Aspirations

Chapter 173
Xiao Wu's eyes widened immediately, with a greedy look on his face: "Ten catties of gold? My dear, it's real or not. Don't lie to me. Although I don't study much, I have good martial arts."

"I dare not lie to anyone." Li Xiaosi was delighted when he saw Xiao Wu's plan, secretly thinking that the gold and silver treasures he had previously hidden could save his life at critical times, and his thoughts were not in vain. He scooped up a ladle of water in the tank, rinsed his urine, looked around again, and only when he confirmed that no one was coming, he plunged into the water tank.

Xiao Wu was taken aback, thinking that Li Xiaosi was about to commit suicide because he couldn't think about it. The water tank was as tall as a person, and it was filled with water, which was placed in the hut to wash and defecate.The water in the tank is mostly rainwater and dirty water, which has been stank for a long time.He stretched out his hand to pull Li Xiaosi, and as soon as he moved his head to the side of the water tank, he was so smoked that he almost passed out.

"It's so fucking stinky." Xiao Wu suppressed his nausea, closed his eyes, and reached out to catch Li Xiaosi. As soon as his hands entered the water, Li Xiaosi jumped out of the water tank with a splash.

Li Xiaosi, who was smelly all over, was carrying a package in his hand, which was tightly wrapped with three layers inside and three layers outside.With a proud face, he opened the package, revealing several ingots of gold, jade bracelets, and jewelry inside.

"How about it, Xiao Dutou, the gold belongs to you, and the rest belongs to me. If you let me go, just say that you were accidentally slipped away by me. Anyway, you are Xia Xianzun's former celebrity, and he will not blame you. You." Li Xiaosi thought that Xiao Wu must have never seen so much gold, so he must be open to money.

Xiao Wu grabbed a piece of gold and wanted to put it in his mouth to take a bite, but it was too smelly to swallow, so he had no choice but to give up: "Li Xiaosi, you really have a way of hiding gold and silver treasures in the water tank in the hut, no one can think of it. Alright, I'll take the gold, you take the treasure, and we'll split up the spoils. But I don't understand something, so I need to ask you clearly."

Seeing that there was hope of escape, Li Xiaosi immediately beamed with joy: "Just ask Xiao Dutou, I will tell you everything."

"Where did you steal this gold and silver treasure?" Xiao Wu chuckled, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "I want to steal some more after you leave."

It turned out that greed was insufficient, Li Xiaosi lowered his voice and pretended to be mysterious and said: "To tell you the truth, Xiao Dutou, Liu Changting, Xie Huagai, Li Chi, and Zheng Mingrui have a common underground bank. The business of horses, leather and iron ore is a profitable business. The gold and silver treasures earned are all stored in one place. Hehe, if you let me go, I will tell you where the treasures are piled up. I will take the sheep I took a little bit, but no one noticed. Alas, I was too timid at the time, if I was brave enough, no one would know if I took ten times more."

Xiao Wu was overjoyed, and jumped up: "I know where it is, the underground bank is just under the high hill outside the village."

"Fart, no, there is a tomb under the Gaogang." Li Xiaosi rolled his eyes at Xiao Wu, "The underground bank is in a particularly conspicuous place in the village. No one will think that there are gold and silver treasures hidden underneath."

"Got it, it's Fu Ke's chicken coop."

"No." Li Xiaosi shook his head.

"Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village?" Xiao Wu continued to pretend to be stupid and speculate.

"No, I've said it before, no one would guess!" Li Xiaosi raised his head with a proud face, "As long as you let me go, I'll tell you."

"I guessed it, I guessed it." Xiao Wu laughed, and the eagle picked up Li Xiaosi's collar like a chicken, dragged him back to the house without any explanation, and threw him on the ground, "Sir, how much does this guy want to use?" If you buy me with a few catties of gold and let me let him go, am I someone who can be bought with a few catties of gold? At least a few thousand catties will be enough."

While speaking, Xiao Wu threw Li Xiaosi's package on the ground, and scattered it all over the ground, shining brightly into people's eyes.

"Ah, Li Xiaosi, you really ate the heart of a bear and the guts of a leopard, and you really stole the treasure from Liu Yuanwai?" Jiang Xiaoliu picked up a piece of gold from the ground, put it in his mouth and bit it, "It is said that gold tastes delicious. It's sweet, really."

He licked a few more mouthfuls.

Xiao Wu felt nauseous for a while, and he tried not to laugh. He kicked Li Xiaosi who was limp on the ground: "This guy is eating and crawling. It's not a good thing. Turn around and throw him in the latrine to drown him. Sir, Liu Changting’s underground bank is just below the wheat field at the entrance of the village, and there are countless gold and silver treasures hidden in it.”

Li Xiao was surrounded by ashes: "Impossible, Xiao Wu, you are a fool, how could you guess that the underground bank is under the wheat field?"

Xiao Wu stuck out his tongue and smiled: "I'm a little stupid, but you said it's in the most conspicuous place, and I can't guess where it is, so stupid."

"Bang bang..." There was a knock on the door outside.

Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but be overjoyed. It is estimated that Wei Zhongqiang has returned.Xia Xiang nodded slightly, Xiao Wu understood, immediately blocked Li Xiaosi's mouth, and threw him aside.

Xiao Wu and Jiang Xiaoliu went to open the door.

The person standing outside the door was none other than Wei Zhongqiang.

"Jiang Xiaoliu, who is he?" Wei Zhongqiang looked Xiao Wu up and down after he came in, and asked warily, "Why is there an outsider? Where's Li Xiaosi?"

"Boss Wei, Li Xiaosi has a stomachache and went home to lie down. This is his distant cousin." Jiang Xiaoliu glanced outside the door, "Are you alone?"

"It's not just me, is there anyone else?" Wei Zhongqiang was still not at ease, and asked again, "Have you seen Xia Xiang and the others?"

"I see, I see." Jiang Xiaoliu turned around and pointed, "Xia Xianzun and the others are waiting in the room."

Wei Zhongqiang was stunned for a moment, his face changed, he turned around and wanted to run, but Xiao Wu was about to take him down, but he stopped again, turned around and laughed at Jiang Xiaoliu: "Jiang Xiaoliu, when can you Get rid of your stupidity, and you won't be played around by Li Xiaosi anymore."

Jiang Xiaoliu grinned widely: "My mother said, stupid people have stupid blessings. Boss Wei, hurry into the house, I have something to tell you, Li Xiaosi stole money from Liu Yuanwai..."

Wei Zhongqiang was surprised: "Ah? This Li Xiaosi doesn't want to live anymore, does he? He dares to touch the money from the bank. Damn it, I have to clean him up today. He must have gone to the east of the village to sleep under the covers of Li Jinlian's bed again." I went, I wanted to hug a woman before it was dark, I cut his dick with a knife, and let him be greedy for this again..."

"Who are you?" Wei Zhongqiang entered the room while talking, and suddenly found that the room was much better, he was stunned, "Jiang Xiaoliu, you hurt me!"

"I didn't harm you, Boss Wei, I just said that Xia Xianzun is waiting in the house..." Jiang Xiaoliu closed the door, and it was too late for Wei Zhongqiang to run away, Xiao Wu locked his arms .

Wei Zhongqiang thought he knew a few martial arts skills, and wanted to break free, but Xiao Wu didn't give him a chance, he lifted Wei Zhongqiang's arm vigorously, and took off Wei Zhongqiang's arm.Wei Zhongqiang let out a scream, and his arms hung down like noodles.

"Jiang Xiaoliu, I'm going to kill you." Wei Zhongqiang was furious.

Jiang Xiaoliu opened his innocent eyes wide: "Boss Wei, it was Li Xiaosi who stole money from members of Liu, not me. The person you want to kill is also Li Xiaosi, not me."

Wei Zhongqiang almost didn't faint, he calmed down, and smiled: "Xia Xiang, now that Lian Ruohan is in my hands, why don't you let me go obediently, otherwise Lian Ruohan will not be able to survive or die, you can Don't regret it."

"Where is Lady Lian now?" Xia Xiang suppressed the anger in his chest, "Where is Liu Changting now?"

"I don't know." Wei Zhongqiang remained stubborn, with his neck scratched.

"Hey, the keys to the underground bank?" Jiang Xiaoliu took off a bunch of keys from Wei Zhongqiang's waist, and played with them a few times, "Liu Yuanwai never leaves the keys to the underground bank, why are they on you?"

If it weren't for the lack of strength in his arms, Wei Zhongqiang would have strangled Jiang Xiaoliu desperately.

Xia Xiang immediately caught Jiang Xiaoliu's implication, and winked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu went out immediately without saying a word.With a pale face, Wei Zhongqiang raised his foot and kicked Jiang Xiaoliu.

"Jiang Xiaoliu, I must kill you!"

"Caught it!" Xiao Wu's excited voice came from outside, and then Xiao Wu came in with a man's neck in his arms, and it was Liu Changting.

Liu Changting's suave style before was gone, not to mention his hat was crooked, there were still a few bruises on his face, footprints on his body, and his nose was still bleeding.When he saw Xia Xiang, he snorted: "Xia Xiang, even if you have the ability, Liu still didn't escape you."

Liu Changting had an extra thought, he let Wei Zhongqiang go in first, he hid under the willow tree outside, and waited for Wei Zhongqiang to confirm that there was no danger.It's just that people are not as good as heaven. When he went to the toilet on the way, he handed over the key of the bank to Wei Zhongqiang for safekeeping, and then forgot to return it.

Xia Xiang didn't expect to catch Liu Changting by accident. With Liu Changting in his hand, at least Lian Ruohan was out of danger for the time being. His heart finally fell into his stomach, and he smiled: "You are a trap, no wonder me. Liu Changting, since you have fallen into my hands, whether you live or die is entirely up to me. Tell me, where is Lian Madam?"

"Haha, Xia Xianzun is so courageous, you dare to decide Liu's life or death? Even Cui Fuzun dare not touch a certain finger of Liu, you are a little seventh-rank magistrate..."

"Snapped!"

Before Liu Changting finished speaking, he had already received a solid blow on the face. Xia Xiang's raised right hand did not retract, but was suspended in the air. He said with a half-smile, "Go on!"

Liu Changting was angry: "Xia Xiang, you are such a daredevil!"

"Snapped!"

Xia Xiang returned another slap, which made half of Liu Changting's face swell up.

Liu Changting was almost out of anger, he jumped up: "Xia Xiang, you have to die, I won't kill you, my surname is not Liu..."

Xia Xiang drew out Cao Shujun's sword and stabbed it at Liu Changting's right arm, then the sword crossed and placed it on Liu Changting's neck: "Liu Changting, I hate people who force women the most in my life. As a non-member and a member of His Royal Highness Xingwang, but you did the shameless thing of kidnapping Lian's wife, even if you killed you with a single sword, it would not be an exaggeration. Don't think that I dare not kill you. I killed you for the sake of the people Removing harm is eliminating violence and peace, not to mention His Royal Highness Xingwang will not avenge you, even Cui Fuzun will avoid it, no one will admit that they know a villain who kidnaps a woman!"

Xia Xiang's words were like a knife, and Liu Changting was sweating, partly because Xia Xiang's words were indeed reasonable. If he was really notorious, Xing Wang and Cui Fuzun would categorically deny knowing him , let alone save him.The other half was due to the stabbing pain in his arm and the sword around his neck that could have killed him at any moment.

"So, Liu Changting, you have only one way to go now, which is to tell me where is Lady Lian?" Xia Xiang exerted a little force on his hand, and there was a bloodstain on Liu Changting's neck.

Several people were stunned. They had seen Xia Xiang's gentle and elegant demeanor before, but they didn't expect him to be so scary when he became ruthless.Thinking about it, Lian Ruohan, to Xia Xiang, is not only a lady who is about to pass through the door, but also a fellow traveler who will walk with him all the way.Liu Changting's tying up Lian Ruohan meant Xia Xiang's life, so it's no wonder Xia Xiang didn't fight him hard.

"Ms. Lian is, is, in the barracks in Shangfangzhuang." Liu Changting's previous aura disappeared, and he immediately softened, his legs trembling, "Xia, Xia County, please forgive me."

The cold sword edge rested on his neck, and he might be decapitated with a slight movement, and it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid.Liu Changting was also frightened by Xia Xiang's ferocity, only then did he realize that Xia Xiang was also ferocious at times.

"Is she okay?" The news that Lian Ruohan was in the barracks made Xia Xiang secretly heave a sigh of relief.

"Okay, everything is fine. After I tied her up, I didn't stay there. I sent her to the barracks and handed it over to Wu Yidong." Liu Changting looked at the sword with crooked eyes, "Xia, Xia Xianzun, can you take the sword down, Mrs. Scary."

Xia Xiang took back the sword and handed it to Cao Shujun. Seeing that it was getting dark, he said, "Mr. Jin Jia, Mr. Ye Zhenren, Mr. Zheng Lang, follow me to see how many gold and silver treasures there are in Liu Yuanwai's underground bank. It's an eye-opener. Xiao Wu and Cao Langjun, you two stay here to take care of Fu Ke and Li Xiaosi. Jiang Xiaoliu, I have a very big task for you to do, can you do it?"

Jin Jia and Ye Muping had no objection, Xiao Wu nodded, Jiang Xiaoliu looked excited: "What big things, Xia Xianzun, Xiaoliu likes to do big things the most."

"You go to the county government office and give this letter to Ma Zhanguo Ma Xianwei, and then he will give you a bigger job to do. How about it? Is it fun?"

Xia Xiang quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Jiang Buliu.

"It's fun, it's so fun, I haven't been to the county government yet." Jiang Xiaoliu couldn't help but put the letter away, turned around and went out, "Li Xiaosi, lend me your donkey to ride, and I'll be sure when I come back." Pay it back to you. If you can’t come back, don’t worry about it. If I can’t come back, your donkey must have been eaten.”

Li Xiaosi and Liu Changting looked at each other, people are so stupid, I really don't know whether to scold Jiang Xiaoliu for being stupid, or to be thankful that Jiang Xiaoliu only knows how to play foolishly for fun, but he can live a comfortable life.

After Jiang Xiaoliu left, Xia Xiang and his party left the yard and headed for the wheat field at the entrance of the village.It was night, and the streets were empty.Ding Buwang was a member of Yuanjia Village, there were only over a hundred people in the whole village, and after Ding Ke made such a fuss, they were too frightened to hide at home and dare not come out.

Soon after arriving at the wheat field, Xia Xiang was not in a hurry to enter the underground bank, and asked Liu Changting, "Besides Liu Yuan, Han Meng and Wu Yidong have always been at odds with each other, obviously he is not from Xingwang, so you say, Is he a man of the emperor?"
