Only father and son were left in the house.

Xia Houqing's mood was a little complicated.

Having just experienced Xia Houzheng's betrayal, any betrayal by anyone around him would be hard for him to accept.

What's more, the object of suspicion is his closest second uncle.

Xie Jinnian lowered his eyes and did not speak, just stood there quietly.

The cold wind blew, shaking the candlelight on the pedestal, and the shadow cast on the ground danced eeriely.

Finally, Xia Houqing opened her mouth, but she didn't immediately ask whether the news was true or not.

"You got very close to that girl? You even told her such a big secret."

This is somewhat unusual.

Xia Houqing's eyes were full of doubts.

Xie Jin sighed in a young voice: "I went to Baihua Palace this morning and played a few games of chess with Yun Lin. He asked about the treasure map and Dragon Crystal. I showed a little trick and let him see something strange. He Said that if I don't tell the truth, I will be reported to my adoptive father. I have no choice but to honestly tell my subordinates about the discovery of the fourth dragon crystal."

Speaking of this, he said helplessly: "I didn't tell the second young lady in the carriage, but the second young lady heard it from outside the door. I underestimated Yun Lin, he is very smart, and I can't hide anything from him. "

The words seemed to be telling about his helplessness, but in fact they praised Yun Lin and picked himself clean.

Anyway, as long as you bring Yun Lin with you, most of the matter will be solved.

Xia Houzheng was dazzled by jealousy, he had to fight Yun Lin, otherwise he would not be completely defeated if he flattered Yun Lin.

The suspicion in Xia Houqing's eyes dissipated a lot, she frowned and glanced at Xie Jinnian: "Which of your subordinates saw it with their own eyes?"

"Ye Lang."

Xie Jinnian finished speaking without changing his face, and asked proactively, "Does foster father send him to come for questioning?"

"No need." Xia Houqing looked at Xie Jinnian seriously, "I just want to ask you one last time, are you sure that the fourth dragon crystal is in the hands of the second grandfather?"

Xie Jinnian met Xia Houqing's scrutiny without hesitation: "I believe Ye Lang will not lie to me."

Xia Houqing closed her eyes: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Xie Jinnian lowered his eyes, and said with a complicated expression: "I dare not, and... I also have a little doubt, is it just a resemblance, and not the fourth dragon crystal that my foster father has been looking for? That's what Rin said, tell him to keep quiet, I'll try to find out."

Su Xiaoxiao, who had listened to it outside, was stunned by the eunuch chief's ability to create something out of nothing.

This guy was a basket in his previous life, right?

So can make up!

Xia Houqing asked: "Who else have you mentioned about Long Jing?"

Xie Jinnian said: "Except for Yun Lin and Yifu, there is nothing left. Oh, count the second young lady who eavesdropped."

Su Xiaoxiao: Eavesdrop on you bastard!

After that, Xia Houqing didn't say any more.

Xie Jinnian came out of the house.

Su Xiaoxiao glared at him, groaned, tossed her little head, and turned her face away!

Xie Jinnian looked at Su Xiaoxiao and smiled gently: "Father, Second Young Madam, what other orders do you have?"

"No, you go back first."

Xia Houqing's tired voice came from inside the house.

The two stepped out of his bedroom.

Su Xiaoxiao walked ahead swaggeringly with her hands behind her back.

Xie Jinnian followed closely.

When they arrived at the path where no one was around, Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "Are you still following me? Why don't you hurry up and frame her?"

Xie Jinnian said calmly, "Look back."

Su Xiaoxiao: "I'm too lazy to look at you!"

Xie Jinnian: "I think you'd better take a look."

Su Xiaoxiao stopped and turned around strangely, only to find that her gold bracelet had hooked his sleeve, and even the silk thread was pulled out a lot.

This bracelet was given by the palace mistress's wife. It was originally hung with two small auspicious cloud pendants, but Wei Xiaobao probably dragged one of them, and the mouth was broken.

Looking at it this way, it looks like she dragged Xie Jinnian all the way.

Su Xiaoxiao was frightened: "Just now... has it always been like this?"

Xie Jinnian responded calmly: "Yes."

Su Xiaoxiao was in a bad mood: "There are so many people on the road...why didn't you remind me?"

Xie Jinnian: "I thought you did it on purpose."

Su Xiaoxiao's face darkened.

Chief eunuch, you are addicted, right?

You wait for me!

The big move is coming!

Su Xiaoxiao quickly untied the silk thread stuck on the bracelet, and shouted angrily: "Five tigers!"

Xie Jinnian smiled: "It's in the cage."

Su Xiaoxiao sneered: "Do you think the cage can hold it?"

As soon as the words fell, the five tigers flew over with fluttering small wings, and plunged into Su Xiaoxiao's arms.

To lie down in a fragrant and soft place!

Su Xiaoxiao caught the 25-year-old boy out.

At this time, Xie Jinnian's personal servant ran over panting, glanced at the five tigers, and panted to Xie Jinnian: "Master... Fang... just... Ruyi pretended to be dead... I accidentally opened the cage..."

"Ruyi, come here."

Xie Jinnian said to the five tigers.

The five tigers did not move.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a piece of bird food: "Five Tigers, here it is."

The five tigers were so excited that they fanned their little wings until they smoked!

One by one, a bird!

It hasn't done the task yet!

The hostess finally stopped searching, can you believe it!

Xie Jinnian's mouth twitched.

"How much is a piece?"

Su Xiaoxiao changed her face in a second, came to Xie Jinnian in a flash, rubbed her little hands and said, "It's not expensive, selling it to brother Jinnian is a family price!"

-

At noon, Xia Houqing went to Xia Houyi's yard and had lunch with Xia Houyi.

Xia Houyi has been in a wheelchair for many years, and she has lost the strength to raise her arms. She also has difficulty chewing and eating slowly.

Xia Houqing fed him as usual and wiped his mouth patiently.

"Second Uncle, the weather is fine today, I will push you to take a walk in the garden."

Xia Houyi sat quietly in the wheelchair.

Xia Houqing came behind him, supported the wheelchair with both hands, and pushed the man out.

As soon as the two left, Elder Zhao and Elder Liu walked in with sullen faces.

There are puppets in the yard, but they are no match for the two elders.

There are several gardens in the City Lord's Mansion, and the one Xia Houqing came to is the one by the lotus pond.

In winter, the lotus pond withers.

It's bleak and clean here.

Xia Houqing parked the wheelchair on the shore, looked at the dry lotus pond, and said softly: "Second Uncle, you haven't talked to me for a long time, I miss you very much when you can still talk."

Xia Houyi leaned on the wheelchair with a cold and empty expression.

Xia Houqing said: "Before my father died, I entrusted my younger brothers and me to my second uncle. I still remember that I almost missed the position of city lord. It was my second uncle who helped me. I have always been very grateful to my second uncle, and even thought about it, if The second uncle is willing, I can let the second uncle take the position of city lord.

"Second Uncle, you won't betray me, will you?"

-

Half an hour later, the two elders finished their search.

The yard was in a mess, full of signs of fighting.

The two elders glanced at the lifeless puppet on the ground, snorted coldly, and stepped out of the yard.

Manager Chang ordered people to clean up the scene, and everything in the house returned to its original position.

At first glance, it seemed as if no one had ever been there.

The two elders came to the small garden and cupped their hands at the city lord from a distance.

Xia Houyi was sitting in a wheelchair with his back facing them, the cold wind blowing towards him cut his face like a knife.

Xia Houqing didn't tell Xia Houyi that the two elders were coming, so he waved his hands.

The two elders had complex expressions, and hesitated to speak.

Xia Houqing asked with her eyes.

The two elders shook their heads regretfully.

No dragonglass was found.

Xia Houqing looked away and said to Xia Houyi: "Second Uncle, I'll take you back."

In another small garden, Su Xiaoxiao was taking two phoenix birds for a walk, and by the way, gave physical examinations to the rare birds that Xie Jinnian had raised in the past.

"This is a value-added service for Brother Jinnian!"

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

"snort."

Xie Jinnian snorted, "One thousand taels, ten pieces of bird food, and it's your birds."

Su Xiaoxiao smiled: "Now it's Brother Jinnian's Ruyi! As long as the bird food is in place, Ruyi will be there at any time! Brother Jinnian, do you want ten more bird food? Accumulate a hundred and get ten as a gift!"

"Young master!"

Ye Lang walked over quickly.

"What's wrong?" Xie Jinnian asked.

"The dragon crystal that Ruyi let the golden eagle put in disappeared, and the two elders returned empty-handed."

Ye Lang frowned and said.

Su Xiaoxiao's face changed: "Are you sure? Could you be mistaken?"

"I have been guarding outside, and saw with my own eyes the two elders come out empty-handed."

Ye Lang didn't hide on purpose, after all, no matter how much you hide in front of the two, it's meaningless.

He stood outside generously according to the young master's orders.

"You lost." Xie Jinnian said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Five thousand taels."

Ye Lang was taken aback, you two still bet?

Su Xiaoxiao bites him.

After finally earning him one thousand taels, I lost to him four thousand taels later!

"Did you know you couldn't find it from the beginning?"

"No, I was just betting, but luckily I won."

Ye Lang gave Su Xiaoxiao a sympathetic look: "Miss Cheng, why do you want to bet with my son? He has never lost before."

Su Xiaoxiao was wronged: "Who can bear fifty thousand taels of gold!"

Xie Jinnian smiled gently: "It's time to close the net."

"Are you sure you searched carefully?"

In the study, Xia Houqing asked the two elders seriously.

Elder Liu said: "City Master, the two of us even disturbed the latrine, and we really didn't find anything? Could it be that the second grandpa moved the dragon crystal? It's not in his yard anymore?"

Elder Zhao said: "For such an important thing, you can only feel at ease if you keep it by your side. From my point of view, the Second Grandfather may never have had a fourth dragon crystal in his hands."

Elder Liu: "You mean... the Second Young Master lied and slandered the Second Great Master?"

Elder Zhao said: "Even if it's not him, it might be his subordinate, why don't you arrest him and torture him!"

Elder Liu: "Isn't it right... I think the biggest possibility is that the second grandpa hid the dragon crystal in another corner of the city lord's mansion. I remember that the Five Poison Sect has very powerful hunting dogs, and they are best at finding objects."

Xia Houqing frowned: "Immediately seal the city lord's mansion, and not let a single fly out! Also, trouble the two elders to go to the Five Poison Sect and borrow the hound."

At this time, Chang Guanshi ran over in a panic: "City Master, a puppet has gone crazy! Many guards have been injured!"

Xia Houqing said: "The two elders leave one person behind."

"Elder Zhao can take a step ahead, I will catch up in a while."

"No, it's enough for me to go alone."

Elder Zhao left the City Lord's Mansion.

Elder Liu subdued the mad puppet, and said suspiciously to the city lord: "City lord, I always feel that Elder Zhao is acting weird today, as if he has to leave the city lord's mansion."

"You suspect..."

"During the search just now, he said that he had already searched one room, and told me that there was no need to search again, and he quickly searched the next one."

"Could it be... that the dragon crystal is on him? Elder Liu, hurry up and stop him! Take the dragon crystal back!"

"yes!"

Elder Liu got into the carriage leaving the house.

The curtain was lowered, and he showed a cold smile.

Elder Zhao, I'm sorry, you're going to be gone today.

Long Jing was also "transferred" to Baihua Palace by you, everything is a "conspiracy" between Baihua Palace and the second son.

"Cut a shortcut and go to the Five Poisons Sect."

He, together with the entire Five Poison Sect, is enough to deal with Elder Zhao!

Elder Liu closed his eyes in satisfaction, and smiled leisurely.

The coachman seemed to be drunk today, the carriage drove crookedly, Elder Liu scolded:

"Will you drive? Who do you want to kill?"

...

About half an hour later, Elder Liu suddenly woke up from his sleep!

Just now he actually fell asleep.

It's all the Baihua Palace's fault. After drinking such a strong drink, I still have a headache now.

The carriage stopped for some time.

He asked lazily, "Are you there?"

The coachman said nothing.

Elder Liu opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

But when he took a closer look, he was instantly dumbfounded.

This is not the Five Poisons Sect, but the Hundred Flowers Palace!

He turned and left!

All of a sudden, he met Xie Jinnian who had a cold face.

His heart trembled, and he subconsciously bent down to touch his right calf.

"Looking for this?"

Su Xiaoxiao's smiling voice appeared behind him.

He turned to look at the door of Baihua Palace, and saw Su Xiaoxiao holding a piece of dragon crystal with black light in her right hand, looking at her with a smile on her face.

Beside her, stood Ling Yun with an indifferent face.

"you……"

He was speechless for a moment.

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and said, "I want to ask how I got it? It's simple, I put the medicine on the carriage, and as long as you get on the carriage, you will be overwhelmed by the medicine."

It turned out that it was because of this that I fell asleep in the carriage.

Su Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "Are you starting to think of excuses? For example, if you don't know, Elder Zhao put it on you. But the dragon crystal is so heavy, you will always feel it when it is placed on you, right?"

Elder Liu squeezed his fingers: "You Baihua Palace planted me! You stunned me and tied the dragon crystal to me!"

"No, the driver is the city lord himself, and the dragon crystal was found by the city lord himself!"

As soon as Su Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the coachman tore off the human skin mask on his face.

If it wasn't Xia Houqing, who else?

The words coded in the hospital, big fat stamps, ask for a wave of guaranteed monthly tickets.
