"Master Xu, I was joking with Master Wen just now, you can't take it seriously!"

The young master named Xu still argued for himself, but his slightly trembling voice still betrayed him completely. What happened today, whether it was big or small, was all due to the thoughts of these adults.

"Bring it here."

Xu Shihuan said expressionlessly. Her sudden words made Mr. Xu unable to react and just froze there. However, Xu Shihuan did not have the patience to wait for him to respond slowly, and said in an impatient tone:

"Where's the token? Let me see."

Among the people kneeling behind, someone obviously realized Xu Shihuan's intention and hurriedly called out to the young master named Xu in a low voice, hoping that he would react quickly.

It's a pity that Mr. Xu was frightened by what he just said. He could only do as Xu Shihuan said. He didn't dare to think so much. He stretched out his hand and handed the token out. Xu Shihuan received it directly into his body without any hesitation, and then said sharply:

"Come here, take them away for me!"

"Master Xu, please spare my life! Master Xu..."

Although those people were the bastards who were not taken seriously by the family, they had never suffered any loss. They had never seen this kind of behavior before. Xu Shihuan's men moved quickly and blocked their mouths in three or two strokes.

When the surroundings calmed down, Xu Shihuan turned around and looked at Wen Yidi quietly, as if waiting for him to speak first. But Wen Yidi did not speak. Instead, he lowered his head and turned his red and swollen cheek in a direction where Xu Shihuan could not see.

"Ugh……"

Xu Shihuan let out a long sigh, stretched out a hand to lift Wen Yidi's chin, then gently touched the red and swollen area on his face, and said softly:

"Does it hurt?"

Wen Yidi quickly shook his head and said it didn't hurt. For some reason, when he was alone in the past, his injuries were much more serious than this. His whole body just felt numb and there was no special feeling.

But in front of Xu Shihuan, even for such a minor injury, he felt aggrieved and wanted to burst into tears. This guy really can't help but get used to it.

Wen Yidi didn't want to always look like crying in front of Xu Shihuan. If it were the first time to see him cry, you might feel distressed. It can be seen that if you see it too many times, you will only feel bored.

However, what Xu Shihuan said next was beyond Wen Yidi's expectation. There was neither boredom nor pity in her eyes, but she said to him in her usual chatting tone:

"From now on, you don't have to wrong yourself so much. If I were in Yong'an City, I would naturally not dare to say such arrogant words. But in Hezhou, I have the confidence."

Seeing Wen Yidi looking at him in surprise, obviously not understanding what she meant, Xu Shihuan put a smile on his face and joked:

"Are you stupid to be with Pan Junnan? I mean, you don't have to be afraid of anyone in Hezhou. If the sky falls, I will be there to hold you up. Even if General Guan bullies you, you can still hide. Stay far away and wait until I come to solve the problem, understand?"

"But……"

"It's okay to say goodbye. Now, apart from my grandfather, I am the biggest official in Hezhou. If I can't even protect you, I, the prefect, must have done too much!"

"Besides, I'm supporting you from behind, and you're making money for me from the front, isn't it great?"

Wen Yidi wanted to say something else, but Pan Junnan on the side interrupted him:

"Brother Wen, do you have a grudge against me? What Master Xu said is so good, why are you still pushing back?"

Xu Shihuan glanced at Pan Junnan and for the first time did not scold him. Instead, he said in a soft tone:

"That's what Pan Junnan wants to understand. Why are you still struggling here? Okay, let's go get something to eat first, and then we'll take care of those bastards."

After eating and drinking, the three of them entered the dungeon under the leadership of Xu Shihuan. Having said that, since Xu Shihuan became the prefect, he has not arrested any criminals with heinous crimes. Therefore, Mr. Xu and his party became the first group.

A cold and damp dungeon with no sunlight all day long. There was no need for torture, the terrifying atmosphere alone was enough to scare these young men out of their wits. When Xu Shihuan and others entered the dungeon, they heard a quarrel.

"Xu Hao, Xu Hao, I'm not telling you, you are so brainless! If something happens this time, don't expect me to wipe your ass!"

"What do you mean? Can this be all up to me? I see that my father's token is placed in the study and has not been touched for several years. If you hadn't told me, that token can command all the businessmen in the world. , can I steal it?”

"Okay, okay, stop arguing. Even if we argue like crazy, this matter can't be changed. In the end, it still depends on what Mr. Xu wants."

Hearing this, Xu Shihuan cleared his throat and asked:

"Have you had enough noise? Do you need me to wait for you a little longer?"

Hearing Xu Shihuan's voice, they shut their mouths for a few moments. Some of them even knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and shouted for mercy.

Before Xu Shihuan came here, he had already sent someone to deliver the letter. She just wanted to ask Lord Xu, Minister of Industry, whether he wanted Xu Hao as his son or not. If not, does she still want to get the token in her hand back?

She took Wen Yidi's hand, stood openly in front of several people's cells, and asked with a cold face:

"Who hit Mr. Wen in the face?"

To Xu Shihuan's surprise, no one in this group of people said a word. She raised the corners of her mouth and said with a mocking tone:

"I didn't expect that you are quite loyal. In this case, the crime of stealing tokens to threaten businessmen and seeking personal gain cannot fall on Mr. Xu alone."

When the others heard this, they were secretly shocked. They originally thought that Xu Shihuan wanted to use Wen Yidi as an excuse to take a big hit from their family. Unexpectedly, Wen Yidi's weight in Xu Shihuan's heart was much heavier than they imagined.

The only person she wanted to take revenge on was the person who beat Wen Yidi. Thinking of this, the loser who was originally following Xu Hao seemed to suddenly understand something. He got up from the ground and walked to Xu Hao's side.

Xu Haozheng felt relieved, thinking that these people were standing with him after all. But when he wasn't paying attention, a slap fell hard on his face. Before he had time to react, he heard the bitch say:

"Master Xu, I can swear that the injuries on Master Wen's face were all caused by Xu Hao. In this way, we will help Master Wen vent his anger. When do you think it's okay, you can let us out."
