Xiao Heng saw that Xiao Huanzhang's small eyes were as deep as the sea, staring at his eyes, sweating on his forehead, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, how is this... this possible? Big brother... Big brother will never be like this."

Xiao Huanzhang sighed lightly: "Although I trust Dingxi, he is still an outsider after all. I have something to say to him, Madam and you are my relatives, so I won't hide it from you. In fact, how can I not know about the Jingsheng brothers fighting openly and secretly for the position of the head of the family? I have made a long time ago. The position of the head of the family will be passed on to Jingsheng. I have always been a legitimate and chief. This rule cannot be broken. As for Jingqian, I originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to him, but now there is no chance." After a pause, my brows frowned slightly, "I know Jingqian is not convinced by Jingsheng, and Jingsheng has always been worried that Jingqian will threaten his inheritance position, but I didn't expect that the matter would develop so seriously."

Mrs. Xiao asked softly: "Master really thinks Jingsheng is Zhu Lingyue's inner support?"

"Jingsheng and Zhu Lingyue have had private contact. I have known this for a long time. Zhu Lingyue gives Jingsheng a batch of gifts every year, and Jingsheng often speaks for Zhu Lingyue in front of me." Xiao Huanzhang said slowly: "Jingqian was killed this time, and Zhu Lingyue cannot escape the relationship, and Jingsheng... Jingsheng is also very suspicious...!" He coughed, and Mrs. Xiao hurriedly stroked his back. Xiao Huanzhang looked very old and smiled bitterly: "Across the ages, from the royal family, brothers were tragically tragically to inherit the throne, to the people, brothers were often incompatible with inheritance... I have made this huge family business and heirs, but I never expected that the disaster of tragic death would also happen in my Xiao family."

Mrs. Xiao sighed quietly, sighing, but she didn't speak.

"Heng'er, if it was Jingqian's death, it was really related to Jingsheng. What do you think I should do?" Xiao Huanzhang stared at Xiao Heng's eyes, "You have always been my uncle's right-hand man. I can only discuss such a big thing with you."

Xiao Heng had already knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly: "Uncle, this thing is not better if the eldest brother did. Even if the eldest brother did it, it was not what the eldest brother did!"

Xiao Huanzhang narrowed his eyes.

"Uncle, the second brother has gone. Now the eldest brother is the only one left." Xiao Heng said solemnly: "The foundation of Beishan must be inherited, and the position of the head of the Xiao family must also be responsible for the heavy responsibility. In any case, the eldest brother cannot be involved in this matter. The second brother's murder was done by Zhu Lingyue, and it has nothing to do with the eldest brother."

Xiao Huanzhang stared at Xiao Heng and sighed: "Jingqian was killed. If Jingsheng really had something to do, as my father, I must give Jingqian justice. Jingsheng, a rebellious son, can even kill his own brothers, and that is even worse than beasts. Even if my Xiao family has no heirs, they cannot be inherited by such a person. What's more, the Xiao family is not without others to inherit..." He raised his trembling hand, "Heng'er, you are all-round in civil and military affairs, far better than their brothers. If you inherit the Xiao family's family, the Xiao family will definitely be prosperous!"

When Xiao Heng heard this, he was stunned at first, then suddenly stood up, lowered his head, rushed towards the copper stove next to him. Mrs. Xiao suddenly changed color, but Xiao Huanzhang took a step, poked out his hand, and grabbed Xiao Heng's arm.

Although Xiao Huanzhang is old, his speed is really not slow at this moment. Fortunately, he pulled his sternly, otherwise Xiao Heng's head would have hit the copper furnace. If so, even if he does not die, he will be seriously injured.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Huanzhang said in a deep voice.

Xiao Heng's eyes were red and said, "Uncle, the Xiao family's family business must be inherited by the eldest brother. If the uncle values ​​it, his nephew is willing to assist the eldest brother to death, otherwise his nephew would rather die!"

Xiao Huanzhang burst into tears and said, "Good nephew, you value love and friendship. If the Jingsheng brothers are like you, how could my Xiao family end up like this?"

Xiao Heng knelt on the ground, crying as well.

Mrs. Xiao sighed and finally said, "Master, there are two hours left, and the sky is about to dawn. Tomorrow, there will inevitably be many people coming to the door. Master should rest early and maintain enough energy."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded and said to Xiao Heng: "Heng'er, you should go back and rest first. Starting tomorrow, there are still many things to do."

"Uncle, go and rest." Xiao Heng said: "Tonight is the first night when the second brother stops his soul. On weekdays, he will be given more care from his second brother. Tonight, my nephew stays here to keep his soul here to guard for his second brother!"

"But your spirit...!"

"Uncle, don't worry, my nephew is a martial artsman, and he is young, so there is no problem." Xiao Heng said: "Uncle, you go and rest first."

Xiao Huanzhang glanced at Lingbed, nodded slightly, raised his hand and patted Xiao Heng's shoulder, "Okay, Jingqian will be handed over to you tonight..." He said to Mrs. Xiao: "Madam, please tell your servants to go back and send some midnight snacks, don't let Heng'er be hungry."

"Master, don't think too much about these things. I will take you back to your room first, serve you to bed first, and then get some food to bring to Heng'er." Mrs. Xiao said sadly.

Xiao Huanzhang nodded and instructed Xiao Heng a few more words before leaving the door with the help of Mrs. Xiao.

Xiao Jingqian's mourning hall was set up with the Governor's Mansion. Xiao Huanzhang and Mrs. Xiao lived in the East Courtyard. When they returned to the yard, Mrs. Xiao asked someone to send hot water to serve Xiao Huanzhang to soak her feet first.

Xiao Huanzhang was in poor health and the weather was cold, so every night, Mrs. Xiao had to serve him soaking her feet in hot water soaked with herbs.

Xiao Huanzhang sat on a chair with his feet soaked in the water. Mrs. Xiao asked softly: "Master, is the water temperature appropriate?"

"Such as appropriate." Xiao Huanzhang sighed softly: "Madam, it's hard for you..."

"Why do you say such things?" Mrs. Xiao said: "It is my blessing to be able to serve you by your side... Master, I know you are sad, but... Oh, it's already like this. Let's do it for Jingqian's funeral first. If you kill Jingqian's enemies, the master will always be able to deal with it."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded, suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Madam, do you think the inner thought is Jingsheng?"

"I hope it's not, but...!" Mrs. Xiao hesitated for a moment, shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I only hope that there is no such an insider at all..." After hesitating for a while, he finally asked carefully, "Master, you are in the mourning hall just now, are you... testing Xiao Heng?"

Xiao Huanzhang said "Oh" and asked back, "How can you see Madam?"

"The master asked Xiao Heng to take on the great cause of the Xiao family. I think... he is not suitable."

Xiao Huanzhang sighed, "You are wrong. If he is my son, he is the most suitable candidate. It's a pity..." Shaking his head, then whispered: "I don't doubt him. I just have weight and inner support. It's not just Jingsheng. Luo Dingxi and Xiao Heng both have this ability, but I know very well that Luo Dingxi is a human being. He will not do such a thing. As for Xiao Heng, he has been to Tianshan and has had contact with Zhu Lingyue several times, so I made a test."

"Then the master thinks it is possible that Xiao Heng is Zhu Lingyue's inner responder?"

Xiao Huanzhang pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head and said, "The so-called different Taos do not plan for each other. Xiao Heng has always opposed submitting to Zhu Lingyue. On the contrary, Jingsheng hopes to join forces with Zhu Lingyue from beginning to end, and even supports Zhu Lingyue to become the king of the northwest... If it weren't for me to stop him, Xiao Heng might have really been killed there, and it shouldn't be him..." After pausing, he whispered: "But if Jingsheng is an insider, there is a doubt."

"What is the master?"

"That guard Huang Ye." Xiao Huanzhang said softly: "Huang Ye is Jingqian's man. If this is an ambush set up by Zhu Lingyue, with his scheming, this ambush must be a comprehensive plan. Why can Huang Ye escape alone under their ambush?"

"What did the master say?"

"After Huang Ye comes back, it is proved that Jingqian had shouted Jingsheng's name before he died. Did the ambusher deliberately let Huang Ye go, with the purpose of asking him to come back and identify Jingsheng?" Xiao Huanzhang's eyes were deep, "If this is true, Jingsheng may not be the inner supporter."

Mrs. Xiao's red lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but she still wanted to say something and stopped. She didn't say it out loud. Xiao Huanzhang saw it and asked, "Does Madam have any opinions?"

"No." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "I am a woman, this matter is of great importance. My nonsense is a mess, but my thoughts are messed up."

"Madam has something to say, but it doesn't matter. You and I are husband and wife. If you don't say something to me, who can you say it to?" Xiao Huanzhang stretched out his hand and held Mrs. Xiao's hand.

Mrs. Xiao hesitated for a moment before whispering: "When the master was in the mourning hall today, he said that the truth was true and the truth was false. Between the truth, the master judged that Zhu Lingyue deliberately left the snow-wood arrow, but instead wanted to cover up the matter related to him. It was someone else who sowed the discord from it. So... Then did they use this trick to deliberately release Huang Ye back?"

Xiao Huanzhang's eyes trembled, "Madam, they said that they deliberately put Huang Ye back to identify Jingsheng, which actually made me suspect that this was not what Jingsheng did?"

"I don't know." Mrs. Xiao shook her head and said, "As the master said, Huang Ye was able to escape from the ambush alive. It was really strange. Their purpose was to make Huang Ye point out Jingsheng... The master has always been cautious. This omission cannot be doubted. As long as the master suspects that Huang Ye has a problem with coming back, then he points out Jingsheng. Just as the master thought just now, he feels that Jingsheng is unlikely...!"

Xiao Huanzhang nodded slightly, with a look of pain in his eyes, and sighed softly: "Yes, their purpose is actually to make me suspect that this matter has nothing to do with Jingsheng, but this is exactly the case, which proves that this matter cannot be separated from Jingsheng. If Huang Ye had not come back and handled it cleanly, I would have felt that this matter is related to Jingsheng. Because Jingqian was killed, the one who benefited the most, actually...!" Both hands trembled, "In fact, Jingsheng was the one who benefited the most!"

"Master, Xiao Heng has a good saying." Mrs. Xiao said quietly: "No matter whether this matter is related to Jingsheng, the only one who kills Jingqian is Zhu Lingyue. Jingsheng must not be involved. If Jingsheng is really found to be related to this matter and is known to outsiders, the prestige of the Xiao family will definitely plummet. Moreover... and Jingsheng is the only bloodline of the master now and the only heir of the master. In any case, you must keep Jingsheng..." Kneeled on the ground and begged: "Master, I ask the master not to investigate the inner response anymore. No matter what, you cannot pull out Jingsheng again."

Xiao Huanzhang reached out and pulled Mrs. Xiao up again, and said with a wry smile: "Madam, if you have a wife like this, what else can you ask for? Don't worry, I know how to deal with this matter."

"Master, it's already late, you look very tired, I'll serve you first." Mrs. Xiao said softly: "I know that Jingqian was killed, you feel sad and unable to fall asleep. But there are many things to do later. You are old and you must have a good rest... To avenge Jingqian, there are still many things to do."

Xiao Huanzhang nodded and said, "Madam is saying," and said, "Madam, go back and ask the servants to send Xiao Heng some midnight snacks. No matter what Jingsheng will do in the future, there will be many places to use Xiao Heng in the future."

"Don't worry, Master, I'll send it to him personally, so that he can be grateful to Master." Mrs. Xiao wiped Xiao Huanzhang's feet and served him to lie on the bed. "You rest first, I'll send him food and come back soon."
