Chapter 518 The cannon fodder cousin of the hero of the imperial examination essay (40)

　　I saw that he had sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, his face was like a powdered face, his face was like a crown jade, and his appearance was better than that of Pan An.

 Co-author: Not only did he hide his skills and show weakness before, but he also changed his appearance?

Everyone was shocked: Wow! Accountant... No, Hero Sikong turns out to be so handsome!

 Xu Yin: “…”

sorry! She took back what she just said, Jade Faced Shura was indeed worthy of his name!

 “Farewell!” Sikong cupped his hands towards her, picked up the three corpses on the ground, and was about to leave.

Xu Yin suddenly remembered something: "Wait a minute, were you the one who rescued us in the other courtyard two years ago?"

 “Uh-huh.” Sikong snorted and did not deny it.

Xu Yin asked curiously: "Who did you learn your kung fu from?"

 Looking at her, she was ready to move.

If she had such a handsome and superb martial arts, coupled with her own divine power, would she still worry about her life being insecure?

"You want to learn?" Sikong Jun raised his eyebrows and looked her over. "I'm afraid it won't work. You are already past the best age for practicing martial arts, and with your weak bones, it will be difficult for you to become a great person."

　　　…”

 You can retreat! Thanks!

After Sikong left, Wang Huyuan and his men cleaned the main courtyard of Wanhua Villa inside and out to prevent the girl from getting sick.

 In fact, Xu Yin's mind was not at all on the three people in the world who were solved by Sikong. She had been wondering about the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes that Sikong did not want to reveal.

 Speaking of which, the mastermind behind the scenes is probably the real culprit who sent his parents to Jiuquan.

I always thought they were bandits. When I went to pay homage to my parents, I was informed at their graves that the bandits had been eradicated by the government, and my parents could rest in peace.

Now we know that the bandits were just scapegoats, and the real culprits are still at large.

If we don’t find out, how can we let our parents rest in peace!

There is also the old housekeeper, who has been blaming himself for this matter.

 I always feel that it was because he picked up a child that the master and his wife died.

So after Sikong left, he fell seriously ill and his mental state was not very good. He completely lost the energy he had when picking lotus pods.

Xu Yin really wanted Xu Kui to come back and take a look at the housekeeper. A heart ailment requires heart medicine.

 The housekeeper's illness is caused by deep guilt and self-blame for the master and his wife, as well as longing for his adopted son.

Xu Yin came to visit the housekeeper, held his old hand that looked like old tree bark, and asked: "Do you want to see Xu Kui? How about, after you recover, I will take you to the capital to see him?"

The old housekeeper perked up at first, then shook his head, and his eyes dimmed: "So what if I meet him? His father is Prince Rui, and his home is Prince Rui's Mansion. He can find his relatives and return to his own home, old slave It’s too late to be happy for him. But, girl, this old slave feels uncomfortable, so uncomfortable! The master and his wife were killed by this slave..."

 Xu Yin felt unspeakably uncomfortable when she saw him bursting into tears.

I want to say something, but I don’t know where to start.

 At this time, any words of comfort seem so pale.

"Butler, don't do this." Zi Yuan couldn't help but say with red eyes, "It's hard for the girl to get over the matter between the master and the madam. Don't let her go back again."

 The housekeeper nodded, hurriedly wiped away his tears and wiped his nose.

 “Girl! Girl!”

Wang Huyuan shouted outside.

Xu Yin wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, walked out and asked, "What's the matter?"

 “Girl! Good news! The Seven Star Gate was flattened by Tianji Pavilion!”

Xu Yin looked confused: "...What do you mean?"

"The three people who almost hurt the girl that day were from the Seven Star Sect, as were the assassins who were lurking in our house and in the village. If I guessed right, the bandits who killed the master and his wife were also from the Seven Star Sect. They were pretending to be someone else. Now that the Seven Star Sect has been taken down by Tianji Pavilion, it can be considered as a way to comfort the spirit of the master and his wife in heaven."

 Xu Yin always felt that the master of the Seven Star Sect did not seem to be the mastermind behind this incident.

But she couldn't figure it out for the time being, so she planned to go back to Xujiacun and talk about this matter in front of the graves of her original parents.

 “Girl, I will go with you.”

 The old housekeeper insisted on going, so Xu Yin took him along.

It was getting dark when she arrived in Xujia Village. She asked Wang Huyuan to prepare some incense and tributes, and planned to worship on the mountain the next morning. After Xu Kui left, Xu Yin felt that she had lost both her left and right arms.

Sikong also left, and the accountant in the mansion had to be recruited again.

This time two capable people ran away, and she was the one who was tired!

Fortunately, Xu Cai, who was led by Xu Kui, is not as clever as Xu Kui, but he is diligent, conscientious, and methodical. Now he is in charge of the affairs of the wine shop, and the fragrance shop is first managed by the village chief.

But the village chief still had to be busy with matters on several hills, and he didn't know much about fragrance. He was worried about leaving it to an outsider, Xu Yin. This time, she discussed with Zi Yuan and Hong Qian that one of them should stay in Xu Yin. Jiacun manages the fragrance shop.

The two maids were very conflicted. They wanted to stay with the girl, but also wanted to do things for her. In the end, Xu Yin simply asked them to play rock, paper, scissors, "Whoever wins, who stays."

 In the end, Ziyuan won.

 She knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Yin: "Thank you for the promotion, girl!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. You might be so busy that you won't even have time to drink water." Xu Yin said with a smile, then looked at Hong Qian, "Hong Qian, don't be anxious, wait until the greenhouse vegetables are scaled up. Let’s open a four-season vegetable shop, and you will be the shopkeeper.”

 “Thank you, girl!”

 No words all night.

 The next day, when it was a little dark, the village chief’s son ran back from the county seat covered in morning dew to report:

 “Oh my mother! Something big has happened!”

"Dad! Dad! The sky has changed! The Holy Emperor has passed away, and the one who succeeds is not the prince, but Prince Rui! The new emperor has ascended the throne, shows compassion for all people, and says he will reduce taxes for us!"

 Hearing about the tax cut, all the early risers in the village screamed with excitement.

　　　…”

Xu Yin suddenly felt blessed. She seemed to have guessed who the mastermind behind Sikong Shuo was.

In the original text, the Holy Emperor took over power through the male protagonist, and what he took over was not just the power held by the old ministers, but also part of the military power in the hands of King Rui.

At that time, a book friend seemed to have complained: If King Rui had a son, and these old ministers would follow King Rui to rebel, what would happen to the emperor?

Thinking about it now, the deceased emperor wouldn't have harmed Prince Rui's heirs because he was afraid of the relationship between Prince Rui and those old ministers, and the power they held, to prevent them from joining forces to rebel?

After paying homage to the elders and returning to the other courtyard to rest, Xu Yin was still thinking about this matter.



The children of King Rui's concubines were either daughters, or they died before the age of seven. Hiss - the deeper you analyze, the colder your back becomes.

 Suddenly a chuckle came from the beam.

The hairs all over Xu Yin’s body stood up.

She raised her head and saw the person on the beam clearly. She was so angry that she lost her mind. She picked up the flower vase on the table and threw it towards the beam.

 “You really love being a gentleman so much?”

 Nearly gave her a heart attack.

“Hey, you are so strong!” Sikong easily caught the vase, jumped down from the beam, and landed lightly on the ground.

"I was worried that the girl would scare me out of my wits, so I came here to give you some courage."

He put the vase back on the table, sat down, and glanced at the table with a look of disgust in his eyes:

“Why are they all sweet snacks? Didn’t you order peanuts or fried soybeans?”

 Xu Yin: “…”

 What is your sister’s boudoir? Restaurant? We even started ordering food!

“I came back with good intentions to solve the riddle for you, and you’re just treating me like this?” Sikong lowered Nunu’s vase, then raised his lips and smiled, “Don’t you want to know the truth?”

 “I’m pretty close to guessing.”

 Having said it all, Xu Yin still went out for a trip.

She wanted to take a nap just now, but today she got up early because she had to pay homage, and she also learned the shocking news about the change of dynasty. She was a little too busy with her brain. When she came back from sweeping the tomb, her temples were sore and swollen, so she didn't stay in the room. Maid.

Hong Qian came in to deliver tea as instructed by the girl. When she saw Sikong, she was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tea tray.

 Put out the refreshments, and immediately call Wang Huyuan after exiting.

“Master Sikong is in the girl’s room?” Wang Huyuan was also surprised when he heard this, “No one from the nursing team noticed?”

Then he scratched his head and said with an honest smile: "That's right! Unless Great Master Sikong wants us to discover it, otherwise, with his attainments, we will never be able to discover it."

Hong Qian: “…”

I called you to ask you to quickly organize people to protect the girl, but you are here to praise the other person's power?
