Chapter 13 The Brood Woman and the Pawns

After resting for a few days in Nansha County, Elder Mo Qianshan personally brought a group of elites from the gang, and the purpose was to thoroughly investigate the attack on everyone.

Due to Tangning's internal injury, Mo Qianshan arranged for him to return to the gang to recuperate, and sent two people to escort him all the way.

A few days later, Tangning returned to the gang and immediately went to see Cui Yilin.

"master."

"I know everything, how is your injury?"

"After a few days of rest, it's fine."

"It's good that you're fine, you will always encounter some unexpected things when you walk in the rivers and lakes, it's inevitable." Cui Yilin handed him a small bottle: "This is Wu Yi Wan, and your injury will heal sooner if you take it."

"Thank you, Master."

"Go to rest!"

When Tangning returned to her room, Liu Ruhan was busy knitting clothes. She couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw him coming back. She put down her needle and thread and trotted in front of him.

Tangning took her little hand and walked to the edge of the bed and lay down on it. Zheng Zheng looked at the white wall above his head, a little lost in thought.

He has a lot of words kept in his heart these days, and no one can say them.

"Ruru, do you know that a few days ago we were ambushed by a group of people, and many people died."

Liu Ruhan raised her head and looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." Naturally, Tangning would not tell her about her internal injuries, otherwise she would definitely be crying again.

Liu Ruhan felt relieved when Tangning said she was fine. She didn't care about other people's life or death!As long as he's okay.

"I killed people," Tangning continued, "I killed four."

"I didn't think about it that much at the time, and I wasn't scared at all. But when I went back to the sub-helm, I was scared when I thought about it. I dreamed about them twice."

"I don't know who they are, and I don't know why they ambushed us." Tangning paused and let out a long breath, as if he had made up his mind, "Ruru, when we get married and save enough money, Let's leave here and open a restaurant, okay?"

…………

The Xieyou Building is full of feasting and feasting, and there is a sound of Yingge Yanyu.

Jieyoulou is the largest brothel in Qinghe County, and the owner behind it is the young son of the King of Qinghe, so many dignitaries and nobles come here, which makes Jieyoulou even more famous.

...............

This is his favorite place to come. The woman in his arms is named Qiu Chan, who was his good friend in the early years. At that time, he was just an unknown boy, and he would come here for entertainment whenever he had spare money.

And now he is the head of the sub-rudder of Qinghe County, and he can be regarded as a respectable person in this Qinghe County.

Thinking about the past, Xie Anshi couldn't help but feel as if he was in a different world, as if he was still the little boy from twenty years ago.

"Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie." Qiu Chan shouted three times before he came back to his senses
"Why are you so insane these days?" Xie Anshi held the woman in his arms, his eyes a little confused: "Qiu Chan, sir, I'm leaving soon."

"Where are you going?"

"I don't know, I won't be in Chu country anyway. Would you like to come with me?"

Qiu Chan was stunned.

"I mean get out of here and be my wife."

Qiu Chan stared at him dazedly, the circles of his eyes gradually turning red.

"Why are you crying?" Xie Anshi smiled: "I've already paid the ransom fee for you, so I'll pack up later and move out! There's a house over there in the South Garden, you can live there first."

Qiu Chan couldn't bear it anymore, lay on his chest and wept with joy,

"Tart." The knock on the door broke the warmth between the two.

"Who?"

"Helmsman, it's me." A man outside the door replied
Xie Anshi patted the jade arm of the woman in his arms, Qiu Chan quickly got up and put on his clothes, wiped his tears, opened the door and walked out.

"What's the matter?" Xie Anshi asked, he knew that there must be something very important to come here to find him at this time.

"The old boy Chen Dong wrote a letter to the gang to inform you."

Xie Anshi turned pale with shock: "Has the letter been sent yet?"

"No, he sent Xiao Liu to deliver the letter, and Xiao Liu gave it to me after changing hands. Fortunately, we were prepared for him, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

"Where is the letter, show it to me."

Xie Anshi couldn't help but gasped after reading the letter, secretly thinking that he was lucky, fortunately he sent Xiao Liu, if it were someone else, if this letter was sent to the gang, his plan would definitely fall short.

.........

Chen Dong walked back and forth in the house. As the head of the foreign affairs office of the Qinghe County sub-rudder, he was in charge of the logistics work. Over the years, he was very clear about the sub-rudder's accounting problems. He has always turned a blind eye to it.

It's just that this time the problem is far more serious than he imagined, and the entire sub-helm's property has almost been evacuated.

The inspection team is coming soon. If this happens, he, the head of the foreign affairs hall, will naturally be implicated. After thinking twice, he decided to write to the gang to report the truth about Xie Anshi's evacuation of the helm's belongings, and how he has bullied him for so many years. Concealing the evidence of embezzlement of huge amounts of money and silver.

He asked Xiao Liu to handle this matter. Xiao Liu is the housekeeper of his family. He has been with him for many years, works diligently, and knows nothing about the affairs of the branch. It is best to let him go. It is not at ease to replace it with others
"Master, Xie Ruozhu, please come over immediately, saying that there is something urgent." Someone outside the door shouted
"Okay, I'll go right away."

What's the matter?Could it be that he discovered the matter of dividing the property?Chen Dong thought to himself, opened the door, a flash of sword light flashed, his eyes darkened, and the man fell.

.....................

"Tangning, Tangning." Early in the morning, when Tangning opened her eyes, she heard someone calling her from outside the house. The voice was familiar.

Liu Ruhan was also awakened by the sound, opened her eyes in a daze, and squeezed into his arms.

Tangning got up and opened the door, only to see a smiling young man standing outside with his hands behind his back, it was Gu Chengqian.

"Chengqian, why are you here?" Seeing him, Tangning was also very happy

"I'm also an official disciple of the caravan now!" Gu Chengqian looked proud.

"When did you come here?"

"I came a few days ago! I came to find you. I heard that you went outside. I knew you were back yesterday. By the way, who do you think I worshipped as my teacher?"

"who is it?"

"Master Dong Hai, Tangning, I heard from the master that you have made great progress. I have also made great progress in martial arts this year. Let's come back and learn more about your moves." Gu Chengqian said eagerly.

"Let's talk about it in a few days! You've only been here for a few days, and you haven't been to many places! I'll take you everywhere to play."

"Okay!"

"Ruru, let's go together." Tangning took Liu Ruhan's little hand, and the three of them went out of the yard to wander around the town until midnight.

For the next few days, Gu Chengqian approached Tangning every day to learn from each other.

At Tangning's current level, of course he was no match, but he wasn't arrogant. The more defeat he was, the more courageous he became. Whenever he found a new move or found a way to decipher Tangning's moves, he would immediately challenge him.

Time flies, and two months have passed in a flash. On this day, a piece of news shocked the caravan.

Xie Anshi, the head of the sub-rudder of Qinghe County, ran away, and the entire sub-rudder was evacuated. When Mo Qianshan and the others first heard the news, they were only half-believing.

In the evening, there were several more news about Qinghe County's sub-helm, and they were convinced that it was true.

It's ridiculous. This kind of thing has never happened to the caravan since its establishment. Not only did people defect with gold, but even the more than [-] horses they raised were sold. The caravan didn't know anything about it.

Selling more than [-] horses is by no means an overnight success, and the gang has never received any news before.

After discussing with the others in the meeting hall, Cui Yilin sent people to Qinghe County overnight to investigate the matter, and sent an elite team to search and kill Xie Anshi.

The team that went to Qinghe County to investigate sent a letter back a month later, and found out that Xie Anshi had cheated over the years and embezzled more than [-] taels of gold and silver. What was even more shocking was the ambush of Tang Ning's gang two months ago. The mastermind behind it was him.

Xie Anshi's defection was planned long ago. Over the years, he has embezzled the sub-ruler's property privately, resulting in more and more loopholes in the accounts.

At the beginning of the year, Xie Anshi made a plan to transfer the existing assets of the sub-helm one by one, and sell all the horses at a low price and exchange them for cash.

Because he was afraid that the inspection team would find out, he bribed the killers in the rivers and lakes to intercept them, and deliberately chose to do it in Nansha County, so as not to suspect him.

Things went as he wished. After the patrol team was ambushed, they did not continue to patrol, and the investigation team behind did not suspect him.

The ambush inspection team was planned by him alone, and the purpose was to buy time to complete the follow-up plan of the defection.

According to preliminary estimates, the property loss caused by Xie Anshi's defection was nearly [-] taels.

When the letter was sent to the gang, Cui Yilin was furious, and ordered to use all the forces of the caravan to find Xie Anshi, and sent three other elite teams, plus the previous one, a total of four teams to hunt down Xie Anshi

On the other hand, we will continue to send inspection teams to strictly investigate each sub-rudder, determined to rectify the atmosphere and prevent another defection.

Because of Xie Anshi's incident, the inspection work this time was extremely strict, and many people were involved, so let's not talk about it.

Half a year later, a hunting team found Xie Anshi's traces in Wu State, and finally found him and brought back his head.

It is said that Xie Anshi has settled down there, opened a medicine store, and married his wife.

On the day he was killed, his wife also committed suicide, and later someone said that his wife was originally a brothel woman in Qinghe County.
