Chapter 104 Do you dare to kill officials?
"If you have the guts, kill me. I won't tell you, and you'll never find it in your lifetime." Jiang Ning was defeated, so he just gave up and wanted to bury half of the treasure together.
"You!" Liu Yuan was furious and was about to kick him again, but was stopped by Xu Qingcheng.
"Stop kicking him! He's already dying. If he really dies, where will we get any news?"
Liu Yuan took a few deep breaths, threw his sleeves, and became withdrawn.
Jiang Ning sneered and sat down on the ground, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. No one could do anything to him.
Xihe took two steps forward and stopped five steps away from Jiang Ning. He asked curiously, "Uncle, how did you survive when you did something wrong back then?"
Xihe was talking about the prisoner exchange that year.
Jiang Ning's identity was discovered, and he knew that the group wouldn't dare kill him because they didn't have the treasure, so he started to speak without restraint, "What else can I do? Find a scapegoat? Who knows it won't be me?"
"So that's how it is." Xihe acted as if she had suddenly realized something. "Then your father and mother must love you very much. They are actually willing to change people for you."
"That's natural. My Jiang family has been a single-line family for three generations. I am the only male with the surname Jiang in this generation. I am their lifeblood." Jiang Ning said proudly.
"A male with the surname Jiang?" The little girl grinned and asked, "But uncle, your surname isn't Jiang, it's... Ning. Jiang Ning from the Jiang family is dead."
Liu Yuan looked at the little girl not far away in shock, and forgot to swallow the water in his mouth.
Perhaps because the secret room was too empty, Xihe's voice became more ethereal, echoing against the wall. Her words kept echoing in Jiang Ning's ears.
"Jiang Ning is dead?" The man slumped to the ground, repeating this sentence over and over again, his expression gradually becoming frantic. "The Jiang family has no descendants. I'm not Jiang Ning, I'm... Ning Jiang?"
"No! No! I'm not Ning Jiang! I'm Jiang Ning! I'm the only male in the Jiang family! I'm not Ning Jiang!"
Jiang Ning's struggle became more and more obvious, but he was tied tightly with ropes, and his whole body was wriggling from side to side like a cricket.
Xihe squatted there motionless, and a childish voice slowly rang out, "Jiang Ning is dead, but will there be another Jiang Jiang in the Jiang family?"
As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Jiang Ning, who had looked crazy just now, suddenly became quiet and stared at her in disbelief. Xihe smiled in return, then stepped back and ate the pastries Zhao Chengning gave her, one bite at a time, like a little hamster.
Zhao Chengning pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Jiang Ning, I don't care who you were before, nor what your name is now. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of that batch of gold and silver, I can make someone named Jiang Jiang appear in Jiangnan, and let your Jiang family's incense continue."
Jiang Ning's face showed some hesitation, but he was already showing signs of loosening. "Can you really help me?"
Zhao Chengning glanced at him indifferently, his official majesty fully revealed. "Besides me, who else can you trust? Who has this ability?"
Liu Yuan does not have a suitable identity, Xu Qingcheng is Zhao Chengning's uncle, Xiao Mingxuan's identity is not suitable, and Xihe is Zhao Chengning's sister. Almost everyone here respects Zhao Chengning, and no one's words carry more weight than his.
Liu Yuan quietly approached Xihe and asked quietly, "How did you know, little bastard?"
"I just guessed randomly." Xihe smiled and lowered his head to continue eating the cake.
Liu Yuan snorted and pinched the little girl's cheek without much force. "You're just talking nonsense."
He finally discovered that when the little girl was trying to hide her shortcomings, she would talk nonsense seriously, but you knew she was talking nonsense, but you couldn't do anything about it.
The Shenwu Guards brought enough food when they came. Xihe ate a lot before she felt full. She swallowed the last bite, patted the crumbs on her hands, and then took a bite of Liu Yuan's outstretched hand.
"Ah!" Liu Yuan didn't react and was bitten hard by the little girl.
He looked at the smiling little girl opposite him in disbelief, "Little brat, are you born in the year of the dog? Why are you biting people?"
There were two obvious teeth marks on Liu Yuan's wrist.
The little girl smiled brightly, "I've wanted to do this for a long time! It's your fault for always arguing with me!"
Xihe is not the type of person who will tolerate being wronged. She will seek revenge when there is a grievance and revenge when there is a grudge. Even if it takes a night, she will make up for the grievance.
Liu Yuan almost laughed out of anger. Unable to argue with the little one, he turned around and bullied the other kid, "Xiao Mingxuan, how can you control this girl? Which girl is as fierce as her?!"
Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyes to glance at the tooth mark, took a bite of the shortbread, and said lightly: "I think it's pretty good, not fierce, you deserve it!"
"Little brother~" The little girl leaned on Xiao Mingxuan's arm with a satisfied look on her face and smiled provocatively at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath, wanting to laugh but unable to. "You two are really something. One kills people, the other sets fires. One wants to climb the wall, and the other dares to hand over the ladder."
Xihe and Xiao Mingxuan smiled at each other, leaving Liu Yuan alone in the corner.
"I never want to come back to this damn place in my life." Liu Yuan sighed, as if all his energy had been drained away.
"You think too much." Xiao Mingxuan said lightly.
"Little brat, what are you doing? What's so good about this damn place? If I don't come, are you going to tie me up and bring me here?" As the little brat grew up, he was not as easy to coax as he was when he was young. He would say something to him from time to time. Once Liu Yuan's stubborn temper came out, he was bound to teach the little brat what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young.
Xiao Mingxuan mercilessly shattered Liu Yuan's dream. "There's a secret room under Dafeng Village, filled with bones. I guess they're the people Jiang Ning secretly disposed of for Jiang Zhongguo over the years. I took a quick look and saw that some of the skeletons were wearing official uniforms."
Liu Yuan's expression changed drastically. "He dared to secretly murder officials?"
"If he dared to detain you, what else could he not dare to do?" Xiao Mingxuan recalled the documents scattered in a corner of the secret room and said, "I guess they used the same method on you. I just don't know who was secretly replaced. You can find out for yourself."
The disappearance of most officials would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the imperial city. I think the only way is to use the same old trick again. Unfortunately, it has been a long time and some things are difficult to investigate.
Liu Yuan didn't respond, but instead looked carefully at the kid in front of him, his burning gaze impossible to ignore.
"Why are you staring at me? Don't expect me to help you. Don't forget that I am the prince of Beili." Xiao Mingxuan glanced at him indifferently and then looked away, but he felt a little more annoyed in his heart.
He was really bored, so why did he care about these things? It had nothing to do with him how many Tianshuo officials died, so why bother talking about it.
