When Luo Jinyan and Luo Junyao stepped into the small courtyard, they saw Wei Changting holding Xiao Hong's hair in one hand, almost lifting him off the ground.
It's no wonder Xiao Hong screamed when someone grabbed his hair and lifted him up.
However, this was not a lynching, and the pace of the two people immediately slowed down. Wei Changting also saw the two of them, turned around and smiled at them: "You two came quickly enough, why didn't the prince come?"
Luo Junyao rolled his eyes and said: "How big of a deal does A Yan have to come in person? If outsiders knew about it, they would think that the Xiao family had been wiped out."
Wei Changting smiled and said: "Princess, don't tell me, the Xiao family is also very lucky. Otherwise, it is really possible that this kid will wipe out the family."
"..." Luo Junyao stared at Xiao Hong in shock, what kind of hatred is there?
Xiao Hong was thrown onto the snow by Wei Changting, and his whole face was buried directly in the snow. He groaned before struggling to get up, still glaring at Wei Changting with gloomy eyes.
Unfortunately, Wei Changting was not from the Xiao family, so naturally he would not tolerate him, so he kicked him back again.
Luo Junyao walked over and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever had a problem with him?"
Wei Changting said leisurely: "No, this prince hates this kind of eating and drinking. Does the princess know what he originally wanted to do?"
Luo Junyao acted like he was all ears, and Wei Changting sneered and stared at Xiao Hong on the ground and said: "He originally planned to give Xiao Chen a chronic poison, and then go back to Yangxin to poison all the Xiao family members, young and old, and get involved in the Xiao family."
All his property fled to southern Xinjiang."
"..." The courtyard was quiet for a while, and even Luo Jinyan seemed to be shocked and speechless.
Luo Junyao squatted next to Xiao Hong, pulled him out of the snow, and asked: "What happened to you during this time, please tell me?"
Naturally, Xiao Hong would not tell her, but just sneered.
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "That's not right. Not long ago, you were just a fool. Why did you suddenly become so crazy?" How dare you use the power of the eldest daughter of the Su family to blackmail others into accepting him?
Lover, what is it if you are not stupid?
But on the other hand, Xiao Hong would do this to prove that he has not given up on his future. He is using what he thinks is right to make up for his previous mistakes, although the innocent Su Rui has to bear the consequences.
A person who is still thinking about his future will not consider killing his brother, or even poisoning his whole family and then running away.
Xiao Hong gritted his teeth and said: "I am a king and a loser. If I fall into your hands, it will be unlucky for me. I will kill or behead you as you please!"
As soon as these words came out, Wei Changting next to him was a little happy.
Prince Wei smiled and said: "Young Master Xiao is quite brave. Princess, Mr. Luo, why don't you leave the person to me? Let Third Young Master Xiao feel the iron-blooded methods of our Suppressing Army?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone clearly saw Xiao Hong trembling while sitting in the snow.
Luo Junyao couldn't help but said: "Prince Wei, you are a civil servant now, so be more polite."
Wei Changting touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed, "Didn't you forget it?"
Luo Jinyan was not in the mood to listen to the two of them playing tricks. He walked over and stared at Xiao Hong condescendingly, and asked in a deep voice: "Who asked you to poison Xiao Hong?"
Xiao Hong gritted his teeth and remained silent. Luo Jinyan thought about it and changed the question, "Aside from Khenpo La's people, who else have you had contact with? What did he say to you?"
Xiao Hong still refused to answer. Luo Jinyan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "No matter what he told you, didn't you ever think that he was lying to you?"
Xiao Hong lowered his face, and no one around him could clearly see the emotions in his eyes.
Luo Jinyan snorted lightly, "Khenpo La came here for the Xiao family's jade pendant. We are both from southern Xinjiang. What do you think that person is here for?"
While talking, Luo Jinyan took the jade pendant in his hand again and said, "Now that the thing is in my hand, do you think he will still care about you?"
After saying this, Luo Jinyan seemed to have lost interest in Xiao Hong. He turned his head and said to Luo next to him: "Take him away and see what else he can ask. If you really can't ask, send him to the prison."
Luo Yiyi nodded and said yes, then hesitated and said: "Master, the Xiao family..."
Luo Jinyan interrupted him, "Murdering a court official is a capital crime, and the Xiao family's opinion is not important."
It is true that the government cannot control everything. There are some things that the people do not complain to the officials. However, the murder of a court official is not an example of this. Even if the Xiao family is unwilling to pursue the case, Xiao Hong cannot escape the responsibility.
"He's just a fool who was taken advantage of. Just ask if you can, and forget it." Luo Jinyan's voice was a bit careless, but it seemed to hit Xiao Hong's pain point.
He suddenly raised his head and stared at Luo Jinyan fiercely.
Luo Jinyan had already turned around to talk to Luo Junyao. Luo Yi stepped forward and picked up Xiao Hong, who was unable to struggle, and walked out.
Xiao Chen's room was crowded with people at this time. Mrs. Xiao was lying in bed and still didn't know what happened between her eldest son and second son. Mr. Xiao and Xiao Chen's wife stood beside the bed, looking solemn and nervous.
He looked at the unconscious person on the bed.
Qin Yao'er sat beside the bed, holding a slender silver needle in her hand. She put the silver needle in front of her and looked at it carefully. She lowered her head and smelled it, and then looked at Mr. Xiao and the young master who were standing aside.
The lady said: "It shouldn't be a big problem. Just drink the medicine a few times and the poison will be all resolved."
The eldest young lady of the Xiao family breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Thank you very much, miss. I wonder...when will my husband wake up?"
Qin Yao'er looked back at Xiao Chen and said: "Don't worry, he will wake up soon. But... this poison is still quite powerful. You'd better find a doctor to recuperate his body afterwards. I don't understand this aspect.
It’s up to you to figure it out.”
"Yes, we have remembered, thank you very much, girl." The eldest young lady thanked her repeatedly with red eyes. She knew that if it weren't for the young girl in front of her, her husband would probably be dead right now.
Originally, she was worried about her husband's safety and didn't think too much about it, but now she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the young lady remembered the culprit of her husband's current appearance.
Although he didn't show it due to the presence of outsiders, there was a hint of anger and hatred in his eyes.
Xiao Chen had just opened his eyes when Luo Jinyan and Luo Jun came in. Although he was awake for a while, he could not speak.
Everyone looked at Qin Yao'er. Qin Yao'er was sitting at the window playing with his medicine bottle. He said as if it had nothing to do with him: "He was poisoned after inhaling the poison gas. The poison has not been completely eliminated yet. Naturally, he said
He is speechless. Not only is he unable to speak now, he may also be unable to smell. He will be fine in a few days."
Everyone looked at Xiao Chen, who nodded slightly and said that he really couldn't smell anything now.
Qin Yao'er clicked her tongue, shook her head and said: "This poison is quite powerful, but it is not odorless. The person who poisoned it may be afraid of being discovered, or may be afraid that the poison will spread too quickly.
The amount is relatively small. Otherwise... Daluo Immortal wouldn't be able to save him. Fortunately, I arrived in time, and his luck is still..."
"Ahem." Luo Junyao coughed slightly and interrupted Qin Yao'er's words, "Since it's poisonous gas, why wasn't Xiao Hong poisoned? Is there an antidote on him?"
Qin Yaoer said: "There is indeed a medicine to prevent this kind of poison, but it is only effective before poisoning. Once the poisonous gas enters the body, it is useless."
Luo Junyao was a little disappointed and looked sideways at Luo Jinyan.
Not only was Xiao Chen unable to speak now, he seemed to be struggling to even move, and he was obviously unable to hold a conversation.
Luo Jinyan nodded slightly, turned his head and said to Mr. Xiao: "Now that Mr. Xiao is awake, we will go back first. No need to disturb us today."
Mr. Xiao shook his head with a bit of a wry smile and personally sent everyone out.
After leaving Xiao Chan's courtyard, Mr. Xiao couldn't help but ask: "General Luo, my... traitor, he..."
Luo Jinyan looked solemn and said: "Mr. Xiao must also know what the crime of poisoning officials of the government and killing his brother is. In addition, there are some connections between the son and the people in southern Xinjiang that we don't know about. I'm afraid I can't let you see him now."
"Southern Xinjiang..." Mr. Xiao frowned slightly, "How could he be involved with people from southern Xinjiang?"
"In recent years, has anyone in the Xiao family had contact with people from southern Xinjiang?" Luo Jinyan asked.
Mr. Xiao shook his head and was slightly startled after a moment as if he remembered something.
Both Luo Junyao and Luo Jinyan saw the change in his expression for a moment, and they quickly exchanged glances. Luo Jinyan said, "What did Mr. Xiao think of?"
Mr. Xiao shook his head and said: "No, the Xiao family has lived in Yangxin for a long time and has almost never had contact with foreigners. How can we have any contact with people from southern Xinjiang? I just vaguely remembered... About seventeen or eight years ago, there were several people in southern Xinjiang.
People have been to the Xiao family, but they did not stay. They only saw their father once and then left. My father said that those people wanted to send their children to Xueyang Academy to study, but Xueyang Academy had never accepted foreigners and rejected them.
Those people never came to visit me again after that, and my father passed away half a year later. After that, no one from southern Xinjiang came to visit the Xiao family anymore, so I forgot about it."
After saying this, Mr. Xiao felt something was wrong and shook his head: "Ah Hong was less than two years old at that time, what could it have to do with him? Moreover, I remember that although those people at that time were dressed as people from southern Xinjiang, they were polite and polite.
It doesn't look like barbarians who don't know etiquette, nor does it look like..."
It's not like Mr. Xiao can't explain it for a moment. Although he has never experienced any major events in his life, he is still the head of the family after all. He doesn't know that knowing people knows their faces but not their hearts.
Luo Jinyan looked as usual, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, and say goodbye."
Mr. Xiao didn't say much. He shook his head and said, "It's the Xiao family that caused trouble for the prince, princess and General Luo. Please go away slowly."
