Wielding a butcher's knife, a seven-year-old wicked girl supports her family and abuses her wic

"Please feel free to speak."

As Qi Sheng spoke, he poured hot tea for the two of them.

Yang Xiaoman respectfully accepted the drink with both hands, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp before saying:

"To be honest, the reason Uncle Village Head and I came to visit this time is still about A-Ning."

What about Aning?

Qi Sheng was somewhat surprised. He had originally thought that Yang Xiaoman would ask him about the inside story of Yang the Butcher's death, as agreed.

But what she said left him completely bewildered.

But the next second, a thought flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously narrowed his eyes, saying in a deep voice:

"You mean, there's evidence now that Aning was kidnapped by bandits and killed by your uncle?"

The day before yesterday, Yang Xiaoman and her mother came to visit. After learning that Yang Xiaoning had been kidnapped by bandits, they blurted out that it was her uncle who did it.

Qi Sheng was deeply impressed by this and believed it without a doubt.

After all, Yang Xiaoning had stayed at the Qi family for a full half month. Although she seemed uncomfortable and was in a low mood all day, she never had the idea of ​​secretly running away.

Unfortunately, after Yang Chengren met with her under the pretext of visiting relatives, Yang Xiaoning secretly ran away late at night and was unfortunately encountered by bandits.

With so many coincidences, can it still be called a coincidence?

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman nodded, then shook her head slightly under Qi Sheng's puzzled gaze.

"There is no evidence yet."

Qi Sheng was stunned and speechless for a moment.

"However, it should be available soon."

Yang Xiaoman paused for a moment, then proceeded to recount all of her and Yang Cong'an's guesses.

"So, as long as we can find the sorcerer who spread the rumors the other day, and the coachman who took my uncle to Black Wind Mountain, we'll have the witnesses."

Upon hearing this, Qi Shenghan nodded slightly with a cold expression.

To his surprise, it turned out that what happened that day was not only Yang Xiaoning being kidnapped, but also Yang Xiaoman becoming the target of everyone's hatred in the village.

If there's nothing fishy going on here, then it's truly unbelievable!

"So, the favor you mentioned earlier was to ask me to help find those two people?"

Qi Sheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, picked up the slightly cool tea in front of him, took a sip, and asked slowly.

Seeing his reaction, Yang Cong'an felt a chill run down his spine.

Judging from this, it seems that the Master Qi in front of us has no intention of helping.

Yang Xiaoman hesitated for a moment, "If Patriarch Qi is willing to help, that would be even better."

Seeing the two of them looking like this, Qi Sheng smiled wryly and said helplessly:

"This can't be called helping. The person was lost at my Qi family's house, and I've been the subject of a lot of gossip in the town."

"When it comes to finding the real culprit, I'm definitely one of them."

At this point, his gaze suddenly turned much colder.

"Otherwise, people might think... that the Qi family is really so easy to mess with!"

"How dare you collude with mountain bandits to kidnap members of my Qi family? This debt must be settled."

After saying that, he stared straight at Yang Xiaoman, his voice becoming much gentler.

"Miss Yang, so you don't need to have any worries, let alone any repayment. Just tell me the sorcerer's name."

"As for the driver who took your uncle to Black Wind Mountain, I will send people to Niuchebu to investigate him one by one."

"If you really think about it, it should be done by noon at the latest."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an's face immediately lit up with joy.

He never expected that the head of the Qi family would suddenly change his tone and agree to their request without hesitation!

Yang Xiaoman pursed her lips, "Then I'll have to trouble Patriarch Qi."

She looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Qi Sheng's expression shifted, and then his gaze subtly swept over Yang Cong'an beside him, understanding dawning on him.

"Cough cough."

He coughed lightly twice, then looked at Yang Cong'an with a faint smile on his face.

"Village Head Yang, I'm afraid I'll have to be a little late. I have some private matters to discuss with Miss Yang. Please forgive me, Village Head."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong'an was taken aback at first, then smiled and waved his hand, saying:

"Master Qi is too kind; there's no question of neglect."

Qi Sheng nodded with pleasure, then stood up and gestured for Yang Xiaoman to follow.

He then led her through the connecting corridor to the center of the courtyard, in front of a rockery.

After confirming that no one was around, Qi Sheng turned his back to the artificial hill, then gave a bitter smile and sighed deeply:

"I originally thought that even with your ability to inherit Cheng Lin's skills, it would take you a long time to raise three taels of silver to bring Yang Xiaoning home."

"But I never expected that your strength would far exceed my imagination. To be able to fight head-on with the leader of Black Wind Mountain without being at a disadvantage, based on this strength, I'm afraid even your father couldn't have imagined it."

"I'm afraid you've been hiding this from him before."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoman blushed and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

It wasn't that she was hiding anything; she simply took a shortcut using the system.

Seeing her embarrassed expression, Qi Sheng smiled and waved his hand dismissively, "Let's not talk about that. Back when your father hadn't had that accident, he was capable enough to support a family."

"There's no need for you to show off your skills."

As soon as she finished speaking, Yang Xiaoman nodded slightly, her expression suddenly becoming much more serious.

"Patriarch Qi should understand the purpose of my visit today."

"Regardless of the hidden story, I want to know the truth. As for whether I can get revenge, I will do what I can."

hiss!

Qi Sheng gasped, then looked at her with a complex expression and nodded:

"This was originally an agreement between you and me. Not to mention that you have saved up three taels of silver, you have also brought Yang Xiaoning home."

"Just the fact that you were able to fight the leader of Black Wind Mountain already qualifies you to know the truth."

As he spoke, he paced back and forth with a conflicted expression, finally stopping in front of the artificial hill.

He was facing away from Yang Xiaoman.

"Your father...did not die in an accident."

"They were harmed by others!"

Looking at the desolate figure before her and hearing the thunderous news that reached her ears, Yang Xiaoman trembled.

Sure enough! She guessed right!

"Master Qi."

Yang Xiaoman swallowed hard, trying to suppress the turbulent emotions in her heart.

"You said last time that my father died on the day he became the Sword King."

"I want to know, what exactly did the head of the family see when he was there?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Sheng's pupils contracted, and thoughts flashed through his mind.

It was as if I could recall the thrilling scene from that day.

He pondered for a long time, then turned to look at Yang Xiaoman and said softly:

"Your father's death actually stemmed from a competition."

"It was precisely because he became the Sword King of Shahe County that he aroused the interest of that lord."

"So he sent one of his swordsmen to compete with him. Originally, it wouldn't have mattered whether he won or lost, but your father, who is usually steady and skilled, unfortunately lost that day."

"He committed a grave offense against the butcher in public, incurring the wrath of that official, which ultimately led to his tragic death."

He paused for a moment at this point.

"I still feel..."

"There are still some strange things about what happened that day."
