Xining smiled. He originally thought that this guy was only good at acting, but it seemed that the thickness of his face was not something that ordinary people could match.
"Are you concerned about Yao'er?" Xining stood up, came to him and asked.
Zhao Xiang nodded: "Of course, I just heard that A Yao was bullied, and I was really worried, so I did something impulsive. It was my fault."
Xining put his hands behind his back and said, "You are worried about Yao'er, there is nothing wrong with that, but... you killed everyone in his attic, who will take care of him in the future?"
Zhao Xiang's eyes lit up when she heard this and said, "Why don't I send some to A Yao?"
Xining shook his head, looked at Zhaoxiang with a half-smile and said, "Yao'er has grown up and has his own ideas. He said he wants to choose by himself, but it takes some money to choose a boy. The treasury in the city is empty recently, and I don't have much money on hand. You are Yao'er's good friend, can you give him some first?"
Zhao Xiang smiled and replied: "Of course you can..."
Although he agreed, he felt strange in his heart.
Xining has always been generous with his money when it comes to Xi Yao, so why did he suddenly become stingy when spending money on Xi Yao and even ask for money from him
"We need more servants now, probably around 1,000 taels..."
A thousand taels?!
Zhao Xiang widened her eyes in surprise and the smile on her face could no longer be maintained.
Xining smiled and said, "By the way, Yao'er was frightened and needs to see a doctor. I'll give her a few hundred taels of silver."
"One thousand or several hundred taels?" Zhao Xiang stuttered, "City Lord, where does Xiang'er get so much silver?"
"Silver?" Xining smiled, but the coldness in his eyes was revealed: "Where did I say silver?"
"Copper coins?" Zhao Xiang was delighted: "That's okay... I..."
"Gold." Xining interrupted Zhaoxiang with a word. Zhaoxiang looked up in surprise, but Xining had already turned around: "Ajin, you and Master Zhao will go get the gold later. Any of his jewelry that is made of gold can be used to make up the number."
"yes."
"..." What does the city lord mean by this? He wants to take all his money.
"City Lord, I..."
"Don't you care about Yao'er? Are you not willing to make this little sacrifice? You've never killed anyone, but you care about Yao'er so much that you committed murder, and even killed a servant in the attic... Now you're not willing to pay some money? Or, in fact, you didn't kill those people because you cared about Yao'er?"
"..." Zhao Xiang was speechless. She had previously described herself as someone who cared so much about Xi Yao... that she was even willing to kill so many people for him.
If he is unwilling to give all his wealth at this moment, it means that he does not care about him that much... Then he has other motives in killing him...
Zhao Xiang forced a smile and said, "City Lord, you are joking. A-Yao and I are so close, so of course I am willing."
When he said the last word "willing", he was already gritting his teeth. Xining stared at Zhao Xiang's knuckles that were clenched until they turned white, then turned around and went back to his seat with satisfaction.
"There's nothing else to do, Jin, just follow me."
"Yes, Master Zhao, please."
It is called "retrieval", but in fact it is almost the same as "search".
As soon as Ah Jin arrived at Zhao Xiang's courtyard, he directly looted all the valuables in his room.
Zhao Xiang watched with a painful feeling, but he didn't dare to stop it. He didn't dare to stop others, and he watched helplessly as all the jewelry bought with the money from the attic were taken away...
