After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 309 What Happened to Xie Yuchuan
In fact, with the family god by his side, Xie Yuchuan's heart is not as calm and confident as he appears to be on the surface.

But the way he calmly drank tea and waited for an answer, in the eyes of Xiong Jiushan on the opposite side, clearly showed that Xie Yuchuan was "fearless" because he had a backer behind him.

He was unable to come up with a correct answer for a moment, so he lowered his head and picked up the tea beside him to moisten his throat, thinking for a while and giving himself some time.

In the quiet house, the noise outside seems particularly clear.

Xiong Jiushan looked at the tea leaves floating in the teacup and pondered for a long time.

Xie Yuchuan didn't urge him, and Tu Huan was hiding beside him, so she wouldn't scare him like she did just now.

She and Xie Yuchuan were close to each other, which made it convenient for them to talk.

"What is Xiong Jiushan worried about?" Tu Huan asked while fanning herself to keep warm.

Xie Yuchuan heard the question in his ear and didn't want to disturb Xiong Jiushan's thoughts, so he concentrated and responded to the family god.

"He's worried about getting into trouble."

"Oh, you're not wrong to be worried." Tu Huan said.

"Yes, everyone has the desire to protect themselves, and I can understand that." He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then pondered for a moment, "But he forgot one step. He escorted my Xie family on the road. Whether they reach Liaozhou or not, they will be guilty whether they live or die. They are guilty anyway, so why worry so much? If he doesn't take advantage of the ready-made opportunity to grab the handle, he won't have to worry about others taking action later."

Upon hearing this, Tu Huan couldn't help but look sideways at the person she had been protecting all the way: Comrade Xie Yuchuan.

What did she say about him just now?

He's not a good person.

She said her intuition has always been very sharp.

"Does the bandit have a backer?"

"If there were no umbrellas to protect the sky, how could the villains be so rampant?" Xie Yuchuan replied calmly.

Tu Huan fanned him twice, hummed, and comforted him, "It's okay, you have someone to back you up, don't be afraid."

The fingers holding the cup paused slightly, and a hint of warmth appeared in Xie Yuchuan's eyes. He felt that his own god was really... straightforward.

Yes, Xie Yuchuan does have someone to rely on now.

After a long silence, Tu Huan glanced at him in surprise.

I don’t know if it’s my illusion, but I always feel that Xie Yuchuan’s calm and peaceful eyes seem to be smiling.

The two saw the solemn look on Xiong Jiushan's face, which remained silent for a long time, so Tu Huan couldn't help but chat with him about other things.

"How's the telescope?"

"The family god is asking, clairvoyance?"

"Ah."

"Two armies facing each other, with magical weapons, I like them very much." Xie Yuchuan answered truthfully.

This is true without any discount. Not only did he love the telescope given to him by the family god, but even Han Qiguang, who had traveled far and wide and was knowledgeable, insisted on taking one away, which shows how much he liked it.

Tu Huan nodded, "As long as you like it, that one is simple and easy to operate, and very suitable for your current era."

"Simple?" Someone quickly grasped the key point of the house god's words and asked curiously, "Is it something more complicated?" As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and hurriedly said, "Don't blame me, house god. I was just curious and spoke without restraint."

Tu Huan smiled softly and said, "It's okay, you're just curious."

Xie Yuchuan felt warmed at heart after hearing this.

The house god is so nice.

Tu Huan gently waved her fan and whispered, "There are more complex ones, which can observe farther places and can see at night. I don't have a higher magnification one yet, but I'll give it to you to play with when I get one."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchuan hurriedly said, "The house god doesn't have to worry. Yuheng just said something a little too much. I don't want the house god to worry about this."

Xie Yuchuan couldn't see the household god, but he could roughly determine where the household god was. In a hurry, he suddenly turned around and spoke, startling Xiong Jiushan who was still hesitating on the opposite side.

Xiong Jiushan looked up and stared at him. Seeing that he was facing left with an anxious look on his face, his eyes narrowed and he felt puzzled.

what happened?
Is the god unhappy?
Obviously, there were only him and Xie Yuchuan in the room, but Xiong Jiushan couldn't get rid of the feeling that there were more than just the two of them in the room.

Just as he thought, it seemed that the whole room was filled with gods, except for where he and Xie Yuchuan were sitting!

Xie Yuchuan restrained his expression, turned to Xiong Jiushan, and calmed himself down.

"Master Xiong, have you thought it through?"

In one sentence, the blame for the previous loss of composure was completely transferred to Xiong Jiushan.

Xiong Jiushan frowned and thought for a while, "To suppress bandits, we must have a legitimate reason, and the arrested personnel must not interfere with local affairs. This is the law."

"The notice has been posted in the Yucheng government office for several months. The wanted document has been posted and torn up again and again. This matter has even affected the counties of the Jingwei Prefecture. Lord Xiong should not have forgotten what Wang Chong was thinking."

"It is precisely because the local garrisons dare not act rashly, so it is better to avoid them than to suppress them. The local habits are so deep that it is difficult to change. You are just a fugitive. It is difficult to protect your own safety. Your ambition may cause trouble. I am only a fifth-rank official, and it is just a nominal title. General Xie has been in the army for many years, and you should know that the nominal positions in the army are really not worth mentioning. Xiong has a heavy responsibility under his command. In the twelfth month, he must take all the fugitives to Laozhou for assignment. It is really risky. How can I help you?"

Changing the subject, Xiong Jiushan began to persuade Xie Yuchuan.

"In my humble opinion, it would be safer for the general to bring people to help us escort the officers and soldiers across the border safely. No matter how rampant the bandits are, they will always be afraid of robbing the government. Moreover, I have ordered people in the city to prepare self-defense equipment. If the general can put aside past grudges and help, there will be other people among the prisoners who will respond. In this way, the weak will be few and the strong will be strong. With concerted efforts, I think it will not be difficult to cross the mountain safely."

"As for the bribe, in order to sacrifice a small amount for the greater good, I have also secretly prepared some for this matter. I will just see how the situation is at that time and act accordingly."

After saying that, Xiong Jiushan took a deep breath and looked at Xie Yuchuan with a profound gaze.

"Thank you, General. Allow me to say one more thing. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. When you are in bad luck, why not hide in the deep sea? When the luck turns good in the future, there is no need to worry about not having the opportunity to fly to meet you, my Lord."

"Gathering people secretly is as bad as committing the crime of the evildoers!"

Xiong Jiushan had been holding back these words for many days and had wanted to say them for a long time. He did not want to say it today, but the Xie family was present, so he wanted to talk about the seriousness of the matter in front of the Xie family's gods.

After all, gods do not care about worldly affairs, and do not know about human affairs, conflicts of interest, and complex issues that cannot be resolved in a momentary mood.

The Qinglong Village in the entire Panlongling Mountains has gathered bandits from various mountains. There are more than a thousand extremely vicious people. He has sent people to inquire around the city. The number is nearly ten times theirs. It is impossible for them to solve it head-on.

Besides, he had inquired about it. The prefect of Qingzhou has always been careful about his life. As an official, he does not seek to make achievements but to avoid mistakes. Bandits are rampant, so as long as the matter is not exposed to the sky, there is no need for him to suppress them personally.

He also didn't know what had possessed Xie Yuchuan that made him insist on destroying the thieves' den in this place.
