Chapter 430: When Dogs Bite, Look at Their Owners!

n say you are barbarians' spies, trying to infiltrate Jiangnan!”He was just speaking off the cuff, and after he said it, he thought the reason was really good.Then, with a wave of his hand, he ordered...Tao Hongying got a delivery of flour, and immediately headed to the kitchen. She started concocting a new dish with her helper Shuiyun by her side.

When it was ready, she excitedly brought half a bowl into the house and urged her mother-in-law to try it, like a child proudly showing off a treasure. "Mother, try the cherry pork I made! It's especially delicious, both sweet and sour!"

Li Laotai was coaxed into a smile by her daughter-in-law and didn't even wait for her to reply.

Jia Yin, catching the scent, sat up straight. Seeing her mother and grandmother sneakily eating, she immediately crawled over and snuggled into her grandmother's arms, closing her eyes and opening wide her mouth...

Li Laotai and Tao Hongying were so amused by Jia Yin's appearance that their stomachs ached with laughter.

They were truly defeated by this gluttonous little chubby girl!

Tao Hongying was just about to throw a wet towel at her daughter to wake her up when the two personal guards returned.

When Li Laotai heard that her eldest son was going to have Gong Yunshu acknowledge the token, she got up and went next door.

Jia Yin saw that there was a lively scene, and she also opened her eyes, quickly getting down to the ground. She took half a bowl of cherry meat and walked while eating.

Tao Hongying was afraid that her daughter would go out and catch a cold, so she stopped Jiayin and said, "Funiu'er, Mama was too tired from getting up early to roast duck. I can't walk anymore. You accompany Mama for a while."

After the lord ate breakfast, he went back to his camp. Tao Hongying remembered that most of her family had already eaten roast duck and left the lord behind.

So, she got up in the middle of the night and roasted three more, steamed flatbread, and cut the side dishes.

At breakfast, the lord and his family each ate a portion of it with millet porridge.

She packed the remaining two, along with the flatbread and side dishes, into a lunchbox and gave it to her personal guard to take to the camp on the docks.

Actually, she wasn't overly tired or sleepy at the moment, but when dealing with her best friend, pretending to be exhausted was always the most effective tactic.

As expected, Jiayin immediately climbed onto the kang, held a pillow, pulled the quilt, and helped her mother lie down. Then she sat beside her mother and happily ate from a small bowl.

Tao Hongying reached out half a circle to embrace her daughter, originally wanting to coax her to talk, but perhaps the kang head was too warm, she actually fell asleep...

In the next room at Cui's house, Gong Yunshu took the bracelet and said with a complicated expression: "This really belonged to my grandmother. I heard that when my grandfather passed the imperial examination, he bought it for her. She wouldn't take it off even when she bathed."

After a moment's hesitation, she finally asked, "Where did my grandmother get hidden by my uncle How did she give this bracelet to you"

Two guards looked at Li Lao Tai and Li Lao Er. They had already briefly talked on the road earlier.

Li Lao Tai felt a pang of sympathy, but she still spoke, “I heard that your grandmother was hidden in a wooden house on the mountain. When our family found her this morning, she had already starved to death…”

starving

Gong Yunshu's bracelet clattered to the ground, and she stared blankly for a long time without moving.

Gong Yu started crying instead. When his family went through a big change, he was still young. His grandmother had only recently started scolding and hitting him; for the past few years, she had treated him like a precious jewel.

At this moment, hearing that his grandmother had been starved to death, he couldn't bear it any longer and struggled out of bed to go look for her.

As a result, Gong Yunshu stopped him.

Elder Li saw her lips trembling, trying several times but couldn't make a sound, she also sighed.

Then, she stood up and said: "You guys don't have to be too sad, some things are chosen by yourself, no one can blame anyone. This matter still needs to be investigated, and we will let you know when there is news."

Having said that, she left with Li Laoer and her two personal soldiers.

Two bodyguards were going back to Aoking Town, and Li Er said, “Mother, I want to go to Aoking Town too. My elder brother must be wrapping things up; I'll go help him.”

Of course, Old Mrs. Li couldn't stop him.

At the bottom of it all, this is all about getting to the second son. They schemed and plotted against him because he's the main character!

Old Mrs. Li nodded and said, "Go ahead, but be careful and discreet. Even if you can't find the person behind this, don't panic. We're not afraid to live a humble life, but you absolutely cannot get hurt!"

"Mother, rest assured, we will go early and return early." Li Laer said as he was about to ride a horse with his personal soldiers.

Coincidentally, at this time, Li Lao Si actually brought four soldiers back from outside. After saying a few words briefly, he turned around and went to Aoki Town with the second brother.

At this time, in the face of outside scheming, it is precisely the time when brothers should stand together...

Li Zhensheng stayed in Aoki Town for a day, and he even investigated the details of the hooligans and the Gong family clan, even determining their locations.

Seeing that his second and fourth younger brothers were coming, he had enough people. He said, "For these past few days, I haven't stopped inquiring about the owner of the Seasons如意 Gambling House. It's true that they have no grievances with our family, and even have nothing to do with the Cui family, Liu family, or the Marquis's place.

"And this casino is usually low-key, compared to others, it's quite measured in its actions. So, it must be this Mr. Bao who's in charge, causing trouble from within.

"

But if the dog raised at home bites someone, we still have to talk to its owner. We'll arrest whoever needs to be arrested and collect all the evidence we can get. We'll strive to enter the new city before the gates close!

"Okay, we'll listen to Big Brother." Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si both agreed, saying it at the same time.

Soon, they went their separate ways!

Several men from the Gong family, who were the ones who almost beat up Gong Yunshu and her brother on the street earlier, have all been arrested.

Even Liu Fatty, the hooligan who liked to drink at home, was knocked unconscious by a club.

All of them were packed into a carriage, and someone was sent to the two guards on the mountain with a message, instructing them to watch over the wooden house. Then everyone rushed into the city.

Li Zhensheng had lived in Xindu for over a decade. It wouldn't be difficult for him to smuggle a few people into the city by carriage.

Even the crowd's horseshoes wedged under the vehicle board were successfully brought in...

As the sun set, the bustling city, once crowded with people, gradually fell silent. But in some places, the excitement was just beginning.

The Four Seasons Gambling House was located in the north of the city. It used to be a tavern, not very large, with some tables, chairs, and benches inside.

Groups of men, old and young, some dressed in fine clothes, others ragged and dirty, were all crowded around several tables, shouting at each other with their necks strained, veins throbbing on their foreheads.

It was as if their shouts held such power that the dice could turn according to their will!

In the casino's backyard, several bodyguards stood guard, chewing on cigarette butts and idly chatting.

Someone asked, "Will the host come over tonight I see the neighbor's lights are on!"

Another person's expression had a hint of lust, and whispered with a smile: "Here comes the widow from the alley behind, she's drinking now. It's probably going to be windy and rainy tonight."

"Bah," the man scoffed earlier, "that's called flipping heaven and earth! It's really a windstorm and downpour, people are freezing to death, what else could they possibly be doing"

"Haha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Two people cuddling together will keep each other warm." Someone else added.

Made everyone laugh in a creepy way.

They were making light of the situation, unaware that their host's house next door actually had fine wine and delicious food, beautiful women, but most importantly, a gleaming saber resting at his throat...s happening outside the courtyard, because the guards' intervention has already sparked a public opinion war against the royal family.Only when they got back to the main house and the west wing did Li...
