"Whoosh!"

The crossbow arrow was enlarged in Wang Xiao's pupils, and he couldn't avoid it, so he thought to himself with some self-deprecation: "In my impression, the Kong family has always had very weak knees, and whoever comes will take refuge in whomever comes." This time it's a rare hard time. ”

There were several people between Sister-in-law Zhang and Wang Xiao, and she saw Mirda deduct the crossbow machine, and sighed in her heart: "Mirda did a beautiful errand this time...... It seems that the task is going to fail, and the slave and maid have the responsibility of the Queen Mother. ”

Liu Zhongtong still knelt on the ground, hiding the confident light in his eyes, and thought: "Since ancient times, those who have divided the field and changed the law have never ended well. Wang Xiao, you go to die......"

Everyone on the field had different thoughts, and more people stayed there.

In an instant, the crossbow bolt had reached Wang Xiao's neck.

Blood splattered.

Suddenly, a bare hand reached out and slapped the crossbow arrow away with one palm.

Tang Qianqian's brows frowned slightly, and her palms were broken......

"Die!" Manchu shouts rang out.

Mirda quickly picked up a dagger from his sleeve and threw himself at Wang Xiao.

At this time, it was only a moment before Mirda detained the crossbow machine, and Geng Dang only reacted now, and it was too late to pounce on it.

The dagger stabbed down and made the king laugh.

"Poof!"

With a loud sound, an arrow burst out of Mirda's chest.

Liu Zhongtong was keeping his movements to get up, when suddenly blood splattered out and splashed on his face.

Liu Zhong's heart sank, and his eyes glanced at Milda slowly falling.

What to do?

At this time, he still had twelve henchmen under his hands, and Wang Xiao was close at hand;

However, the killer from the Qing Dynasty is dead, and I don't know how many ambushes Wang Xiao has.

- Do you want to do it?

Liu Zhongtong looked at the arrow feathers on Mierda's body and made a decision instantly.

"Grandpa Guo! Xia Guan doesn't know anything! ”

He fell to his knees again and kowtowed heavily......

~~

"Damn, I just got distracted."

Not far away was a large tree, with branches in its crown holding bows, and as far as she looked, Mirda had fallen.

Confident in her archery skills, she stopped looking at Mirda, glanced at Liu Zhongtong, and swept around again.

Suddenly? Huazhi frowned? And he took out an arrow and fastened it to the string.

On a tree in the distance, the shadow is suffocating? It's like there's a human ......

An arrow "whoosh"? The canopy shook slightly, but there was no other reaction.

Huazhi breathed a sigh of relief? When he turned his head again, he was so shocked that he almost fell off the tree.

I saw that Tang Qianqian had passed out in Wang Xiao's arms......

~~

"Qianqian!"

Wang Xiaocai breathed a sigh of relief? But seeing Tang Qianqian's pale face? The eyes are closed.

"Crossbow Bolt...... Toxic ......"

"If you want an antidote, search for me!"

"Yes."

The guards scattered, holding down the men brought by Liu Zhongtong, and rummaging through the dead assassins.

At the same time, there are guards in the woods who keep rushing out.

Sister-in-law Zhang peeked around? Secretly glad that he didn't act rashly.

Liu Zhongtong lowered his head and listened to the footsteps behind him? I am also glad to be ......

The next moment, a fire hammer was pressed against Liu Zhongtong's forehead.

Wang smiled and shouted, "Where's the antidote?!" ”

"I'm ...... I don't know, Grandpa Guo, the lower officials don't know anything about this matter! ”

Liu Zhongtong lay on the ground, his mind racing.

- So far? Wang Xiao may not have known that he collaborated with the Qing Dynasty Assassins, and he had no evidence. As long as you don't admit it? The Kong family can keep themselves......

"Where's the antidote?!"

Wang Xiao scolded again, and Tang Qianqian's head was already on his shoulder, completely fainting.

"Qianqian ......"

Wang Xiao picked up her palm and took a look? I saw that there was a wound on it, and there was already a black green around it.

He didn't hesitate any longer? Bow her head and suck out the blood from her wound and spit it out.

Suck again, spit again......

And then the flower branch rushed out? snatched Tang Qianqian from Wang Xiao's arms? He was so anxious that he shouted at Wang Xiao: "Is it useful to suck?" Where's the antidote?! ”

~~

Liu Zhongtong put his head on the ground and deliberately performed a trembling posture.

He wasn't too afraid, he had already thought about things, what Wang Xiao cared about was dividing the field, and as long as he was sensible, he wouldn't move himself.

——Dong'e's land can be given to him, is it the way of the official, there is a lot of discussion......

Liu Zhongtong waited for a long time, raised his head slightly, and saw that Wang Xiao was spitting on the ground, and an ugly girl was yelling at him.

- This girl, with such a big temper, dares to scold the prince?

Then, Wang Xiaoyi turned his head and saw Liu Zhongtong's gaze.

"Well, you're still there."

Wang Xiao then raised the firecracker.

Buckle down.

"Bang!"

Blood splattered.

"Huh, young talent?"

Liu Zhongtong fell down slowly, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"Fourth aunt!"

Several of the dead soldiers who were held behind Liu Zhongtong instantly struggled out and rushed towards Wang Xiao and the others.

"Avenge the fourth aunt!"

"Protector Grandpa!"

Geng Dang led the people to rush up, and without saying anything, the knife in his hand slashed down......

~~

"Ahh

Wang Jue screamed and fell to the ground, and a dead soldier of the Kong family was cut off by the guards, but he still threw himself down on him with his teeth and claws.

"Ahhh......h

Wang Jue closed his eyes and shouted until his throat hurt.

Blood was sprinkled on the face, warm and sticky.

Then, there was a pain in his back, as if someone had carried him and thrown him behind.

Wang Jue opened his eyes again, and in his sight, Wang Xiao in front of him held a fire hammer against the belly of a dead soldier of Liu Zhongtong.

With a "bang", the dead man's abdomen exploded, and blood spurted far away.

This picture made Wang Jue's cold hair stand up.

At this time, it was only a short moment since Mirda buckled the crossbow and Wang Xiao shot Liu Zhongtong, Wang Jue didn't even understand what was happening, and he didn't know who saved him, he only felt frightened.

- I don't want to go out with Brother Xiao anymore......

"Bang!"

Wang Xiao killed a dead soldier, turned his head and glanced around, only to feel that his vision was full of colors, and his eyelids were very heavy.

My head was groggy and my voice was muffled.

"Grandpa Guo......"

Wang smiled.

In a daze, Da Yu'er came from the grassland, sneered, stretched out her hand, and pushed him on the shoulder.

"Hongu won't let you go."

The darkness pressed down, and he was pushed to the ground by Da Yu'er.

……

Geng Dang was closest to Wang Xiao, and when he saw him staggering under his feet and about to fall, he hurriedly supported him, and then heard Wang Xiao muttering in a very low voice-

"I bet you'll give me the antidote......"

~~

The Dong'e County Ya seemed to have exploded.

Guogong was assassinated, Fanbei Temple was slaughtered, and the magistrate was killed...... For Hu Zhiting, the commander of Dong'e County, any of them is a fatal case.

Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't understand Hu Zhiting's anxious mood.

She's just a little undecided.

That night, she walked through the alley next to the inn until she walked to a no-man's land and learned the call of a lark twice.

After responding, Sister-in-law Zhang looked around and swept through the window into the room of an inn.

The gurgling Manchu language sounded.

"Damn, I got another arrow in the thigh." Tana said hatefully, "That ugly girl has such a great eyesight. ”

"We didn't notice her hiding there at first." Sister-in-law Zhang said: "The question is, did she find me?" ”

"Probably not, she's been on the tree outside the temple, dead girl."

"Mirda is dead, and the men sent by Dorgon have been wiped out." Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Now we are the only ones left." ”

Tana didn't care if Mirda died or not, and pressed her legs, gritting her teeth and cursing the ugly girl who shot her.

Sister-in-law Zhang said again: "The problem is, Wang Xiao is going to be poisoned......"

Tana rolled her eyes and said, "So what? ”

"The Queen Mother said that she wants to live."

With hatred in her eyes, Tana touched her ears again and said, "Are you going to save him?" ”

"What else would you do? The Queen Mother wants to live. Sister-in-law Zhang chattered, really like a chattering woman.

"We didn't kill it."

"But the Queen Mother wants to live...... It's getting harder and harder. ”

Sister-in-law Zhang sighed, feeling that there was something wrong with this matter.

~~

That night, Qiao Jiliang carried a hanging flag of 'hanging pot to help the world' and returned home.

Usually at this time, his mother-in-law has already cooked the meal, and his daughter will run to the door to meet him.

But I didn't smell the vegetables today, and I didn't hear the girl's play.

There was a little girl sitting in the courtyard, who looked only eleven or twelve years old, but her eyes revealed a ruthlessness and vicissitudes that children absolutely did not have.

Qiao Jiliang put down the hanging flag in his hand and called his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law twice.

No one responded.

"Presumably she went out, and this mother-in-law doesn't cook for the old man." He thought to himself.

Qiao Jiliang's eyes turned again, and he landed at the feet of the little girl in the courtyard, only to see chicken feathers and broken bones on the ground...... It seems that this little girl actually ate the hen she raised raw.

"Little girl, did you eat my chicken raw?" Qiao Jiliang was extremely angry and scolded: "I just pointed at this chicken to lay eggs, you ......"

Then Tana's eyes widened, and he shuddered.

Somehow, when he met her eyes, Qiao Jiliang was inexplicably frightened, and muttered, "I mean...... It's good for you to cook it, I'm ...... at home ...... with a stove"

"That's how the people eat it." Tana swore in a suppressed voice, hoarse as a saw.

Qiao Jiliang shook again, and said cautiously: "My mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ......"

"Do something for me, and they will pay you back."

Qiao Jiliang suddenly realized and muttered, "Aunt...... Girl, you have an ear injury, and you want the old man to treat you? Actually, you don't have to be like this, I could have given you this consultation fee for free......"

"Ears, you don't need to treat them."

"That's?" Qiao Jiliang stroked his palm and said, "Oh! Understood, understood, girl, dwarfism...... But the old man's medical skills are slight, and he really can't cure such a serious illness, please look at the girl, the so-called life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten...... Belch! ”

Tana suddenly burst out like an arrow, reaching out and choking Qiao Jiliang's throat.

"Old fellow, it's so annoying."

She roared in a low voice, and said, "The poison in Wang Xiao, Changbai Mountain, white-eyed belly snake." ”

At this point, she threw Qiao Jiliang to the ground, took out a porcelain vase, and threw it on Qiao Jiliang with an angry face.

"Antidote."

"Uh-uh...... Girl, you have been a doctor for a long time and are proficient in medical skills? Is this to ask the little old man to go to the National Salvation Gong to receive the reward? How do we divide this reward...... No, no, the reward is all for you, ......."

"Shut up! You dare to tell me and kill your whole family......"

~~

"The whole family is dead?"

Two days later, Geng Dang walked into Qiao Jiliang's courtyard and squatted down to look at the three corpses in the courtyard.

"They were all strangled to death."

Cui Laosan, who is now a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, was full of distress and sighed: "The governor deduced that it was Jiannu who gave this Langzhong the antidote, so I sent a few brothers to follow this Langzhong all the time, but I didn't expect the murderer to succeed." ”

"Any clues?"

"This Lang Zhong saved the Hou Ye and got a reward of one hundred taels of silver." Cui Laosan said: "The silver is still in the body." It shows that the murderer is a slave who works carefully, and the killing is to extinguish the mouth. ”

Geng Dang said: "I don't need you to say it, I know." ”

"Look at this fingerprint again."

Cui Laosan squatted down beside Geng Dang, stretched out his hand, grabbed Qiao Jiliang's neck, and said, "See?" The murderer's hand is much smaller than Lao Tzu's hand. ”

"This size, can't it be a child?"

"Maybe that's how he pinched?" Cui Laosan gestured with his hand.

Geng Dang gasped and muttered, "Chicken claw hands? ”

"Let the brethren check if there are any suspicious people in Dong'e County, especially children from other places or people with deformed hands."

Geng Dang nodded and sighed.

"Damn, it's been a long time, and there are a few fish that have slipped through the net."

"Grandpa Guo is fine." Cui Laosan asked, "Is Grandpa Guo awake?" ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't wake up ......."

~~

"Is Wang Xiao dead?"

"I don't know yet, anyway, the latest news has come back, and the person hasn't woken up yet."

Kong Zhenkan was talking to Sun Xingbi and rushed all the way to the Yansheng Mansion.

Now the news of Liu Zhongtong's death has come, but the body is still in Dong'e County, so the two rushed back from Qufu County Ya and Nishan Academy to discuss.

Yansheng Mansion covers an extremely wide area, which is larger than the county seat of Qufu. The word 'Holy House' is written on the gate, and the golden characters are shining and high-sounding.

On both sides of the lintel, a pair of couplets with gold characters on a blue background are even more extraordinary.

"With the country, Xiu, Anfu, honorable mansion."

"The same day and the old article moral saint's house."

In the couplet, the word "rich" is a little less, symbolizing "wealth without top", and the word "chapter" is vertically connected to the top, symbolizing "article to heaven", a faction that coexists with heaven and earth, and the sun and moon with the same light.

Kong Zhenkan and Sun Xingbi naturally couldn't enter through the gate, but as soon as they walked in front of the door, the pride of the saint's blood surged into their chests again.

- Yes, he is the son of a saint.

Entering the house from the side gate, I bypassed a 'saint's gate' and bypassed the 'Chongguang Gate', which was not available in the general eunuchs' homes, and was usually closed and passed from both sides. It can only be opened during the Emperor's patrol or sacrificial hole to the sound of the thirteen-fold salute.

Bypass the Chongguang Gate, in front of the lobby is the lobby, the lobby is used to read the holy decree, and there are one by one on the hall with a red background and gold official title archway, countless.

"Raiding the Holy Father of Fengyan, riding horses in the Forbidden City, the doctor of Guanglu Temple, the prince and the Taibao, the minister of the Qincha, and the ...... of school affairs in Shandong Province were ordered to be inspected"

The two did not enter the lobby, bypassed from the side, in front of the second hall, hung with the "Qin Cheng Shengxu", "poems, books, rites and music" plaques, is the Yan Sheng Gong to meet with officials above the fourth grade, for the imperial court to test the etiquette of the place. As for Santang, it is a place to meet outsiders......

The two turned to the west, passed through Zhongshu Hall and Huai'an Hall, and entered the South Flower Hall until they stopped and waited outside.

The whole holy mansion was quiet, but it was actually full of people, but everyone slowed down and didn't dare to make a sound.

Only here, I can faintly hear the sound of reading in the school house behind the flower hall.

Kong Zhenkan and Kong Xingbi didn't dare to talk anymore, just waited quietly.

After a while, a middle-aged man came out.

Kong Zhenkan looked at it and said in a low voice: "Yinrong, you are here, this is?" ”

Although he is a generation older than Kong Yinrong, he is very polite when he speaks.

Kong Yinrong, who had just come out, nodded, held his hands, looked a little proud, and said lightly: "You came to see the sect leader?" Wait, Deon is dead, and things are in trouble. ”

Kong Xingbi said: "Uncle Nineteen, Uncle Zong asked you to come, you won't really give the field, right?" ”

"Can you give it?" Kong Yinrong shook his head and sneered: "Even if we want to give, how can we give?" Millions of acres of land, hundreds of thousands of tenants, distributed in more than 100 counties in five provinces, is it clear? ”

Kong Xingbi nodded, he knew these very well in his heart - the Kong family's land was too much, so a 'Guan Gou Hall' was specially set up to take charge of rent collection, and the tenants paid the rent, and the account room was ticked on the household book, so it was called 'Guan Gou'. There are also tun officials, general armor, and small armor under the pipe hook hall.

The Guan Gou Hall is managed by Kong Yinrong, and Kong Yinrong will not agree to give the field. Because now he is the emperor of hundreds of thousands of tenants, giving and demanding from hundreds of thousands.

Kong Xingbi once heard that if Kong Yinrong went out and fell in love with the daughter of a tenant, as long as he looked at Xiao Jia under his eyes, he could do things properly......

"Uncle Nineteen, De'ang is dead, and the king is not good at laughing." Kong Xingbi reminded in a low voice.

"So?" Kong Yinrong said: "It is related to the eating and drinking of nearly 10,000 clans of our Kong family, this is the root of life, he wants to move, he can only fight with him." ”

At this point, he lowered his voice and said, "After the sect chief saw me, he saw Xingyi again. It seems that he is going to fight Wang Xiao to the end. ”

The Kong family is a hereditary duke, and they can raise soldiers, and there are '100 households of the Lin Temple Guards' at home, which is equivalent to the military department of the Kong family.

Now it is a troubled time, and the soldiers of the Confucian family have also raised more than 5,000 people, and there are 2,500 people who are stationed in the Confucian Mansion. The person in charge of the guard department is Kong Xingyi.

Speaking of this, Kong Zhenkan was startled and muttered, "This can't be a fight, right?" ”

"Uncle is shocked, where is the fight?" Kong Xingbi smiled and said, "Since ancient times, who dares to touch our Kong family? Wang Xiaoxiao? Is it too fierce to be beaten by Yan Agu? Fiercer than Kublai Khan? ”

In a word, Kong Yinrong also laughed and patted Kong Xingbi's shoulder to express his appreciation.

Kong Xingbi said again: "Presumably, Uncle Zong wants Xingyi to go and give Wang Xiao a little color to see, kill the son-in-law of Yan Shenggong, if we don't react, I'm afraid that the world will look down on us." ”

"Not bad." Kong Yinrong responded, too lazy to be stupid, said hello to the two, and left directly.

Kong Zhenkan looked at his back and was very envious.

- Kong Yinrong has no official and no lord, but he is in charge of the family's Guan Gou Hall, which is much more nourishing than his own Qufu County Commander.

"Ugh." Kong Zhenkan sighed and said, "If you want the old man to say, give Wang Xiao some benefits, it's good that the matter ends here." ”

Kong Xingbi sneered and said, "Uncle Zong has his own plans. ”

Kong Zhenkan stroked his long beard and said: "Our Kong family's ancestral fields and Tang Mu fields in Shandong have tens of thousands of hectares, all of which are free of grain and rent, plus Yinrong also uses other fields as grain-free fields...... Now that King Qi and Wang Xiao want to be based in Shandong, they are doing it like Yinrong, and they don't pay any taxes, how can people afford it? Isn't this just coming to the door? According to the old man, after paying the taxes, it is better to turn the conflict into jade silk. ”

"I'm afraid that the fourth brother-in-law is dead, and my uncle is afraid, right?" Kong Xingbi said: "Uncle thinks simply, if Wang Xiao wants only taxes, he will never dare to kill the fourth brother-in-law." Things are getting started, so you have to fight ......"

At this point, Kong Xingyi walked out of the flower hall.

Kong Xingyi is twenty-six years old, although he is in charge of the Lin Temple Guard, he is not a martial artist, his body is thin, his face is thin, but there is a ruthless look in his eyes.

"Brother Xingyi." Kong Xingbi bowed.

Kong Xingyi didn't answer, and walked out directly with a gloomy face.

Kong Xingbi and Kong Zhenkan glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to express their dissatisfaction, but just asked the next person, "Uncle Zong should see us, right?" ”

"Wait, grandpa has another little thing......"

~~

At the same time, Kong Yinrong, who had just walked through the side door of the Confucian Mansion, was struggling frantically, trying to tear the rope off his neck.

"Uh...... Uh......"

The curtain of the sedan car was lifted, and the corpses of the guards outside fell to the ground.

A pair of blood-stained hands smeared against the outer wall of the Holy Mansion, leaving a crimson in their wake.

Rows of black-clothed men passed silently with knives in their hands, as light as cats......
