Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"Do you still remember the noble person you heard from Gu Lang before?"

The two nodded.

How could they not know.

If I didn't know why I would have been pretending to be nice to him for so long.

"Actually, he's from the capital. We've been working for him in secret all these years. Gu Lang is in the open, and I'm in the dark. We've been following him for almost twenty years, so when you said that Gu Lang was assassinated by someone from the capital, I didn't want to believe it."

"If not, if not for what I heard in Youzhou the day before yesterday, I still wouldn't believe it."

"However, you may not believe what I'm going to say next, but please believe me, we only followed orders and never did anything evil on our own."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts again.

Now start to clean yourself up.

Not when doing things.

However, the two of them didn't say anything. Instead, they looked at him with eyes that said, "We trust you very much." "Well, we naturally know what kind of person Brother Chen is."

Seeing that they were not suspicious, Chen Xiong continued, "Actually, over the years, Gu Lang and I..."

The three of them chatted until very late. During the conversation, Leng Youran couldn't help but want to kill Chen Xiong several times, but was suppressed by Li Tianze.

After they had finished trying to trick Chen Xiong into saying everything, Chen Xiong died quietly.

Chen Xiong would never have thought that he would lose his life while drinking.

Until his death, he didn't realize that he didn't even know the real names of the two people in front of him, and he also had a feeling that he had finally found a confidant.

After the two men dealt with Chen Xiong, they returned to their own tent and specifically ordered people to burn down the tent that had been allocated to Chen Xiong.

"Damn it! If I had known this would happen, I should have used some tougher tactics to interrogate him. I wasted so much food."

It was the first time that Li Tianze heard his wife swear. Not to mention, he couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw her like this. "Forget it, don't think about it. Just think of him as accompanying us to relieve our boredom."

"Besides, isn't he dead now?"

"He's dead, but aren't those people behind him still alive and well? Oh, Tianze, write a letter to my third brother now, asking him to leave Youzhou and not do business here. Just go back and keep a close eye on Manrou and the others. And... forget it, the others are in Beicheng, so nothing should go wrong."

Li Tianze knew that she was extremely angry, and in fact, he was also very angry.

He never imagined that Chu Weian had already painted portraits of the women from both families and distributed them to his subordinates when North City was rising.

The reason why Li Manrou was arrested that day was because her face was very similar to that of her childhood.

The people Chu Weian planted in Liucheng became suspicious of Li Manrou's identity when they saw her.

He secretly drew portraits of Li Manrou and Leng Yuning and sent them to Chu Weian.

Leng Yuning had made a simple disguise before leaving and was not recognized.

Because Li Manrou was still young when she was in Beijing and seldom appeared in public, they did not think that Li Manrou would have any problems with her face, so they did not think of changing her appearance.

Who knew that this would happen and almost lead to a big mistake.

If Chen Xiong had not been drunk and Leng Youran had not taken the opportunity to attack his sea of ​​consciousness with her mental power while his mind was confused, Chen Xiong would probably not have thought of mentioning this matter.

They still remembered Chen Xiong's arrogant words when he was drunk, "Let me tell you, we've captured quite a few women based on the portraits over the years. Do you know how happy that noble was when we sent those women who looked like the Leng family and the Li family to do the most menial jobs?"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of? Retaliation from the North? What a joke! If we were afraid of retaliation, why would we do so much? The noble above has said that as long as we work hard for him, we will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

"Yes, Gu Lang died. He died because of his calculations."

"I really didn't expect him to abandon Gu Lang. You don't know, all those women were given away through our hands over the years. We don't know how much money we gave him as filial tributes over the years."

"In the end, in the end, let alone wealth and glory, even our lives will be gone. What do we want? What do you think we want?"

"This time, too. He told us to do the final job and specifically push one person out to expose himself, so that the people in North City would suspect Zhao Tongqi..."

"But, unexpectedly, he didn't want to put the blame on Zhao Tongqi, but wanted to push Gu Lang out so that he could get away with it."

"So that the people of North City will never suspect him. Do you know how many of us died this time?"

"Forget it, forget it. You don't even know it's a misunderstanding. Forget it..."

Leng Youran and Li Tianze didn’t know whether Chen Xiong wanted to let it go.

But they knew that when he spoke of those who had died, the expression on his face showed hatred for them.

It's a pity that he will never have the chance to take revenge on them.

"Tianze, have someone send a message back, asking them to treat those girls well."

Leng Youran said this and walked out.

I walked around in the woods in the night.

She really needs an outlet now. If she doesn't vent, she might go crazy.

For many years, they thought that the affairs of North City were kept secret, but tonight she realized that their every move had long been known to others.

Now she is very glad that she did not let her uncle and his family continue to go out to do business, otherwise...

When Li Tianze found her, she was sitting on a rock in a daze.

"Don't be like that. Ultimately, they're just blinded by greed. Even if Chu Weian didn't want to use this to make money from the beginning, there's no guarantee he wouldn't do something like this in the long run. Or maybe he'd come up with something even worse."

Leng Youran shook his head, "I know, it's not because of this incident, but I thought about what Chen Xiong said. I knew that those people actually knew about our business, so I couldn't help but feel a little scared. Tianze, what do you think, should we..." withdraw Li Xiaoxiao and the others.

She didn't dare to gamble, for she was afraid that what they were going to do next would make them desperate. If that were the case, wouldn't all the people outside be in danger?

"If you're worried, you can let Third Brother and Huo Tong retreat first, but they should do so slowly. As for Li Xiaoxiao and the others, they're not far from North City, so Big Brother and the others can arrive in time if anything happens. Besides, we came out this time to wipe out these people, so it's better not to let them retreat yet..."

He was also afraid that if those people noticed something was wrong, it would be disadvantageous to them.
