Chapter 51 The Wind Has Changed
When the fragrant hot and sour noodles came out of the pot, Xu Zhenying brought two bowls to Mr. and Mrs. Fang, and another bowl to Fourth Sister Fang. Finally, after thinking about it, he gave another bowl to Li Zhaodi.

I searched all over the camp and the inn, but couldn't find it. Finally, Li Zhaodi's sister Li Yinzhang said to her with red eyes: "My sister is crying in the woodshed. My aunt took away her new clothes. My sister refused and said it was The Xu family's sister lent it to her, and her father was very angry and kicked her, saying that the Xu family still owed 20 taels of silver anyway, so the clothes should be regarded as interest."

Xu Zhenying's heart thumped, and she felt bad.

Xu Zhenying walked in the direction pointed by Li Yinzhang, and sure enough he saw Li Zhaodi huddled in the corner of the woodshed. She was thin and rolled into a ball, her shoulders twitched, and her cries were very small.

"Li Zhaodi!" Xu Zhenying shouted.

Li Zhaodi quickly wiped her tears and said in shock: "Miss Xu, why are you here? Ah... is Yin Zhang looking for you? I'm fine... it's just... I'm useless... I let my aunt take it away... I told her that it's not It's my stuff, but she doesn't listen at all, and there's nothing I can do...I'm useless...I'm sorry...I will find a way to make money to pay you back in the future..."

The more Li Zhaodi talked about it, the sadder she became, and she started crying sadly at the end.

Xu Zhenying felt a little distressed. Li Zhaodi was only sixteen or seventeen years old. In her previous life, she was only a freshman and sophomore in high school, so she was still a minor.

Xu Zhenying patted her shoulder gently and comforted her: "It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing. I don't want you to pay for it."

"But...but..." Li Zhaodi cried sadly. It seemed that all the grievances at this moment were rushing into her heart. She endured it at first, but the more Xu Zhenying comforted her, the sadder she became, "But she clearly has several pieces of clothing in the box. Why do you have to snatch it from me... That's my first new dress... Dad is also partial... He only loves my aunt... He doesn't love me at all..."

Xu Zhenying had nothing to say at this moment. She could come up with many ideas to help Li Zhaodi get back her clothes, but what about after that?
Li Zhaodi's situation will not change at all——

Xu Zhenying was a little tired and felt helpless against reality.

She's here and can't change anyone or anything.All people and things continue to move forward according to their original trajectory.

However, Xu Zhenying was very concerned about Li Zhaodi's injuries. She was kicked by an adult man, no matter how big or small. If the force was used too much, it was very likely to damage the internal organs.

"Clothes are a trivial matter. Zhaodi, lift up your clothes and I'll help you take a look at your injuries."

Li Zhaodi was a little shy, her eyes were red and swollen, and she shook her head to express her refusal.

Xu Zhenying said: "We are all girls, why are you embarrassed? Let me show you the injury. Let me tell you, if someone kicks you, your internal organs will rupture if it is serious, and you may not be able to sleep at night." Your life is dying, Li Zhaodi, do you want to die?"

Li Zhaodi was threatened by her and shook her head quickly, "I don't want to die, I want to protect my mother and sister! If I die, my sister will have to do all the work. My sister is still young and has little strength, so I can't die yet—— "

Xu Zhenying felt sad for a while, "Then take off your clothes and I'll show you."

Li Zhaodi did not resist this time, and carefully lifted up her clothes, revealing her skinny body. She looked at Xu Zhenying's face from time to time.

Xu Zhenying saw a big bruise on her belly. It was conceivable that Li Xiucai must have been cruel at that time.

She frowned, suddenly filled with anger, she just wanted to beat that bastard Li Xiucai to death with a few sticks.

Xu Zhenying endured his anger, pressed her belly several times, and asked repeatedly. Li Zhaodi shook her head and said it didn't hurt, so she dared to confirm that it was a skin injury.

Seeing that Xu Zhenying kept looking bad, Li Zhaodi said quickly: "Miss Xu, I don't feel bad... Dad doesn't often do this... My aunt has given birth to a son and is a great contributor to the Li family. I shouldn't snatch things from my aunt..."

After saying that, she carefully looked at Xu Zhenying's face, with a bit of guilt and flattery: "Good girl, don't be angry...Don't give me anything next time...I can't keep it if you give it to me...It's all in vain. Such good stuff..."

"I'm not angry." Xu Zhenying sighed and explained word by word, "I just feel very powerless."

Li Zhaodi's eyes were full of doubts.

She always felt that Xu Zhenying was different from all the girls in the world.

But she couldn't figure out what was different.

She only felt that Xu Zhenying's eyes were deep at this moment, as if he was looking at her, and his eyes seemed to be floating far away.

Xu Zhenying looked away and forced a smile, "Just wait a few days and I will find a way to make you..."

The words that followed were gone.

Li Zhaodi often thinks, what should she be asked to do?

So that she doesn't have to be beaten and starved, so that she doesn't have to be exiled, or so that she doesn't have to be bullied by her aunt?

But many years later, Li Zhaodi recalled this scene and always lamented her confusion at the time.If she were smarter, she would have been able to detect what kind of grand plan was hidden in Xu Zhenying's unfinished words at that time.

"Let's do this for now. Maybe it will get better after a while. Just wait for me." Xu Zhenying put down his clothes, seemed to have regained his mood, and smiled at her, "You haven't had dinner, right? My aunt made hot and sour noodles." , it’s something that’s not available in Bianjing City, you come and try it too. I’ll ask Yin Zhang to bring it to you, don’t let your aunt see it.”

Li Zhaodi was infected by her emotions, and she was no longer sad just now. She finally broke her tears and smiled: "I know."

That night, there was an uninvited guest in Bantou Zhao's room.

Liu Jiejie stood at the door, bending down and waiting for Squad Leader Zhao. When he saw him coming back, he greeted him enthusiastically, "Team Leader."

Captain Zhao picked his teeth, narrowed his eyes like a line, and chuckled twice, "I mean, why don't you come to me? You're quite calm."

"What are you talking about? I don't want to think that there is no water in the squad leader's room. Go and help get some..." Liu Jiejie handed him the water bag and took something out of his arms. "I heard that squad leader you like to drink." Tea, I have been on the road of exile and haven’t bought any good tea. This belongs to the brothers at the post station. I bought some and brought it to you to satisfy your craving."

Leader Zhao pushed the door open without comment and signaled with his eyes.

Liu Jiejie immediately hit the snake with a stick and put the bag of tea leaves on the table.

"If you don't come to me, I'm going to come to you." Team leader Zhao strode up to the stool, crossed his legs, and continued to pick his teeth leisurely, "From tomorrow on, you and Ming Xiaoshuang will change. Now, if you are not responsible for the dozens of people in the Xu family, you can lead Ming Xiaoshuang's team."

Liu Jie was shocked. He learned that the Xu family had fallen, but he spent a lot of money to clear the way, and finally joined the escort team, just for revenge. This exile road had just started, so why did he have to change people?

Liu Jie's heart was ups and downs, but he didn't show it on his face. Years of dormancy had taught him to remain calm, so he looked puzzled, "Hey, why do you need to change people suddenly? But what's wrong with the younger one?"

Leader Zhao stared at him, looked him up and down with his sharp eyes, and then sneered: "It's not that you didn't do well, but you did very well. Looking at me, I can't see any deep hatred between you and the Xu family. What? I tell you the truth, I don't care what happened in the past, but from now on, if you dare to lay a finger on the Xu family, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Liu Jiejie was stunned for a moment, and then resumed his playful smile. , "Why don't you understand what the squad leader said? This... is fine. Why was there a sudden change of people? Could it be that there was some instruction from above?"

He clasped his fists again, with a sincere expression: "This is my first time escorting, and I don't understand the rules. Please tell me, Squad Leader Zhao!"

Team leader Zhao looked slightly calm. Who doesn't like obedient subordinates?
What's more, Liu Jiejie is always there for business, and he shows his respects from time to time, nodding and bowing before and after everyone else, which gives him the face of a small team leader.

Thinking that if Liu Jie was stubborn and continued to embarrass the Xu family, he would be hurt. Team leader Zhao thought for a moment and decided to reveal a little bit about it, so as not to make Liu Jie mess up and implicate everyone.

Thinking of this, Team Leader Zhao knocked on the table with his hand and made a mysterious look on his face, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. But considering how well you have done things in the past, I'm not afraid of letting you know." Let’s talk a little bit.”

Liu Jiejiu immediately pricked up his ears.

After making sure that no one was around, Team Leader Zhao lowered his voice and said, "I have reliable information. The resurrection of the second master of the Xu family is a certainty."

Liu Jiejie's face instantly turned pale as paper.

Seeing his expression, Team Leader Zhao was very satisfied. He patted Liu Jianjie on the shoulder, half threatening and half warning, "That's it for now. I can't reveal more. You also know that the matter is serious. If you continue to embarrass Xu, My family, I’m not sure how Mr. Xu will deal with us when he returns to Bianjing City in the future. As the saying goes, keep a line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. You are still young, so don’t do anything too extreme."

Liu Jiejie suddenly realized and almost sat down on the ground.

"I don't care what enmity you have with the second master of the Xu family. Even if you have a huge enmity, if the people don't fight with the officials and you use all kinds of methods, is it possible that you can still lift the sky? I advise you to rest as soon as possible. Take it easy."

Liu Jiejie came to his senses, clasped his fists and said to Team Leader Zhao, "Thank you so much, Team Leader, for saving my life! If I hadn't been warned by Team Leader, I would have caused a catastrophe! The kindness of Team Leader is like reborn parents -"

Liu Jie actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Captain Zhao touched his chin and was extremely satisfied. He waited for Liu Jie to kowtow before helping him up. He said with a sincere expression, "You can think so and it's not in vain. It's just that this matter is of great importance. I I shouldn’t have told you this…”

"I know. Leader Zhao took the risk to tell Xiao Xiao to save my life. Xiao Xiao is absolutely tight-lipped. No one will know after walking out of this door."

Leader Zhao patted Liu Jiejie on the shoulder happily, consciously solving the Xu family's matter and giving Liu Jiejie a huge favor. He couldn't help but feel happy.

After Liu Jiejie surrendered, his back felt a little chilly.

He looked at the lights in the room from a distance, but his mind was filled with what Team Leader Zhao had just said.

The Xu family is about to revolt... Is this news true?

It must be true, otherwise Team Leader Zhao would not have changed his attitude drastically.

He didn't quite believe what Team Leader Zhao said that he told him in order to save him. He was obviously afraid that if he did too harshly, he would be harmed in the future.

But if the Xu family wants to revolt, what will he do?
The Xu family must be the first to deal with it.

No, the Xu family must not be allowed to revolt.

Liu Jie thought about it and couldn't help but come up with a bold idea: Wouldn't killing Xu Deyuan solve all the problems?
Now on the exile road, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and there are mountains, forests and rivers everywhere. As long as we find a way to find a remote place, we can kill Xu Deyuan without anyone noticing, and what will happen to the remaining old, weak, women and children?

Liu Jiejie was shocked by his boldness, but the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.

He walked very slowly, and the moonlight stretched his back. He thought carefully: Killing Xu Deyuan can not only avenge his mother, but also prevent him from retaliating against himself in the future. This is simply a clever plan to avoid future troubles!

Just thinking of this, Liu Jiejie felt refreshed all over and had goosebumps on his skin. He recalled the time when his clansmen tried to seize his property and slandered him as not his father's son. His mother committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam to prove her innocence. The gossips of the neighbors. For so many years, he gritted his teeth and endured it.

He had been hiding in Bianjing City, working the lowest jobs to eke out a living. He thought this would be the end of his life, but unexpectedly, he was made to wait for the news of Xu Deyuan's imprisonment.

He gave up the money he had saved over the years, made connections everywhere, and finally became a member of the mission.

Just one step away.

Besides, he was ready to take Xu Deyuan's life.

Thinking of this, Liu Jiejie's heart no longer had the fear and uneasiness that first came up with the idea of ​​murder, and was replaced by a strange calmness.

But right now, it's hard to make a boat out of a canoe, and he still needs a helper.

Thinking of this, he paused, changed direction, and found Huang Yazi's room.

Huang Yazi took off his shoes and socks and lay on the bed. He rolled up his trouser legs to expose his feet. There was a sour smell in the room. Huang Yazi seemed to be unable to smell it. When he saw him coming, he smiled and said, "Hey, Liu Brother is here?"

He patted his thigh, casually put on some clothes and stood up, "I was just saying that I wanted to find you, and you came here. We two brothers really have something in mind..."

Liu Jiejie was so stoked by the foot odor that he took half a step back, but finally managed to hold it back, "It's because of the connection."

He really didn't want to enter the room, so he said, "Brother Huang, come out and talk."

Huang Yazi also knew the smell of his room, so he didn't care about it. He just smiled apologetically and said, "What's wrong? I see that you don't look good. Hey, during the day you said you were going to ask Squad Leader Zhao about the situation, but you can go and ask Yes? Does Team Leader Zhao have any gossip? "

Leader Zhao's change of attitude towards the Xu family made Liu Jiejie the only one who was anxious, there was another person who was equally anxious.

That is Huang Yazi.

Obviously, in the exile team this time, the people of the Fang family cannot move and must be respected. They may be revolted one day, and they may not be sure which official is a student of Mr. Fang. It can cause you to be dismissed from office and lose your life; if the Xu family members do whatever they want, even if they are beaten to death, no one will say a word.

Those who do the job interpretation naturally have to look at the look of the squad leader. In the past, Huang Yazi often yelled at the Xu family. Squad leader Zhao didn't say a word, so the people underneath naturally knew who could and could not be touched.

But now, the trend has obviously changed.
