After dinner, Xu Jinhuan looked at the time on the system page and found that it was almost the hour of Xu, so she led Xie Datou and the others to the big house.
Not long after entering the house, the officers called everyone in.
"Boss Xu, everyone is here, you can start talking now."
Xu Jinhuan smiled and nodded. She walked to the front of the crowd and clapped her hands, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"There is something that Master Xie and I have discussed for a long time, and I am sure we should tell everyone."
Xu Jinhuan paused here, and when she saw that the exiles were all looking at her seriously, she continued.
"I think everyone knows why we were exiled this time, right?"
As soon as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, a woman glared at Xu Wenzhong in the corner. She complained loudly, "What else could it be? It's all Xu Wenzhong's fault!"
The rest of the Xu family members who were implicated by Xu Wenzhong also nodded in agreement.
Xu Wenzhong covered his injured head, feeling the murderous gazes around him, and opened his chapped and cracked mouth, but in the end, he didn't say anything to defend himself.
The other families who were exiled together also pointed the finger at the culprit.
"If it weren't for Lin Wenwu, how could we have fallen to this point? If killing people was not against the law, I would have killed him with one strike of my sword!"
"Oh, it makes me angry when I talk about this. When He Xi Zhang was successful, our family didn't get any help. We were treated as poor relatives and despised. Even the New Year gifts we sent were thrown away.
Now their family has been convicted, and our family has been implicated as well. We are really in a dilemma!"
Everyone was talking at once to vent their frustrations, while those who were being scolded shrank their necks and closed their eyes. Even if someone cursed their ancestors for eight generations, they could only grit their teeth and bear it.
After all, what they said was indeed true. They were just innocent victims who were implicated.
Xu Jinhuan saw that everyone was getting angrier and more excited as they talked, and some were about to start fighting, so he quickly stopped them.
"Everyone calm down a bit. Aren't you curious about why I asked this?"
Xu Jinhuan's words really attracted everyone's attention. They all turned their heads. Although they knew it was impossible to end the exile, they were still looking forward to what Xu Jinhuan might say next.
Xu Jinhuan inexplicably felt that in this scene, everyone was like a cat attracted by dried fish, with their eyes wide open.
"Ahem."
Xu Jinhuan coughed lightly before speaking.
"You may know that this exile was caused by the concubine's family, the Wu family, but you may not know that the Wu family has arranged more than one thing against us."
The exiles were all stunned after hearing Xu Jinhuan's words, and then someone asked in confusion.
"Miss Xu, please tell us what else the Wu family has done!"
"Yeah, could it be that they want to hire someone to kill someone along the way?"
"Oh, what you said is possible. The bandits we met on the road might have been sent by the Wu family."
Xu Jinhuan coughed lightly, and after everyone quieted down, he began to explain.
"Everyone's guess is actually correct. The Wu family did want to hire someone to kill someone, and that group of bandits were sent by the Wu family.
The Wu family's viciousness goes far beyond this. They also want to send the young girls in our team to the brothels in Jiangnan."
After hearing the news, some of the exiles were immediately furious, some stood there in a daze, and some cursed loudly.
"Alas, the Wu family has absolute power in the court. If I continue to let this family go, I will be in real danger!"
"I knew it was like this, Wu Daoyi. As long as I, Lin Yexing, am not dead, I will never let him off easily."
"Damn it, the Wu family is really full of evil, I curse his ancestors for eight generations!"
This time, Xu Jinhuan did not ask everyone to calm down immediately. Instead, he stood quietly aside and waited for them to vent their anger.
However, those mentally ill people in the Xu family, for some reason, actually gave Xu Jinhuan grateful looks, which gave her goose bumps.
On the other side, everyone was cursing at the same time. After a while, someone suddenly reacted and looked at Xu Jinhuan not far away and asked.
"Miss Xu, since the Wu family has already made their move, even if they fail this time, there is no guarantee that they will have a backup plan. Can we still reach the exile place safely?"
The others also reacted and immediately echoed: "Oh, now that you ask, I'm scared too. Will we be in danger again?"
"Fortunately, we didn't have any bad intentions. If we had run away secretly and been caught by the Wu family, we would probably have lost our lives."
Xu Jinhuan felt everyone looking at her, praying for an answer, she nodded and spoke.
"Given the Wu family's vindictive nature, they will definitely not let this go, but there are more urgent matters at the moment."
Everyone was stunned again. How could there be such an urgent matter?
And what could be more urgent than the Wu family?
Xu Jinhuan winked at Xie Datou, who understood and left the room. After a while he came back with two people.
"Boss, I've brought the person you wanted."
Xu Jinhuan nodded, pointed at Xiang Linsheng and Su Sanxi, and said to everyone: "Do you still recognize them?"
The exiles looked at the two haggard men in front of them in confusion, and found that they were two unfamiliar faces and they were not from the exile team.
But there were still some careful people who recognized the clothes the two men were wearing.
"Isn't this the clothes Xiang Linsheng and Song Shulan are wearing?"
"Doesn't that mean these two strangers are them?"
“Oh my god, what on earth is going on?”
Xu Jinhuan clapped his hands and said seriously, "This is the more urgent matter I mentioned. These two people are assassins sent by Deyi Building. Their purpose is to kill us."
Many people in the exile team knew Deyilou and were aware of their ruthlessness, so when they heard the three words "Deyilou", they instantly panicked.
"Oh my god, who have we offended again? Even the people from Deyi Building are here!"
"I heard that there is no unfinished mission at Deyi Building. If we fail, they will send someone else to complete the mission. Then won't we be hunted all the time?"
"For a moment, I didn't know whether it would be better to die at the hands of the Wu family or at the hands of the killers from Deyi Building..."
Xu Jinhuan coughed lightly and continued, "This Deyi Building is just a tool in plain sight. Do you want to know who is manipulating the situation behind the scenes and who is treating us as pawns?"
Everyone in the exile team was not a fool. When they heard Xu Jinhuan say this, they knew that she must have investigated it thoroughly.
Some people began to subconsciously guess Xu Jinhuan's thoughts. They had been officials for many years and believed that no one would do these things for no reason. Xu Jinhuan must have some ulterior motive for being so dedicated.
So do they want to...
