Chapter 104 Do you dare to kill officials?

"If you have the guts, kill me. I won't tell you, and you'll never find it in your lifetime." Jiang Ning was defeated, so he just gave up and wanted to take half of the treasure with him to be buried.

"You!" Liu Yuan was furious, and was about to kick him again, but was stopped by Xu Qingcheng who was standing beside him.

"Stop kicking him. He's already dying. If he really dies, where can we get any information?"

Liu Yuan took a few deep breaths, threw his sleeves away, and became autistic.

Jiang Ning sneered and sat down on the ground, looking like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. No one could do anything to him.

Xihe took two steps forward and stopped five steps away from Jiang Ning. He asked curiously, "Uncle, how did you survive when you did something wrong?"

Xihe was talking about the prisoner exchange that year.

Jiang Ning's identity was discovered, and he knew that the group of people didn't dare to kill him because they didn't get the treasure, so he started to speak without restraint, "What else can I do? Find a scapegoat, who knows it's not me?"

"So that's how it is." Xihe acted as if he had suddenly realized something. "Then your father and mother must love you very much, to the point that they are willing to change people just for you."

"That's natural. My Jiang family has been a single-line family for three generations. I'm the only male with the surname Jiang in this generation. I'm their lifeblood." Jiang Ning said proudly.

"A male with the surname Jiang?" The little girl grinned and asked, "But uncle, your surname is not Jiang, your surname is... Ning. Jiang Ning from the Jiang family is dead."

Liu Yuan looked at the little girl not far away in shock and forgot to swallow the water in his mouth.

Maybe it was because the secret room was too empty, but Xihe's voice became more ethereal, echoing against the wall. Her words kept ringing in Jiang Ning's ears.

"Jiang Ning is dead?" The man slumped on the ground, repeating this sentence over and over again, his expression gradually becoming crazy, "The Jiang family has no descendants. I am not Jiang Ning, I am... Ning Jiang?"

"No! No! I'm not Ning Jiang! I'm Jiang Ning! I'm the only male in the Jiang family! I'm not Ning Jiang!"

Jiang Ning's struggle became more and more obvious, but he was tied tightly with ropes, and his whole body squirmed from side to side like a cricket.

Xihe squatted there without moving, and a childish voice slowly rang out, "Jiang Ning is dead, but will there be another Jiang Jiang in the Jiang family?"

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Jiang Ning, who had looked crazy just now, suddenly became quiet and stared at her in disbelief. Xihe smiled in return, then stepped back and went to eat the pastries that Zhao Chengning gave her, one bite at a time, like a little hamster.

Zhao Chengning pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "Jiang Ning, I don't care who you were before, and I don't care what your name is now. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of that batch of gold and silver, I can make a person named Jiang Jiang appear in Jiangnan, and let your Jiang family continue its incense."

Jiang Ning's face showed some hesitation, and he was already showing signs of loosening up. "Can you really help me?"

Zhao Chengning glanced at the other person calmly, immersed in the majesty of the officialdom, "Besides me, who else can you trust? Who has this ability?"

Liu Yuan does not have a suitable identity, Xu Qingcheng is Zhao Chengning's uncle, Xiao Mingxuan's identity is not suitable, and Xihe is Zhao Chengning's sister. Almost everyone here respects Zhao Chengning, and no one's words carry more weight than his.

Liu Yuan quietly approached Xihe and asked quietly, "Little guy, how did you know?"

"I just guessed randomly." Xihe smiled and lowered her head to continue eating the cake. Liu Yuan made a "tsk" sound and pinched the little girl's face, but he didn't use much force, "You are just talking nonsense."

He finally discovered that when the little girl was trying to hide her shortcomings, she would talk nonsense in a serious manner, but you knew she was talking nonsense and there was nothing you could do about it.

The Shenwu Guards brought enough food when they came. Xihe ate a lot before she felt full. She swallowed the last bite, patted the crumbs on her hands, and then took a bite of the hand that Liu Yuan extended.

"Ouch!" Liu Yuan had no time to react and was bitten hard by the little girl.

He looked at the smiling little girl opposite him in disbelief, "Little guy, are you born in the year of the dog? Why are you biting people?"

There were two glaring teeth marks on Liu Yuan's wrist.

The little girl smiled brightly, "I've wanted to do this for a long time! It's your fault for always confronting me!"

Xihe is not the kind of person who will tolerate being wronged. She will avenge herself when there is a grievance and revenge when there is a grudge. Even if a night has passed, she will make up for the grievance.

Liu Yuan almost laughed out of anger. Unable to argue with the little one, he turned around and bullied the other kid, "Xiao Mingxuan, how can you control this girl? Which girl is as fierce as her? She's so fierce!"

Xiao Mingxuan raised his eyes to glance at the tooth mark, took a bite of the shortbread, and said lightly: "I think it's pretty good, not fierce, you deserve it!"

"Little brother~" The little girl leaned on Xiao Mingxuan's arm with a satisfied look on her face and smiled provocatively at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan took a deep breath, wanting to laugh but unable to, "You two are really something, one of you kills people, the other sets fires. One wants to climb the wall, and the other dares to hand you a ladder."

Xihe and Xiao Mingxuan smiled at each other, leaving Liu Yuan alone in the corner.

"I never want to come back to this damn place in my lifetime." Liu Yuan sighed, as if all his energy had been drained away.

"You think too much." Xiao Mingxuan said lightly.

"Little brat, what are you doing? What's so good about this damn place? If I don't come, are you going to tie me up and bring me here?" As the little brat grew up, he was not as easy to coax as he was when he was young. He would say something to him from time to time. Once Liu Yuan's stubborn temper came out, he was bound to teach the little brat what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young.

Xiao Mingxuan mercilessly shattered Liu Yuan's dream. "There is a secret room under Dafeng Village, which is full of bones. I guess they are some of the people that Jiang Ning secretly dealt with for Jiang Zhongguo over the years. I took a casual look and found that some of the bones were wearing official uniforms."

Liu Yuan's face changed drastically. "He dared to kill officials in private?"

"He even dared to detain you, so what else could he not dare to do?" Xiao Mingxuan thought of the several documents scattered in a corner of the secret room at that time, and said, "I guess it's the same method used on you, but I don't know who was quietly replaced. Go and check it yourself."

The disappearance of most of the officials would inevitably arouse the vigilance of the imperial city. I think the only option is to use the same old method again. Unfortunately, it has been a long time and some things are difficult to investigate.

Liu Yuan didn't respond. Instead, he looked carefully at the kid in front of him. His burning gaze was impossible to ignore.

"Why are you staring at me? Don't expect me to help you. Don't forget that I am the prince of Beili." Xiao Mingxuan glanced at him indifferently and looked away, but he felt a little more annoyed in his heart.

He was really too idle to care about these things. It had nothing to do with him how many Tianshuo officials had died. Why would he bother saying anything about it?
