Hui'er brought hot tea, and the three of them stared at the empty street in a daze.
It's almost midnight, and I have to wait for someone to return home, but he hasn't come back yet.
Xie Fan picked up a sword and said, "I can't wait any longer. I'll go and see for myself!"
"Master, I'll go with you!" Hui'er quickly stood up without hesitation.
Suddenly, sporadic footsteps sounded.
"Young Master, come back, come back."
Zhang Chao and his men quickly entered the shop and closed the door, "Master, everything goes well!"
"All wiped out?"
"All wiped out!"
Xie Fan finally let go of his worries, "Hui'er, go prepare some food!"
Zhang Chao covered his arm and whispered, "A few people were injured, but it doesn't matter! This Mo Chen is really powerful! If he hadn't arranged it properly, he would have suffered a lot."
"There was no evidence left at the scene, right?"
"No, no one used crossbows this time."
Suddenly, there were sporadic footsteps upstairs.
Xie Fan signaled everyone not to panic and went upstairs alone.
Li Qingfeng and Mo Chen were sitting there, contented with their ambitions.
Xie Fan stepped forward and sighed, "Why don't you two go through the main door?"
"Since we are brothers, why should we care about these details! This matter was handled beautifully, and the crisis has been resolved!"
Li Qingfeng knocked on the table and looked at Xie Fan in confusion, "Where is our food?"
"What? I have to take care of your food?" Xie Fan was a little dissatisfied, but he still went downstairs to get some dry food.
Mo Chen ate happily and said nothing.
Li Qingfeng stuffed two mouthfuls into his mouth casually and shook his head, "This food is too good. We should celebrate it!"
"You didn't say you were coming! It's so late, where can I get ready?"
Li Qingfeng's eyes lit up, "In that case, I will officially inform you that starting tomorrow, I will eat at your place every day!"
"What do you think this is? It's nothing out of the ordinary!"
Li Qingfeng touched his trouser pocket, "I can't help it. Who told me, brother, that I have no money? Since we are brothers, I have no choice but to come to you!"
Xie Fan cursed and went downstairs and took one hundred taels of silver from the backyard, "Third Young Master, this is one hundred taels. You take the flowers first and don't cling to me every day!"
Li Qingfeng put the money away without any politeness, "Then I'm not polite! But, I still have to come to your place to eat!"
"Why?"
"Think about it, the sky is high and the road is far away, it is rare for you and me to get together. Every moment should be cherished!"
Mo Chen burped, and the plate was already empty.
Xie Fan took out another ten taels of silver from his waist and handed it to the other party, "Master Mo, you should also carry some silver taels with you!"
Mo Chen casually took the money and said, "Thank you, Master, for being kind to people. I'll note it down!"
Xie Fan sneered, "Since the Li family treats you so harshly, how about I find you a profitable business?"
Li Qingfeng shook his head, "Brother Xie, I said, I want to live a more relaxed life!"
Originally, Xie Fan wanted to hand over the business of the shop to Li Qingfeng. With his status as the Li family, that was a piece of cake.
But who would have thought that the third son of the Li family would not be tainted by the world at all.
Mo Chen stood up and looked at Xie Fan with cold eyes, "Some of your men are injured. It's best to leave Chujiang as soon as possible."
"What, is it dangerous?"
As soon as Xie Fan asked, he thought of it.
Since the Mountain God Gang is related to the power of the imperial court, they will definitely use the government to track down the murderer.
Li Qingfeng nodded, "Mo Chen is right, you should leave as soon as possible!"
Xie Fan shook his head. He came to Chujiang and still had a lot of things to do. "I can't do it now. I have to stay for a few more days!"
"Anyway, I reminded you!"
The two left through the window, and Xie Fan went downstairs with the plate in hand, "Zhang Chao, let the brothers bandage their wounds. Injured brothers, please don't go out in the next few days!"
Zhang Chao nodded in response, his injured arm carefully protected by Cai Die.
…
the next day.
Xie Fan asked Zhang Chao to lead the way and visit his home.
Chujiang County is a large city, and we walked a long way before we arrived at Zhang Chao's home.
The dilapidated gates give people a bad omen.
Pushing the door open, a figure with white hair sitting in the courtyard.
Xie Fan stood outside the door, unable to bear to disturb the reunion after parting.
Suddenly, Hui'er pulled his sleeve, "Master, look!"
Xie Fan looked outside the door and saw a woman with messy hair staring blankly into the door.
"Hui'er, take me back to the shop and change into clean clothes!"
Hui'er left, and Xie Fan walked forward carrying some snacks.
"Uncle, how are you feeling?"
Zhang Chao helped his father stand up and introduced, "This is the young master of the Xie family. Our trip is to go to the Xie family!"
The old father's eyes were cloudy and tears fell unconsciously, "Master, please sit down quickly. This house has not been cleaned up for a long time, but..."
"Uncle, it's okay. When we return to Xie's house, we will have a new house to live in!"
Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, his father would be the only one left at home. Zhang Chao held back tears.
After simply cleaning up, Zhang Chao took his father back to the shop.
After putting on new clothes, the old father seemed to be in much better spirits.
Xie Fan deliberately called Zhang Chao aside, "I saw a person outside the old house and picked him up. This person is in my room. You decide how to deal with it!"
Zhang Chao knelt on the ground, "Young Master!"
"What are you doing? Get up!"
"Her name is Wu Fang. She and I have been childhood sweethearts for many years."
"I think she must be waiting for you too, go and meet her!"
Zhang Chao went to the backyard, while Xie Fan sat in the front hall in a daze.
This matter has been settled, but the shopkeeper has not been found yet.
Suddenly, Guan Ping appeared outside the shop door with another man on his arm.
Xie Fan stood up and let the other person into the shop, "Guan Ping, is this injury okay? Why did you call someone here?"
Guan Ping knelt on the ground, "This is my good brother, Sun Sheng. I come here this time to thank you for your life-saving grace!"
Xie Fan helped the person up, "Is Brother Sun Sheng's leg seriously injured?"
Sun Sheng's face has always been cold from the moment he walked in until now. Hearing about the leg injury, his expression became a little darker.
Guan Ping sighed, "My life has been saved, but I'm afraid I will become disabled."
"Is there any way to cure it? If you need some money, just ask!"
Guan Ping gritted his teeth, "It's all the fault of that dog officer. It was obviously us who killed the tiger, but he refused to admit it. If he could have received the reward earlier, this injury would not have lasted so long!"
Sun Sheng's tone was cold and he said feebly, "Why are you saving me? Why don't you let me die!"
Xie Fan patted the table and said angrily, "Heaven is going to entrust this man with a great responsibility, and he must first work hard for his mind and body! Brother Sun Sheng, don't give up!"
Hui'er stood aside and handed over several cups of hot tea, "Master, if you really can't do it, just follow my young master!"
