After being replaced, she changed from a miserable daughter-in-law to a lucky wife

Chapter 224 Why don’t you let me do it?

Yifeng had never seen his grandfather so embarrassed before: "Master, why don't you go to the backyard and rest for a while."

Xu Li shook his head: "No news from them yet?"

Yifeng: "Not yet. Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are not ordinary people. They will be fine."

Xu Li stretched out two fingers and pinched his brows, then leaned back in his chair. He had only been there for a short time, and these things happened one after another, leaving him no chance to breathe.

"Sir, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are back." A bailiff ran in quickly.

Xu Li stood up quickly: "Where are they?"

Yamen runner: "Just arrived at the door, will be there soon."

Xu Li looked at the two people who came in from behind: "How is it?"

Xiao Chiye glanced at the bailiff and did not speak.

The bailiff was very considerate and left immediately.

Xiao Chiye placed a stack of letters on his desk: "Take a look at these first."

Xu Li looked at the letters on the table with a puzzled look on his face, picked up one and started reading.

But the more he looked at her, the more angry he became. He clenched the letter in his hand and slapped it on the table: "How dare he."

Xia Wanniang found a stool and sat down: "Why would he not dare? You can see the benefits of being a protective umbrella for these bandits."

Yifeng picked up a letter on the table and read it. He took a breath after reading the content: "This..."

Xiao Chiye looked at the two of them and said, "Don't be so surprised. He has not been in Luo City for so many years for nothing. He allowed these bandits to establish a stronghold so close to Luo City."

Xu Li looked at Xiao Chiye with red eyes: "Why did he do this this time?"

Xiao Chiye looked at Xu Li: "He will be transferred soon, and he wants to make a fortune this time."

Xu Li was so angry that his teeth were clenched: "It's really a bargain for him to die like this."

Xia Wanniang looked at him: "What are you going to do?"

Pang Ming is dead now. Although they have confused people and made everyone think that he was killed by bandits, they still have to come up with a good explanation for the follow-up.

Xiao Chiye: "The spoils are not evenly distributed."

Xu Li raised an eyebrow at him, then looked at the letters on the table: "With these letters, we can say so when the time comes." After that, he looked at Yifeng: "Find a trustworthy person to report what happened here, including these letters."

Yifeng nodded and walked out with the letter.

Xia Wanniang leaned back in her chair and said, "You'd better keep an eye on Pang Ming's family. They should have a lot of valuables at home."

Xu Li walked out of the house and gave instructions to his subordinates.

Xia Wanniang raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Li who came back quickly: "It seems that you learn very quickly."

Xu Li was slightly stunned and then understood what she meant: "Or I will be exhausted all by myself?"

Xia Wanniang smiled at him and said, "I borrowed your government storehouse to bring you some things. The amount of compensation you have to pay is quite a lot. I'm afraid this government doesn't have much tax money for you to squander."

Xu Li raised an eyebrow and looked at the two of them: "We gained a lot."

Xiao Chiye: "I left one third for Porphyry to bring back. We have to do some superficial work after all."

Xu Li understood in his heart that if he didn't leave any of them behind, it would be embarrassing: "You guys come with me."

He took the two of them to the yamen's warehouse, asked the yamen runner for the key, and let the runner leave.

Xia Wanniang raised her hand and threw out most of the property that had been stored in the space.

Xu Li squinted his eyes and looked at the treasure in front of him: "Only two-thirds of it is here?"

Xia Wanniang looked at him and said, "It's too little."

Xu Li shook his head: "They should be tortured to death."

Xia Wanniang also withheld some of the items, which were not easy for Xu Li to deal with, but she could exchange them for a lot of things: "When Master Ban and his men come back, they may bring back a lot of people who were captured."

Xu Li just felt a splitting headache. The people in Luocheng had not been dealt with yet, and now some more have arrived. How to accommodate them?

Xiao Chiye didn't have a good solution. These women might not be accepted by their families, and the men might have a hard time too.

Xia Wanniang looked at the two people in a dilemma and said, "Why don't you let me do it? But I won't do it for nothing. I'll take a box of silver as payment. You won't have any objections, right?"
