"Didn't you have time to meet me?"

Knowing that Xiao Yuruo went to King Huaining's night banquet, but was stunned by Xiao Qingyan's instructions, Xiao Kun was already full of doubts, and after Xiao Qingyan refused to come to see him, he was even more angry.

Facing Xiao Qingyan, who came late at night, Xiao Kun didn't have a good face.

Xiao Qingyan stood with his hands down, and said without a hint of guilt: "Qingyan is really not available. ”

"You ......"

Xiao Qingyan interrupted his questioning very dryly: "My mother went to the Xu family for a banquet today, and the Xu family killed the Xiao family's coachman in order to cling to the eldest princess of Nanyang, and handed my mother over to the eldest princess. ”

"What?" The anger on Xiao Kun's face didn't have time to dissipate, and he looked at her in a daze.

Xiao Qingyan changed the topic: "I know that you and the third uncle are bent on taking advantage of the changes in the situation between the DPRK and China to revive the lintel of the Xiao family, and we are worried that we will miss the opportunity, but you must also know that once you choose the wrong camp, the Ji family's today will be the tomorrow of our Xiao family." ”

"I naturally know this, but in the current situation, King Huaining is the best choice, are you optimistic about King Guang'an? That's right, our Xiao family was able to escape a difficult situation before, and it did rely on the prestige of King Guang'an, but Jiulang, you are too young, you can't just look at people for a while, and now King Huaining was rewarded by His Majesty as soon as he entered Beijing. ”

"Is it His Majesty's reward?" Xiao Qingyan looked at Xiao Kun indifferently, "Your Majesty was born stupid, and now he is dying, I'm afraid that I won't be able to give even a complete will." ”

They all knew very well that everything was just what Empress Dowager Yang meant.

"Do you think Empress Dowager Yang can tolerate King Huaining?"

Xiao Kun was silent, they hadn't thought about this, but ......

"Since you've endured it for so many years, why rush at this time?" Xiao Qingyan said, "The opportunity for our Xiao family will always come, but not now, what we have to do now is to try not to let the Xiao family fall into the same fate as the Ji family." ”

Capturing the remorse in Xiao Kun's eyes, Xiao Qingyan knew that her uncle and grandfather had listened to her words.

She walked to the bookcase on the side, wrote down the names of the five people one after another, as well as their duties in the East and West Courtyards, and then handed the list to Xiao Kun.

"Uncle and grandfather, do you still remember the detailed work that assassinated Xiao Qingxu before? This is a list of other details that he has just confessed. ”

Xiao Kun glanced at the list, they had already caught a batch of detailed works before, but they didn't expect that there would be so many, it was simply appalling.

Xiao Qingyan said: "In order to prevent fish from slipping through the net, these five people still need to be interrogated after being caught, but in order not to startle the snake, it is not appropriate to make a noise about the arrest, Qingyan has already made arrangements on the periphery, and wants to ask his uncle and grandfather for authorization to let Nie Yao enter the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard to arrest people." ”

Xiao Kun looked deeply at the young man in front of him, his mother was arrested, this child could still be so calm and do so much quietly.

"Wait a minute."

Xiao Kun got up and entered the inner room, and when he came out, he handed a black token to Xiao Qingyan.

"Go ahead!"

The black token was cast with the silver Xiao family crest, which was a token that only the head of the Xiao family could hold.

Xiao Qingyan held the token and bowed solemnly.

When the housekeeper Qian Dongping came to the door, he saw Xiao Qingyan leaving with the token, he entered the house and said to Xiao Kun carefully: "Family master, Jiulang has really grown up, and he has put his hand into the east courtyard, and then I am afraid that I will move my mind to be the head of the house." ”

Xiao Kun stared at the door, and strangely, Qian Dongping didn't see a little dissatisfaction on his face.

With the family master token, Nie Yao and Zhou Shu cooperated, and soon quietly caught the five fine works to the dark room, both male and female.

Nie Yao has always been disgusted with Lai Xing, but when he heard the sound of a detailed confession coming from the dark room and saw the list that Lai Xing sent to him, Nie Yao had to face up to this man with a stiff figure and an obscene face.

He suddenly remembered that he didn't understand why the young master wanted to contain such a notorious cool official, and the young master said at that time......

"Lai Xing is indeed not a good person, but there is no absolute good or bad person, just like a knife and gun can kill people and save people, it all depends on how the person holding the knife and gun uses it."

The fine workers didn't know the list of all the accomplices, but everyone would always know one or two, so as to facilitate the usual contact, so that the radish was pulled out and the mud was brought out, and soon Nie Yao arrested all the fine works.

These meticulous works have been lurking in the Xiao family for so long, and they already know too much about the affairs of the Xiao family, and they can't keep any of them.

Qian Dongping spread the news to Xiao Kun's ears, but for some reason, Xiao Kun was still shivering while wearing a coat.

"Kuro...... How did he get those people to speak? ”

Qian Dongping said: "The villain asked, Zhou Shu said that he has a distant cousin, named Zhou Shan, who used to be a jailer in the county government, and now he is left by Jiulang, who is the one who pried open the mouth of those fine works." ”

As he spoke, he took out the family master token.

"Jiurou asked the villain to return this."

Xiao Kun took the token, the token is made of metal, it does have some weight, but it is not unstable, but Xiao Kun feels that the palm of his hand is falling, and it is heavy.

He's really old.

They're all old!

Xiao Kun looked at the candle flame in the room, his eyes were a little cloudy.

Qian Dongping whispered: "Family master, since these fine works have been arranged by the Queen Mother, they should more or less know the purpose of the Queen Mother, but Jiulang didn't tell you anything, he inevitably didn't take you seriously when he did this." ”

Qian Dongping originally wanted to please Xiao Kun, and he had never made a mistake in doing so in the past, but this time, hearing his words, Xiao Kun suddenly frowned, and glared at him very sternly and coldly.

"Shut up! You dog, Jiulang is the young master of the Xiao family, when will it be your turn to arrange it? ”

Qian Dongping knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but what he thought in his heart was, isn't the head of the family evil today? Why do you want to protect Jiuro so much?

"Quietly send someone to the eldest princess's mansion to investigate, what does Nanyang want to do when he takes away Dalang's daughter-in-law?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Kun sent someone to inquire about Wang Yun's news, but Xiao Qingyan returned to the Stopping Courtyard to rest.

The whereabouts of the mother are already known, and the purpose of the other party taking away the mother is also known, and she has already done what she can do, and then she can only wait, waiting for the eldest princess's people to come to the door.

The next day.

The people who didn't wait for the eldest princess of Nanyang waited for Xu Zhan.

As soon as Xu Zhan came to the door, he asked to see the elders of the Xiao family, Xiao Qingyan didn't want to pay attention to his request, but Xiao Kun had already heard the news.

"This is the marriage letter made by the Xiao and Xu families back then, I will return it to the Xiao family today, from now on, the marriage contract between the two families will be stopped, I wish Xiao Jiulang can hire another good woman."
