Chapter 208 Two Hundred and Eight

Chapter 208

After Lu Songli and his men entered the city, they split into three groups in order to avoid attracting attention.

The people from Yang Wei Escort Agency and the Scouting Team's guard team first found an inn to stay in, and then two people from Yang Wei Escort Agency - Wu Ren and Lu Wei, who were good at dealing with people.

They went to find a broker, rent or buy a house, and then buy a property, anyway, it had to be done as soon as possible.

Along the way, their ability to do things has greatly improved. In the past, when they encountered things like renting a house, buying a house, and buying a property, they would slowly look for it themselves to save some money, and they would never find a broker.

But now they think that the Sixth Young Master's wife is right, time is money, professional things have to be handed over to professionals, and the money that should be earned for others should still be earned for others.

At the same time, Xu Zheng and four officers escorted the Qin family to the Xiangping government office for handover.

The official in charge of the handover in Xiangping was named Tang Yueguang. He was stunned when he saw the neatly arranged family of the Qin family.

He picked up the list in his hand and counted the heads again in disbelief.

Generally speaking, it is considered good if half of the exiled people are alive. This Qin family is also amazing. Not a single member of the family is missing, and they are all intact.

Moreover, except for a few minor whip wounds on the male members and a small number of people with pale faces, the others are in rags but not sick or in pain, and they are in good spirits. They rarely see exiles in such good condition.

Tang Yueguang looked at Xu Zheng and others in confusion. When did the bailiffs and officers become so easy to talk to?

But he saw something wrong at a glance. Wait, why are these bailiffs and officers so fat?

He has seen many bailiffs and officers escorting exiles. Which one is not skinny and dark?

Something is wrong. These people are not right. It seems that this family should have someone to help them manage, and these bailiffs and officers have also received a lot of money from others. The more Tang Yueguang thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was right.

Nanhai County, Panyu County

Xie Zhan looked at the word Panyu on the county stele pavilion and remained silent for a long time. Nandi, will this be a new beginning for their Xie family?

Xiao Hua and Xiao Yashi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, finally here. As long as the handover is completed, the hot potato of the Xie and Zhao families can be thrown away, happy! I can go back alive, happy!

The people of the Xie and Zhao families looked at the towering city gates, and new hope was ignited in their hearts. Although they didn’t know what would happen next, at least they didn’t have to watch their family members die on the road.

The core members of the Xie family were much more confident. The head of the family had analyzed with them before that they needed to choose one of the six major families in the south to rely on. After comparison, the head of the family was most optimistic about the Panyu Zhu family.

This is also the reason why the head of the family operated in prison and asked the people above to exile their two families to Panyu in Lingnan.

When they heard that the head of the family had a plan, they were determined.

"Hurry up, hurry into the city!" Xiao Hua urged them as soon as the city gate opened.

The people from the Xie and Zhao families followed the crowd into the city slowly.

After entering the city, Xiao Hua sent them to the Panyu government office for handover.

The Panyu official in charge of the handover checked the number of people and nodded with satisfaction, "No old people, no children, very good!"

Xie Zhan glanced at the man with an expressionless face.

Xiao Hua trembled in his heart, big brother, can't you think about this in your heart and don't say it out loud?

The people from the Xie and Zhao families were also very angry. The words of the person in charge of the handover in Panyu were too irritating!

Especially the people of the Xie family, who dared to be angry but dared not speak. So many people in their family died, and he actually said it was very good?

The Panyu official in charge of the handover stamped a document and handed it to Xiao Hua, "Okay, the handover is complete, you can go."

Xiao Hua put the document in his arms, smiled and said goodbye to the Panyu official, and then disappeared quickly with the remaining runners.

The official in charge of the handover was quite puzzled. Why did they run so fast? But this idea only flashed through his mind. He was just thinking about how to arrange these fugitives when his superior Cui Zhubu came to the yamen.

As soon as Cui Zhubu appeared, he scanned the people from the Xie and Zhao families, "Who is Xie Zhan?"

"I am Xie Zhan."

"The noble invites me, please follow me."

"We will go too!" Xie Nan and Xie Bai stepped out. They didn't know where the other party came from or what his intention was. The head of the family was their backbone and could not afford to lose.

Cui Zhubu took a look and didn't stop them. Anyway, the noble didn't say he wanted to see Xie Zhan alone.

Two quarters of an hour later, the door of the county yamen's living room was opened, and Xie Zhan pushed the door out.

Just as he was about to step out of the living room, the voice of the eldest son of the Chen family came from behind him, "Please think about what I said, Mr. Xie. After thinking it over, tell Cui Zhubu, and our Chen family will definitely welcome you."

Xie Zhan turned around, "I have a question, how did the noble chief know Xie?" He didn't believe that the Chen family was so well-informed.

Master Chen laughed loudly, "The name of Xie Lang has long been rumored in the south..."

Xie Zhan then realized that before he arrived in Lingnan, he had already been famous among the upper-class families in Lingnan.

Upon hearing this news, Xie Zhan's heart sank, and he felt that he had fallen into a conspiracy.

After leaving the sight of Master Chen and Cui Zhubu, Xie Nan called out worriedly, "The head of the family--"

Xie Nan knew that the head of the family's initial choice was not the Chen family, but the Zhu family.

Xie Nan only knew one thing, not the other. If Xie Zhan was the one who least wanted to cooperate with the six great families, it must be the Chen family.

"Nothing." Xie Zhan tried to calm himself down.

Plans cannot keep up with changes. Now that the situation has changed, he can only go with the flow.

He was guessing who was behind this. In fact, he already had a vague answer in his mind.

It couldn't be their Xie family's previous political enemies in Chang'an. If it was them, the other party would just trip them up on the road to exile, which would pay the least cost and achieve the greatest effect.

Moreover, the old and the new were replaced, the court was in chaos, and the political enemies were also protecting themselves in the storm. Moreover, there were countless people who were exiled, and only a few could return to the center of power. They didn't think the Xie family could do it.

Excluding the Xie family's political enemies in Chang'an, the enemies of the Xie and Zhao families were only the Qin family and the Lu family.

In fact, this answer also indirectly confirmed his speculation.

When the Xie family was exiled, the Qin family and Lu Songli were also on their way to exile, so they were unable to spare any time. Now they should have arrived in Xiangping, so they were free to do it.

Lu Songli should have guessed that he had taken action against the 100 hectares of land in Longcheng. Tying him and the Chen family together was her counterattack.

As the saying goes, your opponent is often the one who knows you best.

The reason why he set his sights on Lu Songli so accurately was not only because he knew Lu Songli, but Lu Songli also knew him, so they could calculate each other's weaknesses that could be attacked.

In addition, those people in the Qin family could fight, but in terms of conspiracy and intrigue, and calculating people's hearts, they were not enough for him to tie them up with one hand.
