Xia Houyan silently looked at the ledger in her hand, until just now she realized that a large sum of money was suddenly missing from the family.

A very scary number.

Originally, with Xia Houyan's background, she would not pay attention to any amount of money.In Swordsman, she had the guts to directly ask Dongfang Bubai for ten thousand taels of gold, but now that she saw this account book, she had to say that the amount of unaccounted money she found was really huge.

It can be said that Xiahou's family is sitting on the wealth of the world, and the property in the family is only a little worse than the national treasury. Xiahouyan roughly estimated that this money is the income of the richest state and county in Daxia for four years. man crazy wealth.

Is the death of father and brother related to this unaccounted for wealth?

A few days ago, Xia Houyan's mother finally woke up. Xia Houyan was carrying the formula of longevity. The longevity zhenqi is one of the most suitable zhenqi in the world for healing. Under Xia Houyan's zhenqi treatment, her mother finally woke up.

But the mother had nothing to say about the murderer.

Masked in black, with a standard killer look, that's all she saw.

But no matter what, Xia Houyan relaxed a lot when her mother woke up. Her mother is also in charge of the family affairs. Although her body has not recovered yet, she has enough deterrent effect when she wakes up.

Whether it's for the royal family or the Xiahou family.

"Yan'er, when did you learn martial arts?"

Xia Houyan went to find her mother with the accounts, but her mother changed the subject and asked this question.

Xia Houyan pursed her lips, remembering the oath she made to her father. Now that her father is gone, do you want to keep this oath?

It seemed to be just a moment, but in fact Xia Houyan had a lot of entanglements in her mind, and finally she just smiled at her mother: "A few years ago, my father asked me to learn it."

Mrs. Xia Hou nodded, seemingly satisfied with her daughter's answer. She took Xia Houyan's hand, but she didn't know how the system worked. But now, there is not even a trace left in her hands when the old man Duan taught her how to practice sword some time ago. These are a pair of standard ladies' hands.

"It's been hard for you these days." Mother's hand gently stroked Xia Houyan's head.

Xia Houyan leaned gently in her mother's arms, carefully controlling her strength so as not to overwhelm her mother. This feeling of peace of mind was only felt by Ye Gucheng's side before.

Now her mother and younger brother are her only remaining relatives.

She must protect them well.

Then Xia Houyan saw the old man Duan. After practicing the Shenzhao Sutra, the temperament of the old man Duan changed a lot, from the original cold and weird to the current aloof and arrogant.

Xia Houyan couldn't help frowning, and felt it with the longevity zhenqi, and found that the effect of Shenzhao Sutra fused with different kinds of zhenqi really existed. Although the life and death talisman she planted was still there, part of it had been eaten away. The old man left it on purpose in order to prevent her from discovering that the life and death talisman was useless.

"You have enmity with Mozong." Xia Houyan said.

She didn't directly raise the question of the life and death talisman.

In fact, it is also because with her power now, the life and death talisman is not very important anymore.

The old man Duan thought that Xia Houyan would ask him about the Shenzhao Sutra, but he didn't expect that the first question he asked was Mozong.

"What does Miss want to know?"

Xia Houyan knocked on the table with her fingertips: "Since there is hatred, then you must know Mozong better than ordinary people, I want to ask Mozong..."

Since the old man asked about the Demon Sect, Xia Houyan made some speculations.

Houhou should still be in the Mozong, and she is still an important figure in the Mozong, but it is impossible to completely control the Mozong.

After the old man left, only Xia Houyan was left in the secret room of Xiahou's house.

After a while, Xia Houyan raised her head to look at the painting again.

She got up and took off the painting, knocked three times on the wall behind and then put her hand on it to stir her true energy. Soon a small hidden compartment appeared. Xia Houyan opened the hidden compartment and took out a box from it. She opened it, and it was empty.

This is the second time she has opened this secret compartment.

She came here once in the evening when she came back from Swordsman, just to get the token of the assassination building that the old ancestor said.

But the location is right, but the things are not there.

Who took it away?

Where will such a large sum of money disappear from the accounts of Xiahou's family?

It was only now that I discovered that it must be my family who tampered with the accounts, and there are only a few people in the entire Xiahou family who can use so much money.

Why did he remove so much money?

There are very few places that can swallow this money silently throughout the Great Xia.

Xia Houyan felt that she had discovered something, and she had some guesses in her heart, and she couldn't help gushing some joy, but she was quickly restrained, it was just her own guess, and it might be false.

And if it is true, he will definitely have a bigger plan.

Xia Houyan put the box back into the hidden compartment, took off the hanging painting, hesitated for a moment, and planned to burn it.

Although the Tianmo policy and the formula of longevity are no longer on it, there are many doubts about the painting itself. The key is that it came from the hands of Houhou, so it would be better to destroy it.

She found the brazier and fire box by herself, and just as she was about to light it, a faint fragrance suddenly rushed into her nose, and then a gust of wind blew out the fire box.

Huozhezi generally gets brighter the more it is blown, blowing it out shows that this gust of breeze is unusual.

Xia Houyan wondered in her heart that she was not at all surprised by this person's visit.

It was probably the last time I found out that this secret room might have been opened, so I was already prepared.

It's really extraordinary light work, and... is this the legendary Heavenly Magic Force Field?

Really extraordinary.

But... Xia Houyan's expression remained calm, she put the painting aside, "Wu Wan?"

Suddenly a bright red came into her eyes, Xia Houyan just glanced at the place where this girl came out, secret way?She is really familiar with Xiahou's family.

This was the first time Xiahouyan saw this Houhou—one of the culprits she speculated had trapped their Xiahou family for a hundred years.

I have to say that the secret technique of the Heavenly Demon is very effective. Although she is a woman, although she knows that this person is definitely not a good person, and although she has the formula of longevity, when she sees Houhou, she feels pity in her heart.

Xia Houyan frowned slightly, and there was a faint smile on her lips.

"Heir of Xia Houwu?"

The cute girl in red tilted her head and asked, with an innocent look, making people think she was an elf who had strayed into the mortal world.
