"Coercion?" Zhao Mingsong's thick black sword eyebrows were almost wrinkled into the word 'Sichuan'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lin Qing knew that Zhao Mingsong's expression showed that he had already believed his words a little. But she didn't know how to explain it to Zhao Mingsong, because compared to Zhao Mingsong, her understanding of Guo Bo was pitiful, and saying that he was coerced was just a bold guess on her part.

The atmosphere cooled down for a moment.

"Judging from the current situation, the situation in Muhe Town is much more complicated than we expected, so we must be more cautious in our actions." The first person to break the tranquility was Zhao Mingsong.

Lin Qing nodded in agreement, "Originally, I was the only one who was hunted down, and now even the eldest brother has been assassinated, the two of us really deserve to be two brothers and sisters!" ”

"You!" Zhao Mingsong sighed half helplessly and half doting, "Please have a lot to do tomorrow, let's rest early!" ”

The two said goodbye and went back to their rooms, but this night, neither of them could sleep.

The next day, the two left for Xu's house in Taizhou early.

Taizhou was one of the few big cities in the Great Xia Dynasty, covering an extremely wide area, and Muhe Town was just one of the many towns in Taizhou City.

Speaking of the Xu family in Taizhou, the people of Taizhou City will almost immediately think of the former prefect of Taizhou City - Xu Huan. Xu Huan was born with a poor appearance, but he is extremely intelligent, and he has the ability to never forget since he was a child. He sat step by step from an ordinary peasant boy to the position of Dali Siqing, and this paragraph has already become a story talked about by various storytellers.

But such a person suddenly resigned from the post of Dali Siqing seven years ago and returned to his hometown of Taizhou to serve as the prefect of Taizhou. The reason for this has been intrigued by many people, but after all, no one can say why.

Lin Qing, who learned from Zhao Mingsong that Xu Huan had this past, was very surprised.

"I remember, the first time I saw Xu Huan, he had become a miserable corpse, I didn't expect there to be such a legendary past!"

"Who would have thought that Dali Siqing, who was once in a high position and dominated the capital, would end up in such a bleak end? It can be seen that fate is really unpredictable! Zhao Mingsong couldn't help but sigh.

Somehow, Lin Qing suddenly remembered his prime minister's father who couldn't even remember his appearance. "I ...... My father, isn't he also ......" also ended in tragedy.

Lin Qing didn't finish the last sentence, because she found that Zhao Mingsong's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Father-in-law......" Zhao Mingsong muttered, his eyes not knowing which direction to look through Lin Qing.

Lin Qing could even clearly feel the sad aura emanating from Zhao Mingsong's body, but she didn't know how to comfort him, so she had to gently pat him on the shoulder.

"Let's go." Zhao Mingsong's expression had returned to normal in just a moment, almost making Lin Qing think that everything Shicai saw was her hallucination.

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded as he said.

The two rushed to Xu's house, but found that the Xu family had already undergone earth-shaking changes.

"This ......" Lin Qing looked at the so-called 'Xu family' for a long time, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Mingsong without saying anything.

Zhao Mingsong naturally knew what Lin Qing wanted to ask, but at this time, he himself was confused and couldn't figure out his thoughts, where could he relieve Lin Qing's doubts.

Is this the Xu family? Lin Qing, who didn't get a response from Zhao Mingsong, couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, didn't he say that Xu Huan was the former Dali Siqing, and later became the prefect of Taizhou? Why is his dwelling so dilapidated that it is a pauper's dwelling?

"Let's go take a look." Zhao Mingsong said that he had already raised his legs and walked up the steps in front of Xu's house and began to stretch out his hand and knock on the door.

To Lin Qing and Zhao Mingsong's surprise, the lacquer-stained wooden door of the Xu family actually opened with a light touch.

After asking loudly several times 'is there anyone' and no one responded, the two threw confused glances at each other and then pushed open the door of the Xu family and entered.

The Xu family's mansion was surprisingly quiet, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird.

"Big brother, this place really looks like an empty house." Lin Qing frowned and whispered.

Zhao Mingsong's footsteps did not stop because of Lin Qing's words.

The two of them bypassed the stone screen in the front yard, passed through the lobby, and passed through a long corridor, but they didn't see half a figure.

"Wait, big brother, smell it carefully, there seems to be a smell of blood here" When he walked to the back garden, Lin Qing suddenly stopped Zhao Mingsong.

Zhao Mingsong stopped and looked at Lin Qing, and then followed the direction of her finger.

Next to the rockery in the back garden, a small stall of blood caught Zhao Mingsong's eyes. If you get closer, you can see several corpses stacked horizontally and vertically in the large hole under the rockery.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing couldn't help but exhale.

Zhao Mingsong slowly approached the corpses, first squatted down to inspect their injuries, and then stained some blood and sent it to the tip of his nose to sniff lightly, with his years of experience as a head catcher and a servant, he could almost conclude that these people on the ground would not die for more than an hour.

"Xu Daren only had one son before his death, and he had disappeared a few years ago, so when Xu died, his wife and mother and slaves lived a very poor life. Lord Xu was a good friend of my father-in-law before his death, so when I was in Muhe Town, I occasionally came to visit and help them, but I didn't expect that when I said goodbye, it was already yin and yang. Zhao Mingsong said as he opened his eyes for an old woman with gray temples and a withered appearance.

"What kind of person is so ruthless, even the old man who has no power to restrain the chicken!" Lin Qing's face was hateful, and his two fists clenched with a clenching sound.

"This group of people will definitely pay for their actions!" Zhao Mingsong said in a hoarse voice, and after speaking, he got up and began to walk towards the study of the Xu Mansion.

Lin Qing didn't stay in place for any longer, but quickly followed Zhao Mingsong's steps.

Zhao Mingsong rummaged in the study for a long time, but found nothing.

Seeing Zhao Mingsong's sad face, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "What is the eldest brother looking for?" ”

"Information about the wrongful conviction of my father-in-law seven years ago, as well as the edict of the former emperor."

I don't know how many times I heard the words of the emperor's edict, Lin Qing was already surprised in his heart, and nodded to Zhao Mingsong silently and didn't say anything more.

"Wait."

Just as Lin Qing was about to start helping Zhao Mingsong rummage together, he heard Zhao Mingsong suddenly shout.

"Someone's coming, hide!" Zhao Mingsong lowered his voice and admonished, and while he was speaking, the others had quickly jumped on the beam.

Lin Qing didn't know why, but he still jumped on the beam of the house and hid. Thanks to the fact that she had practiced the technique of climbing the house beam because of the need for stealing, otherwise she might not have been able to go up for a while.

In a short time, a series of footsteps came from far and near, and in the blink of an eye, they were already outside the study.

I only heard a 'bang', and the door of the study was suddenly pushed open. (To be continued.) )
