Chapter 36 The Hou Mansion is on fire
Ximen Jingyu was confused by Lin Xin'er's words, and listened to her without saying a word.
"I first killed those two people on the Sunset Cliff, then threw them into the Sunset River, left the Sunset Cliff, and met the subordinate who chased you from your mansion at the bottom of the cliff, and I forced that subordinate to commit suicide." Lin Xin'er said.
"Why?" Ximen Jingyu was secretly stunned, that person was one of his most trusted subordinates, no wonder there was no news for a long time, it turned out to be dead.
"In order to protect Lord Hou." Lin Xin'er glanced at Ximen Jingyu lightly and said, "He died to protect the Hou Ye, and the Hou Ye can give his family a heavy reward." β
"You make it clear." Ximen Jingyu thinks that he can see things for thousands of miles, but in front of Lin Xin'er, he feels that some brains can't keep up.
"Isn't it to solve the person hiding in the shadows for Hou Ye? Dispel his self-righteous tricks in front of Ximen Jingxuan. Lin Xin'er smiled lightly, "The pros and cons of it can be thought of by yourself, if I explain it, it will be out of fun." β
"Is that how you talk to your master?" Ximen Jingyu's face sank, he could feel Lin Xin'er's shameful smile at him, thinking that he was a dignified and free marquis, although the power on the surface was very weak, but relying on this identity, no subject dared to be so disrespectful to him.
"I think I should be regarded as a collaborator with Hou Ye, I am doing things for my master, but Hou Ye is not my master." Lin Xin'er unabashedly scoffed at Ximen Jingyu's words.
If she is willing, the identity of Xiaoyao Hou will exist for less than a day.
If it weren't for the fact that he was still useful to her, she didn't bother to talk nonsense with him here, she had always disdained these pretentious people, who thought they were amazing, Jiangshan was his surname, but if it was subverted, this surname would not even be as good as the status of ordinary people, and the people of the Leng family in the previous dynasty were wiped out by the newly established Qingyuan Dynasty, and the few people who survived were the best examples.
"Continue with your plan, if Ben Hou thinks it's unfavorable, don't blame Ben Hou for being unkind to you." Ximen Jingyu suppressed the anger in his heart, and years of forbearance allowed him to continue to listen to Lin Xin'er's words carefully, as long as it was beneficial to him, he could temporarily suppress this breath. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, he can wait even longer.
"Since I deliberately kept the corpse of your subordinate, Ximen Jingxuan will find out sooner or later, and he will inevitably be suspicious of Hou Ye at that time." Lin Xin'er said, seeing that Ximen Jingyu's eyes flashed a little gloomy, and she hooked her lips and chuckled, "Those who achieve great things must know how to make trade-offs, and Hou Ye is no exception, isn't it?" β
"What do you want?" Ximen Jingyu knew that Lin Xin'er was going to talk about what he was going to give up.
"Put a big fire on the Hou Mansion immediately, it's best to burn the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion completely." Lin Xin'er said, "I will leave a clue that was made by the people of Yuehua Country, and I think Master Hou knows how to deal with what happened after that." β
"You make it clear to Ben Hou!" If it weren't for the fact that he still had a little concern for his own image, Ximen Jingyu really wanted to grab Lin Xin'er's clothes and question sharply.
Lin Xin'er looked a little impatient, didn't want to say anything more, and glanced at Ximen Jingyu, who was holding back her anger, and walked towards the door of the dark room, "Hurry up and do it, when Ximen Jingxuan comes to the door, there will be more to do than this." β
"Ruined the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, how can you let Ben Hou believe you?" Ximen Jingyu turned around and asked Lin Xin'er Lingsheng.
"If the Hou Ye is reluctant, then it's okay." Lin Xin'er said in an indifferent tone, "I just want to make the plan seamless, the Hou Ye has endured it for so many years, can't he even give up a free Hou Mansion?" β
"How do you convince Benhou of your intentions?" Ximen Jingyu walked in front of Lin Xin'er, and her eyes were tightly met, half of the words made him feel at the bottom, and Lin Xin'er's disregard for him made him even more annoyed, showing that his brain as a ten-year-old person was not as good as a yellow-haired girl who was not twenty years old, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was about to destroy the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and the dignified Xiaoyao Hou easily lost the Hou Mansion, so where did he have face in the capital?
"Just because I'm Lin Xin'er." Lin Xin'er looked at Ximen Jingyu's compelling gaze without fear, "If you don't want Ximen Jingxuan to follow that corpse to find any clues, you can only listen to me." Otherwiseβ"
"Don't threaten Ben Hou!" Ximen Jingyu interrupted Lin Xin'er's words, "It's because you didn't do a good job, you didn't properly dispose of the corpse, and you came to threaten Ben Hou at this time!" β
"We're not doing well? If it weren't for the fact that Hou Ye didn't even know that he had been targeted for a long time, how could our plan be flawed? Even if Ximen Jingxuan knew that someone wanted to use him to do things, he would not fail to try to verify the identity of the corpse, I am just a person who acts on the orders of my master, and the rewards and punishments for success or failure are determined by my master, unlike Master Hou, one step out of order affects the overall situation. Lin Xin'er said.
Naturally, if the matter is revealed, Ximen Jingyu will be much heavier than a small subordinate who is ordered to do things.
"Ben Hou doesn't care about a Hou Mansion and what kind of face, Ben Hou can endure it for another eight years, so he doesn't care about this loss. But you, if the result is not satisfactory to Ben Hou, Ben Hou will definitely let your master kill you with his own hands! Ximen Jingyu stared at Lin Xin'er, and every word came out with a chill.
If it weren't for the fact that Lin Xin'er also wanted to let the plan continue to succeed and wanted to be rewarded in front of her master, Ximen Jingyu would not believe her words. At the moment, they are also on the same line, and he and her master also have mutual goals, so he wants to gamble hard for himself.
"If you're angry, save it." Lin Xin'er didn't plan to spend any more time with Ximen Jingyu, so she avoided Ximen Jingyu's barrier in a few steps and swept out of the study.
Early in the morning, most people had just woken up from their sleep, and the fireworks had already risen in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and the fire became more and more intense, engulfing the entire Hou Mansion in an instant, and the fierce fire was mixed with all kinds of panicked shouts.
However, due to the dawn, the people in the Hou Mansion were more prepared to escape, no one was buried in the fire, at most they were burned, and even Mrs. Hou was taken by the family dozens of meters away from the Hou Mansion regardless of the makeup and hair, and followed the subordinates of the Hou Mansion to live on the streets.
"What about Master Hou? What about Hou Ye? Mrs. Hou looked around.
"Mother, dad is there!" Ximen Jingyu's son, Ximen Hai, pointed to a figure that jumped out of the smoke of the Hou Mansion.
"Master Hou, what's going on?" Mrs. Hou hurriedly rushed to Ximen Jingyu and asked in a trembling voice.
