Chapter 172
After everyone finished recording and left, it was almost noon. Jiang Youzhi looked at the sky and asked Pei Xun worriedly: "Beat people, shall we go to Mount Helian today?"

Pei Xun said, "Let's take it easy."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, but didn't ask any more questions.

At the same time, Jian Shizhe was anxiously waiting for the news. The next moment, officers and soldiers rushed over and reported: "My lord, Pei Xun's troops have withdrawn."

Jian Shizhe seemed a little surprised, he stood up abruptly, and said, "What? Withdrew!"

The officers and soldiers seemed a little cautious and said: "Yes..."

When Jian Shizhe heard this, he slammed his hands on the case again. Originally, they had already set up a net, and they were waiting for Pei Xun to enter Helian Mountain, so that he would die without a place to bury him, but now this thing happened again!
Luo Mansion, Jiang Youzhi was checking the account books just recorded in the study, this Luo Huanan turned out to be heavily in debt.

But what is the purpose of borrowing so much money from everyone?What's more, how huge the expenditure is, even his own shop is not enough to support it, it's really incredible to think about it.

At this time, Ah Chang also came back, and Jiang Youzhi hurriedly asked: "A Chang, how is it going? Did the investigation find any problems?"

Ah Chang replied: "There is nothing wrong with Liu Tongyou, but his son Liu Geng has an unusual relationship with Xie Songchang. They are cousins ​​and they have a close relationship on weekdays."

When Jiang Youzhi heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised: "Xie Songchang?"

You know, Xie Songchang is still locked in Jiangzhou Prison, he is stubborn, he will not accept soft and hard, let them use all methods, just refuse to say a word.

Ah Chang nodded and said: "Besides, this subordinate also found out something."

Jiang Youzhi subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"

Ah Chang then replied: "Liu Geng has a marriage contract with Yao Zuofeng, the second daughter of Lord Yao's third bedroom."

After hearing this, Pei Xun smiled unbearably: "It's Yao Zuofeng again."

"Yes." After Ah Chang replied, he paused and said, "Besides, I heard that Miss Yao will arrive in Helian tomorrow."

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Youzhi was even more puzzled. The two only had a marriage contract, but they were not officially married. How could Ms. Yao come to her husband's house in advance, a girl who has not left the court?

Thinking of this, she subconsciously said, "Tomorrow?"

Ah Chang seemed very determined: "That's true. I heard from people in the Liu Mansion that Master Yao dotes on Miss Yao very much, so he promised her to come to Jiangzhou to visit the mountains and rivers, and even promised her to visit the Liu Manor. Although it is not in compliance with the rules, the small He Mansion does not dare to criticize Mr. Shang Shu."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, so that was the case, but such a thing that was not in line with etiquette seemed to be something Master Yao was really able to do.

At this time, suddenly a guard hurried in and reported: "My lord, Xiao Hei is gone."

Jiang Youmeng was startled: "What?"

When the few of them felt Xiao Hei's room, they found that there was no one there. After some inspection, they found that Xiao He only took two sets of clothes for washing, and the rest of the things remained untouched.

Looking at the empty room, Jiang Youzhi subconsciously said while pondering: "Strange, strange..."

Ah Chang asked curiously, "Girl, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Youzhi seemed to think for a while, and then said: "When we said we were going to Helian Mountain the night before, Xiao Hei was very excited, as if he really wanted to go. At that time, I had some doubts. If he really If you are pretending to be stupid, then there must be some reason why you have to go, but today he obviously did not follow us to Mount Helian, so he left without saying goodbye, it is so strange."

Ah Chang thought for a while, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, if the goal was not achieved, he left without saying goodbye. Could it be that something more urgent happened that made him have to leave?"

Jiang Youzhi shook her head. She is not very clear now, it can be said that she has not cleared her mind at all. She is actually very conflicted about Xiao Hei.

On the one hand, she doubted him in her heart, but at the same time unconsciously hoped that he was not an enemy, and the encounter between the two had tortured her terribly.

But now that Xiao Hei left without saying goodbye, it was confirmed that he had a problem, which made Jiang Youzhi feel a little melancholy.

She suddenly thought of the evening five years ago, when she was sitting alone in the garden and weeping because she missed her mother and brothers.

After seeing Xiao Hei, he kept making himself happy. What he said at that time, Jiang Youzhi still remembered very clearly——

Sister, don't be sad, I will be my sister's family in the future, and I will accompany and protect my sister.

Jiang Youzhi patted his head with a smile at that time, and responded to him very touched: "Xiao Hei is so kind."

At that time, Jiang Youzhi believed very much in his heart, Xiao Hei was not an enemy, he did not lie to himself, maybe he was also a poor person like himself.

But everything now shows that Xiao Hei has always been pretending to be crazy, and she is just deceiving herself and others.After all, the entire Luo Mansion is now densely covered with Pei Xun's hidden guards, and it is not easy to escape without anyone noticing.

The guards inspected it carefully again, and found that nothing important had been lost.

Jiang Youzhi returned to the room somewhat disappointed, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Hei suddenly came to find her in the middle of the night yesterday, and even gave herself a waist card, now it seems that it was a farewell.

She dug out the token in the drawer and observed it carefully, but the token was unremarkable, it could even be said to be very mediocre in color, no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see anything unusual about it.

But Xiao Hei gave this thing to himself inexplicably, there must be a reason, or in other words, he wanted to tell himself something.

At the same time, Luo Huanan was tied to a frame, his lips were cracked due to drying up, and blood was oozing out.

The corners of his mouth were red and swollen, blood still remained, and he looked in a state of embarrassment. It looked like he had just been tortured. The officers and soldiers at the side saw that he passed out again, so they immediately poured a bucket of cold water on his head.

Luo Huanan shuddered, and he really woke up.

He slowly opened his eyes, and it was Jian Shizhe who was sitting opposite him.

Jian Shizhe stared at him for a while, then said, "Have you thought about it?"

Luo Huanan just grinned, his teeth were covered with blood, his smile seemed a bit sinister at the moment, and he slowly opened his mouth: "I won't say it."

Hearing this, Jian Shizhe gritted his teeth tightly, his face seemed to be extremely sullen, and he slapped his hands on the case.
