Butler Zhou walked straight out.
Xu Hesheng looked at the person coming up in front of him and raised his hand.
"I'll go on my own."
The guards in the city didn't care and followed him.
Xu Hesheng gave Master Xu a soothing look.
On the contrary, Xu Heyan, who was standing next to him, couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
He waited until everyone had left before speaking to Mr. Xu.
"What's going on, cousin?"
Mr. Xu gave him a cold look.
"You also came back from Hongcheng. Do you think you can escape?"
Xu Heyan didn't care.
"Since I came back too, why did you only take my cousin with you?"
Xu Heyan shrugged and walked out.
He wanted to go and find out what was going on.
As for the ones that were lost...
Nothing is more important than the Xu family.
There weren't many things in Xu Heyan's room.
Their second branch had given a lot of good things to the bandits before.
Now their losses are the smallest.
Xu Heyan watched Xu Hesheng being taken away.
His eyes flickered slightly.
Although he wanted to take the Xu family from Xu Hesheng.
But at least he has some brains.
Not telling everything.
after all. . .
If the Xu family was gone, there would be no need for him to fight for anything.
Xu Heyan lowered his eyes.
He turned around and went back to his own yard.
Xu's second uncle also heard the news.
Seeing him come back now is a relief.
"Don't run out now."
Aunt Xu came over and looked at her son.
I had a fight with Xu Hesheng yesterday, fearing that something might happen to him.
Fortunately, nothing happened.
"Xu Hesheng was taken away."
Xu Heyan said in a deep voice.
Aunt Xu was also at a loss for a moment.
"Taken away? By whom?"
Xu's second uncle calmed down.
"You said it was the government officials who came?"
Xu Heyan nodded.
"It should be because of Hongcheng's matter."
When he came back last night, the family had a good conversation.
When Xu Heyan mentioned the Hongcheng epidemic.
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu both broke out in cold sweats.
Xu Heyan was very calm and repeated what he had said to the garrison commander yesterday.
"Although I look down on Xu Hesheng."
"But if something happens to him, it would be bad if the Xu family was implicated."
Xu Heyan thought for a moment and said, "I just want to see if the Xu family's patriarch is willing to do it now, just like he was back then..."
Xu's second uncle instantly understood what Xu Heyan meant.
The law of nature will always be retribution.
Xu Hesheng will not have a good ending if he is involved in this.
"Dad, do you think Xu Hesheng will be abandoned?"
Uncle Xu was silent for a moment before he spoke.
"Based on Xu Hesheng's abilities... he shouldn't be dealt with so easily."
Aunt Xu snorted.
"What does it have to do with us if he is fine?"
Xu's second uncle frowned.
"If something happens to him, do you think we can get away?!"
Only then did Aunt Xu react.
A little scared: "Then... Yan'er, does this have anything to do with your cousin?"
Xu Heyan shook his head: "The timing of his departure was too coincidental."
As soon as he left, something happened in Hongcheng.
Not to mention the Lord of Lanzhou, even he had doubts.
"Let's wait and see. By the way, remember to make some arrangements so that we can at least get some news."
The second uncle of the Xu family spoke.
Xu Heyan nodded: "I'll go now."
Lanzhou, full city.
In the dungeon of Mancheng Mansion.
Lu Anan and Chu Jin hid behind the screen.
The Lord of Lanzhou sat on a high seat, his eyes somewhat wandering.
"Just go ahead and interrogate him, my Lord."
With the curse cast earlier, it would be much easier to interrogate Xu Hesheng.
The Lord of Lanzhou sat up straight and asked someone to bring Xu Hesheng over.
Xu Hesheng came in and knelt down in the hall with his back straight.
There was no sign of panic at all.
"I have met Mr. Fu Jun."
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and the Lord of Lanzhou frowned.
It looks like... it's not easy to deal with.
"Xu Hesheng, what did you do in Hongcheng the other day?"
"There was a problem at the inn back home, so I asked Master Wenhua to go take a look."
Lu Anan raised her brows slightly.
The Lord of Lanzhou continued to ask.
"Why did you come back that night?"
"Once it's done, send Master Wenhua back as soon as possible."
"It's getting close to winter, and there's a lot going on, so I'm going home first."
This answer is also watertight.
But no other issues were mentioned at all.
Lu Anan felt something was wrong.
[Lu Luzi: It's impossible that Xu Hesheng didn't know anything about it.]
Everyone on the screen was listening.
[An unknown little emperor: He must have lied! ]
Lu Anan also leans towards this side.
But. . .
[Magician Xiwen: Oh~ That shouldn't be the case.]
Xiwen was also a little confused. How could there be any problem with his spell?
The Lord of Lanzhou continued to ask questions.
But Xu Hesheng's answer was flawless.
Lu Anan felt more and more that something was wrong.
The more you answer, the more you can answer. But if you listen carefully.
Again nothing was said.
"Sir, what happened in Hongcheng?"
The Lord of Lanzhou's face darkened.
The Hongcheng epidemic has not yet been officially announced.
So I can’t tell Xu Hesheng for the time being.
"If there really is any problem, our Xu family is willing to help."
When the Lord of Lanzhou heard this, his face turned even worse.
He knew clearly that the person in front of him was hiding something from him.
But it's not a good idea to keep him here any longer.
If the Hongcheng incident gets out, he will probably be the first one to suffer.
"If the Lord of the Mansion has nothing else to do, then... could you please let me go back?"
The Lord of Lanzhou felt helpless and stood up.
Lu Anan frowned.
It shouldn't be.
He's definitely hiding something.
But now that things have come to this, it’s hard to say what will happen if Xu Hesheng continues to stay.
The Lord of Lanzhou looked at the steward beside him.
Butler Zhou nodded immediately.
"Mr. Xu, let's go."
Xu Hesheng bowed and followed Butler Zhou.
"Then I will leave first."
Lu Anan looked at Xu Hesheng through the screen.
I really don't want to let him go like this.
She saw the little lion cast the curse last night with her own eyes.
Xiwen's spell won't be a problem either.
Then... it can only be the people who have the problem.
Lu Anan's eyes lit up.
Yes, maybe the person who came here was not Xu Hesheng at all!
She looked towards Chu Jinshen.
"A Shen, maybe this isn't Xu Hesheng."
Chu Jinshen also frowned.
"An An means that someone is taking the place of someone else?"
Lu Anan nodded.
"Let someone follow him!"
Chu Jinshen immediately arranged for Li Si to go over.
"Xu Hesheng really has a problem."
The Lord of Lanzhou was a little confused.
"Your Highness, what should we do now?"
"Watch the city gates and don't let anyone in or out."
Lord Lanzhou nodded.
"Then... the Xu family?"
"Send Xu Heyan over."
