In the Taishi Mansion of Yanjing City, the white clouds are like clouds, wailing all over the house.

The death of Taishi Xiao is almost equivalent to a catastrophe for the Xiao family, which is like the trunk of a big tree collapsing, leaving only branches and leaves, and it is really difficult to survive without the branches and leaves of the trunk.

Almost all of the Xiao faction officials felt hopeless.

And what makes people angry is that Taishi Xiao was not only stabbed, but also had no whereabouts for his head.

After the local officials received a report from the people that day, they did not know that it was Xiao Taishi who was killed, and led the officials to the scene, and saw a hellish scene of Shura.

There were forty-two corpses at the scene, including a headless corpse, and naturally they didn't find any traces of Busugan and those knights of the Wind Country, which were all cleaned up.

This is, of course, a big case.

The local officials knew that the stakes were so high that they could not recognize the headless corpse, but they knew that this group of people was by no means simple, so they immediately went to the capital to report quickly, and Xiao Wanchang of the Criminal Department got the news, and when he heard the description, his soul was scattered, and he led a large number of officials of the Criminal Department to the local yamen overnight, and saw the corpses that had been collected, and even saw the corpse of Xiao Taishi who had no head.

Xiao Wanchang almost fainted at that time.

His heart was full of anger and horror, but he couldn't let Taishi Xiao's body be left like this, so he immediately ordered the local yamen to find a coffin and transport the bodies of Taishi Xiao and Steward Xiao back to Beijing, while the bodies of the Thirteen Swordsmen and the Shadow Guards were buried locally.

After Xiao Taishi's body returned to Beijing, the Criminal Department released the news that Taishi was assassinated, and the whole capital was shocked, Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Tongguang both cried loudly, but they had to rush to bury Xiao Taishi and Xiao Steward and set up a mourning hall.

Countless officials of the Xiao family rushed to the Taishi Mansion, crying and screaming, and the emperor made a decree that Dali Temple and the Criminal Department should try their best to track down the assassin and make sure to find the mastermind murderer.

On the one hand, Xiao Wanchang arranged for the officials of the Criminal Department to track down the clues, but on the other hand, he had to hold a funeral for Xiao Taishi.

……

"Lord Tobe Shohan has arrived!"

Outside the Taishi Mansion, there was a loud shout, and the Xiao clan and officials in the courtyard and inside and outside the mourning hall immediately turned their eyes to the gate, and for some reason, almost everyone's eyes showed anger and resentment at this moment.

Taishi Xiao was stabbed, and in the hearts of most people, one of the most likely masterminds is naturally Han Xuandao.

Han Xuandao was dressed in an official uniform and entered the door, and someone next to him presented a strip of white cloth, and Han Cang, the commander of the loyal battalion beside Han Xuandao, took the strip of white cloth and tied it on his arm for Han Xuandao.

Han Xuandao's expression was solemn, his steps were heavy, and he slowly walked towards the mourning hall, Han Cang's face was expressionless, and he followed beside him.

The officials on both sides stared at Han Xuandao's father and son, and some of them looked at the father and son as if they were about to tear the father and son apart.

When Han Xuandao entered the mourning hall, he saw Xiao Huaijin and several other immediate family members in the mourning hall, and Xiao Huaijin and the others also became quite embarrassed the moment Han Xuandao entered the mourning hall.

Han Xuandao stepped forward slowly and arched his hand: "The Taishi unfortunately died tragically, and several festivals have changed!" ”

Xiao Huaijin clenched his fists, his eyes were split, and he said hatefully: "Mourning is wanted, but it will never be by the way." My father died tragically, if I can't kill the real culprit behind the scenes, I Xiao Huaijin swear not to be a person! ”

Han Xuandao nodded and said: "Xuandao also thinks the same, although Xuandao manages the household department, but if you are useful to my Han Xuandao's place, even if you open your mouth, we must find out the real culprit behind the scenes and bring him to justice!" ”

"You hypocrite, hypocrite!" Suddenly, a voice shouted, "Grandpa's death was done by you!" In the middle of the words, a person suddenly rushed out from behind Xiao Huaijin, fast and urgent, holding a head in his hand, and stabbed straight into Han Xuandao's throat without hesitation.

This change was extremely sudden, and everyone in the mourning hall was taken aback.

Seeing that the one was about to stab Han Xuandao, Han Cang beside Han Xuandao had already reached out and shot like lightning, and instantly grabbed the wrist of the arm holding the head, pinched it hard, and heard a cry of "ouch", the one had fallen to the ground, Han Cang immediately pulled it sideways, and the children of the Han family were extremely powerful.

Han Cang looked at the man coldly, and said lightly: "In the future, you have to be careful when you talk and do something, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The person who suddenly made a move was naturally Xiao Huaijin's son Xiao Mingtang.

Xiao Mingtang was young and vigorous, and he believed that Taishi Xiao's death was related to Han Xuandao, so when he saw Han Xuandao enter the mourning hall, he immediately had the idea of killing Han Xuandao to avenge Taishi Xiao.

Xiao Mingtang was lying on the ground, Han Xuandao glanced at Han Cang, and said coldly: "Stand down!" He stepped forward and wanted to help Xiao Mingtang up, but Xiao Mingtang stretched out his hand and pushed away hatefully, and said to himself: "Han Xuandao, you don't want to be hypocritical here, you are afraid of your grandfather, so you sent someone to assassinate him, do you think we really don't know?" ”

Han Xuandao stood up, his expression gloomy, looked at Xiao Wanchang who was speechless next to Xiao Huaijin, and sighed: "Xuandao knows that you and I had a lot of problems in the past, but Taishi Kuanren, the past grievances between you and me have turned into friendship. Now that the Taishi has returned to his hometown, Xuan Dao only hopes that his old man can spend his old age in peace and never have any harm in mind. Whether you believe it or not, Xuan Dao is definitely not what you think, and he is the real culprit behind the assassination of Taishi. Xuandao ...... I have a clear conscience, and my Han family will definitely do their best to investigate who is behind the scenes, I want to see if someone wants to deliberately provoke the contradiction between you and me! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately frowned.

Han Xuandao's expression was solemn, and his words were heavy and serious, and there was a strange light in his eyes, which made several people suddenly have some doubts in their hearts, could it be that Han Xuandao really had nothing to do with this matter?

Han Xuandao's last sentence was very important.

Taishi Xiao was stabbed, and the first thing that most people thought of was Han Xuandao, so did someone deliberately take advantage of this to make the two families re-enter the state of fighting?

Xiao Wanchang narrowed his eyes, thoughtful.

Taishi Xiao is dead, Xiao Huaiyu's whereabouts are unknown, and now the backbone of the Xiao family is not Xiao Huaijin, but him Xiao Wanchang, in other words, the next future of the Xiao family will also fall on him, and he has to be cautious.

……

Han Xuandao led Han Cang, worshipping the spiritual position is the best, from beginning to end, he was very respectful, when he got up, stood in front of the token, and said softly: "Taishi, who killed you, sooner or later it will come to light, Xuandao will not let you die in vain!" ”

After speaking, Han Xuandao bowed a few more times, and then bowed his hand to Xiao Huaijin, leading Han Cang to leave under the resentful gaze of the Xiao family officials.

After Han Xuandao's father and son left, Xiao Tongguang looked at Xiao Huaijin and Xiao Wanchang, frowned, and said, "Could it be that this matter really has nothing to do with the Han family?" ”

"Second uncle, Han Xuandao is hypocritical, will you believe him?" Xiao Huaijin clenched his fists and said: "He deliberately made this appearance today, just to let us dispel our suspicions about him." ”

"But ......!" Xiao Tongguang said slowly: "What ability does the Han family have to defeat the Thirteen Swordsmen?" For so many years, we are not ignorant of the Han family, in their hands, there is no master who can compete with the thirteen swordsmen, let alone kill all the thirteen swordsmen in one fell swoop. ”

Xiao Wanchang's expression was gloomy, he put his hands behind his back, slowly walked to the back of the mourning hall, looked at the two coffins behind the mourning hall, one large and one small, and muttered for a long time before muttering: "Uncle, is it their Han family's instructions?" If it were them, what could they do to kill the Thirteen Swordsmen in one fell swoop? If it was really them, the strength in the hands of their Han family, it was really ...... It's horrible! His eyes flickered, and he said softly: "You told me to endure everything, so what now?" Do you want to put up with it now? Brother-in-law...... You teach me ......! His face was full of tiredness.

……

……

In the palace, Changchun. In the palace, Emperor Yan was holding the new prince Cao Chan teasing, at this moment, the emperor who was extremely calm and high in the court, showing his fatherly side.

A real father, a real man.

Han Shu, who had just been crowned queen, looked at this pair of royal father and son tenderly from the side, and the two people in front of her were the dearest people in her life, her husband, and her son.

She just wants everything to continue like this, without any other changes, and to be able to watch her husband tease her son every day, and then enjoy the family fun.

"Holy Lord, don't be tired of you!" The queen finally ordered: "Lingyan'er, hug it!" ”

Ling Yan'er stepped forward, and the emperor carefully handed the child over to Ling Yan'er to carry, and then stepped forward, held the queen's hand, and said softly: "I now find that the happiest time for me is when I come here every day to see your mother and son. I have no more troubles in my heart, but when I see you, all my troubles disappear. ”

"The Holy Sun has all the opportunities, you must pay attention to the dragon body." The queen said softly.

The emperor stroked his beard and smiled: "I don't need to be in a good situation, your eldest uncle is now managing political affairs very well......!" After thinking about it, it seemed that it was not appropriate to say this in front of the queen, so he changed the topic and said: "Yes, I have already passed down a decree to send troops to Lianqing to attack Wei, and Han Mo is the main general of this army!" ”

The queen frowned slightly, and said, "Saint, Han Mo is still too young, such a big event, he ...... Can you take responsibility? ”

"The people in the cabinet are very confident in Han Mo." The emperor smiled and said: "Since this is the case, let him give it a try, Xiao Huaiyu was also a young man back then, and Han Mo may not be able to compare to Xiao Huaiyu." ”

The queen's willow eyebrows were locked together, worried, and after a while, she sighed faintly: "Holy Lord, the concubine still asks for one more thing from you!" ”

"If the queen has any requests, I will not allow it!" The Emperor laughed.

The queen thought for a while, and finally said: "If Han Mo leads the army unfavorably and there is a difference, I hope that the Holy Lord will send another good general, and I hope that Han Mo will be lightly punished!" ”

Han Shu knew that the sword soldiers were extraordinary, Han Mo was young, and if he was unfavorable in commanding the army and returned defeated, he would inevitably be attacked by many people, so he pleaded with the emperor to prevent Han Mo from falling into trouble in the future.
