Si Ning asked this question. Li Xutang looked a little confused and looked at him.
"I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know who the Xijue people are, but I know that everyone wants your life!"
Lu Hanxiao walked forward and said to Si Ning.
"It's been a tiring day. You should go back and rest first. I'll ask someone if you want to know anything."
He and Si Ning had no need for this kind of thing, and he didn't want to bother Si Ning for this matter.
Si Ning listened and nodded. She knew that Li Xutang would not shed tears without seeing the coffin, and she was not good at interrogating such things.
She turned and left, leaving only Lu Hanxiao and Ming Han who came in.
Lu Hanxiao winked at Ming Han. Ming Han understood and quickly brought someone over.
Li Xutang's eyes suddenly widened, and his face became ferocious due to distortion.
Regardless of the rope still tied to his feet, he crawled forward with all his strength.
There was blood on her ankle, but she didn't feel any pain at all. She just wanted to be closer to the person next to Minghan.
But it is doomed to be in vain!
"Lu Hanxiao, you don't deserve to die well. If you let Brother Hu go, come to me if you have anything to do..."
Lu Hanxiao said coldly without giving her too many looks.
"Next, I'll ask you questions. If you hesitate, don't blame me for not caring about my feelings. I don't know how many times Brother Hu's body can be stabbed."
Li Xutang's angry red eyes looked like an angry beast.
But in Lu Hanxiao's eyes, this beast was just a clown.
Her thin lips parted slightly and she said calmly.
"Now here we go, who are those people and why are you with them?"
"Where have you been these past few days? Why did mother help you when you escaped from Ning'an Marquis' Mansion?"
Li Xutang looked at Lu Hanxiao in a state of collapse, his eyes full of blood.
She knew what Lu Hanxiao wanted to know, which was a life-saving talisman for her and her son.
If she said it, her life would be lost.
If she didn't say anything, Lu Hanxiao could still spare her life.
She didn't want to die, at least not now.
Lu Hanxiao saw what she was thinking, raised his hand and took the dagger from Ming Han's hand, put it in his hand and said coldly while playing with it.
"Of course the second sister-in-law can choose not to say it. I will send you and Brother Hu down to reunite with your mother, and I will send you off to Lu Qingling. If you miss the second brother, I don't mind letting your family reunite!"
"Second sister-in-law, it's been so long, you must have forgotten who I am. I want to destroy your family. I'm just thinking about a little old love, but is this old love enough to save you and Brother Hu?" Yes, you have to weigh it yourself!"
Li Xutang's eyes widened even more, and he bit Lu Hanxiao like crazy.
"You ungrateful thing, we are all your family, you treat us like this, aren't you afraid of thunder?"
She knew that Lu Hanxiao always kept his word. If he said he would not let their family go, he would never let him go.
What's more, she knew very well that that old relationship might not be able to protect even half of a person's life.
When Lu Hanxiao came to Ning'an Hou Mansion, Li Xutang had already married in.
When she first saw this half-year-old child coming to the house, she was extremely opposed to it.
"It's not like we don't have any children in the house, so why would we bring back someone with unknown origins?"
The old Marquis was still at home at that time. He was just introducing people to everyone. He was not here to ask for their opinions, and he had no intention of explaining to them.
For this reason, Li Xutang and Lu Zhiyuan had a quarrel for several days.
In those few days, Lu Hanxiao was teased by his subordinates and isolated until the secret guards came to his side.
No one knew where those secret guards came from. Li Xutang only knew that they suddenly appeared one day.
With those secret guards around, Lu Hanxiao's life became easier, but it didn't please the old lady.
The old lady would always try her best to cause trouble for Lu Hanxiao, and as the old lady's niece, she was naturally an accomplice.
Lu Hanxiao's feelings for their second wife were only due to the kindness of the old marquis for taking him in, and nothing else.
The old Marquis has not come back for so many years, and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.
How long can this kindness last?
"If I tell you, can you let Brother Hu and Ling'er go?"
As a mother, her children are her biggest weakness, and Lu Hanxiao naturally knows how to take advantage of this weakness.
Li Xutang begged Lu Hanxiao to let her child go, and Lu Hanxiao agreed.
"good."
He showed Li Xutang's testimony to Si Ning, who frowned as he read it.
"Those people turned out to be Li An's people, but it seemed that they were more threatening to Li Xutang."
"Li Xutang said that Li An's subordinates were dissatisfied with her and felt that if they had not come to the capital to support her, Li An would not have died. Li Xutang confessed that after she escaped from the house, she encountered robbers and took the money She was robbed and almost sold, but it was Li An's men who rescued her. She said those people wanted to avenge Li An and had been lurking in that ruined temple, waiting for an opportunity to attack me."
These words were not mentioned in the testimony. It seems that meeting them was not accidental, but inevitable.
Even if we didn't meet him by chance in the ruined temple this time, they would come to visit us.
Li Xutang has been dormant in the dark. Si Ning and Lu Hanxiao are her targets and cannot be guarded against.
Lu Hanxiao said to Si Ning, "They are trying their best to survive. Even if they encounter someone in a ruined temple, they will be caught off guard."
Si Ning nodded, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong.
"Those Turks actually attached themselves to Li An. The Li family is not involved in politics and only does business. How could they get involved with the Turks? Did the Li family collude with the Turks from the beginning?"
Lu Hanxiao, "I'm thinking the same thing as you. Li An doesn't have the capital to make the Turks obey his orders. I think there should be Turks working for the Li family from the previous generation."
"But the Turks will not serve anyone casually. I doubt the Li family..."
"They are also Turks!" Si Ning said.
Lu Hanxiao nodded and pointed at the testimony in Si Ning's hand.
"You continue to look below."
Si Ning saw the last ten lines at a glance and took a breath of air.
"Your poison was actually given to you by the old lady, and then I saw it?"
This surprised Si Ning. There was no such episode in the original owner's memory.
"This makes sense. No wonder the poison is not colorless and odorless. You were also infected. No wonder the old lady always wanted my life."
Si Ning had never understood why the old lady teamed up with Li Xutang to deal with her again and again.
Even if she took away Li Xutang's housekeeping rights, she wouldn't hate her to the core, now everything is clear.
It turned out that the old lady was worried that she would reveal this secret, but why did the original owner have no memory of this part at all.
Could it be that she didn't see it at all, but the old lady thought she did.
But the old lady is such a cautious person, how could she misunderstand this?
Si Ning felt that there was something she had overlooked.
"If everything goes as Li Xutang said, would it be possible that the defeat in that battle was caused by the Turks?"
Lu Hanxiao shook his head, "It just hurts me, but it won't annihilate the entire army. Someone must have leaked our battle plan. Only a few generals and I know about the battle plan. There is a traitor among these people."
Si Ning stared, "Are they still alive?"
"That's the problem. They are all dead. Someone wants to kill them to silence them. There are others in the court who are colluding with the Turks!"
