Chapter 128

Even though he knew that there would be no good end for gathering crowds to make trouble and rushing into the government office, but watching people die in front of his eyes, the victims in the courtyard were still a little bit numb, watching them stupidly, they didn't know what to do for a while.But Zhou Qingniu came to his senses at this moment, seeing his brother lying in a pool of blood, his eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled desperately.

Qin Xiao pressed the poisonous dart in his hand even tighter, stared at the people in the courtyard, and said grimly: "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will stop by the porridge shed tomorrow, and one by one will starve to death. I want to see Well, if the disaster victims in the city know that they have no porridge to drink because of your troubles, will they tear you apart and cook soup for you!"

If this is not a threat, what else is a threat?Jin Xi's back felt cold, for fear that the group of desperate victims in front of him would be provoked to revolt by Qin Xiao's words.Unexpectedly, these people suddenly lost their fighting spirit like eggplants beaten by frost.If they dare to make trouble, they are backed by public opinion. If there is a way and the law does not blame the public, the government will not cut off hundreds of thousands of people.

But being hated by the common people, they really have no place to die.After all, how to live in the past is a matter of the future, the most important thing now is to have a mouthful of porridge to keep alive!

Looking at the faces of the crowd, Jin Xi suddenly wanted to understand why Qin Xiao said that, and secretly admired him for his courage.One sang the red face, the other was about to sing the bad face, immediately took over the conversation and said: "Get out first, I guarantee that your elder brother will be fine. I will only ask him a few words, and then let him go back."

Qin Xiao cast her a glance, and silently agreed to her promise.Everyone glanced at each other before slowly backing away.

Zhou Qingniu watched with a cold face as everyone retreated from Hexiangwu's courtyard little by little, but he stopped resisting.When the last person left, he turned his face and raised his head to look at Qin Xiao without any fear.

"It's a tough one!" Qin Xiao chuckled, reached out and took out the cloth towel from his mouth, the smile disappeared suddenly, and he shouted coldly: "Tell me, who ordered you to make trouble?"

Zhou Qingniu gasped twice with his mouth open, his neck was stiff, and he said angrily: "The government forced the people to rebel, and no one ordered me. You can kill or cut people casually, don't expect me to bite people for you."

"It's fine if you don't say anything! Turn around and go to the Navy Yamen to go to Yanzi Island to wipe out your iron boat gang's lair, and execute them regardless of age. Do you think these people died unjustly?" Come over and sit on a chair opposite Zhou Qingniu with Erlang's legs crossed. Before speaking, he didn't forget to ask Jinxi to make tea for him.

Zhou Qingniu seemed to have been whipped, his eyes almost popped out. "How do you know..." The words changed suddenly, "What else do you know? Who are you?"

This question was also what Jin Xi wanted to ask. She looked at Qin Xiao steadily while holding the tea, and suddenly felt that the impatient young man in front of her was very strange.The things he did repeatedly were completely different from his impression.The behavior that looks like a child's mischief hides a deep meaning that other people can't see through.

"You want to die of thirst?" Qin Xiao waited for a long time before the tea came, and yelled at Jin Xi in dissatisfaction. Seeing that Jin Xi made the tea with a low eyebrow and handed it over, the temperature was suitable and the aroma was fragrant, and his eyes couldn't help being proud stand up.While sipping tea carefully, he looked at Zhou Qingniu and said with a smile: "Who is the young master, you are not worthy to ask. What else does the young master know, and you are not worthy to ask."

Jin Xi exclaimed secretly, isn't it the same as if you didn't say what you said?Zhou Qingniu also rolled his eyes angrily, only to hear Qin Xiao continue: "As long as you tell the young master who was instigated to break into the mansion, and who told you that the mansion warehouse is out of food, the young master will give you money." You have a chance to survive. You can also help your sister clear her grievances. Ming people don’t speak dark words, we all know that your sister didn’t accidentally drown, but with your strength, you can’t beat the Anyang Marquis Mansion at all! How about it? Let’s have a good time. Master’s patience is limited!"

Zhou Qingniu stared at Qin Xiao like a ghost, the astonishment on his face gradually turned into fear.Jin Xi understands his feelings very well at this time, it is hard for anyone to accept the secret that is hidden in the bottom of his heart by someone who has nothing to do with it.What's more, Qin Xiao's few words also involved water pirates and the Marquis of Anyang. Hundreds of lives were swirling around his tongue, and no one could calm down.

Without giving Zhou Qingniu time to think about it, Qin Xiao raised the tea bowl and said, "I'll finish this cup of tea. If you haven't made up your mind yet, I'll treat you as stubborn to the end! Anyway, Zhou Cao'er is not my sister, die!" Whether I am wronged or not is none of my business!"

"Can you really avenge my sister?" Zhou Qingniu was a little hesitant, with a bit of expectation under his distrustful expression.

Qin Xiao refused to answer directly, the uncle was full of airs, "Believe it or not!"

Jin Xi stared at the sky speechlessly, really didn't know Mr. Yun Zong's talk about tongue discrimination, Qin Xiao listened to it a few times, how could he win people's hearts like this?But Zhou Qingniu just followed him, frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly stomped his feet, "Okay, I'll just you and you. The lack of food in the warehouse is caused by Qian Zhong, the housekeeper of Anyang Marquis Mansion, and me. Yes, he also said, as long as I can get the magistrate to admit that he was the one who lost money, he will tell me who killed my sister!"

Anyang Marquis Mansion?A maid surnamed Zhou?The scattered information suddenly gathered into a net in Jinxi's mind, and slowly something seemed to surface, and he couldn't help blurting out, "When I went to Anyang Houfu, the little girl who led me the way was your sister?"

This belated fool!Qin Xiao glanced at her, with a hidden smile in his eyes, but cursed: "When a man talks, don't interrupt!"

Jin Xi didn't come up in one breath, and almost fainted, what do you mean when a man talks, she shouldn't interrupt?This is her territory, Zhou Qingniu was invited in by her, okay?Out of anger, she didn't act impulsively to turn against Qin Xiao on the spot, but gritted her teeth in secret. Since he said that, there must be his intentions. Let's see, if there is no other purpose, it's just embarrassing her, and he will never be spared. .

Not to mention how Jinxi was planning, Zhou Qingniu was stunned, in his eyes Jinxi was already a high-ranking noble lady, but Qin Xiao shouted at her like a servant girl. Isn't his status richer?It seems that when he said that he could avenge Cao'er, he was not lying to him.

His trust in Qin Xiao deepened a bit, and he took the initiative to say: "Zhou Cao'er is my only sister. Back then, I was not at home when I was walking with master, and my father gambled a lot. It was sold to the Marquis, and he even lied to me that my sister died of a sudden illness. I finally found out the whereabouts of my sister, and in order to redeem her, I had to join the Iron Boat Gang, but I didn't expect..."

After sobbing for a while, he suddenly looked up at Jinxi, "But I have never done anything harmful to nature, and the Iron Boat Gang is not the water thieves who rob houses as rumored outside, we just rob those merchant ships with black conscience. Mr. Zhifu is on his way to take office. We really didn’t do the hijacking. We..." Hesitating for a while, he didn’t have the guts or the ability to rob an official ship, but he didn’t have the nerve to say it.

This was the same as what Jin Feng and Zhao Tingxuan said, Jin Xi nodded lightly, with the lesson just now, it is not easy to rush to express his opinion.He just glanced at Qin Xiao, and heard him say slowly: "I know you didn't do it, what kind of iron boat gang, there are only a few fast boats with more than ten people, and they dare to call themselves iron boats with two rotten sails? If you want to rob a big boat of ten people, you have to be able to do it!"

Zhou Qingniu blushed like a monkey's ass, but he had to admire Qin Xiao's sharpness. He didn't expect him to check the details of the Iron Boat Gang so clearly, and it's not wrong to fall into his hands today.

Qin Xiao was not in the mood to discuss the iron boat gang with him, "How much do you know about the murder of Miss Zhou by the Marquis of Anyang? Don't let the young master ask, tell me quickly!"

"The night before my sister died, someone sent me a letter, asking me to try to take her away. But I happened to be out of the city at the time, and when I knew the letter..." Zhou Qingniu suddenly burst into tears, although the man couldn't help crying. Flick, but not to the heartbreak.Jin Xi understood his remorse and guilt at this moment, twisted a cloth towel and handed it to him, only then remembered that his hands were still tied.

Qin Xiao snorted, disliked Jin Xi's meddling, but took the cloth towel and wiped it on Zhou Qingniu's face indiscriminately, scolding: "Are you a man? If you have something to talk about, what are you crying about!"

After being scolded by him, Zhou Qingniu cheered up and vomited out everything he knew like peas in a bamboo tube.Qin Xiao looked smug as if something had been confirmed, but Jin Xi was confused. Lily and Anyang Marquis Prince Su Heping were confused, she had already thought of this.The old lady intentionally gave the lily to Su Heping, wouldn't that matter to that aunt named Liuli?
According to Zhou Cao'er's letter to Zhou Qingniu before he died, Lily had been drawing flowers for Liuli on the day of her death, and she had lunch with Liuli at noon, and they ate dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse.If it was just a coincidence, then Zhou Caoer, who was waiting for Liuli at the door when Qian Zhong was there, was temporarily arranged to bring her into the mansion at the gate of the courtyard, and then handed her over to Lily in a blink of an eye, and then something like that happened again, why? It is not a coincidence that the word can explain the past.

After thinking about it, Aunt Liuli, who has never shown up in this matter, is actually a key person.She suddenly remembered that when Hehuan asked her to join her business to resell grain, she vaguely mentioned the name Liuli. From this, it can be seen that this Liuli was not only related to Lily's death, but also related to the Anyang chaos.

Qin Xiao asked a few more questions, seeing that Zhou Qingniu knew that, although he was violent, he was just a gun being used by others.Then he took a dagger and cut Zhou Qingniu's belt, and waved him away.Zhou Qingniu's eyes widened, "You just let me go?"

"What's the matter, you still want the young master to take care of your meal?" Qin Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked contemptuous, as if Zhou Qingniu wanted to take advantage of him.

Zhou Qingniu was stunned for a while, neither leaving nor staying.Jin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only tell him to go down the steps, "It's over for gathering a crowd to make trouble, and Mr. Qin will definitely fulfill what he promised you. If you don't worry, take a few trustworthy brothers to porridge these days." shed to help."

"You'd sell my food for favors!" Zhou Qingniu breathed a sigh of relief, and after he left, Qin Xiao gave Jinxi a dissatisfied look.Jin Xi had other plans, "I see that although this man doesn't have much scheming, he is upright. He has many brothers under his command and is a bit skilled. Why don't you take him in. Anyway, you can afford him. What if Use it for a day."

Qin Xiao gave Jin Xi a meaningful look. Although he didn't like Zhou Qingniu's material, what Jin Xi said was really for his sake.Thinking of this, she suddenly couldn't help grinning happily, and Jin Xi was startled by the sudden expression.

Before she came back to her senses, Qin Xiao came over and said in a low voice: "There is an important matter that requires you to come forward!"
