Chapter 173 The Cheng Family is Blamed
"Really?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at Lian Xin beside him.
Lian Xin asked doubtfully, "As the young lady's cousin, his status must be noble."
"Cousin." A flicker of doubt flashed across Hua Qing's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "My eldest lady's cousin is quite remarkable. I see he has a full forehead and a blessed face. He is destined to be rich and powerful in the future. My eldest lady and him are a match made in heaven..."
"Hua Qing, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lian Xin interrupted as soon as she heard this.
"Lianxin, what I said is from the bottom of my heart." Hua Qing almost patted his chest to make the promise.
Xiao Jiuyue looked at her strangely. If she hadn't come from Lingnan with Chu Ang and He Changqing, she would have thought that Hua Qing was someone sent by Jun Lie.
Huaixian Academy.
Chief Steward Jin and two guards were guarding the academy gate. When they saw Xiao Jiuyue approaching, they immediately bowed and said, "Miss, everything is normal."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly. The last time she came to pick up Xiao Jiayuan, she was disappointed. Today, she found something wrong. Several carriages were parked at the door, and many people were looking around at the door.
Soon, the gate of the academy opened, and Xiao Jiuyue saw Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen running out together. Xiao Jiayuan was particularly happy when he saw Xiao Jiuyue.
"Sister." Xiao Jiayuan got on the carriage directly and chattered with Xiao Jiuyue about some interesting things in the academy.
Xiao Jiachen sat obediently beside the carriage. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
The carriage was heading towards Fu'an Village. Suddenly, it stopped abruptly. Xiao Jiuyue was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and directly grabbed Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen, barely preventing them from falling out of the carriage due to inertia.
"Miss, there is a thief." Lianxin lifted the curtain and said in a low voice. Butler Jin, who was leading the way in front, had already taken action.
"A few petty thieves, butler Jin and his men are more than enough to handle." Xiao Jiuyue took out some snacks from the secret compartment of the carriage and said, "Are you hungry? Eat some snacks to fill your stomach."
"Zhaohua Crisp." When Xiao Jiayuan saw the Zaohua Crisp, his eyes narrowed. He picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "Sister, how did you know I wanted to eat it?" With food to eat, Xiao Jiayuan forgot about his fear.
Xiao Jiuyue stuffed a piece directly into Xiao Jiachen's mouth and said, "I know you like it, so I made it specially for you."
After feeding the two little guys some food, Xiao Jiuyue finally found the time to look outside. It would have been fine if she hadn’t looked, but when she did, Xiao Jiuyue was stunned!
There was only one sentence in Xiao Jiuyue's mind: Big brother is right.
Hua Qing, a martial arts expert.
Not only were they skilled in martial arts, they were also ruthless. None of the petty thieves survived. Hua Qing said, "Miss, it's safe now. These clueless petty thieves wanted to pretend to be dead, but none of them survived."
The corners of Xiao Jiuyue's mouth twitched. Listening to Hua Qing's tone, it was as if a few chickens were slaughtered at home.
This little episode passed quickly. Xiao Jiuyue looked at Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen and said, "We just ran into a few petty thieves today."
"I won't tell my grandmother and mother, they will worry." Xiao Jiayuan said with ease.
Xiao Jiachen also nodded: "I won't tell Mom either." His mother would hug him and cry.
"So good." Xiao Jiuyue rubbed their heads and said, "I'll bring you some fun things when I get to the capital."
"I want a sword!" Xiao Jiayuan's attention was diverted almost instantly, and he said, "Sister, I want a sword. It's majestic and can protect you."
Xiao Jiayuan stretched out his hand and pretended to hold a sword, looking at the tiny person, but he looked quite capable.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue responded, "But I have to see you practice your calligraphy. No slacking off."
"Sister, don't worry, I won't be lazy." Xiao Jiayuan straightened his chest, his obsession with the sword was so deep.
Back home, as if the dangers on the road did not exist, Xiao Jiuyue asked: "Manager Jin, go check if those people we met on the road were sent by the Fang family."
Her eyes darkened slightly. The Fang family had attacked her time and again, and she really felt that her death was not quick enough.
"Yes." Manager Jin said, "Miss, I've found the girl you asked me to find who's good at martial arts."
"Bring it here tomorrow. If it's suitable, I'll keep it." Xiao Jiuyue deeply realized how important it was to have someone skilled in martial arts around these days. She said, "Butler Jin, over the next few days, think of a way to drive a wedge between the Cheng and Fang families. Ideally, it would be a dog-eat-dog situation."
"Miss, the Cheng and Fang families are at odds with each other. I will definitely find an opportunity." Manager Jin has been keeping an eye on the Fang family for such a long time that he has some idea of the situation.
On June 29th, a major incident occurred in Lancang County, and County Magistrate Cheng was arrested.
County Magistrate Cheng’s house was raided.
Eighty thousand taels of silver and countless treasures were seized from County Magistrate Cheng's house...
The news reached Xiao Jiuyue's ears one by one. Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly. It seemed that the retribution of the Cheng family had come.
night.
Manager Jin said excitedly, "Miss, I found an opportunity. The Cheng family was in trouble, and I went to the Fang family to ask for help. As a result, the Fang family also encountered trouble. I decided to go all out and directly misled the messenger. Now, the Cheng family thinks it was the Fang family who caused the trouble. When the Fang family encountered trouble, they thought it was the Cheng family who caused the trouble."
"I saw that something important was stolen from the Fang family. When Mr. Fang was leaving the house, he vomited blood and his face was as pale as a dead person." Manager Jin passed the news to Xiao Jiuyue in detail.
"Where did the Fang family go?" Xiao Jiuyue was not surprised at all. If the Cheng and Fang families were really invincible, there would be no such thing as Fang Caiwei being a concubine.
"In the mountains," said Chief Steward Jin, "the same mountains where the young lady's carriage had the accident last time, in the direction of Wan'an Village."
"Well, I understand." Xiao Jiuyue pondered. The thing that made the Fang family anxious should be the assassins. No, the thing that Lord Kong needed to protect was hidden in the mountains...
Either private soldiers or weapons.
"Miss, I've brought the girl who knows martial arts here." Chief Jin said, "I asked a friend to find her. She used to work at the escort agency, but... she's a widow."
"It's okay for a widow." When Xiao Jiuyue saw the person, she finally understood why Manager Jin hesitated to speak. This, this figure doesn't look like someone from an escort agency at all.
…
"Third Master, we've made a killing on this trip." Guo Sheng looked at the looted weapons—the spears, the long swords, the broadswords—all looking sharp. He said, "With these things, we can easily raise several thousand elite soldiers!"
Jun Lie put down a big knife and said, "Quickly collect the things and transport them away in batches."
"Okay, Third Master." Guo Sheng shouted immediately, and quickly broke the things into small pieces and shipped them out in batches.
They were busy until late at night before they quietly returned to the Xiao family's old house.
"Third Master, the Cheng family was arrested, and Mr. Fang came back empty-handed. When he returned, he seemed to think that the goods were stolen by the Cheng family." Guo Yang reported.
Guo Sheng said excitedly: "Then we are the ones who benefit the most, and no one has noticed yet?"
Not only did they get the things, but they also put the blame on the Cheng and Fang families. Just thinking about this makes people happy!
