Chapter 448 Mr. Xu is fishing, the wise man takes the bait
"It's a little interesting!"
After hearing what Boss Xu said, Mr. Xu smiled like an old fox.
Boss Xu saw his father's smile and couldn't help but shudder. Since he was sensible, whenever his father smiled like this, some people would be in trouble.
So, who will be in trouble this time?
"Dad, what should I do with those people outside?"
Due to Xu Laoer's reputation, there were indeed many thieves kneeling outside begging for mercy. In order to make Xu Laoer believe that they really surrendered, these people even took off cleanly.
Perhaps these people deserve to die, but neither of their brothers is an executioner, so it is impossible for them to draw their swords at those who kneel down and beg for mercy.
"All tied up, tomorrow, take them on the road together and send them to the county government!"
"Okay!"
After receiving the instructions from Mr. Xu, Boss Xu quickly left the inn gate and went to find Mr. Xu.
Then, dozens of extremely vicious thieves quickly tied themselves up. In the whole process, everyone was in good manner. No one wanted to sneak away or do something.
...
The rest of the night was very peaceful.
Of course this calm is only relative.
Luofeng Town suffered this unpredictable disaster. The people in the town whose houses were burned down were sobbing on the streets. People were rescued, but they had no property left.
When the sky was bright, the fire, which had been missing for most of the night, finally slowly went out.
Many people entered the ruins of their homes, found the hidden gold and silver, and began to find ways to rebuild their homes.
Rebuilding a home requires not only materials, but also labor.
Mr. Xu, who came out of the inn, saw this scene. A flash of inspiration appeared in his mind and asked the second brother to stay in Luofeng Town. He stared at the people who surrendered last night. These people would help the people whose houses were burnt down in Luofeng Town to rebuild their houses for free.
There is nothing else except for the most common meals a day.
But even so, these people are grateful.
"Dad, I? Wouldn't I go home with you?"
When Xu Laoer heard his father's orders, he was stunned.
He has already arrived at the door of his house, but he can't go home immediately? Is this the matter of that door?
"Stay here and look at these people!"
Mr. Xu whispered in Xu Laoer's ear, "Do you understand?"
"I understand!"
"Dad, just take a look!"
Xu Laoer was very depressed just now, but now he looked excited.
Boss Xu looked at Xu Lao Er's appearance and shook his head speechlessly. Although he didn't know what his father said, he felt that his father must be fooling him again.
But it seems that only the second brother can do this.
There are more than forty thieves with these avatars. Except for Xu Laoer, others really can't stand so many people. Of course, their father must be able to stand it. But the problem is that their father cannot stay here.
Therefore, the second child can only be left behind.
When Mr. Xu and his group left, Xu Laoer looked at the thieves who were left in the town with a cold face.
"Don't say I won't give you the opportunity to reform!"
"You set fire to the houses in this town. Now I'll give you a chance to make up for it, and I'll help build the house."
"Do you do it? Your sins will be a little less."
"If anyone wants to escape, you have to see if he runs faster? Or is the arrow shot faster in my hand!"
As he spoke, Xu Laoer raised his hand and had an arrow.
Arrows flying!
After a moment, the arrow fell from the sky and fell to the ground with a family bird.
Xu Laoer didn't even aim specifically for this arrow, he just did it casually.
But this is precisely because of his archery skills.
After seeing Xu Laoer's arrow, more than 40 people had no intention of escaping. They were not fools, so why didn't they understand that escaping was just a word of death?
...
On the official road far away from Luofeng Town, Boss Xu and Mr. Xu rode on horseback.
"Dad, what did you say to your second child?"
Boss Xu still couldn't help but feel curious.
"I didn't say anything, just tell him to tighten first and then loosen, creating a chance for those people to escape."
"Are you going to fish for big fish on a long line?"
Boss Xu instantly understood his father's thoughts, but he soon frowned again, "But these people are all small minions, the only insiders, and they have all been silenced."
"Is it useless to let some of them escape?"
“It’s very useful!”
Mr. Xu smiled, "These people are all bandits to the outside world. But, are there so many bandits in our Xiangyi Prefecture?"
"Or, are there any bandits in our Xiangyi Prefecture?"
When Mr. Xu asked this, Boss Xu was silent.
There are no bandits in Xiangyi Prefecture.
The bandits and horse bandits still have some soil to survive in Longxi Mansion. Because they are close to the Northern Barbarians, they can attack and retreat or defend.
Since there are no bandits in Xiangyi Prefecture, where did these people emerge?
Boss Xu couldn't think of the answer.
"Dad, you want to follow the clues!"
"What's the point of following the clues? It's just a waste utilization."
Mr. Xu sighed, "This person is hidden too deeply, much more difficult than the eldest princess and the old lady in the Xu family!"
"It's not easy to deal with!"
The eldest princess is cruel enough, but every time she takes action, it is more or less on the surface. The people who took action this time only used a group of cannon fodder and a group of minions from beginning to end.
These people may just be rascals on weekdays. They may know that they are leaning on a certain force, but they are afraid that their leader is not very clear about which force they are leaning on.
But even so, their boss still cannot escape the end of being silenced.
Such meticulous arrangements and such ruthless decisions are not ordinary people?
Mr. Xu didn't say much.
He asked Xu Laoer to look at the minions, but in fact he was betting on uncertainty.
According to Boss Xu, the leaders of these people were silenced as soon as they stood up. But neither Boss Xu nor Xu nor Xu were found.
Mr. Xu had a guess in his mind that the person who took action was among the forty people. It might not even be one person, but a few people.
This can explain why their heads were so easily killed, but no one found where the person who took the action was hidden.
If his guess is true, then these wolves who are mixed in the flock will sooner or later show their strength.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these people will find opportunities to slip away, or find opportunities to assassinate Xu Laoer.
