    Xie Mangshan looked at Xie Congshan with a much colder gaze.


    At that moment, someone from the Jia family ran over with a flustered expression. When he saw Xie Mangshan, he hurriedly asked, “Did someonee to investigate you? I heard that someone was arrested at the ce where you used to work! They said that they had epted bribes and even killed many. They will be convicted!”


    Xie Mangshan’s expression changed, “Who are they arresting?!”


    “They arrested onest night. They said he has the surname Li. In the morning and noon, they caught two more! I don’t know what their names are. I heard that the authorities are still investigating!” The Jia family’s brother-inw added.


    Xie Mangshan seemed to have his blood instantly sucked dry. His entire body seemed to have frozen.


    Cmity, the cmity hade!


    “Brother-inw, how much bribes did you ept? Will you be arrested? I heard that Li received a lot of money and will be beheaded!” His brother-inw said again.


    Xie Mangshan’s brain was not functioning right now.


    How much money did he ept? At that moment, he actually could not remember at all…


    He knew that Li had been the supervisor for many years. Many of them called him Master Li in private, and they even heard that he had someone backing him. Now, he had been arrested as well…


    W-What about him? Would it be his turn too?!


    Xie Mangshan gulped hard. The sweat on his face kept dripping, and his entire body became a little weak.


    His hand gripped the door frame, and he looked like he was about to copse.


    He tried his best to calm down and think about how much bribes he had epted.


    He had only started to ept bribes this year, so he should not have epted much..


    Themoner did not have much money. Those who had money would work hard, so every time he took care of amoner, he would get a hundred cash or a couple of copper coins for those who were poor.


    Of course, he was in charge of quite a number of people. In that small area, there were about 20 people.


    On average, every day... he would only make one tael of silver, which was enough for a drink.


    Xie Mangshan was really scared, and his legs could not help but tremble.


    When that brother-inw of the Jia family saw him like that, he knew that the matter was definitely serious, so he stammered and said, “Brother-inw, look at my family now. We’re having a hard time. You both agreed to marry my daughter to Xie Pinggang, but this matter hasn’t been settled yet. That 50 taels of silver... Can you return it to me first?”


    Xie Mangshan red at him, “Get lost! Get out!”


    He was scared to death right now. This man from the Jia family actually had the nerve to ask him for money!


    “Brother-inw, it’s really difficult for us. Moving to the capital costs so much, but our family has no farms andnds. We need money for food and water. We saved very hard for the 50 taels of silver. My Sister said that the money will be returned. When the timees, we’ll double it. That’s why we...” The brother-inw Jia was uncertain, “Now that you’re involved in this matter, what if you get caught and your family’s assets are confiscated?”


    “What money?! Our family’s money has been taken by my Eldest Brother and sent to my Second Brother. It’s all gone!” Xie Congshan added.


    “Oh right! Brother-inw, why don’t you just beg Master Xie? Are you worried that Master Xie won’t be able to handle this little trouble?” The man from the Jia family immediately added.


    With that said, a glimmer of hope appeared in Xie Mangshan’s eyes.


    With an idea in mind, his brother-inw temporarily held back from asking for money.


    He knew that it would be difficult for him to obtain the money if he wanted to collect the debt at this time.


    After his brother-inw brought the news and left, Xie Mangshan felt uneasy. He kept his eyes on the door, afraid that someone would capture him in the next moment.


    “Eldest Brother, what the Master said...” Xie Congshan was a little uncertain.


    Was there really a cmity?


    The fortune teller was actually so urate?!
