At this time, the guards in the palace also came, and those thieves saw that the situation was not good, and immediately retreated.

Soon, the guards caught all the thieves in the house.

"Tell the old lady, run away." Steward Xiao said.

Looking at the dozen or so thieves tied up on the ground, Old Lady Xiao shouted and asked, "Say, who are you?" Why did you sneak into my Xiao Mansion? ”

The eldest brother who took the lead ran away, and a thin man who seemed to be the tallest in the bottom said tremblingly: "We are the gangsters in the market, seeing that there is an army besieging the official's house tonight, we want to fish in troubled waters and come to Xiao Mansion to steal some property."

"We haven't stolen a few pieces yet, but you caught them, and these are all back to you, please, don't kill us."

The others then kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please, don't kill us, please." ”

Someone even said: "I can tell you where my eldest brother is, it is my eldest brother who ran away, you send someone to arrest him, you will definitely be able to recover things, just please let me go." ”

After saying that, he said an address.

Old lady Xiao was not interested in his address, and he instructed Steward Xiao: "You go to the door to see, is there a soldier?" ”

Steward Xiao went immediately.

Master Xiao ordered people to arrest people according to the address that the man said.

Soon, Steward Xiao ran over in a panic: "Old... Master, there are a lot of soldiers outside the gate, I just sent someone to see it, the soldiers at the west gate were knocked unconscious, but those soldiers made up for it, and there were soldiers guarding the other two gates. ”

It seems that the Xiao Mansion is surrounded by heavy soldiers.

"Check it out."

Old lady Xiao hurriedly walked out, and several old men also followed.

Xiao Cong walked behind and instructed left and right: "Take these people down first and interrogate them properly." ”

Everyone came to the gate, and Master Xiao wanted to go out and ask what was going on, but he was blocked by the soldiers outside the door.

Master Xiao was immediately furious and shouted, "Who are you?" Why are you surrounding my Xiao Mansion? ”

The goalkeeper said with a blank face: "We are just carrying out the orders from above, and we have nothing to say." ”

"You..."Old Man Xiao shouted angrily, "Come on, drive them all away." ”

The guards rushed forward.

At this time, a man in silver armor walked in: "Don't panic, don't panic. ”

Old lady Xiao had never seen this person, so she asked Master Xiao with her eyes.

Master Xiao whispered: "This is Liu Shixin, the deputy of Taiyuan Dao. ”

Then, Master Xiao stepped forward and asked with a gloomy face: "General Liu, as far as I know, you should be in Taiyuan at this time, why are you here?" And led troops to surround the Xiao Mansion?

"Do you know that it is a capital crime to besiege the minister's mansion with troops without permission?"

Liu Shixin said with a smile: "Lord Xiao has wronged me with this, I was called to enter Beijing, and I was also called to protect you Xiao Mansion." ”

"Summoned?" Old Lady Xiao said coldly: "Take out the holy decree and show it to me." ”

Liu Shixin's expression was stunned, and his face suddenly changed: "The fifth prince received the news that a group of extremely fierce Jiangyang thieves sneaked in the capital, so His Royal Highness specially sent me and other officials to protect the city." ”

Old lady Xiao sank his face, so to speak, not only Xiao Mansion, but other mansions were also besieged.

The Five Princes... It is to rebel.

When this thought rose in the hearts of everyone in Xiao Mansion, everyone was extremely shocked, their pupils dilated, and even worse, they couldn't help but exclaim.

Xiao Lingfeng's first thought was that since the fifth prince was going to rebel, he would definitely deal with the neutral Yang Mansion, and his grandfather was in danger.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lingfeng was anxious and rushed over: "There is no holy decree, you are privately transferring troops into Beijing, it is a capital crime, let me go away." ”

The soldiers outside the door rushed in one after another, raising their spears and aiming at Xiao Lingfeng and them.

Xiao Cong walked over and whispered to Xiao Lingfeng: "Eighth brother, don't be impulsive, they are overwhelming. ”

Liu Shixin glanced at the people in the Xiao Mansion who were full of anger, raised the corners of his mouth, and said loudly: "You all listen to me, those who know each other will stay in the mansion honestly, I will guarantee your safety, and I will not let those Jiangyang thieves hurt you again."

"If you dare to leave the mansion without permission, then don't blame General Ben for being unkind."

Liu Shixin smiled and looked at Old Lady Xiao gently: "Old Lady Xiao, you are so old, you should rest early at night, otherwise... Die fast. ”

"What do you say?"

The clay figure also has three points of blood, Xiao Cong is about to rush up to find Liu Shixin desperately...

"Puff puff."

There was a sudden noise in the corner of the wall, which alarmed Li Xuan, who was pondering.

"Master, it's me, Pingfu."

Hearing that it was Pingfu's voice, Li Xuan immediately walked to the corner of the wall, only to find that a small hole appeared in the corner, and half of Pingfu's face could be seen from the room.

"Pingfu, when did there be a hole here? How did I not know? ”

Pingfu whispered: "I dug it overnight, master, are you okay?" ”

"I'm fine, by the way, what's going on outside?" Li Xuan asked anxiously.

Pingfu shook his head, suddenly remembered that he couldn't see it from inside, and hurriedly said: "I don't know, Wang Ji and I can't get out, and the prince has sent a lot of guards to fence off the courtyard." ”

Especially in Li Xuan's house, the windows were sealed, and there were eight guards guarding the door.

Li Xuan's face sank, what should I do.

"Can you find a way to deliver the message?"

Pingfu was in trouble, but he still said: "Master, let's try, and I'll let you know when there is news." ”

The light at the entrance of the cave was blocked, it should be that Pingfu left, Li Xuan walked back to the chair and sat down, at this time, he hoped that he had Xiao Lingwei's special function, then he would be able to leave this ghost place.

......

"Ahh ”

Xiao Xin's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "It's not scolding, it's that someone is thinking about my aunt." ”

Xiao Ling slapped him slightly, of course, it was the kind that looked very hard, but actually patted him on the head very gently: "Stinky boy, what nonsense?" ”

Xiao Xin was used to being beaten by Xiao Lingwei, knowing that Xiao Lingwei was thundering and raining, and he was not afraid of her at all, so he opened his mouth and smiled: "I saw my aunt writing a letter a few days ago, although I can't read it, but Sister Lan Mei said that my aunt is writing to my lover, it must be my lover who is thinking about my aunt, hehe..."

"Stinky boy, shut up." Xiao Ling raised her palm slightly fiercely.

Yang Huijun looked over: "Oh, lover? Who is it? ”

Xiao Xin made a slight grimace at Xiao Ling, quickly got into Yang Huijun's arms, and shouted pitifully: "Grandmother, my aunt is so fierce." ”

"Obediently, don't be afraid, grandmother is here, don't be afraid." Yang Huijun patted Xiao Xin's back gently with her right hand, comforted him in a gentle tone, turned her head and said fiercely to Xiao Lingwei: "Don't bully Xiaoxin in the future, say, when will you have a lover?" Who is he? ”

Xiao Ling glared at Xiao Xin quietly, then smiled and said to Yang Huijun flatteringly: "Mother, how can you have any lover?" I'm just writing to Manman, asking her to go horse racing when she returns to the capital.
