But Xiao Heng didn't care about all these at this time. He looked at Su Yao and rushed to Master Liu's room in a hurry.
Xiao Heng kicked the door open, and the first thing that caught Su Yao's eyes was a pair of feet in the air. She was startled for a moment, and when she wanted to take a closer look, her eyes were covered by a hand.
Xiao Heng's voice also sounded gently in her ears: "Don't look."
Then he turned Su Yao in a different direction, went into the house quickly and lowered Master Liu from the rope hanging from the beam.
Although Xiao Heng asked her not to look, Su Yao had seen more cruel things in the Miao village many times, so she quickly turned around and saw Master Liu lying flat on the ground by Xiao Heng. Although she already had a premonition in her heart, she still couldn't help closing her eyes.
In fact, compared to that fake A-Long and those cruel people, Master Liu is not really a bad person.
After Su Yao ridiculed the fake A'long, he went to scold Master Liu. At that time, Master Liu did not argue at all.
She walked in and saw Xiao Heng looking for something on Master Liu, so she asked softly, "Who is he..."
"He was strangled to death and then pretended to hang himself." Xiao Heng frowned, his face was extremely cold: "It must be that there was not enough time. The murderer started the murder when we arrived at the gate..." As he said this, he turned around and saw Su Yao's appearance, and softened his tone: "Don't be sad, Master Liu is still alive."
What
Even someone like Su Yao was so shocked that she lost her composure, but she also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and her legs went limp and she knelt on the ground.
Xiao Heng flexed his fist and gestured at a point just below Master Liu's chest in some unknown way, then hit him a few times with just the right amount of force. Immediately afterwards, Su Yao heard a cough.
She was so surprised that she was a little overwhelmed, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
After all, the person who was originally dead actually came back to life. This kind of shock and surprise is really beyond words.
Xiao Heng hummed, breathed a sigh of relief, untied the rope wrapped around Master Liu's neck, and asked him softly, "Are you feeling better?"
Master Liu coughed violently for a while before he finally recovered. He opened his eyes and saw Xiao Heng and Su Yao. He didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression became strange, but he finally smiled: "Okay, it's okay. I'm really lucky. I escaped the pursuit of Yongding Bo many years ago, and now I've escaped that group of people again."
Seeing that his voice was hoarse, Xiao Heng stood up and poured him a glass of water on the table.
Master Liu took it, thanked him earnestly, and took a sip of water before saying, "Those people, you know even without me telling you, are from the sea. I'll tell you this, there's no need to beat around the bush, after all, you'll definitely have to face them head-on in the future. Those people are from the Chi family."
This was the first time that someone mentioned the Southeast matter to them without being vague or evasive. Xiao Heng and Su Yao looked at Master Liu seriously, waiting for him to finish what he was going to say.
Master Liu did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "Yes, you guessed it right. They are the relatives of the deposed Empress Chi, who took refuge in the Chi family in Fuzhou, Fujian, which is the mother's family of Empress Chi. The Chi family is a famous family in Fuzhou, but it was just an ordinary big family until Empress Chi came to power. Since then, the Chi family has started to do maritime business."
Su Yao had expected this.
After all, to support such a big stall, you need a lot of money, and what other business can be more profitable than the business on the sea
I heard that the Japanese people are even further overseas, and those people are very fond of the porcelain, tea and cloth of the Great Zhou. Exchanging these things with them can get very considerable amounts of gold, gems and silver. Such a huge reward is enough to make people take risks.
What’s more, there is Queen Chi who is full of resentment
She had always felt that the deposed emperor owed her a debt of gratitude and was anxious to seek justice for herself and her son.
only... ...
Su Yao raised his eyebrows: "Empress Chi should be dead, right?"
Otherwise, wouldn’t you be almost a centenarian
Master Liu nodded, "Of course. Empress Chi died 20 years ago. She passed away after dealing with the late Crown Prince. She was originally depressed and had been suffering from pain and illness for many years. She didn't last long. Not long after she passed away, her son, Xiao Yan, took over the power of the Chi family. But later Xiao Yan also died. The head of the Chi family, or the person in charge of the entire southeast who does maritime business together, and your opponent, is now Xiao Yuan."
Xiao Yuan... ..
Xiao Heng also reacted immediately: "But, I heard my father say before that he went to the southeast and blocked the people, and Bai Qiye and the others vaguely revealed that it was..."
But he stopped talking.
After all, Qiu Chuxing and Bai Qiye might not be able to tell the real name for sure.
Master Liu glanced at him and said with certainty: "I don't know what name he used to face others, but I am sure that his name is Xiao Yuan. Because at the beginning he needed me to make a gunpowder barrel to blow up his uncle who was against him. At that time, I heard the people of the Chi family calling him Xiao Yuan and cursing him to die a bad death."
So, it turns out that the person hiding behind the scenes and manipulating so many people is called Xiao Yuan.
Xiao Heng tapped his finger on the table, and when he saw that Master Liu had stopped, he asked, "Can the imperial court just destroy the Chi family?"
Master Liu was obviously a little surprised that Xiao Heng would ask him this. He looked at Xiao Heng suspiciously and said, "How to kill him? Who can prove that he is Xiao Yuan and a descendant of the deposed emperor? Besides, the deposed emperor had already deposed Empress Chi. In the eyes of the world, Empress Chi was implicated innocently. In the comparison between the evil empress and the deposed emperor, Empress Chi became a virtuous empress. After your grandfather ascended the throne, he still gave Empress Chi the title of Chonghui Immortal Master."
The implication is, how did you destroy them
How to destroy it
In fact, Xiao Heng himself knew that those people had been hiding behind the scenes all along. Because they had too much and their interests were too closely tied together, the entire Southeast noble family was very united. The problem was that all the people involved could be cleaned up by them.
If there is no very clear and necessary reason to destroy the Chi family, it would not be easy even for the imperial court.
And it doesn't work.
But it doesn’t matter, Xiao Heng slowly raised the corners of his mouth.
After all, what he never lacks is patience.
