Although the patriarch was very worried about Xu De's matter before, he didn't take it as a big deal, after all, he didn't kill anyone, no matter what, the British Duke couldn't kill him.

But this time was different.

If the British public knew about the death of the British public, then the British public would really kill him!

At the beginning, someone in the clan did this kind of thing, and the British duke killed him with his own hands, and threatened that this was the patriarchal law, the rules of the clan, and even if the government did not sentence him to death, the people in the family would kill him.

That scene is still engraved in the patriarch's mind, and he is so scared that he feels frightened as long as he thinks about it.

Therefore, at this time, he could no longer maintain his previous calm, so he grabbed the hand of Second Master Xu and asked in a lost voice: "Nephew!" Is that true?! You're going to save your uncle! ”

Second Master Xu laughed in his heart.

Originally, if Zhu Yuan hadn't written a letter to him and asked him to get Xu Qing in prison, he wouldn't have used this matter here.

The room was quiet for a moment, Second Master Xu seemed to be a little embarrassed and touched his nose, looked at the person in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Uncle, you don't know, Xu Qing, he is my eldest brother's confidant, he tells my eldest brother directly about everything, I ...... I can't control him!"

The patriarch believed this, after all, he often went to the capital, and he had also dealt with Xu Zhaohai, so he knew that Xu Qing was indeed a close confidant of Xu Zhaohai.

And recently, Second Master Xu came here for a while, and he also looked at it coldly, knowing that Second Master Xu really couldn't move Xu Qing.

Xu Qing doesn't even give him face!

The patriarch suddenly felt that a great calamity was coming.

If the second master Xu is in charge of this matter, then he is not afraid of anything, after all, he knows that this nephew is a soft man and has no ability, and he has only recently begun to gradually take care of some things at home.

As long as you talk to him well, give him more benefits, and it is not difficult to block his mouth.

But this matter was replaced by Xu Qing, and the patriarch had no hope in his heart.

Xu Qingcai won't give him this face.

Second Master Xu coughed: "Big brother, he has this temper, he only believed what Xu Qing said, and a few days ago he scolded me because of the letter written by Xu Qing, saying that I was ignorant, Xu Qing was going around to find out these things, so as to get rid of the moths in the clan, but I couldn't help much...... Xu Qing has been frequently looking for the prefect recently, saying that he is going to ask about the file of the case three years ago. ”

A thunderbolt came down on a sunny day, and the patriarch's face immediately changed, and the whole person was stunned.

If you really check this, where in the world can paper hold fire!?

It wasn't very thorough in itself, and there were many people who knew the details of it.

If they really know about it, then what?! This house is going to fall apart!

Second Master Xu saw it in his eyes, knew this, smiled and said as if unintentionally: "By the way, speaking of which, Xu Qing said that the investigation is almost complete, today I made an appointment to see the file, as long as the investigation is clear, I will immediately write back to the eldest brother......

The patriarch waited until Second Master Xu left, and he couldn't help but tremble.

When he sent his son out to inquire, and heard that Xu Qingzhen had made an appointment with the prefect in the restaurant in the afternoon, his eyes were even more full of stars, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If Xu Qing really wrote a letter back, then with the temper of the British duke, where would he still have a way to live?!

He couldn't help but sigh.

His son was much more direct, gritted his teeth and said: "Speaking of this, Xu Qing is just a dog, no matter how we are, we are also serious relatives of the Guogong Mansion, a serious clan, is it possible to kill us for this!?" ”

The patriarch lost his soul, his face was ugly, and he said half-loudly: "What do you know?" He could have killed us for this! He had already given strict orders, as long as someone dared to bully men and women through the door of the Guogong Mansion, let him know that if he ruined the reputation of the clan, he would definitely kill them! ”

"Then it's Xu Qing's life!" His son snorted and shook the meat on his face: "Anyway, hasn't he written back yet?" As long as he is dead, where will the news come from in the capital? Anyway, I think Second Brother Xu is a good person and easy to talk, and when the time comes, kill Xu Qing, and this matter will be stable! ”

The patriarch hesitated in his heart.

His son couldn't help it and urged him: "Dead horses should be treated as live horse doctors, and it is better to die others than to die ourselves!" ”

The patriarch also gritted his teeth.

Dead friends do not die in poverty, and people do not die for themselves, the truth in this world has always been like this.

On the other end, Xu Qing didn't know that he was being remembered now, so he went out and asked for a horse, preparing to go to the restaurant to see a goddaughter under Jin Qiong's hands.

Jin Qiong is cunning and cautious, and the only thing he trusts is a goddaughter named Yunhua who used to be a Qingqi person in the past, and I heard that he will tell Yunhua about everything, and the things stored around him are also given to this goddaughter.

This time, Xu Qing did find out, and Jin Qiong's correspondence with the Guogong Mansion over the years was gone.

It stands to reason that these letters should be in the cloud painting.

He must get these letters to get rid of the hidden danger this time once and for all.

But he went out and turned Zhenghua Street, turned the archway, and was about to go up the street of the restaurant he had agreed on, when his head was slammed by something, and he immediately rolled off the horse's back and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, he was vigorous and quick, so he immediately made a defensive posture, avoided the stick that followed, and then rolled around, reached the corner of the wall, stood up with his back against the wall, vigilantly guarded against the people who came out of the alley, and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you?" Even I dare to move, do you know who I am!? ”

The patriarch's son mingled in the crowd and landed in the middle and back of the seat, and lowered his voice to order the people to do it.

Who is Xu Qing?!

It's the executioner of his family! As long as they don't kill him, none of them will survive.

Everyone rushed up, using sticks and knives, Xu Qing was in a hurry to parry for a while, and the bad thing was that he didn't bring weapons or guards when he came out, so he didn't even have anyone who could help.

After a stalemate for a while, at first Xu Qing could barely protect himself from being injured, but the other party came quickly and violently, and he was quickly injured one by one.

Once he was injured, he couldn't hold it anymore, Xu Qing finally knelt heavily on the ground and vomited a mouthful of blood.

The patriarch's son sneered, and was about to kill him in one go, but suddenly the officials of the brigade rushed in, and when he saw that Xu Qing was dying, he hurriedly called someone and ran away.
