Xia Xizhou stretched out his hand to straighten the bamboo hat, and said with a slight smile: "The old man still expects Lord Hou to speak for me, but he dare not destroy the Great Wall by himself now, let alone talk about other things. Please forgive Master Hou, but don't worry, Lord Hou. After it is completed, the old man will definitely give Chief Hou a satisfactory answer."

Hou Zhong looked at him silently for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "My brother is a straightforward person, I believe you will not disappoint me, little old man."

Xia Xizhou smiled again, "I don't dare." He put away the fishing rod, stood up with the bucket in his hand, looked around, and then started to walk towards the path.

Qin Caisang frowned, and stopped him, "Where are you going, Your Excellency?"

"Naturally go back and rest." Xia Xizhou saw that her brows were furrowing, so he added another sentence, "Don't worry, Miss Qin, three days have passed, I won't be able to leave even if I want to. It only lives in the daimyo courtyard, if you think about it, you can come and find it anytime."

Qin Caisang snorted, "Who knows when you came?" But what he said was true, if he wanted to leave, he didn't have to come here at all, so he finally got out of the way and waited for him to walk deep into the bushes. Then he turned to stare at Hou Chongyi, "Is the leader Hou really going to negotiate terms with him?"

Hou Zhongyi breathed out the clouds slowly, "So what if we talk? So what if we don't talk?"

"It's nothing." Qin Caisang was annoyed, "Anyway, it's decided to only be with Hou Gangzhu. It's Qin who talked too much."

Hou Zhong glanced at her, smiled and shook his head, "Look, look, look, Miss Qin never listens to a word that doesn't go well with her, who will dare to..."

"Don't worry about this, the old gang leader." Qin Caisang interrupted him halfway, thinking that he shouldn't have said that much just now, "The old gang leader should worry about himself."

Hou Zhongyi didn't say anything, just sighed and stood up slowly.

Jiang Mei said charmingly: "Has the leader of the Hou Gang gone back?"

"Don't go back, don't go back." Hou Zhong shook his head and said, "Turn around casually, take a look, don't let Miss Qin's eyes get in the way here."

Qin Caisang snorted, "Master Hou is still a little self-aware."

"Cai Sang." Jiang Meiwu called her name helplessly, Qin Caisang avoided her sight with a guilty conscience, pretending that she hadn't heard it.Hou Zhong said with a smile that it's all right, and turned into the bushes.

It was Qin Caisang's best idea that he left, and immediately changed his attitude, "There is nothing to talk to him about at first, and besides, I'm already good-tempered enough, so let's ignore him, Meiwu, tell me, now we Where should I go to have a look?"

Jiang Meiwu glared at her, sighed helplessly, and followed her words: "Why don't you go back to the Fame Academy first, Xia Xizhou must know some of the joints in this village, and I'll write a book for Master Xie Zhuang to read. What does he think, let’s make plans later.”

"Okay." Qin Caisang nodded, although she didn't really want to go back, but after turning around with her head covered, she ran into Xia Xizhou, and if she turned around again, she bumped into Hou Zhongyi, who blocked her heart , she was bored to death.

Jiang Mei was so charming that she promised, she turned her head and saw the old man with white beard still standing by the water, then said politely again: "Mr. Ban is not leaving yet?"

The old man with white beard turned his face indifferently and shook his head slightly.

Jiang Meiwu was puzzled, "What does Mr. Ban mean?"

Qin Caisang's patience seemed to have been exhausted, so she pulled Jiang Meiwu up and left.

Jiang Meiwu still felt that something was wrong, and was about to explain a few words, but when she turned her head, she saw the old man with white beard following him, she was not surprised, so she wanted to open her mouth to ask, but Qin Caisang whispered in her ear: " Don't ask him, the more you ask, the more enthusiastic you will be, just like a broom star, just ignore him."

Jiang Meiwu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but seeing how confident she was, she had listened to her words.

Qin Caisang thought to herself that she had seen a lot of weird people like that, and Lian Yunsheng was the most typical of them, acting upside down, sometimes going along and sometimes going against it, to please him or to make him angry, is an extremely learned skill.This old man is probably the same, so ignoring him seems to be the best way at present.She simply pretended that no one was following her, and just said: "Meiwu, tell me, what does Chief Hou think? I thought people like him were the least fond of negotiating terms, and only wanted to cut grass and root out. I can't guess He would actually agree and ask someone to show his sincerity."

"Did you pay too much attention to the previous incident? On the contrary, it was biased." Jiang Meiwu sighed slightly, "Hou Gangzhu is actually more like a businessman most of the time."

"Really?" Qin Caisang shook her head, "Maybe so, anyway, I... I still find it unacceptable when I think about it."

"You can't tolerate sand in your eyes." Jiang Meiwu sighed softly, "But I don't know if you have noticed... Chief Hou seems to be very concerned about one thing."

Qin Caisang really didn't notice. At that time, she almost put all her thoughts on Xia Xizhou, preventing him from playing any tricks, and didn't pay much attention to Hou Zhongyi at all, "What's the matter?"

"How did Lian Yunsheng know about the secret room in Qingping Villa?" Jiang Meiwu murmured, "When Xia Xizhou mentioned Qingping Villa, Lord Hou expressed his attitude for the first time."

Qin Caisang thought for a while and said, "Maybe I didn't figure it out at the time, and I didn't think about it at the time, but now that I think about it, there should be quite a few people who know about it. Could it be that Xia Xizhou is referring to an internal thief?"

Jiang Meiwu shook her head and said: "Not as many people know about it as you think. In fact, Xie Shibo didn't know about it before my brother-in-law and I were trapped in the secret room."

"Really?" Qin Caisang was really surprised this time, "Then maybe Lian Yunsheng is really a mistake?"

"That's really a coincidence." Jiang Meiwu smiled wryly, "But it's unlikely, because those explosives... Maybe it wasn't arranged by Lian Yunsheng."

Qin Caisang frowned, "How is this possible?"

"Master Xie said that he carefully checked the remaining gunpowder in the secret room. Judging from the degree of moisture, the medicine has been piled up for at least seven or eight years, and most of them are unusable." Jiang Meiwu said softly, "So Only Xia Xizhou and Deputy Gang Leader Xiang can survive."

Qin Caisang felt even more inconceivable, "Then...that is to say, Master Xie and the others knew that Qu Liuyao's words were false, but they still let her go?"

Jiang Meiwu looked at her and said: "Otherwise, what can I do? Could it be that if you keep her here, she will tell the whole story?"

"That's true." Qin Caisang took it seriously, didn't they say that Xia Xizhou and the others used torture, that would not be able to exchange Qu Liuyao's truth, Xie Mingding and the others said in a good voice, they must have no way of knowing, It's better to let her go, and follow the vine.Hey, speaking of it, this seems to be the usual trick of the Eight Great Families, but...

"If the explosives weren't arranged by Lian Yunsheng..." Qin Caisang looked up at Jiang Meiwu, and the confusion in his eyes gradually became stronger, "Then who could it be?"

Jiang Meiwu hesitated for a moment, "Actually... I have an idea."

Qin Caisang looked at her expectantly, "Huh?"

Jiang Mei said flatly: "The people who know the most about the affairs of the village are naturally the people in the village."

"Of course, Master Ding will know when he is sober." Qin Caisang thought of Ding Shimaolai who was drunk, and sighed inwardly, "But he won't be able to get all these explosives by himself. Wouldn't he?"

"That's right." Jiang Meiwu nodded, "However, 20 years ago, there was not only the owner of Ding in the villa."

"20 years ago..." Qin Caisang only felt a little headache, and thought about all the 20 years ago that he had heard in the past two days. Suddenly, if he got something, "Do you mean that... Son? Isn't he dead yet?"

Jiang Meiwu nodded slightly, and said briefly: "He is still alive."

"Still alive? Ha, still alive!" Qin Caisang couldn't believe it, "Isn't this too impossible? It's been so long, if Lord Hou really wanted to take revenge, he would have killed him even if he dug three feet into the ground I dug it out. I'm afraid it was because I saw the owner of Ding before that I suddenly realized that I was acting? Although it's not good to talk about people behind their backs, I still really want to say something..."

"Frivolous and ungrateful."

The faint voice had no fluctuations, but it startled both of them.They really forgot that there was Mr. Ban following behind, and they turned their heads when they heard the sound, but saw that the white-bearded old man was still calm, staring at the two of them indifferently, as if the person who spoke just now was not him.

Qin Caisang and Jiang Meiwu waited for a while, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, they had no choice but to continue walking, and Mr. Ban followed suit and followed.

Undoubtedly a weirdo.

"Your words are really biased." Jiang Meiwu imitated her appearance, listened to her, and said in a very low voice, "I also heard Shibo Xie mention it by chance. Master Ding only said karma, there is no need If he doesn't do any more evil, then let it go. Leader Hou and the others don't want to disobey his will, but they have pursued him for a long time in private, but they found nothing in the end."

"The owner of that Ding is actually..." Qin Caisang didn't know what to say for a moment, they had already made their own choices, why should she be thinking meaninglessly? "Forget it. If Master Hou really has the intention, then it's none of our business. Tell me, how can we meet the owner here? If we say it depends on fate, how can we count it as fate?"

"Fate will naturally come to fruition." Jiang Meiwu changed the subject according to her wishes, "But I just want to say that this place is different from when we came here."

Qin Caisang looked around, and saw that the trees were different again, they were full of pomegranate flowers, and the beauty was beautiful, but she was not in the mood to appreciate it at the moment, "Forget it, I don't want to bother anymore, let's call someone .”

Mr. Ban suddenly said: "The eight trigrams ecstasy array."

Qin Caisang couldn't help being surprised, "Do you know formation?"

Mr. Ban said nothing, just shook his head.

Qin Caisang sighed secretly, thinking that what he said was in vain, it would be better if he didn't say it, it would make her happy for nothing, and in the end she had to call someone and go back and forth a few times before going back to the Academy of Fame.

As soon as he entered, he saw the little fat man Zou Huaixin standing guard in the courtyard, hurriedly came to meet him and said, "Sister Qin, Sister Jiang, you are back. The uncle said that he has something to discuss with you. Didn't Chief Hou come back together? "As he spoke, he looked behind the two of them, and when he saw the white-bearded old man walking slowly over, he couldn't help saying, "This old gentleman is..."

"This old gentleman will talk about it later, tell me what's going on?" Qin Caisang wondered if it was King Yong who was looking for trouble for him?Or did King Yong not want to see him?

Zou Huaixin obediently said, but still sneaked a glance at Mr. Ban, "It's Xie Chenge and Xie Shaoxia."

"Eh?" Qin Caisang was surprised, Xie Chenge should be with Xie Mingding at this time, why did he come here so soon?Did something happen to Xiangcheng again?What can Shen Qiubei discuss with them? "Where are they?"

Zou Huaixin pointed in a direction, and Qin Caisang and Jiang Meiwu looked at each other before stepping over.

Mr. Ban still followed step by step. Zou Huaixin saw that neither of them stopped him, so he also staggered along.

Qin Caisang stopped after walking a few steps, looked outside the door, Xie Shenge and Shen Qiubei were standing and sitting in the room, one looked up at the window, the other looked down at the table, on the table was a small wooden box with a hollow lid Hidden, I don't know what is in it.

Qin Caisang couldn't help but wonder, could it be the box that Qu Liuyao mentioned?
