Choi Tae's face turned pale and he only "um".

"Of course it's a great achievement," Song Huaiyi sneered: "They are not only catching people who transport food and grass to Cangzhou City, but also spies. Isn't this a great achievement?"

"spy?"

When Song Xuan heard this, his dark eyebrows frowned: "Since it's a spy, then that's—"

"That's right, since you're a spy, of course you should be your own person."

Song Huaiyi sneered and said, "But I see these people, I don't know if Lao Cui, you and your son look familiar with them?"

Cui Tai's face darkened and he immediately said, "What do you mean?"

Song Huaiyi said coldly: "It's not interesting, but since you want to die with your eyes closed, you naturally have to find out the matter." While he said, he slowly walked to the men in black, looked them up and down a few times, and then said: "Who are you? Who instructed you to do this?"

The men in black didn't say a word from the beginning, and at this time they turned their faces aside and didn't even look at him.

Song Huaiyi narrowed his eyes slightly, no longer looked at these people, but turned around and said, "Search their bodies immediately and see what they have!"

When Cui Jiancheng heard this, he subconsciously said, "Uncle Song, these people were caught by his nephew."

It means that if you want to search, you should search for the person you caught.

Song Huaiyi smiled and said, "Since you caught me, but I am not planning to be tried here for public trial? As a parent of the Song family, can't I give this order?"

Cui Jiancheng was also stunned by his statement.

In fact, Cui Jiancheng is obviously in chaos now. At the beginning, he must have been sure that the person he arrested would be from the Song family father and son, so he sent him to receive the merit without any detailed inquiry. Now this scene has begun to exceed his control.

At this time, a cold voice said, "This is right."

When everyone looked back, it was Han Ruoshi.

At this time, she seemed to have recovered from the panic just now, and also found a little calmness, and said quietly: "Song Gong wants to search, then search."

I frowned slightly when I heard this, and even Pei Yuanxiu glanced at her.

Song Huaiyi's face darkened: "Search it for me!"

With an order, several guards of the Song family immediately stepped forward, searched the men in black up and down, and came back to report: "Master, I didn't find anything."

"oh?"

I looked at Han Ruoshi's face. Although my expression did not change much, the proud expression in my eyes still flashed a little.

I remember when she was in Huai'an before, she sent someone to collect medicinal materials from the whole city. Later, Pei Yuanxiu discovered that it was because those people carried the tokens she used for command. This time, she obviously learned from her mistakes and did not leave any clues that might involve her in these people.

No wonder, when she saw these people just now, although she was a little lost in her mind, she was not panicked at all.
