Qing Shui hurriedly agreed to leave, Xia Li stopped this person and asked him to go with Chun, after all, Chun's martial arts are all harmful, she guessed that this one who wants to listen to the news or something must be better than Qing Shui! I simply asked the two of them to go together.

She didn't dare to leave the second room, for fear that the old lady would come again, and this time she would not let her enter the door.

Thinking of this, he secretly ordered the little servant to lock the courtyard door and open it when Qing Shui came back.

A few of the little girls thought that the young lady was afraid of bad people coming in, but the girl was timid, so they didn't ask, and just did as she was told.

Xia Li was restless in the house and helped his father out to walk under the window, and then returned to the house.

Xia Zhi'an said there: "I didn't expect to really go home, I want to go to your mother's room to see, I don't know if anyone has cleaned it up, it's the New Year, how do you have to clean it up."

Xia Li didn't expect this, and only cared about his father, and said there: "Father, don't worry, I'll find someone to clean it up in a while."

As she spoke, she persuaded her father to wait in the house, and she went to find someone first, and then let him go when she had cleaned up.

Xia Zhi'an originally disagreed, but later had to agree under the constant persuasion of the brother and sister.

Xia Li couldn't find anyone for a while, she went out to see, saw two mothers-in-law sweeping the floor, called them over and said, "It's good that you can help me do something, I won't let you do it in vain."

The two mothers-in-law are still secretly complaining about bad luck, how to let this young lady meet, they all say that this young lady is very experienced, and she is not the master who scolds her subordinates, and the two are the last people in the prime minister's house, and they get the least wages, but they don't do a good job, and they don't sweep the yard all day long.

Nodding their heads one after another, "What do you have to say, Miss?" ”

"You're done here."

The two nodded again, this yard is usually empty, it is very clean, and they sweep it quickly.

Xia Li continued: "Okay, you help me do some work, help me clean up a room, and I'll pay us the silver when it's cleaned up."

Both of them were from poor families, and when they heard that they had silver collars, they immediately smiled on their faces, "Miss, please command, we will do a good job"

"You two come with me" Xia Li led the two into the yard and went directly to the courtyard where his mother lived, this is the largest courtyard in the second room, his mother lived here with his father when he was alive, and then his mother was gone, and his father moved to the study when he saw these things, so it has been empty and unmanned, if it weren't for his father to come and see, Xia Li and Xia Ye would not have come over, both of them saw things and thought about people, so no one dared to think or come.

Xia Li looked at the barren yard and the bluestone pavement buried by dust on the ground, and said to the two: "This is it, help me clean up here, the yard or the house will all be cleaned up, after cleaning up, I will pay a salary of two taels of silver per person, I just need every place here to look like a resident."

The two mothers-in-law were so surprised when they heard that one person and two taels of wages were closed, this is their income for one or two months! I didn't expect to just clean up such a yard and give so much, I had to kneel down and kowtow to Xia Li, and then Xia Li was helped up with internal force, and no one was allowed to kneel, she couldn't afford such a big gift, and said there: "You don't have to do this, just clean up the yard and the house, the money is what you deserve, do it quickly!" ”

"Yes," the two looked at each other, agreed, and went to clean up.

Xia Li didn't enter the house, she was a little afraid to go in, afraid to see every item in her mother's house, and afraid to remember what her mother looked like when she died, but she didn't forget to avenge her, sooner or later one day she would let Li Honglian admit it herself, even if she didn't kill her with her own hands, she wouldn't let her have a good time, how she treated her in this life was this person's retribution, and she couldn't complain about others.

After an hour, the two mothers-in-law finally finished cleaning the inside and outside of the house, Xia Li didn't dare to go in alone, only glanced at the courtyard and said, "I believe that you will clean up well, so I won't check it."

The two mothers-in-law were able to get the silver and not be beaten and scolded, so they went to find it, and patted their chests and said that it was cleaned up.

Xia Li believed that the two of them gave two taels of silver each, and she felt that it was almost the New Year, so she gave more.

The two were so grateful that they wanted to kowtow to her again, but she refused again.

Xia Li looked at his mother's yard, which had all become neat, completely different from the appearance when he first came, the path into the house was spotless, and even the weeds on both sides were neatly cut by the mother-in-law.

It should be nice to see that the yard is cleaned up, so let him come if my father wants to come!

Xia Li stood here for a while, and then returned to his father's study again.

Before he entered the house, he saw the little girl named Chun coming in through the gate.

When he saw them looking at them in front of the room, he hurriedly saluted.

Xia Li asked first, "How is the situation on the street?" ”

The two little guys shook their heads, "The situation is not very good"

"What's going on" Xia Li mentioned it in his heart, feeling that something must have happened.

Qing Shui said there: "There are indeed barbarians who have entered the capital."

"Oh, how do you know? Besides, the gate of the capital has been tightly sealed, and there are people guarding it all the time, so I don't know why people enter it."

Qing Bu shook his head, "This minion doesn't know, the two of us only know that the barbarians killed a total of more than ten people last night, and actually killed all the people in several shops, and only one family left two alive, but they were also severely injured, which is also the news that came out of the mouths of these two people"

After hearing this, Xia Li felt that this matter was very strange, the barbarians usually don't kill people, why do they come to kill now, and they also entered the capital to kill people, isn't this self-defeating? Another thing is also very strange, that is, how did these barbarians enter Beijing, if they flew in, they are masters, how can masters stay alive, so this matter seems to be a deliberate component.

She said, "When did you find out about this whole thing?"

"Last Night"

It seems that it must have been the time she heard it last night, Xia Li was thinking there, so did this person catch it today?

Qing Shui shook his head, "I heard that none of them were caught, these people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, I heard that Jing Zhaoyin sent troops last night, but he didn't see a shadow, and he sent someone to search a few times early this morning, but he didn't catch them."

Xia Li thought there, could it be that these people are leaving, if they leave after killing people, it may be to scare everyone, but if they don't leave, then you have to be careful tonight.

She thought for a while and said: "Qing Shui, don't enter the house first, go to Chu Han, let her go to the shop now, tell them to close the door one after another, don't open tonight, and don't leave anyone in the shop, I'm afraid these people will still commit crimes tonight"
