Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 402 Xiao Family

Shaw's Mansion

Fenglin Pavilion was originally the place where Empress Dowager Xiao received the Xiao family when she returned to her natal family to visit relatives.Since Empress Dowager Xiao passed away, this place has become a place where the core members of the Xiao family discussed what to do.

Since Yelunan's guards escorted the killers sent by the Xiao family into the city and read out their crimes, the core members of the Xiao family gathered from all directions in the Linhuang Mansion to the Fenglin Pavilion of the mansion. They never thought that things would be revealed. It was so fast that they were completely caught off guard.

These people began to denounce Yelu's family for tearing their face from the moment they entered the Fenglin Pavilion. They scolded for nearly half an hour before they remembered to deal with their own mess.As a result, the swearing and swearing was quite honest, and when it was time to discuss serious matters, they kept silent, and each of them lowered their heads, as if they didn't exist at all.Even if you come up with a few ideas, you can't satisfy everyone.

They knew very well in their hearts that although the guards did not name the mastermind behind the killer, the length of time they stayed in several important mansions of the Xiao family and the purposely raised voices were enough to prove that the people of the Yelu family had mastered the crime. With conclusive evidence, it can be determined that the chief ambassador is their Xiao family.However, due to the large number of foreign envoys gathered in Linhuang Mansion, the so-called family ugliness should not be publicized. In the final analysis, it is still an internal dispute in the Liao Kingdom, and outsiders should not be allowed to see the joke. It's just for saving face.

Xiao Fengqi, who is the most hopeful of the Xiao family, is naturally one of the important people called by the head of the family. However, after he entered Fenglin Pavilion, he found an inconspicuous corner to sit down, and did not say a word from the beginning to the end. It's as if you don't exist.Although he didn't participate in any topic discussions, he saw all the performances of his great-grandfather, grandfather, father, uncle and cousins.

"Xiaoqi!" Xiao Fengjia, Xiao Fengqi's fourth brother sat beside him, reaching out to poke the younger brother with a sneer on his mouth, "Don't put on such an expression, we are also a family after all. By the way, they made this decision Didn't I discuss it with you before?"

"Could it be that you told the fourth brother?" Xiao Fengqi asked back, seeing Xiao Fengjia shaking his head, he snorted coldly, "They deliberately wanted to hide it from us, and they wanted us to help clean up the mess, where is such a cheap thing in this world? Let's toss about it, I want to see what flowers can come out of it."

"You also don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement. If they want to die, do you just let them?" Xiao Fengjia didn't think much of this group of people, but they were all close relatives, and he couldn't really ignore it. He looked at his own Brother, "What are you angry about? There is no need for this!"

"Fourth brother, I'm not angry, I just don't think it's worth it. We helped once, and there will be a second time. Tell me, how many messes have we helped clean up over the years? We didn't make the trouble, but we took the blame , just because they are close relatives? We treat them as close relatives, what do they think of us?" Xiao Fengqi's sneer became more and more obvious, "If it wasn't for their stretching their hands too far, why did you and I end up where we are today?"

"That's true." Xiao Fengjia sighed, "The two courtyards guard us like thieves, and this group of people in the family think we can get away with it!"

"Let's not talk about whether or not you can get along, fourth brother, be optimistic about your subordinates. It doesn't matter how many people we fall into, even if I fall into it, but your people are definitely not good." Xiao Fengqi raised his chin, "You The people under your command are the foundation of our family, and they are the most feared by the Yelu family, if something goes wrong with your subordinates, it will be completely over."

"Understood." Xiao Fengjia nodded, "I'm not that heartless, do you know why my grandfather and uncle ignored me for half a month?"

"Did they ask you for someone?" Seeing Xiao Fengjia's slight nod, Xiao Fengqi's face instantly became ugly, "A bunch of idiots!" He snorted coldly, "I thought Yeluling was the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my life. Unexpectedly, the most stupid ones are in our house."

"When they borrowed people from me, they didn't say what they were going to do, but I felt that the people under my command were the lifeblood of our family, and they couldn't be handed over easily. If there was no return, I would have no place to cry. So , Without even thinking about it, I refused, they are so angry, they have seen me for half a month, as if they have not seen me." Xiao Fengjia shoved her hand stove into Xiao Fengqi's hand, "Fortunately, I didn't agree. They, who is General Zhen Guo, and who is the military adviser of their family, assassinate them... Aren't they rushing to seek death?"

"If they could have thought of this, they wouldn't be able to do such a stupid thing." Xiao Fengqi rolled his eyes, "Great-grandfather and grandfather followed them to make trouble together, I didn't expect it, I thought they would stop it!"

"Stop it? On the surface, it is to assassinate the mission, but in fact it is not to attack Yelu's family? Great-grandfather is good everywhere, except for one thing. He always thinks about the glory of the empress dowager when he was there, and what happened when he was always the empress dowager." Xiao Fengjia couldn't help rolling her eyes, "To put it bluntly, how long has it been since the Empress Dowager passed away, her eyes don't look forward, but always look behind... Our family will be in their hands, it will be better No wonder!"

"Fourth brother!" Xiao Fengqi patted Xiao Fengjia's arm, "This is not nonsense, let them know, and I will try to torment you again!"

"If they have that ability, just let them come here." Xiao Fengjia didn't care at all, "But you have to be careful, they don't know how to know about your relationship with Yeluling, and they want to pour this pot of dirty water on you!"

"Don't worry, fourth brother, we won't let them succeed."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Fengqi stood up and was about to walk towards the door, but was held back by Xiao Fengjia.

"What are you going to do?"

"It's too aggrieved in the room, so I'll go out to take a breath."

Originally, Xiao Fengqi's sitting position was not very attractive, and the people in the room were worried and worried, and no one thought of him. As soon as he stood up, everyone's eyes were all focused on him.

"Xiao Qi, why did you come here? The big guys have been discussing for a long time!"

"Grandfather, grandson has already come, but you didn't see it." Xiao Fengqi turned around and saluted his grandfather.

The current head of the Xiao family is Xiao Fengqi's grandfather Xiao Shengning. He was also a general who led the army and fought in the early years, but he has been away from the battlefield for many years now. Little is known about the situation.So, after such a big somersault this time, he lost all his face and face, which made him feel very uncomfortable.I thought that the grandson I valued would respond positively and give me a good plan to overcome this difficulty. Unexpectedly, not only did he not say a word, but he was also ready to let go.That's why he said on purpose why he was late.

"The elders are here to discuss important matters. You, a junior, don't listen carefully. What are you going to do?" Xiao Shengning's displeasure was clearly expressed, and he stared at his grandson, "After listening for a long time, you just Nothing to say?"

"Me?" Xiao Fengqi's attitude was very cold, "No."

"You have nothing to say about such a big incident? How should our family get through this difficulty?"

"Grandfather, what does it have to do with our family when they caught the assassin?" Xiao Fengqi had no expression on his face, and he also dragged Xiao Fengjia over, "Could it be that these assassins were sent by grandfather?"

"Bastard!" Xiao Pingyuan, Xiao Fengqi's uncle slapped the table hard, "Why are you talking to your grandfather?"

Without even looking at Xiao Pingyuan, Xiao Fengqi took Xiao Fengjia's arm and walked out.

"Stop!" Seeing his look of not paying attention to anyone, Xiao Shengning was so angry that he slapped the table fiercely, "Sinister! If it wasn't for you, how could the family be where it is today!"

"Grandfather is right, it's because of him!" Xiao Fengshi, the second cousin who has always been at odds with Xiao Fengqi, jumped out first, pointed at Xiao Fengqi and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that he made friends with that Yeluling and sent someone to assassinate the Qi family Boy, we would never think of assassinating the Xia Mission, the source of all this is with him. If the members of the Yelu family refuse to let go, we will hand you over. Don't think that grandfather and uncles value you, you Just think how important it is, the Xiao family has many promising children, one more than you is not too many, one less than you is a lot!"

"Promising son? The second cousin is talking about himself?" Xiao Fengqi and Xiao Fengjia stopped and looked at the people in this room. Their eyes swept over the great-grandfather, grandfather, uncle, and brother one by one, and the sarcasm on their faces became more and more serious. Deeper, I don't want to hide it at all.Xiao Fengjia stopped Xiao Fengqi, squinted his phoenix eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Second cousin thinks highly of me, I don't know where second cousin is?" He turned his head and said to Xiao Fengqi, "This Fenglin Without the majesty of the pavilion, any cat or dog can come in!"

"What the fourth brother said is true." Xiao Fengqi didn't wait for Xiao Fengshi to argue, and immediately followed Xiao Fengjia's words, "Just now the second cousin said that it was because I sent someone to assassinate Ah Feng, so you got the inspiration from this, and then you thought of assassinating him." From the mission. I have a question to ask my second cousin, do you have evidence to prove that I am the mastermind who assassinated Ah Feng?"

"me……"

Xiao Fengshi was speechless when asked, he heard what his father and elder brother said, so he decided that Qi Zhifeng's assassination had something to do with Xiao Fengqi.He looked at Xiao Pingyuan, hoping that his father would say a few words for him, but in the end, his father looked away and did not meet his gaze at all.

"Long time no see, Second Cousin can impress us. Even the king and the two courts have confirmed that the chief envoy is Major General Yelu, but Second Cousin wants to plant this crime on my head. Could it be that Cousin wants Overthrowing this verdict, are you planning to overturn Major General Yelu's case? It turns out that the friendship between the second cousin and the Major General has reached this point, it is really... enviable!"

"You spitting blood!" Xiao Fengshi was so blocked that he couldn't speak, his face flushed red, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, there is no such thing at all, I...I..."

"Xiaoqi, don't argue with your second cousin. Don't take it to heart because he always speaks unscrupulously." Xiao Zhi, the oldest elder in the Xiao family, Xiao Fengqi's great-grandfather, glared at Xiao Fengshi fiercely, then turned his head and shook his head. He put on a very kind look, "If you want to blame, just blame me. I didn't let them tell you and Xiaosi, so I did it on my own. This is also because I didn't think carefully and didn't think about this mission. You are so powerful, that's why the people of Yelu's family took advantage of it. Xiaoqi, you are always smart, what should we do about this?"

"I didn't expect the members of the mission to be so powerful?" Xiao Fengqi's eyes swept over the faces of the people in the room, and several of them lowered their heads unconsciously, "Grandpa, you and grandfather don't know the origin of the mission, so why don't you It's justifiable, but uncle, third uncle, ninth uncle, eldest cousin, third cousin, and eighth cousin should be very clear about the origin of this general of the town. When you were leading the army, you often followed her I have dealt with her, and I have suffered a lot from her. Don't you know what kind of person she is? Or, do you think that not enough people in our family have died in her hands, so you have to give up all the family assets? Is it appropriate to throw it in?"

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Pingyuan stood up and asked with a look of horror on his face, "The General Zhen Guo you mentioned, is... is... is it her?"

"Uncle, why can't you lead the army anymore?" Xiao Fengqi's gaze rested on Xiao Pingyuan's right arm, "Who seriously injured your right hand? Don't you remember, Uncle?"

"Wh...how...how could it be her?" Xiao Pingyuan began to tremble subconsciously, he looked at Xiao Fengshi who first came up with this idea, "you...you didn't say...I...I want to know It's her, she will never agree!"

"Father, who is it?" Xiao Fengshi looked at his father in a daze, and then at his elder brother, "Why do you all have such expressions? You are just a little general who is not well known, why do you..."

"Little general?" Xiao Pingyuan raised his hand, and slapped Xiao Fengshi hard, then felt perplexed, followed up and kicked him twice, "The general of the Shen family army became a little general in your mouth? You You are really promising! You bastard who has more than accomplished nothing than failed, you are trying to kill your father and your brother!" Taking a deep breath, he looked at Xiao Fengqi who had nothing to do with him and looked indifferent, "She is Great Xia special envoy?"

"Yes!" Xiao Fengqi nodded, "When they entered the city this morning, I took a look. The special envoy is Zhen Guo General Shen Cha, and her deputy is Military Adviser Jin Jing." Seeing the people who were named, his expression changed. Pale and pale, he sneered, "Okay, you don't need to look like this. Although they know that the killer came from Xiao's house, they won't punish him now. Be honest from now on, don't mess around, Just don't hand it over to others." After speaking, without looking back, he dragged Xiao Fengjia away from Fenglin Pavilion.

The brothers walked in the yard for a while, sighing at the same time.

"With such a group of idiots around..."

"My heart is so tired!"

　Happy New Year's Day everyone, good health, peace and joy!
