Xie Xiu asked him to take the wounded in the team back. Although these people were not seriously injured, Xie Xiu still did not dare to be careless.

Moreover, if someone is forced to travel with injuries, the other party will inevitably feel resentful.

So he gave each wounded soldier an additional compensation of five to ten taels of silver, and said some polite words, asking them to follow General Zhou Qian back to the county town to recuperate.

In this way, everyone is satisfied.

The leader of the escort team was so happy that he gave Xie Xiu a thumbs up and praised him for his kindness and righteousness.

After Xie Xiu smiled and sent the man away, Captain Fang impatiently asked him, "When do you plan to leave, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Xiu knew what he was thinking, so he sighed and said, "I never thought that just because I went to the capital, someone would bribe bandits and want to kill my whole family.

I don't know how many dangers await me along the way. Captain Fang, who could possibly hate me so much that they would collude with bandits to take my life?

Fang Bazong's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, fearing he would change his mind and refuse to leave Biyang County. He quickly laughed dryly and said, "It's hard to say. Perhaps the bandit leader is just talking nonsense to exonerate himself."

They had interrogated the bandits yesterday and learned from them that someone was using threats and bribes to force the bandit leader to get rid of Xie Xiu.

So even though he knew Xie Xiu's identity, he still brought hundreds of bandits to intercept and kill him, intending to kill Xie Xiu.

General Fang suspected that it was Xie Xiu's stepmother who did it, but since he had no evidence, he naturally didn't dare to speak nonsense.

What's more, he couldn't understand why it would matter even if Xie Xiu took the title of eldest son since the Xie family had no heir to the title.

He married Mrs. Tu, so it was even more impossible for him to compete with his stepmother's younger brother.

Why would his stepmother take such a big risk and take his life?

So this matter is really strange. It is possible that Xie Xiu has other enemies and they are the ones who did it.

Xie Xiu also knew that this alone would not be enough to kill Chen Fang, so he decided to quit while he was ahead. He sighed and said, "Perhaps that's the case. Unfortunately, I still can't recall my past memories, and I don't know if I've offended anyone."

As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves came from afar.

General Fang immediately became alert and looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came from.

Not long after, the two saw a man on horseback, rushing towards them.

Seeing that the man was dressed in shorts and riding an ordinary horse, Captain Fang asked, "Do you recognize this man, Mr. Xie?"

Xie Xiu frowned, his face solemn. "He's my family's servant. He should have stayed at the manor to look after us. But now he's rushing here. I'm afraid something must have happened at the manor!"

After saying that, he immediately went to meet him. General Fang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly followed.

When Liu Ye saw Xie Xiu, he immediately stopped his horse, turned over neatly, and jumped off.

Captain Fang's eyes lit up and he wanted to trick the man into becoming his soldier. However, thinking of Xie Xiu's identity, he had to give up.

"My dear! Something happened in the manor!"

Liu Ye solemnly recounted in detail how someone had buried Sun Qingqing's body last night with the intention of framing her, and finally mentioned Luo's death.

It turned out that Luo died of poisoning shortly after lunch yesterday at noon.

Later, a servant of the Zhang family secretly reported to the authorities, reporting that Zhang Yougen had poisoned Luo.

Zhang Yougen was arrested and interrogated, but he refused to plead guilty.

As soon as the incident involving Sun Qingqing happened, the Black Kirin Guards immediately launched a thorough investigation and carefully interrogated the prisoner.

Unable to bear the torture, the man said that everything was instructed by Xie Xiu. He did not dare to offend Xie Xiu, so he had to follow Xie Xiu's orders and poison Luo to death and frame Zhang Yougen.

However, the Black Kirin Guards soon discovered that although this man did not lie, he was deceived.

Someone deliberately pretended to be Xie Xiu and used threats and inducements to coerce him.

This case seems to be a frame-up of Zhang Yougen, but in fact, the real person to be framed is Xie Xiu.

After Liu Ye knew this, she hurried to inform Xie Xiu.
