Xiao Yan's study is very bright and spacious.

Lu Jia was unceremonious, and sat directly on the chair behind the table, with no posture at all, his legs were on the big table of pear blossom wood, his feet were shaking lightly, and his eyes were looking at the room.

There are many books in the collection, and the variety is huge.

There are no antique calligraphy and paintings, but there are two famous swords.

There was a book on the table that he hadn't finished reading, Lu Jia picked it up casually, a local miscellaneous book, Xiao Yan also marked it on it, and the words were better than others.

Creak~

Lu Jia's eyelids lifted and saw Xiao Yanyi coming in with blood stains on his clothes.

Xiao Yan was stunned when he saw Lu Jia's sitting posture, then closed the door with his backhand, and laughed, "You don't see the outside, my pear blossom wood table is three thousand taels of silver a piece, and the thirteen tables are afraid of bumping into them, but you go directly to your feet." ”

Lu Jia confessed, "It's not that I spend money, I feel sorry for something." ”

Xiao Yan: ......

Lu Jia threw Xiao Yan's jade pendant on the table at random, "You jade pendant, everyone who follows you knows that this jade pendant is important?" ”

Xiao Yan stepped forward and scooped up the jade pendant and hung it up, "Did they stop you?" ”

"Isn't this nonsense, the dignified prince of the Rong'an Hou Mansion, the study of the Lord Shangshu of the Criminal Department, that anyone can enter?"

Xiao Yan smiled: "The jade pendant is the only thing my mother left me, I always hang it on my body, no one is allowed to touch it, and everyone who follows me knows it." ”

"Why is no one allowed to touch it?"

Xiao Yan half-lowered his eyes, looked at Lu Jia, who was hanging his son, was silent for a moment, and said, "Because it is important, I am afraid that I will be lost by others." ’

Lu Jia raised his eyebrows very lightly, "Then you are not afraid of encountering thieves on the street and losing them?" ”

"No, it won't." Xiao Yan said.

He said firmly, Lu Jia raised his lips, "So confident? ”

"Kyoto's thieves and Hanako were all raised by me." Xiao Yan confessed.

Lu Jia suddenly understood what he meant.

The so-called black and white have been intertwined with each other since ancient times, but in this way, officials raise bandits, bandits harm people, people sue officials, officials arrest bandits, and so on.

The corners of his mouth were pursed, and Lu Jia didn't speak.

Xiao Yan took a few steps back and leaned against the bookshelf next to him, "What?" Think I'm not worthy of the virtue of this official? ”

"Are you worthy?" Lu Jia looked at him.

Looking at each other, Xiao Yan laughed at himself, "I am worthy of my conscience." ”

"Really? Lord Xiao still has a conscience? ”

"Otherwise, why could you sit here and talk to me instead of being hung in the interrogation room of the Criminal Department?" Xiao Yan hugged his arms and said indifferently.

Lu Jia suddenly laughed, "What does this mean, Lord Xiao is going to be open and honest with me today?" ”

"Then it depends on how sincere you are."

"My sincerity depends on whether Lord Xiao is willing to say anything about Yu Pei, if you say it, I will tell you what you want to know, if you don't say it, there is no way."

"The jade pendant was given to me by my mother the day before she died, she told me three times, telling me to hang this jade pendant in the most conspicuous place on the body, but not to lose it, if someone finds me with this jade pendant, I want to ask him, is it from Qianzhou? He said that he was from Huzhou, so I could trust that person, and if he didn't do it, it wouldn't be right. ”

Lu Jia originally thought that Xiao Yan would delay for a moment or two, or simply not say anything.

I didn't expect to not only say it, but also say it so happily.

It was an accident.

Twisting his fingers, Lu Jia's swaying feet stopped, and said, "I can't match your code." ”

"I know."

"Then why are you telling me?"

"Because I want to know everything else about my mother, you know, don't you?"

After saying this, they looked at each other again.

Under Xiao Yan's eyes, there was intense anger and grief, although it was suppressed, the effect was not very good, it was completely a fire twist that could be ignited with a little flame.

"Have you ever seen this jade pendant before your mother gave you this jade pendant?" After looking at each other for a while, Lu Jia asked.

Xiao Yan shook her head, "No, the first time I took it, it was that she stuffed it directly to me at night, and when I wanted to ask again, she had already begun to have dystocia, and when she gave birth to the child easily, she died before I could go in to see her." ”

Xiao Yan's voice was not calm when he said these words.

His eyes were bloodshot and filled with tears, but he couldn't help but not snaked down.

"I, when I was fifteen years old, was almost humiliated to death by the Lu family, when I fell ill on the Zhuangzi, none of the servants in the Zhuangzi would give me a doctor, the house where I lived did not burn charcoal, and the wind of the cold winter moon blew in through the window without window paper.

At that time, I thought I was going to die.

In the middle of the night came the man.

The man took me away.

I was sick and groggy, and when I opened my eyes again, I arrived at the barracks of the Pingwei Army.

I stayed with the man in the military camp of the Pingwei Army for two days, and I accidentally saw that the old Pingwei Army had a jade pendant that was exactly the same as my jade pendant. ”

Lu Jia looked at Xiao Yan, and shock rolled in his heart.

On that snowy night, the person who went to the barracks with the scar man turned out to be Xiao Yan!

"That'...... The old general didn't see the jade pendant on your waist? Didn't ask anything? Lu Jiadao.

Xiao Yan shook his head, "At that time, my jade pendant fell into the hands of a servant on Zhuangzi, and the old general didn't know that I had a jade pendant that was exactly the same as him, and I didn't have time to ask him what was going on with that jade pendant, so he went to the battlefield." ”

After a pause, Xiao Yan probably wanted to pull out a smile, but he was so uncomfortable in his heart that he couldn't pull out this smile, so he simply gave up.

"That was the first and last time I saw him, and even though he was in Kyoto, I didn't happen to be in Kyoto at the time, and then I ...... At the beginning of this year, the Pingwei army was completely annihilated. ”

Xiao Yan took a deep breath.

"I don't know what your identity is, what you have to do when you kill so many people, what you have to do when you come to Kyoto, but I will just say a word, if you come because of the Pingwei Army, no matter what you want to do, I am willing to help you."

Lu Jia suppressed the emotions rolling in his heart, and smiled lightly, "You and the old general Pingwei, to put it bluntly, but for the sake of a one-sided jade pendant, do you want to help me?" ”

"So, you're from the Pingwei Army?" Xiao Yan asked rhetorically.

"I'm just making an analogy." Lu Jiadao.

Xiao Yan stared at Lu Jia, "Aren't you from the Pingwei Army?" ”

"Now is it your turn to ask me to answer? It seems that Lord Xiao still hasn't said anything clearly, for example, why do you have to help me if I am a member of the Pingwei Army? ”

Xiao Yan twisted his fingers, and the fingertips of his thumb kept rubbing the tips of his index fingers, as if he was playing a game in his heart, and said, "Because I have always suspected that my mother is the daughter of the real old general Pingwei, and Ning Concubine is not."

And today, it just so happens that I got the verification.

Do I have a question for this reason? ”

"The man who took you that night has a scar on his face, doesn't he?"

Lu Jia asked in a word, and Xiao Yan was shocked, "How do you know?" ”

"Who is he?"
