Chapter 429: A Thief Who Scammed Someone to Death
Translator: 549690339
Without needing Xiao Baoxin to say anything, Madam Wang and Madam Wang had already pressed Third Master Xie back down.
Xiao Baoxin smiled and insisted on going out,”
“I’d better go out and take a look. Sometimes, he was afraid of sudden accidents and could not react in time.”It was mainly a house of women. There was not even a place to put one’s feet in and out, and the air was thin.
In the past, she didn’t think that there would be many members of the Xiao family.
Of course, among the great clans, the direct branch of the Xie family was not very prosperous.
Everyone was concerned about Xiao Baoxin’s words, but they couldn’t deny that he was telling the truth, so they all silently agreed. Only Madam Xie’s face twitched, and she complained. There were so many people in the Xie family, and so many elders. Wouldn’t it be good if Third Master Xie stepped in?
He had pushed the burden of the family onto his daughter’s shoulders. She was only seventeen.
“Why don’t we let Third Master Xie follow and watch?”She was too embarrassed to say anything and let Third Master Xie go up himself. After all, a son-in-law was filial. He took her over to the Xie residence and could not stir up any disputes.
What kind of person was Mother Xie? When she heard Madam Xie’s words, she knew that Madam Xie cared for her daughter.
However, Xiao Baoxin insisted on going out. The entire Xie family indeed couldn’t pick out such a decisive person. Madam Yuan was tough, but she was talking about her style of handling things. Why don’t you ask her to kill a person or kill a chicken?
“Bao Xin…” He wanted to say something but stopped.
Xiao Baoxin knew that it was not appropriate for Mother Xie to express her opinion. He looked at Madam Xie and revealed a smile.”Mother, I’m fine. They only dare to act sneakily at night. How can I not deal with them?”
After saying that, he turned around and left. His imposing manner carried the wind as he walked. The four maids in front, back, left, and right opened up a path. The huge crowd instantly made way for him. Almost subconsciously, they were all stunned by Xiao Baoxin’s posture.
A few of the concubines looked at her with admiration. She was too beautiful and handsome.
He couldn’t find an adjective, but it made people submit to him unconsciously.
The courtyard was brightly lit, but the sounds of fighting next door gradually died down.
The back woodshed was in the northeast corner of the entire place. The second and third households were some distance away from Yi An Hall, but they could already see the fire in the northeast corner from the courtyard.
It was already past midnight. There were stars but no moon. The sky that had just rained seemed to have been washed clean, and the stars were especially bright.
The wind was a little cold.
The courtyard was quiet. The maids and manservants were sent to put out the fire, and the guards were outside the courtyard.
Before Xiao Baoxin walked out of the courtyard, he saw a person running in from the opposite direction. His face was dark, and half of his hair was singed. He said in a buzzing voice,”The ancestral hall is burning-”
He was a guard on patrol. When more than a dozen people walked over, they realized that the ancestral hall had been set on fire. By the time they realized that more than half of the rooms in the ancestral hall had been burned down.
The great clans paid the most attention to ancestral halls and clans. These guards did not dare to delay and rushed into the sea of fire to save 20 to 30 memorial tablets. The rest wanted to save them, but no one could enter.
Their memorial tablets must not have put out the fire. They couldn’t find water at the last minute, so they didn’t send someone to report to their mistress. They also went around to call for servants to put out the fire.
“Are you hurt?” Xiao Baoxin asked.
The guard was stunned for a moment before he reacted and smiled foolishly.Tm not injured. We all have martial arts skills. At most, our hair and clothes were singed. At the very least, Zhou Xiaoliu burned his hand and only broke a piece of skin. His skin is rough and his flesh is thick.”
Xiao Baoxin nodded.” Those are all dead objects. If they’re burned, they can be carved again.” “Someone made things difficult for the Xie family, burned them, and robbed them. The Xie family needs your help. Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild can only work on you. Other times… Take care of yourself.”
“However, thank you for what you did. The Xie family won’t forget.”
These few words made the guard’s heart burn. He had never heard such a beautiful person say such beautiful words in his life.
“Did you get someone to put out the fire?””
“The brothers have gone to look for him. This lowly one will report to Furen first.”
Xiao Baoxin looked at Tangli.” Send more people over. The guards are still responsible for patrolling. There’s no need to put out the fire.” However, at the scene of the fire, they were especially careful of unfamiliar faces.”
The guard nodded repeatedly and raised his arm.”Brothers, you all know that there are red strips of cloth tied around your arms.”
“Yes, as long as there are strangers who don’t wear red cloth strips, kill them without mercy. If there are survivors, keep them alive.”
The guard responded and left.
Xiao Baoxin turned around and instructed Cai Wei to take a look at the rear woodshed. First, they planted someone next door, then set fire to the Xie family. It would be a waste of the intelligence of these people who took advantage of the situation if they said that there was no follow-up.
The guards and servants of the Xie residence all followed Xiao Baoxin’s orders. Each of them had a red cloth tied around their right arm to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation and to make it easier for them to recognize each other.
Cai Wei was halfway there, but before she even reached the firewood shed, she heard the sounds of a fight not far away. Both parties had already begun to slash with their knives.
“Motherf * cker, what kind of sneaky things are these? They actually tied up to recognize each other.”A servant dressed as a servant swung his knife around and cursed loudly.
“Which bastard came up with this stupid idea!?Brothers, kill them all!”
“Kill them all, and the wealth of the Xie family will be ours!””
Cai Wei:” Be more careful, don’t you want to look around and see if the people you brought are responding to you?” They were all killed until they had no strength to resist. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, big brother!
Cai Wei hesitated for a moment and did not dare to continue watching. Finally, the thieves had arrived. She knew in her heart that her Madam had been waiting for them.
After finishing them off, he could still have a good sleep. Otherwise, it would be unbearable to have a knife hanging on his neck.
When he ran back to Yi An Hall, Xiao Baoxin had already returned to his room.
Before he could finish speaking, the butler returned. His body was stained with blood and his face was a little pale. Everyone in the Xie family was stunned. One could imagine how intense the battle outside was.
He was the butler of the Xie family and had been a servant for several generations. He had seen great storms and waves, but he had never seen blood on his hands or killed anyone. Today, he had opened his eyes.
“Eighteen died, leaving two alive. One was mute, and the other had half of his arm cut off…He’s probably not far from death.”
The person with the broken arm had already soaked himself in blood.
He was saying that the leader of the gang was still cursing in his death.
” He’s scolding the Zhou family,” the butler said in a low voice.”It sounds like the Zhou family sent someone to scam them.”
There was no need for the butler to elaborate. Everyone knew about the feud between Xiao Baoxin and the Zhou family. He must have decided to take advantage of the situation and use the Prince of Guiyang to attack Jiankang City, collude with the bandits in the city, and spend money and effort to make them attack the Xie family.
Chancellor Zhou’s Zhou family?” “The Zhou family whose wife died?” Third Master Xie shouted.”As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Xiao Baoxin, implying that this disaster was purely caused by Xiao Baoxin.
However, he had implicated the Xie family..
