It was not difficult for Murong Zhao to uproot the Xia family, but if he wanted to uproot the forces behind him, he had to think about the pros and cons. A mere Shangshu is nothing, but he can communicate with the Chu State, which is beyond Murong Zhao's expectations, and he didn't expect Xia An to have such a ability.

Thinking that Xia An has been an official for many years, his career is quite unsmooth, and his relationship with his colleagues is not very good, and the only thing he can do is his daughter.

It's just that there is no news after going out now, how can Cheyenne not be in a hurry?

Xia Sihan didn't recognize him, Xia Yingxue was gone, and now all his hopes were on Xia Yingchun, if Xia Yingchun also had an accident, Xia An really had no hope.

"Master, we have searched everywhere, but there is still no whereabouts of the third lady."

The words of the next person made Xia An's face gloomy, and he turned to look at Xia Yingchun's maid, and the gloomy eyes made the maid plop and knelt down!

"My lord spares his life! The slave really doesn't know where the young lady has gone. By the way, the slave maid remembered that the young lady said that she would ask Murong Shizi for clarification, and she never came back after she went out. ”

The maid's words made Xia An ponder, it seems that Xia Yingchun is going to Murong Beizhuang. Now everyone in the capital knows that Murong Qingmo broke with the palace, and he lives in Beizhuang, and besides, Murong Xue is with him, and Xia Yingchun must be there.

"Someone, go to Bezhuang to guard, secretly inquire about the whereabouts of the young lady, and see if there is any news."

"Yes, sir."

The subordinate answered and went out immediately, and the maid was so frightened that she trembled, watching Xia An retreat uncontrollably.

Cheyenne said angrily: "Drag this girl down for me!" If I don't report it, if Miss has three longs and two shorts, I will not spare her. Now she is locked in the firewood room, and if she can't find the young lady within three days, she will be killed with a cane! ”

The maid trembled with fright, "The master spares his life!" It's not the slave's fault, the young lady insists on this, how can the slave stop her? ”

Cheyenne snorted coldly, "Come on, drag it away!" ”

Someone immediately came over and dragged her away, and the screams of the maid sounded all the way, and Cheyenne was unmoved. At this time, Xia Anxin thought that if Xia Yingchun had three longs and two shorts, this family would be completely ruined!

After wandering around Beizhuang for three days, Xia Yingchun was not found. However, they learned from the mouths of Murong Beizhuang's subordinates that a few days ago they killed a woman with a cane in the house, and now the body has been thrown away from the mass grave, and it must have been eaten beyond recognition.

The subordinate ran over with courage, but pulled back a skeleton that had been gnawed away. Judging from the fragments of clothes, it is indeed summer and spring.

Cheyenne burst into tears, and suddenly fell to the ground, her face pale. Mrs. Xia sat aside, looked at Xia An in a daze, and said in a trembling voice: "How is this good, Chun'er is gone, and now our Xia family has no hope at all!" ”

Xia An knew in her heart that Xia Yingchun would have this ending, and she must have caused trouble herself. obviously confined her to her home, so she had to run to Murong Shizi with a hot head. This matter must have something to do with the Snow Princess, maybe the emperor ordered her to be killed, just so that the princess's affairs would not be leaked.

Thinking of this, Xia An's heart tightened. Xia Yingchun lost his life because of this, what about himself? The emperor will definitely not let go of his own.

"It's over, it's all over, we're all done, the emperor will definitely deal with us. Madam, hurry up and pack your things, I'm going to get ready to resign! ”

Mrs. Xia was stunned, she couldn't imagine that Xia Yingchun would still affect the old man when she died.

"You want to resign? My daughter is dead, why do you still want to leave? Shouldn't she get justice for her daughter? ”

Mrs. Xia was puzzled, and Xia An sighed: "You don't understand!" Xia Yingchun is my daughter, with the title of Shangshu's daughter on her head, but Murong Shizi still cane her to death, what does this mean? She must have offended the powerful, even the official lady will die correctly, it must be the emperor's approval. Otherwise, even if Murong Shizi had the courage to kill innocents, he would not dare to kill innocents indiscriminately. A summer and spring will beat everything we have back to its original shape, hurry up and pack up our things, I have to prepare to return to my hometown, otherwise we will be finished. ”

Cheyenne thought this very clearly. Here Mrs. Xia packed up her things, and over there he immediately went to resign, but when he was about to reach the palace gate, he was stopped. Xia An saw that it was indeed the servant beside Beichen Moxuan, he was stunned, and quickly stopped the man, and dragged his sleeve to the other side of the palace gate.

No one saw this remote place, and he said in a trembling voice, "How dare you come here? This is the Imperial Palace of Murong Kingdom! ”

The man said lightly: "Of course I know that this is the Imperial Palace, if it weren't for that, how could I meet Lord Xia!" Lord Shangshu is really good, let his daughter provoke Murong Shizi. Now that your daughter has been killed with a rod, is Lord Shangshu still ready to be loyal to your emperor? ”

Cheyenne was shocked, "How do you know?" ”

This matter was kept secret, even the people of Murong Beizhuang did not dare to say it at will, how did they know?

"I knew about it three days ago, and my master said that if Lord Shangshu is willing to cooperate, he can keep your Xia Mansion safe, and he can also avenge your daughter's blood hatred. Adults can think clearly. ”

Cheyenne was stunned, revenge? Although Xia Yingchun is his daughter, but now that he is dead, Xia An only thinks about himself, and as for revenge, he really hasn't thought about it.

How could he compete with the imperial power on his own? He was well aware of his strength, and Cheyenne was silent.

The servant said: "My lord thinks clearly, if you resign now, the emperor may not approve it, and maybe he will take the opportunity to rectify you." If you cooperate with my master and spread the news of Murong Xue's return, you can redress your daughter's grievances. Second, he can also pull Murong Shizi into the water. ”

"What's in it for me? She's dead, is it possible to pay for my old bones for her? "Cheyenne wouldn't put her life on the line for a dead man.

The servant knew that he would do this, and continued: "My lord said that if things get out of hand, no one will dare to kill you. Because everyone will be staring at Murong Zhao, if you lose your life, Murong Zhao will no longer be able to say clearly. Also, if you cooperate with my master, you will be able to ensure your prosperity and wealth in the future. ”

His words made Xia An ponder, it is true, if he seeks justice for Xia Yingchun, maybe Murong Murong Zhao will still be jealous of himself. In this way, even if Shangshu's position cannot be promoted, he will not have nothing to say above the court.

Cheyenne finally agreed, and the servant knew he would.

Cheyenne is not very smart, but she is the most selfish. Even if his daughter died, he didn't think about seeking justice for his daughter, but thought about his official position and career. Therefore, Beichen Moxuan grasped him and forced him to cooperate.
