In the old house of the Xiao family.

Mrs. Yang was tidying up her clothes back and forth in the house, shedding tears while tidying up. The third daughter-in-law gave birth to a child on Qianjiao Island. Although the mother and child were safe, the birth was outside after all. In my heart, it is only natural for a mother-in-law to wait on her daughter-in-law to give birth to the confinement. Since the mother-in-law is not around when the daughter-in-law gives birth, she must serve the confinement.

Xiao Jingzhi was sharpening his knife in the yard to kill chickens. He was originally a scholar, so he didn't kill much. In the past, these things were all about Xiao Chenghai and Xiao Chengyu's affairs, but now, both of them are gone. It's not easy to bother others with such trivial matters. Had to reluctantly go into battle in person.

He sharpened the knife, took a deep breath, and walked towards the chicken coop. These chickens were originally raised for the confinement of the third daughter-in-law. Yang was going to Qianjiao Island to serve the confinement, so naturally he had to kill two of them first. bring.

But he soon discovered that killing chickens was definitely more difficult for him than getting a job, because he couldn't catch those chickens at all.

In the house, Mrs. Yang heard the commotion in the chicken coop, and came out suspiciously. When she saw it, she almost lost her breath. She saw Xiao Jingzhi running after the chicken with a knife, and he was still chanting: chicken, chicken, don’t you Blame me, you were originally a dish in the world, but now your deadline has expired, and you will be in bliss in the future.

"Oh, how can you kill chickens like this, really!" Yang couldn't laugh or cry, grabbed a handful of sorghum from the cloth bag, and sprinkled it on the ground, and the chickens rushed over and scrambled to eat. Just, hand it in front of him.Said, "That's it!"

Xiao Jingzhi chuckled, took it over, and said, "Help me catch its feet quickly."

"Oh, I can't see blood, you should do it! This is a man's business!" Yang shook her head and hid in the house. She lay on the window and said again. "Just kill two of them, and tie up the rest. When you get there, raise them first, and kill them while you eat."

"Got it!" Xiao Jingzhi held a gleaming kitchen knife.Standing there, he couldn't laugh or cry, he was tired enough to kill two chickens, but if he had to kill all the chickens in the chicken coop, he would have to kill until dark!

He looked at the chicken in his hand, with colorful feathers.The crown is red, and she is looking at herself pitifully.His heart softened, his hand loosened, and he almost let it go, but after thinking about it, he turned his heart, closed his eyes, and picked up the knife.Wipe the chicken's neck, and then let go quickly.

alright!Finally killed one!He was relieved.When I opened my eyes, I was startled, and saw a little blood on the ground, but the chicken had disappeared....

At this time, a carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of Xiaojia Hutong.

Immediately, someone looked this way with his head poking his head, there must be something wrong with the Xiao family!

Master Yao came out of the car slowly, and the guards sitting outside the car hurriedly jumped out of the car and carefully helped him down. Master Yao stood on the ground, not in a hurry to leave, but slowly looked around , there are earth-walled houses all around, and some walls are covered with grass. The wind in February is still howling, and the withered yellow grass on the wall is gently swaying in the wind.

Several dogs were playing and chasing in the grass by the roadside, and an old hen swaggered past them with a group of chicks clucking.

A salty and faint breath hit the face unscrupulously with a fishy smell.

It turned out that Lord Xiao grew up in such an environment!

Master Yao walked towards the alley with his hands behind his back, and the guard knocked on the door.

"Come in!" Xiao Jingzhi replied while looking around for chickens. He thought it was someone from the village who came to visit.

"Excuse me, does Mr. Xiao Chengyu live here?" Seeing the man walking around with a knife in the courtyard, the guard couldn't help becoming vigilant.

"Exactly!" Hearing this, Xiao Jingzhi raised his head and saw that the two strangers saw that he was holding a knife in his hand again. He suddenly felt impolite, put down the knife quickly, walked to the sink to wash his hands, took a cloth towel and wiped it off. hands, straightened his clothes, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Please come to the room, two distinguished guests."

Mrs. Yang listened in the room, and hurriedly took the clothes to the back room.

"Thank you, Mr. Xiao is not at home?" Master Yao looked around the yard and smiled slightly. He actually knew that Xiao Chengyu had gone to Qianjiao Island.

"No, he has something to go out!" Xiao Jingzhi responded.

While the two were talking, suddenly a heavy object suddenly hit them from the haystack on one side. The guard protected Master Yao, flew out a dagger from his sleeve, raised the knife in his hand, and the heavy object fell instantly.

Xiao Jingzhi saw that it was the chicken he hadn't killed just now, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I tried to kill the chicken just now, I don't want to, it's rude to disturb the guests."

The corner of the guard's mouth moved, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay." Master Yao looked at the chicken on the ground, and smiled faintly, "I just came here presumptuously, I hope Mr. Xiao will forgive me!"

"Please, both of you!" Xiao Jingzhi was secretly surprised when he saw the bodyguard's agility, and couldn't help taking a look at the two. Wisdom and open-mindedness, that young, capable and lean, with piercing eyes and a vigilant face.

He already understood a little bit about the relationship between the two of them.

Several people sat down, and Mrs. Yang served tea.

"My surname is Yao, and I am Mr. Xiao's master. I passed by Longtan Town on business, and I came here to visit. Unfortunately, Mr. Xiao is not here. I am really disturbing you!" When Mrs. Yang was pouring tea, Mr. Yao put his hand on the teacup and said, "Thank you!"

"Use it slowly." Yang slightly bowed his knees towards him, and stepped back.

"Master Yao!" Xiao Jingzhi clasped his fists in a hurry, "I've heard Cheng Yu talk about Master Yao a long time ago, I don't think it's an honor to meet you here today."

"Lord Xiao is an upright person and a clean official. He is a role model for us. When I saw Master today, I realized that Master taught me well. It is really a blessing to be able to talk with Master." Master Yao laughed.

Master Yao glanced at the guard, who quietly withdrew.

Xiao Jingzhi frowned.

Mrs. Yang looked at the sky, there were guests at home, and she was afraid that she might not be able to go to Qianjiao Island, so she went to the kitchen and began to prepare food and drinks. Since she came from Yuzhou, there was no reason for the guests to leave on an empty stomach .

She went to the yard and saw the chicken lying on the ground, so she picked it up, put it aside, hugged the firewood, and prepared to boil water to pack the chicken for entertaining guests.

Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Shen walked in, each holding two chickens in their hands. Seeing the carriage at the door, they asked suspiciously, "Mother, are the siblings back?"

"No, there are guests." Yang responded, seeing them holding the chicken, she understood in her heart, and smiled at the two of them.

"Mother, when are you going to visit your younger siblings? By the way, it's a little bit of love from our two families." Yu Shi said, and the two put the chickens at the door.

"Ordinarily we should also visit our younger siblings, but it's not convenient for us to go with our children and children," Shen said.

"You don't need to go, I can go alone!" Yang Shi smiled, "I will leave later."

"Mother, how long have you been going?" Yu raised her eyes and asked again.

"Let's see and talk, it's only three to five days! You can't stay in someone else's house all the time, right? You have to take it back!" Yang looked at the two and said, "Put the chickens in the chicken coop! Take Not so much, we will talk about it when the third daughter-in-law comes back."

"Oh." The two agreed, and put the chickens into the chicken coop one after another.

Seeing that there were guests at home, the two rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward to help. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got busy in the kitchen.

Three rounds of tea were served on the kang.

Xiao Jingzhi and Master Yao actually talked more and more speculatively, Master Yao heard the women in the kitchen below preparing to eat and entertain him, he didn't refuse, and sat on the kang openly.

The topic was naturally Xiao Chengyu.

Although Xiao Chengyu's life experience did not break the window, Yang and Xiao Jingzhi always believed that Xiao Chengyu already knew, because Yang told Lin Xueman, in their eyes, it was equivalent to telling Xiao Chengyu.

But Xiao Chengyu didn't delve into his life experience, and never asked them, which made Xiao Jingzhi feel a little confused. It stands to reason that if a person knows that the parents who have raised him for many years are not his biological parents, he will definitely come to inquire, and then try to find out. His biological parents, but Xiao Chengyu did not do this.

Perhaps, he hadn't had time to ask these things in detail, Xiao Jingzhi always thought so.

But this Master Yao seems to know something, although he didn't directly ask about their family, but took the initiative to talk about some things 20 years ago, starting from the war, saying that he was just an ordinary guard beside Zhongyihou , Naturally, he also participated in a lot of wars, large and small, and he also said that he had been to Dingyuan Town.

"That's my hometown." Xiao Jingzhi replied calmly.

"Really?" Master Yao looked at him pretending to be surprised, "Could it be that the master also heard about the assassination of the prince and concubine, that is, the current emperor and queen?"

"What? The emperor and empress were assassinated there?" Xiao Jingzhi was taken aback.

"Yes, 20 years ago, the emperor and the empress passed by Dingyuan Town and were assassinated there, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disappeared there." Seeing his surprised face, Master Yao smiled disapprovingly. These are palace secrets, and he didn't know Not too much.

Xiao Jingzhi shook his head: "I have never heard of it."

"But your neighbor Ma Xingzhi is one of those assassins." Master Yao looked at him and said every word.

"What? He turned out to be an assassin!" Xiao Jingzhi was even more surprised that they had been neighbors with an assassin for such a long time...

"20 years ago, did you know each other?"

"I don't know." Xiao Jingzhi shook his head again, "Even if he moved here, we didn't have much contact!"

"Then since he came here, has he ever acted abnormally? For example, has he targeted your family?" Master Yao looked at him calmly.

Xiao Jingzhi's heart suddenly moved, and he told the original story of what happened after Ma Xingzhi came here, and asked again: "Master Yao has asked so many questions, what exactly do you want to know?"
