The plump white lady next to her has never closed her mouth since she entered the room.
Although she knew that Xu Jinhuan was good at martial arts, she did not expect that this child was so meticulous. In just a few days, he unraveled the mystery and found out the owner of the hands hiding in the dark.
Although Aunt Baipang is a woman, a merchant family does not have as many rules as an official family. She has been helping her parents with accounting since she was a child and has met all kinds of people. She is slightly better than her husband in dealing with people and things.
The plump white aunt thought for a while, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, and she pinched her husband lightly.
"Hi, my lady, I've been behaving pretty well lately. I haven't done anything wrong, have I?"
The fat white man looked at his wife in confusion, not knowing what he had done wrong to make his wife angry.
The plump white aunt gave her husband a helpless look, then leaned over to whisper something in his ear.
The fat white man looked even more confused after hearing this. "Really? But she is just a little girl."
The plump white aunt poked her husband's fat belly and asked back as she poked.
"You are not young anymore, so can you fight against the leader of the horse bandits? Can you find out what happened to the Wu family? Can you find out that there is something wrong with Xiang Linsheng and the others? Can you not be afraid of Deyilou?"
The fat white man's head shook faster and faster, almost like a rattle.
He replied in a muffled voice, "No."
The plump white aunt then raised her head proudly, "Why don't you just do as I say and go and give my family a good time."
The fat white man looked at his wife's pride speechlessly, muttering: "Every day is your family's happiness, your family's happiness, you have never praised our Mingren Mingli like this."
The fat white lady scolded with a smile, "Go away, you are still arguing. Whenever they did something worthy of my praise, I would have praised them. Hurry up and do the work, and I will praise you after you are done."
So, while everyone was still discussing with each other, the fat white man walked in front of Xu Jinhuan, bowed respectfully to Xu Jinhuan, and finally knelt on one knee on the ground.
"Miss Xu, as long as you can lead our family to the north safely, I, Xu Qibo, am willing to obey your orders and follow your lead. If I betray you, I will be struck by lightning!"
The fat white man, Xu Qibo, changed his honest image in front of the fat white aunt. At this time, he stared at Xu Jinhuan with sharp eyes, and his face showed sincerity and determination.
Xu Jinhuan didn't expect that the first to make a choice would be Aunt Baipang's family. When she turned her head, she saw Aunt Baipang's big smile and the encouragement in her eyes.
Xu Jinhuan nodded to the plump aunt, then walked over and helped Xu Qibo up.
"Uncle Xu, I feel your and Aunt's sincerity. As long as I, Xu Jinhuan, am still here, I will not let you take risks on the road to exile."
Xu Qibo smiled and said, "Okay, with your words, I feel relieved!"
Because of Xu Qibo’s actions, many families also made their choice.
"Miss Xu, my family is willing to obey your orders!"
"My family is willing to do so. If it weren't for Miss Xu, the girls in my family who are still waiting to be married would definitely be sent to brothels."
"Yes, Miss Xu has saved us many times along the way. It's time to repay her."
Where there are positive attitudes, there are also negative ones. There are also many people who, although they have received Xu Jinhuan’s kindness, have not made a choice and are still in a wait-and-see state.
Xu Jinhuan did not urge her. She wanted to win people's hearts just to make them more obedient and cause her less trouble.
And if they are unwilling to do so now, they will basically change their minds once she finishes her final message.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. I'm going to talk about the real person behind this."
When the crowd who were originally whispering heard this, they quickly shut up and waited quietly for Xu Jinhuan to speak.
"According to our investigation, Mr. Lin is from the Eastern Palace, and the mission for Deyi Building was also issued by someone from the Eastern Palace."
This message from Xu Jinhuan rang in everyone's ears like a muffled thunder. Everyone present rubbed their ears in unison, trying to prove that they had just heard wrong.
After a long while, someone asked tremblingly, "Miss Xu, is that really the one?"
Xu Jinhuan nodded again in front of everyone.
The whole room was in an uproar. Everyone started talking loudly and some who were angry started cursing.
"Is there something wrong with that guy? We have no grudges against each other in the past or the present, why would he choose to attack us?"
"That's right. We are honest officials and down-to-earth people. We only talk to him five times a year, and they are all to greet him. Who did I offend?"
"Logically speaking, even if he wanted to mess with someone, he should mess with the people who are still in the capital, and not chase after us exiles, right?"
Everyone was confused, so Xu Qibo was the first to bow and ask, "Miss Xu, do you know the reason?"
Xu Jinhuan sighed and explained, "The prince has no grudge against us, but he has a grudge against the Wu family who are targeting us. He originally wanted to take advantage of the situation.
When we were almost defeated by the bandits, he took the evidence back to Beijing to file a complaint, but he didn't expect that I would intervene and his plan would be shelved."
Everyone was not stupid. Xu Jinhuan only said a few words and they quickly figured out the general situation.
"We are the fish on the chopping block, and everyone wants to take a cut."
"This game has really been played out by these people in power. If it weren't for Miss Xu, even if we managed to escape the horse bandits, we couldn't escape the prince's trap!"
"The prince has always been arrogant and domineering. If we make him suffer a setback this time, he will definitely not let it go. What should we do?"
After everyone discussed for a while, several families chose to join Xu Jinhuan.
Xu Jinhuan smiled with a sense of control, and continued, "You all guessed correctly, the prince will not give up, he will send a team of guards to attack us this time.
But if we were not vegetarians, the rain would be getting heavier and heavier, and the mountain road would be difficult to walk on. We have a lot of people, so we have the advantage of time, place, and people!"
Everyone shuddered when they heard that the Royal Guards were coming. That was an army directly under the royal family, and it was said that all of them were experts.
But after Xu Jinhuan finished his analysis, everyone's originally uneasy hearts gradually settled down. Although they did not say it explicitly during these days, they really began to believe in Xu Jinhuan.
"Everyone should know why we moved from the dilapidated temple to the mountain. Now two enemies, the Wu family and the prince, have appeared. Who knows, trouble may arise in the mountain at any time.
Therefore, in order to live in harmony during this period, I have to make some rules. Once someone breaks the rules, they will be seriously injured or even killed."
Xu Jinhuan was now ready to set up rules for these people and take this opportunity to eliminate those who were disobedient. Although she was here to complete the mission, she would not save everyone.
Instead of letting some people find fault with her, it would be better to die early, which would save her a lot of trouble.
