Zhou Tong took out her dagger with gold and jade inlay.

Xiao Ren hurriedly said, "What if there is really a will inside, don't cut it, just use scissors."

Zhou Tong raised the dagger in his hand as if showing off: "It's because this thing is precious that I use my dagger. Don't you think it's very suitable?"

Xiao Ren thought about it, except for using it to cut off the imperial edict, it seemed that this dagger had no other use. At least he had never seen Zhou Tong use this to kill people.

The swaddle is made of cotton. Take out the cotton inside and turn the fabric over. A piece of yellow silk that is stretched on top with fine and dense stitches.

Zhou Tong and Xiao Ren looked at each other and smiled, but both saw bitterness and helplessness in each other's smiles.

The nine tribes of the Shen family have nearly a thousand lives, including the family of King Yu, King Gui, the father and son of King Yan, the wife and concubines who committed suicide in the mansion, the two sons of the King of Qin, and the old friends of the disciples who were implicated by them, such as the Mei family.

And Xiao Changhou!

The two of them just watched, but after a long time, they didn't reach for it.

This yellow silk is stained with too much blood, and even the two of them, who are full of blood, have to muster up the courage to touch them.

"Xiao Qi, is it that good to sit on that chair?" Zhou Tong murmured.

Xiao Ren sighed: "I don't know, from ancient times to the present, people all want to sit on it."

"Emperor Taizu took the world and everyone was home to his heart, but in the end, he couldn't even protect his children and grandchildren. But look at the old man in the village, who worked hard for half his life to earn dozens of acres of land. As long as the children and grandchildren did not have the bad habit of eating, drinking, gambling, these dozens of acres of land could make them have food and clothing and safe until they were old. So what's the best thing to be an emperor?" Zhou Tong finally reached out and folded the swabbing cloth that had been dismantled.

Xiao Ren thought for a while and said, "Well, yes, I don't think it's meaningful either. But like the prince and Zhou Zheng, they are different. Perhaps at first, they did not look at that position, just like the King of Yan. If he was alive, he saw his eldest son die tragically, and his beloved woman and child's life and death were uncertain. The territory he and his subordinates used blood were stained by Xiao Xiao, would he also wave his troops like the prince?"

The room was quiet, and after a long time, Zhou Tong smiled slightly: "If my father was still there, he would definitely do this. If it were me, I would, and Ah Yu would, maybe, or maybe not. Xiaoqi, you are right. Everyone stands in a different angle, what he sees, hears, and feels different. I did not see the blood shed by my father and elder brother with my own eyes. I only saw my own life and death, so I want to live a good life and death. I saw Ah Mother's collapse after losing her husband and children, so I want to help her take revenge, but I fulfill my wish; I saw Ah Yu and her two sisters suffered since childhood, so I want to make them safe and happy. So, Xiaoqi, you are right, each of us is just ourselves, not others, and we cannot replace others, and we cannot impose our will on others. As long as that person does what he is right for him, that is what he should do."

Xiao Ren stretched out his arms, hugged Zhou Tong in his arms, and whispered in her ear: "For me, marrying Tongtong is the right thing, this is what I should do."

Zhou Tong laughed loudly, her Xiaoqi became more and more sweet, well, she liked to listen.

...

The capital city, the Duke of Dingguo Mansion.

Xiao Yi frowned and was hearing the prince's wife complaining about the price of rice soaring. He usually didn't care about trivial matters at home. Today, he accidentally heard the mother in charge report to his wife about the purchase of the business. He then paid attention. As expected, the mother in charge had all left, and asked someone to invite the prince's wife to come. After asking, he found out that the rice prices in the capital have risen for two rounds in recent days. Not only grain, oil, rice, flour, dry firewood, fruits, meat and eggs, but also fresh foods. Nothing that can be eaten into his mouth will not increase, and medicinal supplements are priced at one price a day.

Xiao Yi asked someone to go out to inquire again, and the question was shocked. In contrast to the increase in the prices of food, rice, oil and salt, the housing prices in the capital, as well as the land prices near the capital, plummeted.

Many wealthy families went south to sell houses and land, and those who were more courageous were heading northwest. Who knew whether the fields and houses left in the capital were broken or occupied by others when they came back. It would be more reassuring to exchange them for real money and silver.

"Criminal, you may not guess that the old man Dong Xian, who retired the previous year, bought the five-entry mansion in his house. His old man spent 6,000 taels to buy it. When Lord Dong first retired, he thought about returning home. At that time, someone wanted to pay 10,000 taels to buy his house. At that time, Lord Dong was thinking about marrying a grandson wife in the capital, so he didn't sell it. As a result, he only sold 3,000 taels now. In this way, he also bought a whole set of Huanglihua family houses." Ning Shiyi said.

Xiao Yi's brows frowned even tighter, and he asked, "Dong Xian? The one who entrusted Huang San's escort agency to escort?"

Ning Shiyi hurriedly said, "Yes, it's him."

Xiao Yi said: "I heard that he hired three escort agencies to escort him when he left Beijing. It seems that the position of the Imperial College Priest is really good. A big house worth 3,000 taels is not considered a loss for him. By the way, he has been away for a few days. If someone asks where he has gone."

Early the next morning, Xiao Yi was having breakfast, and Ning Shiyi ran in. When the prince's wife saw him, she quickly asked someone to put a pair of bowls and chopsticks for him, saying that she was full, and left a maid to serve him. She went to the old lady's house by herself.

Ning Shiyi didn't care about eating and said to Xiao Yi: "The Huang San Escort Agency had an accident!"

"Say." Xiao Yi picked up a meat saucepan, broke a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"They were on land. Two days ago, the entire army was wiped out in the Black Valley. All their property was looted and no living mouth was left." After Ning Shiyi said that, he also picked up a meat-foaming slaughter and took a bite.

Xiao Yi did not speak, and finished eating slowly, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a veil, and then he slowly said: "I remember that the Huang San Escort Agency was escorting all the books and poems of Lord Dong. It seems that those robbers are still elegant thieves, haha."

Ning Shiyi grinned, Ya thief? Ya thief didn't even leave a single survivor?

You should know that there are rules in the world of martial arts. Huang San and the others are all escorts. Whoever can start an escort agency is not a escort, and who has never visited the dock? Since you dare to take this escort, it is to ensure that all the big and small thieves on this road can buy it. If you don’t stay, all of them will die. There are not many people in the world.

"This is not in line with the rules of the world." Ning Shiyi said.

Xiao Yi said: "What are the rules of the world? What are the rules of the world? Killing is their rules."

There was a saying that he didn't say, and he almost knew who did it.

The group of dead soldiers under Master Ji Si’s command!

"Is there a woman in the corpse?" Xiao Yi asked.

"No, the people who died were those who came out of Beijing, the escorts, the chauffeurs, Lifu," said Ning Shiyi.
