Di daughter is easy to marry: the stunning princess

Chapter 155 A Sudden Incident
When Jin Xi entered the main cabin which was arranged as a mourning hall, Qin Xiao was worshiping in front of the mourning hall.Her hair is tied with a golden crown, and she is dressed in an ink pigment satin brocade robe with simple flowing cloud patterns embroidered only on the collar and cuffs. boots.As light as a breeze, but with a dignified expression on his face, he bowed three times and kowtowed nine times, and what he did was actually a gift from a nephew or junior.

Feng Mingyu has no heirs, and he has also confiscated his adopted son and apprentice. At this time, the new Cao Gang leader, Hou Yunhai, is wearing a hemp filial piety, kneeling in front of the coffin, and returning gifts to those who come to worship as a filial son.Seeing Qin Xiao making such a great salute, his eyes turned red, and he knocked his head three times in return.

With Qin Xiao's status as an imperial envoy at this time, this action undoubtedly gave the Cao Gang great face, and at the same time, it also gave him, the little-known new leader, a great face.

Lingqian couldn't talk casually, Hou Yunhai only took a deep look at Qin Xiao when he got up, secretly remembering his favor.

Hou Yunhai's gratitude can be seen by Qin Xiao naturally, the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards, he turned his face and saw Jin Xi standing behind him, and nodded his head to her as a greeting.He picked up three sticks of incense and lit them on the candle in front of the incense table, then turned around and handed them to Jin Xi. "Please Princess Leyi offer incense!"

Jin Xi was taken aback by Qin Xiao's over-the-top behavior, wondering why Qin Xiao had no scruples on such a serious occasion, did she know him well?

Well, it's really familiar!The two were too close, Jin Xi's eyes fell on his left chest by accident, and she couldn't help but blushed, she had seen all the scars on this guy's body, no matter how hypocritically she said she was unfamiliar, she was afraid that God would strike her with thunder!
In view of all the eyes, nearly a hundred pairs of eyes of the three sects and nine streams who came to worship in the mourning hall, as well as the members of the Cao Gang, were fixed on the three burning plain incense sticks handed over by Qin Xiao. At this moment, Jin Xi also I couldn't refute his face, so I had to reach out to pick it up.

The moment Suxiang moved away, Qin Xiao suddenly whispered in her ear: "No matter what happens in a while, remember to follow me closely!"

Jin Xi took the incense and was walking towards the worship mat. Hearing this, he was immediately shocked.She didn't think that Qin Xiao would be alarmist at this time, barely concealing the horror in his heart, and walked to the coffin.

Looking at the prayer mat in front of her, Jin Xi was a little tangled up again.For her sake, Feng Mingyu had already publicly denied that she was a descendant of the Feng family. Now, as the princess, she came with Zhou Bohai. According to etiquette, she only needs to bow and offer incense sticks.

But Feng Mingyu lying in the coffin in front of her is indeed her uncle by blood, even if the world doesn't know it, she can't hide it from the sky, the earth, and she can't satisfy her own conscience.

Jin Xi closed her eyes, took a deep breath, knelt down slowly, and performed three prostrations and nine kowtows.Turning slightly, after receiving Hou Yunhai's thank you, he bowed to him again.It was beyond everyone's expectation to be so solemn yet so humbled.Only a faint smile flashed in Qin Xiao's eyes. This is the Jin Xi he knew, and he would not seek profit and avoid harm for his own selfishness.

Hou Yunhai's mood was so ups and downs that he forgot to look at Jinxi who was kneeling and worshiping him.Qin Xiao coughed displeasedly twice before he woke up, and waved his hand to signal Song Chun to help Jinxi up quickly.

Jin Xi stood beside Qin Xiao with a low eyebrow, pretending not to see the suspicious people in the mourning hall.Zhou Bohai was stepping in at this time, whether he was frozen by the sea breeze, or he had waited for the sea for a long time and didn't go out to meet him, his lips were black and blue, and he went straight to the incense table with a sullen expression on his face.

A fat man standing behind Jin Xi who was preparing to offer sacrifices to the spirit tactfully stepped aside, and respectfully raised the freshly lit incense to Zhou Bohai.Zhou Bohai was not polite either, he took the incense and bowed hastily to salute, then handed the incense to the disciples of the Cao Gang who served before the spirit.

Bowing and saluting is the etiquette that the elders give to the younger generation, Zhou Bohai was so negligent that Hou Yunhai's face turned dark immediately.Not wanting Feng Mingyu to leave without peace, he gritted his teeth and returned the salute. His willingness to endure does not mean that all Cao Gang disciples are willing to swallow this useless gas.

"Who is so bold to despise my Cao Gang?" A skinny old man came out of the inner hall with two iron galls the size of walnuts in his hands, looked back and forth at Zhou Bohai, and suddenly shouted violently.

Jin Xi's scalp was numb from his thunderous roar, and her ears were buzzing. She couldn't help but want to cover her ears, but Qin Xiao secretly grabbed her wrist and led her back without a trace. Half a step away from Zhou Bohai.

Zhou Bohai was also shivered by this thunderous shout, but he straightened his neck, looked at the skinny old man in front of him with disdain, and deliberately puffed out his chest.

I don't know what Zhou Bohai was thinking, but today he was wearing a sky-blue satin official uniform, with golden sparrows embroidered on the patch on his chest.Anyone who is not blind can tell that he is a fourth-rank civil servant.No one in Anyang City can wear this kind of official uniform except Zhou Bohai.

But this old man seemed not to know him, his brows were tightly frowned, and there were knife-like wrinkles on his bronze-colored face, all of which were lined with Lingli. Fu, are you disrespectful to the leader of Xianqu?"

"Old man, who are you, you are so reckless and dare to insult the court officials?" Zhou Bohai was furious.The patches on the official uniforms of civil servants in the Dali Dynasty are birds, and the patches on the official uniforms of military officials are animals.It is customary for common people to call officials as civil and military beasts in private, but how can Zhou Bohai not get angry when he is called a beast in person.

Hou Yunhai had already lost face once, so naturally he refused to let Zhou Bohai step down.He got up and saluted the old man respectfully, and quietly stood beside him, pretending not to hear Zhou Bohai's yelling.Everyone in the Cao Gang saw this, but no one responded, and in the end it was the fat man who just gave the place to Zhou Bohai, and introduced in a low voice. "This is Elder Wang from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Cao Gang."

After hearing this, Jin Xi took a deep breath. Earlier, she saw that Elder Wang was not wearing linen, nor did he have any white cloth on his body. He only sewed a strip of linen on the bottom of the belt hanging on his knees, and secretly speculated about his status in the Cao Gang. Not low.Unexpectedly, he turned out to be the elder of the law enforcement hall. Not only is he not low, but he is like a god to the Cao Gang.

Even though Zhou Bohai is a member of the fourth rank, it is only unlucky for him to be in a fight with Elder Wang!
Instead of assassinating and framing those rivers and lakes, they ordered the disciples of the Cao Gang in Anyang to stop sailing for half a month. The goods from the south would not come out from the north, and the food for disaster relief would not arrive on time. Anyang, which had just stabilized, would be in chaos.Zhou Bohai couldn't keep his black hair and his head.

Zhou Bohai is not a fool either, he naturally understands the consequences of offending the elders with the highest seniority in the Cao Gang.He was hung on the bow of the boat and drank the sea breeze just now, and he made such a fuss in a fit of rage, but unexpectedly, he lost the big because of a small one.At this moment, I just wanted to apologize, but I couldn't hold back my face in front of everyone.If it spreads out, he doesn't need to see anyone anymore.

"I've heard about Elder Wang's name for a long time, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Zhou Bohai imitated the gangsters of the Cao Gang, clasping his fists and saluting, his expression much more respectful than before.

Elder Wang, however, refused to rest in peace, and snorted, "Old man, this old man, how can he have a big name. He has no eyes, and thought that some low-ranking scumbag would dare to come to the Cao Gang to make trouble, but he didn't expect it to be the parents of the Anyang Mansion. Take us lowly exiles into your eyes. The sky is big and the earth is big, and the dead are the biggest. Our Cao Gang and the government have never violated the waters of the river. Since Mr. Zhou came to worship, it is the morality of the rivers and lakes. What do you mean by wearing an official robe? Our Cao Gang There is a precept from the ancestors, not to make friends with the government. You are not afraid that the censor will refer to you and make personal friends with bandits. We are also afraid of getting a reputation of being a follower of power."

"Elder Wang is serious!" Zhou Bohai's face turned blue and red, and he came to worship in official uniform according to the capital's custom, just wanting to be ceremonial and grand, and to save face.I didn't expect to be misunderstood by the Cao Gang, and it was a flattery.

Only then did Jinxi understand that Song Chunfu let Zhou Bohai hang out because he was not pleasing to his eyes, but because Zhou Bohai violated the taboo of the Cao Gang.Slightly turned his face away, he really couldn't look directly at Zhou Bohai, who is a pig-headed man.Anyway, I have been in the officialdom for half my life, so how could I make such a low-level mistake.

Seeing the uniform on Qin Xiao's body, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl upwards. This guy is clever and knows how to inquire about the customs in advance.

Qin Xiao caught a glimpse of her small movements, lowered his head slightly, and said in a voice like a gnat: "I'm still smart, right?"

If it wasn't for being in the mourning hall, his eyes begging for praise would definitely make Jin Xi laugh.

Jin Xi glared at him fiercely, then raised his chin slightly in Zhou Bohai's direction, meaning why didn't you remind him?
Qin Xiao snorted, and replied in the same silent voice, the young master doesn't have that much time to spare!

The two of them were communicating silently, and Hou Yunhai over there was pinching the fire to help Zhou Bohai out of the siege, "Master Zhou is a person from the capital who doesn't know the rules of the Cao Gang, so he didn't intend to break the taboo. It's because I didn't make it clear for a while, so please calm down Elder Wang!"

"It's indeed your fault!" Elder Wang's stern brows suddenly turned cold, he stared at Hou Yunhai and shouted: "You are just a little Anyang helmsman, how can He De dare to succeed as the gang leader? "

Hou Yunhai's self-proclaimed sentence of 'there was a mistake' was to lower his stance and let both parties step down.But Elder Wang climbed up the ladder and scolded him in public for "something was wrong", which had a deeper meaning.Before everyone could figure it out, the following sentence "He De He Neng" almost hit the heads of all Cao Gang gang members like a thunderbolt.

Elder Wang is not convinced!

That's right, in terms of seniority, merit, prestige, even appearance, it's not up to Waiting Yunhai to succeed the gang leader.

It has to be said that the Cao Gang has strict rules, and the gang members who heard this had doubts on their faces, but no one talked with each other.

However, Jin Xi could feel that the solemn mourning hall was quite different from before, like a pot of boiled porridge, with more firewood, it would be gurgling.

Hou Yunhai raised his head and stared at Elder Wang for a moment, then suddenly lifted the hem of his filial robe, and knelt down in front of Elder Wang on one knee, "I think that my talents and virtues are not enough to convince the crowd. But the leader is dying, so I dare not No. Elder Wang, as the elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, manages gang members from all over the world, and his mighty virtue is unmatched. After finishing the funeral affairs of the old gang leader, I am willing to give up the position of gang leader to Elder Wang, and ask Elder Wang to take us all together. Brothers, the more you cross, the better."

Jin Xi nodded secretly, no wonder Feng Mingyu passed the position of gang leader to Hou Yunhai, this man looks like a businessman who is kind and rich, but he is a needle in his heart.Even if Elder Wang is crazy about wanting to be the leader, as long as his brain is not cramped, he will not agree on this occasion.If you don't agree at this time, turn your face away and try to find the back tent, but the door is gone!
"Hmph!" Elder Wang sneered, and accepted Hou Yunhai's respect without avoiding it. Now, some of the followers who had recognized Hou Yunhai as the new sect leader showed resentful expressions.

Elder Wang glanced at them, suddenly pointed at Jin Xi, and said loudly: "The blood of the leader of the Feng clan is here, how can the position of the leader of the clan fall into the hands of outsiders?"

The eyes of everyone in the mourning hall fell on Jin Xi.

She finally understood why Qin Xiao let herself follow him closely just now, it turned out that there was something about her!
