Chapter 303: Portrait

The steward didn't expect Xiao Jin to suddenly make a move, and was kicked in the chest and abdomen by Xiao Jin, he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain, and fell to the side. Xiao Jin was furious, his strength was not controlled, and he spat out a mouthful of blood immediately after the steward fell to the ground.

The steward can serve by Xiao Jin's side, so he can naturally be regarded as his confidant.

After serving by Xiao Jin's side for so many years, the steward naturally knows Xiao Jin's temperament well. He watched the corpses carried out from the yard all these years with his own eyes.

The steward relieved himself, and he didn't have time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, so he got up and knelt beside Xiao Jin.

"His Royal Highness the King of the County has atoned for his sins." The steward knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing and pleading. "It is the fault of the slave to know people and not check, and the slave is willing to accept the punishment."

"Of course, you will be punished!" Xiao Jin was first commanded by Xiao Yu today, and after returning to his county king's mansion, he found that there was a problem with the people in his yard, and he was so angry that he didn't fight. "After thirty years of cane reprimand, all the subordinates in the courtyard will give me a good check. I don't believe it, there are no more of her accomplices in the house. ”

Thirty canes is really difficult for an adult man, and the two maids who were dragged out of breath just now broke their spines after only receiving twenty or so canes.

But now that he has to endure the thirty canes that he has broken his teeth, his family is waiting in the county king's mansion, and if he dies, his family doesn't know what will happen.

Fortunately, on weekdays, Xiao Jin's hands on the money of his henchmen are loose, and the steward has saved a lot of money in the past few years of serving Xiao Jin. The few people in charge of the execution in the front yard were all guards that Xiao Jin was used to, and the steward was also a little scheming.

It's not that the steward doesn't feel sorry for the money that is scattered on weekdays, but he knows in his heart that these money is only distressed for a while, and when necessary, these money can save his life.

When Xiao Jin returned home and ordered him to check the people in the front yard, when he found that the spring night that had always been clumsy and taciturn was nowhere to be found, his heart couldn't help but sink.

When Xiao Jin ordered him to lead someone to torture the two maids who lived in the same room as Spring Night, he knew that no matter whether Spring Night could be found or not, one of his parallax sins would not be able to escape.

Secretly, he had stuffed silver taels into the executions to the people in charge of the execution, so that they could exert more strength when they scolded the two maids with the rod, and since the spring night had disappeared, it was in his best interest for the two maids to keep their mouths shut forever.

In addition, he knew that he would probably not be able to escape a cane punishment, so he stuffed the money and went out, only begging the executioner not to seriously injure his bones and save his life.

The steward was taken out to be reprimanded with a rod, and the henchmen and guards who had come to report to Xiao Jin hesitated in place and did not dare to rush forward.

Xiao Jin sat in the hall with a flat breath, listening to the muffled sound of the cane reaching the flesh outside, and the painful cries of the steward from time to time, he still felt breathless, and after listening silently for a long time, Xiao Jin couldn't help but move his eyes to the guard.

The guard stood in the corner like a frightened quail, coldly watching himself being targeted by Xiao Jin, and immediately knelt down.

"What are you kneeling for?" Xiao Jin said coldly. "Get up and speak, I have something to tell you to do."

Xiao Jin's guard needs to be away all the year round, he is mainly responsible for helping Xiao Jin do some things that are inconvenient for Xiao Jin to do outside, but he is not very familiar with the personnel of the county king's mansion, and even most of the people in the front yard have not seen him very much.

And the maid called Spring Night was able to sneak into her county king's mansion probably because there were people in the palace who helped her.

"Yes." Seeing that Xiao Jin's words did not contain murderous intent, the maid finally settled down with the heart that had been hanging since she came back with Xiao Jin, and she was completely relieved when she heard that Xiao Jin was going to arrange him to do things, and immediately got up and walked quickly to Xiao Jin's side. "Your Highness commands."

"Contact the eyeliner in King Qin's Mansion and King Yi's Mansion for me, and see where those two children were sent by King Qin after they were taken away? Xiao Yu won't send away the people who want to go out of my hands so quickly, and the two children will definitely be left in the imperial capital. After saying this, Xiao Jin thought about it and commanded. By the way, ask the people in King Yi's mansion, what is the current situation of Yue Ying? They didn't have the ability to get close to King Yi, so it was easy to insert a Yue Ying, but after they were brought into King Yi's mansion, they only came back with a message once. Could it be that the days of King Yi's Mansion are idle, and they have forgotten who is their old master? ”

Speaking of which, Xiao Jin blamed the eyeliner he had placed in Yiwang's Mansion in vain.

Xiao Xuan went to King Yi's Mansion that day, and after Xiao Xuan took Yue Ying away, the Zhao family did not publicize this matter in the mansion. After Yue Ying left the Takihan Pavilion, the Zhao family picked a person who was very similar to Yue Ying from among the maids beside him, and asked her to change into the old clothes that Yue Ying left in the Takihan Pavilion, and pretended to be sick in bed in the Takihan Pavilion.

After that, the Takihan Pavilion was guarded, and only the henchmen around the Zhao family could go in to serve, so Xiao Jin's eyeliner never knew that Yue Ying was actually no longer in Yiwang's Mansion.

And when Xiao Xuan promised Yue Xuan that she was willing to help her rescue her brother and sister, Yue Ying reciprocated by taking the initiative to draw a few portraits and let Dan Tang send them to Xiao Xuan.

Yue Ying also asked Dan Tang to bring a message to Xiao Xuan, saying that when she was still in Yiwang's Mansion, it was these people who took the ornaments on her younger brother and sister to contact her, and the identities of those people were naturally not as simple as the subordinates of Yiwang's Mansion.

It's just that they didn't reveal their names and identities in King Yi's mansion to Yue Xuan, fortunately, Yue Ying likes to paint portraits the most in the boudoir, Xiao Xuan is willing to help her rescue her trapped brother and sister, she naturally can't sit in Princess Zhaoyue's mansion and do nothing.

She could only rely on her memory to draw a few portraits and give them to Xiao Xuan.

Xiao Xuan looked at several vivid portraits in front of her, and listened to what Dan Tang relayed to her.

"Dan Tangerine, go back and thank Miss Yue for me." Xiao Xuan asked the green forest beside him to put away several portraits, and said to Dantang. "During this time, you can take good care of Miss Yue's food, clothing and daily life for me."

"Yes, the slave has written it down."

As soon as he turned his head, Xiao Xuan took the portrait to King Yi's Mansion and met the princess Zhao who was in charge.

"Sixth sister-in-law, these portraits were drawn by the young lady who lived in my house temporarily." Xiao Xuan asked the green forest that received those portraits to come over and placed the portraits in front of the Zhao family. "The people behind the scenes kidnapped the younger brother and sister of the young lady and threatened her, these are the people who used to approach the young lady with the ornaments on her brother and sister when she lived in the Yiwang Mansion. Miss Yue realized that she was lost and provided these portraits, hoping that the sixth sister-in-law could use them. ”

"Thank you to that young lady, and thank you to the princess for coming all the way to make this trip." The Zhao family has been in charge of the family for many years, and she has a very good memory, just looking at those portraits, she immediately recognized these individuals, and they are indeed all serving in the Yiwang Mansion. "I will control these people first, and as for what to do, I will wait for His Highness to return to the mansion and discuss it with him clearly."

"The affairs of the sixth sister-in-law in Yiwang's mansion can be different from what I said, since she is a thief in the mansion, how to deal with it depends on the intentions of the sixth brother and the sixth sister-in-law." Xiao Xuan didn't come here to greet her, she told the Zhao family about this matter, and she could go home with confidence. "The sixth sister-in-law has always done things properly, Brother Min is still waiting for me at the house, so I'll go back first."

"Speaking of which, His Highness is about to return home." Zhao knew that things could not be delayed, and she had already sent her trusted people to control the thieves in the mansion, she personally sent Xiao Xuan out, and couldn't help but take Xiao Xuan's hand and persuade. "Ever since these things happened, His Highness has known that he was wrong. A dispute with the princess, coupled with the fact that the imperial concubine was innocently injured by calculations, His Royal Highness was annoyed in his heart. The princess might as well stay and sit for a while, so that His Royal Highness can apologize to the princess, and it can also make him feel at ease. During this period of time, His Royal Highness couldn't eat when he returned home, couldn't sleep at night, and lost a lot of weight. ”

"Sixth sister-in-law, in fact, my mother and I have long been no longer annoyed with the sixth brother, and it is the sixth brother who can't be seen in this situation now." Xiao Xuan turned around and looked at Zhao for a long time before speaking. "This situation still has to be seen by himself."

"I understand what the princess said." The Zhao family almost made a fuss about this matter, and was about to propose to let Xiao Jun leave him, although the matter of leaving was only a temporary rumor. has been a husband and wife for so many years, has children with Xiao Jun, and watched Xiao Jun become haggard and sad day by day because of self-blame in his heart, Zhao still relented to him after all. "Forget it, Brother Min's little princess should indeed go back to accompany her earlier. Wait a little longer, and when everything is over, I will personally take Your Highness to the Princess's Mansion with you, so that Your Highness and the princess's brothers and sisters can have a good talk. As long as the princess is willing to listen to His Royal Highness's words at that time. ”

"Sixth sister-in-law, it is really his blessing that the sixth brother can marry you." Xiao Xuan listened to Zhao's words, knowing that Zhao had always planned and planned for Xiao Jun wholeheartedly, and couldn't help but be moved in his heart, Xiao Xuan held Zhao's hand tightly and said to her with great emotion. "Although my mother and I are both blood relatives of the sixth brother, but really, the person who can accompany the sixth brother from time to time in the future years is still the sixth sister-in-law. In the days to come, there will be six sisters-in-law to be by the side of the sixth brother, and my mother and I are very relieved. ”

"The princess's words have tormented me." Zhao's smile was quiet and soft, like a spring breeze. "It is my blessing to be able to marry His Royal Highness as a princess. The princess and the imperial concubine can rest assured that I will accompany His Royal Highness well in this life. ”
