When a woman asks if you want to know, her heart must want you to think about it, just like when a woman asks if you like her, the answer she wants to hear must be like.

Su Xiaoyu knew this very well, so when Xia Yun asked this question, Su Xiaoyu said yes without hesitation, but after Su Xiaoyu finished speaking, Xia Yun was silent, and Su Xiaoyu didn't speak, he just sat quietly and waited for Xia Yun to speak.

Xia Yun was silent for a long time and finally spoke: "My father was originally a member of the imperial court, and I was originally the pearl in my father's hand. ”

Su Xiaoyu listened very carefully, because he knew that if he wanted to gain the trust of others, he must first learn to listen, and only when he learned to listen would he be trusted, and only when he was trusted would he become a friend.

Xia Yun looked at Su Xiaoyu's appearance and continued: "My life was originally very happy, and I didn't have to run around the rivers and lakes to avoid pursuit. ”

Su Xiaoyu frowned and said, "Is it because your father offended someone? Otherwise, why would someone chase and kill you." ”

Xia Yun nodded and said: "My father has been honest and honest all his life, and he can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, so my father has offended a lot of people in the officialdom, and over time, many people regard my lack of relatives as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but my father is in a high position, so although they have that heart, they can't do anything for some reasons." ”

Su Xiaoyu nodded and said: "This is the rule of officialdom, if you let most people have no meat to eat, then you will be the enemy of most people." ”

Xia Yun sighed and said: "My mother originally advised my father not to be like this, but my father just didn't listen to the persuasion, he has always done his own thing, and he can't listen to the advice of others at all, so there are more corrupt officials who are not good for the court planted in my father's hands." ”

Su Xiaoyu said in a deep voice: "It's not your father's fault. ”

Xia Yun glanced at Su Xiaoyu gratefully and said, "I also know, but at that time, my father had already set up too many enemies, and even a few of my father's friends were not very satisfied with my father. ”

Su Xiaoyu asked, "What about later?"

Xia Yun's face suddenly appeared sad, she paused and said: "In the next few months, my father was in the room every day and didn't know what he was doing, and when I went to deliver food to my father, he only opened a crack in the door, and I vaguely saw through the crack in the door that there were a lot of messy white papers on my father's desk, and there were words on the white paper, but I don't know what was written." ”

"After a few quiet months my father disappeared suddenly, and one night my father disappeared, and when I opened the door my father was no longer in the house, and the white paper on the table in the house was gone, and no one in the house knew where my father had gone. Xia Yun's voice trembled a little.

"The day after my father disappeared, more than a dozen officials jointly signed a petition against my father for embezzling public funds from the imperial court, and many people came forward to say that my father had taken bribes, so my father was accused of false crimes, and the saddest thing is that none of my father's friends on weekdays stood up to speak for my father, and then the court later cured my father's crime and put all the people in my house in prison, if it wasn't for the people in the house desperately escorting me out, then I would have been in prison at this moment. Xia Yun lowered her head and said softly.

After listening to Xia Yun's words, Su Xiaoyu said with a hint of solemnity on her face: "Your father disappeared overnight?"

Xia Yun nodded, and Su Xiaoyu continued: "However, the day after your father disappeared, other officials immediately jointly sued your father for corruption. ”

Xia Yun nodded again, and Su Xiaoyu snorted coldly: "Obviously, these people have already colluded, if it wasn't for the collusion, how could they sue your father the day after your father disappeared? ”

Xia Yun nodded and said, "It must be so, but I don't have any evidence, they won't tell me the truth at all." ”

Su Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said: "You have to have some means to do anything, if you don't have some means, no one will pay attention to you." ”

Xia Yun smiled helplessly and said: "I am now a fugitive wanted by the imperial court, they are all members of the imperial court, it is impossible to make them pay attention to me, if they see me, they will definitely arrest me." ”

Su Xiaoyu smiled and pointed to her nose and said, "Don't forget that there is still me." ”

Xia Yun frowned lightly and said, "You, do you have a way to find my father?"

Su Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "If you want to find your father first, you must first find a breakthrough, and this breakthrough is in those officials who sued your father." ”

Xia Yun said thoughtfully, "You mean to ask from those people for information about my father?"

Su Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”

It is not easy to dig out the news of Xia Zhongtang from the mouths of these court officials, if it is an excessive thing done to the officials of the imperial court, it means that it is necessary to go against the imperial court, and who dares to go against the imperial court today? There must be no such person, and there will not be in the future, Su Xiaoyu dares to say this naturally because he has his own methods and means.

Su Xiaoyu suddenly asked the coachman to stop the carriage, and Xia Yun looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Now let's go to your father first, and after we find your father, I will take you to that place." ”

Xia Yun said with a look of surprise: "Let's go now?"

Su Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Go now." ”

Under the sun, a black horse is galloping, the black horse's fur has been stained with a lot of dust, the originally shiny black is also covered with a layer of dust, and there is a young man in a blue robe sitting on the black horse, and the young face is also a little tired at this moment, obviously they have been on the road for a long time.

Although the face of the young man in blue was tired, his eyes were still bright, the young man in blue looked up and saw that there was a county town in front of him, and there was a wooden sign hanging on the tower of the county seat, and the wooden sign said Pingshan County, looking at this wooden sign The young man in blue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because this was the first place he was going to.

This young man in blue is Xiong Yu.

Xiong Yu drove the horse to the gate of the county seat and then led the horse to the county seat, as soon as he entered the county seat, Xiong Yu saw a scene of depression, this county seems to be an abandoned county seat, because there is no one to see on the street at all, from the buildings on both sides of the street It is not difficult to see the prosperity of the county seat before, but now why is the county so depressed? What happened in this county town?

Deyuan pawnshop in Pingshan County, but where to find Deyuan pawnshop in such a huge county?

Xiong Yu led the horse and walked forward slowly, the cold wind blew up the wooden plank that fell to the ground, there was a wild dog next to the wooden board, the wild dog saw Xiong Yu and immediately barked a few times, the wild dog was already thin skin and bones, Xiong Yu looked at the wild dog and couldn't bear it, he walked to the wild dog and took out a steamed bun from the burden and put it in front of the wild dog, the wild dog looked at the steamed bun and immediately whined, the wild dog rushed to the steamed bun, but when the wild dog wanted to eat the steamed bun, it fell to the ground, and the wild dog whimpered weakly a few times and died.

The wild dog had been starved to death, Xiong Yu sighed and led the horse to continue walking, and walked not far Xiong Yu's eyes suddenly lit up, because he saw a shop not far in front of him, and there was a yellowed plaque on the shop, which said Deyuan Pawnshop.

Xiong Yu quickened his pace and walked towards the Deyuan pawnshop, the door of the pawnshop was wide open, the house was already covered with dust, Xiong Yu tied the horse to the door and walked into the pawnshop, at this moment there was no one in the pawnshop, Xiong Yu frowned and said secretly in his heart: Why did the people of the dark river let me come to this deserted place?

"Who is it?" suddenly a faint voice came from the corner of the pawnshop.

Xiong Yu immediately approached with a noisy voice, and when he walked to that corner, he saw a middle-aged man sitting in a rocking chair, this man had two mustaches, and was wearing a satin robe, although his voice was weak, but he did not look like he had been hungry for many days, because this middle-aged man also had an oily roast chicken and a jar of good wine in front of him, and this middle-aged man was simply out of place in this place.

Xiong Yu looked at the middle-aged man and said slowly, "Shopkeeper Wang?"

The middle-aged man opened his eyes and looked at Xiong Yu and said, "Are you Xiong Yu?"

Xiong Yu nodded, and Shopkeeper Wang also nodded.

Xiong Yu looked at the appearance of the shopkeeper Wang and couldn't help asking, "Why is this Pingshan County like this?"

Shopkeeper Wang grabbed a chicken leg and ate a few bites and said, "You are right about this question." ”

Xiong Yu was listening, and the shopkeeper Wang continued: "Have you seen my pawnshop?"

Xiong Yu nodded, and the shopkeeper Wang continued: "Pawnshop pawn is used as a thing, when a person has no silver, it is inevitable to find a way to find some silver, but it is an extremely difficult thing to find a large amount of silver in a short time, so these people will take valuable things to my pawnshop." ”

Xiong Yu frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Xiao Suo in the town?"

The shopkeeper Wang smiled and said: "The silver is used for flowers, so the silver is always gone quickly, my pawnshop has a lot of silver, and the price I pay has always been very high, so they continue to take things as pawns, so over time, the people in the county town have pressed all their belongings in my pawnshop, and all their belongings are mine, what else do they have to do? So they have to leave, so this Pingshan County slowly became my own." ”

Xiong Yu gasped and said, "You really have so much silver?"

The corner of the king's shopkeeper grinned: "If you have any good things on you, you can also bet on me, and there is no second pawnshop in the world that can do the money I have produced." ”

Xiong Yu suddenly pulled out his sword and said, "Do you think this side by side is worth a lot of silver?"

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the sword in Xiong Yu's hand, and his eyes immediately glowed, and he smiled and slowly stretched out four fingers.
