Chapter 833
The rain kept falling, and the people watched with wide eyes, as if they were stunned by the scene.

More than 100 heads rolled to the ground in unison, and a pair of bloodshot and unwilling eyes was the last frame of everyone in the Hou Mansion.

On the high platform is a dazzling red that cannot be diluted by rainwater. The thick bloody smell mixed with the smell of soil is disgusting.

The head spun around in the shallow puddle and rolled down the high platform. The common people finally reacted and quickly retreated, and the crowd was immediately let out a small path.

I don't know if people have souls, but Laifu's head stopped a few meters away from Xia Mingxuan, looking in his direction, Laifu's face was quite calm, but there was strong regret in his eyes.

"Blessing!"

Xia Mingxuan almost cried out, he forced himself to bite his tongue, spit out a mouthful of blood, and wiped it casually.

He wanted to live, to avenge his father and mother, to restore the glory of the Marquis Mansion, and after finding his younger sister, he followed his father's previous wishes and defected to the alliance of the small country in the south.

Xia Ruoxue was feeling lost because she couldn't find Xia Mingxuan, the rolling head made her clearly see the porcelain doll in the hand of the man in front of her.

That's right, that must be her eldest brother Xia Mingxuan.

There was a weird smile on her lips, and Xia Ruoxue lowered her head to cover it up. She should have sensed that there were people around her staring at her, maybe her elder brother had exposed her whereabouts.

But, is it someone from the court, or Yuan Huanzhi?
From the north to the capital, Xia Ruoxue's calculations were perfect.

Originally, she didn't realize that the most trusted mother and son around her were Wanqi Yuling's people, but she always felt that something was wrong.

Ordinary servants have bad habits, eating alcohol, playing cards, gambling, and love money like their lives, even loyal servants will have weaknesses.

However, these two were meticulous and loyal, and Xia Ruoxue didn't give them any money as a test for a month, and they didn't say a word.

At this time, she suddenly realized that not loving money is the biggest loophole!Acting in style, it is more like a person who has been trained by an organization for many years.

Xia Ruoxue remained calm, and occasionally took the initiative to mislead the two of them with wrong information. The people who watched Wan Qi Yuling were played around by her, which gave them a sense of accomplishment.

The turning point of the matter happened on the way back to Beijing from Beidi. Yuan Huanzhi's people followed the surveillance all the way, and the mother and son helped her avoid tracking. Xia Ruoxue thought that everyone thought that Yuan Huanzhi's Achilles' heel she had grasped was used as a talisman, so she attracted a lot of attention. He dared not do it.

Before arriving in the capital, Xia Ruoxue made a perfect plan to let Yuan Huanzhi's stalking staff and Wan Qi Yuling leave a hidden stake to meet. When the two sides were fighting, she came out of the golden cicada's shell, put on makeup, and took money to find another reliable... The coachman goes to Beijing.

If it is said that Yuan Huanzhi's biggest secret is not the defense map of Dayue City he has mastered, but the fact that he is inhumane.

Princess Yuyao was once pregnant and was the bastard of Yuan Huanzhi's personal bodyguard. Poor Yuyao was drugged without knowing it, so she showed off to her a lot.

The Yuan family and the Yongping Hou Mansion were very dissatisfied with each other. The marriage was reluctant, and on the wedding day, she entered the house with the high-ranking "princess master", and stayed alone in the vacant room at the wedding night, which made Xia Ruoxue deeply resentful towards Yuan Huanzhi.

However, she has always regarded Mo Yan as the primary target of attack, and it is Mo Yan's fault that she ended up like this.

One late night, Xia Ruoxue was sleepless and fell asleep among the flowers in the back garden. She was only surrounded by Qiuyi, a dowry maid. Qiuyi felt that she had no future, so she turned her head and showed her affection to Yuyao, treating her as a transparent person. .

I should also be grateful for eavesdropping on the conversation between Asu and a man in black that night. I heard that Yuan Huanzhi injured his descendants in the war in the south, and it will be difficult to conceive in the future.He once had skin-to-skin relationship with a lady from a merchant family, and it is said that the other party left an heir.

As the daughter of a barbarian family, Asu stayed by Yuan Huanzhi's side without asking for a name, and she had deep affection. She wanted to leave her mother and keep her son, and take Yuan Huanzhi's flesh and blood with her to raise her personally.

"The best protection is turning a blind eye."

After returning to Beijing, Yuan Huanzhi never saw his son, and even his subordinates never met Miss Feng, so no one would notice this relationship.

Releasing the news to Miss Feng in advance, gaining trust, and then controlling Yuan Huanzhi's heirs is the most prescient thing Xia Ruoxue has done so far.

"Let's go, it's over, the scourge has been beheaded!"

"Damn it, Axie, I want to drink ginger soup to drive away the cold when I get home!"

After the people came to their senses, they retreated in all directions, while Xia Ruoxue, who was petite, was squeezed and staggered. She was about to stabilize her figure when she saw the big brother in front of her, and she fell forward with an idea.

Xia Mingxuan was pushed on the back, he turned his head, and soon, something was stuffed in his hand.

Putting it in his sleeve pocket calmly, he looked around and turned around in disappointment when he couldn't find any trace of the person coming.

The distance was too far, Xia Ruoxue's movements were hidden, and the hidden guards were unaware.

A quarter of an hour later, at Caishikou, there were only officials collecting the bodies of the prisoners, and the common people had already dispersed.

"My lady, it's strange that Xia Ruoxue didn't show up."

Mo Zi brought a pot of hot tea, unexpectedly, things did not develop as they thought.

After searching in the capital for a long time, Xia Ruoxue was not found. Either she hid it too well, or there was a possibility that Xia Ruoxue was caught by Yuan Huanzhi's men.

However, judging from Yuan Huan's stupid actions not long ago, the latter is basically ruled out.

"With so many people, we wouldn't even notice her presence. Xia Mingxuan is the only clue."

Mo Yan rubbed her chin, Xia Ruoxue was able to get away from her own hidden guards, it showed her methods, without strong jealousy and other emotions mixed in, she would be extremely sober and more difficult to deal with.

"Mo Zi, send someone to keep watching Xia Mingxuan, there may be some big moves in the near future."

If Xia Ruoxue can't be found, it's a big gain to find Yuan Huanzhi first, and it's time to cut the grass and root out the roots, so as not to keep any of them, so as to avoid future troubles.

Back in the courtyard, Xia Mingxuan chased Zhou Qian'er away under the pretext of taking a bath. With trembling hands, he opened the oiled paper bag inside.

The oiled paper package has the scent of osmanthus. This is the package of a long-established osmanthus crisp candy in Kyoto, and my sister Xia Ruoxue used to love it.

It's just because Xia Ruoxue, who has always been thin, put on weight after she was more than ten years old, and she has a round face. For the sake of beauty, she reluctantly gave up her favorite crispy candy.

Opening the paper bag, there was a bunch of paper inside, with three characters written on it, "Great Compassion Temple".

Throwing the note into the water, the ink stains on it were soaked, Xia Mingxuan's whole body sank into the bathtub, he closed his eyes, his heart was pounding, no one could understand his current mood.

After losing her parents and home, she is about to meet her younger sister!

In retrospect, my little sister Xia Ruoxue was still very cute, and he had said a lot of good things to persuade her to eat a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus halva.

"In that case, Miss Ben will eat a piece."

Pretending to pick up a piece dignifiedly, Xia Ruoxue quickly put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes and chewing like a greedy cat.

Things are different and people are different, parents are gone, only their brother and sister depend on each other.

Xia Mingxuan closed his eyes, tears rolled down his face, he looked at the scraps of paper in the bathtub, his expression became more determined.

In the afternoon, the hall was dark, and the censer was burning with the smell of sweet-scented osmanthus. There was an oil lamp beside it, and Mo Yan was sitting by the lamp to read the laws of Da Viet.

Bao Zhixian was transferred to Kyoto to take up his post. From a barren land, he became the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. He was in charge of compiling the new laws of Dayue.

There are rumors in Kyoto that Bao Zhixian is a relative of the Mo family, so he can make such a high rise.

The law is divided into several broad areas, in which the definition of killing is vague, and there is such a case.

A strong man was walking on the road, and accidentally ran into an old man. The old man was weak, he shook and fell to the ground, and then died.

The yamen arrested the strong man, thinking that murder should be beheaded, but the strong man refused to accept it. He didn't use a murder weapon, so why did he kill him?

In the end, the local parents recognized the reason for the death, thinking that the old man's death was inseparable from the strong man, and sentenced Qiu Hou Wen to beheaded.

The record in the file is very perfunctory. First of all, the other party is an old man. He is in his twilight years. He may have some kind of physical disease. He may have died of the disease at that time. The strong man is not guilty of murder.

There is also a possibility that the strong man bumped into the old man and caused death, but the two had no enmity, and it still has nothing to do with the word "kill" for killing, and there is no motive for killing.

Bao Zhixian put forward a point of view, first solve the problem of human life, and hope that there will be fewer unjust cases in Da Yue.

People say that murder pays for life, which is only established under certain circumstances. This is a folk saying, and it cannot be used as a basis for the yamen to judge people's life and death.

Many officials are not familiar with the laws of Dai Viet, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are not a few people who do whatever they want.

"Ma'am, Xia Ruoxue sent a note to Xia Mingxuan without knowing it."

Mo Zi was carrying the food box, and she prepared light side dishes for dinner, and the original spicy chicken and other dishes were distributed to the servants in the palace by her.

Wan Yu Yuling specially sent someone to tell her that after seeing the blood, Mo Yan had to be a vegetarian, and it was best not to put red pepper in it.

"There are only three characters of Dabei Temple on it."

Thanks to the cleverness of the dark guard, he realized that Xia Mingxuan sent Zhou Qianer away, so he followed up and saw him open the note.

"Great Compassion Temple?"

Use the Buddhist temple as the meeting place for the brother and sister, or is it Xia Ruoxue's hiding place there?
Mo Yan rubbed her forehead, thinking that Dabei Temple is not an ordinary temple. It is said that there is an abbot with profound Dharma. close.

If Xia Ruoxue secretly hid in the temple, her side would never have expected it.

"Yesterday was just past the fifteenth day. The next time we open the door to welcome pilgrims, we will have to wait until the first day of next month."

It took half a month for some accidents to happen, but it was always right to keep an eye on Xia Mingxuan while secretly looking for Xia Ruoxue.

The net has been cast for so long, and it is time to harvest it.
