Luo Junyao looked at Qin Yao'er speechlessly and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Qin Yao'er's eyes wandered around, "This..." She didn't dare to test the poison on strangers. In the past, at the border, she could secretly drug some horse bandits outside the border or lone enemy soldiers.
If she drugged an innocent person, she would be beaten to death by the regent.
Naturally, Luo Junyao didn't really expect her to answer, so he lowered his head and thought about it as soon as he asked, "I don't know... can I be on death row?" Although it is a bit inhumane, but now... there is no better way, right? There is no formality these days.
What are the conditions for conducting clinical trials?
"Absolutely!" Qin Yao'er opened her eyes excitedly. She was really curious about these centipedes. On the one hand, she really couldn't see how poisonous they were, but her experience and intuition told her that they were definitely poisonous.
.
This means that there may be a poison that is truly undetectable.
There are many strange poisons in this world, but there are not many that are truly colorless and odorless, and even fewer that even a poison master like her cannot detect.
Luo Junyao thought for a moment and said, "When Ayan comes back, may I ask for you?"
Qin Yao'er nodded repeatedly, "Princess, please hurry up. Well... isn't Mr. Luo still anxious to wait for the results?" Anyway, she didn't dare to ask the regent for a request, for fear that the regent would think she wanted to do something else.
bad thing.
Luo Junyao glanced at her but did not expose her. If the eldest brother wanted to know the purpose of these things, he did not necessarily have to investigate them himself. He could also know from other channels.
That Xiao Hong doesn't look like a tough guy.
On the other side of the Luo family, Luo Jinyan brought someone back from outside. Although it was a secret, it could not be hidden from Luo Yun.
As soon as Luo Yun came back from outside, he heard the steward reported the news. He went directly to Luo Jinyan's study without even returning to his own yard.
"Father." Luo Jinyan was giving instructions to Luo Yi and Luo Er. When he saw Luo Yun walking in, he stopped and waved for the two of them to go down first.
Luo Yun didn't stop him, he just glanced at the two of them lightly. After the two of them went out, he asked: "I heard that you arrested someone and came back?"
Luo Jinyan did not deny it, "Father, sit down and talk."
The two of them walked to the flower hall next to them and sat down. Luo Yunchao said, "Come on, what's going on?"
Luo Jinyan said: "The person I brought back is Xiao Hong, the third son of the Xiao family in Xinyang."
"Huh?" Luo Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "If I remember correctly, you just attacked him on the street not long ago?"
"Yes." Luo Jinyan said calmly.
Luo Yun looked at Luo Jinyan and said, "You said you could handle that matter, so I didn't interfere. What's going on now? It's not over yet?"
Luo Jinyan said: "No."
Luo Yun looked at him calmly, as if to say, then tell me what's going on.
Luo Jinyan did not hide anything and told the whole story.
After hearing this, Luo Yun did not rush to speak, but frowned and pondered.
I don't know how long it took before I heard Luo Yun say: "You said... you asked someone to find Xiao Hong, and accidentally discovered that he had contact with people from southern Xinjiang. Why are you looking for him? You don't want to tell me, because you have something to do with the boss of the Xiao family.
What kind of friendship? Can you help him find his younger brother?"
"..." Luo Jinyan was silent. His father seemed careless, but sometimes he was surprisingly sharp.
Luo Jinyan lowered his eyes and said, "It's because of my selfishness."
Luo Yun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this. This was the first time he heard his son say that he did things for his own selfishness. If Luo Jinxing had said this, Luo Yun might have been anxious, but when Luo Jinyan said it, he was very calm.
Luo Jinyan looked up at his father and said, "Does father know that the Su family and the Xiao family are going to break off their engagement?"
How could Luo Yun know this? But after he was stunned for a moment, he immediately understood what Luo Jinyan meant. His expression changed slightly as he looked at his son and said, "What does this... have to do with you?"
Luo Jinyan looked at his father helplessly, "Father, the Su Xie family wanted to break off their engagement, but Xiao Hong suddenly disappeared, that's all."
"It has nothing to do with you?" Luo Yun said doubtfully.
It's not that he doesn't believe in his son's character, but that Luo Jinxing's doing these things is really suspicious.
"No." Luo Jinyan said, "I didn't have time."
"..." If feelings are too late, do you really plan to destroy other people's feelings and marriages? General Luo couldn't help but have a dark look on his face.
But now that the matter has come to this point, whatever you say is nonsense.
Luo Yun was very interested in another thing, "Have you fallen in love with the girl from Taifu Su's family? I think I've met that girl before. She looks pretty good, and she has a good relationship with Yaoyao. Why didn't you follow me earlier?
Tell your mother? Your mother was worried a few days ago. When she asked you to look at her, you always said she was not in a hurry. If you don't look at her here, she won't be well, so let Jinxing look at her first."
Luo Jinyan looked at his father in silence. Luo Yun paused and didn't want to speak anymore.
Okay, the boss has always been thoughtful, but is it necessary to hide this kind of thing from his own family? Will they ruin the reputation of his future daughter-in-law? Let the family know first, and it’s okay to say it’s wrong if anything happens?
"What are you going to do with that Xiao Hong?" Luo Yun was too lazy to mind his son's business and simply talked about business.
Luo Jinyan said: "Xiao Da will come over later, I will handle it. If we encounter him, my father will just pretend that he doesn't know anything."
"Okay! You handle it."
While the two were talking, a steward came outside the door to report and asked Mr. Xiao to see him.
By the time the steward led Young Master Xiao into the study, Luo Yun was no longer there. The eldest Young Master of the Xiao family was named Xiao Chen, and he looked to be in his mid-twenties.
His appearance is similar to Xiao Hong, but compared to Xiao Hong, who looks like a young man from a scholarly family, he looks taller and taller, and his figure is more solid. He has the unique elegance and bookishness of a scholarly family.
, but because he has been working as an official for many years, he has a more dignified and open-minded personality that is different from that of a famous son.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Walking outside, others would not think that he was a famous son, and some people would believe him if they said he was a young family patriarch.
"General Luo, you're welcome. Sorry to bother you." Xiao Chan said, cupping his hands.
Luo Jinyan also stood up and returned the greeting, "Mr. Xiao, you are very polite. Please sit down."
Xiao Chen sat down and waited until the servants had served tea and left. After the two had finished drinking tea, Xiao Chen said: "My brother is naughty and has caused trouble to General Luo. I wonder if I can take him with me today."
leave?"
Luo Jinyan gently put the cup lid back on the tea cup and said slowly: "I'm afraid not."
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, "I wonder...what's wrong with my younger brother?" Xiao Chen also knew in his heart that if Xiao Hong hadn't done something he shouldn't have done, Luo Jinyan would never have taken him directly back to the Luo family.
He had heard about the conflict between Luo Jinyan and Xiao Hong before, but he did not think that Luo Jinyan would avenge his personal revenge.
Luo Jinyan said: "When I went to the west of the city to look for your younger brother, a man died, a man from southern Xinjiang."
Xiao Chan frowned slightly and looked at Luo Jinyan without saying anything.
Luo Jinyan said calmly: "Mr. Xiao must have some sources of information in the court. The regent has just ordered Lingchuan Hou to take over as the Southern Xinjiang Xuanfu envoy, and he will take office immediately. The person who has made friends with your younger brother is Khenbu La, the son of the leader of the ancient river tribe in Southern Xinjiang.
, he also gave your younger brother some interesting gadgets, and the doctor is currently researching who that person is. Moreover, this person has a good relationship with Xue Ya, so Luo has to be cautious."
Xiao Chan's heart skipped a beat. Of course he understood what Luo Jinyan meant.
If there was nothing going on in southern Xinjiang, why would the regent send Marquis Lingchuan to southern Xinjiang at this time? You know, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Under normal circumstances, foreign officials will not be appointed at the end of the year unless there is an urgent need.
Not to mention, this person might be related to Prince Ning.
Xiao Chan took a deep breath in his heart. His relationship with this younger brother was actually relatively normal.
After all, the age difference between the two of them is several years, and Xiao Chen's academic performance is smoother than that of ordinary people. When Xiao Hong was just enlightened, Xiao Chen was already preparing for the child examination, and when Xiao Hong was in his early ten years, he was already preparing for the general examination.
.
After he passed the imperial examination, he either stayed in the Hanlin Academy or was sent to work as an official. He could not return to Xinyang for several years. Moreover, this younger brother had not been close to him since he was a child. If he had not received a letter from his parents this time, he would not have been there.
Know what Xiao Hong did.
He thought that he was just dissipating in his private affairs without any sense of propriety. Who would have thought that he could provoke people from southern Xinjiang? The most taboo thing for a family like the Xiao family is to have too close relationships with clan nobles and foreign races.
If Xiao Hong was in front of him at this time, Xiao Chen might want to slap him first before talking.
After being silent for a long time, Xiao Chan sighed softly and said, "I wonder if I can see my younger brother?"
Luo Jinyan did not refuse, and nodded slightly: "Of course, if we can solve the problem of the people in southern Xinjiang, Brother Xiao can take your brother away at any time."
Xiao Chen naturally understood what he meant, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much."
Luo Jinyan nodded, stood up and said, "Brother Xiao, please."
Xiao Chen also stood up, and the two of them left the study one after another and headed towards the place where Xiao Hong was imprisoned.
