Chapter 396 Why is it you?
The dog barked loudly, and I heard the sound of fighting in the yard. Everyone got up and put on their coats.
Soon the yard was filled with people from the family.
Zuo Cheng and Xu Shan, the guards sent by Jiang Zhongren to protect them, were seen holding knives, each holding a knife on the neck of a person kneeling in the yard.
The two men lowered their heads slightly. It was the middle of the night and their faces could not be seen clearly. There were two knives that had been knocked away beside them, Cheng Liang's.
Sun Ruhua hurried into the house to get a lamp.
As he walked into the house, he felt guilty and muttered to himself, "How could this house be robbed?" Then he patted his chest and said, fortunately Xie Jiaojiao brought someone to watch the house yesterday. For the first time, he felt that the money was worth it!
The lamp was taken out and Xu Shan took it directly and held it in front of the captured person.
Upon closer look, one of the kneeling people turned out to be Xie Qian!
He disappeared for such a long time, and I didn't expect him to appear at this time.
"Why is it you!" Sun Ruhua was surprised. Just as she was about to move closer, she took a step back when she saw the knife on the ground.
Xie Qian squinted his eyes at everyone and said, "Now that I've been caught by you, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!" He looked like a man of integrity.
Seeing his look, Xu Shan immediately kicked him.
He screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
The one who looked at Xu Shan with a cold eye was someone he couldn't beat. If he could beat him, it would seem as if he would tear the other person into pieces.
Sun Ruhua immediately wanted to go over and support him, but she looked at Xie Jiaojiao and resisted the urge.
When she looked at Xie Qian's eyes again, she felt that they were terrifying, and she began to back off.
"You brought people to my house in the middle of the night, are you trying to steal something?" Xie Jiaojiao looked at him and asked slowly.
He not only wants to steal things, look at the two knives on the ground, they are sharp and shiny. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is here to kill people.
Xie Qian climbed up, and as he moved, the mark on his hand was revealed.
"I want you to take care of it?"
Damn it! Xu Shan kicked again.
Sun Ruhua looked a little distressed, but she managed to control herself in the end.
Xie Jiaojiao sneered and was about to speak when she saw a fire symbol on the arm he accidentally exposed. She had seen this symbol on the bandit who broke into their house last night.
She couldn't help but look at him secretly, but with Sun Ruhua around, there were some things she couldn't say out loud.
It was too late now, so he thought of asking Xu Shan and Zuo Cheng to take the two of them to the woodshed and lock them up, and then report to the authorities and let Qin Fang deal with them.
Xie Qian struggled with the person who came with him.
"Xie Jiaojiao, we just wanted to find some money, but you caught us and beat us up, what else do you want?"
"What do I want? You come to my house to steal things. I think I should hand you over to the authorities tomorrow."
As soon as the word "government" came out, Xie Jiaojiao really saw a trace of fear on both of their faces.
He stuttered when he spoke.
Another bandit spoke up: "My lady, I think it's better not to send it to the government. We didn't steal anything from you anyway. Don't worry, we won't come here again."
Xie Qian snorted and said nothing.
Sun Ruhua couldn't help but speak up at this time: "Jiaojiao, why don't you let them go? Nothing happened to our family anyway."
Xie Jiaojiao glanced at Sun Ruhua and saw a hint of caution in her eyes.
She definitely wouldn't agree to let Xie Qian go just like that.
But then he thought about it and nodded: "Okay, how about I let you go for my mother's sake."
After saying that, he nodded slightly to the two guards.
The two men let them go, and Xie Qian began to glare at them again.
They wanted to pick up the knife on the ground, but Xie Jiaojiao kicked it away.
"Just get out of here."
The two men flexed their wrists, looked at each other, and then reluctantly turned around and left.
Sun Ruhua looked at Xie Qian's back, took two steps forward, and then stopped.
Xie Jiaojiao gave Zuo Cheng and Xu Shan a look, and they nodded slightly.
Xie Jiaojiao turned to Sun Ruhua and said, "Okay, mother, it's almost dawn, you should go to bed as well."
Sun Ruhua sighed and nodded, but before going back to the house, she carefully pulled Xie Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, I just thought that Xie Zhishu only has this one son, so I begged you to let him go. You...you won't blame me, right?"
Xie Jiaojiao forced a smile: "I know, you go and rest first, don't you still have to go to Aunt Wu's house to help tomorrow?"
Only then did Sun Ruhua go back into the house.
As soon as she left, Jiang Weinan spoke up: "Did you see the mark on his hand?"
Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Let's go and take a look too."
Jiang Weinan held her back and said, "Let me go. You are pregnant."
Xie Jiaojiao touched her belly, then looked at him and nodded slightly: "Then be careful, I'll wait for you at home."
After hesitating for a few seconds, he whispered, "If they know a lot, there's no need to keep them alive."
Jiang Weinan nodded: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Jiang Weinan brought Lai Fu and followed quietly.
After Xie Qian and his companions left Xie's house, they went to the town swearing. The other person said, "Didn't you say that there was only an old woman in that house? Not only did so many people go there today, but our weapons were also broken."
Xie Qian said impatiently: "How would I know that Xie Jiaojiao is back? She wasn't there when I came to check yesterday morning."
After saying that, I felt a little depressed.
"What should we do now? We have no money, the head of the village has been arrested, the village is gone, and we have to hide from the government soldiers."
Xie Qian didn't care: "If you ask me, Brother Hong, the government doesn't recognize us, so why should we be afraid of what they might do? Besides, I have a backup plan." Having said that, he touched his chin.
When he heard this, the person next to him immediately became excited: "What back-up plan?"
"Did you see the woman with the big belly just now? Her husband's family has connections with our boss, but she definitely doesn't know about it. When the time comes, we can use this to threaten her. Are you afraid that she won't give us the money?"
"Then why didn't you say that just now!"
Xie Qian pursed his lips. He was a little scared just now. The blood in his bones made him afraid just looking at Xie Jiaojiao!
"I didn't remember it just now! I only remembered it when I saw the man next to her when I was leaving."
The other man immediately snorted: “I think you just don’t dare to threaten them because there are too many people in that family.”
Xie Qian snorted, rolled up his sleeves and said, "What's wrong with us letting them live for two more days? When Xie Jiaojiao and her guards are not at home, we will go there again. By then, we can take as much gold, silver and valuables as we want!"
The people around him didn't believe it, but they asked their own question: "How do you know that there is money in his family?"
"How could I not know? Let me tell you, the old woman who just begged for us is my own grandmother. When I was a gangster, she even secretly gave me money!"
The man didn't believe it when he heard it: "I don't believe you! If she was really your grandmother, would you be a bandit like us? And you took me to rob her house? Aren't you afraid that we might kill her by mistake?"
Xie Qian opened his mouth but didn't want to explain: "I'm too lazy to tell you, anyway, she is a biased woman, so just kill her. When there is a chance next time, we brothers will come again, and we will definitely not end up like today."
The man laughed at his family members for being so capable of killing him. Xie Qian said angrily, "That's because you haven't experienced what I've experienced!"
Seeing that he was angry, the man immediately said a few nice words.
The two of them walked towards the town without saying a word, completely unaware that there were people following them.
Just as they turned a corner, a hand suddenly stretched out from behind them and knocked the two men unconscious.
