Zhuque County Yamen.

Xiao Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Even though some time has passed, he still hasn't recovered.

He had to go back to the Xiao family. In such a state, he was obviously unqualified.

Le Zhengjin's original intention was to give them a time lag to change their mentality, so that they could run their errands well.

Xiao Ren took a gulp of tea.

He was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I think it might not be a bad thing this time."

"Isn't this a bad thing? Our lives are almost gone. It's sad. This person has run out of money and hasn't spent it all. Little Chunxiang is still waiting for my next visit."

Xiao Shan grimaced.

"Still thinking about Xiao Chunxiang? Didn't you agree to get a wife after making money? Are you still going to have fun?"

Xiao Ren blew his beard and stared.

"My wife wants it, Xiao Chunxiang, and I want it too."

Xiao Shan smacked his mouth.

"Sooner or later you will die at the hands of a woman."

Xiao Ren hated that iron could not become steel.

"It is better to die in the hands of a woman than in the hands of the Xiao family." Xiao Shan sighed.

"Okay, don't sigh, we won't die this time."

Xiao Ren paused and said: "Xiao Boshan still wants us to be a link to negotiate with the court. Otherwise, he would have buried us alive long ago. Are you not clear about his methods? Will he be kind enough to let us go? We are not of any use!"

"Yes, he is ruthless and murderous. In the past, several people were suspected of betrayal by him and were buried alive. It was a tragedy..."

Xiao Shan finally reacted.

His reaction ability is slower, but he is not a fool after all, and his brain is still normal.

"So, we really won't die?" Xiao Shan asked in a low voice.

"When was it wrong to listen to me? You just didn't listen to me and that's why you went wrong."

Xiao Ren stared.

"Brother, don't worry. I will listen to you from now on. I will no longer be good at making decisions."

Xiao Shan quickly swore his promise.

"I hope you keep your word."

"Okay, let's have some tea and leave later. When we get back, don't talk. I'll do the talking."

Xiao Ren took another big sip.

After talking to Xiao Shan for a while, his rapidly beating heart gradually returned to normal.

The two of them rested for a while and looked at the sky, which was almost the same.

After they got up, they spoke to the clerk nearby.

Afterwards, they left the Yamen and hired a carriage nearby.

After getting on the carriage, Xiao Ren breathed a sigh of relief.

"We made the right bet."

Xiao Shan looked confused and said: "Brother, what bet is right?"

"Xiao Boshan wanted to kill us, and now is the best opportunity, but he didn't send anyone to kill us, which proves that we survived."

Xiao Rendao.

"No, didn't you say before that we wouldn't be killed? Is there still a possibility of being killed?"

There was something incredible in Xiao Shan's eyes.

"I have said it, but that is just speculation. We have to see what the facts are."

Xiao Rendao.

"Brother, don't scare me next time. I'm a coward and won't scare you easily."

Xiao Shan patted his chest, a little scared.

Xiao Ren smiled nonchalantly.

It's not the first time. If I don't scare Xiao Shan, how can he be honest?

The carriage moved forward and entered Xiao's house from the backyard smoothly.

As soon as they got off the carriage, a steward came towards them.

The visitors were all acquaintances and told them that Xiao Boshan was waiting for them at his old place.

In the study room.

Xiao Boshan is sitting behind the desk.

This place is where he often meets his confidants.

He still chose this room this time.

"Master, we are back."

Xiao Ren shrank his neck, with the same smile on his face as before, stepped over the threshold, and walked in.

"Okay, you're back. What's the answer from the government?"

Xiao Boshan's tone was the same as usual, but his attitude was obviously different.

"They said that as long as the Xiao family is willing to cooperate with the investigation of the Grandmaster's killer and obey the imperial court's orders, the imperial court will be lenient..."

Xiao Ren took a deep breath and told all the relevant conditions of the court.

At this time, he has no retreat and has no other choice but to bite the bullet.

"Okay, you can go back and report to the court. I agree to these conditions and ask them to send someone over to negotiate."

"Besides, you and Xiao Shan should move out this time."

Xiao Boshan said calmly.

"Okay, thank you young master."

Xiao Ren lowered his head and retreated.

Today, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After leaving the door, Xiao Shan immediately greeted him and asked nervously: "How is it?"

"Go back and move things, let's leave the Xiao family."

Xiao Ren glared at him.

There is no other way, Xiao Boshan has already spoken.

The implication of his words was obvious, since he had decided to join the government, he should not stay in the Xiao family any longer.

You can only choose one side, how can you eat both sides?

As for the Xiao family, the government will choose a more suitable candidate to come over, and there will be no problems with Xiao Ren and Xiao Shan.

"Let's go? If we leave the Xiao family, won't it be useless?"

Xiao Shan was not stupid enough, he realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Do you still think about those things now? Let's go and talk about it first."

Xiao Ren reached out and patted his head.

This is still the Xiao family. Is this a place where we can talk casually?

It definitely won't work.

If anything happens, it will immediately reach the ears of the Xiao family.

What they have to do now is to shut their mouths, preferably their eyes and ears, and leave the Xiao family quickly.

Fortunately, the two of them shared a few things in the room in Xiao's house, so they could just pack up a few old items and leave quickly.

…

Xiao Danyan's figure appeared in the study.

She wore heavy makeup and had a cold look in her eyes.

"Have you agreed to the government's conditions?"

After Xiao Danyan got the news, he rushed over immediately.

"Yes, I agreed for the sake of the Xiao family."
