I can't afford it, it's super fierce!

Chapter 25

"Thank you, I'll be back soon."

"You, the little wind and cold are still not good enough, I will help you sweep the snow in the yard."

"That's so embarrassing, thank you sister." Xiao He breathed into her hands, greeted the maid who worked in the same room, and left through the back door.

Xiao He turned around every three steps, looked around every five steps, first went to the pharmacy to get medicine, and then sat down at a roadside tea stand.

After half a stick of incense, an old man in gray came over and sat down, with a gloomy expression on his face, Xiao He panicked when he saw it: "Master Zhong, Third Aunt and the others really all..."

"Yes." The gray-clothed old man sighed heavily: "No one survived, all died."

Xiao He was shocked: "Twenty or so brothers, just... all gone?"

"Well." The gray old man's tone was not harsh, but his old but extremely shrewd eyes showed a strong murderous look: "I checked their bodies, and judging from the wounds, at least three of them killed them. One of them was the most ruthless. The insidiousness, quickness and ruthlessness are simply outrageous."

"This, this is so unbelievable." Xiao He couldn't believe it, "If you don't talk about others, let's talk about Third Aunt. You know her skill, Master Zhong. Looking at the whole Dayu, there are very few masters who can beat her, right? "

"There are people out there whose martial arts cultivation is higher than your third aunt's, and they can be ranked in the world. It's not difficult to guess who it is after a little elimination. It's just..."

Xiao He hurriedly asked: "But what?"

"I thought about it and made a list of possible personnel. These people have no grievances against Zhu Min. Why kill her? What is the purpose of such a cruel bloodbath of the silk and satin village?"

"This..." Xiao He thought silently, suddenly his whole body became agitated, and his face changed drastically: "Could it be that you came to find Zhuhui to seek revenge?"

The old man shook his head: "But they have nothing to do with Zhuhui. If Zhu Min has participated in Zhuhui's assassination...you know that we are always ruthless in Zhuhui's affairs. room for revenge."

"Revenge, revenge?" Xiao He suddenly realized something, and her face suddenly turned pale: "I have heard from you, Master Zhong, that three years ago, our master issued an order to chase the sun, ordering the members of Zhuhui from the three mountains and five mountains to join us. A massive massacre plan."

Xiao He glanced left and right, and seeing no one around, she approached the old man, and said in a low voice, "Bloodwash Jiang Ming, the leader of the Jiu Shu of the imperial court, and massacre the whole family of Jiang's family."

"It is true." The old man nodded.

"There is no one alive in the whole house, even chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs have been killed. But...Master Zhong, you said, it seems that the only son of Mr. Jiang is not on the death list."

The old man's face turned livid in an instant, "You mean...he came to take revenge?"

"Is it not possible?"

"This..." The old man clenched his fists and stood up almost in astonishment: "The prestige of the Jiang family in the capital can be imagined. It is not easy for us Zhuhui to infiltrate it. It is also a great risk to carry out massacres. We can kill as many as we can in the fastest time, and we have to evacuate as soon as possible in order not to alarm the imperial army. So how many people died, and whether any of them slipped through the net... Even the master is not sure. Afterwards, for the sake of caution, I asked Those who participated in this extermination. No one said that they killed a 14-year-old boy with their own hands."

"No one has ever killed him?" Xiao He was stunned, only feeling horrified: "Does that mean he is still alive?"

"It's possible, maybe someone hid him when we massacred him. Mr. Jiang's family is weak and sick, and he has never left his mouth since birth. His body has long been eroded by the soup. , whether he can live or not depends on his good fortune, so Master Zhang didn't care too much, thinking that this person is nothing to be afraid of."

"Yes." Xiao He suddenly woke up, "Jiang Junge, son of the Jiang family, is a sick child, and he may have passed away by now."

When Xiao He said this, she didn't know whether she was comforting the old man or comforting herself. She had seen the bloodbath scene in the silk and satin village with her own eyes. More than 20 corpses died in the yard, and a dozen of them had no chance of fighting back. Killed by one hit.Moreover, there were no external injuries on their bodies, but bleeding from the seven orifices, and the internal organs were shattered alive by the opponent's powerful internal force.

Thinking of that, Xiao He's heart trembled: "Master Zhong, fake, assuming that all this was done by the Jiang family son. Although he is weak and vain, he can hire murderers to kill people. If he is secretly manipulating and secretly hiring Which killer in the rivers and lakes..."

"There is some truth in what you said." The old man stroked his beard lightly, and said, "Well, let's work on this line for the time being. Since Jiushu is an organization of the imperial court, you can wait for the opportunity to investigate in Prince Shu's residence."

Xiao He got up and bowed respectfully: "Yes, Master Zhong, don't worry."

"Brother Yu Tai, this is the prince's medicinal food." The maid handed two food boxes to Yu Tai: "The other is the ginseng soup that the prince specially ordered to cook for Mr. Jiang. You have to send it while it is hot."

Yu Tai smiled helplessly: "My lord has ordered me to deliver the ginseng soup to Mr. Jiang first, and then to deliver the medicine to him, and to hurry up so that the ginseng soup doesn't get cold on the way."

"The lord treats Mr. Jiang so well, you have to be smart." The servant girl smiled ambiguously and said, "Our Highness, I would rather drink cold tea and medicine by myself than let Mr. Jiang's soup cool down a little."

Yu Tai leaned against the door frame, sighed and said, "Poor me, running around here in heavy snow."

"You just have to be silly." The servant girl scolded with a smile: "The prince trusts you and let you take care of young master Jiang's daily life. You are very beautiful in your heart. If you don't get cheap there, you are still a good boy. How many people in our palace are thinking about serving him?" That Young Master Jiang, who is so celestial, will change sooner or later if you don't like it."

"Hey, there is no robbery." Yu Tai pretended to be annoyed, causing everyone in the kitchen to burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, don't be silly." A rough woman sent firewood to the stove, looked outside, and said impatiently: "Why is this Xiaohe so slow? It takes more time to ask her to bring a bucket of water." After so long, fell into the well?"

As soon as the words fell, Xiao He came back with the bucket in both hands, swaying all the way, the clear water splashed everywhere, and when it was handed over to the mother-in-law, there was only half of the whole bucket of water left, and the mother-in-law was very annoyed to see it.

"Xiao He is in good health, mother-in-law, please be considerate." Yu Tai begged casually, after all, he is also the confidant of the prince, and the rough-as-nails mother-in-law would not dare to offend her, so she nodded and laughed, and ordered Xiao He to return Go get a bucket.

"Yes, yes, please don't be angry." Xiao He apologized weakly, leaving Yu Tai, who picked up the food box and left from the corner of the eye, and hurriedly followed with the bucket.

"Brother Yu Tai, Brother Yu Tai." Xiao He shouted from afar.Yu Tai stopped, turned around, Xiao He ran up to him and said out of breath, "Thank you for helping me, otherwise I will definitely be scolded again."

"It's okay, it's a small matter."

"Has Brother Yu Tai been with the prince for a long time?"

"Well, I have been with the prince since I was five years old." Yu Tai counted the days: "It's almost 20 years."

"It's been so long, the prince must be good to you."

"It's not just me, the prince is good to everyone."

"His Royal Highness King Shu is pure and kind-hearted, he is a gentleman of benevolence and righteousness."

"You little girl can talk quite well." Yu Tai smiled, and his face suddenly turned sad again: "It's a pity that God didn't give him a good body."

Xiao He's heart moved slightly, and a ray of urgency flashed in his eyes: "Yes, speaking of being weak, this servant suddenly thought of the young master of the Jiang family. It seems that he is also in poor health just like the prince."

Yu Tai showed surprise on his face, "You still know Young Master Jiang?"

"Brother Yutai, Xiaohe is also a native of Beijing. The former leader of the nine branches, Mr. Jiang, who only listened to the emperor's orders, has power in the court, with one person under ten thousand. The power of Dayu is overwhelming, in Jianghu and foreign countries. He is also a well-known character. With such a high reputation, his son has also attracted much attention, but I never thought that Mr. Jiang is invincible and invincible. But his son is weak and sick, and has no strength to restrain the chicken."

"Who says it's not? It's a pity. Because of this, Mr. Jiang's enemies are not less gloating." Yu Tai sighed: "In addition to what happened to the Jiang family three years ago, the first emperor passed away, Jiushu was disbanded, Changing dynasties, the past is over."

"Is the young master of the Jiang family dead too?"

"For sure!" Yu Tai said: "The villains broke into the mansion, killed countless soldiers, and all the family and servants lost their lives. If it is really what Mr. Jiang's enemies say, then as Mr. Jiang's only son, shouldn't he bear the brunt of it? No one can leave him behind! Besides, he is weak and weak, so he can't escape such cruel killing."

"That's true."

"However..." Yu Tai looked around, intentionally making the atmosphere weird and bizarre: "I heard from the errands of the Jingzhao Yamen that they displayed all the corpses in the Jiang residence, but they found a few thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys who fit the bill. The age of that young master of the Jiang family. Judging by his attire and appearance, he does not look like a young master of the Jiang family. After all, that young master of the Jiang family has been living in the mansion since he was born and rarely went out, so there are too few people who know him There is a saying that the son of the Jiang family is not dead, he disappeared after escaping from birth, and his life and death are unknown."

Xiao He's heart skipped a beat, and her face became a little anxious, "So is he dead or not?"

"Where can I go for proof. It's been three years. Even if he was alive at the time, he was already weak because of the family accident, so he couldn't..." Yu Tai tilted his neck and stuck out his tongue, showing a belching expression.

Xiao He didn't say anything, just thoughtful.

"Oh, I'm just talking nonsense with you, I have to bring Mr. Jiang soup." Yu Tai slapped his forehead and ran away in a hurry.

Xiao He walked to the mouth of the well, threw the bucket down, and lifted it up easily after it was filled with water.She walked forward slowly, without spilling a single drop of water in the barrel.

Young master Jiang, young master Jiang, young master Jiang! ?

Xiao He shuddered firmly.Thinking of where to go, except for the same surname, these two people are almost the same.Really getting more anxious and more chaotic, just thinking about it!

Yu Tai trotted all the way to Xinyulou, and tried the bowl with his hand before entering the door. Fortunately, it was lukewarm.

Yu Tai breathed evenly, knocked the door lightly and entered the room: "Young Master Jiang, this is the ginseng soup that the prince specially asked the little one to give you."

Yu Tai opened the food box and put the porcelain bowl on the table: "When I came here, I was pestered by the maid Xiaohe for a few words, and I came a little late. The young master tested the temperature, and if he felt cold, the younger one took it to the kitchen Change."

"No need." Jiang Li reached out to pick up the porcelain bowl, "The temperature is just right, thank you."

"Don't dare."

Jiang Li drank the ginseng soup, looked up at Yutai, showing a surprised expression: "Just now you said, you chatted with a maid named Xiaohe?"

"That's right." Yu Tai said: "Xiao He's girl mentioned Master Jiang Mingjiang to the younger one, and she also felt a little bit emotional about Master Jiang's only son, so she casually said a few words."
