The six-city competition came to an end, Nanpihou and others failed to take advantage of it, and they also lost face, so they did not stay too much in Suiyang County, and left in the afternoon of the same day.

Xiong Xijian, Marquis of Xuangao, was the last to leave. He didn't send someone to say hello to Xiao Mansion and leave like Pi Zhendong, but politely came to see Xiao Tianhao in person.

As an elder, Xiao Tianhao said some words of encouragement to the juniors, and watched Xiong Xijian leave the Xiao Mansion.

The fat man of Deling Gongliu is cheeky, but he doesn't talk about leaving, it seems that he wants to continue to be a guest of Xiao Mansion. As the runner-up of this competition, her daughter Liu Fei'er got a lot of rewards, including soul grass and soul spirit stones, and filled a small box.

The old marquis has been in a good mood for the past two days, his grandson has grown up, and he has won the championship, he is excited to put on a feast every day, inviting guests from all over the world, from noon to afternoon, from evening to midnight, the sound of pushing the cup and changing the lamp has not stopped.

The people of the Xiao Mansion also got big red envelopes, and everyone was very happy.

The old marquis drank too much again, Liu Zhizhang's father and daughter helped him into the bedroom, and the little marquis Xiao Chen immediately followed with the sobering soup, this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, the guests didn't take it seriously for a while, and continued to eat and drink.

The moment Xiao Chen stepped into the bedroom, Xiao Tianhao, who was originally drunk, became radiant and waved his hand to arrange a sound barrier in the room.

The expressions of the four of them were a little solemn, and Liu Fei'er couldn't help but ask: "Father, Grandpa Xiao, what are you doing such a game for?"

Xiao Chen also had the same question, but he was not as ignorant as Liu Fei'er, and vaguely felt that the next topic had something to do with his cheap dead ghost father.

Of course, it is also to create conditions for another guy with a conspiracy.

Liu Zhizhang arched his hand at Xiao Tianhao and said, "Shibo, it's better for you." ”

The old man didn't say it directly, but looked at his grandson and asked, "Chen'er, do you have any impression of your father?"

He shook his head and said, "Not impressed." ”

In the inherited memory, there are indeed very few impressions of my father, only a few incoherent pictures, and the only thing that is certain is that the dead ghost father is a very elegant person.

"Yes, you were only three years old at the time. The old man's tone became low: "It's been thirteen years, and your father's voice and smile often appear in Grandpa's mind. ”

Xiao Chen didn't understand why his grandfather mentioned this matter, and said: "I heard the old people in the house say that my father is a genius, and he can memorize a "Book of Songs" backwards when he is very young. And he is a martial arts wizard, when he was my age, he was already a master of the ninth level of the Condensing Martial Realm, but it was a pity that he was jealous of the talent......"

"Nonsense, what kind of jealousy of talents!" Grandpa interrupted him sharply, gritted his teeth and said: "Your father's death is a conspiracy at all! A big conspiracy, some people are afraid that our Xiao family will have talents in large numbers and threaten him!"

He took out a piece of parchment and handed it to his grandson, saying, "Look at it." ”

Xiao Chen took it with a suspicious face, lowered his head and read it softly: "In the autumn of the forty-first year of the Great Chu calendar, Wang Shizi of Xiangyang County invited his friends to go boating, fell into the water in the wind and waves, and drowned; in the spring of the forty-third year of the Great Chu calendar, the body of the British prince was found on the street corner, which was caused by a private fight, and the murderer could not be found; in the winter of the fifty-third year, the nephew of Changlinghou died violently at home, and died of poisoning......

On the parchment, there are as many as 30 records of the accidental death of the noble sons in the past 20 years.

Xiao Tianhao didn't explain, took out another piece of parchment, and said, "You can take a look again." ”

The content recorded on this piece of paper made him even more puzzled, from the thirty years of the Great Chu calendar to the present, a total of more than 100 founding nobles were either killed for being traitors, or died unexpectedly, or suffered from some strange disease, the only thing in common is that none of them died well.

Liu Fei'er also looked at it, her pretty face was full of doubts, Xiao Chen seemed to understand, raised his head and asked: "Grandpa, those dead noble sons are all known as geniuses and prodigies." ”

"That's right. The old man said in a deep voice: "Your father has also been known as a genius since he was a child, and he has surpassed ordinary people a lot in all aspects. was even willing to be a small county marquis, in order to prove that the Xiao family had absolutely no rebellious and disobedient intentions, but in the end they still refused to let go of your father. ”

Liu Zhizhang said in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, not only your father, but also my father's death is also very strange. ”

Liu Fei'er's eyes widened, Liu Zhizhang had never told him these things.

Xiao Tianhao knew very well the guy he had followed for several years, and when he ruled the world, he began to worry, would these proud soldiers and fierce generals who fought the world with him also want to be his current position? Will they not respect the orders of the new emperor after his death, so as to support the army and respect themselves?

In order to secure the throne for himself and his children and grandchildren, the emperor began to purge these menaces.

The first to be purged are those generals who have made outstanding achievements, because these people can fight well, if they betray Da Chu, who can stop them?

Xiao Tianhao is a rare wise man in this group of arrogant generals, although he was born in the military, but he has studied the power of the superiors, and when he first talked about the reward of meritorious deeds, he realized that his merits were too great, and he was suspected of being overshadowed by meritorious deeds. So on the eve of the reward, he smashed a tavern after drinking, and beat up the shopkeeper and his associates, causing a very bad effect in the emperor, and then asked for a demote to atone for his sins.

Later, he deliberately engaged in the miasma of smoke in the fiefdom, and took the initiative to clear himself and downgrade again.

After two demotions, Emperor Chu's worries about him were reduced to the minimum, and those old brothers who were born and died together did not know that they were about to come to a catastrophe, and in just a few years, they were named various crimes and killed one after another.

Until the new emperor ascended the throne and expressed his loyalty, Xiao Tianhao thought that he was safe, and the days of walking on thin ice were finally over, and he could enjoy the joy of family.

Who would have thought that the bright son died in an accident.

At first, he also thought it was an accident, but then the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and after a period of investigation, he was convinced that it was a conspiracy.

The old emperor was not at ease with the Xiao family until he died, because Xiao Tianhao's son was too good, and he specially told the prince that if he wanted a person to have no desire for imperial power, the best way was to cut off his queen, a person who didn't even have a son, even if he took the throne and passed it on, he naturally had no rebellious heart.

The old marquis looked at his grandson and said, "Your father is dead, but the Xiao family still has a queen, and it is you." ”

Xiao Chen understood everything and said, "So, since you were a child, you have doted on me in every way and molded your grandson into a gentleman, right?"

"That's right, only if you show that you are useless, the emperor will reduce his suspicion of my Xiao family. Xiao Tianhao nodded and said, "Only in this way can I save your life." ”

Liu Fei'er was completely shocked, Liu Zhizhang smiled bitterly, and said: "Fei'er, you now understand why your father is a man with his tail between his legs, and why he is bent on matching you and Xiaochen, because we have a knife hanging over our heads!"

"Who is the person who killed my father? Was it directly ordered by the emperor, or did someone else do it?" Xiao Chen asked in a deep voice.

"It's not that the emperor directly ordered it, when the emperor was alive, he set up a special organization to do these shady things for him. Liu Zhizhang said: "But without the emperor's instructions, how dare those people be so bold." Shibo has secretly checked for many years, but he only found these contents, and he didn't even find out what the name of the organization was. ”

Xiao Chen turned his head to look at his grandfather: "What my grandson has done these days has disrupted my grandfather's plan, right?"

Xiao Tianhao smiled and said domineeringly: "That's right, originally grandpa only wanted you to be a carefree little marquis, and even better and better." But the amazing potential you showed gave grandpa a new idea, blindly dodging can only make the enemy more reckless, since pretending to be a soft egg still won't let the other party relax their guard, then be tough and make them scared!"

Liu Zhizhang nodded and said, "That's it, so after discussing with Shibo, I decided to tell you the truth, so that you can be mentally prepared in advance to face that mysterious organization in the future." ”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, what kind of organization is that, one day I will expose you to the scorching sun!
