The road from Africa to Europe

Chapter 308 False Rumors
So Ling Xiao said in a mocking tone: "False rumors? Ha!"

God damn's false rumors, don't take it to heart if you refute the rumors, they are all false.

There was a little carelessness in the tone of the last word, and she glanced at the twelve mothers who were a little uneasy.

Slowly said: "Really?" There was a kind of distrust in these two words, which made her face flushed.

Although Ling Xiao hadn't entered the capital very much these years, he also knew that class contradictions were prominent in the current society.

When the first emperor was in power, he was more or less dignified. After his death and a new emperor was replaced, the whole regime became even more corrupt.

Because the new emperor was jointly promoted by some dignitaries, after he ascended the throne, he affirmed his heroes and demoted other officials.

Some people who had some character before didn't want to kneel and lick the new dignitaries, so they were directly cleaned and driven out of the capital.

Those upstarts felt that the whole family was about to ascend to heaven, many of them were stunned by the emperor's huge rewards, and many of them just floated up, feeling that they were awesome.

Of course, there are very few among the upstarts who know that it will not be very good after drifting away, but they can't stop everyone's desire to expand, claiming to be a master, and wanting new tricks.

The ordinary people left in the capital have seen all kinds of tricks of the rich and powerful. The so-called King Yong is one of them, isn't it just to show that he is taking an unusual path?

This one is just to show that he doesn't follow the usual path. The men he likes are mostly strong. Anyway, he has killed people before, but he was suppressed in the end, and rumors came out.

Twelve Niang's face turned pale after hearing Ling Xiao's words, because she knew in her heart that she could not act arbitrarily. She has her own child, and she wants to advance and retreat with the people in the Hou Mansion, so it is impossible to offend Ling Xiao. people who come out.

She absolutely can't save Saburo and Goro regardless of the safety of her own family. After the new emperor came to power, no matter whether it was her natal family or her husband's family, the influence suddenly decreased a lot, and even in many cases they could only endure it. Thinking that one day it will be better, and more people will form a group.

With scruples in her heart, she naturally couldn't give it a go. She couldn't do Ling Xiao's carelessness at all, and she could hear the disdain in her words. Twelve Niang looked at her, obviously there was nothing behind her now. The Tao family didn't have any support, but it made her calm down and became more free and easy.

Twelve Niang looked at her, she was still so calm, and felt a little wronged, she was really helpless, because she knew that she had no strength to resist, and there was no result after doing it, it would only make the whole family suffer After a lot of blows, I had to bow my knees.

She could hear the ridicule in Ling Xiao's words, and knew that the other party's rebuttal was justified. What she just said was true and not rumors. In addition, nobles fell in love with cannibalism, which led some people to sell some children to fatten them up. Eat it again.

People who know about this can't bear it, usually tacitly, pretending not to know about this kind of thing at all, in their view, as long as the child being eaten is not their own child, they will temporarily endure it.

Although she absolutely didn't dare to resist because of this, it didn't mean she would approve of cannibalism. Thinking about it made her feel disgusting, and she prayed in her heart that that person would die quickly.

Thinking of this, Shi Er Niang felt very uncomfortable, and because Ling Xiao's tone was full of disbelief, Shi Shi Niang was angry and anxious, and felt ashamed.

The Tao family girl in front of her was very calm, as if she didn't take everything about Twelve Niangs into her heart, and seemed to know all her thoughts.

She became a little annoyed and said, "Forget it, I'm just a troublesome person, why bother to ask for trouble, but make my cousin feel bad about me."

At this moment, Twelve Niang felt that she was not well, and there was a kind of sourness and a little bit of anger in her heart, why was it different?
After hearing this, Ling Xiao glanced at Shi Erniang, and then said slowly: "Before father and mother left, I once asked me to take good care of them both."

"If I didn't take good care of them, wouldn't it be shameless to see my parents when I meet underground in the future?" Ling Xiao continued.

Seeing that the other party's twelve mothers suddenly turned pale after hearing this, her body trembled, and she grabbed the things in front of her with her hands.

The veins on her wrist bulged, and her expression twisted, with a bit of indescribable shock.

She obviously resisted what Ling Xiao said just now, as if she heard something that could not be said.

Ling Xiao saw that there was no change on the surface, but he was still a little surprised.

Twelve Niangs, what happened?Why does it feel like she has a little bit of a guilty conscience.

Ling Xiao was even more curious, what was she doing?
It seems that I didn't say anything too much just now, right?

Why did this person become like this?
It was as if she had thought of something herself.

What made her so scared?

Ling Xiao was somewhat curious.

What happened to Twelve Niangs?

It's as if the whole spirit has lost a lot at once.

What secret does she have?Is it related to the original owner?

At this moment, Twelve Niang is trying hard to control her body.

But her body was still trembling, as if she had thought of something terrible.

At the same time, her face also turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Ling Xiao, who had been shutting her down all the time, showed a surprised expression, because the feeling was really strange.

Recalling the conversation between the two of them, Twelve Niangs didn't have any problems at first until just now.

Ordinarily, the current Saburo and Goro have nothing to do with Twelve Niangs, so she needn't be so afraid.

Even if something happened, she couldn't be involved. Could it be that she was thinking about the future?The scene was horrific and made her feel terrible?
There is a possibility that she felt unable to fight after discovering some problem, which caused Shi Erniang to look like she had a nervous breakdown.

Anyway, the Twelve Niang at this moment gave her a very weird feeling. Under Ling Xiao's gaze, she struggled to smile, and this smile was extremely erratic.

It actually made Ling Xiao feel weird, seeing that Twelve Niang's lips had turned a little pale at this moment, her hands were clasped, and her body was trembling extremely slightly.

Looking at Ling Xiao with a bit of despair and pleading, Twelve Niang shook her head, obviously not wanting others to know everything deep in her heart, she wanted to be quiet.

Ling Xiao didn't stay any longer, and said with a slight smile: "Then thank you for the hospitality, it's getting late, and I should say goodbye too, goodbye, Twelve Niangs."

After she finished speaking and took Ah Wu away, the twelve mothers behind did not stop her. Seeing that figure walk away, she could no longer hold on, and her whole body softened.

She felt that her head was hurting, she was still her, she was still so good, why was she not as good as her no matter how hard she tried?

Obviously, everyone agrees that she is a virtuous and generous woman, and a talented woman with real materials, which can be said to be the top-notch noble woman.

But when she saw her today, she found that she had also changed, and she hadn't even gotten worse, and she was even more eye-catching now.

Twelve Niangs found that she doesn't like to show off much now, and few people know that she is so awesome.

In addition, what Ling Xiao said just now made Shi Erniang feel uncomfortable, as if she was simply an untrustworthy person.

Twelve Niangs thought sadly: She didn't have the confidence to agree to all the requests because she knew it very well.

The cheating reality forced her to be an untrustworthy person, but she became glamorous without being burdened.

What's even worse is that Twelve Niangs can't say it yet, and what the other party said is wrong.

Because she knew in her heart how weak her words were just now.

But what the other party said was that Xiang cut his heart with a knife.

If possible, she would rather not provoke Ling Xiao by herself.

It's a pity that Twelve Niangs knew all this too late.

Let her not like her very much.

Why!Twelve Niangs were finally helped back.

After having to stay in bed, I took a good rest for a while.

As for Ling Xiao, he didn't care about Shi Erniang's attitude when he left.

She decided to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the capital to buy some useful things.

Just when she walked to the street after buying a lot of things, she heard someone say: "Mother Dou."

This sentence made Ling Xiao follow the sound all of a sudden, because she had been looking for someone all these years.

The person who bribed Aunt Fang and instigated the poisoning was Aunt Dou, and she had no clue.

In ancient society, it is impossible to find out a few women with the surname Dou just by creating some black technology computer.

However, women usually stay at home, which caused Ling Xiao to never find the mastermind who bought Nanny Fang.

The main reason is that Ling Xiao has never found that Nanny Dou. She is not familiar with the dignitaries in the capital, so she has never met Nanny Dou.

In addition, she was also afraid that someone would take the opportunity to get rid of Nanny Dou to prevent the whole thing from leaking out, so she didn't think about looking for Nanny Dou with great fanfare.

Unexpectedly, I was so lucky today, I ran into Nanny Dou when I went out for a walk, Ling Xiao pretended not to know anything and looked over, and saw a woman at a glance.

It was a woman who was very neat and tidy, and that face was exactly as described by Nanny Fang. Ling Xiao once asked Nanny Fang about Nanny Dou's physical characteristics, and even sketched it with charcoal pencils. way to draw it.

After the portrait was drawn, Mother Fang, mother and daughter recognized it as Mother Dou, and it was really very similar.After several years, I could see that Nanny Dou was a bit old, and there were people following her, and the two talked while walking, and Nanny Dou seemed to feel something and turned her head to look over.

Before that, Ling Xiao had already turned his head to look at the other side, looking at other things. Aunt Dou looked around and didn't find who was looking at her. normal operation.

Ling Xiao immediately decided to have people follow Aunt Dou first, otherwise he doesn't know if there will be a chance to meet again next time, first find Aunt Dou's lair and then talk about other things.

Originally, she planned to go to see how Shiba Niang was doing after she bought some things, but now it is more important to track Nanny Dou's whereabouts.

Because Ling Xiao's image is very recognizable, it is naturally impossible to run to track people, but let the old-looking coachman who followed her do it.

The coachman was left behind by the original owner's parents. Although he was a coachman in name, according to Ling Xiao's observation, it was just a title.

Those coachmen who followed their siblings were all skilled, with the nature of bodyguards, and they were part of the Tao family.

Later, when Ling Xiao trained those children, they followed suit, improved their skills a lot, and were very loyal to Ling Xiao.

They have seen Ling Xiao's powerful methods over the years, and after hearing the order, the old coachman slowly followed up with Aunt Dou and the others.

After watching their figures gradually disappear, Ling Xiao has already sent out another little puppet who is responsible for monitoring the positioning.

Then she couldn't stand waiting on the street, so she took Awu into a teahouse on the side of the road to rest.

The teahouse is not too big, it looks very well organized, and it feels elegant after sitting down.

It seems that someone with some ability opened it, and it feels good.

Ling Xiao knelt down and ordered some snacks, but she didn't order tea.

Because she is not very used to the so-called tea now.

As a person who has drunk green tea, black tea, and black tea.

It is somewhat incompetent to accept the current way of drinking tea.

Ling Xiao has long known that the way of drinking tea now is different from that of later generations.

The tea leaves are crushed to become tea powder, and then brewed to make tea soup.

In addition to tea powder, the problem is that various other things will appear in the tea soup, such as salt.

EMMMMM!Ling Xiao couldn't bear this way, it wasn't drinking tea at all, but eating tea.

There will be many beautiful patterns in the process of brewing, so many people like it very much and even compete in it, which is called fighting tea.

Ling Xiao traveled over and found that the original owner didn't like drinking tea very much. One of the important reasons was that she couldn't sleep at night after drinking tea.

This situation caused Ling Xiao to skip tea after he came here. Of course, he would taste it occasionally, but he still couldn't accept it. Milk tea would be fine.

Of course, Ling Xiao also knows that tea leaves are actually edible. In later generations, people still eat tea leaves, such as matcha cakes, and special banquets with tea leaves as ingredients, which prove that they are completely edible.

But she still can't accept drinking tea in this era, and each other's concepts are different. It is naturally impossible for Ling Xiao to force others to be like herself, she would rather drink plain water.Of course, she felt that she was fortunate enough to watch from the sidelines, that is, she was very lucky to open her eyes. This is a process in the tea culture.

After Ling Xiao sat down, there were two groups of people in the teahouse today who were fighting for tea. They were competing with each other with tea, and Ling Xiao didn't attract their attention at all when he came in.

In Ling Xiaole's leisure, he just sat in one place and waited, A Wu followed, only the doctor in the teahouse was a little surprised, and someone came in with a mask?

Fortunately, it can be seen that this guest is actually wearing a mask to cover his face, but the exposed part is very good, but I don't know more about it.

But it can be seen that this person is quite cultivated, but Dr. Cha still didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't even dare to look at it.

Ling Xiao ate slowly. As a person who has experienced many worlds, her manners are definitely not bad.

The whole person sitting there is like a landscape painting on the whole, and the whole person seems very leisurely.

He didn't notice Ling Xiao until after the tea fight was over, and he couldn't be sure of his identity for a while.

They were all wondering what this guy was here for?It is also impossible to go forward and ask who it is?
It is said that she was born in a lowly family, but her overall demeanor is very noble.

It is said that she is a female family member of a high-ranking family, and she only brought a maidservant with her.

But I don't know why they are afraid to speak loudly.

Perhaps it was because she sensed that the atmosphere around her was very elegant.

These people were reluctant to leave for a while, but they didn't dare to go forward to disturb them.

Ling Xiao was naturally aware of other people's peeping, but she didn't intend to pursue the situation.

At this time, the old coachman who was sent to follow Aunt Dou had already returned and talked to Ah Wu.

Ling Xiao asked Ah Wu to let the old driver go to eat first, and followed them to leave the teahouse with a relaxed expression.

The people in the teahouse waited for her to leave before making a sound, because they could tell that the woman should be a Taoist child.

Just don’t know it’s practicing at home?Are you still practicing Taoism?Someone was a little anxious when they saw Ling Xiao leaving, and wanted to go up and ask.

As a result, Ling Xiao glanced back, making the person who wanted to befriend afraid to go forward immediately. Ling Xiao didn't have a vicious exterior, but after meeting those calm eyes, the person didn't dare to move forward at all.

Because at that moment, he seemed to be facing a big worm, which made him fear from the bottom of his heart, and the others didn't keep up. They waited for them to walk away before they seemed to come alive. Following them, he found his impression of Ling Xiao The room became blurred, as if their memory had added a layer of frosted glass, without much emotion.
