Planning to marry the third master

Hu Cong said to Chen Jiangting: "Let's talk inside."

Chen Jiangting nodded and followed Hu Cong to the living room.

When there were guests at home, how could Xie Yunhao not join in the fun? After all, the third child was not at home, and he was the oldest, so he followed them into the living room.

The two young men at the back, Xie Xinnian and Xie Xinshou, were bored, so when they saw the guests, they followed them to the living room.

If nothing had happened, Hu Cong wouldn't have thought much of Mr. Xie. But now when he saw this man, he couldn't help but feel the word "annoying".

I had to introduce him: "This is the second master of the Xie family."

"Thank you, Master Xie. This is Master Chen. People outside call him Master Chen."

Generally, the gang leader is someone who does illegal activities outside the family. It is also a very important position in the family. For example, the third brother is responsible for both business and illegal activities. However, the Chen family seems to manage them separately.

Master Xie bowed and said, "Boss Chen."

Chen Jiangting also said politely: "Thank you, Master."

When the two young men came in, Hu Cong introduced them: "I think one of them needs no introduction. The other one is Mr. Xie's eldest son, Xie Xinshou."

Chen Jiangting nodded and said, "Xie Xinnian has lived in the Chen family for a while, so he naturally recognizes him. Second Master Xie's eldest son is also a handsome man."

The two juniors bowed and said, "Boss Chen."

Hu Cong said: "Sit down and explain the current situation clearly."

Chen Jiangting said, "You arrived a step too late. Yang Ji couldn't find the person, so he detained the Chen family's young lady and demanded to exchange her for Madam Xie San. Today, the person fell into Yang Ji's hands."

"What!" Xie Yunhao finally heard it clearly and said, "My third brother's wife is really here."

Hu Cong didn't react much, but Xie Yunhao was startled.

Chen Jiangting continued, "People who are poisoned by the Gu are like puppets, and the Chen family's young mistress stayed behind to accompany them. Therefore, Xie San's wife and Xie Xinhui are now in Yang Ji's hands."

Xie Xinnian asked in astonishment: "Poisoned? Third Aunt was poisoned by a Gu?" He had also heard a little about it.

Chen Jiangting nodded and said, "The old man who planted the Gu is in our hands for the time being. In order to hold Yang Ji back, we have not handed him over for the time being."

Xie Xinnian couldn't help but said angrily: "Where are they? I'll go find them."

It's not that Chen Jiangting looked down on Xie Xinnian, it's just that this man is not yet established and is not ready to take on responsibilities. He asked, "Do you know who Yang Ji is?"

Mr. Xie didn't know either, so he asked, "What's the origin?"

Hu Cong said: "Protector General of Longxi, commander of an army of 200,000."

Chen Jiangting nodded and said, "Now there are five thousand soldiers stationed in and outside Longnan City, and they will not give face to anyone."

Second Master Xie couldn't help but ask, "Why did he do this to my third brother's wife?"

Hu Cong said calmly: "He is the uncle of Prince Hui."

Just a few simple words seemed to explain everything.

Second Master Xie's scalp was numb. It turned out to be a struggle in the court. His anger just now instantly wilted. No one would take his visit seriously. He said, "No, this matter has to wait for Third Brother to come in person. We can't handle it."

Chen Jiangting nodded and said, "That's right. Two days. Yang Ji can only give two days at most. We are holding him hostage. All we can do is to help buy time. There is no other way."

Hu Cong nodded. Indeed, if Yang Ji was in Longnan, it would be easy to deal with. If he went to Longxi, he would be a local emperor and have the final say in everything. At least here there are local forces that can be slightly restrained.

Mr. Xie walked back and forth, saying, "Where is the third brother? Why hasn't he come yet?"

Hu Cong didn't know where Xie Yunxiao was, so he said, "All we can do is wait quietly and help buy time." Then he said to Chen Jiangting, "Where is the Miao people? Take me to see them."

Chen Jiangting said: "The Miao people can't speak Chinese. They speak Miao dialect, and we can't understand a word of it. If we had known that there was a Miao boy who knew Chinese with Yang Ji, who was his grandson, we would have captured him together, and we wouldn't be so tied up now."

Hu Cong said: "I understand. Take me there. I just want to ask two questions."

Chen Jiangting nodded and said, "Okay, come with me."

Hu Cong nodded.

Several people took a carriage, and Qingyue followed Hu Cong silently. There was nothing she could do about it, she was very familiar with Hu Cong.

Before leaving, Hu Cong asked Xie Yunhao to look after the child.

Xie Yunhao said: "Don't worry, I can't let my nephew become a hostage again." Xie Xinyu will be the protective umbrella of the Xie family in the future, and there can't be any mistakes.

The group soon arrived at Yue's residence. The people in Yue's residence had just cleaned up the mourning hall and returned to the original state. The props would not be needed after the play was over. Sun Shangyue also returned to the house in the backyard. There was nothing important to do, so she didn't see any guests. She was exhausted during this period of time.

Chen Jiangting went to the secret room to pick up the person that Nanny Chen was entertaining.

The old man from Miaojiang was asleep when he was brought out. No one sympathized with him and they only left him with one breath.

Chen Jiangting simply said: "I'll leave this person to you. Don't bother with me."

Hu Cong nodded and said, "Okay."

Not long after, the old man was taken out of Yue's house.

This time Chen Jiangting did not follow, but said to Qingyue: "Do you want to follow me?" He was not as domineering as before because he did not do the job well.

Qing Yue said, "I will help convey the favor that Third Master owes you."

Sometimes there is no need for many words in the adult world. Chen Jiangting curled his lips and Qingyue turned and left.

The old Miao man was finally woken up in the carriage. Hu Cong asked, "Is the insect male or female?"

The old man from Miaojiang shook his head and said "eh eh ah ah" with gritted teeth in words that no one could understand. In fact, he was cursing and saying vicious words, meaning that, don't fall into his hands. If you fall into his hands, every one of them will be counted as one, and they will all be used as containers for breeding insects.

Hu Cong waited for the old man to finish scolding, then said, "Save your life first. I heard you have a grandson."

The old man from Miaojiang opened his eyes wide. This man could understand him. He asked in Miaojiang dialect, "Can you understand me?"

Hu Cong nodded and said, "Just tell me what kind of insects you planted?"

The old man from Miaojiang said, "Why should I tell you how much gold you give me?"

People die for money, birds die for food. The man in front of him wanted money more than his life. Hu Cong said calmly, "You'd better tell the truth. I will tell the truth for you. If you don't tell the truth, be careful that the entire Miao area will be in danger."

The old man from Miaojiang said, "You are so arrogant! Can you be more arrogant than the Marshal?"

Hu Cong shook his head. This old man was hopeless. But he knew that the bugs on the lady's body could not be fatal. He glanced at the old man and said, "I gave you the chance, but you didn't want it."

The old man was stubborn and still said that I would kill him if I had the guts.

Hu Cong waved his fan and remained silent. Everything here had to be handled by the Third Master.

We still need to understand the situation from the third lady's side.
