Chapter 176 Negotiations
"Tie up Mr. Zhuang?" Xiao Shan paused while drinking tea, and asked with frowned eyebrows: "Can you tell me the reason?"

When he went just now, although the other party was not angry, he didn't dare to do anything, why did he suddenly change his face and buckle Zhuang Yinan.

"The little man doesn't know. He said it well, but suddenly Su opened the door and gave a loud shout. Zhennanhou opened the door and caught Mr. in. We didn't have time to react." The man who spoke back and forth said: "Little man I think they probably want you to come over and exchange Mr. Zhuang with...Mr. Xiao."

Xiao Shan put down the teacup and said, "I'll go and have a look." He said and walked out.

Fang went out, Madam Xiao was supported by someone, he quickly walked a few steps to support her, and said softly: "Why did you come out?"

"I'm bored in the house, come out and walk around." Mrs. Xiao asked, "I heard that the Marquis of Zhennan in the capital detained Zhuang Yinan? Master, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Shan replied: "He is in the territory of Chengdu Mansion, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't be crazy with me." He also said: "Li first and then soldiers, he doesn't know people yet, so don't be polite."

Mrs. Xiao nodded and sighed: "Master, I have been thinking about it for a long time. Zhennan Hou is different from others. If we really kill him, a war may be inevitable. Xiao Hanqing, do you want to discuss it again?" ?”

"Zhao Zhiang is useless." Xiao Shan said, "Even if he wants to attack Chengdu Mansion, he will have to wait a few more years. Who knows what will happen in a few years."

Saying so, he helped Mrs. Xiao back into the room, "You rest, I'll go and have a look and come back." He said again: "Mr. Zhuang will be fine."

"Then you should be worried and try to resolve this matter peacefully." Mrs. Xiao lay down on the bed, Xiao Shan covered her with a quilt, and sat for a while before going out to the Tongfu Inn.

In the inn, the door of the guest room had been kicked down by Miao Changying, so as soon as I went upstairs, I saw the situation in the room. Miao Changying was standing at the door with a spear in his hand, except for Zhuang Yinan who was sitting on the ground and being held up by a knife The one with the neck, the others are all sitting, looking confrontational.

The atmosphere seemed to be deadlocked.

"My lord," Miao Changying heard Xiao Shan's footsteps, and shouted, "They are unreasonable, and they actually detained Mr. Zhuang and refused to let him go."

Xiao Shan nodded slightly, entered the room, glanced at everyone, Zhuang Yinan couldn't stop smiling bitterly, he had followed Xiao Shan for decades, and had been a staff member for decades, but it was the first time he was taken hostage.

This Marquis of Zhennan is not as brave and foolish as in the legend, and this Aunt Su is really sharp-tongued and unreasonable.

He shamed Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan's gaze fell on Shen Zhan's face, and he said, "What does the Marquis of Zhennan mean by that?"

"It's just for self-protection." Shen Zhan replied: "Master Xiao knows what I want to do, Ming people don't speak dark words, you let Xiao Hanqing come to see me."

Xiao Shan frowned and was about to tell the truth, when suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw that Su Wanru took the teacup and slammed it on Zhuang Yinan's head with a snap. Not small at all, Zhuang Yinan lost his composure and exclaimed, the golden light in front of his eyes flickered.

"Aunt Su, what are you..." Xiao Shan's face suddenly darkened, extremely ugly. Does this little girl know that now they are in Chengdu Mansion, not Yanjing.

Su Wanru took the teacup back, and muttered: "The quality is so good, it's not broken." After speaking, she looked up at Xiao Shan, and said, "Master Xiao, do you think that even if we kneel down to beg you now, you will promise to take it to us?" Will Xiao Hanqing hand it over?"

Xiao Shan shook his head.

"Then why should we pretend to be polite?" Su Wanru said, "Have you been threatened by Xiao Hanqing, saying that if you help him kill Shen Zhan, he will tell you where your child is?"

"Yes." Xiao Shan said: "Everyone has their own difficulties, please don't make things difficult for each other."

No embarrassment, it is best for Shen Zhan to leave Chengdu Mansion.

"Are you so sure that Xiao Hanqing knows where your child is?" Su Wanru got up, and walked in front of Xiao Shan with her hands behind her back. Compared with Xiao Shan, she looked thin and small, and she looked like a child talking to adults and pretending to be an old town Xiao Shan didn't dare to look down on such a child, but looked at her seriously, "Yes!"

"Do you know that he escaped from Yanjing just now because he used his own child to disturb his heirs." Su Wanru smacked her lips and said, "Don't be afraid, my lord. He can just point out a child for you?"

Xiao Shan replied: "He dare not!"

Su Wanru rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously, "He dared to lie to the Holy Majesty, why didn't he dare to lie to you." Then, she pointed at Zhuang Yinan, "Mr. Zhuang asked us to try it for him, he The weight in your heart, since we promised him, we must keep our word."

As Su Wanru said, she took out a pair of daggers, shook them around Zhuang Yinan's face, and said with a faint smile: "I'll give you half an hour, and after half an hour, I'll cut off a piece of him every other cup of tea." Meat, he is so fat, it may last three to five days."

Zhuang Yinan smiled wryly, he had been smart all his life, but he never thought that when he was old, he would fall into the hands of a little girl.

"It doesn't make much sense to do that." Xiao Shan said, "Whether Xiao Hanqing sees you or not is not up to me to decide. He is a guest, so you can do whatever you want."

Su Wanru snorted, "He does as he pleases, and when he comes to us, he does as he pleases. Mr. Xiao, your way of treating guests is not only unfair, but also not smart. You still deceive yourself when you know that others will deceive you? "

"Xiao has his own reasons for doing things." Xiao Shan frowned and said: "If you insist on doing this, then don't blame me for being rude."

Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Master Xiao know Mrs. Lu?"

Xiao Shan was stunned, looked at Shen Zhan, and then said: "Master Xiao, the Lu family in Qingxing Mountain, do you still remember?"

"What do you mean by Marquis Zhennan?" Xiao Shan's expression was serious, with a bit more murderous look.

With hands behind his back, Shen Zhan stood up and stood in front of Xiao Shan, "Your child, maybe I know a thing or two."

Xiao Shan's complexion changed, he couldn't help clenching his fists, and said sullenly: "Marquis Zhennan, this is my family matter, it has nothing to do with you." After so many years, he has had enough, no matter who is coming to him to talk children's business.

He thought that Shen Zhan would not be able to, but he did not expect it to be the same. He thought that he would back down if he used the child's affairs.

"22 years ago, when Mrs. Xiao gave birth, the child was lost, right?" Shen Zhan said, "You husband and wife, not to mention seeing the child, you don't even know whether it is a boy or a girl."

Xiao Shan's complexion changed drastically, everyone in Chengdu knew the first sentence, but few people knew the second half.

Mrs. Xiao gave birth that day, and he didn't have time to rush back outside, but as soon as he came back, he heard that her baby was taken away by a woman who followed Mrs. Wen to help as soon as she fell to the ground.

Mrs. Wen died and Mrs. Xiao was in a coma. No one knew who that woman was, let alone whether the child Mrs. Xiao gave birth to was a boy or a girl.

But to the outside world, they always said it was a baby girl.

"How do you know?" Xiao Shan asked coldly.

Shen Zhan replied: "So, some things are not only known by Xiao Hanqing."

Xiao Shan didn't speak, Shen Zhan's words gave him the illusion that everyone in the world knew where his child was, only their husband and wife didn't.

In the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Hanqing was sitting on a rocking chair. The rocking chair was placed in the courtyard. When he looked up, he could see the blue blue sky that had been washed by water. This day, Yanjing would not be able to see it after September, but it was different here. This is true all year round.

His subordinates brought him some tea, Xiao Hanqing sniffed it, "Gao Ying, how is it going over there?"

"Xiao Shan didn't do anything." Gao Ying replied, "My lord, do you want to put more pressure on me, otherwise Xiao Shan might not dare to do anything to Shen Zhan."

Xiao Hanqing sneered, and said, "Don't dare to do it, doesn't he want his own child?" He said, pointing to his room, "Go and get the bundle beside my bed."

Gao Yingying turned around and went back to the room, then came out again, took out a bright red apron from the bag, it was a embroidered apron with a little boy, it was very interesting, he shook the entire apron and it was only a piece the size of a palm, yes A bellyband for very young children.

"Send this to Mrs. Xiao." Xiao Hanqing said: "Tell her, I only have two conditions. Since they agreed to the first one, there is no need to procrastinate on the second one. Such delays are harmful to everyone." not good."

"Yes!" Gao Ying went to the front yard with his bellyband.

Although the courtyard where Xiao Hanqing lives is in the backyard, it is actually separated from the backyard. There is a wishful door in the middle, and there is a separate door at the back, facing the outside, which is considered a very independent courtyard.

"My lord." In the room, a woman in her thirties came out. She was wearing a ginger-yellow double-breasted short jacket, dressed like a servant girl, "Young master's medicine is used up. Going to buy some more."

"It's been so long, why not?" Xiao Hanqing said sarcastically in a deep voice, "Didn't you say that your medical skills are excellent?"

The woman was helpless, "The combination of poisons pays attention to the order and decoction time, and the compatibility of antidote is the same. Right now, I don't know the order of the combination of poisons, so naturally it is difficult to make an antidote."

There are more than a dozen flavors of medicine, which one is the first and which is the last, even if she is a fairy, it is difficult to find the answer for a while.

"I have tried my best to keep him alive." The woman replied.

Xiao Hanqing glanced back at the woman, smiled coldly, and said, "I see, are you impatient? Let me tell you, if you dare to act rashly without my order, don't blame me for not caring about old feelings."

"Yes!" The woman lowered her eyes and replied, "I will go to work."

As she spoke, she turned and went back to the room. When the door was opened, a smell of medicine came over her face, and she could vaguely see a person lying on the bed.

Gao Ying came back and replied in a low voice: "Mrs. Xiao was very excited and cried when she got the bellyband."

"Let someone go and see if Su Ji has arrived." Xiao Hanqing said, "It's in the Chengdu Mansion. Let's clean up all these obstacles, so as to save procrastination and trouble."

Gao Yingying was the only one worried about Xiao Shan, "I'm afraid that he will act in the opposite direction."

"Wait." Xiao Hanqing said, got up and straightened her clothes, "Let's go."

As he spoke, he opened the courtyard door and left with Gao Ying.

Mrs. Xiao held her bellyband and cried for a long time. When Xiao Shan came back, she was already exhausted and half-conscious. Seeing him coming back, she hurriedly gave him the little bellyband, and said, "Master, look at this."

"This...was lost with the child back then?" Xiao Shan looked over and over, Madam Xiao nodded, "Yes, I embroidered it stitch by stitch, master, what Xiao Hanqing said is true, he knows our Where is the child, master, you should listen to him. Didn’t you say that even if you kill Shen Zhan, Zhao Zhiang can’t do anything, he has no money and no one in his hand, and he doesn’t have the ability to fight Chengdu.”

"En." Xiao Shan said: "You have a good rest, I know that."

Mrs. Xiao grabbed his hand and sat up, a gleam of brilliance appeared on her yellowed face, "I want to see my child before he dies, whether he is male or female, tall or short, fat or Lean."

"Master, please." Mrs. Xiao cried for the rest of her life, but whenever she thought of the child she had never seen before, her heart was like a knife.

Even, even if the child died 20 years ago, she has no regrets, at least she knows the news about her child, doesn't she?

Xiao Shan couldn't bear it, nodded and said: "Understood, let's hold a banquet today and kill Shen Zhan!"

"Master!" Mrs. Xiao held his hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Shan sighed, patted Mrs. Xiao and did not speak.

Shen Zhan took Zhu Xun to another room. After taking the medicine, he was obviously much better. He woke up for a while, said a few words, stuffed half a bowl of porridge, and fell asleep again after eating.

Su Wanru sat on the bed and touched his forehead, and said to Shen Zhan, "The red envelope seems to have disappeared."

"Master!" Min Wang came in from the outside and said in a low voice: "I saw Xiao Hanqing, and he lived behind the Xiao mansion. When he left, he took his men out to a pen and ink shop and bought pens and paper. I went back again."

"Is it just him and his subordinates, didn't you see your old lady and King Ning?" Su Wanru asked.

Min Wang shook his head, "No." He added: "However, it is very likely that he did not come out of the mansion."

Su Wanru nodded, and Min Wang said again: "However, your letter was thrown into the courtyard where they live."

You can't kill them, but you can still do it by throwing a ball of paper into the yard.

"I don't know if it will work." Su Wanru said: "If Zhao Zhongyuan is not dead, then it must be the medicine that Mei Ziqing made and they can't cure it. This way saved Zhao Zhongyuan's life, but they couldn't cure his poison."

"It depends on how much this good uncle and father who is devoted to his nephew loves Zhao Zhongyuan. It depends on whether he is willing to sacrifice himself in exchange for Zhao Zhongyuan's life."

Shen Zhan smiled and said, "I'm afraid it won't be easy."

"Are you really going to the banquet tonight?" Su Wanru looked at him and asked.

"Go!" Shen Zhan looked at him and said, "You guys are staying here. Their main purpose is me. If I am not here, you are safe. Although Xiao Shan is not a gentleman, he is not a villain either." , what you say will still count.”

"Well, I don't feel at ease leaving Zhu Zhengyan here alone." Su Wanru said, "Zhuang Yinan is in our hands. Since Xiao Shan cares about him, he should be more cautious."

At night, Shen Zhan washed and changed into clean clothes, and went to Xiao's mansion without haste.

　I feel dizzy and don't want to code!Then I recalled it, it seems that every article has this situation, hahahaha~ I decided to be decadent for another day, trying to find a way to adjust the state, it was too sluggish.
