Volume 1 Awakening Chapter 3 Bad News

Xiao Yu left the teahouse, and his mood was very uneasy along the way.

Looking at the ring on his left hand, Xiao Yu was always worried about when his martial energy would disappear.

The journey home from the teahouse is not far, and it takes half an hour to walk along Shengwu Avenue, which is the most special area of Wuzhou City - the Supervision Yuan.

The Supervision Yuan belongs to the Supervision Department, and the relatives who live here are naturally the relatives of the Supervision Department, and ordinary outsiders can't appear here casually, even those nobles are taboo and unwilling to enter this area.

The Supervision Department was a special agency of the Great Qin Empire that specialized in supervising the aristocracy. Under normal circumstances, the Inspectorate cannot interfere with the laws of the Empire, and is even bound by itself. But if a nobleman violates the code of nobility, the role of the Inspectorate is powerful, and it can override the law and forcibly sanction a nobleman.

Xiao Yu's father is an inspector, and he is definitely one of the best people in Wuzhou City, so the place where Xiao Yu lives is naturally the best location of the Supervision Yuan.

Shaking his head, Xiao Yu planned to put aside the distractions brought by the old man for the time being, and as for whether the martial energy would disappear, he could only resign himself to fate, because he knew that he could not do anything at all.

After some adjustment, Xiao Yu crossed the familiar road to the door of the house, and before he entered the courtyard, he saw a carriage parked in the courtyard, and recognized who it belonged to at a glance.

Why is Uncle Li here?

Xiao Yu was full of doubts, Uncle Li was his father's best friend, and many times they saw each other more times than they spent with their father. It can be said that during the five years in Wuzhou City, Uncle Li played a very important role in the lives of Xiao Yu's brothers and sisters.

Walking into the courtyard, Xiao Yu didn't have time to think about why Uncle Li came over, when he heard his sister's cry, and the heart-rending crying made his heart ache.

What happened?

Why is my sister crying?

So sad, so painful, as if losing the most precious thing in life.

The uneasiness made Xiao Yu panic, his sister has always been a strong girl, and he had never heard her cry so heartbreakingly.

Something must have happened that made my sister sad, and with my sister's strength, it seems to be ......

The conjecture frightened Xiao Yu, and he hurriedly suppressed his thoughts, forcing himself not to think crankily.

"Xiao Yu is back."

Uncle Li's voice pulled Xiao Yu back from his panic, he was dressed in black, this is the typical clothing of the staff of the Supervision Department, the only difference may be the badge on his chest, which is the exclusive badge of the procurator general, which is second only to the position of the Supervision Envoy in Wuzhou City.

Xiao Yu's gaze touched Uncle Li's face, and his heart suddenly sank.

"What happened? Why is my sister crying? ”

Xiao Yu's voice was full of uneasiness, and there was sadness in Uncle Li's eyes, which couldn't hide it from him.

Li Jixian sighed lightly, stared into Xiao Yu's eyes, and said with a sad face: "There is something that must be notified to you, I hope you are mentally prepared." ”

"Uncle Li, don't scare me, my little nephew can't stand to be scared."

Xiao Yu was very uneasy, he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh at this time, and a very bad premonition made him flustered.

Li Jixian looked at the frightened Xiao Yu a little unbearable, but he finally sighed: "I've thought about it for a long time, and I don't know how to tell you, but you will know about this sooner or later, so I decided to tell you as soon as possible." Just last night, your father died in the line of duty, and I would like to mourn the change. ”

Father is dead!?

Xiao Yu's eyes widened, this news was a bolt from the blue to him.

"Uncle Li, you must be joking, right?"

Xiao Yu was completely blindfolded, only to feel that something had collapsed, and fear made him have no master, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"It's all true, now that the Supervision Department is looking for the murderer, Uncle Li will definitely catch the murderer and avenge your father."

Li Jixian stared at Xiao Yu's eyes, his gaze was extremely sharp, this was his promise, he would do whatever it takes.

Xiao Yu could feel Li Jixian's determination, but his father died, and now that their family was left with himself and his sister, he was at a loss.

"How did my father die?"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath, the paleness on his face did not decrease in the slightest, but he looked much calmer.

Li Jixian said in a deep voice: "Your father died in Qinlou, he was on a mission at the time, and according to the situation at the scene, it was judged that he was assassinated, and it is not clear who the murderer is." ”

Qin Lou?

Xiao Yu's eyelids jumped, he knew what kind of place Qin Lou was, which made him a little puzzled, why his father would go to such a place and be assassinated here. Xiao Yu didn't know any information, and these could only be told by Uncle Li.

"Who the hell is going to kill my father?"

Xiao Yu stared at Li Jixian, he wanted Uncle Li to answer him, but when he asked this, he understood that the people in the Supervision Department generally would not tell outsiders about the murder of the Inspector, even if his father used to be the Inspector, this matter also needs to be kept secret. Xiao Yu knew that he shouldn't ask, but the revenge of killing his father was not shared, no matter who it was, no matter who was involved, he must take revenge.

Li Jixian hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your father came to Wuzhou City with a mission, he drew up a list, this thing is very important, but for some reason the news leaked, so that it caused a disaster. ”

"List?"

Xiao Yu was taken aback, and Li Jixian's answer shocked him.

Li Jixian stared at Xiao Yu's eyes and said, "This list is very important, did your father mention it to you?" ”

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "My father never mentioned it, and he wouldn't tell our brothers and sisters about the affairs of the General Supervision Department." ”

Li Jixian said: "You're right, Brother Xiao won't tell you this kind of thing." By the way, there is one more thing, I have already bought a new house for your brother and sister, you go and pack your things immediately, and I will call someone to come and help you move later. ”

Xiao Yu's face changed, and he stared at Li Jixian and said, "Why do you want us to move away?" ”

The expression on Li Jixian's face was very embarrassed, and he explained: "This residence belongs to the Supervision Department, and Brother Xiao is no longer here, so the Supervision Department naturally wants to take it back." But don't think too much about it, the Inspectorate will be responsible for all the costs of the new home. ”

Xiao Yu had anger in his eyes, and stared at Li Jixian and said, "Whose decision is this?" ”

Li Jixian smiled bitterly: "This is the decision of supervising the imperial history, and Uncle Li can't do anything." ”

Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly, as soon as his father died, he drove their brothers and sisters out, which was simply a stone. However, the Supervision Department did not do anything and bought a house for their brother and sister, otherwise they would really have no place to live.

Xiao Yu didn't have any gratitude in his heart, all of this was the reward that the Supervision Department should give to his father who died in the line of duty. Compared to these, Xiao Yu would rather his father be alive and well.

"Your father's body will remain in the Supervision Department for the time being, and the funeral will be handed over to Uncle Li. Don't overthink it and take care of your sister. ”

Li Jixian patted Xiao Yu's shoulder, his eyes full of bitterness and sympathy.

Seventeen years old, still a child, and in the future to take care of a thirteen-year-old sister, just think about it to know that it is difficult.

Looking at Xiao Yu, who had no master of the six gods, Li Jixian wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it. It's not that Li Jixian doesn't want to, but he can't, even the prosecutor general needs to strictly abide by the order.

Li Jixian's eyes flashed with anger and helplessness, he knew that for Xiao Yu's brothers and sisters, the really difficult days had just begun.

What to do?

Xiao Yu was very dazed, and he didn't even pay attention to Li Jixian's departure. In the past, although his father rarely went home, he was the pillar of the family, but now that he has lost his father, Xiao Yu is really blind.

Calm down!

My father said that no matter what you face, you must be calm to ensure that you do not make mistakes.

Xiao Yu wanted to calm down, but the sadness couldn't be stopped at all, his eyes soon turned red, and tears overflowed uncontrollably.

Father is dead!?

Father is really dead!

"Brother!"

My sister's sad cry woke up Xiao Yu, I don't know when this girl appeared, tears couldn't stop overflowing her eyes, she was so sad and helpless in a snow-white dress.

Xiao Yu couldn't stop his tears at all, and the grief was overwhelming in his chest, making him almost suffocated.
