The sun was shining and the wind was beautiful, but many people woke up to the sound of screams.

There was a mess in Kyoto, and the Beijing guards were busy with their feet not touching the ground, and their legs were about to run off.

If it weren't for the emperor's timely order to pacify the people and close the city gates, it is estimated that Kyoto would have become an empty city now.

Baili Qingcang ordered the court to be dismissed, ordering all officials to stay in their own mansions and not to move around at will, and then sent the Tai Hospital Tai Doctor and Jing Wei Fu Yin to find out the cause of the chickenpox outbreak.

Jingwei Mansion Yin accompanied Chen Yun to check everywhere in each house, but he didn't find any useful information, but helped those officials discover the means of framing each other among many women in the backyard, and suddenly there was a storm again.

At this time, the Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion seemed to be immobile because it was closed, and it was much quieter and quieter.

Xiao family, Xiao Huanxi sat in the room and kept shivering, her whole face was pale without a trace of blood, she didn't know how this night came over, in order for this assassination to go smoothly, she secretly stole the order of the dead in Xiao Fengjue's hand, and called twenty-two dead soldiers, but these people went to the Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion as if they were sinking into the sea, and there was no news at all after the night.

This is something that has never happened to the dead soldiers of the Xiao family, in Kyoto, the dead soldiers have never failed to carry out their missions, and usually there must be news back within two hours, but this time it has been a whole night!

The door was suddenly kicked open, Xiao Huanxi almost jumped up like a frightened bird, and looked at the door in a panic, facing Xiao Fengjue's face full of evil.

"Big brother, you ...... How did you get here? ”

Xiao Fengjue strode into the door, and the green tendons on his forehead kept surging: "You stole the order to mobilize the dead?" ”

Xiao Huanxi trembled suddenly, and was looked at by those emotionless eyes, only feeling cold to the bone: "Big brother, I don't understand what kind of order." ”

Xiao Fengjue came back to her senses suddenly, kicked on the table at the head of the bed, and the heavy solid wood table was kicked and fell to the ground, and one leg was broken.

The table toppled over and made a loud noise, which frightened Xiao Huanxi to cover his ears and scream.

Xiao Fengjue tried her best to resist the urge to slap the past, gritted her teeth and said, "Do you know that you have caused a big disaster?" ”

Xiao Huanxi took two steps back and leaned against the wall, his eyes full of panic: "Woe, what disaster?" ”

"Early this morning, the emperor announced the boycott and ordered all officials not to go out of the palace without incident, because early this morning, sixteen people had chickenpox."

"What?" Xiao Huanxi's eyes widened, "It's not just Shen Ninghua's younger brother who has chickenpox, how can it spread so quickly?" ”

"That's what you did!" If Xiao Huanxi wasn't his sister, he would definitely have ordered someone to drag her out and beat her to death, "The place where these sixteen people live is also very ingenious, just between the Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion and our Xiao family, and it can be faintly connected in a straight line." ”

Join in a straight line?

Xiao Huanxi quibbled: "This doesn't mean anything?" ”

"Are you really confused, or are you pretending not to understand? Last night, someone witnessed more than a dozen black-clothed people escaping from the Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion and coming towards my Xiao family. One night later, some of the black-clad men fled, and they had chickenpox. It's clear how chickenpox spreads, and do you want me to say anything more? ”

Xiao Huanxi's heart was beating wildly, and there was a desperate struggle in her eyes: "Even so, it can't be said that those people in black are from our Xiao family, maybe someone framed us, yes, it must be Shen Ninghua, it must be us who she framed." ”

Xiao Fengjue narrowed her eyes, her eyes were full of mockery: "Do you want to frame us, you know in your heart, hand over the order to mobilize the dead!" ”

Xiao Huanxi's face became more and more pale, and even her lips trembled, she knew that it was useless to hide it at this time, so she could only explain truthfully: "Big brother, I'm obsessed ......with my mind for a while."

Xiao Fengjue's voice was impatient: "I don't want to say a word to you now, give me the order talisman!" ”

Xiao Huanxi bit his lip and took out the talisman from under the pillow, his face full of panic: "Big brother, the night has passed, and there is no news from those dead soldiers, they should be fine, right?" Didn't anyone see a man in black escape last night, did they return to Xiao's house? ”

Xiao Fengjue shook her off, turned around and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the courtyard:

"The lord spares his life, and the slave and maid are wronged."

"Ah, help!"

This was followed by the dull sound of sticks hitting the flesh.

Xiao Fengjue's face changed, and he walked out of the door quickly, only to see that the courtyard was already in chaos. A group of guards surrounded Xiao Huanxi's courtyard, and all the maids and daughters-in-law were all caught and detained on the ground, and two of them had already fainted to death on the ground after being beaten by the court staff.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jingran stood aside with his hands in his hands, and when he heard this, he turned his head and glanced at him: "Someone just heard the conversation between you and Huanxi." ”

Xiao Fengjue's eyes changed: "Isn't that the person who heard it?" ”

"The kindness of a woman!" Xiao Jingran's brows furrowed, and his face sank, "If you cane all these people to death, you will say that they were disposed of because they had chickenpox." ”

"Father!" Xiao Fengjue was annoyed in her heart, at this time, I don't know how many people have focused their eyes on them, and suddenly killing these people is not equivalent to telling others that something happened in my Xiao family? Even if there is an excuse for chickenpox, it can hide it from some people, but it can't hide it from everyone, especially the emperor......

Xiao Jingran didn't care, Xiao Huanxi's movements were not too subtle, and he didn't dare to guarantee that none of these slaves knew her movements, so for the sake of safety, they had to die.

At first there was a cry, and after about a quarter of an hour there was no sound from the eighteen slaves and maids in the courtyard.

Xiao Fengjue only felt a throbbing pain in her head, how could her father become so disregarding the overall situation! Is this forcing the Xiao family to a dead end?

Xiao Jingran ignored his concerns at all: "My Xiao family has stood for a hundred years, and I have experienced countless storms, and this time is not enough to shake the foundation." ”

Xiao Fengjue clenched his fists, the palm of the token in his hand hurt, but he didn't care at all, and strode out of the bloody courtyard.

When Chu Junyi came to the county lord's mansion, Shen Ninghua had already learned the news.

Hearing that Xiao Jingran had caned all the slaves and maids in Xiao Huanxi's courtyard, she felt a sigh in her heart: "The head of the Xiao family is really unscrupulous, if he wants to die, no one can stop him!" ”

If it was put twenty years ago, let alone a slave who killed a courtyard with a cane, even if it was a civilian who slaughtered half of the city, no one would dare to say that the Xiao family was not.

Because at that time, the Xiao family was the patron saint of Da'an, guarding the peace of thousands of people, twenty years ago, Xiao Jingran also served as the general of soldiers and horses, and he ascended the battlefield to appoint soldiers and generals, and the call for soldiers to be appointed was higher than the emperor's reward for the three armies.

But twenty years have passed, Da'an has not experienced war for a long time, and although the Xiao family is still in a transcendent position, it is no longer without the qualifications to do whatever they want.

The emperor will not allow his courtiers to proclaim their special status under his nose.

Chu Junyi entered the door, walked to the soft couch on the side and lay down, and let out a deep breath: "I didn't expect my father-in-law to do that...... This is simply roasting the Xiao family on the fire.

Shen Ninghua put down the brush in his hand, and frowned slightly: If something happens to the Xiao family now, Chu Junyi will definitely be implicated, which is extremely unfavorable to him.

"Ning Hua, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes: "Now that the emperor must have suspected the Xiao family, coupled with the matter of Xiao Jingran killing people with a cane, I don't need to do anything more, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to investigate the Xiao family, although due to the status of the Xiao family, he will not deal with it in a big way, but once this suspicion is remembered in his heart, he may not know when it will be exploded." ”

"Hmm." Knowing that what she said was reasonable, Chu Junyi responded in a dull voice.

"When the emperor has suspicions in his heart, I will send back the dead soldiers I caught last night to the Xiao family. Then the hospital will give a prescription and find a cure for chickenpox, and those who have been infected with chickenpox before will get better. ”

Chu Junyi's heart jumped, not only showing a wry smile: "Ning Hua, your trick is really ......"

He didn't finish speaking, but Shen Ninghua understood what he meant: The Xiao family's staff used the excuse that those people had chickenpox, and now it seems that there is nothing to deal with them, but after she cures all the people infected with chickenpox, the Xiao family's actions are extremely cold.

As the two were saying this, there was a sudden sound of fighting weapons intersecting in the courtyard.

Chu Junyi hurriedly stood up, saw the figure in the courtyard clearly, and frowned suddenly: "Big brother? ”

In the courtyard, Xiao Fengjue and Qingque fought together, and the fight was fierce.

Shen Ninghua spoke up to stop Qingque: "Qingque, stop." ”

Chu Junyi's face was not very good: "Big brother, why are you here?" ”

Xiao Fengjue tidied up his clothes, looked at Shen Ninghua with an indifferent expression, his resolute lips were tightly pursed, without the slightest smile, and said in a stiff tone: "Because the county lord's mansion is completely blocked, I used this method to come in, and I ask the county lord to forgive me." ”

"Xiao Gongzi is polite, I don't know what you did when you broke in?"

"I'm here to find Chu Junyi."

Chu Junyi stepped forward and stood in front of Shen Ninghua with a condensed face: "What is the eldest brother looking for me?" ”

Xiao Fengjue took out the talisman in his hand to mobilize the dead: "This talisman is for you." "Giving him the amulet also implies that those who are caught can be disposed of at will.

Chu Junyi didn't answer: "Big brother, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Those dead people have offended your sweetheart, and it is natural for you to deal with them."

Shen Ninghua sneered in his heart, looking at it with good intentions, but he had hidden evil intentions. She originally wanted to abolish the martial arts of the dead soldiers, and then threw them back to the Xiao family while the emperor was investigating, but Xiao Fengjue handed over the token of control of the dead soldiers to Chu Junyi, and it would be a waste of talent to abolish their martial arts. After all, the cultivation of dead soldiers is extremely difficult.

Once she can't use the dead soldiers, then she will have less control over the Xiao family in her hands, and she may even have a dispute with Chu Junyi......

Chu Junyi shook his head and refused: "Big brother, these people want to hurt Ning Hua, I won't take them in." "Ning Hua is his reverse scale, once someone touches it, it will not die!
