Chapter 243 Peacock Tribute
"Let's go inside and talk." Xing Wu looked at Si Jinbai with a very solemn expression.

Seeing his serious expression, Si Jinbai seemed to have something important to say, so he didn't refuse.

Holding the chicken and taking Xing Wu into the house, Zhao's Xiao He also followed.

After entering the room, Xing Wu's two companions closed the door, then Xing Wu spoke, pointing to the chicken in Si Jinbai's arms and said, "The one in your arms is not a chicken at all, but a peacock."

"What? Peacock? What is that?" Si Jinbai and the two women in the room were taken aback, looking at Xing Wu blankly.

When Xing Wu saw that the three of them looked like they didn't know anything, the doubts in his heart disappeared immediately.

Such a few people who don't even know what a peacock is should have nothing to do with the theft of tributes.

Xing Wu's tone became more relaxed, and he explained: "The one in your arms is called Peacock, and its feathers are extremely beautiful, especially the tail feathers, which are the favorite ornaments of nobles in the palace.

There are no peacocks in Dayong. A month ago, the Nanyue Kingdom paid tribute to the current emperor, but it was stolen near Jinzhou and has not been found yet.

If I'm not mistaken, that peacock is the one in your arms. "

"Ah?" The three of Si Jinbai cried out in unison.

When Xing Wu described the peacock, Si Jinbai and Zhao Shi knew that the peacock he was talking about was definitely not fooling them.

Because both of them had seen the peacock's long tail feathers before, and it was Si Jinbai who cut them off at that time.

Now hearing Xing Wu say that this is a tribute, Si Jinbo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

So the tail feathers he cut off for his aunt to put in vases were actually a tribute from the emperor Lao Tzu?
Zhao couldn't help but grabbed Si Jinbai's clothes tightly, and the husband and wife looked at each other nervously, seeing fear in each other's eyes.

Seeing that Si Jinbai and the two showed fear, Xing Wu didn't think much about it.

I just thought they were afraid of being implicated, so I asked them kindly: "Do you remember where you got this peacock?"

"We caught it in the mountains." Si Jinbai replied without thinking.

"In the mountains?" Xing Wu frowned when he heard this, as if he didn't believe it.

"Yes, there are a lot of wild animals in the sheep mountain behind us, and everyone usually goes there to hunt. I caught this peacock when I was catching pheasants."

Si Jinbai never mentioned Si Qing and Qiongqi, and only took the matter to himself.

Mrs. Zhao on the side also understood Si Jinbai's intentions, and quickly added: "Yes, if you don't believe me, you can go to our backyard and have a look. There are many pheasants in our chicken coop!"

"That's right, that's right, we thought this peacock was a different-looking pheasant, so we caught it back. Who knew it was... a tribute." Xiao He also hurriedly said.

Xing Wu saw that the words of the three people did not seem to be fake, so he thought about it and asked: "This peacock looked like this when you caught it, or did you cut its tail feathers later?"

When asked about Si Jinbai and Zhao Shi, their hearts tightened again.

They cut off the emperor's tribute, if they admit it, they might be arrested and beheaded.

If it's a lie, there are not many people who know about it anyway, at worst, just hide the tail feathers in my aunt's house.

Si Jinbai thought for a while, and was about to deny it, when suddenly there was a scream like a pig being killed outside.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of angry curses: "Where did you come from, little brat? See if I catch you, I will break your legs and sell you as a slave!"
