Xiao family.

Xiao Ren was helpless, but there was nothing he could do.

Whoever proposes it will solve it. If it succeeds, most of the credit goes to the boss. If it fails, he will take the blame.

This is a routine in official circles.

Unexpectedly, he was also tricked in the Xiao family.

"Tell me what you need and I will arrange it for you."

Xiao Boshan made a promise.

"Master, um, I need to do some exercise. Money..."

Xiao Ren whispered.

"Go and pay one hundred taels of silver to your account."

Xiao Boshan raised his hand and wrote a note.

"Yes, Master."

Xiao Ren took the note and walked out.

After he walked out of the door, his originally stooped back straightened up again.

Being groveling is his way of survival, which does not mean that he personally likes to be groveling.

Moreover, Xiao Boshan gave too little.

Commander Ziyan, we had only known each other for a short time, so he raised his hand for five hundred taels, and the subsequent rewards were all mentioned in advance.

In such a comparison, working for Xiao Boshan is really boring.

This is still at a critical juncture.

He only gave out one hundred taels now, if he hadn't been willing to give it before.

In the past, Xiao Boshan could give out ten taels or twenty taels, which was a very big reward.

"Brother, how much money do you have this time?"

Xiao Shan followed him nearby.

He looked at Xiao Ren eagerly.

Xiao Ren sighed and said, "Just one hundred taels, eh."

"Only one hundred taels? Oh my god, the Xiao family is already at the point of life and death. To ask us to do such a big thing for him and yet to be so stingy, the Xiao family deserves to be destroyed."

Xiao Shan spat angrily.

He had already made an agreement with Xiao Ren that they could take this opportunity to occupy both ends.

Use the imperial court to intimidate the Xiao family, so that they can gain some benefits.

But what I didn’t expect was that the Tao is as high as the devil.

Faced with such a big crisis, Xiao Boshan of the Xiao family only gave him one hundred taels?

Isn't this just sending beggars away?

It's okay to ask them for some help, but you have to pay more!

"Keep your voice down, and be careful that the walls have ears. After all, we are still staying in the Xiao family, and we can't let anything go wrong with our status."

Xiao Ren said hurriedly.

"Brother, don't worry, there's no one around here. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Xiao Shan said nonchalantly.

"Okay, okay, let's go back and talk first." Xiao Ren rolled his eyes.

He didn't want to say it.

Who says Xiao Shan doesn’t look like a fool anymore?

In the eyes of the outside world, Xiao Shan is quite stupid and is simply a hindrance.

"No matter how thin a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat. Go and get the money back."

Xiao Ren ordered.

"Okay, I got my money back, and we'll go to the Yamen tomorrow."

As soon as money was mentioned, Xiao Shan's mood suddenly improved.

No matter what, no matter who he has trouble with, he will never have trouble with Yinzi.

Not to mention a hundred taels, even if it was only one tael, he would keep it in his pocket.

This is called safety.

Early morning of the second day.

The two of them were well prepared. Instead of using the Xiao family's carriage, they hired a carriage near the door and rushed to the Yamen.

After they left, two men in black immediately followed them.

Xiao Boshan stood on the side of the back door with a gloomy look on his face.

Beside him was his sister Xiao Danyan.

Xiao Danyan has a round face. Today she is wearing traditional women's clothing from Korea and many gold headdresses on her head.

"Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan, there is probably something wrong with these two people."

Xiao Danyan stretched out her fingers. Her nails were smeared with cyan nail polish, which was her favorite color, but she applied too much, so that the smell was a bit unpleasant.

"I know there is a problem, but what can I do without them now?"

Xiao Boshan said calmly.

"Just letting them go like this? Isn't that too conniving? Two outsiders actually want to get on top of the main family and dare to rebel."

Xiao Danyan had a crazy look on his face.

She is the kind of person who is a bit obsessed with religion. In her opinion, betraying Persian religion is more abominable, hateful and murderous than betraying the Xiao family.

But now the two should be merged into one.

"We, the Xiao family, have nothing to do with them now. I have confirmed that our Xiao family has been monitored by the court. Now we want to leave the confines of Zhuque County. It is extremely difficult. It can be said that we cannot get out."

Xiao Boshan turned sideways and looked at Xiao Danyan.

"I know you are dissatisfied, but Persian religion is Persian religion, and the Xiao family is the Xiao family. The Xiao family believes in the God of Fire of Persian religion. This is our belief, but you have to make it clear that what we believe in is the God of Fire, not Persian religion itself.

!”

Xiao Boshan said solemnly.

"I understand, brother, I will not harm our Xiao family because of my belief in Persian religion."

When Xiao Danyan said this, he was a little reluctant.

But she still understands the truth.

The reason why she has such a good life today is not because she believes in the God of Fire, but because she is the legitimate daughter of the head of the Xiao family.

"That's good. I hope you can understand."

Xiao Boshan nodded.

"Go back, my people will tell me."

Xiao Boshan turned and left.

When he turned his back, there was a hint of helplessness and exhaustion on his face. This family is not easy to run, it would be better to be like his father Xiao Yishan, being kept in the dark and being secretly excluded from the core.

It would be peaceful this way.

Xiao Danyan is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

She is not alone. There is a group of forces behind her. Those believers who believe in the god of fire are not easy to talk to, especially since there are a few fanatical believers among them.

The brains of those fanatical believers have been completely washed away, and they are willing to pay the price of their lives at any time for their faith.

Such people are the most terrifying.

Therefore, he still tried to find a way to stabilize Xiao Danyan. No matter what, he at least gave her an explanation so that she could appease those believers when she returned.

It is up to Xiao Danyan to decide whether to tell the truth or find ways to deceive. As long as the goal can be achieved, the means are no longer important.

…

Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan came to the Yamen.

After they entered, the person who received them was not Commander Zi Yan, let alone Luo Fengtang.

Receiving them was Le Zhengjin, the new magistrate of Zhuque County.

Le Zhengjin was wearing an official robe. He had two dark circles on his face and his blood was somewhat weak.

During this time, he was really tired and had many things to deal with.

Especially the Shi family's affairs.

The Shi family has been operating in Zhuque County for so many years and is the largest powerhouse in the area.

And when the Shi family collapsed, too many people were involved. If you really want to figure it out, it won't be possible in a short time.

Le Zhengjin estimated that it would be difficult for anyone to digest it within a year and a half.

"Sir, we..."

Xiao Ren just stood up when he was interrupted by Le Zhengjin.

"I know everything about you, so come inside and talk."

Le Zhengjin waved his sleeves and walked inside.

Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan looked at each other and could only follow behind.

In their eyes, the county magistrate still has a strong deterrent effect.
