Taihao and Jacob came to the reception room the next day and saw that Lobsang Deji and Solang Tashi had been waiting for a long time in the reception room. After saying hello to them one by one, Taihao sat down on the blanket.

Lobsang Deji said: "Lord Taihao, after more than two months, the case has finally been clarified. The cause of death of the owner of this castle, Iss, was poisoning, and in the secret room we found the fragments of the body of the fake Jacob, and found that the cause of his death was that the fire ignited the poison he was carrying, and the poison exploded, and his body was then exploded into dozens of pieces in an instant. There was a red powder in those poisons. Therefore, the case has nothing to do with Lord Taihao. ”

Tai Hao pondered: The real cause of death of the fake Jacob must have been due to excessive bleeding after being wounded by the sword, and then because of the triggering of the "incineration array", his body was burned, and the poison he was carrying exploded. Now that I think about it, the explosion I heard in the secret room at that time must have been the sound of poison exploding, and his body exploded.

Lobsang Deji took out a thick pile of case files and handed them to Taihao. Taihao briefly flipped through it and said, "This is of no use to me, so I will hand it over to General Solang Tashi and present it to Tubo Zampu." With that, he handed the dossier to Solang Tashi.

Solang Tashi took the file and said that after returning to Logo, he would report the case to Zampu and implement the relevant measures as soon as possible.

When Jacob heard all this, he did not dare to make public the fact that he had killed the false Jacob with his own hands, and he showed a very shocked and sad expression. He said to Lobsang Degui, "My lord, I have one more request, could you please help us find out who is behind this plan?" Why do you want to kill my master? ”

Lobsang Deji thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Jacob's request. He said he would send his men to continue investigating the matter and try his best to find out the truth.

After listening to the case, Tai Hao said: "In my opinion, since the case is clear, there is no need to pursue it further, Lobsang Deji Yuben has done his best, the case has been investigated for more than two months before it is clear, the complexity of the case can be imagined, so don't add difficulty to Yuben." ”

Lobsang Deji nodded slightly, but did not speak. Jacob said, "If this is true, then there will be no more investigations, and I don't think those bandits will come here to do evil again." ”

Tai Hao listened to Jacob's words and agreed. He said that the case had been satisfactorily resolved, and that the most important thing now was to keep the castle and the local people safe and ensure that something like this did not happen again.

Lobsang Deji also expressed support for Taihao's decision and said that local security measures would be strengthened to ensure that the lives and property of residents are effectively protected.

At that moment, Solang Tashi said goodbye to Taihao and other officials, and led the forbidden army of the Tubo Palace to rush towards Luo.

They sent Solang Tashi outside the castle, and before leaving, Solang Tashi said to Tai Hao: "Lord Taihao is an official of the Eastern Empire, and now our Tubo and the Eastern Empire are friendly neighbors, you and I are brothers, and the people of our eastern countries in the world attach great importance to fraternal relations, and when we see each other again, we must have a drink!" ”

Tai Hao arched his hand and said, "Of course, I have made a note that if we have the opportunity to meet Brother Solang Tashi again, we must not get drunk. ”

With that, they burst out laughing.

After sending off Solang Tashi, Lobsang Deji immediately said goodbye to Taihao and returned to the official palace in Pibo City.

Tai Hao and Jacob returned to the reception room again, and Tai Hao said, "Butler, I have been in this castle for a long time, and I will stay one night today, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

Jacob sighed, "My master has passed away, and this castle cannot be a borderland. The soldiers in the castle were all trained by my master before his death, and now I am afraid that something will happen to the castle...... So I'd like to ask Tae-ho to stay and be the new owner of this castle......"

Tai Hao said: "Butler, how is this possible, since my seventh uncle is no longer here, then the owner of this castle is you!" ”

Jacob said: "This is not good, this castle was bought by my master with a lot of money, you are his nephew, and the castle should be inherited by you." ”

Tai Hao pondered for a moment and said, "I was just passing by here, and I happened to meet the Seventh Uncle, but I didn't expect the Seventh Uncle to be killed so soon." As he spoke, Tai Hao's voice suddenly choked up. How can I still be the master of the castle, besides, there are still many things for me to deal with in the Eastern Empire, and I will definitely not ignore the people in the Eastern Empire and enjoy themselves here. ”

Of course, Jacob wanted Taihao to stay, because with Taihao's identity, the soldiers in this castle would definitely not have two hearts. If Tai Hao is gone and a former butler is the master, then there will be opponents in the castle. To say that the soldiers in the castle are not officers and soldiers, but a group of militia trained by Yi Si. Most of these militiamen were poor local peasants, and some were even bandits. Although they have been trained by Yi Si, they have been very obedient to orders, but it also depends on whose order it is, and now that Yi Si has been killed, the one who can become the new owner of this castle must have the identity and the right to make the castle obey the upper and lower levels.

After hearing this, Jacob pondered for a while before saying, "Lord Taihao, you really don't want to stay here? ”

Taihao nodded and did not answer his words.

Jacob said, "In that case, I can't stay here any longer, so let this castle be abandoned or resold again." ”

Taihao's face was embarrassed and asked, "Why does it have to be like this?" ”

Jacob Cidan continued: "Lord Taihao does not understand the political system and laws of the Tubo Kingdom, don't underestimate this castle, now that my master has passed away, if I continue to stay in the castle, it is equivalent to surviving in hell, and my life will be in danger at all times." ”

Taihao said in surprise: "Huh? Why is it so serious? ”

Jacob said: "The people of Tibet have always lived in hardship, and there has always been a gap between the nobles and the common people, and since the birth of each of them, their fate has been predestined. The property of the nobility can only be inherited by the children and grandchildren of the nobility, and if one of my commoners who is not of noble origin inherits this castle, I will definitely be hated by the soldiers in the castle and the poor people in the vicinity, and I can imagine what will happen to me. ”

Tai Hao really didn't expect it to be so serious, in order to protect this castle, he could only choose to inherit the inheritance of the seventh uncle and become the new owner of the castle. But the Eastern Empire itself must also go back, and at this time, he thought of his relatives and friends in the Eastern Empire. For a moment, I was in a dilemma.

Tai Hao thought for a while, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, then I will first agree to become the new owner of the castle......

"Great!" Jacob said excitedly, "It's good that Lord Taihao doesn't leave." ”

Tai Hao said: "Eh, I didn't say I wouldn't leave, I definitely have to go back to the Eastern Empire." ”

When Jacob heard him say this, he didn't know what to do. Taihao said that he wanted to be the new owner of the castle, and on the other hand, he said that he still wanted to return to the Eastern Empire, what did he mean?

Taihao called a soldier and asked him to call Luo Xiu to the reception room, and the soldier left.

After a while, Luo Xiu came to the reception room and asked Taihao what was the matter with him?

Tai Hao smiled and asked, "Luo Xiu, do you still want to learn martial arts from me?" ”

Luo Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Of course you do, you promised to let me worship you as a teacher?" ”

Taihao said: "I can teach you martial arts, but you also have to promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter?" Luo Xiu asked hurriedly.

Tai Hao said calmly: "You don't want to go back to the Eastern Empire with me, stay here well, and guard this castle for me......" Speaking of this, Luo Xiu hurriedly interrupted him and said, "What do you mean by this?" If I learned martial arts, why can't I go to the Eastern Empire, and if I don't go there, how can I avenge my grandfather and aunt? ”

Tai Hao continued: "Don't worry, wait for me to finish speaking, I will avenge your grandfather and aunt's revenge, because you must know that even if you learn martial arts, it is very difficult to deal with the 'four ghosts' and 'four little ghosts'." It is also a difficult task for you to protect this castle here, and this task will not be easier than avenging your grandfather and aunt. ”

Jacob Cidan hurriedly asked, "Lord Taihao, do you mean to let this young man be the master of the castle?" If that's the case, it's useless to teach him martial arts, because I also know martial arts, but martial arts are not a weapon for the soldiers who rule this castle. ”

Tai Hao woke up and said: "Yes, I almost forgot that the butler is the junior brother of Kozha Demba, and the martial arts will definitely not be bad, the butler means that the soldiers in the castle will not be afraid of ...... who are stronger than themselves."

Jacob hurriedly responded: "The level of martial arts in the Tubo Kingdom does not mean anything, for every citizen of the Tubo Kingdom, blood is the only criterion to measure status. If you are a nobleman at birth, you will be a nobleman all your life, you will be a poor peasant when you are born, you will be a poor peasant all your life, and if you want to change your identity and status, there is only one way to reincarnate, no matter how high your martial arts are, it is useless. ”

Taihao couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard such a system, he didn't understand that there would be such a system in the whole world.

Tai Hao nodded and said to Jacob, "Butler, can you gather all the soldiers in the castle into the courtyard?" I have something to say to them. ”

Jacob didn't ask too much, nodded in agreement, and got up and left the reception room.

Luo Xiu asked Tai Hao, "Is it true that you just said that you went to avenge me?" ”

Tai Hao nodded and said: "It's too dangerous for you to deal with them, it's more certain that I will go to them in person, besides, the 'four ghosts' and 'four little ghosts' are also looking for me constantly, and I won't spare them." ”

Luo Xiu said: "Since this is the case, when will you start teaching me martial arts?" ”

Taihao said: "Start today!" ”

When Luo Xiu heard Tai Hao say that he would start teaching himself martial arts today, he immediately smiled and said, "Great, then you will be my master in the future, master!" ”

Tai Hao smiled and nodded, and said, "So you also promised not to go back to the Eastern Empire with me?" ”

Luo Xiu said: "As long as you promise to teach me martial arts, I will agree to all your arrangements, I know that the master will not harm the apprentice." ”

At this moment, Accord returned to the reception room and said to Tai Hao: "I have already ordered to go down, and now the soldiers in the castle have gathered in the courtyard. ”
