Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 215 Who is stealing other people’s things?
"Not only you come here, but other guards also come to Qingxi Town for inspections frequently. Please rest assured, Guard Ling, Qingxi Town is very safe." The old woman said with a smile.

"Oh, I wonder which other senior brothers are here? I will definitely thank you when I go back." Jiang Xuan was very surprised to know that there were other senior brothers coming to Qingxi Town for inspection.

"It's Uncle Cheng." said the little boy next to him.

After hearing this, Jiang Xuan touched the child's head again.

He looked at the old woman again and saw her nodding with a smile. Jiang Xuan knew that the child was not lying.

After Jiang Xuan went to the Yingzhou City Lord's Mansion, although he did not meet all of his senior brothers in the personal guards, he had the impression that there was only one senior brother with the surname Cheng among the personal guards.

"Grandma, does Cheng's personal guard carry a knife?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"That's right." The old woman thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

Hearing this answer, Jiang Xuan chuckled secretly and said, "It seems it really is Senior Brother Cheng. He is indeed a rough but thoughtful senior brother. However, Senior Brother Cheng is only a few years older than me. I didn't expect this kid to call me Big Brother and call Senior Brother Cheng Uncle."

"Big brother, we also have this kind of bear skin." The little boy said happily when he saw the bear skin Jiang Xuan was carrying on his back.

"Grandma, is what this little brother said true?" Jiang Xuan asked anxiously.

The last time they came to Qingxi Town, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xian gave the bear skin to the old woman, but later, the bear skin was spotted by Xing Yue, who brought it to Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xian to threaten them.

At that time, Jiang Xuan and Jiang Xian were still a little scared, so they immediately asked Jiang family's housekeeper Li Qizhi to go to Qingxi Town to check.

Later, Li Qizhi returned from Qingxi Town and said that the old woman was pulled to the ground by Xing Yue's servants when she was protecting the bear skin, and she was not injured. Xing Yue had returned the bear skin, apologized in person, and left some food for the two of them.

At that time, Jiang Xuan was still a little skeptical, because Xing Yue was usually very mean to Jiang Xuan, and he didn't believe that Xing Yue would return the bear skin.

However, since it was Li Qizhi who said it, Jiang Xuan did not question it too much and did not ask about it again.

After that, Jiang Xuan left Yingzhou and has been there ever since.

"Grandma, has Xing Yue, the young master of the Xing family, ever been to your house before?" Jiang Xuan asked.

The old woman guessed that Guard Ling was also here to investigate the matter like Guard Cheng, so she simply told the truth.

"To be honest with Guard Ling, Guard Cheng also came to ask about this matter, and I have told him the truth." said the old woman.

"That day, my little grandson secretly ran to the Dian Forest outside of town and was nearly killed by a ferocious beast I heard was a scaly-eared white bear. Two benefactors rescued him and gave this bear skin to us, my grandson and me."

"Later, a young man claiming to be the young master of the Xing family came and asked for some elixir. I told him there was no elixir, only a bear skin. But they didn't believe me. One of them asked his men to take the bear skin away, and the young master said he would return it to me later."

"I naturally didn't believe it at the time, so I started fighting with his men. During the fight, I stumbled and fell to the ground. For this, the young master of the Xing family scolded his men, left some silver, took the bear skin and left."

Jiang Xuan saw that the old woman's expression did not seem to indicate that she was lying, but he was really unfamiliar with Xing Yue's behavior.

"Grandma, I am the personal guard of City Lord Li from the City Lord's Mansion. You can tell me the truth without any other concerns." Jiang Xuan took off his badge and handed it to the old woman.

The old woman took the badge, looked at it carefully, and handed it back to Jiang Xuan, saying, "Please rest assured, Guard Ling, everything I said is true." Seeing that the old woman was sincere, Jiang Xuan nodded.

"Grandma, I heard that the young master of the Xing family came here later. Is this true?" Jiang Xuan asked again.

"Yes, that Young Master Xing came again later, apologized to me, and left me some silver and some food," said the old woman.

"That older brother also told me not to listen to Jiang Xuan and to avoid him when I see him because he will steal my things." The little boy remembered something when he heard the words "Young Master Xing".

"As far as I know, the young master of the Xing family is a warrior, but the brother and sister of the Jiang family are not warriors. How could they steal things from you, the grandfather and grandson?" Jiang Xuan said with a smile.

In reality, Jiang Xuan was furious, thinking to himself, "Xing Yue, you're such a jerk! You blocked the road and robbed the second-level inner elixir, and then you falsely accused others of stealing. Who is actually stealing others' things?"

"I heard that Young Master Xing and Young Master Jiang don't have a good relationship. I'm afraid that was just a joke. I believe Young Master Jiang is definitely not that kind of person." The old woman said with a smile.

"Speaking of the young master of the Jiang family, after that, another woman came here and asked if the young master of the Jiang family had been here." The old woman suddenly remembered.

"Who is that woman?" Jiang Xuan asked.

In fact, Jiang Xuan could roughly guess that the woman should be his younger sister Jiang Xian. However, if his younger sister came with a hidden identity, he couldn't ask too many questions.

"She was wearing a veil and did not reveal her true identity. She didn't ask too many questions and then left," said the old woman.

Jiang Xuan knew that his family must have been very worried when he left Yingzhou alone that day.

However, judging from the reactions of the guards at home when they returned to Yingzhou this time, they did have some confidence in themselves.

Now, Ling Honghe handed the Strengthening Muscle Powder and other items to the guards. After Jiang Xuan's parents and sister Jiang Xian received the items, they would surely know that Jiang Xuan was safe and would be relieved.

"Seeing that you two, grandparents and grandchildren, are safe, we are relieved." Jiang Xuan said.

"The Dian Forest outside Qingxi Town has become increasingly unstable recently. Wild beasts or even ferocious animals may appear at any time. This place is on the edge of Qingxi Town. Please do not leave Qingxi Town with your grandson." Jiang Xuan once again instructed the old woman.

"Please rest assured, Guard Ling. Guard Cheng has already instructed us about this matter. The City Lord's Mansion has also sent guards and guards to the town to check from time to time." said the old woman.

After hearing what the old woman said, Jiang Xuan finally felt relieved.

This time, Jiang Xuan did not leave any bear skin or other things for the old woman and her grandson. Instead, he secretly left a few taels of silver and said goodbye.

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were safe, Jiang Xuan finally felt relieved.

So, Jiang Xuan could feel a little more at ease today after seeing with his own eyes that the grandparents and grandchildren were living a good life.

It seems that Xing Yue did not lie that day. He brought the bear skin to Jiang Xuan just to threaten Jiang Xuan with the bear skin and get the second-level inner elixir.
