Ten miles outside Daxiao Village, ten miles north of Chang'an City, two young people stood quietly under a big willow tree.

"King Jun, let's go to visit directly, will we startle the snake?" It was Li Bai who spoke.

"There are thousands of people in Da Xiao Village, all of them are surnamed Xiao, do you think we can find out what results we can find out if we go to investigate secretly? It's better to visit generously! Li Tao said lightly.

"This is in case they ......," Li Bai said with some concern.

"I don't think it's possible, the Xiao family is favored by the emperor, and they shouldn't do that big rebellious thing!" Li Tao shook his head and said.

Seeing that Li Bai was still not at ease, Li Tao smiled and comforted: "Besides, isn't there still Uncle Yue in secret?" You can rest assured! ”

Hearing Li Tao mention Pei Yue, Li Bai smiled: "That's right, how did I forget Master!" ”

Li Tao saw that Li Bai was so confident in Pei Yue, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, knowing that this was the case, he would save himself from wasting half a day of talking.

"Alright, let's go and send a post!" Li Tao commanded.

"Yes! The king of the county! ”

……

"Lantian King Li Tao? Why did he come to our Xiao family? Xiao Jingyun, the head of the Xiao family, looked at the post and couldn't help muttering.

"Daddy, King Lantian has been in the limelight for the past few months, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he won't come to trouble us today, right?" The one who spoke was a young man in a wheelchair, this young man's name was Xiao Tianshan, Xiao Jingyun's eldest son.

"No!" Xiao Jingyun shook his head and said, "King Lantian seems to be acting in a disorderly manner, but he is not the kind of unreasonable person. Besides, our Xiao family has never done anything that violates the law of the country. What is there to be afraid of? ”

Xiao Tianshan nodded.

Xiao Jingyun got up and said, "That's it, I'll go to greet King Lantian in person, and you stay and make arrangements." Don't let the guests underestimate our Xiao family! ”

"Yes, Daddy!"

……

Xiao Jingyun welcomed Li Tao and the others into Zhuangzi, warmly entertained them, and after they were full of wine and food, they introduced them into their study.

"Lantian King, there are no outsiders now, can you explain your intentions?" Xiao Jingyun stared at Li Tao with deep eyes.

Li Tao did not speak. just glanced at Xiao Tianshan, who was in a wheelchair.

Xiao Jingyun hurriedly said: "The dog is a person who knows the severity, and most of the affairs of the Xiao family are taken care of by him, so please rest assured that King Lantian will not worry!" ”

Li Tao arched his hand to Xiao Jingyun: "Because the stakes are high. I have to be cautious in the future, I hope the head of the Xiao family will forgive me! ”

Hearing Li Tao say this, Xiao Jingyun knew that this matter was not trivial, and nodded: "I understand!" ”

"Master Xiao. What I am saying today. Only your father and son know that if it reaches the ears of a third person......" Li Tao stopped talking.

Xiao Jingyun nodded and said, "Our Xiao family has always paid attention to commitments, and I promise you that it will never reach the ears of a third party." ”

"Well, I believe in you! Here's the thing......"

After Li Tao finished speaking, Xiao Jingyun's face was heavy: "King Lantian, thank you for telling me the truth." Although I don't dare to assert that this person is really my Xiao family now, I will fully cooperate with you in investigating this matter. No matter what the final result is, I will prove to you the innocence of our Xiao family! ”

Li Tao smiled slightly: "I believe in you." Master Xiao! ”

"Then please ask Lantian Wang to live in the village temporarily, if this person is really my Xiao family, I promise to find out this person within three days and hand her over to Lantian King for disposal!" Speaking of this, Xiao Jingyun instructed Xiao Tianshan: "You take King Lantian and this brother to the guest room to rest, you must be well entertained, and don't neglect the distinguished guests." ”

"Yes! Dad! ”

Li Tao took two steps and turned back and said, "Before the matter is investigated, I also ask the head of the Xiao family to keep my identity secret." ”

Xiao Jingyun nodded and said, "I understand, please rest assured!" ”

When Xiao Tianshan came back, Xiao Jingyun was still pondering.

Xiao Jingyun glanced at his son: "Tianshan, what do you think about this?" ”

Xiao Tianshan pondered for a moment and said, "I think Lantian King is telling the truth, this person may be our Xiao family, at least it is related to our Xiao family." ”

Xiao Jingyun nodded.

"Only by making every effort to find out this person can we clear the suspicion of our Xiao family! I think as long as we take practical action, King Lantian will not embarrass our Xiao family! ”

"Okay, Tianshan, are you going to do this with all your might these days! Be sure to give Lantian Wang a satisfactory explanation. ”

Xiao Tianshan frowned and asked, "Daddy, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Xiao Jingyun sighed and said, "I don't have anything on my mind, but I have a hunch that our Xiao family may face a catastrophe......"

……

The sky was gloomy, like a heavy cauldron buckled in the sky above Xiao City, and also buckled in Xiao Tianshan's heart.

Xiao Tianshan sat in a special wheelchair, his face sinking like water, like an old monk in his meditation. But his heart was not at peace, and he was sorrowful, angry, and confused...... All kinds of emotions, just like this day, overwhelmed him. His father, Xiao Jingyun, who had been the head of the Xiao family for nearly 30 years, passed away last night, but it was by no means a normal death, but ...... Be murdered!

As the foundation of the Xiao family, Da Xiao Zhuang has long been built as impregnable, and there are dozens of open piles and secret posts every night, and the head of their family, under such strict guard, died mysteriously on his bed.

Xiao Tianshan is calm and witty, and is known as the "son of heaven" in the Xiao family. But at this moment, the "Heavenly Machine" has lost his former steadfastness and calmness.

Xiao Tianshan took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down, now that the Xiao family is leaderless, he must not mess around.

"Someone!" He whispered softly, and issued the first order of the acting head of the family, "Send more people, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must get Hanqi back." ”

"Young Master Xiao, who is this Han Qi you are talking about?" Li Tao stood beside Xiao Tianshan and asked.

At this moment, Li Tao's mood was very unhappy, as soon as he arrived in Daxiao Village, the head of the Xiao family was killed. The Xiao family looked at themselves differently up and down, as if they had killed their family master, if it weren't for Xiao Tianshan's pressure, these people might even have eaten their own hearts.

Xiao Tianshan lightly beat his unconscious legs, and sighed: "Xiao Hanqi is the younger brother of my mother's compatriots, he has a loose and uninhibited temperament, and he sleeps outside all day long, and never asks about family affairs. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Tianshan couldn't help but ask, "Blue ...... Li Xiaolangjun, I wonder if my father's death has anything to do with that person? ”

"It's too early to assert, but don't worry, Xiao Gongzi, since this matter has happened to me, I will take care of it to the end, and I will definitely give you an explanation!"

"Big brother, big brother ......" Just when Xiao Tianshan was sad, a young woman came to him.

"Xiao Gongzi, I don't know if this is ......" Li Tao carefully looked at the woman beside Xiao Tianshan. (To be continued......)
