[Rebirth] Immortal Smuggler
Work related
After dating for many years, Xiao Dinglou knew Lu Shechuan deeply enough, felt the repressed emotions in the other party, Xiao Dinglou's first reaction was, did Hanzhang do something to anger Lu Shechuan?
Compared with Lu Shechuan's appearance in his fifties, Xiao Dinglou was very old during this time, looking like an old man in his sixties.Lu Shechuan was taken aback. He hadn't seen him in just 20 years. He didn't know that Xiao Dinglou would be so old.Lu Shechuan's expression became complicated, the words he wanted to question were stuck in his throat, he sighed silently, and eased his tone, "I have something to ask you."
Seeing Xiao Dinglou and Lu Shechuan close the study door, Xiao Qi frowned slightly. Although he wanted to know what Lu Shechuan would say to Xiao Dinglou, he didn't have the guts to do it in front of tenth-level experts. little tricks.
In the study room, Lu Shechuan calmly told about the receipt of the jade slip, and he read out the short sentence on the jade slip one by one.
"Impossible!" Xiao Dinglou rudely interrupted Lu Shechuan, and looked at Lu Shechuan bitterly, "I regard Min Niang as my own daughter, do you think I will harm my daughter?"
What Lu Shechuan couldn't believe was not Xiao Dinglou but the rest of the Xiao family, "What about the others?"
Xiao Dinglou quickly realized something, "You suspect Hanzhang?"
Lu Shechuan didn't speak, but his gloomy expression seemed to prove Xiao Dinglou's words.
Xiao Dinglou shook his head, and argued, "You, Shichuan, are also aware of how Hanzhang treats Minniang. You..."
Lu Shechuan was willing to marry Lu Miniang to Xiao's family back then because Lu Miniang was raised by Xiao Hanzhang, and Xiao Hanzhang did not show any dislike for Lu Miniang.Apart from having no children, the two lived a pretty good life after marriage according to Lu Minniang.Lu Shechuan had always thought that Xiao Hanzhang liked Minniang, but it wasn't until Xiao Yi was born that Xiao Hanzhang reacted violently, and Lu Shechuan realized that Xiao Hanzhang was very concerned about Minniang's inferior immortality, but he never showed it and kept it in his heart That's all.The birth of Xiao Yi completely aroused Xiao Hanzhang's suppressed emotions, so much so that Xiao Hanzhang refused to take a look at Xiao Yi, completely ignoring his existence.
Back then when Lu Minniang passed away, Lu Shechuan didn't think much about it. Now that he thinks back on what happened back then, Lu Shechuan can't help but wonder if it was Xiao Hanzhang...
Lu Shechuan's silence made Xiao Dinglou unable to speak any more, even he couldn't help but began to doubt.The atmosphere in the room became stagnant in an instant, Xiao Dinglou's eyes showed pain, and he said weakly, "Shichuan, I will give you an explanation."
Up to now, Lu Shechuan had nothing to say to Xiao Dinglou, he sighed, turned and left Xiao's house.
The fact that Lu Shechuan came to find Xiao Dinglou was no secret to the Xiao family.Not long after Lu Shechuan left, Xiao Dinglou called Xiao Hanzhang to the study and closed the door for a long time.In the end, the scene of Xiao Hanzhang leaving the study angrily made the servants speculate even more.
Xiao Ke soon knew all this.He listened to the boy's report with satisfaction, gave some instructions in a low voice, and watched the boy retreat with a calculating smile on his face.He didn't expect to attract Lu Shechuan directly, it's better this way, even if his father wants to help Xiao Jin to excuse him, he won't be able to open his mouth when Lu Shechuan is under his pressure.However, his goal is Xiao Jin, and he doesn't want Lu Shechuan to treat his father as an object of suspicion.Instead of waiting for his grandfather to slowly investigate the events of the year and not knowing if he can find out, he might as well help his grandfather.The news has already reached Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui's ears, it depends on their reaction.
Unlike Yan Qingrui, who likes to buy off servants of the Xiao family, Xiao Ke has always believed in the fact that people are more valuable than many.He worked hard for many years to arrange one person beside Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui, but this one person is enough.Xiao Ke smiled slightly, hiding the pride in his eyes.
Almost at the same time, the news that Lu Shechuan came to Xiao's house also reached Yan Qingrui's ears.Just when Yan Qingrui was guessing Lu Shechuan's intentions, the maid who had been following Yan Qingrui quickly walked to her side from the outside, and whispered a few words.
"Really?" Yan Qingrui's expression was ugly.
The servant girl nodded and explained, "It's the news from the main courtyard. It is said that the Patriarch and Lu Shechuan had a big quarrel, and the entire main courtyard heard it."
A trace of guilt flashed in Yan Qingrui's eyes very quickly, and then waved the maid away in a flustered manner.She wasn't sure how true the little girl's words were.It's just that if what the little maid said is true, Lu Shechuan came here for Lu Miniang's death, but Lu Shechuan didn't doubt it at the time, and now it has been 20 years, how could he suddenly find out about this matter?
Yan Qingrui couldn't figure out what went wrong, she felt that what happened back then was hidden and she didn't leave any behind.It can be said that Lu Shechuan's identity as a tenth-rank master does not necessarily require any evidence, as long as she kills him, she did it. Can she still argue with a tenth-rank master?Once this matter is suspected on her, Xiao Jin will be really embarrassed, and Xiao Jin's position as heir will definitely be shaken.In the absence of Henry Zhang, wouldn't Xiao Ke be cheap in vain?She has lost Henry Zhang, and she can't let something happen to Xiao Jin anymore.
A thought flashed across Yan Qingrui's efforts to calm herself down, what would she do if the worst happened?Do you want to discuss it with Xiao Jin?As soon as this thought came to mind, Yan Qingrui quickly shook his head.The relationship between her and Xiao Jin has become more and more distant these years, and Xiao Jin respects Lu Minniang very much. If Xiao Jin knew that it was she who secretly persuaded Lu Minniang to go to the human world to see Xiao Yi, and it was she who led the inspection department to find out Knowing Lu Minniang's whereabouts, I am afraid that the relationship between their mother and son will really be wiped out.
Yan Qingrui was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Xiao Jin's arrival for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she saw Xiao Jin standing quietly in the room, looking at her with a complicated expression.
"Jin'er." Yan Qingrui calmed down and pretended to be indifferent, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jin closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I heard that Grandpa Lu came to his grandfather to ask about the circumstances of his mother's death."
"Jin'er!" Yan Qingrui subconsciously interrupted Xiao Jin's words, she didn't know if Xiao Jin knew something, what was the purpose of saying this?
Xiao Jin glanced at Yan Qingrui with dull eyes, lowered his head slightly to hide the expression on his face, "Madam, there is no need to worry, there is no trace of what happened back then, and everything has nothing to do with Madam."
Yan Qingrui looked at Xiao Jin suspiciously, "Jin'er, you..."
Xiao Jin avoided Yan Qingrui's gaze, and retreated silently without explaining.
The weather in the fairy world is always sunny and sunny, but standing under the sun, Xiao Jin felt an unstoppable chill rising from his heart.He couldn't help but think again 20 years ago, after he found out that his aunt's death was due to his biological mother's calculations, he had almost no hesitation, and instinctively followed the biological mother's movements to wipe out all possible traces.Just in case, even the few people from the Inspection Office who shot at that time, he found an opportunity to make them completely lost in the sea of hopelessness.
After confirming that there were no traces, he was completely relieved.But when he finished all this, he could no longer face his biological mother, so that his relationship with his biological mother became more and more distant.He knew that everything his biological mother did was for him, and he couldn't care less about her life or death, but every time he thought of his aunt, guilt and self-blame surrounded him.Everyone said that he respected his aunt, but only he knew that he was actually just making atonement.
108. Reverse...
The news of Lu Shechuan breaking into Xiao's house with anger quickly spread to all the big families after he left.Everyone speculated about what the Xiao family did to anger Lu Shechuan.
Xiao Dinglou ignored the rumors outside and secretly began to investigate the events of the year.But one is that time has passed, and the other is that Xiao Jin cleaned up everything, Xiao Dinglou didn't find any clues for a while.Xiao Hanzhang has been watching his father's behavior coldly since he had a big quarrel with Xiao Dinglou in the study.Seeing that his father had worked hard all night and found nothing, he felt even more impatient and broke into the study early in the morning.
"Father, Minniang's death was just an accident, and the Inspection Office can prove it. Didn't my father-in-law admit that it was an accident? Now that 20 years have passed, who knows if someone secretly instigated my father-in-law to turn over this matter?" thing?"
Xiao Dinglou didn't sleep all night, and his expression showed a trace of exhaustion.He handed the jade slips he had just received to Xiao Hanzhang, and motioned, "The inspectors who hunted Minniang back then lost in the sea of hopelessness within a year after her death. How do you explain it?"
Xiao Hanzhang read the content on the jade slip at a glance, and still argued strongly, "The position of the Inspection Office is full of risks, maybe it's just a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Xiao Dinglou sighed, "Hanzhang, you would rather believe in this kind of coincidence than someone plotted against Minniang, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Hanzhang's expression froze, slightly avoiding Xiao Dinglou's sight.
Xiao Dinglou looked at him bitterly, "The child Minniang gave birth to was in poor health, and there were only a few people who could get close to her. Hanzhang, tell me the truth, is it you?"
"Father!" Xiao Hanzhang was furious, this was the second time his father had expressed his meaning. "How come Minniang and I are husband and wife, does father think that I will harm Minniang?"
Xiao Hanzhang tried his best to calm himself down, but facing Xiao Dinglou's silent and clear gaze, he finally couldn't hold back and exploded.
"Yes, after that child was born, for a period of time I hoped that Minniang would die. I was worried that Minniang would still be a waste if she had another child. But it was just a thought after all..."
Xiao Hanzhang didn't say any more, no matter how much he was dissatisfied with Lu Miniang, after all, he watched Lu Miniang grow up and became a husband and wife for many years, how could he really have the heart to let Lu Miniang die.As soon as that thought appeared in his mind, he tried his best to suppress it, but he didn't expect that Lu Minniang was really dead.The moment he received the news of Lu Miniang's death, he looked at Lu Shechuan in grief, and emotionally felt that he should also be in grief, but besides the grief, he couldn't help feeling a secret lightness.
This kind of guilt-like ease has lingered in his heart all the time for the past 20 years, making him deliberately exclude Lu Minniang and Xiao Yi from his life.It seemed that as long as time passed, the existence of Lu Minniang and Xiao Yi would completely fade away in his life.He doesn't have a wife with a low fairy character, and he doesn't have a son who looks like a useless person. He is also the next patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Hanzhang, who was successful at a young age.
Xiao Hanzhang's expression hurt Xiao Dinglou's eyes, and now he doesn't know whether it was right or wrong to marry Lu Shechuan back then.He saw from Xiao Hanzhang's eyes that he had nothing to do with Lu Minniang's death. Xiao Dinglou took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for you, why are you so opposed to finding out the cause of Minniang's death?"
"I……"
"Hanzhang, you are still afraid, right? You are afraid..."
"Father!" Xiao Hanzhang interrupted Xiao Dinglou again, and said loudly, "It's absolutely impossible to be Jin'er. He was brought up by you. Doesn't father know Jin'er's temperament?"
Xiao Dinglou fell silent, he himself did not want to believe that Xiao Jin would do this.He shook his head and looked at the agitated Xiao Hanzhang, "I believe in Jin'er's character, but what about Qingrui?"
"Qingrui..."
Xiao Dinglou turned around and didn't look at Xiao Hanzhang again, as if he was talking to himself, "Although that child doesn't have a fairy spirit in his body, he can't inherit the Xiao family, but if Niang Min is here, you will still have a son in the future when you are young. If Niang Min is gone. According to the friendship between me and Shichuan, you will naturally not remarry, Jin'er is the oldest without any possible children, do you think she will be tempted?"
"Father, you are just guessing."
"Hanzhang!" Xiao Dinglou sighed deeply, "We can find everything we can think of, but you think Shibukawa will not find it? Do you think Shikawa will believe that the disappearance of the inspectors is just a coincidence like you ? Now that we have found out about this matter, we can still save a little bit of face, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Shikawa."
"But Jin'er?"
Xiao Hanzhang didn't dare to investigate, he naturally believed Xiao Jin in his heart, but he couldn't believe Yan Qingrui.What if Yan Qingrui did it, what would Xiao Jin do?Due to Lu Shechuan's fury, Xiao Jin could only be exiled by the Xiao family. What about the position of the Xiao family's heir?
Xiao Dinglou waved his hand weakly, "Isn't there still Xiao Ke?"
Up to now, Xiao Dinglou has made it clear that if Yan Qingrui really did it, even Xiao Jin would be given up, Xiao Hanzhang wanted to say something but he couldn't say anything.
The conversation between the father and son fell into the ears of Xiao Qi who was outside the door without saying a single word.Hearing Xiao Ke's name, Xiao Qi still lowered his head and didn't even lift his eyes. He just moved his hands slightly, and a jade slip flew out of his sleeve, heading straight for Xiao Ke's courtyard.Xiao Hanzhang still couldn't bear it, it's time for Xiao Ke to add more anger.Speaking of which, even he always thought that Lu Miniang's death was just an accident, but he didn't expect that there was something else hidden.Thinking about Xiao Ke who revealed this incident, he really underestimated Xiao Ke.
Almost instantly, Xiao Ke received the jade slip.After reading the content of the jade slip, Xiao Ke habitually crushed the jade slip.He has always known that there is someone from Yun Lan in the main courtyard, and he has been able to run the Xiao family so smoothly all these years because of this person.But he doesn't know who the other party is?He also finds it very strange that the other party can always know some unknown inside stories of the Xiao family.According to his thinking, this person must be hiding beside his grandfather, but with Xiao Qi beside his grandfather, who else can hide it from Xiao Qi's eyes?As for suspecting that Xiao Qi is this person, Xiao Ke never thought about this possibility.Xiao Qi grew up with his grandfather, and it is absolutely impossible to betray his grandfather.
Xiao Ke quickly shook his head to clear up the question, and refocused on what the jade slip said.It seemed that his grandfather was suspicious of Yan Qingrui, but he always felt that his dear elder brother was also involved.Xiao Ke smiled honestly, no matter whether Xiao Jin participated or not, his grandfather doubted Yan Qingrui for sure, as a good younger brother who admired his elder brother, how could he have the heart to hide this news from his elder brother?
In the study, Xiao Hanzhang was still trying to say something when he heard someone talking outside the door.
Xiao Hanzhang suppressed his emotions, "Who?"
Xiao Qi's respectful voice sounded, "Patriarch, it's the Eldest Young Master."
"Jin'er?"
Before Xiao Hanzhang called Xiao Jin in, Xiao Jin had already opened the door.He looked calm, as if he didn't see his grandfather and father's surprise at his behavior, and walked straight to Xiao Dinglou.
"My mother had an accident that year, and I brought it to the Inspection Office."
"What?" Xiao Hanzhang was shocked.
Xiao Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "Afterwards, I was also the one who managed to get those people from the Inspection Office to have an accident in the sea of hopelessness."
"Jin'er, do you know what you are talking about?" Xiao Hanzhang rushed in front of Xiao Jin with a stride, trying to shut Xiao Jin's mouth.
Xiao Jin nodded, "I know, I was fascinated by the position of the head of the family, thinking that if I got rid of my mother, no more sons would be born, and I would be a veritable heir. I am sorry for my grandfather's upbringing over the years, and I am sorry for my mother. "
After Xiao Jin said this, he lowered his head slightly and didn't look at Xiao Dinglou again.He knew that his grandfather might not believe his words, but this was the only way he could think of to protect his biological mother.If it wasn't for him, the biological mother wouldn't have attacked the aunt, so to speak, the culprit is still him.He has already felt sorry for his aunt, and cannot lose his biological mother again.He knew in his heart what consequences he would face if he stood up and took on this matter. Under the anger of a tenth-level master, his grandfather might not be able to protect him at all, but as long as his biological mother survived, it was enough.
Xiao Jin's resigned attitude made Xiao Dinglou speechless for a while.Compared to Xiao Dinglou's silence, Xiao Hanzhang reacted fiercely, "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense, is it your mother..."
"Father!" Xiao Jin interrupted him, "It has nothing to do with Mrs. Qingrui. It is already pitiful enough for Mrs. Qingrui to lose her third brother."
During the confrontation between Xiao Jin and Xiao Hanzhang, a burst of spatial fluctuation came, "Let me in." Yan Qingrui's voice sounded at the door.
Xiao Jin's expression changed suddenly, Xiao Dinglou took a deep look at Xiao Jin and said, "Ah Qi, let her in."
As Xiao Dinglou finished speaking, Yan Qingrui pushed the door pale and ran in. "Jin'er?"
Xiao Jin lowered his head deliberately not to look at Yan Qingrui, but said in a low voice, "Madam Qingrui."
Yan Qingrui looked Xiao Jin up and down worriedly, and quickly looked at Xiao Hanzhang, "Hanzhang, do you believe me?" Without waiting for Xiao Hanzhang to say anything, Yan Qingrui took a deep breath, turned to Xiao Ding corridor respectfully, "Qingrui knows that the Patriarch is investigating the matter of his wife's death that year. Qingrui deserves to die. She has been hiding things from the Patriarch and Hanzhang all these years."
"Ma'am!" "Say it!"
Two different voices sounded.The former is Xiao Jin, and the latter is Xiao Dinglou.
Yan Qingrui didn't look at Xiao Jin, and still had a respectful attitude, "Madam was indeed killed by someone when she had an accident, but the person who did it was bent on blaming Qingrui. Although Qingrui saw the other party's Intention, but suffering from lack of evidence, and not wanting to be framed for nothing, so he could only secretly take action to wipe out the matter, as if nothing had happened. These young Rui have always regretted it, deeply feel sorry for Madam, and wanted to confess to the Patriarch several times, But I don't know how to say it, and I'm even more afraid that the Patriarch will blame Qingrui for this crime. Qingrui doesn't know where the Eldest Young Master found out about this, but it was a misunderstanding that Qing Rui did it, and now the Eldest Young Master wants to save Qingrui Rui, to bear the crime that has never been done, Qingrui has no choice but to tell this matter, please the head of the family to look into it."
After Yan Qingrui finished speaking, Xiao Hanzhang immediately cooperated, "Who is the one who wants to blame you?"
Yan Qingrui didn't answer directly, but said in a low voice, "Madam's accident happened, Qingrui was framed, Eldest Young Master was dragged down by Qingrui, who benefits the most?"
"Ker?"
Xiao Hanzhang spoke subconsciously, and in an instant he had made a choice in his mind.Yan Qingrui's words may not be credible, but if he chooses between Xiao Jin and Xiao Ke, he must choose to protect Xiao Jin.Xiao Ke's simple and honest smile flashed in his mind, Xiao Hanzhang's impression of Xiao Ke was really vague.He looked at Xiao Dinglou cruelly, if the Xiao family must give Lu Shechuan an explanation, Xiao Ke's biological mother has passed away, and Xiao Ke's weight is enough.
The turning point in the house caught Xiao Qi at the door by surprise. He thought that the dust had settled, either Xiao Jin or Yan Qingrui took on the responsibility, but Yan Qingrui turned the tables.Now that Xiao Ke's biological mother is dead, if Xiao Hanzhang really pushes the matter to Xiao Ke and his biological mother, if the Yunlan background behind Xiao Ke is involved, then Xiao Ke is really full of mouths and can't tell.
Xiao Qi raised his eyes, and was about to inform Xiao Ke, another wave of space fluctuated, and Lu Shechuan's coercion instantly enveloped the entire Xiao family mansion.
109. Destruction...
The Jinwu Guard can also find out the news that the Xiao family can find out, even more than the Xiao family can find out.
Before dawn, the Jinwu Guard's information was sent to Chu Mo.From the disappearance of several inspectors chasing Lu Minniang 20 years ago into the sea of hopelessness, to the secret actions of the Xiao family when they had an accident, all the signs seem to prove that Lu Minniang's death had something hidden behind it.
Chu Mo silently handed these to Lu Shechuan. At this time, he was extremely glad that Xiao Yi was not in the fairy world, so he didn't need to face all of this directly.Perhaps it was because of a premonition before, after carefully reading the investigation results of the Jinwu Guard, Lu Shechuan was calm beyond Chu Mo's expectations.
"It must be time to find out these materials from the Dinglou. It's time to go to him and ask for an explanation."
Chu Mo understood what Lu Shechuan meant, and he said without any hesitation, "I'll go with grandpa."
The attitudes of the two were the same, they both wanted to resolve this matter before Xiao Yi came back.Chu Mo felt sorry for Xiao Yi, who didn't feel any affection in the Xiao family. If Xiao Hanzhang was involved in this matter, how would Xiao Yi face it?Lu Shechuan was also worried about the same thing. He could seek justice for his daughter if he stepped forward, and if Xiao Yi also stepped forward, one side was the biological mother and the other was the biological father, what should he do?Rather than embarrassing Xiao Yi when the time comes, it's better for them to resolve this matter early.Anyway, in Chu Mo's eyes, the Xiao family is also unclear about Yun Lan's remnants, so it's best to take the opportunity to end it together.
Regarding Chu Mo's proposal, Lu Shechuan nodded and did not refuse.
As the two rushed to the Xiao family in the Spirit Void Realm, the Jinwu Guards who had received the news in advance had already surrounded the entire Xiao family.Lu Shechuan glanced at the Jinwu Guards around with a complicated expression. He was the only one who knew that there was actually a remnant of Yunlan in the Xiao family.Thinking about the appearance of Xiao Dinglou he saw yesterday, Lu Shechuan sighed silently in his heart.
In the main courtyard of the Xiao family, everyone sensed Lu Shechuan's aura at the same time.
Xiao Dinglou waved his hand, let Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui back into the courtyard, looked at Xiao Hanzhang wearily, "Do you really believe Yan Qingrui's words?"
"I..." Xiao Hanzhang avoided Xiao Dinglou's sight, and seemed to be talking to himself and explaining, "It's not that I was cruel as a father, but Xiao Ke was cowardly and incompetent since he was a child. If the Xiao family was handed over to him, tens of thousands Wouldn't Nian's foundation be ruined once? Compared with him, Jin'er is much better in all aspects, and now..."
Xiao Hanzhang didn't go any further, Xiao Dinglou smiled wryly, "Do you think Shikawa can't find out what we can all find out?"
Xiao Hanzhang wanted to keep Xiao Jin wholeheartedly, and immediately argued strongly, "No matter how powerful the father-in-law is, he is still alone."
"Have you forgotten about Chu Mo? Even if there is no Chu Mo, as long as Shichuan speaks out, there will be someone who will find out the matter for him. Where do you want our Xiao family to lose face?"
"Father! What about Jin'er?"
Xiao Dinglou closed his eyes, "Tell Shichuan what we found out and what Yan Qingrui said, and everything will be judged by Shikawa himself."
"Father!" Xiao Hanzhang wanted to continue speaking without giving up, when Xiao Qi's voice sounded outside the door, "Patriarch, the Jinwu guards have surrounded our mansion."
"What? Jinwu Guard!" Xiao Hanzhang didn't care about talking about Xiao Jin anymore, he pushed the door open in shock and anger, "What does Chu Chenyuan mean?"
Xiao Qi hid behind Xiao Hanzhang, frowned slightly, regretting that he had just informed Xiao Ke to come over.He originally intended to worry that Xiao Dinglou would be persuaded by Xiao Hanzhang to really use Xiao Ke to top the vat, thinking that Xiao Ke was used to acting, and this time was the time to act on his own.It's just that he didn't expect that just as he was lucky enough to send out the jade slips before Lu Shechuan arrived, he received the news that the Jinwu guards surrounded the Xiao family's mansion.
Xiao Qi lowered his head, with an indistinct expression on his face, what does Jin Wuwei mean?Was it Chu Chenyuan who discovered Xiao Ke's identity and planned to take the opportunity to trouble the Xiao family?Or is all this just Chu Mo's private behavior, just to stand up for Xiao Yi?Xiao Qi couldn't figure out the current situation, so he could only remind himself to keep the same in response to all changes.
Following Xiao Hanzhang's words, Lu Shechuan brought Chu Mo in step by step from the outside.Xiao Hanzhang looked at Lu Shechuan with a guilty conscience and said, "Father-in-law." When he turned to Chu Mo, he snorted coldly, "Commander Chu, what do you mean?"
As for Xiao Hanzhang, Lu Shechuan had always suspected that his and Minniang's deaths could not be taken off the dry cleaning.Hearing Xiao Hanzhang's address as "father-in-law", Lu Shechuan felt a burst of fire in his heart, and the coercion on his body soared to the sky, pressing down on Xiao Hanzhang, forcing him to take a few steps back before he could stand still down.
"Pfft!" Xiao Hanzhang spat out a mouthful of blood, only feeling the qi and blood in his body tumbling, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Father!" "Hanzhang!"
Xiao Dinglou took a step forward, looked at Lu Shechuan with a complicated expression, "Shechuan, what do you mean?"
Lu Shechuan threw the Jinwu Guard's investigation results to Xiao Dinglou with a flick of his hand, "Look for yourself."
Compared with Xiao's investigation, Jin Wuwei's investigation is obviously much more detailed.Xiao Dinglou knew that Lu Shechuan must have suspected Xiao Hanzhang, so he explained in a low voice, "Listen to me, Shichuan, Hanzhang has nothing to do with Minniang's death, and someone else killed Minniang."
Lu Shechuan's expression clearly showed disbelief, Xiao Dinglou only felt that his heart was full of bitterness, and he explained again in a low voice.From the beginning of the Xiao family investigation to what Yan Qingrui said, Xiao Dinglou explained it in detail.He felt that these words were impartial, but to Lu Shechuan's ears, he only felt that Xiao Dinglou's words were to excuse Xiao Hanzhang and Xiao Jin, and he wanted to push everything to a dead woman.Scholarly arrangement
Lu Shechuan felt sad, and laughed softly, "Ding Lou, you and I have known each other for many years, do you think these words are credible? Could it be that you treat me like a three-year-old child and plan to fool me with an unremarkable bastard? "
"Shichuan..." Xiao Ding subconsciously wanted to explain, and Xiao Ke just happened to appear in the main courtyard at this time.
"Grandfather, father." Xiao Ke was obviously stunned by the people in the courtyard, and he quickly lowered his head with a look of shrinking. "Grandpa, I..."
Although Xiao Dinglou felt that Xiao Ke's appearance was too strange, this thought only flashed in his mind.Seeing Xiao Ke's cowardly face as if he didn't even dare to speak, Xiao Dinglou sighed in his heart.Although he likes Xiao Jin and often ignores Xiao Ke, but no matter how Xiao Ke is his grandson, he still can't do anything to push Lu Minniang's death on Xiao Ke regardless of Xiao Ke's life or death.
Xiao Dinglou tried his best to make his tone a little more amiable, "Kerr, grandpa has guests here, if you have anything to say later, go back first."
"Oh!" Xiao Ke nodded timidly, heaving a sigh of relief.As long as Xiao Dinglou didn't push him in front of Lu Shechuan now, it meant that Xiao Hanzhang's proposal was not agreed to by Xiao Dinglou, which made Xiao Ke's heart that was always on his mind finally relieved.
Seeing that Xiao Ke turned around and was about to leave, Chu Mo suddenly said, "Second Young Master Xiao, Mrs. Qingrui just identified you as having something to do with Mrs. Xiao's death, what do you say?"
"Grandfather?" Xiao Ke turned his head hastily, with an expression of disbelief.He looked at Yan Qingrui wryly, his eyes full of grievances.
"Commander Chu!" Xiao Dinglou glared at Chu Mo dissatisfied.
Chu Mo was completely unmoved by Xiao Dinglou's stare, and just looked at Xiao Ke playfully.Who Xiao Ke is, I am afraid no one present knows better than him.Xiao Dinglou investigated the cause of Lu Minniang's death with great fanfare, but he didn't believe that Xiao Ke didn't know.Since Xiao Ke knew what Xiao Dinglou was doing, and also knew that Lu Shechuan was here, why did he rush here to explain?It means that he already knew what Yan Qingrui said beforehand, and he was worried that Xiao Dinglou would really push the matter onto him, so he chose this opportunity to come here to clear his name.
Chu Mo didn't believe a word of Yan Qingrui's words.According to Xiao Ke's temperament, if Xiao Ke and his mother did what happened back then, he would have thought of a way to kill Xiao Yi when Xiao Yi first appeared in the fairy world, and he would never let Xiao Yi's business go to the present.Since it wasn't Xiao Ke, Xiao Dinglou's reaction was enough to rule out Xiao Hanzhang, so only Yan Qingrui was left.Not to mention what Yan Qingrui framed Xiao Ke for no reason, she just let Xiao Ke top the vat for her.
Chu Mo's gaze made Xiao Ke feel uneasy, and a trace of determination quickly flashed across his face.The next moment, Xiao Ke suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Dinglou, stammering, "Grandfather, grandfather, I am willing, willing, and willing to accept the soul search, to, to prove my innocence."
What is the consequence of the soul search, no one present did not understand.Xiao Ke's determination softened Xiao Dinglou's heart, he shook his head and said affirmatively, "Grandfather believes in you."
After Xiao Dinglou said this, it will not be easy to push Xiao Ke to top the tank.Yan Qingrui lowered her head to cover the flash of resentment in her eyes.Chu Mo glanced at Xiao Ke casually, and said casually, "Since the Second Young Master Xiao dares to accept the soul search in order to prove his innocence, would Mrs. Qingrui, who testified against the Second Young Master Xiao, dare to do the same?"
With one sentence from Chu Mo, all his attention was drawn to Yan Qingrui.Yan Qingrui felt resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face.She was sure that Chu Mo would not dare to really search for her soul, and imitated Xiao Ke without hesitation, turned to Xiao Dinglou and said firmly, "Patriarch, Qingrui is also willing to accept the soul search."
Xiao Dinglou looked at Chu Mo angrily, and Chu Mo said quickly before he could speak, "There is no need to search for souls. I have a real potion from the magic world here, which is not harmful to the body, but it can make people tell the truth." It’s just words. Compared to soul searching, I think Madam Qingrui’s drinking potion is obviously easier.”
As Chu Mo said, he took out a white jade bottle from the universe in his sleeve, and handed it to Yan Qingrui.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Yan Qingrui's eyes, unlike Sou Hun, she had never heard of the real potion.But it was precisely because she hadn't heard of it that she didn't dare to take the risk.Yan Qingrui's thoughts raced, Lu Shechuan saw something in this moment of hesitation, his expression changed drastically, and he slapped Yan Qingrui with his palm.Although he was angry, he hadn't lost his mind. This palm only used five points of force.
Seeing that Lu Shechuan's palm was about to slap Yan Qingrui's body, Xiao Jin subconsciously swung out his celestial weapon to block Yan Qingrui.
The five-point strength of a tenth-level master is not something Xiao Jin can resist.After a muffled snort, Xiao Jin stood there with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, looked at Lu Shechuan and said word by word, "I did it, I deliberately led the inspection office over, and I killed my wife."
"Jin'er!" Two exclamations sounded at the same time.
Lu Shechuan gave him a cold look, even an idiot can see what happened to Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui now.Since Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui are deeply in love with each other, he will help them to atone for his Min Niang.Lu Shechuan had a killing intent in his heart, Yan Qingrui didn't care about anything, quickly stood in front of Xiao Jin, and shouted at Lu Shechuan.
"It wasn't Jin'er, it was me. It was I who instigated Madam to go to the human world to look for that child. It was I who designed to lure the Inspection Office here. I was the one who killed Madam, and Jin'er had nothing to do with it."
Yan Qingrui was really scared.No matter how many schemes she has, it will only look more ridiculous in front of Lu Shechuan's strength.If she knew that Lu Shechuan would one day advance to the tenth step, she would never have dared to attack Lu Minniang.Lu Shechuan at the ninth level is nothing to the Xiao family, and Lu Shechuan at the tenth level is something the Xiao family should look up to.Now Yan Qingrui only hopes that Lu Shechuan can let Xiao Jin go after killing her, she only has Xiao Jin as a child.
The more Yan Qingrui and Xiao Jin are in love with each other, the more it hurts Lu Shechuan's eyes.They are mother and son, but what about his Min Niang?He deserved to be killed by them, and he deserved to be so silent that he couldn't even get his body back?The killing intent in Lu Shechuan's heart was no longer concealed, and he pointed at Yan Qingrui.
"Soul search!" Lu Shechuan said coldly.Yan Qingrui's expression twisted instantly, and he trembled under Lu Shechuan's hands in pain.
"Mother!" Xiao Jin struggled to step forward, but was stopped by Chu Mo's sword.
As Yan Qingrui's expression became more and more distorted, Lu Shechuan looked at her more and more coldly.A moment later, Lu Shechuan slapped Yan Qingrui's head without hesitation, and Yan Qingrui fell to the ground without life.
"Shichuan..." Xiao Dinglou hesitated.
Lu Shechuan turned a deaf ear to Xiao Dinglou's cry, his figure flashed, and then he pointed at Xiao Jin's forehead.
"Shechuan!" Xiao Dinglou was shocked, and grabbed Lu Shechuan's arm, no matter how damned Xiao Jin was, he couldn't just watch Xiao Jin die in front of him.
The two looked at each other, Xiao Dinglou's eyes were full of pleading.Lu Shechuan looked at Xiao Dinglou's aged expression, and Xiao Dinglou's high-spirited appearance in the past flashed in his mind, but he couldn't be cruel in the end.Seeing that Lu Shechuan withdrew his hand, before Xiao Dinglou could show his grateful expression, Lu Shechuan suddenly pointed at Xiao Jin's heart.Xiao Jin only felt a sharp pain, and the immortal energy in his body melted instantly, and he passed out immediately due to the pain.
"Jin'er!" Xiao Dinglou looked at Lu Shechuan in horror, and Lu Shechuan said calmly, "For the sake of calling Minniang a mother, I won't kill him, but just dissolve the immortality in his body. Xiao Yi has suffered all these years, and he wants to taste it all."
"You..." The change in front of him made Xiao Hanzhang's eyes reddened instantly, and he
Compared with Lu Shechuan's appearance in his fifties, Xiao Dinglou was very old during this time, looking like an old man in his sixties.Lu Shechuan was taken aback. He hadn't seen him in just 20 years. He didn't know that Xiao Dinglou would be so old.Lu Shechuan's expression became complicated, the words he wanted to question were stuck in his throat, he sighed silently, and eased his tone, "I have something to ask you."
Seeing Xiao Dinglou and Lu Shechuan close the study door, Xiao Qi frowned slightly. Although he wanted to know what Lu Shechuan would say to Xiao Dinglou, he didn't have the guts to do it in front of tenth-level experts. little tricks.
In the study room, Lu Shechuan calmly told about the receipt of the jade slip, and he read out the short sentence on the jade slip one by one.
"Impossible!" Xiao Dinglou rudely interrupted Lu Shechuan, and looked at Lu Shechuan bitterly, "I regard Min Niang as my own daughter, do you think I will harm my daughter?"
What Lu Shechuan couldn't believe was not Xiao Dinglou but the rest of the Xiao family, "What about the others?"
Xiao Dinglou quickly realized something, "You suspect Hanzhang?"
Lu Shechuan didn't speak, but his gloomy expression seemed to prove Xiao Dinglou's words.
Xiao Dinglou shook his head, and argued, "You, Shichuan, are also aware of how Hanzhang treats Minniang. You..."
Lu Shechuan was willing to marry Lu Miniang to Xiao's family back then because Lu Miniang was raised by Xiao Hanzhang, and Xiao Hanzhang did not show any dislike for Lu Miniang.Apart from having no children, the two lived a pretty good life after marriage according to Lu Minniang.Lu Shechuan had always thought that Xiao Hanzhang liked Minniang, but it wasn't until Xiao Yi was born that Xiao Hanzhang reacted violently, and Lu Shechuan realized that Xiao Hanzhang was very concerned about Minniang's inferior immortality, but he never showed it and kept it in his heart That's all.The birth of Xiao Yi completely aroused Xiao Hanzhang's suppressed emotions, so much so that Xiao Hanzhang refused to take a look at Xiao Yi, completely ignoring his existence.
Back then when Lu Minniang passed away, Lu Shechuan didn't think much about it. Now that he thinks back on what happened back then, Lu Shechuan can't help but wonder if it was Xiao Hanzhang...
Lu Shechuan's silence made Xiao Dinglou unable to speak any more, even he couldn't help but began to doubt.The atmosphere in the room became stagnant in an instant, Xiao Dinglou's eyes showed pain, and he said weakly, "Shichuan, I will give you an explanation."
Up to now, Lu Shechuan had nothing to say to Xiao Dinglou, he sighed, turned and left Xiao's house.
The fact that Lu Shechuan came to find Xiao Dinglou was no secret to the Xiao family.Not long after Lu Shechuan left, Xiao Dinglou called Xiao Hanzhang to the study and closed the door for a long time.In the end, the scene of Xiao Hanzhang leaving the study angrily made the servants speculate even more.
Xiao Ke soon knew all this.He listened to the boy's report with satisfaction, gave some instructions in a low voice, and watched the boy retreat with a calculating smile on his face.He didn't expect to attract Lu Shechuan directly, it's better this way, even if his father wants to help Xiao Jin to excuse him, he won't be able to open his mouth when Lu Shechuan is under his pressure.However, his goal is Xiao Jin, and he doesn't want Lu Shechuan to treat his father as an object of suspicion.Instead of waiting for his grandfather to slowly investigate the events of the year and not knowing if he can find out, he might as well help his grandfather.The news has already reached Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui's ears, it depends on their reaction.
Unlike Yan Qingrui, who likes to buy off servants of the Xiao family, Xiao Ke has always believed in the fact that people are more valuable than many.He worked hard for many years to arrange one person beside Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui, but this one person is enough.Xiao Ke smiled slightly, hiding the pride in his eyes.
Almost at the same time, the news that Lu Shechuan came to Xiao's house also reached Yan Qingrui's ears.Just when Yan Qingrui was guessing Lu Shechuan's intentions, the maid who had been following Yan Qingrui quickly walked to her side from the outside, and whispered a few words.
"Really?" Yan Qingrui's expression was ugly.
The servant girl nodded and explained, "It's the news from the main courtyard. It is said that the Patriarch and Lu Shechuan had a big quarrel, and the entire main courtyard heard it."
A trace of guilt flashed in Yan Qingrui's eyes very quickly, and then waved the maid away in a flustered manner.She wasn't sure how true the little girl's words were.It's just that if what the little maid said is true, Lu Shechuan came here for Lu Miniang's death, but Lu Shechuan didn't doubt it at the time, and now it has been 20 years, how could he suddenly find out about this matter?
Yan Qingrui couldn't figure out what went wrong, she felt that what happened back then was hidden and she didn't leave any behind.It can be said that Lu Shechuan's identity as a tenth-rank master does not necessarily require any evidence, as long as she kills him, she did it. Can she still argue with a tenth-rank master?Once this matter is suspected on her, Xiao Jin will be really embarrassed, and Xiao Jin's position as heir will definitely be shaken.In the absence of Henry Zhang, wouldn't Xiao Ke be cheap in vain?She has lost Henry Zhang, and she can't let something happen to Xiao Jin anymore.
A thought flashed across Yan Qingrui's efforts to calm herself down, what would she do if the worst happened?Do you want to discuss it with Xiao Jin?As soon as this thought came to mind, Yan Qingrui quickly shook his head.The relationship between her and Xiao Jin has become more and more distant these years, and Xiao Jin respects Lu Minniang very much. If Xiao Jin knew that it was she who secretly persuaded Lu Minniang to go to the human world to see Xiao Yi, and it was she who led the inspection department to find out Knowing Lu Minniang's whereabouts, I am afraid that the relationship between their mother and son will really be wiped out.
Yan Qingrui was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Xiao Jin's arrival for a while, but when she came back to her senses, she saw Xiao Jin standing quietly in the room, looking at her with a complicated expression.
"Jin'er." Yan Qingrui calmed down and pretended to be indifferent, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Jin closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I heard that Grandpa Lu came to his grandfather to ask about the circumstances of his mother's death."
"Jin'er!" Yan Qingrui subconsciously interrupted Xiao Jin's words, she didn't know if Xiao Jin knew something, what was the purpose of saying this?
Xiao Jin glanced at Yan Qingrui with dull eyes, lowered his head slightly to hide the expression on his face, "Madam, there is no need to worry, there is no trace of what happened back then, and everything has nothing to do with Madam."
Yan Qingrui looked at Xiao Jin suspiciously, "Jin'er, you..."
Xiao Jin avoided Yan Qingrui's gaze, and retreated silently without explaining.
The weather in the fairy world is always sunny and sunny, but standing under the sun, Xiao Jin felt an unstoppable chill rising from his heart.He couldn't help but think again 20 years ago, after he found out that his aunt's death was due to his biological mother's calculations, he had almost no hesitation, and instinctively followed the biological mother's movements to wipe out all possible traces.Just in case, even the few people from the Inspection Office who shot at that time, he found an opportunity to make them completely lost in the sea of hopelessness.
After confirming that there were no traces, he was completely relieved.But when he finished all this, he could no longer face his biological mother, so that his relationship with his biological mother became more and more distant.He knew that everything his biological mother did was for him, and he couldn't care less about her life or death, but every time he thought of his aunt, guilt and self-blame surrounded him.Everyone said that he respected his aunt, but only he knew that he was actually just making atonement.
108. Reverse...
The news of Lu Shechuan breaking into Xiao's house with anger quickly spread to all the big families after he left.Everyone speculated about what the Xiao family did to anger Lu Shechuan.
Xiao Dinglou ignored the rumors outside and secretly began to investigate the events of the year.But one is that time has passed, and the other is that Xiao Jin cleaned up everything, Xiao Dinglou didn't find any clues for a while.Xiao Hanzhang has been watching his father's behavior coldly since he had a big quarrel with Xiao Dinglou in the study.Seeing that his father had worked hard all night and found nothing, he felt even more impatient and broke into the study early in the morning.
"Father, Minniang's death was just an accident, and the Inspection Office can prove it. Didn't my father-in-law admit that it was an accident? Now that 20 years have passed, who knows if someone secretly instigated my father-in-law to turn over this matter?" thing?"
Xiao Dinglou didn't sleep all night, and his expression showed a trace of exhaustion.He handed the jade slips he had just received to Xiao Hanzhang, and motioned, "The inspectors who hunted Minniang back then lost in the sea of hopelessness within a year after her death. How do you explain it?"
Xiao Hanzhang read the content on the jade slip at a glance, and still argued strongly, "The position of the Inspection Office is full of risks, maybe it's just a coincidence."
"Coincidence?" Xiao Dinglou sighed, "Hanzhang, you would rather believe in this kind of coincidence than someone plotted against Minniang, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Hanzhang's expression froze, slightly avoiding Xiao Dinglou's sight.
Xiao Dinglou looked at him bitterly, "The child Minniang gave birth to was in poor health, and there were only a few people who could get close to her. Hanzhang, tell me the truth, is it you?"
"Father!" Xiao Hanzhang was furious, this was the second time his father had expressed his meaning. "How come Minniang and I are husband and wife, does father think that I will harm Minniang?"
Xiao Hanzhang tried his best to calm himself down, but facing Xiao Dinglou's silent and clear gaze, he finally couldn't hold back and exploded.
"Yes, after that child was born, for a period of time I hoped that Minniang would die. I was worried that Minniang would still be a waste if she had another child. But it was just a thought after all..."
Xiao Hanzhang didn't say any more, no matter how much he was dissatisfied with Lu Miniang, after all, he watched Lu Miniang grow up and became a husband and wife for many years, how could he really have the heart to let Lu Miniang die.As soon as that thought appeared in his mind, he tried his best to suppress it, but he didn't expect that Lu Minniang was really dead.The moment he received the news of Lu Miniang's death, he looked at Lu Shechuan in grief, and emotionally felt that he should also be in grief, but besides the grief, he couldn't help feeling a secret lightness.
This kind of guilt-like ease has lingered in his heart all the time for the past 20 years, making him deliberately exclude Lu Minniang and Xiao Yi from his life.It seemed that as long as time passed, the existence of Lu Minniang and Xiao Yi would completely fade away in his life.He doesn't have a wife with a low fairy character, and he doesn't have a son who looks like a useless person. He is also the next patriarch of the Xiao family, Xiao Hanzhang, who was successful at a young age.
Xiao Hanzhang's expression hurt Xiao Dinglou's eyes, and now he doesn't know whether it was right or wrong to marry Lu Shechuan back then.He saw from Xiao Hanzhang's eyes that he had nothing to do with Lu Minniang's death. Xiao Dinglou took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "If it wasn't for you, why are you so opposed to finding out the cause of Minniang's death?"
"I……"
"Hanzhang, you are still afraid, right? You are afraid..."
"Father!" Xiao Hanzhang interrupted Xiao Dinglou again, and said loudly, "It's absolutely impossible to be Jin'er. He was brought up by you. Doesn't father know Jin'er's temperament?"
Xiao Dinglou fell silent, he himself did not want to believe that Xiao Jin would do this.He shook his head and looked at the agitated Xiao Hanzhang, "I believe in Jin'er's character, but what about Qingrui?"
"Qingrui..."
Xiao Dinglou turned around and didn't look at Xiao Hanzhang again, as if he was talking to himself, "Although that child doesn't have a fairy spirit in his body, he can't inherit the Xiao family, but if Niang Min is here, you will still have a son in the future when you are young. If Niang Min is gone. According to the friendship between me and Shichuan, you will naturally not remarry, Jin'er is the oldest without any possible children, do you think she will be tempted?"
"Father, you are just guessing."
"Hanzhang!" Xiao Dinglou sighed deeply, "We can find everything we can think of, but you think Shibukawa will not find it? Do you think Shikawa will believe that the disappearance of the inspectors is just a coincidence like you ? Now that we have found out about this matter, we can still save a little bit of face, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Shikawa."
"But Jin'er?"
Xiao Hanzhang didn't dare to investigate, he naturally believed Xiao Jin in his heart, but he couldn't believe Yan Qingrui.What if Yan Qingrui did it, what would Xiao Jin do?Due to Lu Shechuan's fury, Xiao Jin could only be exiled by the Xiao family. What about the position of the Xiao family's heir?
Xiao Dinglou waved his hand weakly, "Isn't there still Xiao Ke?"
Up to now, Xiao Dinglou has made it clear that if Yan Qingrui really did it, even Xiao Jin would be given up, Xiao Hanzhang wanted to say something but he couldn't say anything.
The conversation between the father and son fell into the ears of Xiao Qi who was outside the door without saying a single word.Hearing Xiao Ke's name, Xiao Qi still lowered his head and didn't even lift his eyes. He just moved his hands slightly, and a jade slip flew out of his sleeve, heading straight for Xiao Ke's courtyard.Xiao Hanzhang still couldn't bear it, it's time for Xiao Ke to add more anger.Speaking of which, even he always thought that Lu Miniang's death was just an accident, but he didn't expect that there was something else hidden.Thinking about Xiao Ke who revealed this incident, he really underestimated Xiao Ke.
Almost instantly, Xiao Ke received the jade slip.After reading the content of the jade slip, Xiao Ke habitually crushed the jade slip.He has always known that there is someone from Yun Lan in the main courtyard, and he has been able to run the Xiao family so smoothly all these years because of this person.But he doesn't know who the other party is?He also finds it very strange that the other party can always know some unknown inside stories of the Xiao family.According to his thinking, this person must be hiding beside his grandfather, but with Xiao Qi beside his grandfather, who else can hide it from Xiao Qi's eyes?As for suspecting that Xiao Qi is this person, Xiao Ke never thought about this possibility.Xiao Qi grew up with his grandfather, and it is absolutely impossible to betray his grandfather.
Xiao Ke quickly shook his head to clear up the question, and refocused on what the jade slip said.It seemed that his grandfather was suspicious of Yan Qingrui, but he always felt that his dear elder brother was also involved.Xiao Ke smiled honestly, no matter whether Xiao Jin participated or not, his grandfather doubted Yan Qingrui for sure, as a good younger brother who admired his elder brother, how could he have the heart to hide this news from his elder brother?
In the study, Xiao Hanzhang was still trying to say something when he heard someone talking outside the door.
Xiao Hanzhang suppressed his emotions, "Who?"
Xiao Qi's respectful voice sounded, "Patriarch, it's the Eldest Young Master."
"Jin'er?"
Before Xiao Hanzhang called Xiao Jin in, Xiao Jin had already opened the door.He looked calm, as if he didn't see his grandfather and father's surprise at his behavior, and walked straight to Xiao Dinglou.
"My mother had an accident that year, and I brought it to the Inspection Office."
"What?" Xiao Hanzhang was shocked.
Xiao Jin's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "Afterwards, I was also the one who managed to get those people from the Inspection Office to have an accident in the sea of hopelessness."
"Jin'er, do you know what you are talking about?" Xiao Hanzhang rushed in front of Xiao Jin with a stride, trying to shut Xiao Jin's mouth.
Xiao Jin nodded, "I know, I was fascinated by the position of the head of the family, thinking that if I got rid of my mother, no more sons would be born, and I would be a veritable heir. I am sorry for my grandfather's upbringing over the years, and I am sorry for my mother. "
After Xiao Jin said this, he lowered his head slightly and didn't look at Xiao Dinglou again.He knew that his grandfather might not believe his words, but this was the only way he could think of to protect his biological mother.If it wasn't for him, the biological mother wouldn't have attacked the aunt, so to speak, the culprit is still him.He has already felt sorry for his aunt, and cannot lose his biological mother again.He knew in his heart what consequences he would face if he stood up and took on this matter. Under the anger of a tenth-level master, his grandfather might not be able to protect him at all, but as long as his biological mother survived, it was enough.
Xiao Jin's resigned attitude made Xiao Dinglou speechless for a while.Compared to Xiao Dinglou's silence, Xiao Hanzhang reacted fiercely, "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense, is it your mother..."
"Father!" Xiao Jin interrupted him, "It has nothing to do with Mrs. Qingrui. It is already pitiful enough for Mrs. Qingrui to lose her third brother."
During the confrontation between Xiao Jin and Xiao Hanzhang, a burst of spatial fluctuation came, "Let me in." Yan Qingrui's voice sounded at the door.
Xiao Jin's expression changed suddenly, Xiao Dinglou took a deep look at Xiao Jin and said, "Ah Qi, let her in."
As Xiao Dinglou finished speaking, Yan Qingrui pushed the door pale and ran in. "Jin'er?"
Xiao Jin lowered his head deliberately not to look at Yan Qingrui, but said in a low voice, "Madam Qingrui."
Yan Qingrui looked Xiao Jin up and down worriedly, and quickly looked at Xiao Hanzhang, "Hanzhang, do you believe me?" Without waiting for Xiao Hanzhang to say anything, Yan Qingrui took a deep breath, turned to Xiao Ding corridor respectfully, "Qingrui knows that the Patriarch is investigating the matter of his wife's death that year. Qingrui deserves to die. She has been hiding things from the Patriarch and Hanzhang all these years."
"Ma'am!" "Say it!"
Two different voices sounded.The former is Xiao Jin, and the latter is Xiao Dinglou.
Yan Qingrui didn't look at Xiao Jin, and still had a respectful attitude, "Madam was indeed killed by someone when she had an accident, but the person who did it was bent on blaming Qingrui. Although Qingrui saw the other party's Intention, but suffering from lack of evidence, and not wanting to be framed for nothing, so he could only secretly take action to wipe out the matter, as if nothing had happened. These young Rui have always regretted it, deeply feel sorry for Madam, and wanted to confess to the Patriarch several times, But I don't know how to say it, and I'm even more afraid that the Patriarch will blame Qingrui for this crime. Qingrui doesn't know where the Eldest Young Master found out about this, but it was a misunderstanding that Qing Rui did it, and now the Eldest Young Master wants to save Qingrui Rui, to bear the crime that has never been done, Qingrui has no choice but to tell this matter, please the head of the family to look into it."
After Yan Qingrui finished speaking, Xiao Hanzhang immediately cooperated, "Who is the one who wants to blame you?"
Yan Qingrui didn't answer directly, but said in a low voice, "Madam's accident happened, Qingrui was framed, Eldest Young Master was dragged down by Qingrui, who benefits the most?"
"Ker?"
Xiao Hanzhang spoke subconsciously, and in an instant he had made a choice in his mind.Yan Qingrui's words may not be credible, but if he chooses between Xiao Jin and Xiao Ke, he must choose to protect Xiao Jin.Xiao Ke's simple and honest smile flashed in his mind, Xiao Hanzhang's impression of Xiao Ke was really vague.He looked at Xiao Dinglou cruelly, if the Xiao family must give Lu Shechuan an explanation, Xiao Ke's biological mother has passed away, and Xiao Ke's weight is enough.
The turning point in the house caught Xiao Qi at the door by surprise. He thought that the dust had settled, either Xiao Jin or Yan Qingrui took on the responsibility, but Yan Qingrui turned the tables.Now that Xiao Ke's biological mother is dead, if Xiao Hanzhang really pushes the matter to Xiao Ke and his biological mother, if the Yunlan background behind Xiao Ke is involved, then Xiao Ke is really full of mouths and can't tell.
Xiao Qi raised his eyes, and was about to inform Xiao Ke, another wave of space fluctuated, and Lu Shechuan's coercion instantly enveloped the entire Xiao family mansion.
109. Destruction...
The Jinwu Guard can also find out the news that the Xiao family can find out, even more than the Xiao family can find out.
Before dawn, the Jinwu Guard's information was sent to Chu Mo.From the disappearance of several inspectors chasing Lu Minniang 20 years ago into the sea of hopelessness, to the secret actions of the Xiao family when they had an accident, all the signs seem to prove that Lu Minniang's death had something hidden behind it.
Chu Mo silently handed these to Lu Shechuan. At this time, he was extremely glad that Xiao Yi was not in the fairy world, so he didn't need to face all of this directly.Perhaps it was because of a premonition before, after carefully reading the investigation results of the Jinwu Guard, Lu Shechuan was calm beyond Chu Mo's expectations.
"It must be time to find out these materials from the Dinglou. It's time to go to him and ask for an explanation."
Chu Mo understood what Lu Shechuan meant, and he said without any hesitation, "I'll go with grandpa."
The attitudes of the two were the same, they both wanted to resolve this matter before Xiao Yi came back.Chu Mo felt sorry for Xiao Yi, who didn't feel any affection in the Xiao family. If Xiao Hanzhang was involved in this matter, how would Xiao Yi face it?Lu Shechuan was also worried about the same thing. He could seek justice for his daughter if he stepped forward, and if Xiao Yi also stepped forward, one side was the biological mother and the other was the biological father, what should he do?Rather than embarrassing Xiao Yi when the time comes, it's better for them to resolve this matter early.Anyway, in Chu Mo's eyes, the Xiao family is also unclear about Yun Lan's remnants, so it's best to take the opportunity to end it together.
Regarding Chu Mo's proposal, Lu Shechuan nodded and did not refuse.
As the two rushed to the Xiao family in the Spirit Void Realm, the Jinwu Guards who had received the news in advance had already surrounded the entire Xiao family.Lu Shechuan glanced at the Jinwu Guards around with a complicated expression. He was the only one who knew that there was actually a remnant of Yunlan in the Xiao family.Thinking about the appearance of Xiao Dinglou he saw yesterday, Lu Shechuan sighed silently in his heart.
In the main courtyard of the Xiao family, everyone sensed Lu Shechuan's aura at the same time.
Xiao Dinglou waved his hand, let Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui back into the courtyard, looked at Xiao Hanzhang wearily, "Do you really believe Yan Qingrui's words?"
"I..." Xiao Hanzhang avoided Xiao Dinglou's sight, and seemed to be talking to himself and explaining, "It's not that I was cruel as a father, but Xiao Ke was cowardly and incompetent since he was a child. If the Xiao family was handed over to him, tens of thousands Wouldn't Nian's foundation be ruined once? Compared with him, Jin'er is much better in all aspects, and now..."
Xiao Hanzhang didn't go any further, Xiao Dinglou smiled wryly, "Do you think Shikawa can't find out what we can all find out?"
Xiao Hanzhang wanted to keep Xiao Jin wholeheartedly, and immediately argued strongly, "No matter how powerful the father-in-law is, he is still alone."
"Have you forgotten about Chu Mo? Even if there is no Chu Mo, as long as Shichuan speaks out, there will be someone who will find out the matter for him. Where do you want our Xiao family to lose face?"
"Father! What about Jin'er?"
Xiao Dinglou closed his eyes, "Tell Shichuan what we found out and what Yan Qingrui said, and everything will be judged by Shikawa himself."
"Father!" Xiao Hanzhang wanted to continue speaking without giving up, when Xiao Qi's voice sounded outside the door, "Patriarch, the Jinwu guards have surrounded our mansion."
"What? Jinwu Guard!" Xiao Hanzhang didn't care about talking about Xiao Jin anymore, he pushed the door open in shock and anger, "What does Chu Chenyuan mean?"
Xiao Qi hid behind Xiao Hanzhang, frowned slightly, regretting that he had just informed Xiao Ke to come over.He originally intended to worry that Xiao Dinglou would be persuaded by Xiao Hanzhang to really use Xiao Ke to top the vat, thinking that Xiao Ke was used to acting, and this time was the time to act on his own.It's just that he didn't expect that just as he was lucky enough to send out the jade slips before Lu Shechuan arrived, he received the news that the Jinwu guards surrounded the Xiao family's mansion.
Xiao Qi lowered his head, with an indistinct expression on his face, what does Jin Wuwei mean?Was it Chu Chenyuan who discovered Xiao Ke's identity and planned to take the opportunity to trouble the Xiao family?Or is all this just Chu Mo's private behavior, just to stand up for Xiao Yi?Xiao Qi couldn't figure out the current situation, so he could only remind himself to keep the same in response to all changes.
Following Xiao Hanzhang's words, Lu Shechuan brought Chu Mo in step by step from the outside.Xiao Hanzhang looked at Lu Shechuan with a guilty conscience and said, "Father-in-law." When he turned to Chu Mo, he snorted coldly, "Commander Chu, what do you mean?"
As for Xiao Hanzhang, Lu Shechuan had always suspected that his and Minniang's deaths could not be taken off the dry cleaning.Hearing Xiao Hanzhang's address as "father-in-law", Lu Shechuan felt a burst of fire in his heart, and the coercion on his body soared to the sky, pressing down on Xiao Hanzhang, forcing him to take a few steps back before he could stand still down.
"Pfft!" Xiao Hanzhang spat out a mouthful of blood, only feeling the qi and blood in his body tumbling, making him feel unspeakably uncomfortable.
"Father!" "Hanzhang!"
Xiao Dinglou took a step forward, looked at Lu Shechuan with a complicated expression, "Shechuan, what do you mean?"
Lu Shechuan threw the Jinwu Guard's investigation results to Xiao Dinglou with a flick of his hand, "Look for yourself."
Compared with Xiao's investigation, Jin Wuwei's investigation is obviously much more detailed.Xiao Dinglou knew that Lu Shechuan must have suspected Xiao Hanzhang, so he explained in a low voice, "Listen to me, Shichuan, Hanzhang has nothing to do with Minniang's death, and someone else killed Minniang."
Lu Shechuan's expression clearly showed disbelief, Xiao Dinglou only felt that his heart was full of bitterness, and he explained again in a low voice.From the beginning of the Xiao family investigation to what Yan Qingrui said, Xiao Dinglou explained it in detail.He felt that these words were impartial, but to Lu Shechuan's ears, he only felt that Xiao Dinglou's words were to excuse Xiao Hanzhang and Xiao Jin, and he wanted to push everything to a dead woman.Scholarly arrangement
Lu Shechuan felt sad, and laughed softly, "Ding Lou, you and I have known each other for many years, do you think these words are credible? Could it be that you treat me like a three-year-old child and plan to fool me with an unremarkable bastard? "
"Shichuan..." Xiao Ding subconsciously wanted to explain, and Xiao Ke just happened to appear in the main courtyard at this time.
"Grandfather, father." Xiao Ke was obviously stunned by the people in the courtyard, and he quickly lowered his head with a look of shrinking. "Grandpa, I..."
Although Xiao Dinglou felt that Xiao Ke's appearance was too strange, this thought only flashed in his mind.Seeing Xiao Ke's cowardly face as if he didn't even dare to speak, Xiao Dinglou sighed in his heart.Although he likes Xiao Jin and often ignores Xiao Ke, but no matter how Xiao Ke is his grandson, he still can't do anything to push Lu Minniang's death on Xiao Ke regardless of Xiao Ke's life or death.
Xiao Dinglou tried his best to make his tone a little more amiable, "Kerr, grandpa has guests here, if you have anything to say later, go back first."
"Oh!" Xiao Ke nodded timidly, heaving a sigh of relief.As long as Xiao Dinglou didn't push him in front of Lu Shechuan now, it meant that Xiao Hanzhang's proposal was not agreed to by Xiao Dinglou, which made Xiao Ke's heart that was always on his mind finally relieved.
Seeing that Xiao Ke turned around and was about to leave, Chu Mo suddenly said, "Second Young Master Xiao, Mrs. Qingrui just identified you as having something to do with Mrs. Xiao's death, what do you say?"
"Grandfather?" Xiao Ke turned his head hastily, with an expression of disbelief.He looked at Yan Qingrui wryly, his eyes full of grievances.
"Commander Chu!" Xiao Dinglou glared at Chu Mo dissatisfied.
Chu Mo was completely unmoved by Xiao Dinglou's stare, and just looked at Xiao Ke playfully.Who Xiao Ke is, I am afraid no one present knows better than him.Xiao Dinglou investigated the cause of Lu Minniang's death with great fanfare, but he didn't believe that Xiao Ke didn't know.Since Xiao Ke knew what Xiao Dinglou was doing, and also knew that Lu Shechuan was here, why did he rush here to explain?It means that he already knew what Yan Qingrui said beforehand, and he was worried that Xiao Dinglou would really push the matter onto him, so he chose this opportunity to come here to clear his name.
Chu Mo didn't believe a word of Yan Qingrui's words.According to Xiao Ke's temperament, if Xiao Ke and his mother did what happened back then, he would have thought of a way to kill Xiao Yi when Xiao Yi first appeared in the fairy world, and he would never let Xiao Yi's business go to the present.Since it wasn't Xiao Ke, Xiao Dinglou's reaction was enough to rule out Xiao Hanzhang, so only Yan Qingrui was left.Not to mention what Yan Qingrui framed Xiao Ke for no reason, she just let Xiao Ke top the vat for her.
Chu Mo's gaze made Xiao Ke feel uneasy, and a trace of determination quickly flashed across his face.The next moment, Xiao Ke suddenly knelt in front of Xiao Dinglou, stammering, "Grandfather, grandfather, I am willing, willing, and willing to accept the soul search, to, to prove my innocence."
What is the consequence of the soul search, no one present did not understand.Xiao Ke's determination softened Xiao Dinglou's heart, he shook his head and said affirmatively, "Grandfather believes in you."
After Xiao Dinglou said this, it will not be easy to push Xiao Ke to top the tank.Yan Qingrui lowered her head to cover the flash of resentment in her eyes.Chu Mo glanced at Xiao Ke casually, and said casually, "Since the Second Young Master Xiao dares to accept the soul search in order to prove his innocence, would Mrs. Qingrui, who testified against the Second Young Master Xiao, dare to do the same?"
With one sentence from Chu Mo, all his attention was drawn to Yan Qingrui.Yan Qingrui felt resentful in his heart, but he didn't dare to show any expression on his face.She was sure that Chu Mo would not dare to really search for her soul, and imitated Xiao Ke without hesitation, turned to Xiao Dinglou and said firmly, "Patriarch, Qingrui is also willing to accept the soul search."
Xiao Dinglou looked at Chu Mo angrily, and Chu Mo said quickly before he could speak, "There is no need to search for souls. I have a real potion from the magic world here, which is not harmful to the body, but it can make people tell the truth." It’s just words. Compared to soul searching, I think Madam Qingrui’s drinking potion is obviously easier.”
As Chu Mo said, he took out a white jade bottle from the universe in his sleeve, and handed it to Yan Qingrui.
A trace of hesitation flashed in Yan Qingrui's eyes, unlike Sou Hun, she had never heard of the real potion.But it was precisely because she hadn't heard of it that she didn't dare to take the risk.Yan Qingrui's thoughts raced, Lu Shechuan saw something in this moment of hesitation, his expression changed drastically, and he slapped Yan Qingrui with his palm.Although he was angry, he hadn't lost his mind. This palm only used five points of force.
Seeing that Lu Shechuan's palm was about to slap Yan Qingrui's body, Xiao Jin subconsciously swung out his celestial weapon to block Yan Qingrui.
The five-point strength of a tenth-level master is not something Xiao Jin can resist.After a muffled snort, Xiao Jin stood there with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, looked at Lu Shechuan and said word by word, "I did it, I deliberately led the inspection office over, and I killed my wife."
"Jin'er!" Two exclamations sounded at the same time.
Lu Shechuan gave him a cold look, even an idiot can see what happened to Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui now.Since Xiao Jin and Yan Qingrui are deeply in love with each other, he will help them to atone for his Min Niang.Lu Shechuan had a killing intent in his heart, Yan Qingrui didn't care about anything, quickly stood in front of Xiao Jin, and shouted at Lu Shechuan.
"It wasn't Jin'er, it was me. It was I who instigated Madam to go to the human world to look for that child. It was I who designed to lure the Inspection Office here. I was the one who killed Madam, and Jin'er had nothing to do with it."
Yan Qingrui was really scared.No matter how many schemes she has, it will only look more ridiculous in front of Lu Shechuan's strength.If she knew that Lu Shechuan would one day advance to the tenth step, she would never have dared to attack Lu Minniang.Lu Shechuan at the ninth level is nothing to the Xiao family, and Lu Shechuan at the tenth level is something the Xiao family should look up to.Now Yan Qingrui only hopes that Lu Shechuan can let Xiao Jin go after killing her, she only has Xiao Jin as a child.
The more Yan Qingrui and Xiao Jin are in love with each other, the more it hurts Lu Shechuan's eyes.They are mother and son, but what about his Min Niang?He deserved to be killed by them, and he deserved to be so silent that he couldn't even get his body back?The killing intent in Lu Shechuan's heart was no longer concealed, and he pointed at Yan Qingrui.
"Soul search!" Lu Shechuan said coldly.Yan Qingrui's expression twisted instantly, and he trembled under Lu Shechuan's hands in pain.
"Mother!" Xiao Jin struggled to step forward, but was stopped by Chu Mo's sword.
As Yan Qingrui's expression became more and more distorted, Lu Shechuan looked at her more and more coldly.A moment later, Lu Shechuan slapped Yan Qingrui's head without hesitation, and Yan Qingrui fell to the ground without life.
"Shichuan..." Xiao Dinglou hesitated.
Lu Shechuan turned a deaf ear to Xiao Dinglou's cry, his figure flashed, and then he pointed at Xiao Jin's forehead.
"Shechuan!" Xiao Dinglou was shocked, and grabbed Lu Shechuan's arm, no matter how damned Xiao Jin was, he couldn't just watch Xiao Jin die in front of him.
The two looked at each other, Xiao Dinglou's eyes were full of pleading.Lu Shechuan looked at Xiao Dinglou's aged expression, and Xiao Dinglou's high-spirited appearance in the past flashed in his mind, but he couldn't be cruel in the end.Seeing that Lu Shechuan withdrew his hand, before Xiao Dinglou could show his grateful expression, Lu Shechuan suddenly pointed at Xiao Jin's heart.Xiao Jin only felt a sharp pain, and the immortal energy in his body melted instantly, and he passed out immediately due to the pain.
"Jin'er!" Xiao Dinglou looked at Lu Shechuan in horror, and Lu Shechuan said calmly, "For the sake of calling Minniang a mother, I won't kill him, but just dissolve the immortality in his body. Xiao Yi has suffered all these years, and he wants to taste it all."
"You..." The change in front of him made Xiao Hanzhang's eyes reddened instantly, and he
