In the past, Yinzhen had never suffered such humiliation.

When he was still in the capital, everyone praised him so much that they couldn't stop praising him.

Someone like Zhao Xian, a small merchant's son, dared to act so rudely in front of him. He was simply courting death!

"Master Jiu, there is no need to bother with him. If you are really angry, I will go and tell his father about it. I guarantee that he will be in big trouble." Since they are all doing business in the same place, it is inevitable that they have some dealings with each other.

Xue Jing still has some confidence in this.

After a brief thought, he had already figured out how to deal with Zhao Xian.

In fact, he asked Yinzhen this question just as a side question.

From the moment Zhao Xian dared to come forward to cause trouble for Xirui, he had no intention of letting him go so easily.

And the Zhao family behind him...

"The Zhao family is not a good family. Their descendants are incompetent. The head of the Zhao family is over 60 years old and still works hard outside every day. He just married a good wife and is related to the Li family."

Looking at the entire Zhao family, the only ones that Xue Jing would notice are the Zhao family head and his wife.

The rest are just lazy parasites who are nothing without the support of their family.

"The Li family?" Xirui couldn't help but frown when he heard it was this family.

"How many girls are there in his family?" Why is his family everywhere?

"If I remember correctly, Chen Xin's wife seems to be from the Li family as well?"

When their family first arrived in Luoyun Town, they relied on the power of the Li family to run rampant in the town.

Xiruike still remembers how much trouble they had brought to Xue Jing at that time.

The meaning in her eyes was obvious, and Xue Jing found it funny, but she still looked like she was waiting for her confusion to be clarified.

Xue Jing could only cough dryly a few times, suppressing his smile and explaining, "The Li family has many descendants, and the number of direct and collateral branches combined is too large for outsiders to calculate."

"Uncle Xin's wife is indeed from the Li family. Not only that, the wife Ru that Uncle Xin brought to Luoyun Town to temporarily live was also a daughter of the Li family. It is said that these two Lis are sisters."

Chen Xin has always had a good relationship with his family, so Xue Jing naturally knows more about his family's situation.

When explaining things to Xirui as a reference, I can explain them more clearly.

However, after listening to his explanation, Xirui's frown did not relax at all, but became even more twisted.

After a long while, he slowly squeezed out a few words from his throat, "Your circle is really messy!"

She really couldn't agree with the customs of this era.

Even though she had seen many cases of two sisters sharing one husband in the palace, she still couldn't get used to it.

I had to shake my head, force myself not to think about it, and focus back on the business.

While Xue Jing continued to introduce the Zhao family, the guard who had just returned came to Xirui to report, "Master, we found out that the enemy troops chased us all the way out of the city gate."

"At first, they didn't follow us closely. There were only two of them, so it was easy to hide our tracks. It wasn't until we reached the village that they sent more people to follow us all the way back."

As the servant spoke, he took out a piece of torn cloth from his sleeve.

This is the most common fabric worn by farmers in the nearby villages.

People living in the city rarely farm, and their clothing styles and materials are different from those of ordinary farmers.

This piece of rag can clearly identify the identity of the person who came.

Xue Jing took the rag and looked through it carefully, then nodded to Xirui.

Most of the tenants on his farm also used the same kind of fabric.

"Have you found anything else?" Just knowing their whereabouts is not enough. We haven't figured out who sent these people.

Xirui couldn't feel at ease.

The attendant paused when he heard this, and his expression became unnatural for a moment.

Then he pulled out another piece of rag from the other armhole and presented it to him.

The tear marks on the edge of this rag were obviously messier than the previous one, and it was obviously not taken down in the same way.

Xue Jing took the rag and examined it anyway.

As soon as I started, I found something was wrong. I moved my nose a few times and could always smell some unusual odors.

"What's that smell?" Xue Jing asked subconsciously.

The servant replied with a grievance, "The other side had several big dogs. We had to work very hard to get rid of them. We also snatched this piece of cloth from the dogs."

In order not to leave any clues to the other party, these servants dealt with the big dogs for a long time.

It was the first time in my life that I fought with a dog, and I won with a lot of effort.

Xue Jing held up the strip of cloth, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the hem of the servant's clothes.

The glaring crack was enough to show what a fierce battle they had just experienced.

"Thank you for your hard work. You will be rewarded when you return." Xirui tried hard to keep the corners of his mouth curled up and spoke as seriously as possible.

Then he quickly looked away, looked at Xue Jing and asked, "Raising a big dog for reconnaissance, is this the Zhao family's doing again?"

If this is the case, then it would make sense why the Zhao Xian brothers came straight towards them just now.

His family had sent people to follow them, so they were naturally aware of their movements.

What's more, the two brothers mentioned the task given by their father during their conversation just now.

Xirui reasonably speculated that everything that happened today was arranged by the Zhao family from the beginning.

Xue Jing lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before answering, "It's about right."

"Everyone in the city knows that the head of the Chu family loves dogs so much that he has to eat and live with his dogs. But few people know that the second young master of the Zhao family, Zhao Xian, is an expert in raising and training dogs. The dogs trained by him are not only good at guarding the house, but also very good at finding tracks and leading the way."

Since there are several big dogs guarding the people who are secretly following, they must be related to the Zhao family.

"Oh, I didn't expect that Zhao Xian is actually a talented dog keeper." Xirui raised his eyebrows and even praised him.

I originally thought that Zhao Xian was just a spoiled brat who relied on his family's power to do whatever he wanted, but I didn't expect that he had some real skills.

This caught Xirui's attention.

"Those big dogs have smelled your scent. What did you do afterwards?" Xirui asked the servant.

The attendant said, "We don't dare to alert the enemy, so we have to put the dogs down first and lock them all up in a small courtyard."

They had to come back to report, so they couldn't let the dogs go back and attract the other party's attention, nor could they kill all the dogs at once and attract more attention.

We can only deal with it simply like this for now.

Fortunately, Xirui nodded, obviously satisfied with their approach.

"Then let's pretend we know nothing and continue heading towards the city." After resting for a while, it was time for them to set off.

"But the destination needs to be changed. We're not in a hurry to go home. Let's go to the pier first and see what's going on there before returning." Xirui's words were meaningful.

Although everyone was puzzled, those who knew her knew that things were not that simple when they saw the smile on her face.

As their minds raced, they tacitly put aside their thoughts and prepared to set off one by one.
