After hearing these words, both Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu were stunned.

I didn't expect Xu Hesheng to be so straightforward.

He looked at the table in front of him with his brows lowered.

"What exactly does Xu Heyan want to do? Can he hide it from my second uncle and aunt?"

He spoke bluntly, and Uncle Xu was holding on.

"No matter what, he is your cousin, how can he harm you?"

What the second uncle of the Xu family said was neither justified nor convincing.

Xu Hesheng raised his eyebrows: "I heard that Hongcheng is often infested with bandits."

Although he didn't say it directly, the meaning was clear.

Aunt Xu's face immediately turned ugly.

Nothing Xu Heyan wanted to do could escape the eyes of his parents.

The current generation of the Xu family in power is in increasingly poor health.

Apart from Xu Hesheng, the only suitable person who has the hope of inheriting the Xu family is Xu Heyan.

But there were already excellent examples before him, and Xu Heyan himself was not up to the task.

Xu Hesheng is already a foregone conclusion.

Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do.

It was not until the matter of Hongcheng was mentioned that Xu Heyan suddenly thought of it.

I've heard those brothers mention it before.

It is said that Hongcheng is unique and everyone who goes there must make offerings.

Xu Heyan thought it was interesting and listened to it.

As soon as he heard that Xu Hesheng was going to Hongcheng in person to deal with the inn problem there.

Xu Heyan immediately started to have evil thoughts.

He returned home in high spirits, closed the door, and said something to his second uncle and aunt Xu.

Uncle Xu's face darkened.

He was about to give a lecture when he was interrupted by Aunt Xu.

"My son is really smart!"

She was very happy as she spoke.

"As long as Xu Hesheng doesn't come back, the Xu family will only belong to Yan'er!"

Uncle Xu wanted to say something, but Xu Heyan came up to him.

"Dad, do you really want to be suppressed like this?"

The grievances and grudges of the previous generation still remain even after ten or twenty years.

The memory is still very clear when I think about it.

The eldest son of the Xu family who was praised by everyone and famous throughout the city.

Has been forgotten.

Uncle Xu was young at that time, and the people in his memories suddenly turned into jackals.

The young lady of the Xu family decisively gave up her position as heir and hid in her own courtyard with her young son.

Never ask questions again.

The Xu family's once-prosperous eldest branch of the family has completely disappeared.

Logically speaking, they are not the second wife, but the third wife.

After the former second house became the eldest house, it took the opportunity to wipe out the former eldest house completely.

How could a thief not be afraid?

The mouse in the dark is always afraid of having its tail stepped on.

He had been doing things in a peaceful and harmonious way for a long time, and he really thought that no one knew about his tricks.

Unfortunately, Xu's second uncle knew a thing or two about it.

But don't fight or compete, just give up.

They will never give up.

Since the second house can become the eldest house.

Then they... can also do it?

Xu Heyan's method was finally implemented with the tacit approval of Xu's second uncle and the support of Xu's aunt.

Xu Heyan first looked for someone and found the bandit. He offered a high price and asked him to deal with Xu Hesheng.

Most of the family's wealth was put into it.

Even promised a lot of benefits.

It is guaranteed that after Xu Heyan obtains the inheritance rights in the future, the Xu family will continue to provide tributes to the bandits.

This made them think.

The bandits agreed to take action.

Xu Heyan thought the matter was settled, so he wrote a letter to his second uncle and aunt.

I thought the plan was flawless.

It’s a pity that Xu Hesheng has not returned safely until now.

Xu Heyan was silent.

Can't even get in touch.

Xu's second uncle and aunt were naturally anxious.

Only then did I find Xu Hesheng.

Xu Hesheng stood up with a smile on his face.

His face was warm and smooth.

He slowly approached his second uncle and aunt, but they took two steps back.

Xu Hesheng's Shura-like voice rang in their ears.

"If my cousin can come back safely, I will of course be happy. If he can't come back, then... Hesheng will also take care of you both until the end of your life."

These words made Uncle Xu take two steps back.

Aunt Xu even sat down on the ground.

Her face was pale, and she could almost imagine that her only child was gone.

Xu Hesheng patted his sleeves.

"Okay, I have something else to do."

As he spoke, he walked out. As soon as he opened the door, a servant came running over.

"Second, Second Young Master is back!"

The second young master is naturally Xu Heyan.

The sound was so loud that not only Xu Hesheng heard it.

The two people in the room also heard it clearly.

Aunt Xu immediately got up and rushed out.

Xu Hesheng turned slightly sideways.

Xu's second uncle gave her a hand.

The two walked out hand in hand, but did not notice Xu Hesheng's thoughtful expression.

This Xu Heyan... is actually okay?

Xu Hesheng was a little uninterested.

No matter what, whether Xu Heyan is dead or alive, it does not change the established facts.

The Xu family can only belong to him, Xu Hesheng.

No one can become an obstacle on this road.

Xu Hesheng turned his head slightly, but he didn't know why Lu Heyi hadn't written to him yet.

But Lu Heyi has always been like this, so he didn't care much.

Xu Hesheng was confident.

He used all his abilities to connect the Xu family with the new emperor.

Now that the dust has settled, the Xu family will take another step forward sooner or later.

He raised the corners of his lips, his eyes full of ambition.

He understood what consequences the Hongcheng incident would bring.

Xu Hesheng knew even better what the consequences would be if this matter was traced back to him.

It’s just like a gamble, only by placing enough bets can you get more.

Instead of being timid and afraid of the consequences, it is better to give it a try.

Xu Hesheng is a businessman.

He always considers the benefits.

The whole city.

The Lord of Lanzhou looked at the two people in front of him and spoke carefully.

"I have already reported the matter of Hongcheng back to the capital."

Lu Anan raised her brows slightly, it was nothing.

"When we came to Mancheng, we ran into the Lanzhou garrison."

The Lord of Lanzhou immediately understood what she meant.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. The people I sent will be very careful with their words."

Lu Anan nodded with satisfaction. It was comfortable to talk to smart people.

The garrison commander naturally would not reveal that they had been to Hongcheng.

If someone insists on throwing dirty water at that time...

Lu Anan didn't mind letting him know what it meant to be reduced to ashes.

"Don't worry, Lord. As long as we can find the culprit, everything will be fine."

At most, it's a case of poor supervision.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not something that can be easily controlled by humans.

The Lord of Lanzhou was also unlucky.

As long as he can hand over the person, Chu Shengan will not touch him with the help of the Empress Dowager.

At most, you can lift it high and put it down gently.

The Lord of Lanzhou lowered his head and replied yes.

Chu Jinshen stood up.

"Thank you, my Lord."

He left with Lu Anan after saying this.

The Lord of Lanzhou followed behind him.

"Your Highness, it's time to take a good rest."

As he said this, he asked the servant who was guarding not far away to lead them back to the courtyard.
