Jinzhou is originally the most prosperous city in Liaodong. According to the current situation, it is just around the corner to develop into the Shenyang of later generations.

It is very close to the capital, and it is only a few hours away by train. Li Hu's funeral affairs were handled in Jinzhou. If dignitaries in the capital wanted to express their condolences, they could only take the train.

For a time, it was hard to get a private ticket from Tongzhou to Jinzhou. Almost all the famous people in the capital had to come to Jinzhou to show their face.

The distance was too far, and Li Xiu could no longer make it to the funeral. But he still tried his best to rush back and insisted on giving his brother a ride. The telegrams he sent always said, wait for him, wait for him.

Li Hao was relatively nearby. After receiving Li Xiao's telegram, he flew back from Jinling by airship overnight.

Since Li Hao arrived, Li Xiao has been invisible.

The junior officers under Li Hu would be very nervous when they saw Li Xiao. The other officials always wanted to come over and shake hands with Li Xiao and say condolences. Even if they were not qualified, they would try their best to attract Li Xiao from a distance. of attention.

Anyway, no matter what, just let the commander see his face. If he can remember it, then this trip to Jinzhou City will not be in vain.

Ao Canghai has always had a gloomy face recently. He used to be the most heroic person in the world. This time, he didn't see anyone, not even his old subordinates.

There are vague rumors coming out, saying that this incident is related to Master Ao. Master Ao has been placed under house arrest by Li Xiao and so on!

Li Xiao did not refute the rumor, and Mr. Ao was unwilling to come out to meet people. Therefore, the rumor spread more and more widely. Without the help of radio waves, it actually spread from Jinzhou to the capital in one day.

The first thing that made Sister Qiao rush over from the capital was not to go to Li Hu's mourning hall, but to see if her man was really under house arrest.

"Nonsense, am I not doing a good job? Who dares to put me under house arrest? If you keep talking nonsense, I will beat you up." Mr. Ao took a sip from the wine bottle and began to scold Sister Qiao.

Sister Qiao still knew Mr. Ao well, and he would really take action at this time. She didn't have any tendency to seek abuse. Sister Qiao left with a wink. After going to Li Hu's mourning hall, she planned to go to Li Xiao's place to see what happened. thing.

Now she felt that the rumors might be true. Especially when she walked through the door, she found that many of the guards did not recognize her. When Sister Qiao saw Shunzi appearing, she became more determined to meet Li Xiao. No matter what, In this way, you must not let the commander misunderstand your man.

The fate of Yang Sichang has been witnessed by all the dignitaries in the capital. It was so tragic! The dignified governor of Jiangnan, a feudal official with eight offices and eight offices, actually did not even leave a whole body behind.

Moreover, it not only harms the descendants, but also harms the three clans. We don’t dare to learn the fate of Yang Sichang. We must tell the commander clearly.

Having been an official wife for a long time, Sister Qiao knows very well that in the face of power struggles, friendship becomes less reliable. Mr. Sun has been advising the Li family for twenty years, but in the end he has not ended up in Yuquan Mountain. Give Sun Zhijie a The title of division commander was assigned to Australia, where even rabbits don’t poop.

Is that where people stay?

"Hey...! I used to say that rumors spread faster than the wind, but I still didn't believe it. But things are happening right now, so you can't help but believe it. It only took a few days for rumors to reach the capital.

You said we are going to act, how long will this act last? I am a rough man and cannot do such a delicate job." Ao Canghai didn't even look at Li Xiao, and just sipped his wine.

Now he doesn't drink Wuliangye very much, and naturally he doesn't like Kweichow Moutai very much. Now his wine pot is filled with home-brewed Shaoguo. Only this wine can now be called wine by him, and the rest

They were all denounced as rubbish.

"Be patient! Bear with me for a few more days. It is estimated that by this time, the news has spread all over the country. When someone contacts you, you will know who wants to kill me." Li Xiao went to Ao Ao.

He lay down softly on the low couch next to me.

"My mother-in-law will most likely come find you in a while. You'd better go back as soon as possible. We have been together for so many years. You can just send Shunzi to tell me about this kind of thing, and you have to say it in person?"

"No way! I still think it's better to tell you face to face. If you want to harm me in this world, then I, Li Xiao, have failed too much as a human being. The ancients said that Qin Hui also had two good friends, but I actually lived

He is an independent man." Li Xiao shook his head helplessly and played a double role with Mr. Ao to expose the instigator behind the scenes. Li Xiao thought it would be better to talk to Lao Ao in person.

Try not to have misunderstandings between people. Otherwise, it will be like a crack in glass. As long as there is a slight external force, the crack will expand. Finally, it will gradually develop to an unstoppable level!

"A single man! Haha, then it's time to ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor. By then, you can't even use me to speak, so you have to call me me."

"Don't test me, I don't have that intention right now." Li Xiao shook his head.

"Ha! If you don't have such thoughts now, does that mean you will in the future? I said, if you become the emperor, I, Lao Ao, will have to be granted the title of Duke."

"Are you really curious?" Li Xiao glanced sideways at Ao Canghai.

"I really don't care about the poor princes. Look at all the princes and marquises in the capital. All of them have settled down. I heard that some princes are about to sell their mansions. When they come out,

Sister Qiao also mentioned it to me.

When I return to the capital, I will take a good look at the house first."

"Look at what that thing is for. It's too noisy in the capital now. I've built a few villas on Xiangshan Mountain. I'll live in No. 1 and leave No. 2 for you. I'll ask Mr. Sun later if he can go. If he wants, give it to him.

One."

"You like quietness, but I like liveliness. I'd better go buy the Duke's Mansion. My silly bitch will most likely come to find you soon. You can take it easy then. I'm afraid that bitch won't be able to think about it and will return to the capital immediately.

Seller product.

I like the villa in Tongzhou very much and don’t plan to sell it.”

"Sell it, just sell it, it doesn't matter. I don't believe it, who dares to buy it. Even if some ignorant bastard buys it, I will just go and get it back."

"Yes! With your current power, if you look at me with an unpleasant look, there will be people vying to help you kill people."

"Hey...! When I was a boy, I thought that lying drunk on the knees of a beautiful woman with a murder knife in my hand was the pleasure of life. But when I got to this point, I realized that things are never that simple.

Okay! I'll go back first. I need to lose my temper with Sister Qiao later, and I'll apologize afterwards. I have no choice but to lure that bastard out."

"You are a bitch who doesn't deserve your apology. As long as Lao Ao knows, leave through the back door!"

"No way! Not only do I treat Sister Qiao as my sister-in-law, but I also respect her as an eldest sister. Without her to take care of the younger ones in the family, I don't know what we would be like now."

"The more you talk, the more nagging you get. Let's go! Let's go!" Ao Canghai took another sip of wine and began to chase people away.

When Sister Qiao came to the mourning hall, she couldn't stop crying when she saw Li Hu's portrait. This child was the most trouble-making child when he was a child, and he often got hit by the soles of his own shoes.

But as an adult, this boy is also the most considerate person. Whether in the northwest or overseas, things for the New Year and festivals are delivered to my home in carloads.

Every time I come back to the capital, I come to see this old woman.

Unexpectedly, a lively man would be the first to leave...

"Auntie!" When Li Hao saw Sister Qiao, his tears poured out like a flood bursting from a dam. He hugged Sister Qiao and cried loudly.

"Who is that person? The Fourth Master seems to be very familiar with him."

"Yes! It seems that when the fourth master calls her aunt, she can't be a handsome elder."

"How is it possible? All the Marshal's family members were harmed by the Jurchen Tatars."

"Then what's going on?"

"You don't even know her, she is the head lady of Mr. Ao's family."

"Ouch! Ao Shuai's wife, I heard that Ao Shuai recently had an affair with the Marshal...!"

"Yes! It's spread outside, but it doesn't look like it."

"What do you know! All the men in this handsome man's family, as well as his aunts and uncles, were brought up by this lady. The relationship is naturally good!"

"Since this is the relationship, then between Marshal and Ao Shuai...!"

"Who can say for sure between Ao Shuai and Marshal? I have heard that Ao Shuai is quite suspicious of what happened this time. The commander of the Jinzhou Garrison was recommended by Ao Shuai.

Besides, look at the officials in Liaodong. Almost 30% of them are Mr. Ao's old subordinates. When Mr. Ao talks on this ground, he will definitely stomp his feet and tremble."

"That's right, Liaodong really feels like a needle can't be inserted and water can't be poured out. The officials placed in Liaodong by the Ministry of Personnel all said they couldn't do it anymore."

"Stop talking, stop talking. Someone is looking over here...!"

In fact, not only this group of people looked at Sister Qiao and Li Hao who were crying profusely, but almost everyone in the mourning hall was looking at them.

After crying hard in the mourning hall, Sister Qiao comforted Li Hao and looked around for Li Xiao.

"Where's your elder brother?"

"The eldest brother is in the garrison, and everyone is uncomfortable here. The eldest brother said that the suspension time will be longer. Even if he doesn't wait for the second brother, he has to wait for the little sister."

"I'm in Hainan. It will take a while to get back. Can I tell your elder brother that I want to meet him." Sister Qiao knew that if she went to Li Xiao's place like this, she would definitely be blocked. There was a high probability that she wouldn't even be able to see anyone.

.

After all, this is an extraordinary period, and my identity is so sensitive.

"Sister-in-law will come back in a while, and she will bring Li Lin to watch the funeral. As you know, Hu Niu is a girl and cannot keep the funeral. I will accompany you to see big brother!"

"Oh, okay." Sister Qiao glanced at Li Hao gratefully. She knew that Li Hao must have heard those rumors, and being able to take her to see Li Xiao at this time showed that this boy still cares about friendship.

After about five minutes, there was a commotion in front of the door.

There were a lot of greetings, and some people who had been muttering in a low voice just now began to cry at the top of their lungs. They just cried, and they were absolutely unambiguous.

Tokugawa Senhime appeared with Li Lin. The little Li Lin was almost as tall as Tokugawa Senhime. She was wearing heavy mourning clothes. She walked into the mourning hall, kowtowed to Li Hu's portrait tablet first, and then walked to Li Hao

around.

"Fourth uncle, I'll take your place. You have a rest!" He said, and helped Li Hao up very sensibly. Then he knelt down on the mat and returned gifts to those who came to express condolences.

Tokugawa Chiki walked into the lounge, which was not suitable for women. If Qiaojie didn't have a special status, she wouldn't be able to enter the mourning hall.

"Auntie! I'll take you to see my eldest brother." Li Hao picked up Sister Qiao and the two of them walked out. Another group of people crowded to both sides to express their condolences to Li Hao.

"I heard that you are engaged to Shi Kefa's granddaughter?"

"It's settled! The eldest brother also agreed and was about to get married with the Shi family. Then something happened about my third brother. He rushed back in a hurry and only saw my eldest brother once. Just in time, let's go to see him together.

I still have something to discuss with my eldest brother."

"You must also know the purpose of my meeting with your elder brother. Your Uncle Ao will never have such thoughts, no matter what."

"Auntie! I know, I know." Li Hao comforted Sister Qiao and ordered the carriage to drive immediately to the garrison.

"I'll have to help your aunt a little bit later."
