The old housekeeper of the Xiao family is a man, and he has always been conscientious, conscientious, and abiding by the dignity and humility of the Xiao family over the years, which can make him so flustered that he forgets the etiquette of the upper and lower levels, and it will never be a trivial matter, so everyone was shocked when they heard him say something big. 1 novel.1.0 text version debuted

"What's the matter? You speak slowly. ”

Xiao Shenxing held the old butler who almost fell, and asked with a solemn expression.

"In the ground, in the cellar, there is a corpse!!"

As the old butler said this, everyone was stunned.

"Take us to see it!!"

After a while, Xiao Shenxing reacted and said to the old housekeeper.

As everyone hurried towards the cellar with the old butler, all the children and subordinates of the Xiao family watched the actions of several people strangely, not knowing what had happened.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the various side branches of the Xiao family that were close to each other had already come to the Xiao family's compound, but they were not allowed to meet Xiao Shenxing and Liu and others, and they didn't know what was going on.

After a tea time, everyone had already rushed to the cellar, but they saw two subordinates who were bored guarding around the cellar to prevent others from approaching, but looking at their expressions, they didn't seem to know what was going on in the cellar.

Waving his hand to repel the two subordinates, Xiao Shenxing led everyone into the cellar quickly, and under the leadership of the old butler, everyone came to a corner of the cellar, only to see a twisted corpse lying there in shock under a pile of food.

I saw that the face of this corpse was chopped up with a random knife, and the face was not visible, blood was splashed, and the smell of blood was fragrant, combined with the dark and cold cellar, so that everyone only felt as if they were in the Nine Hells.

Although they had been mentally prepared, everyone couldn't help but exclaim when they saw this corpse. Liu's face was even more pale, and he almost wanted to fall.

After a long time, Xiao Shenxing regained his composure and asked the old butler, "Who else knows about this matter?" ”

"Only I know."

Xiao Shenxing's grim expression eased slightly, and after pondering for a long time, he asked again, "When did it appear?" ”

"Just now, when the people from the Yang Mansion came to visit, they brought a few bags of Jingnan greens and some other vegetables, and I asked them to put them in the cellar, there was no problem at that time, but when I came to inspect just now, this corpse appeared."

The old butler replied, his face turning paler as if he remembered the first time he had seen the corpse.

"So, this corpse appeared when the people of the Yang Mansion entered the cellar? The blood had not yet clotted, and it was supposed to have just died. ”

Xiao Mo, who was following behind, interjected.

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, everyone nodded, and then their bodies shook, and they hurriedly turned to look at Xiao Mo.

When I heard the old housekeeper report that the corpse was found, I was frightened and hurried to investigate, but I forgot that Xiao Mo was also by his side, and only then did I think that it would have any bad impact on letting Xiao Mo, an eleven-year-old child, face such a bloody corpse.

However, looking at Xiao Mo's expression at this time, although his face was pale, his expression was still steady, and everyone was relieved. While marveling at Xiao Mo's composure, he still hugged Xiao Mo out of the cellar and returned to the main hall.

On the way, Xiao Shenxing kept telling the old housekeeper to keep secrets, close the cellar and not let others enter, etc., on the other side, Xiao Shenyan and Liu were worried.

As a strange corpse suddenly appeared in the cellar, and Sikong Min was going to Changzhi City early tomorrow morning, everyone knew in their hearts that Sikong Min was about to be in trouble with the Xiao family.

On the way, Xiao Mo called Xiao Yi to his side and asked what he wanted.

Back in the main hall, after Xiao Shenyan sat down, he eagerly asked the old butler, "Do you know this corpse?" But the people of my Xiao Mansion? ”

The old housekeeper's expression was still full of panic at the moment, and after hearing Xiao Shenyan's question, he shook his head and replied, "I don't know, the flesh and blood of that corpse's face were cut off, and I couldn't tell it at all." ”

Liu said: "Immediately count the number of people in the Xiao family, and if anyone is missing, report to us immediately." ”

"No need." At this moment, Xiao Mo finally finished asking Xiao Yi, walked into the room, and after giving the three of them a look, after the old housekeeper stepped back to rest, Xiao Mo continued: "I asked Xiao Yi just now, when the Yang Mansion came to be a guest, there were eight people in total, but when I went back, there were only seven people. That corpse should be one of the subordinates of the Yang Mansion, maybe it was one of the two subordinates of the Yang Mansion who suddenly appeared a few days ago. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Mo shook his head with a wry smile, and said: "It's a pity, that person's face was cut to a blur, and he has only been in the Yang Mansion for a few days, and not many people know about it, even if we know what is going on, there is no way to correct it." ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, everyone's faces changed, and Liu even slapped the table and said angrily: "Liu Lanfeng, this slut, actually harmed me!" ”

Because she was too angry, she couldn't help coughing violently after drinking angrily, and Xiao Mo hurriedly patted her on the back.

Xiao Shenyan looked at his brother and said with a wry smile: "It seems that this move of the Yang Mansion should be Sikong Min's plan to frame our Xiao family, what should we do?" ”

"What else can I do?" Xiao Shenxing smiled bitterly: "Hide the corpse outside? I'm afraid that the Xiao family is surrounded by spies sent by Sikong Min now. Destroying corpses? And it can't be silent and unnoticed. ”

"Why don't we take the initiative to report to the police to show our innocence?"

Xiao Mo raised his head and asked.

As soon as the words came out, without waiting for everyone to refute, Xiao Mo himself had already shook his head, since the opponent dared to put the corpse into the Xiao family and was not afraid of the Xiao family, there must be a follower, and the official was afraid that not only could not show the innocence of the Xiao family, but would throw himself into the net.

"It's just a murder, but it can't hurt the root of the Xiao family, but Sikong Min's plan should be to threaten the fourth brother with the survival of the entire Xiao family, I'm afraid that there will be something special about the identity of this corpse, it is not an ordinary murder case......

After being silent for a long time, Xiao Shenxing suddenly spoke and said slowly.

Everyone's faces changed again.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Shenxing glanced at Xiao Shenyan and Xiao Mo deeply, suddenly sighed, stood up, came to the outside of the main hall, grabbed a passing subordinate, and asked, "Have all the Xiao family members arrived?" ”

The subordinate didn't know why Xiao Shenxing's expression was so stern, and when he saw him asking, he hurriedly replied: "The old men in and around Changzhi City have arrived, but there are still a few masters who are far away in the countryside, because the distance is too far, they have not yet arrived. ”

Xiao Shenxing nodded and said, "Don't wait for the rest of the people, tell all the Xiao family members, gather at the Xiao family's ancestral shrine immediately, and the clan meeting will be held in advance!" ”
