Chapter 57: The City Gate is on Fire

Jiao Shangshu was taken aback, because this was a case of annihilation.

Did someone find a problem and come to the door? So what to do?

At this moment, he knew one thing, and he absolutely could not admit this accusation.

You must know that the other party is likely to come to take revenge, then it is very likely to kill people if they don't agree.

And as the first person to see this killer, no matter how you look at it, you have to be very careful.

His brain was racing, because he sensed that the killing machine was coming, and he didn't want to die, definitely not want to die.

It was not easy to change from a poor disciple to a beautiful Shangshu master, how could he live a few more years.

He had been sitting upright, and found it a little harder to stand up, because he had been kneeling for too long, and his feet were numb.

At this moment, he was a little annoyed that he didn't stand up immediately when he saw Ling Xiao come in just now, he was still kneeling there, and he couldn't get up at all now.

"What do you say? The old man has never done such a thing! How could that kind of murderous thing be done by me, does it have anything to do with me? ”

When he spoke, his originally low voice became high, and even some hoarseness felt like he was a little broken, and his eyes were constantly turning.

After Ling Xiao saw it, he didn't say anything, but watched quietly, and Jiao Shangshu continued to scream hoarsely, this was because he knew that his opponent was terrible, and it was very likely to die.

He wanted to get up, so that he could at least dodge it, but he was quickly pointed at Ling Xiao's knife, making him speechless at once, and those slaves disappeared one by one.

"You ......" Jiao Shangshu looked at the other party, and found that his voice was said to be very loud, but no one came, this situation made him feel like he was being poured boiling oil, he was a little anxious, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Then I saw Ling Xiao chuckle, and then looked at him with a bit of mockery and said: "Jiao Shangshu, you are really a noble person who forgets things, the great flood that broke out in the twelfth year of Xuanping has only passed many years that should be remembered, and you have been lighting the everlasting lamp in the temple all these years." ”

Jiao Shangshu was shocked when he heard Xuanping's twelfth year, and even had a feeling of jumping up immediately, even if he didn't jump up, his body leaned back a little, he fixed his eyes and took a closer look at Ling Xiao, and then said, "You are the Tao family, right?" It's really bold and reckless, and you actually ran to the official's house to find trouble, how can the old man be afraid of you? ”

"The Tao family? Why do you think I'm just representing the Tao family? You must know that in that flood, not only did most of the Tao family die in the flood, but more people in the county where the Tao family lived were buried in the flood. Ling Xiao said, there are words in this, and they are meaningful.

Jiao Shangshu had calmed down at the moment, and at first Ling Xiao inexplicably appeared in his study and made him very frightened, this strange way made him think of one word: weird! Next, I wanted to make Ling Xiao think that he was a little stupid.

As a person who can climb to the top, he is naturally not a fool, and he feels that his secret hand should have arrived, so he doesn't want to grind with Ling Xiao anymore. Seeing Ling Xiao suddenly laugh, Ling Xiao thought that he was mentally ill.

After laughing for a while, his smile became distorted, his eyes were a little red, and his voice returned to its normal volume, "That's also something that can't be helped, it can only be said that fate is fate, they should die." ”

Ling Xiao looked at him and said, "Sure enough, in your heart, your own interests are the most important, and all people or things that hinder you must be cleared up." ”

Jiao Shangshu glanced at Ling Xiao, naturally understanding that the other party could see her thoughts, so it was very problematic, didn't she see her own plans?

At this moment, he was a little anxious, he didn't know who the opponent was, and he was a little worried that his back hand was useless, so he had no way back.

So it doesn't matter if the person who comes is from the Tao family or not, but after she said Xuanping for twelve years, she is his enemy, and as long as she comes, she will leave his life.

"Of course, in order to avenge my family, it took me a lot of effort to find the best opportunity to get rid of them in one fell swoop."

"Those who followed the flood and died in the water can only say that their lives are not good." Jiao Shangshu said ruthlessly.

"Huh! Really? It's really a double standard, your family has to take revenge when they die, and someone else's family deserves it when they die? ”

"There is a saying for you: good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded with evil; It's not that you don't report it, the hour has not yet come. Ling Xiao said.

He obviously didn't want to hear this, he stared at Ling Xiao, his eyes were red, and his body began to tremble.

It was as if the whole person had suddenly turned into an aggressive bull, or a cow on the verge of madness.

Then he stood up abruptly and roared angrily: "How dare you say that. ”

At this moment, he completely forgot that his legs were numb.

He staggered to his feet and almost fell.

Fortunately, he still managed to stand up straight.

Ling Xiao has not moved, just watching.

Seeing this scene, Jiao Shangshu was secretly proud in his heart, this person was too tender.

If it were him who came to settle the score, he would do it when the activity was not very convenient.

Instead of looking at it stupidly now, just moving his mouth and not moving his hands.

After he catches that fool in a while, he can teach that person to be smarter in the next life.

Of course, at this moment, he still deliberately showed an angry face, and the whole person looked very hot-tempered.

If Jiao Shangshu used the comic version of the portrait at the moment, he was afraid that his hair should be drawn on end.

His nostrils were constantly fluttering, and it was better to draw a little more flaming star, and then his whole image would be excited by anger.

Seeing this scene, Ling Xiao did not change anything, as if the whole person was stunned by Jiao Shangshu's appearance, and now she couldn't react at all.

I saw Jiao Shangshu roaring, "The Tao family should be blamed for all this, if it wasn't for the Tao family, why would there be a flood elsewhere for so many years, but there was no Tao family?" ”

At this moment, he felt that he was the embodiment of truth, and Ling Xiao had to take a step back, because the other party was spitting all over the place when he spoke, which made her a little incompetent, and this person still thought he was very capable?

I heard Jiao Shangshu then roar angrily, "I know that something is wrong at this glance, it must be that the people of the Tao family sent out dogs to destroy the river embankment in order to protect their homeland, so that my family died in the flood." ”

Ling Xiao looked at him when she heard this, in her thoughts, this kind of person really made people feel wrong, if the Tao family really made a mistake, they should be brought to justice, instead of thinking that they were law enforcers.

All right! Even Jiao Shangshu thinks that the Tao family is very powerful, and it can even affect the situation of the government, and the officials protect each other, so that the common people cannot get a just sentence.

Even if you go through formal channels, it is impossible to avenge your family, you can only think of revenge yourself, so this kind of revenge behavior Ling Xiao understands better.

Even Ling Xiao's three views will agree with the victim to think about revenge, but it does not mean that Jiao Shangshu can hurt so many people because of the facts he thinks.

Before Jiao Shangshu starts his revenge, he should first investigate the truth and find out who the real enemy is.

And she has always believed that victims can take revenge in a suitable way, but please do not hurt innocent passers-by in the process of revenge.

The methods used in the process of revenge are very vicious, and the methods are used to the extreme, and they will not hesitate to harm the innocent.

In Ling Xiao's opinion, the person who did that was not a good person, and he was not even different from the original evil actor.

She glanced at Jiao Shangshu, his face was still a little distorted at the moment, and he was obviously extremely angry.

And when Ling Xiao faced him with a hideous face, there was nothing worth panicking about.

Jiao Shangshu looked at Ling Xiao, with countless anger in his heart, but he felt bad.

At this moment, Ling Xiao said slowly: "I want to ask one thing. ”

Jiao Shangshu hesitated for a moment and said, "Then may I ask?" ”

He didn't want the other party to feel his hesitation at all.

But Ling Xiao saw it clearly, and she was very calm at the moment.

"You keep saying: The Tao family broke the embankment and released water in order to protect the Tao family after the flood came."

"So, you saw it all with your own eyes?" Ling Xiao asked this question very unceremoniously.

In fact, sometimes what you see with your own eyes is not necessarily the truth, let alone not seeing it with your own eyes.

Ling Xiao naturally had to find out the source of Jiao Shangshu's information, otherwise some words would be easy to say, and they would be all lies.

Jiao Shangshu was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and the whole person suddenly became a little trance-like, because he didn't see it directly.

But he said, "No, but isn't that a matter of course?" Why have floods occurred in other counties, but not in Taojia's place? ”

His eyes were red when he was questioned, and he was a little more angry at the moment, and the whole person felt as if he had encountered several bullfights, and something was wrong.

He also found out that Ling Xiao was not an assassin who killed people as soon as he came up, Jiao Shangshu looked very crazy, but he still knew in his heart, he found that he was completely isolated.

The bodyguards who should have heard the movement he had just made and ran over to save their lives did not appear, and even the slaves who were supposed to appear in the study were now gone.

So he is only afraid of being controlled, he can only save himself, and the assassin, as the Tao family, generally will not let go of himself, after all, this is all dead, so the best way is to be able to bluff the other party, even if he can't bluff, he has to delay time,

Maybe someone will think of him and come to see him, so he has the possibility of surviving at this moment Jiao Shangshu thought a lot at once, and there was a face among them.

He is also an old fox-level character, and he quickly reacted that people can hit the door with a big thorn, and there must be some unknown hole cards in them, and they will settle accounts.

Jiao Shangshu felt a little wrong, he thought: People can live anything, everything when people die is empty, he has to try his best to live.

At this moment, his mentality changed, and Ling Xiao naturally felt that the other party was fearless at first because of the blessing of anger.

But after a long time, he still wants to live in his heart, if the goal of his survival at the beginning is to avenge himself.

But as time passed, his original heart of revenge began to be mixed with more things.

Ling Xiao looked at him before he said word by word: "The Tao family didn't go to break the embankment to release water. ”

"There was no breach of the embankment because the embankment was well repaired."

Jiao Shangshu shook his head when he heard it, he wouldn't believe it at all.

He only believes in his own ideas. "You talk nonsense!"

"As a member of the Tao family, of course I will speak for the Tao family."

"Nonsense, aren't you also making excuses for what you do?"

After hearing Ling Xiao say this, Jiao Shangshu would of course never believe it.

"In fact, what I said is that you won't believe it if you get the evidence to prove it."

"Because in that case, you're a person who has done a lot of things wrong."

"The Tao family's unjust soul will find you, and other non-Tao family members who died in the flood will also find you."

There is a good saying: The fire at the city gate affected the pond fish, and too many people died because of Jiao Shangshu.

If they knew the reason for this, they would definitely hate him to death, because he was wrong for his revenge.

Ling Xiao looked at Jiao Shangshu, his expression was in a trance for a moment, and then he said, "How can other people's deaths have anything to do with me?" I'm just revenge! ”

Ling Xiao looked at him, laughed for a long time, and said: "I went to check the Jiao family, you lost all your family, sold all the land in the family to study, and finally succeeded in the imperial examination, became an official, married a wife and had children, and the Jiao family developed little by little." ”

As she spoke, she took out a stack of papers, looked at it and said, "Look, this is your Jiao family's property over the years, tsk!" It can be said that the Jiao family's property is rising in a straight line, tell me, how can you be so rich? There are simply not that many officials who have a lot of money. ”

She was amazed at the moment, and then said: "Then it means that the official's fortune will definitely make the Jiao family unable to become so rich, not to mention what your wife's dowry is, but I have checked the so-called dowry list, and there is not so much money at all." ”

"Let me see, the Jiao family took a fancy to the Lu family's property and started to get rid of the Lu family's male, and then took the little lady of the Lu family in as a concubine."

Speaking of this, she looked at Jiao Shangshu with a chill in her eyes, this is using her power to ignore all other people's feelings.

"The little lady of the Lu family hanged herself after knowing the truth, but the Jiao family was desperate, didn't you say that you are a good person!"

Jiao Shangshu's eyes widened when he heard this, he really didn't know about this matter, he was very busy every day.

But he also knew that it was wrong, but he didn't dare to admit it, "You are talking nonsense! He even framed the court officials! ”

"What nonsense, the Jiao family will get better and better over the years, haven't you thought about it yourself?"

Jiao Shangshu was a little reluctant to believe that this was true, not true.

He had always thought he was doing the right thing, how could that happen?

It must be the Tao family who lied, and he absolutely did not admit that the Jiao family had done something wrong.

This must not be admitted, and of course if there is, he will not admit it.

Because this means that his previous rhetoric has become empty words, which must not be admitted.
