Xie Rongzhao received another letter. This time, it gave a specific time and place. The money must be delivered at the designated time, otherwise, Xie Xiuwen will be reported to the government office.
Regardless of whether Xie Rongzhao goes or not, the people behind the scenes will definitely have something to do.
If this matter is ignored, will the other party really go to court?
Xie Xiuwen and Cheng Jingzhou would never allow Xie Rongzhao to be involved in danger.
But they must also investigate the origin of this letter.
As soon as the two discussed it, they called Xie Rongzhao over, and then planned to perform a drama about Li Daitao's death.
When Xie Rongzhao left the house, she wore a curtain. When she arrived at a pharmacy, a girl next to her got off her horse to get the medicine. However, the carriage did not wait for her and went directly out of the city.
After the carriage left the city gate, he received another letter.
The general idea was that she should go alone and not bring anyone else with her.
Naturally, Xie Rongzhao would not listen to the other party, so he decided to bring a girl with brute force along with him.
Even if you are not allowed to bring a guard, you can't not bring a girl with you. What kind of talk!
The place designated by the other party was actually a ruined temple.
It seems that this place has been abandoned for more than ten years.
"You're finally here."
When the master and servant heard the sound, they looked over and saw that it was a child of about eight or nine years old. He looked like he was dressed as a boy. However, when many women are in trouble, they will deliberately dress up to look ugly, and some will directly dress up as men to avoid trouble. .
"Who are you?"
The little beggar had actually tidied up. Although the clothes on his body were old, they were still clean. However, there was a slight stain on his little face. I don’t know if it was intentional, but he didn’t have time to wash it off.
"Hmph! Xie Rongzhao, as Xie Xiuwen's only daughter, you must have lived a very wealthy life, right? Look at what Shili Hongzhuang said when you got married. With so much dowry, I'm afraid you are going to Has the Xie Mansion been evacuated?"
Xie Rongzhao said coldly and arrogantly: "What does it have to do with you?"
The little beggar sneered: "Why does it have nothing to do with me? I am also Xie Xiuwen's daughter! Why can you enjoy all this glory and wealth, while I have to be bullied everywhere!"
This is really confusing.
"Don't talk nonsense. Everyone in the world knows that my father only gave birth to a daughter from me, even though my elder brother and younger brother were both adopted. My mother only gave birth to me, so how could you be the child?"
The little beggar looked sad and his eyes were full of hatred: "I'm not talking nonsense! I am Xie Xiuwen's daughter, and my mother is Song Tingting. If he hadn't seduced my mother back then, how could my mother have been raped? Abandoned? Even my mother-in-law’s clan members ignored her and wished they could kill her! If my mother-in-law hadn’t been stubborn and insisted on giving birth to me, I’m afraid no one in this world would ever come to reveal her gratitude. Xiu Wen’s true face.”
Xie Rongzhao sneered: "That's nonsense! You mentioned Song Tingting, but I have some impressions of this person. Back then, she rushed to marry my father as a concubine. My father and mother were very loving husband and wife, so naturally they refused, but she planned to murder me. Mother, you even want to take my life. Of course my Xie family will not tolerate such a wicked woman!"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The little beggar seemed to be furious, and on impulse she was about to rush over and hit someone, but was stopped by the little maid beside her, who then kicked her to the ground.
The little beggar was so angry that he was itching his teeth: "Why are you still hiding? I've already attracted people, aren't you going to do something?"
The master and servant looked slightly startled and subconsciously took two steps back. However, before they could move again, they were surrounded by a circle of people.
"Who are you? I am the daughter of the Minister of Civil Affairs. If you want to murder the officials and their families, can you be beheaded?"
The person leading the charge looked to be in his thirties, with a long scar on his face, which made him look even more fierce.
"Hmph, what we want is his Xie Xiuwen's daughter. I thought you didn't dare to come, but I didn't expect you couldn't hold it back. Xie Rongzhao, if you want to blame it, just blame your troublesome father!"
"Someone, tie them up!"
The crowd rushed towards them, and the two masters and servants, while frightened and resisting, naturally knocked down the curtain fence above their heads.
The scarred man was stunned: "Wait a minute!"
Everyone stopped.
"You're not Xie Rongzhao! Are you the girl next to her?"
Chen Xia sneered: "If I had known that someone was deliberately planning to harm our master and young lady, how could we be unprepared?"
The scarred man was angry: "Kill them!"
Before these people could move again, there was a circle of people shouting outside. At this moment, the scarred man panicked. He didn't care much at the moment and jumped out of the window to escape.
Although there were people guarding the window, the man who couldn't resist the other party guarded the scarred man with all his strength, and finally let him escape.
The remaining people were wounded, dead, and tied!
This scene was really bloody and scary. The little beggar who had come to make trouble earlier had fainted from fright.
Those who came were from Jingzhao Mansion and Zuo Xiaowei. The leader of Zuo Xiaowei's team was none other than Xie Rongen.
At this time, Xie Rongen saw that the two girls were fine, and after taking down a group of people, he raised his hand, and Xie Rongzhao, who was forcibly protected by several people, was finally able to walk over.
"Miss!"
"lady!"
Xie Rongzhao saw that nothing happened to them, except that their clothes were a little messy and dusty, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Chen Xia. Were you scared just now? Let's go, let's wait in the carriage first, Fourth Brother is here It’ll be over soon.”
Xie Rongen ordered people to cooperate with the people from Jingzhao Mansion to escort the people away. He himself took more than ten people to protect Xie Rongan back to his home.
"My dear, remember to tell me in advance about this kind of thing in the future. When my brother-in-law sent me a message, I was scared to death. I really thought you were the one who went to that ruined temple."
Xie Rongzhao has the deepest relationship with Xie Rongen. He has protected him since he was a child. "I know, fourth brother. Thank you very much. Otherwise, Chen Xia and the others may suffer."
"Ahem, what's the point! Okay, you guys go back and rest at home for a while. The leader has run away, and I have to go back and fight with the leader."
"Fourth brother, walk slowly."
At this time, Scar Man, who was hiding in a wild forest somewhere outside the city, slashed a small tree with his knife and cursed angrily: "Damn! Just a little bit, just a little bit we can avenge our lord. Got it!"
After being furious for a while, the scarred man finally calmed down.
He showed his face in front of others, especially this scar, which couldn't be more conspicuous. I believe his identity will be exposed soon. He will no longer be able to show his face in the capital. He will have to think of other ways to avenge his lord. .
After calming down, he thought about how many people had been brought in this time. Fortunately, they were all small minions and didn't know his big plan, otherwise...
The scarred man took a deep breath and said with fierce eyes: "Since they are allies, it is their turn to contribute!"
