Afterwards, Ling Xiao returned to the Tao family's courtyard. Sanlang and Wulang had already returned, and he didn't have a very good impression of the people in the Hou Mansion.
The people in the Hou Mansion have a mysterious self-confidence, and they think that their brothers want to keep the Hou Mansion, which is a bit annoying to them.
Ling Xiao told them that there was no need to go there anymore. Sanlang and the others suddenly became happy. The behavior of the people in the Hou Mansion was really disgusting.
As a Kung Fu scholar who has also practiced riding and shooting, he naturally has a rather arrogant temperament. If it weren't for my sister, they would want to beat people up.
They were still planning to complain in a roundabout way, but they found that their sister didn't care about the Hou Mansion at all. This discovery made the two of them suddenly become very happy.
After sending them to rest, Ling Xiao waited for the night to get late and then took A Wu outside. He made some preparations before going out one by one, so as not to notice the presence of outsiders.
The two of them ran like the wind along the way. Ling Xiao finally regained her skills after passing through for several years. When she ran fast on the walls and roofs of the shop, she had the idea of looking up to the sky and screaming.
But after considering the actual situation, Ling Xiao gave up this kind of whistling sound with a little bit of secondary characteristics. She dared to do it, but it might delay today's events, and the entire capital would be disturbed. Maybe the emperor would
Let someone check what's going on.
There is no need to burn buns like this. The so-called wanting to scream is because this is the first time she is running around in this world. Under the silver moonlight, she suddenly feels intoxicated, and even feels like she is...
Just like a player in a very famous game.
At this moment, she was running fast in the capital city at night. Because she was fast enough, even if there were special patrols passing nearby, she would not notice that someone would use force to violate the ban. After all, the capital city at night is mostly black, so wearing a
The night clothes are naturally invisible.
Because it was late at night, people fell asleep one after another. Ling Xiao quickly followed the information sent by the locator to a place, which was Dingxibo Mansion, and this was a place where slaves with some status lived.
Ling Xiao tried to push the door and window, and found that there was a small window that could be opened, so he went in directly through the window without going through the door, and asked Awu to put away the locator first.
She walked quickly to the bed. Although the light was dim, she had super night vision and could tell at a glance that it was Aunt Dou lying on the bed.
After Ling Xiao glanced at the things in the room, he found that Aunt Dou was living a good life, too! The person who wanted to win over Aunt Fang to poison her would not be the kind of rough-and-tumble woman.
How to find out the real situation? Ling Xiao thought about it and took out a bracelet-like thing from his own space - the soul-suppressing ring.
She shook slightly, but no sound came out, as if there was no sound at all. This was an ineffective action.
But if someone had been watching, they would have noticed that Grandma Dou, who was asleep at the moment, frowned slightly and then relaxed her brows.
At this moment, she fell into a deeper sleep. Ling Xiao asked: "Who asked you to plot against Aunt Fang of the Tao family?"
"It's the old lady. Mrs. Tao is my old lady's enemy, so naturally I will help the old lady," she said.
Ling Xiao half-bent her body. She had suspected that the old lady did it before. This was an intuition.
After hearing what Mother Dou said, she directly asked: "So where does the old lady live?"
"Just live in Qiudan Pavilion." Aunt Dou said with some reluctance.
Ling Xiao smiled slightly when he heard this, and the soul-suppressing ring in his hand swayed again.
I saw Grandma Dou's brows frowning once again.
His whole body even twitched.
Ling Xiao sneered silently and put away the soul-suppressing ring.
After this, Aunt Dou will become seriously ill. Who made her do bad things?
After punishing Aunt Dou, Ling Xiao left Aunt Dou's room.
She quickly found a place not far away and found that it was a relatively remote place.
It feels a little strange, because as an old lady of the uncle's house, she shouldn't live in such a remote place.
Fortunately, this courtyard should be relatively large. Ling Xiao took a look and found that there was a Buddhist hall here.
Could it be that if you have done something wrong, you can get forgiveness just by burning incense? If this is the case, what kind of laws are needed?
Ling Xiao would not agree with this statement at all. After looking around in the Buddhist hall, he found that the Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva was enshrined.
After looking at some places that deserved attention, he found that there was nothing worth noting, so Ling Xiao exited and walked to the main room.
According to the rules, the old lady should live in the main room in the courtyard, so she was ready to go in. Before entering, she asked Ah Wu to make sure that no one in the entire courtyard could get up.
She pushed the door first and found that the door was closed for the safety of the people inside. She asked Ah Wu to come over and directly destroyed the things on the door. Ling Xiao opened the door and went in, followed by Ah Wu.
Without saying a word, Awu knocked out the maid who was on duty in the outer room and tied her up, and also blocked her mouth. Ling Xiao lit the oil lamp and deliberately made louder footsteps, waiting for her to hold the lamp.
After entering, I saw that the old lady had woken up.
She was still very alert in her sleep, especially when she heard Ling Xiao's deliberately aggravated voice. She sat up directly and called out: "Xia He?" When Ling Xiao entered, she felt something was wrong.
This wasn't Xia He, so who was it? She felt a little strange in her heart, what was going on? When she looked carefully, the other person's face was covered, and she knew something was wrong.
In her eyes, she saw that the man was dressed in black, and he looked like a bandit. The old lady thought clearly for a moment: Who wants to take revenge?
Ling Xiao changed her voice and became the voice of a middle-aged woman, and said slowly: "Old madam, I came uninvited this time, please forgive me."
After hearing that the voice was female, the old lady's originally very nervous mood improved a little, but she was still very vigilant.
She looked at Ling Xiao and said: "Who are you? You went to the uncle's house to look for trouble. You are just desperate for your life? Why did you come uninvited?"
"Me? An unknown person. Someone asked me to ask the old lady something. I waited for a while and then came by myself."
"What's the matter?" the old lady said. She suddenly felt a little cold, so she put on one side of her clothes.
When Ling Xiao walked to the bed, Ah Wu brought a couple of pieces over and took the oil lamp, and Ling Xiao sat down.
After she sat down, she said slowly: "So, old lady, is Aunt Dou yours?"
After hearing this, the old lady became a little nervous and couldn't help but hold her clothes tightly with her hands.
She looked at the person opposite and found that the other person's face was covered and her face could not be seen clearly.
But it can be seen that this person is a capable person, so he is a little scared.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded gently.
She said: "Yes! Aunt Dou is my person, is there anything wrong?"
At this moment, she felt her heart tingling, something serious had happened.
"Then Grandma Dou also listened to the old lady and plotted against Grandma Fang, right?"
Ling Xiao didn't intend to hide his problem, he simply said it straightforwardly.
There was a slight fluctuation in the old lady's eyes, it turned out to be the Tao family! Now things are getting a little serious.
After pondering for a while, Ling Xiao just stood there without any urging, wanting to see how he should speak.
After the old lady calmed down for a moment, she looked at her things up and down before saying, "You are the person invited by the Tao family? Right?"
"Yes! The Tao family wants to know why you did this? Or do you have some natural reason to want to kill someone?"
"Tao family? I just want the Tao family to die. It's a pity..." When she said this, the old lady closed her mouth suddenly and felt cold sweat.
A sharp knife was thrust into her ear. She had always hated the Tao family, but she still cared more about her own life and death. She always did things in secret, never thinking that one day someone would come to her door.
She has always hated the Tao family, but she also knew that the Tao family, which was still an aristocratic family, could not be shaken by her. She had been waiting for the opportunity to take action, and when Aunt Dou found out about it, she came up with a way to wait and see when she would take action.
Bundle.
Before she could ask Aunt Dou how the situation was progressing, she knew that the Tao family was in danger, which made her a little annoyed that she didn't have the strength. Later, she wanted to plot against the Tao family, but she happened to be in the filial piety period and couldn't catch it.
What.
She kept waiting and waiting, thinking that one day the entire Tao family would be wiped out. During this period of time, she finally saved some money. When she was about to bribe someone, the other family came to her door. Why didn't this faze her?
A little scared?
Now when she saw that the other party was not polite at all, she realized that the other party was not afraid of her at all. Her fingers unconsciously grasped the clothes tightly.
Ling Xiao naturally saw her guilty conscience and couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Could it be that this old woman was still thinking of plotting against the Tao family?
He said calmly: "Don't think that anyone will be able to save you now. I just need to exert a little force and you will be finished."
As she spoke, she looked at the other person's neck. It was easy to want someone to die completely.
For example, if you cut a major artery or break your neck, there is absolutely no chance of recovery.
The old lady naturally felt the other party's malice, and her face looked very ugly.
Ling Xiao said calmly: "Tell me, how did the Tao family offend you?"
"So much so that you still miss them even though they are in despair."
The old lady kept her mouth tightly shut. In her opinion, there was no need to be afraid at all.
Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, and laughed a little sinisterly.
To the old lady, it sounded like the cry of a night owl, and to her, it sounded a little frightening.
Then she remembered that the people sitting there were not her subordinates at all, she was just thinking about how to survive.
I saw Ling Xiao hiding in the darkness, feeling indescribably eerie, and her voice was one of those very sharp ones.
"I've always wanted to know when someone will tell the truth? I also want to see how long some people last under torture."
She paused for a moment when she said this, and the old lady felt a deep malice coming from her, and saw that the other party's eyes were somewhat substantial.
Ling Xiao deliberately said in a sharp voice: "For example, put a person in a steamer, light a fire underneath, and see how long she can hold on, and see what lies she dares to say in order to get away with it."
When the old lady heard this, she almost peed. When she saw the right Ling Xiao looking at her indifferently, the old lady felt that this man seemed to have crawled out from the depths of the dungeon. She finally felt frightened. She found that she didn't want to
die.
If she died early, she would have to see the old Buxiu again. Anyway, with her first wife here, it would be better for her step-sibling to live for a few more years. After swallowing a sip of saliva, she said: "Actually, the rest of the Tao family and I
People have no connection.”
When he said this, Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and said: "Old madam, what you said is wrong. What do you mean by no connection? I only know that you sent Aunt Dou to bribe Aunt Fang of Tao Erlang's family and asked the slave who betrayed his master to surrender.
Poison, if this matter comes out, the reputation of Ding Xibo Mansion will be ruined."
"Others don't know if the old lady has any grievances. They only say that the Tao family's family tradition is not very good. Do you think so? Old lady?" She observed silently as she spoke, and saw the old lady startled. She felt that she
Somewhat uncomfortable.
She previously thought that this person was a person sent by the Tao family, and that there might be a monetary transaction with the Tao family, but now she discovered that he might be the most important loyal servant of the Tao family, and he was here to handle things.
Naturally, Ling Xiao saw the change in the other party and said slowly: "Perhaps in the eyes of the old lady, this is the fate that the Tao family brought upon themselves. Am I right?"
The old lady looked at her with squinted eyes. For a moment, she couldn't remember the appearance of the person in front of her who basically only showed his eyes and nostrils.
She suddenly started laughing until she was out of breath. Ling Xiao just sat quietly, watching her laugh without making a sound to stop her.
Later, the old lady finally stopped laughing, because it was useless to laugh, and she had no one to support her, so she became a little timid.
At this moment, she was almost in despair. As a person who likes purity, the house she lived in was far away from other courtyards.
The advantage is that it is relatively clean and no one can disturb her. She liked it very much before.
But once something goes wrong, no one will notice that something is wrong, and she will stop laughing.
Looking at Ling Xiao, "It's true, the Tao family didn't agree to it at first."
"How could Liu Ailian marry into the Tao family? Isn't that fox just relying on himself to grow up?"
"You are so attractive to men that you hook up with your brother-in-law? Bitch!" She cursed at the end.
Ling Xiao was a little surprised when she heard this. The original owner's step-grandmother was named Liu Ailian. She now saw that the other party hated that person.
Thinking of this, the corner of her mouth twitched. Could it be that this old lady and Liu Ailian had any past events that she had to talk about? She was a bit gossipy at this moment.
Ling Xiao looked her up and down and said, "You and she should be about the same age, but you look like you are twenty years older than her. People who don't know may think that you are older."
When the old lady heard this, she gritted her teeth. Although she still felt scared, at this moment she wanted to curse, "No, this woman has been scheming since she was a child."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao complained: You are also very scheming. You are always thinking about revenge. You are also a scheming person. Don't pretend to be an honest person.
