Chapter 41
The two stood on the porch, and the beautiful scenery in the pool was not the same as yesterday.

Lu Chengfeng said: "Uncle Hu, is there anything you can do about the Xie family?"

Hu Rong smiled and shook his head: "It's not easy to get involved in this matter. Suyuan Chen's family, the Chen family now insists that Xie Yunqian ordered it, and...someone pointed out that during the Nanling flood last month, the Chen family had been to Xie Yunqian. government."

"Last month..." Lu Chengfeng was suspicious: "Could it be the time of Xie Yi's funeral?"

Hu Rong nodded: "I came here today mainly for this matter. Xie Cen is a little absurd on weekdays, but there is nothing wrong with his behavior. Xie's family is at a critical juncture, and his temper is not calm enough. These few days should be Cha What happened, his grandfather had just passed away, and his elder brother was framed again, I was worried that Xie Cen would go wrong and do something irreversible."

Lu Chengfeng's heart sank and he looked at Hu Rong.

Hu Rong said: "I'm afraid you still don't know that Suyuan Chen's family was originally a merchant, but a few years ago, it suddenly became the magistrate of Suyuan County. Everyone in the magistrate knows that those who have money have the right to make their own arrangements. He also turned a blind eye. In the spring of last year, Chen Shou was suddenly promoted to the magistrate of Lingxi, and he was in charge of the three counties including Suyuan. This Zhizhou has been up to today.”

Lu Chengfeng said: "It is impossible for Chen Shou, a local governor, to dare to attack Xie's family for no reason. There is someone instigating behind this."

Hu Rong nodded: "You are right. This is the most critical point of the whole matter. The person who instructed the Chen family is the key to this incident. The Chen family is a well-known merchant in Lingxi. Can make ghosts grind, but can't hold power. The family of officials has been passed down from generation to generation. Chen Shou has a son who is really average in learning and ability. After three years, he can't even pass the exam for a scholar. Chen Shou wants to change the businessman of the Chen family Fate, but he is over 50 this year, unless a trap falls on him, there is no possibility of promotion, and the Chen family's hopes are all pinned on this son."

Lu Chengfeng frowned lightly: "So, he dragged Xie's family into the water and didn't care about it himself, just for his son's future career?"

Hu Rong's eyes darkened slightly: "Exactly."

Lu Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then said: "...then the person who instructed the Chen family?"

Hu Rong's eyes fell in the distance, and he said after a while: "You should also recognize it."

Lu Chengfeng looked sideways.

"It is the current Minister of Rites, Fan Jie."

Lu Chengfeng's pupils shrank.

Hu Rong sighed, and said: "The most intelligent thing about Fan Jie is that he can judge the situation from both sides, and it is reasonable for Fan Shizhouliu's incompetent person not to enter the officialdom, but for a young talent like Fan Shiyuan, he can bear it." Stop, this will prevent the Fan family from following the current path of the Xie family."

Lu Chengfeng looked at the gradually bright autumn colors, and suddenly felt an unspeakable exhaustion in his heart. He didn't know whether it was because of the Xie family, or because of this filthy officialdom. The seat is always occupied.

She was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "So the Xie family wants to get out of this matter, unless Chen Shou changes his mind."

Hu Rong said: "If he is willing to change his words, he would have changed his words before he was escorted to Beijing. I'm afraid Xie Cen should have found out about the Fan family. The current chaos is happening. If he makes a wrong move, the Xie family will really not be able to survive. Yes, I see that he listens to you quite a bit, so you persuade him and tell him not to be impulsive."

However, at night, Xie Jiuxiao did not return home.

The whole garden was empty.

At dawn, Lu Chengfeng was thinking about Hu Rong's words during the day, but these words were not appropriate for her to say. Thinking about this for a while, she got up and walked outside.Just arrived at Xie Yunqian's garden, the maid went in to tell Zhou Lihua, she waited in the courtyard, a moment later, Thirteen came from the arch.

He looked very anxious, seeing Lu Chengfeng walking in without even thinking about talking, Lu Chengfeng's heart sank, and he followed: "What happened?"

Thirteen's face was extremely ugly: "I want to find the young lady, but I can't help it, the young master is crazy!"

Lu Chengfeng stopped him: "What's wrong with Xie Jiuxiao?"

Shisanyi looked as if the sky was falling: "The young master robbed Fan Shiyuan's wife and daughter in the suburbs of Beijing. He sent someone to send a letter to Fan Jie, saying that if Chen Shou didn't change his words before the third watch, he would chop the two of them up." Broke it and feed it to the wolves in the suburbs!"

Thirteen said with difficulty: "Neither Nineteen nor I can stop him. He is the master and we are the guards. How dare we stop him? The young master has been like this since he was a child. After arriving at Dali Temple, the master is far away in the ancient temple in the mountains, I am afraid that he is the only one in the world who can listen to the words of the young lady, so I have to give it a try!"

The little madman!
Lu Chengfeng's face darkened instantly, and he said, "Where is the other person?"

"It's in the villa not far from the outskirts of Beijing, where Nineteen is watching."

Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth: "Take me there!"

Thirteen hesitated, and quickly glanced at the room, Lu Chengfeng said coldly: "Young Madam is pregnant and has already moved her fetus. If she hears the news again, at worst, this may be the only offspring of the Xie family. , are you going to take the risk?"

The main reason is that even if Zhou Lihua went, Xie Jiuxiao couldn't be stopped.

Thirteen was amazed, but also hesitated, Lu Chengfeng ignored him, turned his head and walked out.

It seemed that Uncle Hu had really noticed Xie Jiuxiao's actions in the past two days. He had a thorough understanding of Xie Jiuxiao's temperament, and he came to the door out of good intentions.

Thirteen took Lu Chengfeng and galloped all the way, and went straight to the villa after leaving the city gate.

Xie Jiuxiao's way of killing people is not to scare people at all, for Xie Yunqian, for the unborn child in Zhou Lihua's womb, he really did outrageous things!

No wonder Xie Yi was most worried about him when he was dying!
Half an hour later, Lu Chengfeng strode into the gate of the villa.

In the boundless night, the night wind suddenly blew up, and the surrounding mountains roared. Tang Nineteen and several guards of the Xie Mansion stood guard at the door. When Tang Nineteen saw that Thirteen brought Lu Chengfeng, he looked surprised: "You..."

Lu Chengfeng interrupted: "Is Xie Jiuxiao inside?"

"……exist."

Lu Chengfeng stepped into the house.

Xie Jiuxiao was sitting in the hall, and on the ground were Fan Shiyuan's wife and daughter. They were covered with a black cloth and their mouths were gagged. The little girl was held in the arms of the woman, and she couldn't help but flinch when she heard the movement.

Hearing the movement, he looked sideways.

Lu Chengfeng glanced at the terrified two people on the ground, and looked at Xie Jiuxiao.

His expression was very stern, exuding a hostility all over his body. His handsome face in the past was full of gloomyness, as if surrounded by heavy dark clouds, which seemed to overwhelm everything. He looked as cold as frost in the dark night. It was Lu Chengfeng, slightly surprised: "...Why are you here?"

Lu Chengfeng frowned unconsciously, and said in a harsh tone, "What are you going to do?"

Xie Jiuxiao clenched his hands into fists without moving his body: "...you go back!"

Lu Chengfeng raised his voice, "Thirteen!"

She only called Shisan, but Tang Nineteen followed her in, and two tall men stood behind her.

Lu Chengfeng said coldly: "Take him down!"

Thirteen quickly glanced at Xie Jiuxiao, and pushed Tang Shijiu bravely. As soon as the two stepped forward, Xie Jiuxiao's eyes swept over him coldly. Lu Chengfeng stopped him and said, "Go and prepare the carriage. Send people back to the house."

She said this with an innate majesty, not the majesty of a superior, but inexplicably obedient.

Xie Jiuxiao said: "No way!"

Shisan knew that it was powerful, so he pushed the two of them out at the risk of Xie Jiuxiao beheading him afterwards. After taking two steps, Xie Jiuxiao stepped forward with a cold face: "You two..."

Lu Chengfeng pushed him back to the seat, and Shisan took him out. Lu Chengfeng's eyes were burning with anger, she hadn't been so angry for a long time: "Why are you crazy!"

Xie Jiuxiao said: "I'm not crazy, I want the Chen family to retract their confession."

"Are you using this method to get the Chen family to retract the confession? You don't want to kill yourself? You threatened Fan Jie with Fan Shiyuan's wife and daughter, have you considered the consequences? Well? Take ten thousand steps back, Fan Jie was coerced by you, when the time comes After your elder brother came out of Dali Temple? People like Fan Jie will definitely bite you, and even he may be crazier than you, disregarding the lives of his daughter-in-law and granddaughter. At that time, not only your elder brother, but also you! Neither of you brothers can get away with it!"

Xie Jiuxiao smiled coldly and said, "So what?"

Lu Chengfeng cursed secretly, and a wave of irritability surged into her heart. Xie Jiuxiao was more serious than she was when she was a child. You will listen?"

Xie Jiuxiao was silent.

Lu Chengfeng stared at the person: "Those words were all lying to me before, right?"

"...No...No."

Lu Chengfeng persuasively said, "Then listen to me this time, okay?"

Xie Jiuxiao avoided her gaze and refused with difficulty: "Not good."

Lu Chengfeng: "..."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Xie Cen, I know that many things have happened in Xie's family during this period of time. You are very sad when Mr. Ge passed away, and you are anxious when your elder brother was framed. I understand, but you can't do this tonight. Old and cunning person, you are no match. Even if you really achieved your goal tonight, it will be dawn, and what will happen after dawn? After the Chen family retracted his confession, your eldest brother was released from prison, but you did such a thing tonight, kidnapping the family of a second-rank official... ...You will not be able to become an official for the rest of your life, leaving aside the fact that you will be sent to a place of bitter cold and imprisoned for life... If your eldest brother knows that he came out of Dali Temple like this, I think he would rather die in it!"

After a long silence, Xie Jiuxiao said: "I don't listen to these, I don't care."

Lu Chengfeng really wanted to pry his head open to see what was inside!He's only eighteen, right?How did you use such a fearless tone to say that you don't care and are not afraid of death?

Lu Chengfeng said, "Look at me."

Xie Jiuxiao remained motionless.

Lu Chengfeng sighed, and stood within his line of sight. She found helplessly that she couldn't stand by and watch Xie Jiuxiao's affairs.

The care that could not be given to Jinnian at the beginning has already been transferred to Xie Jiuxiao unconsciously.

Lu Chengfeng said: "...I will help you, I have a way to make Chen Shou retract his confession."
