After making a lifelong promise to the villain, his vest exploded

Chapter 36: Leading the Snake out of the Cave 1
After listening to Yin Xi's suggestion, Xia Nianwan ran out quickly and came back from nowhere with a large piece of ice in her arms.Then he asked Xia Sheng to wrap Chen Wan in a handkerchief and apply ice to it. Seeing the fragile and pitiful appearance of the person in his arms, Xia Sheng glared at Yulan and angrily yelled, "Get out of there yet!"

Yu Lan reluctantly bit her lip and turned around to leave.

After the incident, Xia Sheng looked at Chen Wan's swollen hands and stamped her feet anxiously. Xia Nianwan was also so anxious that she didn't even eat and lay on her mother's lap without moving.On the other hand, Chen Wan, the injured person, endured the pain, coaxed her husband to calm down, and persuaded her daughter to eat obediently.

Funny but full of heartwarming.

But the warm atmosphere was soon interrupted by Yin Guizhou. He turned towards the door and shouted: "Who is there?"

This caused Xia Sheng and others to look up at the door:

He saw a man dressed like a waiter appearing outside the door with his head and tail shrunken. Being stared at by so many people, he said timidly: "Master Xia, please excuse me."

"Why are you still here and not leaving?" Xia Sheng asked in a gentler tone.

The waiter said nervously: "Zhang Er, who came to deliver food yesterday, hasn't come back yet. I don't know if he is still in your house..."

Zhang Er was the waiter who delivered lunch to Chen Wan and others at noon yesterday. Chen Wan heard this and said in confusion: "He left after helping us put the food on the table yesterday and was not in Xia Mansion."

"Then, it might be somewhere else. I'll go back and tell the shopkeeper."

"Walk slowly." Xia Sheng said.

Yin Xi secretly asked Yin Guizhou: "How did you find out there was someone outside?"

Yin Guizhou said softly: "He hasn't left since he delivered the meal."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Isn't this the time to eat?" Yin Guizhou began to speak in an off-key manner again, causing Yin Xi to roll his eyes.

But the few people didn't live in peace for long, the guard in front of the door hurriedly came to Xia Sheng to report that someone from the government was coming to investigate the case.

"Investigation? What are you investigating in my house?" Xia Sheng frowned, and then he told Chen Wan to stay in the house with his daughter and not go out, and he followed the guards to the door to check.

When Yin Xi and Yin Guizhou saw this, they followed him out.

Several people rushed to the door and found two groups of people standing in a stalemate with their swords drawn and crossbows drawn.

The group of guards hired by Xia Sheng with money saw Xia Sheng coming and quickly told him the general story of the matter.

Yin Xi got a general idea: It turns out that Zhang Er is the nephew of the shopkeeper of Fengxian Tower, but he has never come back since he went to Xia Mansion to deliver a meal yesterday, and he has not been found yet.The shopkeeper sent someone to the Xia Mansion without asking for the result, so he reported the case in a hurry.

The government officials believed that the person last appeared in the Xia Mansion, and they should send people to check the entire Xia Mansion until traces of Zhang Er were found.

But no head of a family would tolerate outsiders turning his home upside down for no reason, especially if it would scare his delicate wife and daughter.

Xia Sheng said angrily to the leading official: "Without any evidence, why do you think that Zhang Er is in my Xia Mansion?" The official's brother was also a businessman, and Xia Sheng took advantage of him in business. , so he had long warned his younger brother, who was working in the government, that once he found out something happened in the Xia Mansion, his family must be turned upside down.

Therefore, the official's attitude was also very tough, and he would have people go in and conduct a search no matter what.

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder between the two groups was getting stronger and stronger, and when Yin Xi secretly thought that something was wrong, Duan Jing's voice came from behind the official: "There are many people missing in this town. According to what you said, isn't this town? Are all the people who have been lost in the past few years in the Xia Mansion?"

Everyone moved their bodies to make way for Duan Jing, and Duan Wei pushed Duan Jing forward.

Duan Jing continued: "How big is the Xia Mansion in total? It can hide so many people in it. I am not afraid of being laughed at by people with brains when I say this." As he spoke, he pointed to his own with a gentle smile. head.

As soon as these words came out, the officials couldn't help but argued: "If you are not guilty of being a thief, why don't you let us go in and search." Duan Jing took advantage of the situation and continued: "According to what you say, there is no problem in your family. Why don’t you search your home first?”

"Why are you searching my house? No one is missing in my house." The official said impatiently.

At this time, Yin Guizhou followed Duan Jing's words and said: "It wasn't you who did it, so what happened to your house? You didn't lose, so maybe you have a guilty conscience?"

"You, you guys..." The official has been working as an errand for several years, and he has never seen the two of them singing in harmony like this. They were both clever and unreasonable. He pointed angrily at Duan Jing's nose and said "you" angrily for a long time. , and you didn’t come up with anything.

In the end, under the threat of force from the guards invited by Xia Sheng, the official had no choice but to leave with his men and angrily.

After calming down his anger, Xia Sheng looked at Duan Jing and Duan Jing and thanked them: "Thank you brother for your help. Who are you two?"

Duan Jing took advantage of the situation and replied: "Duan Jing, this is my cousin Duan Wei, and we are Yin Xi's fellow seniors."

"Yes, yes, these are my senior brother and junior sister." Yin Xi also agreed.

Upon hearing this, Xia Sheng became obviously more enthusiastic and quickly invited the two of them into the house as guests.

Duan Jing just made a few excuses, but couldn't bear Xia Sheng's excessive enthusiasm, so she had no choice but to follow him in.

As they walked, Duan Jing and Yin Xi did not speak, but silently nodded and smiled at each other behind Xia Sheng's back.

Arriving in the hall, Chen Wan walked forward worriedly and asked, "Brother Sheng, are you okay? What happened just now?"

Xia Sheng simply condensed the whole story into a few sentences, and did not say anything about the difficulties the officials had just made. Even so, Chen Wan still felt worried.

Then she noticed Duan Jing and Duan Wei following behind her, and asked curiously: "These two are..."

Xia Sheng explained with a smile: "These are two fellow disciples of the two little immortals. It is our honor to come to our house as guests." After that, he asked Duan Jing and others to sit down.

After a few polite words, Xia Sheng invited Duan Jing and Duan Jing to stay at his house temporarily as he did to Yin Xi and Yin Xi, but Duan Jing declined because he had important matters.

Duan Jing explained: "Thank you for your kindness, head of the family, but I came here this time to complete the task assigned by the sect."

Xia Sheng asked curiously: "What mission?"

Duan Jing did not hide anything, and continued: "It is said that there are monsters harming people in the town, so the sect sent disciples to investigate and capture the monsters on the way."

After hearing this, Xia Sheng asked again: "Are you two the only ones here?"

Duan Jing shook his head and said: "It's just that I arrived early, and the remaining elders are still on the way. They will probably arrive tomorrow."

"This, so fast?" Xia Sheng seemed surprised.

Then he questioned: "Can those elders subdue this monster?" After saying that, Xia Sheng felt that his words were a bit rude, and hurriedly added: "What I mean is that this monster dares to harm people in broad daylight, so he must have some skills. Just in case it is highly cultivated."

Duan Jing didn't seem to think much, and told Xia Sheng all the elders' plans: "Master, don't worry, the elders of the sect have got a new magic weapon. It is said that it can suppress or even seal the magic power of demons. This will make it easier to deal with that thing." many."

Xia Sheng still continued to ask: "What magic weapon?"

"Ahem... Patriarch, I have no comment on this issue." Duan Jing promptly interrupted Xia Sheng's question.
