As for those servant girls and old women, they were beaten and killed because of their failure to protect the Lord. They were also meant to set an example to others and frighten the rest of them.

If ginger is really old and spicy, Mrs. Hou does everything step by step, leaving no mistakes. Ji Jiaqian finally gives Ji Qingrou a cold sweat.

An guohou also came back to his senses. He didn't look like he was in the palace. He led them to the Chaifang and said, "what's inside is the bodyguard who follows rouer. The old lady is behind. If you want to ask, just go in and ask."

Father Xi waved his hand with a smile and said, "the emperor asked me to come and have a look

Xiao Xilin nodded slightly and said to Xiao Jiawei: "go and move two chairs, and then make room for the people inside to ask questions one by one."

An guohou was stunned, but he was surprised: "it takes a lot of time to ask one by one. Does Taifu want to let Lord Xi wait here for a long time?"

The backyard is not a good thing. It's dirty. The wood room is simple and the backyard is bare. It's not a good place to entertain guests.

Xiao Xilin laughed and replied, "Lord Xi used to fight around with the emperor. What place have you never been? But a messy backyard is better than a stinking swamp. "

Naturally, an guohou knew that when the emperor was fighting, he was trapped in a swamp for ten days. When he was rescued, he smelled all over, and it took five or six times to wash away.

Father Xi followed him, and naturally he was smoked.

Referring to the past, father-in-law Xi laughed and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao knew about the past so many years ago?"

Even the eunuch, he is still a man of blood. I have always kept in mind the glorious memories of following the emperor in battle.

However, with the passing of years, the old people around them are no longer in advance, and the younger generation has never heard of them at all.

It's said that if you forget the bitterness, how can you cherish the sweetness now?

Xiao Xilin said with a smile: "when I was a child, my father liked to talk about the story of the emperor's battle. Xi was often mentioned. I always firmly remember that the prosperity of Qingguo today is the result of the emperor's efforts and nights."

Father Xi sighed. No wonder the old emperor liked the young Taifu so much. Even after reading countless books and experiencing half a lifetime of ups and downs, he couldn't help feeling good after listening to his words.

Moreover, Xiao Xilin's eyes were clear, and he didn't want to flatter him. With a look of recollection on his face, I'm afraid he thinks of the Xiao family who has been dead for many years.

"The younger generation is to be feared, and others admire it." With the wooden chair sent by Xiao Jiawei, father Xi sat down without saying a word: "if you can't wait, go to the front yard and wait. The old man of the miscellaneous family is still healthy. He was born in a poor family when he was a child. The courtyard of the Marquis is much better than the one of the miscellaneous family who lived in that year. "

Xi Gonggong left. How dare an guohou go to the front hall and wait for tea and snacks by his servant girl alone?

He can only sit on the wooden chair with a black face, pondering Xiao Xilin's tossing for a long time, and it's estimated that he can't pry open his servant's mouth!

It's really reckless. Now father-in-law Xi is helping Xiao Xilin to talk. He'll be impatient later. Go back and report to the emperor, and he won't have any good fruit to eat!

Xiao Xilin is in no hurry to wait for a cabin next door to be cleaned up. Xiao Jiawei pushes a dull bodyguard in, but he stays outside.

An Guo Hou picks eyebrows, but Xiao Xilin has courage. The bodyguards of the Marquis's mansion are good at Kung Fu. If they suddenly attack him, I'm afraid that Xiao Taifu, who can't lift his hands and shoulder, can't ask what to do, and will suffer a great loss!

Unfortunately, he also understood that the guards in the house were not so stupid and would attack the Taifu of the current Dynasty.

But an guohou didn't understand, but in a quarter of an hour, the bodyguard was released with a white face, and then the next bodyguard was sent in, and he staggered back to the Chaifang with a bloodless face.

He was more and more curious. What did Xiao Xilin say to the guards inside?

Due to the fact that Xi's father-in-law is sitting firmly in his chair, an guohou can't go to eavesdrop. The emperor's side of the red man, really a full power to Taifu act, never interfere in the look.

He was in a state of consternation until the fourth bodyguard came out with an ugly face, and he couldn't sit still.

Seeing that Anguo was about to get up, Duke Xi gave him a look: "if you are busy, just go first. It's the same to wait here. There's no need to accompany you. "

He stopped himself to inquire. Marquis an could only sit down again and said with a smile, "if you are not there, you just see that Taifu moves quickly. In less than half an hour, you asked four bodyguards, and you don't know what happened? If these people are picky, I won't be the first to let them go! "

Father Xi was so funny that he said coolly, "the Marquis was not worried about the long waiting of the miscellaneous family, but the Taifu stepped up the interrogation. How come now the Marquis is not satisfied?"

An guohou choked and was speechless.He is racking his brains to find out how to get close to Xi Gonggong, who is hard to get out of the palace, when he sees that Xiao Xilin has finished interrogating all the bodyguards. He slowly rolls up a piece of paper in his hand and puts it in his sleeve: "the matter has been found out. Let Xi wait for a long time. I will go back to the palace and report to the emperor."

An guohou craned his neck to see what was written on the paper in Xiao Xilin's sleeve, but the Taifu didn't mean to show it to him at all. He coughed and said: "what's the matter with Taifu, let me have a look?"

Xiao Xilin said, "some of the guards are willing to tell the truth, but others are not. In that case, I don't want to make it difficult for a few people. But if I'm willing to speak, I'll promise them that I won't pass it on. I'm sorry I can't agree to the request of the marquis. "

An guohou was badly blocked and frightened. Someone spoke. Who is it?

But the bodyguards were called to question one by one. As long as they denied it, no one knew who had been pried open?

Marquis an was extremely annoyed. He thought that the guards had family members in the backyard and would be loyal to himself. He would rather die than follow. Who knows, in the twinkling of an eye, it was like slapping him.

Xiao Xilin said, it seems that he didn't feel that he had left a mess for an guohou, so he went back to the palace with Suixi.

An guohou was uneasy and paced in the backyard. In the end, I couldn't bear it. I went back to discuss with Mrs. Hou: "what do you mean by Taifu? What did you really ask?"

Mrs. Hou was very surprised and hesitated: "those people are all in Hou's house. It's impossible to betray him. I'm afraid it's Xiao who's deceiving the Marquis, so that he can make trouble for himself. "

"Madam, it's true, but I'd rather believe it than believe it. Those bodyguards can't stay." No matter what Xiao Xilin said is true or false, these bodyguards are a great hidden danger. Who knows when they will stab themselves secretly?

Mrs. Hou nodded and echoed: "unfaithful people really shouldn't stay. It's the only way to avoid future trouble. As for those people in the backyard, they should be dealt with at the same time. "

Who knows if the bodyguard is dead and others will retaliate against the Marquis?

She didn't dare to take risks. She would rather kill the wrong person than let it go.

An guohou waved his hand, indicating that Mrs. Hou was in charge of this matter. He also thought that it was just a servant. He killed a batch of people, and then picked another batch: "be careful, don't let people see the clue. Especially Xiao, don't take hold of Hou's house again. "

"Don't worry, marquis. I will do it properly." Mrs. Hou called her confidant and gave a few orders in a low voice.

The latter understood and retreated quietly.

It's not difficult to kill people, but it's not easy to kill people in silence.

Those bodyguards are going to die, but all of a sudden they are dead. It's really suspicious.

What if they think they haven't taken good care of their master and put Ji Qingrou in danger and commit suicide?

The corners of Mrs. Hou's mouth curved slightly, showing a smile that she was sure of winning.

She did not believe that the bodyguards would not listen to their own words and die generously in order to save their families' lives.

The son of his family in the backyard heard that the bodyguard was dead, and he had nothing to love. It's not uncommon for a large family to follow the lonely road of huangquan after they lost their pillars.

All sounds of the Marquis's choice are quiet. She tells hongluan to guard Ji Qingrou all night long. When she hears that the granddaughter is better, she goes to sleep.

Unfortunately, when she was about to fall asleep, she saw her confidant come back in a panic: "madam, no, those bodyguards have escaped!"

Mrs. Hou sat up and said, "what's the matter? There are other guards around the Chaifang. Why did they let people go?"

"The maidservant went to the Chaifang secretly to finish talking to the bodyguard and put down the dagger. Who knows that they were suddenly in trouble and knocked the maidservant unconscious, then put down the bodyguard outside and escaped from the house!" The confidant's hair was messy, her face was flustered, and she was obviously in shock.

If those bodyguards were cruel and stabbed themselves before they left, she would have died long ago.

If it wasn't for the fear that Mrs. hou would blame her, Mammy's legs would be weak and she would still be in the Chaifang for the rest of her life.

Mrs. Hou hated them secretly and said in a low voice, "someone must have met them. Send someone to chase them quickly. Be careful. Don't disturb the others

Before she let her confidant go to order a bodyguard to catch up with her, another servant girl in the backyard came to report in a panic: "madam, the family members of those bodyguards are locked up in one place. Just now the servant girl heard the sound and saw that there was no one in the room."

These big living people are missing. The maid is scared to death.

A quarter of an hour ago, she went to have a look. Everyone was still there. Why did she run away in a twinkling of an eye?

They are all maids, but they don't know how to escape. The Marquis's mansion is heavily guarded. Where did they get away from?
