"Let's go into the room and say." Xing Wu looked at Si Jinbai with a very solemn expression.

Seeing that he had a serious expression, Si Jinbai seemed to have something important to say, but he did not refuse.

He carried Xing Wu into the house with the chicken in his arms, and the little He family of Zhao followed him.

After entering the room, Xing Wu's two companions closed the door. Xing Wu then spoke, pointed to the chicken in Si Jinbai's arms and said, "The chicken in your arms is not a chicken, but a peacock."

"What? Peacock? What is that?" Si Jinbai and the two women in the room were stunned, looking at Xing Wu with a blank look on their faces.

Seeing that the three of them looked like they didn't know anything, the suspicion in their hearts disappeared.

Such people who don’t even know what the peacock is should have nothing to do with the tribute being stolen.

Xing Wu's tone was even more relaxed and he explained: "The name in your arms is called Peacock. Its feathers are extremely beautiful, especially the tail feathers, which are the favorite accessories of nobles in the palace.

The peacock was not in Dayong. A month ago, the State of Nanyue once paid a tribute to the current emperor, but it was stolen by someone near Jinzhou and has not been found yet.

If I guess correctly, that peacock is the one in your arms.”

"Ah?" Si Jinbai and the other two screamed in surprise.

When Xing Wu described the peacock, Si Jinbai and Zhao knew that the peacock he mentioned was definitely not fooling them.

Because both of them had seen this peacock's long tail feathers, and Si Jinbai cut them off at that time.

Now that he heard Xing Wu say this was a tribute, Si Jinbo suddenly felt scared and sweated in cold sweat on his back.

So before, he cut off the tail feathers for his aunt to make the bottle-inserted, which was actually the emperor's tribute?

Zhao couldn't help but grab Si Jinbai's clothes. The couple looked at each other nervously, and saw fear in each other's eyes.

When Xing Wu saw Si Jinbai and the others showed a look of fear, he didn't think much about it.

I thought they were afraid of being implicated, so I asked them angrily: "Do you still remember where you got this peacock?"

"We caught it in the mountains." Si Jinbai answered without thinking.

"In the mountains?" Xing Wu frowned when he heard this, as if he was a little disbelief.

"Yes, there are a lot of wild animals in the Sheep Mountain behind us. Everyone usually goes to hunt inside. I caught this peacock when I was catching pheasants."

Si Jinbai never mentioned Si Qing and Qiongqi, but only took this matter to himself.

Zhao, on the other hand, also understood Si Jinbai's intention and quickly added: "Yes, if you don't believe it, you can go to our backyard to see it. There are a lot of pheasants in our chicken coop!"

"Yes, yes, we thought this peacock looked different at the time, so we caught it. Who knew it was actually... a tribute?" Xiao He also said hurriedly.

Seeing that the three of them were not as fake, Xing Wu thought about it and asked again: "This is what happened when you caught this peacock, or did you cut it off later?"

When asked about this, Si Jinbai and Zhao felt nervous again.

They cut off the emperor's tribute. If they admit it, they might be arrested and beheaded.

If you lie, there are not many people who know about this anyway. At worst, just hide the tail feather in your aunt's house.

Si Jinbai thought for a moment and was about to deny it, but suddenly a scream like a pig slaughtering came from outside.

Then there was a burst of angry curses: "Where did the little bastard come from? Look at me, I will break your legs and sell you to someone's teeth as a slave!"
