Inside and outside Tsing Yi Building, there was a dead silence, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Immediately, several members of the Tsing Yi gang who were close to the mansion rushed into the courtyard and saw Jiang Qianxing being smashed to pieces and lying on the ground. The bluestone slab was cracked, and blood spread along the cracks to all sides.

The grand master of Tsing Yi Hall is dead!

How could he die?

Everyone was stunned.

The young Marquis stood on the edge of the railing and turned to look downstairs. Looking at Jiang Qianxing's body, he froze. It was not until someone took the big knife in his hand that he came back to his senses and tried to stand up.

He held the knife, but the opponent took advantage of his daze and quickly grabbed the knife. When he came back to his senses, his hand was empty.

The knife was originally placed near Qiuniang's neck, and Qiuniang was the last source of confidence for the young Marquis of Huaiyang. At this time, the sword was taken away. The young Marquis knew that something was wrong, but Qin Xiao had already reached out and grabbed it.

Qiu Niang dragged her behind her.

Even the two strong men in green clothes who were escorting Qiuniang didn't come back to their senses.

They just feel that everything is like a dream.

"You still want to stay?" Qin Xiao looked at the two people and asked.

The two strong men's faces were pale and they ran away like bereft dogs without saying a word.

When the Little Marquis of Huaiyang saw this, he was about to run away after the two people, but he felt a cold chill on his neck, and a knife was already placed on his neck.

Dare to move, and said in a trembling voice: "You... what are you going to do?"

"Young Lord Marquis just left like this?" Qin Xiao said with a sneer on his lips: "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Qin...Qin Xiao, you...you can't kill me!" The young Marquis of Huaiyang said anxiously: "I...I am the son of the Prime Minister, a saint...

The saint is my aunt, if you kill me, you will definitely...must be cut into pieces."

Qin Xiao sighed: "Whether I kill you or not, you will take revenge on me. In this case, I might as well support you and die with you. It's not a loss."

"No." The young Marquis of Huaiyang had no doubt that Qin Xiao would dare to attack him, and said in horror: "Qin Xiao, I... I won't retaliate, I will... keep my word, as long as

.....As long as you let me go, I will never...never trouble you again."

Qin Xiao shook his head and said: "I can't trust you." He was about to take action, but the little Houye was so frightened that he screamed: "Qingcheng... Do you remember Qingcheng? I... I am Qingcheng's brother.

......1"

Qin Xiao was a little confused and frowned: "Qingcheng? What Qingcheng?"

"You don't know Qingcheng?" The young Marquis said in surprise: "I...my sister, do you recognize my sister? Xiahou Qingcheng, she...she is my sister!"

Qin Xiao only felt that this name was very unfamiliar, but he seemed to have the slightest impression of it. After thinking about it, he really couldn't remember this person. He shook his head and said: "What does your sister have to do with me? I have never seen the Qingcheng you mentioned.

Pass."

The young Marquis said anxiously: "Impossible, you...how could you not know her? You helped her, and...and when you stayed in Kyoto, it was my sister who helped, otherwise...

...Otherwise you won’t be able to enter the Ministry of War.”

Qin Xiao's body was shaken.

In fact, he has been wondering that he and Han Yunong went to Beijing together, and the case of Fan Wenzheng

After the settlement, Han Yunong was transferred to Pei Xiaogong's command. Logically speaking, he should have been transferred with Han Yunong, but in the end he was left in Kyoto and directly entered the Ministry of War and became a seventh-rank official.

Dou Fan would never have a good impression of him, and Qin Xiao found it hard to believe that this was Dou Fan's decision.

He always felt strange, but he didn't ask too many questions.

Hearing what the young Marquis said at this time, he was naturally quite surprised and asked: "What did you say? Your sister helped me enter the Ministry of War? Why...why did she help me?"

"You really can't remember her?" The young Marquis of Huaiyang asked suspiciously: "But she said that when she was in Xiling, it was you who helped her out. She was eating noodles in a shop and had no money to pay the bill, so you helped her pay.

For some money, is there... is there such a thing?"

Qin Xiao was suddenly stunned.

When the young Marquis of Huaiyang mentioned this, he immediately remembered that when he was in Turtle City, a girl disguised herself as a man to eat at Overlord Dinner. She had no money to pay the bill and was stopped by the store. In the end, he stepped forward to help the girl out. He vaguely remembered it.

The girl did mention her name to him, but he didn't pay much attention to it. They met by chance, and Qin Xiao had helped many people in Turtle City, so naturally he wouldn't take it to heart.

At this time, I finally realized that the girl was actually a young lady from the Xiahou family.

He just found it incredible.

At first, he just helped Xiahou Qingcheng pay for a bowl of noodles, but unexpectedly, she kept it in her heart and even helped him stay in Kyoto and work as an errand in the Ministry of Household Affairs.

If Xiahou Qingcheng was really a young lady from the Prime Minister's family, it would be very easy to arrange for someone to join the Ministry of War as an errand.

"She is your sister?" Qin Xiao looked grim.

The young Marquis of Huaiyang said hurriedly: "Yes, Qingcheng... Qingcheng is my biological sister, we... our brother and sister have a very good relationship, for... for Qingcheng's sake

, you...you will spare me this time."

"Your sister wants to help me, but you want to kill me, and you still say that your brother and sister have a good relationship?" Qin Xiao sneered: "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

The little Marquis of Huaiyang, whose life was hanging by a thread, could only say: "I...I didn't want to kill you originally, but...our Xiahou family helped you enter the Ministry of War, but you repaid your kindness with your hatred. Behind your back...

...stabbed me in the back, and I...I was so angry that I wanted to teach you a lesson...!"

"Are you trying to kill me, or is there someone else who wants to kill me?" Qin Xiao asked coldly.

The young Marquis of Huaiyang said: "I...I didn't want to kill you, I just wanted to teach you a lesson...!" Before he could finish speaking, he felt the knife tighten on his neck, and his heart trembled.

He said helplessly: "I...I want to kill you, but aren't you still alive? Don't worry, I won't cause trouble for you in the future. I will keep my word."

Qin Xiao said lightly: "Since your sister has helped me, if I want to kill you, you must feel that I am ungrateful. But if you want to survive, you must do one thing."

"Don't mention one thing, I agree to all ten." When the young Marquis of Huaiyang thought of Jiang Qianxing's smashed body downstairs, his heart trembled, and he said without hesitation: "What do you want me to do?

"

Qin Xiao retracted the knife, ignored the young marquis, turned to look at Qiuniang, and saw Qiuniang looking at him with red eyes, smiled gently, took out the thing from her mouth, then turned behind Qiuniang and untied it

rope.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." Qin Xiao said softly

Said: "I will take you home later."

Qiuniang's nose felt sore, but she nodded. Seeing that there were blood stains on Qin Xiao's body, she asked with concern: "Are you injured? Is it okay?"

"Don't worry, these mobs haven't been able to hurt me yet." Qin Xiao saw Qiuniang's body shaking and was about to collapse. He knew that he was relying on perseverance to support him before. Now that there was no danger, his spirit relaxed and his body felt somewhat supported.

Unable to hold back, he helped Qiuniang into the house and helped her sit down. He felt Qiuniang's delicate body trembling slightly, knowing that this beautiful girl was really frightened this time.

"Take a rest." Qin Xiao said warmly.

Qiuniang nodded obediently, Qin Xiao smiled slightly, and then returned to the young Marquis of Huaiyang. Her smile faded and she asked: "Little Marquis, the officer in charge of the third division obeyed your instructions and passed off the inferior ones as good ones. He was greedy for ink.

Military expenditures, how long has this been going on?"

The little Marquis of Huaiyang moved his lips slightly, but stopped talking.

"If I ask you a question, just answer it honestly." Qin Xiao said with a cold face: "If I want to kill you, no one can save you."

"Less than... less than three years." The young Marquis of Huaiyang had no choice but to confess: "Actually, I can't make much money in a year. Except for the various expenses in the middle, I can't make much money after a year."

Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, but not all of these hundreds of thousands of taels of silver fell into my hands, I could only get 50% of it, and the rest was divided between the chief officer of the Third Division and the people below."

Qin Xiao said "Oh", looked at the young Marquis of Huaiyang up and down, and said: "The young Marquis is the son of the Prime Minister's family, and the Prime Minister is the head of the ministers. How can your Xiahou family be short of money? I heard

It is said that the prime minister has as many as ten thousand households. Coupled with the filial piety of the officials, the annual income of the Xiahou family is probably one million. You are the son of the prime minister, and your money is inexhaustible.

Why do you still take risks and engage in such deeds that harm the country and the people?"

The young Marquis of Huaiyang hesitated for a moment, then saw Qin Xiao's eyes staring at him like knives, and could only say: "The Xiahou family's annual income is indeed quite large, but their expenses are also large, and... and my father

I was never allowed to handle it, and there were only twenty-two pieces of money every month. Even though I worked as a bullshit patrol officer in the Household Department, it was just a false title, and I couldn’t use the money in the Household Department.

I only have a salary of more than a dozen taels of silver a month, so when I add it all up, I only have a few dozen taels of silver a month...!"

"You work in the Ministry of Household Affairs?" Qin Xiao was stunned.

The young Marquis of Huaiyang nodded and said: "Originally, my father sent me to serve as a soldier under Pei Xiaogong, but being a soldier was very difficult. I stayed there for several months, but I couldn't stand it any longer. I fell seriously ill, and General Pei sent me

I was sent back to Kyoto. After I recovered from my illness, I did not return to the army. My father sent me to the Ministry of Household Affairs as an inspector." At this point, his eyes showed an aura, and he clenched his fists and said: "

If it weren't for his unfair treatment, I wouldn't have made such a move. No matter what big things happened at home, he would just tell Xuanyuan Ning and treat me as if I didn't exist...!"

"Who is Xuanyuan Ning?" Qin Xiao asked.

The young Marquis of Huaiyang said angrily: "What a holy fart, he is just a self-righteous guy. He is the eldest son of the Xiahou family. He has a higher eye and never looks at me when he talks to me. He has not inherited the Xiahou family yet."

His family business is so arrogant, if he inherits the Xiahou family one day, how can I survive...!" He complained, obviously very dissatisfied with Xiahou Ning.
