Xiao Qingyan took a sip of cold tea, put down the cup and got up to leave, even she had to admire, this old woman's actions were really fast and ruthless.

Empress Dowager Yang eradicated these thorns in her side that posed the greatest threat to her, and once again proved to the world that she has absolute power and can do whatever she wants, and no one in the world can resist her.

The Xiao family is the same, the county lord of Changle, Xiao Qingyan, has to marry her, and she has to marry if she doesn't.

……

Xu Zhan ordered people to search for a day and a night in the city, but they never found Xu Jingyuan, so they had to ask for the eldest princess of Nanyang.

As the morning light grew, the eldest princess of Nanyang was disheveled, leaning lazily on the table, and Lin Yuan knelt beside her in wide clothes and pressed her forehead for her.

"So you suspect that the Xiao family kidnapped your son?"

"Yes! The subordinate carefully asked the people of Fengyue Pavilion, a big living person with a good dog, it is impossible to disappear out of thin air, it must be the Xiao family who has a grudge, so that the plan will tie people up, and the subordinate has already searched all the places he can find, and there is really no way, so he can only come to ask for help from the eldest princess. ”

The eldest princess of Nanyang squinted her eyes and was careless: "Maybe your father and son have offended some enemy, not necessarily the Xiao family." ”

Xu Zhan lowered his head, thinking to himself, he was just a lowly petty official, he had always kept to himself, who did he dare to offend in this princely and princely Luojing City?

It's not because you helped your eldest princess do evil that you got into such trouble!

Could it be that the princess is about to marry the Xiao family, so she wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, and throw their Xu family out to vent the anger of the Xiao family?

So what is his Xu family's plan to camp like this?

Xu Zhan pestled the ground with his head: "Eldest princess, there is really no way for the ministers, please see that our father and son are cattle and horses for you, Kaien helps the ministers, and the ministers only have such a son!" ”

The maidservant girl brought hot tea, and the eldest princess of Nanyang took a sip of Lin Kite's hand, and then raised her eyes to look at Xu Zhan.

"They are all parents, if you want to find a son, I also have to think about my daughter, my Changle will marry into the Xiao family tomorrow, I can't make the Xiao family unhappy because of your affairs, and then she will be angry with Changle, and it will be difficult for her to do it in her husband's family."

Xu Zhan secretly hated: This hateful-looking wicked woman really wanted to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

I heard Nanyang say with a smile: "Since you suspect that the Xiao family kidnapped your son, why don't you go to the Xiao family to ask for someone?" Qingtian Langlang, you are standing at the door of their Xiao family, do they dare not hand over people? ”

Xu Zhan raised his head and saw the eldest princess of Nanyang leaning on the arms of the handsome Lin Kite, her eyes were deeply sunken, her thin lips were slightly upturned, and her face was calculating.

Coming out of the eldest princess's mansion, Xu Zhan quietly took a sip.

Where is the eldest princess of Nanyang helping him? is clearly using him to smear the Xiao family and put pressure on the Xiao family.

Although his heart is like a mirror, he can only do what he says.

Xiao family.

The red silk that was flying all over the courtyard made Zhou Shu feel extremely dazzling, and he hurried to the Stopping Courtyard and found the study.

"Young master, Xu Zhan asked us to hand over Xu Jingyuan outside the door, and there are already many people outside."

Xiao Qingyan knelt behind the bookcase and picked up a pen to write something, without looking up: "You admit it?" ”

"Of course not."

"There is no evidence, if he is willing to stand, let him stand, and leave him alone."

Xiao Qingyan finished writing the last stroke and pushed the paper in front of Jian Xin.

Jian Xin dried the ink, read the content carefully, smiled on her pretty face, and nodded heavily.

……

However, in just a few days, there have been major events in Beijing.

In the past, Taiwei Ji Wenruo was tragically exterminated, his sister Queen Ji was given wine, and the queen's son King Jinyang was imprisoned in Yonghuatai in the suburbs of Beijing.

Later, the two kings of Huaining and Guang'an were killed.

Even the wind in Luojing City seems to be dyed with blood,

But after all, these are court affairs, ordinary people can't touch them, they don't know much about them, and the officials and scholars don't dare to discuss the government in vain, for fear of getting into trouble.

In this way, on the contrary, the news that the Yunling Xiao family forcibly divorced the Xu family in order to cling to the powerful has become a hot topic of discussion on the streets.

In the most prosperous area of Luojing, on the Yifang Restaurant, which is known for its elegance, the young scholars have wide robes and big sleeves, and their demeanor is elegant, and the rice paper is spread all over the ground, and the indoor ink is fragrant and the wine is strong.

"The high wind destroys the beautiful wood, and the clouds cover the moon."

A man with his hair covered in his arms is carrying a wine bowl in one hand and a pen in the other.

When the ink stopped, he threw the brush in his hand, raised his head, and poured the clear and mellow wine into his mouth.

Two lines of tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, blending seamlessly with the wine on his lips, he got up and laughed wildly, the laughter made the hearts of everyone around him sad, and they couldn't help but cry with him.

The court was dark, the ministers of the humerus were killed one after another, and the descendants of the royal family watched the ancestral foundation building collapse, but they only knew that they were swaying and killing each other.

Confucian orthodoxy has been wantonly trampled on, benevolence, righteousness and morality have become a dead letter, and the learned people are full of ambitions, but they can't be rewarded for their ambitions, and they dare not speak if they have words.

Now, even the Yunling Xiao family, who has been famous for many years, has finally bowed to arrogance and bowed to the filthy world.

So what hope do they have?

Just when everyone was immersed in despair, there was a "bang", and the empty wine was thrown to the ground by the scholar, and the white shadow in front of everyone's eyes flickered, and the scholar rushed to the railing and jumped down.

There was an exclamation from the crowd, and everyone hurriedly rushed to the railing.

I saw that the gentleman's head was bleeding, and he stood up with difficulty under the watchful eyes of the pedestrians on the street, but he didn't say a word, as if he was a walking corpse who didn't feel pain, and laughed stupidly.

At this time, the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion passed through the streets and decorated the sides of the street with red silk and colored silk.

"Not good!" Someone in the restaurant exclaimed.

Someone else shouted, "Go and stop him!" ”

Someone rushed downstairs in a hurry, but it was too late.

The scholar was like a demon, his body staggered, his neck was raised and he shouted, as if laughing and crying: "Foolish people sit in the temple, poisonous women mess with the court!" A woman takes control! Poisonous woman, your mother and daughter are sinners of the Great Jin! Sinner! ”

This is to scold the Ninety-Five, the Queen Mother, and the eldest princess of the dynasty.

After scolding, the scholar spat out a mouthful of blood foam on the ground.

"Dare to rebel! Dare to insult His Majesty and the Queen Mother Princess in the street! ”

When the people in the eldest princess's mansion heard the abuse, the person at the head shouted loudly.

As soon as the few people who rushed downstairs ran to the door of the restaurant, they looked ahead, and a thin bamboo pole pierced the throat of the scholar, and the blood was like a flying arrow, shooting into the air.

Screams erupted in the street, and several people stopped suddenly, covering their mouths with red eyes, for fear of making a little noise and attracting the attention of the murderer.

The murderer stood in the distance, tall, with heavy hair hanging down on one side, covering one eye, and the exposed eye looked at the corpse lying on the ground without emotion, and the gloomy eyes made people shudder.

Behind a screen on the second floor of the restaurant, Xie Xingzhi leaned against the window, awakened by the shouts on the street, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a stream of blood shooting into the air, bewitching like a flower.
