Chapter 563: Learning from the Pain
"Boom!"
The deeper the night, the more unscrupulous the storm became.
The lightning and thunder in the night were like Luo Tian's state of mind, with many ups and downs, ups and downs.
Sitting alone in the study, I wanted to read a book and meditate, but I didn't expect that Ling Xiaoxiao's face was full of words between the lines, which made Luo Tianjin more and more annoyed and bored the more he looked at it.
In the end, Nameless caught fire, tearing all the books on the table to shreds like crazy, and throwing them all over the ground.
"Squeak!"
With a soft sound, the door opened, and Xie Xuan slowly walked to the bookcase with a bowl of ginger tea.
"Mansion Master, the anger hurts the body, beware of the recurrence of internal injuries. ”
Xie Xuan carefully placed the ginger tea in front of Luo Tianjin, and then silently cleaned up the table full of shredded paper.
He understands Luo Tianjin's temperament, and knows that there are some things that he doesn't have to ask more, and when Luo Tianjin wants to tell him, he will naturally take the initiative to speak.
"Brother Xie, you are still the initiator of your vicious eyes and Jiang Yiwei's bizarre and violent death...... Sure enough, it was Ling Xiaoxiao. ”
"Shhh
Luo Tianjin's weak words made Xie Xuandeng, who was like a stagnant water, gasp, and his face was no longer calm, and he was instantly filled with horror.
"The Pigeon Biography ......"
"It's written by Granny Peach Blossom. ”
"No wonder!" The confusion that lingered in Xie Xuan's heart was finally solved, "Granny Peach Blossom knew that this matter was related to Madame, so she kept silent, presumably because she didn't want to meddle in other people's family affairs. ”
As for this, Xie Xuan's eyes suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said, "Madam, she ......"
"She's admitted it all to herself. Luo Tianjin said indignantly, "Jiang Yiwei and Li Jia both died because of her, in order to cover up the truth that she sent people to hunt down Teng Rou more than 20 years ago. ”
"This ......"
Although Xie Xuan had long been suspicious of Ling Xiaoxiao, when he heard Luo Tianjin say it in person at this moment, he still couldn't hide the turmoil in his heart.
"What are the Mansion Lord's plans?"
"I have decided to place him under house arrest for the time being. Luo Tianjin said absentmindedly, "As for what to do next...... I don't know. Brother Xie, what do you think I should do?"
"This ......" Xie Xuan frowned, his heart was numb, "This is the family matter of the lord of the mansion, how dare Xie interfere......?"
Xie Xuan wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had scruples.
"But what? But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"It's just that, after all, Madame is the pearl of Qingfeng Dao's palm, and she is also the biological mother of Son and Miss. The lord of the mansion took the liberty of putting her under house arrest, just for fear of ...... Something is wrong. Xie Xuan hesitated, "One, it's not good for us to explain to Wudang. On both sides, if this matter is publicized, it will be extremely detrimental to the reputation of the lord of the house. ”
"Yes!" Luo Tianjin smiled bitterly, "A fire in the backyard is a great shame for any man, let alone the leader of the martial arts alliance." ”
Seeing that Luo Tianjin only cared about his reputation, but ignored Wudang, and didn't seem to be worried about Qingfeng Xingshi's questioning, Xie Xuan couldn't help but be suspicious, but he only thought about it in secret, but didn't say a word on his lips.
"It's very strange. Luo Tianjin's words changed sharply, and he said for no reason, "Jiang Yiwei chased and killed Teng Rou more than 20 years ago, and I explained Xiao Zhirou's true identity to Ling Xiaoxiao, and it has been many days since then. Why didn't Ling Xiaoxiao do it early or late, and waited until we came back from Huashan?"
"What does the lord mean by this?"
"Ling Xiaoxiao really ...... from the beginning Do you want to put Jiang Yiwei to death?" Luo Tianjin muttered, "If she is worried that Jiang Yiwei will denounce herself, she will do everything possible to prevent me from being alone with Jiang Yiwei, why did she allow us to go to Huashan to participate in the martial arts conference together? Why didn't she get rid of Jiang Yiwei early? Why did she let him live so long and let him dream a lot at night?"
At this point, Xie Xuan finally heard a clue from Luo Tianjin's words, and said in surprise: "What does the mansion master mean...... Even if Madam knew that Xiao Zhirou was Teng Rou, she didn't have murderous intentions towards Jiang Yiwei?"
"Anger and dissatisfaction are needless to say, but the idea of killing Jiang Yiwei ...... There shouldn't be, otherwise she wouldn't let Jiang Yiwei leave her sight alive. Luo Tianjin said in a condensed voice, "I suspect that Ling Xiaoxiao's murderous intent towards Jiang Yiwei is very likely to be after returning from Huashan." ”
"What do you mean?" Xie Xuan looked dazed, "After returning from Huashan, Jiang Yiwei has been in a coma and has never met his wife, so why did he have murderous intentions?"
"That's where the weirdness lies. Luo Tianjin said, "Killing Jiang Yiwei in the mansion is tantamount to an adventure. After all, it's hard to kill people right under my nose without showing your feet. ”
"Unless...... Jiang Yiwei has a greater risk hidden in him, and his wife has the lesser of two evils, so he has to take the risk of killing him. Xie Xuan continued, "Thinking about it this way, Jiang Yiwei did wake up before he died, and he ......."
"And I've seen Ling Xiaoxiao. Luo Tianjin said firmly, "That night, they must have talked about something." As for the content of the conversation, it was the real reason that prompted Ling Xiaoxiao to kill people. ”
"What will they talk about?" Xie Xuan said in disbelief, "What could be more risky than the secret of hunting down Teng Rou more than twenty years ago?"
Before going to Huashan, they were doing business as usual, which showed that Ling Xiaoxiao did not have murderous intentions towards Jiang Yiwei. Luo Tianjin's eyes narrowed slightly, his fingers gently rubbed the tea bowl, and he thought, "After returning from Huashan, Jiang Yiwei was killed by Ling Xiaoxiao on the night he woke up, which shows that Ling Xiaoxiao thinks that Jiang Yiwei has become her biggest threat." Thinking about it this way, the trip to Huashan is very important. ”
Jiang Yiwei's experience in Huashan seems to be the key to solving the mystery. "Xie Xuanshun touched the melon and pondered carefully," Jiang Yiwei met Xiao Zhirou in Huashan and begged her to help...... Is it because of this incident? Madame suspected that Jiang Yiwei had colluded with Xiao Zhirou, so she was worried that he would shake out the events of the year, so she ...... it."
"It's possible, but it's not convincing to me. Luo Tianjin waved his hand and said, "If Jiang Yiwei wants to denounce, he can report it at any time after more than 20 years, so why wait until today? I expect that the relationship between Ling Xiaoxiao and Jiang Yiwei is by no means something that Xiao Zhirou can easily shake. ”
"If that's not the case, what else can be the reason?" Xie Xuan racked his brains, and finally couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know. Luo Tianjin was depressed and shook his head slowly, "Now it seems that only three people know the secret. One is Jiang Yiwei, but unfortunately he has died in Huangquan. The second is Ling Xiaoxiao, but trying to get the truth from her mouth is tantamount to a fool's dream. For now, I can only put my last hope on a third person, hoping that she can solve my doubts for me. ”
"Xiao Zhirou?" Xie Xuan was worried and hesitated, "Is she willing to say it?"
"Whether she wants it or not, I want to know!"
Luo Tianjin's attitude towards Xiao Zhirou has always been soft, but for some reason, he is unprecedentedly resolute today.
"What is the Mansion Master going to do?"
"Right now, the house is busy and chaotic, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to get out. Luo Tianjin said tiredly, "I intend to send someone to Jiangzhou to ask Xiao Zhirou to come over the house." I had to talk to her about it in person. ”
Xie Xuan hesitated: "I'm just afraid...... It wasn't easy to get her to talk about it. She still has a grudge against the lord of the mansion, which can be seen the last time they were separated in Luoyan Valley. Therefore, in the face of the invitation of the mansion master, she is very likely to be unable to shirk it. ”
"I'm going to give it a try anyway!" Luo Tianjin frowned and muttered to himself, "I don't know why? I always have a feeling that this thing is ...... It has a lot to do with me. ”
Xie Xuan was stunned: "I don't know if it's a good thing...... Or is it a bad thing?"
"I don't know. Luo Tianjin said bitterly, "A strange feeling that I can't say and can't explain." I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but it's imperative, so I have to get to the bottom of it. ”
"In that case, why don't I go to Jiangzhou......"
"No, I can't. Luo Tianjin refused, "Right now, it's the time to employ people, and the house can't do without you." What's more, it is not overnight to soften the war with Xiao Zhi, and this matter should be discussed in the long run. ”
"The lord of the house means ......"
"Don't tell the story of what happened tonight. Luo Tianjin pondered and said, "Brother Xie, you personally arrange for someone to keep an eye on Ling Xiaoxiao, but don't alarm the disciples in the mansion, so as not to spread false rumors." Also, Ling Xiaoxiao can poison Jiang Yiwei and kill Li Jia unknowingly, there must be another accomplice. Therefore, all the subordinates who served her were replaced, and found out who else in the house had close contacts with her. ”
"Yes. ”
"As for asking Xiao Zhirou to come over...... This is not a trivial matter, and it must not be taken lightly. Luo Tianjin hesitated, "In order to avoid people's eyes, we'd better find a reason." ”
"Isn't Miss's wedding an excellent reason?" Xie Xuan rolled his eyes, calculated in his heart, and proposed, "Such a happy event, the mansion owner should invite heroes all over the world......" Xie Xuan said while carefully observing Luo Tianjin's reaction.
"Go on. Luo Tianjin's eyes fluttered, as if he was carefully considering Xie Xuan's suggestion.
"The lord of the mansion can take advantage of the young lady's wedding to send a wedding card to the Valley of Despair. Xie Xuan added, "The lord of the mansion has already cleared the name of the pagan religion for the Valley of Despair, since the lord of Xiao Gu is a fellow martial artist, it is reasonable for the lord of the mansion to invite her to the wedding banquet of the young lady." As long as the Lord of Xiao Gu arrives in Luoyang City, why doesn't the Mansion Lord have a chance to talk to her alone?"
"Having said that, Yu'er is my child with Ling Xiaoxiao after all, I am worried that Rou'er will be sad when she touches the scene, and she is reluctant to go to the banquet......"
"The lord of the mansion can send the wedding card to the patriarch Teng, and he will come forward to persuade the lord of Xiao Gu. Xie Xuan said slyly, "Patriarch Teng has always adhered to the morality of the rivers and lakes, and now he is the deputy alliance leader, so he naturally obeys the orders of the martial arts alliance leader." Moreover, he also hoped that Lord Xiao Gu could integrate into the righteous path of martial arts, so how could he miss such an opportunity to make friends with heroes in the world?"
"That's good!" Luo Tianjin's eyes lit up and said excitedly, "Brother Xie's words made me pause. Do as you wish. ”
"Yes. Xie Xuan gave up his hand to receive the order, and then changed his words, and said, "Dare to ask the mansion master, Qin Ming has nothing to do and does not go to the Three Treasures Palace, how should we deal with it?"
Hearing this, the corners of Luo Tianjin's mouth couldn't help but raise a treacherous smile, and he said confidently: "I have a preliminary plan in my heart for this matter, and I have selected a good candidate to deal with Qin Ming. ”
Xie Xuan was secretly taken aback, and said curiously: "What the mansion master said is ......"
"Qin Ming's own nephew, Qin Ku. ”
