Xu Rui's words left Xu Jiang speechless.

After a while, he took a breath and suddenly said: "That's all, no matter what, she is my General Xu's daughter and the lady of my Duke Chengguo's mansion!"

Could my daughter still harm them?
"Okay, you should go to sleep too! Don't be an eyesore here!"

"Dad, I don't want you to be like this! I was a big boy at the border. When I came back and my daughter was with me, I started to dislike my son?"

Xu Jiang said confidently, "I haven't seen your two sisters for a long time. Isn't it normal to be curious?"

Xu Rui couldn't refute this. Not only did his father care about it, he, the eldest brother, also cared about it.

Both father and son seemed to have forgotten that they had a younger son and a younger brother.

A team of people brought back by General Xu counted the things in the bandit's den overnight. They did find a lot of property and some account books, but they didn't seem to be of much value.

"General, could this actually be an ordinary bandit?" The person who spoke was a deputy general next to General Xu, who also returned to Beijing this time.Other than that, they are all his soldiers and loyal to him.

Before Xu Jiang could speak, Xu Muhua jumped out and said, "Uncle Zhang, these are just small things you found. The really important and key things are still hidden!"

What Uncle Zhang found was the so-called ledger. The real ledger was not in Brother Xiao's room.

"What do you think, Miss?"

Xu Muhua waved his hand hurriedly, "Gao Jian doesn't dare to say anything, I just know something."

Uncle Zhang looked at her suspiciously.I don't know if he is doubting what she said or whether he is doubting her as a person.

The eldest lady's performance this time was really unexpected.

He remembered that the eldest lady in the past was not like this.

Xu Muhua said without changing his expression: "I just interrogated Brother Xiao. He was tough-talking, but his brothers were not. One of them revealed that Brother Xiao likes to hide important things in unexpected places. , that’s where those women were imprisoned.”

"Brother Xiao's favorite woman recently is called Xingzi. She is the most beautiful among these women. She also has a separate room. Brother Xiao hides important things in Xingzi's room."

Uncle Zhang said: "But our people have carefully searched the room above and found nothing suspicious."

Xu Jiang said: "Since Mu Hua said so, let's go and have a look in that room. Maybe there is some secret room or secret passage."

Xu Rui: "Call the woman named Xingzi over and ask her if she knows anything."

Of course Kyoko didn't know that. She was not bad looking, but she was originally just a farm girl.Once, Brother Xiao took someone out to do some errands. When they passed by Xingzi's village, Xingzi happened to be washing clothes by the river. As a result, Brother Xiao took a fancy to him and snatched him back immediately!
She hated Brother Xiao to death and was scared to death. Every time Brother Xiao came to her room, she would tremble with fear. She had to hold back her nausea and serve her, and she could only think of the good things in the past, otherwise she would not be able to do it at all. no way.Where is the thought to pay attention to what Brother Xiao did?She didn't care at all what Brother Xiao did!

Seeing Xingzi gnashing her teeth with hatred and getting excited when she mentioned Brother Xiao, General Xu couldn't bear to ask any more questions and sent people back.

Finally, everyone arrived at Xingzi's room and spread out to search, including Xu Muhua.She pretended to rummage through it before arriving at the location her badger brother had told her to be.

Although this location is not considered hidden, it is often ignored by people.Because this location is really... for a chamber pot!Just take the chamber pot away and pry open the floor where the chamber pot is placed to see it. "There's something going on here!" Xu Muhua suddenly called out.

Xu Jiang took the lead and walked over in a big step.

Xu Muhua pointed to the floor where the chamber pot was placed and said, "Dad, I think there is something wrong with the floor. It seems empty when you step on it."

Without General Xu's orders, some soldiers squatted down and pried open the floor, and sure enough they found a box hidden under the floor!
"Wow! It's really there! Found it, this must be the important thing that Brother Xiao has hidden! Dad, please open it quickly and see what's inside!"

General Xu took the box and opened it in front of everyone. There were indeed several account books and a seal inside.He picked up the seal and found that there were no words on it, but there was a pattern, which looked like some kind of flower. He couldn't tell what kind of flower it was for a while.

After reading the seal, he picked up the book again, flipped through it, and his face suddenly darkened. Finally, he snorted heavily and threw the book back into the box, "Put it away and we'll talk about it when we get back!"

Although they didn't know what was recorded in the booklet, everyone knew from the look on his face that the content inside must be very irritating.

"Dad, when are we going back to the capital?" Xu Muhua asked as he followed Xu General.

Xu Jiang stopped and thought for a while and said: "I have already obtained the account book, and there is no value in staying here any longer. Now pack up and leave!"

The sooner you return to Beijing, the sooner you can deal with these matters earlier. If it takes too long, if the people who are colluding know about it, they will definitely find a way to get out.

"Rui'er, you stay here to clean up the mess. I'll take some people and your sister back to the capital first." After Xu Jiang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Muhua and asked, "Is it going to be dangerous for your elder brother to stay here to clean up the mess?"

Xu Muhua shook his head reflexively, "No."

After saying that, he looked at him with a confused look on his face and asked with his eyes, why did he ask her? She didn’t know!
Xu Jiang snorted and said nothing.

My daughter must be hiding something from me!

"Dad, let me stay with my eldest brother. I'm not worried about my eldest brother being alone!"

Xu Rui: ...

Why is she worried? She still remembers that she is the sister and he is the eldest brother?Remember how powerful he was in martial arts, but she was powerless?

"No! You come back to Beijing with me!"

"Dad! Just let me stay with my elder brother. Besides, you see, there are many women among the people who were rescued. There are no women in the soldiers you brought back, whether it is your elder brother or my father. This is inconvenient!" It will be different if I stay here. If anything happens, I can help!"

When Xu Rui heard this, he thought about it seriously and felt that it made sense.

There are many women among the rescued people, and they are all men. It is indeed inconvenient to contact them, and they are also easy to cause trouble.

It's not that Xu Rui has a dark psychology and thinks too bad of people, but that these people have experienced the darkest darkness, and now they have returned to the light. It is human nature to be greedy for the light.If anyone can't think about it for a moment and entangles them and wants to retaliate, it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble.
