Chapter 735: Petition for Nomination
Xu Qiao's body leaned forward slightly, and his brows moved slightly, but soon, he returned to normal.
Xiao Yi looked at him intently, taking in Xu Qiao's small movements.
After a long time, Xu Qiao smiled bitterly: "That Huang and Xu were old acquaintances when they were young, and when they saw her in distress that day, Xu had compassion...... After all, it was Xu who didn't know people clearly, and if the prince wanted to denounce him, Xu had nothing to say. β
Xiao Yi held the pot and filled the empty lamp in front of Xu Qiao with his own hands, and then he clasped his hands together, and said lightly: "If I want to denounce, how can I invite Xu Commander Shi to come to my house." β
Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, it was true, if Xiao Yi wanted to denounce him, he would never invite him to his home, didn't he jump into the pit by himself? I didn't even think of such a simple truth.
Xu Qiao steadied his mind, stood up, and bowed: "Xu is a rough man, and I also ask Shizi Mo to meet Xu in general." β
Xiao Yi smiled, raised the teacup in his hand, and said: "Replace the wine with tea, toast a cup of Xu commanding Shi, and He Xu commanding Shi to rein in the precipice and escape." β
Xu Qiao's heart was shocked, and he subconsciously raised the teacup and drank it all.
"Commander Xu must be strange why Zai Xia said this, and it has to start with the prospective brother and daughter-in-law below." Xiao Yi said.
Xu Qiao was confused, the six brothers of the Xiao family, the first five were all married, it was that Xiao Xiaoliu...... The Xiao family only said to the outside world that Xiao Xiaoliu was recuperating, but as the commander of the Beijing Health Division, it was difficult for Xu Qiao to know it. Xiao Xiaoliu, like several grandchildren of the Xiao family, was sent out of the capital early in the morning.
Is Xiao Xiaoliu married?
Xiao Yi seemed to guess what he was thinking, and continued: "It's not Xiao Liu, it's Xiao Qi. The seventh brother of my uncle's family. β
Xu Qiao suddenly realized that it was Xiao Changhou's son.
That Xiao Ren?
Maybe others don't know, but as a military attachΓ©, he has reached his position again, although King Qin has never asked Xiao Ren for credit, but in the first battle of Yulin that year, Xiao Qishao's name had already spread to the capital.
Clear-eyed people have all the numbers in their hearts, and with the friendship between King Qin and Xiao Changhou back then, Xiao Ren is the son of Xiao Changhou nine times out of ten. But no one dared to mention this matter, the Yang family had checked it before, and it was useless to check it. Xiao Changhou's head was taken out by Xiao Changdun, and the court never convicted Xiao Changhou, let alone his children and grandchildren, not at all. Everyone knows that Xiao Changdun is sorry for Xiao Changhou, even if Xiao Ren is the child of the Xiao family, maybe people still want to find the Xiao family to avenge the murder of their father.
At the beginning, the Yang family thought of many ways, but they couldn't use this matter as Xiao Changdun's handle, because even if they stabbed this matter in front of the palace, it would be useless, maybe they could still make Xiao Changdun sell miserably in public, and Bo would sympathize.
You see, for the emperor and the empress dowager, I not only sacrificed my own brother, but now I am even more at odds with my nephew, and I also want to kill me, I have sacrificed too much for the Great Qi Dynasty, I am a loyal minister.
So everyone knows about it, but no one mentions it.
Smart people, such as Xu Qiao, chose to forget.
came and went, and when Xiao Ren's name was mentioned, Xu Qiao didn't even think about Xiao Changdun.
Just like a few days ago, Zhou Zheng died in battle and the news of Xiao Ren's serious injury reached the capital, Xu Qiao didn't expect Xiao Yi to probe the wind here, and he couldn't find out.
"Xiao Qishao?" Xu Qiao asked.
Xiao Yi bowed his head, look at my little seventh brother, he is not very old, his fame is not small, although he has not officially appeared in the capital, but this name is not blown, who doesn't know Xiao Qishao under the command of King Qin.
"It's him. Commander Xu also heard that my seventh brother has been engaged, and the one who is engaged is Zhou Tong, the eldest daughter of King Yan, the twin sister of King Yanbei. β
Xu Qiao's Adam's apple moved, although his news was not as good as that of Flying Fish Guard, but the front-line battle report was also known. Yang Qin sent troops, the king of Yanbei County and Li Yongji led a cadre of bandit soldiers to intercept it, and the king of Qin sent his in-laws General Liu Da and Xiao Ren to help, although the soldiers and horses of the court did not dispatch, but the intelligence of the scouts did not stop, and the hero of Yanbei County became famous in a war, and since then he has gained a firm foothold in Yanbei.
And there is a battle report that once mentioned that Yang Qin's general Qi Hu died at the hands of King Yan's daughter!
"The one who killed Qi Hu?" Xu Qiao asked.
"Yes, that's her. Commander Xu may not have imagined that she has something to do with that Mrs. Shen, the Huang family......"
Half an hour later, Xu Qiao was drenched in cold sweat.
Xiao Yi is not wrong, if he doesn't make a decision, he will stop the precipice, everything he has now, his wife and children, and the entire Xu family, I am afraid that he will not be able to keep it.
The Yang family fell, and the Huang family was a woman, maybe the Shen family's case would one day be rehabilitated by Zhao Xue, but she used the royal daughter as a stand-in for her son, and then took refuge in the True Immortal Sect and adopted the orphans of the small court of the Later Jin Dynasty as adopted daughters.
Each of these is enough to wipe out the family!
If it was two or three years ago, the identity of the eldest daughter of King Yan might not be worth mentioning, but now it is different.
The king of Yanbei has already been erected.
As long as he doesn't think about the dragon chair, at least within two generations, their branch can sit firmly in Yanbei.
The Huang family has turned against Zhou Tong!
And now that all the people in the Huang San Dart Bureau are dead, but the Huang family is nowhere to be found, do you still need to ask? It was the people of the True Immortal Sect who did it, and she returned to the True Immortal Sect again.
At this time, Xiao Yi told him about the relationship between the Xiao family and the Yan Wangfu, how could Xu Qiao not understand the meaning behind this?
Xiao Yi didn't need to denounce him at all, the stupid thing he did was equivalent to handing the Xiao family a letter of resignation.
Xu Qiao sighed and said to Xiao Yi with a smile: "Although my wife is from a small family, she is kind and virtuous, and although my eldest son has mediocre qualifications, he is eager to learn and progress; My daughter will get married next year, and Xu is the eldest son of Fang Long, the commander of Changping Wei, and my daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I will be able to hold my grandson next year. β
Xiao Yi poured him another cup of tea, and said with a smile: "It seems that I will ask you for two meals of wine next year, one is a wedding wine, and the other is a full moon wine." β
Xu Qiao's heart was relieved, and he said hello repeatedly.
Xiao Yi looked at him and said, "Cheng Lao Guogong has been dead for many years, and your Xu family should also be separated." β
Xu Qiao looked at him, with surprise and hope in his eyes.
Of course he wants to divide the family, but he can't, the two brothers don't want to separate, but if it is......
After coming out of the Dingguo Mansion and returning home, Pang Zi heard that he was back, so he hurriedly came over and asked, "Third Master, nothing happened, right?" β
Xu Qiao suddenly wanted to talk to Pang Zi, and he briefly talked about today's events, including the fact that the Huang family used to live in a small courtyard.
"I didn't do it right, if you want to blame me, blame me." Xu Qiao said.
Pang Zi had tears in his eyes, but he shook his head with a smile: "The third master is a person who values love and righteousness, why should I blame you?" β
Xu Qiao held Pang Zi's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, there will never be such a thing in the future." β
Pang Zi smiled, reached out and stroked Xu Qiao's sideburns, and said with a smile: "Of course I am relieved, and I will be relieved in the future." β
