No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 352 Yang Xin Xiao Cheng (Second Update)
Looking for someone to take a bite?That's a really good idea.

Luo Junyao looked at Qin Yao'er speechlessly, and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qin Yao'er rolled her eyes all over the place, "This..." She didn't dare to ask unrelated passers-by to test the poison.In the past, she could secretly drug horse bandits outside the border or single enemy soldiers. If she drugged innocent people in Shangyong, she would be beaten to death by the regent.

Naturally, Luo Junyao didn't really expect her to answer, so he lowered his head and pondered as soon as he finished asking, "I don't know... Is death row okay?" Although it's a bit inhumane, but now... there is no better way, right?These days there are no conditions for formal clinical trials.

"Absolutely!" Qin Yao'er widened her eyes excitedly, she was so curious about these centipedes.On the one hand, she really couldn't see what kind of poison it was, but her experience and intuition told her that it was absolutely poisonous.

This means that there may be a poison that is truly impossible to detect.

There are many strange poisons in this world, but there are not many that are truly colorless and odorless, and there are even fewer that can make a master poison user like her unable to see it.

Luo Junyao thought for a while and said, "When Ah Yan comes back, may I ask for you?"

Qin Yao'er nodded again and again, "Princess, hurry up, er... Isn't Mr. Luo still anxious for the result?" Anyway, she didn't dare to ask the regent to make a request, because she was afraid that the regent thought she wanted to do something again bad thing.

Luo Junyao glanced at her and didn't expose her. If the elder brother wants to know what these things are for, he doesn't necessarily have to look them up himself, he can also find out from other channels.

That Xiao Hong didn't look like a tough guy.

On the other side of the Luo family, Luo Jinyan said that although the matter of bringing a person back from outside was a secret, he couldn't hide it from Luo Yun.

As soon as Luo Yun came back from the outside, he heard the steward report the news, and went directly to Luo Jinyan's study without even returning to his own yard.

"Father." Luo Jinyan was instructing Luo Yi and Luo Er, when he saw Luo Yun walking in, he stopped, and waved his hand to signal the two to go down first.

Luo Yun didn't stop him either, but just glanced at the two of them lightly, and waited until the two of them had gone out before asking: "I heard that you captured someone back?"

Luo Jinyan did not deny it, "Father, sit down and talk."

The two walked to the flower hall next to them and sat down, Luo Yun said: "Finally, what's going on?"

Luo Jinyan said: "The one I brought back is the third son of Yangxin's Xiao family, Xiao Hong."

"Huh?" Luo Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If I remember correctly, you just touched him on the street not long ago?"

"Yes." Luo Jinyan said frankly.

Luo Yun looked at Luo Jin and said, "You said you could handle that matter, but I didn't intervene. What's going on now? It's not over yet?"

Luo Jin said, "No."

Luo Yun looked at him calmly, as if he was saying, then tell me what's going on.

Luo Jinyan didn't hide anything, and told the whole story.

Luo Yun did not rush to speak after listening, but frowned and pondered.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Luo Yun say: "You said... You asked someone to find Xiao Hong, and accidentally discovered that he had contact with people from southern Xinjiang. Why did you want to find him? Did you want to tell me, because you have something to do with the boss of the Xiao family? How much friendship, help him find his brother?"

"..." Luo Jinyan was silent, his father seemed careless, but sometimes he was surprisingly perceptive.

Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and said, "It's because of my selfishness."

Luo Yun couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words, it was the first time he heard his son say that what he did was for his own selfishness.If Luo Jinxing said this, Luo Yun might still be anxious, but when Luo Jinyan said it, he was very calm.

Luo Jinyan looked up at his father and said, "Does father know that the Su family and the Xiao family are about to divorce?"

How could Luo Yun know this, but after he was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood what Luo Jinyan meant, and his expression could not help but look at his son slightly: "What does this... have to do with you?"

Luo Jinyan looked at his father helplessly, "Father, the Su and Xiao families are going to divorce, but Xiao Hong suddenly disappeared, that's all."

"It has nothing to do with you?" Luo Yun asked suspiciously.

It's not that he doesn't believe in his son's character, but that Luo Jinyan's doing these things is really suspicious.

"No." Luo Jin said, "I didn't have time."

"..." If there is enough time for feelings, are you really planning to destroy their relationship and marriage?General Luo couldn't help but have black lines on his face.

But the matter has come to this point, saying anything is nonsense.

Luo Yun was very interested in another matter, "Have you taken a fancy to the girl from Mrs. Su's family? I seem to have seen that girl before, she looks pretty good, and she has a good relationship with Yaoyao. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Talk to your mother? Your mother was still worried a few days ago, telling you that you are not in a hurry to see someone. If you don’t want to see her, if she is not good, let Jin Xing see it first.”

Luo Jinyan looked at his father silently, Luo Yun paused for a moment and didn't want to speak anymore.

Okay, the boss has always been thoughtful, but is it necessary to hide this kind of thing from his family?Would they still ruin the reputation of their future daughter-in-law?Let the family have a bottom line first, so it’s okay to talk about anything, right?

"What do you plan to do with that Xiao Hong?" Luo Yun didn't bother to meddle in his son's business, so he simply talked about the business.

Luo Jinyan said: "Xiao Da should come over later, I'll take care of it. If it happens, father will pretend he doesn't know anything."

"Okay! You can deal with it."

While the two were talking, a steward came to report outside the door, Master Xiao begged to see him.

Luo Yun was already gone by the time the steward brought Mr. Xiao into the study. The Mr. Xiao's name was Xiao Cheng, and he looked about 27 or [-] years old.

His appearance is three points similar to Xiao Hong, but compared to Xiao Hong, who looks like the son of the scholarly family, he looks taller and taller, and his figure is a bit more solid.He has the unique elegance and bookishness of a scholarly family, but because he has been an official for many years, he is a bit more dignified and generous than a famous son.

Walking outside, others would not think that he is a famous son, even if he is said to be a young patriarch of a family, some people will believe him.

"General Luo, don't come here unharmed, sorry to bother you." Xiao Cheng cupped his hands and said.

Luo Jinyan also stood up and returned the greeting, "Master Xiao is very polite, please sit down."

Only then did Xiao Cheng sit down, and waited until the servant served tea and stepped back. After the two of them had finished drinking tea, Xiao Cheng said: "My younger brother is stubborn and has caused trouble for General Luo. I don't know if I can take him with you today." leave?"

Luo Jinyan gently put the cup lid back on the teacup, and said slowly, "I'm afraid it won't work."

Xiao Cheng frowned slightly, "I don't know...what's wrong with my younger brother?" Xiao Cheng also knew in his heart that if Xiao Hong hadn't done something he shouldn't have done, Luo Jinyan would never have brought him back to the Luo family directly.

He had also heard about the conflict between Luo Jinyan and Xiao Hong before, but he didn't think Luo Jinyan would avenge himself because of it.

Luo Jinyan said: "Today when I went to the west of the city to look for Brother Ling, a man died, a man from southern Xinjiang."

Xiao Chengjian frowned slightly, looked at Luo Jinyan and said nothing.

Luo Jinyan said indifferently: "Lord Xiao must have some sources of information in the court. The regent has just ordered Lingchuanhou to take over as the Xuanfu envoy of Southern Xinjiang, and he will take up the post immediately. The one who made friends with your younger brother is Khenpo, the son of the leader of the Guhe tribe in Southern Xinjiang. , He also gave Lingdi some interesting gadgets, and the doctor is currently researching what they are. Moreover, this person has a lot of friendship with Xueya, so Luo has to be cautious."

Xiao Cheng's heart skipped a beat, of course he understood what Luo Jinyan meant.

If it wasn't for something in southern Xinjiang, why would the regent send Marquis Lingchuan to southern Xinjiang at this time?You know, Chinese New Year is coming soon.Under normal circumstances, if there is no urgency, officials will not be appointed at the end of the year.

Not to mention, this person might be involved with King Ning.

Xiao Cheng took a deep breath in his heart, the relationship between him and this younger brother is actually relatively ordinary.

After all, the age difference between the two is quite a few years, and Xiao Chen's studies are smoother than ordinary people's. When Xiao Hong was first enlightened, Xiao Chen was already preparing for the children's exam, and when Xiao Hong was in his early tenth year, he was already preparing for the general exam. .

After he was admitted to the imperial examination, he either stayed in the Imperial Academy or was released as an official, and he could not return to Yangxin once in a few years.Moreover, this younger brother has not been close to him since he was a child. If he hadn't received a letter from his parents this time, he wouldn't have known what Xiao Hong had done.

He thought that he was just going wild with his personal affairs, and that's all. Who would have thought that he could still provoke people from southern Xinjiang?For a family like their Xiao family, the most taboo thing is to have too close relationship with clan nobles and other races.

If Xiao Hong was in person at this time, Xiao Cheng might want to beat him up first before speaking.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Chen sighed lightly and said, "I wonder if I can see my younger brother?"

Luo Jinyan did not refuse, nodded slightly and said: "Of course, if the matter of the people in southern Xinjiang can be resolved, Brother Xiao can take Brother Ling away at any time."

Xiao Cheng naturally understood what he meant, he let out a sigh of relief and cupped his hands: "Thank you."

Luo Jinyan nodded, stood up and said, "Brother Xiao, please."

Xiao Cheng also got up, and the two left the study one after the other and headed towards the place where Xiao Hong was detained.
