Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 65

Although Youshi has been ill for many years and is sad every day, but when it comes to critical moments, he is exceptionally calm.

Her voice was slow: "The man blew on the torch, unfolded the roll, and compared it carefully. He compared the map, walked a few steps outside carefully, then walked out of the window, and closed the window screen. Poked a hole and peeped inside."

At that time, she was anxious and frightened, her normally weak hands and feet suddenly surged with strength, she grabbed a pair of scissors and held them tightly in her hand, and just waited for the person to come in, she poked at that person fiercely.

She held her breath and waited for the man, but the man seemed to be watching them, and did not move for a long time.

Her hand holding the scissors was sweating profusely.It didn't matter how long it took, the oil lamp in the room was ignored, and it gradually became dark, until the room was dark again, the man let out a low snort, and actually left.

When Youshi mentioned this, he still felt scared for a while.If that person is going to take her and Yang'er's lives... She is not afraid of death, but Yang'er is still young...

Youshi calmed down, looked at Song Jingxing, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned, and a warm current flowed through his heart.Nephew Song Xian is Yang'er's good brother. The two have known each other for so many years, and she can tell that Nephew Song Xian is an upright man.

She continued: "Good nephew, my aunt will not hide it from you. The Xiao family was ransacked back then, but there was not much money found. Everyone said that my father-in-law Xiao Li was a corrupt official, and the money must have been spent. The ingenious technique was hidden in the Xiao family mansion. My aunt guessed that the man who seriously injured Yang'er must have wanted to deceive my aunt and dig out the money hidden in the Xiao family mansion."

She looked at Song Jingxing, only to see that Song Jingxing's eyes were clear, and there was no trace of greed on his face.

Really a good boy.

You Shi looked away and landed on the wall of the house that has not been repaired for a long time, as if caught in a long memory: "Others say that I married Erlang of the Xiao family because of the powerful father-in-law and because of the powerful father-in-law of the Xiao family." Wealthy. But back then, Erlang of the Xiao family was handsome, kind-hearted, and brilliant in writing. I fell in love with him just by looking at him. When I married into the Xiao family, the Xiao family seemed to have a big family and a great business, but their food and clothing cost nothing. It's very economical. Or I couldn't help it, and took out my dowry to make up for it."

She suddenly sneered: "The Xiao family is so frugal, but they are said to be corrupt officials."

Song Jingxing didn't speak.

At this time, Youshi seemed to have returned to his youth, when he talked about his husband, his thin face suddenly shone with light.

If there was no love in his heart, if he married only for the riches and honor of the Xiao family, how could he have survived in the bitter cold for so many years, and how could he have dragged Xiao Yang into a life when almost all the Xiao family was dead? .

Song Jingxing's breathing was extremely light, for fear of disturbing the radiant woman in front of him.

You Shi said a lot of words, but he was exhausted and exhausted.She closed her eyes tiredly and let out a long breath.In front of her, she seemed to be standing with her husband, Xiao Jia Erlang.The corner of her mouth involuntarily showed a sweet smile.

Song Jingxing quietly exited the room.

The night was dark, and there was no star in the sky.

After working for half a day, he felt a little hungry.Just now the aunt next door said that she had made pancakes, so he lit the fire and walked into the kitchen to finish it.

Kanghuifang is not comparable to Suzaku Street, it has been quiet for a long time.

Especially the Xiao family's mansion, which is quiet and quiet, with only a dim oil lamp burning in the house.

A slightly short figure jumped down neatly from the wall, making only a very slight sound.After the thief jumped off the wall, he stuck to the wall tightly, listened for a long time, and found that there was no movement, and then walked out from the wall swaggeringly.

The thief walked out of Youshi's room without any scruples, but this time he pushed the door open and walked in without hesitation.

He found out clearly that the Xiao family at this time only had the sickly old woman and the unconscious Xiao Yang.The craftsman he was following had just left from Xiao's house.

Xiao's house is not a short distance away from the neighbor's house, and the courtyard is deep. If the old woman called out loudly, no one would come to rescue her.

He calculated well.

But just entering the room, a pair of big hands bound him tightly from behind.

The thief was shocked and tried to struggle, but he couldn't move at all.The man behind him was obviously much taller and stronger than him.

Still calm.

He turned his eyes and said tentatively: "This hero, if you let me go, I will definitely share half of the money I get from this family with you. It's not easy for a hero, this family is the family of the corrupt official Xiao Li. No money was confiscated when the house was ransacked, so Xiao Li must have made a perfect plan and hid the gold and silver treasures."

The big hands that were holding him loosened.

Oh, ignorant child.The thief quietly squeezed the poisonous needle in his hand, and was about to stab the person behind when he turned around.However, he suddenly felt a gust of wind hit him, he was kicked in the back, and suddenly lay forward, not only ate dog shit, but the poisonous needle in his hand flew out.

Someone stomped on the back of his hand, and said in a cold voice, "Who sent you here?"

Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth, and he couldn't confess the person behind it, otherwise he would die even worse.

The thief said with difficulty: "Yes... I came here by myself... It is said that the Xiao family, the descendants of the Xiao family have returned... The money must... be dug out..."

The man snorted coldly, and exerted more force on his feet: "Speak, tell the truth!"

He was a difficult master.

The thief still wanted to quibble, but the strength on his back suddenly increased.The man suddenly said quietly: "That one on the ground is a poisoned needle? If it is used on you, what will happen?"

Hearing the words, the thief trembled all over, and quickly shouted: "I say, I say! Good man, spare your life!"

Time flies.

Today is the last day of the three-day period, and more than half a day has passed.But there was no news at all, Zhao Jinyun was fidgeting, holding up the embroidery frame in his hand for a long time, but he didn't embroider half of the flowers.

The fourth younger sister, Zhao Jinyi, was not in a hurry. After lunch, she sat at the make-up table for Mei Ran to apply flowers.

At that time, appliques were popular, and the girls of the Zhao family were no exception.But the fourth younger sister seldom applied flowers and tins in the past, but today she was able to calm down and sat motionless for a quarter of an hour, letting Mei Ran toss about.

Zhao Jinyun simply put down the embroidered bandage, she really wanted to see Saburo Shi.

Maybe after today, she will no longer be free.Seeing each other before this is just a little warm thought in the long dark time in the future.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Jinyi got up slowly and asked her with a smile: "Third Sister, today's spring is just right, Ya Qing said that the flowers in the garden are blooming just right, and we just happened to go to the garden. Don't you want to dress up?"

How could Zhao Jinyun have the time to dress up, let alone go to the garden to enjoy the flowers: "Fourth sister..."

Zhao Jinyi smiled complacently: "Third sister, hurry up and dress up. If she gets married in the future, she will be able to visit the garden every day to enjoy the flowers, and she will not be in the mood of being a girl."

Zhao Jinyun was confused by the words.The fourth sister was right.but she……

A respectful voice sounded from outside the door: "Miss Si, there is news."

Zhao Jinyun jumped up suddenly: "Is it..."

Really unable to hold back, Zhao Jinyi helplessly pressed Zhao Jinyun down and signaled Yaqing to come in.

Yaqing came in with a tray on which was a residence newspaper.

Zhao Jinyun is a little confused, what is the relationship between Dibao and Shijia Saburo?

Mei Ran grew up with Zhao Jinyi since she was a child, and she can read a lot of words, so it is no problem to read the residence newspaper.

Meiran unfolded the mansion newspaper, and said softly, "On the fourth day of February in the [-]rd year of the Apocalypse, Zhong Xijiang, the Minister of Honglu Temple, was impeached by the censor Jiang Yueqing for collaborating with the enemy and treason. After investigation by Dali Temple, Zhong Xijiang was convicted of the crime. From now on, Zhong Xijiang will be removed from his official position. , Immediately put into prison, and asked to be executed after autumn."

Zhao Jinyun was a little dazed: "Zhong Xijiang? Who is Zhong Xijiang? What's the relationship with Saburo?"
