Jiaohua

Chapter 181
Xia Zhaoyi put the basket in his hand on the stone table and sat down opposite him.

Guo Ting's gaze followed her all the time, his pupils not concealing his scrutiny.

"You don't need to be so guarded against me," Xia Zhaoyi said, "If I am really someone with malicious intentions, what do you think I can covet from you besides this life? And if I want you For this life, I will report you to the government."

"I don't understand." Guo Ting said.

Xia Zhaoyi looked at him: "I understand why you want to do this. After all, the word Zhulian is not a trifling matter. With your relationship with Brother Xia, you and your wife may not escape death."

As soon as the words fell, the plain clothes flicked in front of her eyes, and a big hand immediately grabbed her slender neck, and it could break her neck with just a little manipulation.

"Who are you?" Guo Ting glared at her coldly.

The little girl didn't dodge in the slightest, she didn't even blink her eyes, and let her neck be under his palm, without any sign of fear.

"I said, I know Brother Sun," Xia Zhaoyi said calmly, "I know a lot about the things between you, especially about the second brother Xia, I know more, let me tell you a few things ?"

Guo Ting's hand didn't leave, it was still under her neck, and even increased the strength in his hand.

"If you kill me like this, my elder brother won't give up," Xia Zhaoyi said again, "I came here to look for you, the nursing home saw it, and the husband who brought me saw it too. Once I disappear, you It will definitely attract suspicion. Don't forget, I came here with Mr. Zhan Chen's personal recommendation letter. If you pinch my neck with your palm, you will become the focus of everyone's attention, even if You can handle my dead body properly, but if you continue to peel it off, are you afraid that someone will find out your friendship with Second Brother Xia? At that time, will you be able to protect your own home?"

"Are you threatening me?" Guo Ting said angrily.

Xia Zhaoyi's face was calm, and he didn't make any waves because of his anger: "I didn't come here for anything else, so I came to ask you two questions. The first one is, what happened to Dingguo's mansion?" He was convicted by Emperor Xuanyan, and his entire family was copied and beheaded."

Guo Ting paused and looked at her suspiciously: "You don't know?"

"This matter has never been announced to the world." Xia Zhaoyi said.

She originally thought that Dingguo Duke's family was honorable, bloody and loyal, and famous, and they did countless things to benefit the country and the people. Moreover, Dingguo Duke and his son died fighting against the invasion of the northern border, and sacrificed their lives for the country. , so it is not easy to convict, even if convicted, it will be announced to the world.

But judging from what she saw and heard after she came to the capital, there was nothing at all, and the well-informed little beggar couldn't find out why, only that it was related to the Pan family in Ningzhou.

Xia Zhaoyi thought of plotting treason, but it was never that simple.

Who conspired against you, second brother?
The big joke of slipping the world!

A second brother who doesn't even want the glory and wealth of Dingguo's mansion, but only wants to go to the far reaches of the rivers and lakes, go boating and drink, and be a ranger, will plot rebellion?
The strength on the neck was slightly loosened, and Guo Ting withdrew his hand.

He looked at Xia Zhaoyi, the doubts in his eyes did not disappear, and he said coldly, "You want to ask this?"

"Yes." Xia Zhaoyi said.

She spent a lot of time, going back and forth, just to ask this.

This is more important than anything else, more important than her life.

"That's nothing to ask." Guo Ting looked at the firewood over there, and said lightly, "Dingguo's mansion rebelled, disrespected the noble concubine, formed a party for personal gain, colluded with foreign aggressors, and secretly stole the relief food. They have also donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to rebels in various places several times. They have committed great rebellion, and all the blame is self-inflicted. It is trivial to steal and kill all over the family. Therefore, if you are really someone from Big Brother Sun, you should listen less and ask less about these things, otherwise It doesn't do you any good."

"Disrespectful to the concubine?" Xia Zhaoyi looked at him, "Which concubine? How disrespectful?"

"Why do you need to study?" Guo Ting frowned and stared at her, "You are a little girl, what can you understand? Why ask these annoying things?"

"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "Then I will ask the second question, where is Brother Xia's body... buried?"

Guo Ting's hand on the stone table tightened slightly, and Xia Zhaoyi clearly saw the ruthless light and killing intent flashing across his eyes.

"Why do you ask this?" Guo Ting said coldly.

"Worship," Xia Zhaoyi said softly, "Yes, did you throw it somewhere?"

When she asked this question, her voice was a little choked up.

Just now, Guo Ting pinched his neck and never became dumb, but now he only feels chest tightness and suffocation.

When she first heard the news of her father and elder brother's death, she was alone in a daze on the vast snowy field, the thin air was uncomfortable, making it difficult for her to breathe.

She thought that such suffocation and colic would never happen again, but when she opened her eyes and returned to this world again, she was in pain every time.

When I first heard about the accident in the Dingguo Mansion, when I saw the plaques being replaced outside the Congyun Market, when I saw the desolation in front of the grave at night, when I revisited the former residence of the Dingguo Mansion, and now In the early morning of autumn, the wind is smooth.

She never knew what hatred felt like, but now, such hatred was about to swallow her alive.

Guo Ting sneered, and said: "The people who have been beheaded all over the house, do you expect someone to bury them?"

"Then, where did you throw it?"

"Xielai mountain in the west, the ancient forest on the outer slope, after so long, the bones are gone long ago, there are many wolves over there." Guo Ting said lightly.

Xia Zhaoyi clenched her fingertips tightly, deeply embedded in her palm, and asked calmly, "Then do you know where it is in the ancient forest? East, south, west, north?"

"How do I know this?" Guo Ting frowned.

"Did you... never go to worship?"

"Why?" Guo Ting pulled the corner of his lower lip with a smile, "Do you think it's necessary for me to go?"

"I know what kind of person you are, Mr. Guo Ting," Xia Zhaoyi took out a piece of paper from the bamboo basket, pushed it over, and said, "You are good at drawing, can you draw it for me?"

Guo Ting looked at the paper she handed over coldly, and then raised his eyes to look at her, he couldn't figure out this girl of unknown origin.

"I really know Big Brother Sun and Second Brother Xia," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Even if you don't believe it, it's just painting now, and this won't be used as an excuse. Even if I take this piece of paper to report you, You also have a lot of reasons to refuse, you don't need to be so defensive. And I let you paint, I want to pay homage to Brother Xia."

Guo Ting frowned: "I told you, the bones are definitely gone."

"I still want to go," Xia Zhaoyi said in a low voice, "I might as well take a look, I just want to go."

Guo Ting took a deep breath, pushed the paper away, and said, "You don't need to be so troublesome, it's easy to recognize over there, I'll just tell you."
