Mu Tan’s expression changed. “Young Master, let’s talk!”
Old Master Feng could no longer hold back his temper. “I don’t believe she really dares!”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her finger behind her.
Third Young Master Feng’s miserable cry came from the bamboo forest outside the backyard.
Old Master Feng’s heart trembled. “Shuo’er!”
He planned to rush over.
Wei Xu flashed in front of him.
Old Master Feng looked at the tall Wei Xu with a pair of bloodthirsty eyes and his heart skipped a beat.
Old Master Mu pulled him back and squeezed out a smile at Su Xiaoxiao. “It was indeed a misunderstanding today. We didn’t know that Young Master was coming. Otherwise, we would have gone down the mountain to welcome you.”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “That sounds reasonable.” Old Master Feng gritted his teeth.
Su Xiaoxiao said casually, “Let Young Master Mu go.”
“Alright!”
In the backyard, Mei Ji received the order and went to the bamboo forest to untie one of the hostages. She brought him over and pushed him to Old Master Mu.
Old Master Mu hurriedly hugged his son and took off his blindfold. “Son, are you alright?”
“Dad…” Fifth Young Master Mu was originally frightened out of his wits. When he saw his father, he immediately became confident. “Dad, quickly avenge me!” There were only three of them, and they were no match for this guard.
Old Master Mu could only swallow his anger. “Aren’t you going to thank Young
Master for not killing you?”
Fifth Young Master Mu was stunned. “Dad!”
The Mu family head gave him a warning look.
He turned around unwillingly and bowed perfunctorily to Su Xiaoxiao. “Thank you, Young Master… for sparing my life!”
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand calmly, indicating for him to get lost.
Fifth Young Master Mu almost gritted his teeth. Old Master Mu said to his son, “Go back first.”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “Did I ask him to leave?”
Old Master Mu shielded his son behind him and questioned Su Xiaoxiao,
“Young Master, what do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “I kidnapped someone. If you want to bring him back, sure. Pay the ransom. 100,000 taels each!”
The few of them gasped!
Old Master Feng shouted, “Cheng! Don’t go too far!”
Su Xiaoxiao said firmly, “In terms of going overboard, how can it be compared to you? As servants of the Cheng family, you all treat yourselves as the owners of the mineral vein! Let me ask you, how much money have you pocketed in the past few years and how much iron ore have you secretly smuggled? Do you want me to calculate it for you!”
In the end, she threw a few yellowed account books on the table!
The three big shots were dumbfounded.
What was the situation?
How did their account books end up in this girl’s hands?
Fifth Young Master Mu’s eyes flashed as he lowered his head guiltily.
Xue Ping caught a glimpse of his expression and grabbed his collar. “What did you do?”
Fifth Young Master Mu cried aggrievedly, “That person… that person… forced us! I’m not the only one who said it! Xue Ling and Feng Zixuan also confessed!”
No wonder… no wonder she pretended to be asleep and made them wait at the door for two hours. It turned out to be a diversion!
To think that they thought that it was a boorish act for her to capture their grandchildren and sons just to give them an opening gambit.
Who would have thought that she had dug a hole for them to jump into from the beginning?
They had misjudged.
How was this a rash girl?
She was clearly a cunning little fox with a hundred schemes!
That’s right, all of this was indeed a scheme.
Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be angry after being rejected, but in fact, Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting had already started to plan since last night.
First, Yuchi Xiu infiltrated the mineral vein and met up with their informant in the mineral vein to filter out the best prey.
Using today’s break-in as a signal, Yuchi Xiu kidnapped three hunting targets with his informant; the targets were then personally tortured by Wei Ting in the bamboo forest.
Wei Ting was good at extorting confessions through torture.
How could the three pampered young masters withstand Wei Ting’s interrogation? They immediately gave up their accounts.
Letting the three heads wait at the door for two hours was convenient for Yuchi Xiu to steal the account books.
She didn’t want to think about it at length. If she wanted to play, she would go big or go home.
This was what she called efficiency.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three of them whose expressions had changed drastically and smiled. “How is it? Do you like my big gift?”
The three of them wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h the account books back.
Su Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, “Go ahead and s.n.a.t.c.h them. Anyway, I still have many copies.”
The three of them had never faced anyone so head-on.
Before they could show their skills, this little girl grabbed their throats.
How did she think of that?
How did she do it?
Against such wily old foxes, one must not talk about morals in the martial world or rules with them.
Because it was all useless.
She had to be more cunning, sinister, and bold than them to catch them off guard and take the initiative.
Su Xiaoxiao believed that from this moment on, no one would underestimate her, the young master.
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, “It’s worth it to buy these account books for 300,000 taels of gold, right? Otherwise, I wonder how His Majesty will deal with them if I hand them to the King of the Southern Wilderness. I remember that people who privately traffic in iron ore will be beheaded. If the amount is too large, their nine generations might be implicated.”
The three of them felt their blood surging and wished they could vomit blood on the spot.
Old Master Mu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. “Didn’t you say silver just now?”
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “That’s because you hesitated about the price before. I’m a straightforward person. I hate being wishy-washy the most. I’ll increase the price.”
“You…”
The three of them choked on her words!
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “My patience is limited. If I don’t get the gold before dark, these account books will appear in Eunuch Jin’s bedroom..”
