Xin Yi drank tea slowly, smiled without saying a word, and glanced at Cheng Wu at the door.

Since she used the rank in the boudoir to greet herself, why did she call her in?

Let her provoke herself closer?

That's right, Xin Yi thinks that this Cheng Wu is here to provoke himself.

Cheng Wu's face swelled a little, this Xin Qi was really like the rumors outside, and he suddenly became aggrieved,

"Mrs. Xiao misunderstood, but I heard my grandson come back and say that there have been a lot of things in the yamen recently, and I think Lord Xiao is also very busy."

"Mrs. Xiao is still drinking tea in the teahouse so leisurely, and she was still chatting with other men outside, did Mrs. Xiao forget that she has a husband? Shouldn't I give you an explanation? ”

She frowned at Meijian'er, with a pair of eyes full of resentment, looking at Xin Yi faintly.

Xin Yi shuddered inexplicably, she ...... She is a woman, why does this Cheng Wu look at her so much?

Besides, she felt a little strange and asked, "Do I remember that I have a husband's family and what does it have to do with you?" ”

"Aren't you also drinking tea in the teahouse? As for greeting other men, I said this Cheng Wu, except for women in this world, men are men. ”

"Aren't you going to talk to men?"

It's a little inexplicable.

She knocked on the table with her somewhat impatient fingers, and smiled,

"Mrs. Cheng, are you my uncle or my parent? You're a monk and a Taoist, and you're too lenient, aren't you? ”

Cheng Wu was shocked beyond comprehension, he never dreamed that the girl of the dignified Xin family, Xiao Wulang's daughter-in-law, would speak so straightforwardly.

She stammered a little, "You...... You...... Unreasonable, kindly remind you that you actually live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......"

Xin Yi originally thought that this girl was quite wronged, and in the past, she could be agreed to marry by the fifth brother, so there must be a lot of things.

When I saw it today, it was exactly the same as those cautious women.

"Oh? Really? You are a gentleman, I am a villain? I think it's because I married the fifth brother, you're indignant, aren't you? ”

"You're married yourself, and you don't allow others to marry? Besides, you gave up your fifth brother by yourself, and now you are a resentful woman, do you know it now? ”

Cheng Wu's face was red when he was said, and the atmosphere froze awkwardly, and it happened that Zhenxiang and the guards came back.

Not only did they come back, but they also brought back the beggar, and at the same time there was an old sick beggar.

Cheng Wu saw that there were more and more people on Xinyi's side, and he was no longer bored with himself, so he turned around and left.

Xin Yi didn't give her a look, and asked Zhenxiang to tell her what had happened.

It turned out that when they surrounded the young beggar in front of the broken courtyard and wanted to catch him, they found out that the young beggar had deliberately lured them over.

Not only did he return the torn page to Maka, but he also explained the reason, and took Maka into the house and saw an old beggar lying on the bed.

These two men say that they are beggars too much, they are just dressed in shabby, and on the whole it can be seen at a glance that they are different from real beggars.

The old beggar turned out to be one of the pages on the page where the roster was torn up, named Xiao Ming, the grandson of Xiao Ming when the beggar who tore up the roster.

Zhou Ming said that he was just over sixty years old, but because of his sickness and hairstyle, and sick appearance, he looked like he was in his old age, and he left those eyes alone, although they were cloudy, he could see that he was a powerful person when he was young.

He knelt in front of Xin Yi, old tears,

"I served by the boss's side back then, and I was given the surname Xiao by the boss, and I served by the boss's side back then. Later, he was let out and became a shopkeeper. ”

"That time, the old man went to see the place where the displaced people gathered, and when I heard about it, I rushed over, wanting the old man to leave quickly, and be careful of infecting those people's diseases, but I didn't expect that I was still late."

"It's not just the old man who has contracted the epidemic, but even me."

"It's a pity that I didn't even see the last of my lords, and I was driven out of the capital with the homeless."

He knocked his head to Xin Yi.

Xin Yi couldn't help frowning, he was confused when he heard it, he was actually given the surname Xiao, then he should be a very decent domestic servant, he must have married a wife and had children at that age, otherwise he would not have a grandson.

It is impossible for him to be driven out of the capital so easily with the homeless people, and he is not a dumb and fool, he will rush if he says that he will rush it, will he not defend himself?

What's more, if the dignified shopkeeper is lost, will the Xiao family have no news at all? Xiao Yuanyou has been checking for so many years, but there is no news about this at all.

This doesn't make sense.

She motioned for Zhenxiang to help the person up, and asked someone to bring a stool to Xiao Ming, and slowly asked her questions one by one.

"Since you let your grandson lead me to see you, then you must have a plan in mind, we might as well open the skylight and say that it is bright, and it can be regarded as being honest with each other.

You don't have to test me in vain, I don't have the time, I don't have the interest, and since your grandson wants to get my attention, he must know what I'm going to do. ”

"If you don't provide it, I think your grandson knows how thick my roster here is, so it's just a little more time."

Xiao Ming's expression froze, and then he showed embarrassment.

Being able to find the noble person in front of him has been planned by him for a long time, and they know why he and his grandson will become beggars.

Now that things have come to this point, it is already a matter of life and death, and he can't be allowed to hide and hesitate anymore, even if he is wrong, there will be no worse than the current situation.

Xiao Ming gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Xin Yi with a plop.

"Ask Madame to give our grandparents and grandchildren a way out." He kowtowed to Xin Yi several times, and he was no longer secretive about the past.

"Back then, I was indeed the big shopkeeper sent out by the government, and that day I happened to be in the shop not far from the homeless gathering place, and when I heard that the old man went to the homeless place, I was scared at that time."

"Those homeless people are pouring in from outside, there are many people who are sick, the old man's body is already dragged down before, he is going there again, what if he gets sick?"

"Who knew that I was late, and I didn't stop the boss, not only did he not stop the boss from entering the displaced people's land, but he also sent an errand to put these people in order."

"Because I want to think of resettle the homeless, but I'll stay there, ready to see what kind of specialties those homeless people have, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, if they have specialties, then it's better to settle some."

"I never thought that just an hour or two after the boss left, some officers and soldiers surrounded the gathering place of the displaced people and drove everyone out of the capital, saying that everyone was carrying the epidemic and infected the boss."

"I was in a hurry, so I wanted to go back to my house to have a look, but those officers and soldiers didn't listen to me, so they said that I stayed with these homeless people and was not allowed to go out, and it didn't matter whose family it was, I would go out of the city."

"Those officers and soldiers are extremely vicious, they don't look like good people at all, there is no way, the people don't fight with the officials, I just want to go out first, and then come back when the situation calms down, but I don't want to, after going out of the city, there is no way to come back, not only that, the boss is gone, my home is gone."

"What's more, what's even more terrifying is that I later went back to the Hou Mansion to find out about my family, but I was almost killed."

Xiao Ming rolled up his sleeves, revealing his skinny hands, with scars on them that looked terrifying.

"I was injured over the years, but fortunately I was saved by this child, and then we depended on each other, he went to inquire about some news from time to time, my family is missing, not only that, but there are several places in the house where people are gone."

Xiao Ming stretched out his fingers and counted slowly, "A captain in the guard office, a Mr. Hu in the account room, and the steward of the mansion office, several of them, after the funeral of the old man, are gone." ”

Xin Yiben heard that someone was chasing and killing Xiao Ming, but when he heard that so many people were gone, he was shocked in his heart.

She really hadn't noticed, or rather understood.

Does the fifth brother know? Xin Yi groaned,

"Are the people you are talking about the people that the boss left for Yuan You?"

Xiao Ming couldn't help but look at Xin Yi with admiration, what he said was actually not very easy to understand, but he didn't expect Xin Yi to be able to ask this question to the point.

"Including me, the old man has prepared us people to leave to the little master.

crossed Xiao Hou and directly gave people to the fifth brother, which shows that the old man must be very disappointed in Xiao Hou.

Also, the son is a married woman, and he is willing to disobey his father's order to marry a princess of an enemy country, how can he not let the father be disappointed?

Xiao Ming's words shocked Xin Yi, when the old man died, Xiao Yuanyou was four years old? Five-year-old? It's just a little child.

The boss deliberately left these people to call Xiao Yuanyou, which shows that the boss attaches great importance to Xiao Yuanyou.

"These manpower, does Xiao Hou know now?"

Xin Yi felt that her brain was spinning uncontrollably, which made her feel a little shocked.

Xiao Ming had already heard about Xiao Wulang's marriage, and he also inquired clearly about what kind of person this newlywed wife was.

I thought it was a straw bale, but I didn't expect there to be some material.

Immediately,

"Xiao Hou knows, the boss clearly told Xiao Hou, because Wulang was young at that time, and he thought that when he was older, he would hand over the manpower to Wulang."

If Xiao Ming was hunted down and killed, and several other people disappeared, it would be more obvious that there was a reason for the boss's death, and the people behind it thought that Xiao Ming and the others knew about it.

Or, there can be a more terrifying idea, all this was done by Xiao Hou, he did it to target the eldest man, and at the same time to target the fifth brother.

There is no boss, the Xiao family is his master, isn't it now.

As for the fifth brother, why?

Hate the ruthlessness of Mrs. Tai'anhou? Or do you hate the boss and ruin the grandson he likes?

Since the kidnapping of the fifth brother had nothing to do with Princess Jinjin, was it actually instigated by Xiao Hou?

Xin Yi's expression gradually became solemn, Princess Jin Jin was forced to marry Xiao Hou with death, and the fifth brother was kidnapped, so everyone naturally turned their attention to her.

After all, Xiao Hou is his own father, isn't it?

So in the end, the kidnapping case back then, in the end, only a few inconsequential people died?

Xiao Hou, how much does this hate the fifth brother to do such a thing?

Is it true that you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart?

Under the gentle sheepskin, there is actually a wolf heart hidden?

Xin Yi couldn't help but shudder.

At the same time, she also had a headache, she didn't know that these things were okay, but when she knew, she fell deeper into the past and became more confused.

She had gotten along with Xiao Hou, and she couldn't understand what this person was like, but she also felt that it was impossible for him to treat his biological child like this.

The fifth brother must have carefully investigated Xiao Hou over the years, and if there were Xiao Hou's hands and feet in the affairs of the year, he would definitely find out.

It all started when the old man went to the homeless people for no reason.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know why the old man went to the homeless gathering place?" ”

Xiao Ming hesitated a little, "I heard that an official talked to the boss about the homeless people, and then an entourage beside the boss said if he wanted to go and see." ”

"Did he go to the homeless people and come into contact with people? Is it active or passive? ”

Xin Yi asked again.

Xiao Ming thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized, "I heard that the old man hugged a homeless child, because that child is about the same age as Gorou and very cute, the old man hugged him for a while and let go." ”

In other words, the gathering place of the homeless people was led by someone else to the old man, as for the child...... Xin Yi sighed softly.
