Chapter 225

Xia Yi listened to what Qiao an said suspiciously, and was very curious about what the family secret he said was, and why did he decide that the secret would kill the whole family?

But since he said it was a secret of his family, it was not easy for her to ask him.

He could only comfort him and said with a smile, "how could it be as serious as you said? I think you are just worrying. How can the Qiao family be uprooted so easily after they have been operating in Shaoxing for so many years? "

Then she patted Joanne on the shoulder with a smile and turned to leave.

"If I told you that my family was engaged in a major rebellion, would you think so?" In a hurry, Joan shouts out to Xiayi regardless.

Treason?

These two words, but let Xiayi surprised a cold sweat.

She has been with Xiao Ruixuan for so many years. She knows better than anyone what the shadowless Pavilion is like.

"How do you know they're rebelling?" Xiayi lowered her voice, and there was a trace of imperceptible cruelty in her words.

If it was Joan who followed them all the way to see what happened, and deliberately did it

Well, for the sake of the safety of the shadowless Pavilion, Joan can't stay!

She silently compared her hand to the shape of a knife. As long as Joanne said any word that was not conducive to the shadowless Pavilion, she would take the knife and understand his life here.

But Joanne didn't feel it at the moment.

He looked into Xiayi's eyes and said in a low voice: "a year ago, by chance, I found that my people were helping king an in the north to rebel!"

"An... An Wang..." Xia Yi took back her sword palm, "how do you know it's an Wang?"

Qiao an said with a self mocking smile: "once I hid in my father's study and wanted to secretly take an ancient book to show off in front of my classmates, but I didn't want to be blocked in the study by my father who came back suddenly."

"In order not to be found by my father, I hid in my study and begged them to leave soon, but I didn't want to hear what I didn't want to hear in my life." There was a happy and sad expression on Qiao an's face, "they are not only helping king an to make trouble, but also casting fake money in private, in order to restrain huge wealth..."

Hearing this, Xiayi was not surprised.

Now the world seems calm, but in fact it is already in danger.

As early as seven or eight years ago, there were successive droughts and floods in Guanzhong, and there were almost no harvests for three or four years. Local officials turned to the imperial court for help, but turned a blind eye to it. A large number of refugees fled everywhere.

In order to maintain the stability of the areas under their rule, the places without disaster had to collect and dispatch more militia and labor, and levy heavier taxes on the villagers. The overburdened people have already complained about this.

But the officials always report the good news but not the bad. The court is still singing and dancing. Even if there is a small local riot, it will be suppressed in time.

In such a situation, the three princes guarding the border were ready to move, but no one dared to take the lead and be the first rebel.

But in private, they are all fighting against each other. What they are afraid of is that war is imminent.

Over the years, shadowless pavilion has been quietly operating all over the country, in order to help shiziye collect all kinds of information, and then pass it back to the king of Jin in the northwest! But this kind of treacherous words, Xiayi in any case also dare not say with Qiao an.

So she looked at Joanne and said, "Why are you telling me that? Are you not afraid that I will go to the court and let your Qiao family be seized in an instant? "

"You can tell me," Joanne said with a smile. "I'm tired of living like this for a long time."

"You said that!" Xia Yi looked at him and said, "what you said to me just now, dare you say it again to our young cabinet leader?"

Accompanied by Xiao Ruixuan, Jiang Wan turns around slightly on the wharf and plans to return to the Wangs' house.

But just as they passed the seagoing ship full of foreigners, Xiao Ruixuan suddenly stopped and looked at the ship from a distance, unable to move.

Jiang Wan felt a little strange, so she followed Xiao Ruixuan's eyes.

It's OK not to look, but after looking at it, Jiang Wan almost didn't react quickly, so she spread her hand and stepped in front of Xiao Ruixuan.

Because on the deck of the ship, there was a red haired foreigner with a firearm, and the muzzle of the firearm was aimed at Xiao Ruixuan.

Thinking that the man might shoot and hurt Xiao Ruixuan, Jiang Wan gets in front of Xiao Ruixuan. There are no bulletproof vests in this era! The most effective way is to make a meat shield.

At the moment, however, Xiao Ruixuan seemed to be settled. Looking at the direction of the ship's deck, his thoughts returned to the sound of a familiar and strange loud noise in his last life.

The loud noise is familiar because it is like the sound of setting off firecrackers; The reason why he said the loud noise was strange was that he had never thought that he could make such a sound even in an iron shot.

After that sound, he felt something pierced his chest, and the red blood gushed out like a spring, which could not be stopped.

Then he felt lighter and lighter, and his body slowly fell into a pool of blood.

He was surprised to see all that, but found that his brother, Xiao Ruixi, the son of Princess Jin, was coming out from a corner with an iron tube like thing. Looking at his immobile body, he showed a smile of victory.

Later, he woke up in his present body, as if all he had seen before was just a nightmare he had ever had.

But when the dream "reappeared" again and again in reality, he finally realized that he had not had a dream, but had really experienced those things. Then God saw that he was pitiful and let him be reborn.

Realizing that this life is a rebirth, he finds that he has too many things to do! I have to put off looking for Jiang Wan again and again.

And now, just a short distance away from him, he saw the thing that killed him in the last life. How could it not arouse his interest?

The man on the boat fiddling with the firearm also found something strange.

Seeing the woman on the dock standing in front of the man, he realized that his gun was aimed at them.

Shyly, he put away his gun, turned around and left the deck.

Seeing this, Jiang Wan was relieved. She patted her chest and took a deep breath. But she heard Xiao Ruixuan ask after her: "do you know that thing just now?"
