Shock flashed across Xiao Heng's eyes, and he looked back at Mrs. Xiao, only to see Mrs. Xiao's beautiful face, which was indescribably calm.

Chu Huan was also a little horrified. He knew that this woman was very scheming, but he didn't expect that he was not only very scheming, but also ruthless. As the saying goes, the most poisonous woman's heart, this woman really lives up to her name.

Chu Huan knew that Xiao Huanzhang's original wife had passed away long ago. This Mrs. Xiao was originally a concubine.

Mrs. Xiao has no children, so it is not difficult to understand that Xiao Huanzhang is over fifty years old, nearly sixty years old, Mrs. Xiao is just in her early thirties, and Xiao Huanzhang was already over forty years old when she took a concubine.

Chu Huan had met Xiao Huanzhang before, and he knew at a glance that Xiao Huanzhang must have been an overindulgent person when he was young. This year, he married Mrs. Xiao, a beautiful woman like a flower and a jade, in his forties. Mrs. Xiao had no children for a long time, but it was not accidental.

Xiao Jingsheng's brothers were both born to his first wife. Although they are mother and son with Mrs. Xiao, they are not related by blood.

Even so, it is still the status of mother and child. When Mrs. Xiao said that she wanted to eradicate the Xiao family brothers, it seemed that she was just eradicating irrelevant people, and she didn't care about the relationship between mother and child.

Although Chu Huan was startled, she smiled and said, "Madam, you mean to kill the Xiao family brothers?"

Xiao Heng couldn't help shivering in his heart, but Mrs. Xiao looked down at Xiao Heng with a smile, and asked: "Heng'er, this is the only way my aunt can think of, if there is any other way, I can only ask Chu Du for advice. "

Xiao Heng looked at Chu Huan, and before he could speak, Chu Huan said, "This is your Beishan's internal affairs, and it is not for the governor to intervene, and Mr. Xiao has his wife by his side to advise, I believe that the danger can be saved."

Xiao Heng said softly: "Kill...kill them...!" The expression in his eyes was very complicated. After a while, he became firm and sneered: "What my aunt said is true. If they don't die, I will die by their hands sooner or later. The first strike is the best...!" Then he frowned and said, "But it is really not easy to kill them. They have many followers in Beishan and are very powerful. I...my strength is definitely not their opponent."

Mrs. Xiao had already said: "Only relying on Heng'er himself, of course there will be many difficulties. Beishan is full of their father and son's eyeliner. Without help, Heng'er has no hope of success." Beautiful eyes flowed, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "But With Governor Chu coming to help today, is Heng'er still worried that he won't be able to achieve great things?"

Xiao Heng shook his body and looked at Chu Huan.

But Chu Huan smiled and said, "Why did Madam assert that the governor will help Mr. Xiao? After all, this is a matter of your Beishan. The governor is upright and aboveboard. He is the chief official of the empire, and the Xiao brothers are also court officials. The governor And why did you help you kill the court officials?"

Mrs. Xiao sighed quietly: "Don't Governor Chu know that although the northwest still belongs to the territory of Qin State, the imperial court's decree can still be effective in the northwest? Whether it is Zhu Lingyue or Xiao Huanzhang, the decree that harms their interests is absolutely in the northwest. Impossible to implement, the so-called imperial decree is just a tool they can use when they need it. As far as the officials in the Northwest, Chu Du is the governor of Xiguan Road, and he is a powerful official in the frontier. Let me ask you, whether it is Beishan Dao is still the magistrate of Moliu County in Tianshan Dao, does Chu Du think they will have the slightest respect for you?"

Chu Huan shook his head and sighed, "I'm afraid they all thought that I would die earlier."

"Today's Northwest Three Ways, each dominates one side, and the governor of Chu sits in Xiguan. As far as I know, the officials in Xiguan, and the governor of Chu are all using his own people." Mrs. Xiao said with a smile: "If the imperial court sends someone now Will Governor Chu agree to replace the officials in Xiguan?"

Chu Huan just smiled, but didn't speak.

Since this woman has said everything for this sake, there is no need for Chu Huan to say some high-sounding words. If he just arrived in Xiguan and the court sent many officials, he naturally has no objection, but he bleeds several times. Xiguan was under his control, and if the imperial court sent officials to replace the ones he appointed, Chu Huan would not easily obey.

Seeing that Chu Huan was silent, Mrs. Xiao smiled charmingly: "Officials from Beishan are no longer officials of the imperial court, but officials of Xiao Huanzhang, just like Xiguan, officials of Xiguan are not officials of the imperial court, but officials of Chu Du. Even if Brother Xiao Jingsheng is really killed, Governor Chu can't be regarded as killing the imperial court official."

Chu Huan stroked his chin and said leisurely, "But why did I kill them? Do you know that they are Xiao Huanzhang's sons. If their deaths are related to Ben Du, have you thought about the consequences?"

"Because Governor Chu's ambition is in the northwest." Mrs. Xiao said without hesitation, "It's also because Governor Chu thinks Heng'er is available."

"Oh?" Chu Huan said with a smile, "Why did Madam say that?"

"What is Chu Du's identity? He came here tonight and showed himself, but he can still talk freely. If he didn't think Heng'er is useful, why bother talking." Mrs. Xiao smiled: "Chu Du's biggest worry now is not in Tianshan. , only in Beishan!"

Chu Huan asked with great interest, "Why did Madam say that?"

"In the chaos between Jinzhou and Hezhou, Chu Du and Zhu Lingyue have completely torn their faces apart. There is a clear distinction between water and fire, so the battle with Zhu Lingyue, Chu Du was already prepared." Mrs. Xiao raised her hand and stroked a strand of black hair on her cheek. Behind the ear, gracefully, "Under the current situation, what Chu Du is most worried about is Bei Shan's attitude. You are only afraid that Bei Shan will join hands with Tian Shan to attack from both sides. withstand."

Chu Huan chuckled lightly and said, "Ma'am, you mean Beishan will join forces with Tianshan?"

"Then what does Governor Chu think?" Mrs. Xiao asked with a smile.

Chu Huan sighed: "People's hearts are unpredictable, and I can't figure it out either. Madam is the person next to Xiao Du's pillow, and she has a lot more understanding of Xiao Du's thoughts than Ben Du."

Mrs. Xiao said: "Xiao Huanzhang is a greedy person!"

This unreasonable sentence made Chu Huan a little puzzled, and asked, "What does Madam mean?"

"What Zhu Lingyue can give, Chu Du can't give." Mrs. Xiao sighed quietly: "Zhu Lingyue has enough money and food, and has a strong army, but Chu Du is still worrying about the people's livelihood in Xiguan...!"

She didn't continue, but Chu Huan already understood what she meant.

For Xiao Huanzhang, his best plan is of course to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but this is just his wishful thinking. Neither Zhu Lingyue nor Chu Huan can let Xiao Huanzhang sit back and enjoy the benefits.

Therefore, if there is a war in the northwest, Beishan will inevitably be involved.

Whether it is an alliance with Tianshan or Xiguan, whether it is Chu Huan or Zhu Lingyue, they are not sure what Xiao Huanzhang is thinking. Madam Xiao pointed out that Xiao Huanzhang is a greedy person. Huan, in other words, the possibility of an alliance between Beishan and Tianshan is far greater than that of Xiguan.

"Even if Xiao Huanzhang is hesitant and doesn't want to become Zhu Lingyue's pawn, once Xiao Jingsheng and his brother control the power of Xiguan, the alliance between Beishan and Tianshan will be unstoppable." Mrs. Xiao's eyes rolled, and she said softly: "Heng'er also said just now However, Xiao Jingsheng and Zhu Lingyue have a good personal relationship, Xiao Jingsheng can get a lot of benefits from Zhu Lingyue every year."

Chu Huan sighed: "In this way, the governor can't let brother Xiao Jingsheng take power?"

"Xiao Huanzhang is old, and his health is getting worse." Mrs. Xiao talked about her husband, as if she was talking about an outsider, "He is very weak. If the Northwest really wants to mess up, maybe there will be no problem for a year or so , After a long time, he can't support it, so he can only delegate power to his son, Chu Du, of course you don't want to see this situation."

Xiao Heng finally said: "That's right, Xiao Huanzhang's body has been hollowed out by wine and sex. Although he is cunning, if a fight really starts, he may not be able to control the overall situation. Financial matters have always been handled by Xiao Jingsheng, while the matter of soldiers and horses is handled by Xiao Heng." It's Xiao Jingqian, he's just an old trash who eats, drinks, and waits to die." His eyes turned cold, and he had already clenched his hands, apparently resenting Xiao Huanzhang for a long time, which he had been holding back, but it gradually showed tonight.

"So you think I should help you?" Chu Huan asked, staring at Mrs. Xiao.

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "If Xiao Jingsheng's brothers are gone, Xiao Jingsheng's only heir can only be Heng'er. If Heng'er has the power of Beishan, he will naturally repay Chu Du's help. You can obey Chu Du's orders."

After all, Xiao Heng is also a smart person, and he already knew the key points, and immediately said: "Chu Du, if this is the case, Xiao Heng will obey Chu Du's order, go through fire and water, and will not hesitate."

He was already excited.

From Mrs. Xiao's words, he already understood that if an agreement could be reached with Chu Huan tonight, Chu Huan would naturally not spread the dirty story of his mother and nephew's adultery. Not only that, but with Chu Huan's help, He is more likely to hold the power of Beishan. Even if he really has to obey Chu Huan's orders in the future, it is of course much better to obey Chu Huan's orders than to be exposed for adultery or even killed by Brother Xiao Jingsheng.

He wholeheartedly wanted to possess Mrs. Xiao for a long time. If he got the power of Beishan, Mrs. Xiao would naturally become his own confinement. Thinking that he could wake up and take the power of Beishan, and lie drunk on his aunt's lap, his heart beat quickened.

Chu Huan pondered for a while, stood up, and sighed: "Forget it, I didn't see anything tonight, and I didn't hear anything...!" She actually walked straight past Mrs. Xiao, towards the back window .

Xiao Heng's face changed slightly. Mrs. Xiao saw Chu Huan walking past her, but she didn't show any signs of panic. The corners of her mouth curled up. Before Chu Huan could reach the back window, she smiled lightly and said, "Did Chu go this way?" ?”

Chu Huan didn't look back, and put his hands behind his back, and said, "No matter what, Governor Xiao didn't break up with the governor after all, and it's really inconvenient for the governor to intervene in the Beishan affairs."

"Does Governor Chu not trust us?" Mrs. Xiao slowly turned around, staring at Chu Huan's straight back.

Chu Huan said: "How can I trust you? To tell you the truth, you are the people around Xiao Du after all, so I have to be careful."

Mrs. Xiao did not hesitate, and said softly: "If you make a blood oath, of course Governor Chu will not doubt it."
