Chapter 97 97.When exactly?

You Jue Hengli kicked the ground on the wrist, and the sword flew out of Xiao Hengnian's hand.

You Jue took the sword in his hand and pointed it directly at Xiao Heng's throat.

Xiao Hengnian did not expect that his opponent would be so difficult to deal with, and that he was no match at all.

With my own level of cultivation, how can I talk about treason or revenge?

He couldn't help but feel weak and fell to the ground, lowering his head and saying nothing.

Seeing that he had lost his sharpness, Yu'er looked at him and asked coldly: "Or do you just want revenge and don't care about the life and death of the Xiao family?"

Xiao Hengnian reluctantly got up, cupped his hands to Yu'er and said, "What the girl said is true. I was just confused for a moment and made a big mistake."

Xiao Hengnian sighed and continued: "If I hadn't insisted on going my own way, how could I have let my third brother suffer this misfortune."

"You three brothers, you should know what is going on, right?" Yu'er said.

Xiao Hengnian sighed again and said: "That day, my second brother advised me not to do this dangerous thing again, because I didn't want Meng Fuman to listen to me. So he blackmailed my second brother, asking for official positions, gold and silver, and was greedy."

"You're going to let him blackmail your brother like this?" Yu'er said.

"I didn't know it before. It wasn't until the third brother was arrested that the second brother explained the matter to me. It turned out that the third brother had already discovered that the second brother was interacting with Hu Sixi, but he didn't know why, so he went to Hu Sixi's home to investigate, but unexpectedly lost the jade pendant. It was picked up by the old beggar. After the incident, I was afraid that if the government continued to investigate, it would bring trouble to the Xiao family, so I recognized them all, and told me not to tell the truth. I also agreed with Hu Sixi that if I bite him to death, he will be killed. Third Young Master, I will thank you deeply in the future and take care of my old mother for him, as long as I do my best to preserve the Xiao family."

"I can't tell that this Xiao Hengqi is weak and gentle, but he also has such courage." Yu'er nodded in approval.

"After the third brother's incident, I have figured out that no matter what grievances I have with the royal family, the Xiao family is very kind to me. How can I implicate them, so I have planned to let it go. But third brother... "When Xiao Hengqi said this, his expression became troubled.

"You Jue, is there any way?" Yu'er looked at You Jue and said.

"Now that the evidence is conclusive, it is impossible to reverse the case." You Jue said with a cold face.

"What is conclusive evidence? Isn't it just a broken jade pendant?" Yu'er said, "The confessions of the old beggar and Hu Sixi were just made up by themselves."

"It doesn't matter whether they made it up or not. What's important is that they made it up well, and the person in charge of the Ling Mansion is Zheng Desheng." You Jue said.

"What's wrong with Zheng Desheng?" Yu'er immediately asked alertly.

"Zheng Desheng married the Qi family, the adopted daughter of the Minister of Industry. This Qi family was born from Meng Kuang's affair with another man's wife." You Jue said.

Yu'er stared at You Jue, widened her eyes, and said, "How could..."

"The Xiao family has collapsed, so someone is naturally needed to take over the prime minister's position." You Jue said, "Meng Kuang will not let go of this opportunity."

"You mean Meng Kuang covets the position of prime minister?" Yu'er asked in surprise.

"General Meng, he actually..." Xiao Hengnian was also shocked.

"No wonder Zheng Desheng closed the case so hastily! No wonder he even broke into the Prime Minister's Mansion and searched at will! Let me tell you, there must be something wrong!" Yu'er suddenly realized and looked at You Jue, "How do you know this?"

You Jue did not answer, but said to Xiao Heng: "You'd better handle the matter cleanly."

"Yes, I will definitely handle it well." Xiao Hengnian cupped his hands and said.

If this matter is really involved, as You Jue said, not a single member of the Xiao family will be left alive.

Yu'er asked again: "What are you going to do, Xiao Hengqi?"

"The third brother will only die in vain when he returns to Qianling Mansion. I will definitely make good arrangements for the third brother." Xiao Hengnian cupped his hands and said.

Yu'er asked You Jue again: "What about Hu Sixi?"

"He accepted money from others. He should have known that he was going to die, and he deserved it." You Jue said.

"You are really..." Yu'er shook her head.

"What he got was the money he sacrificed his life for, so he was not unjust." You Jue snorted coldly.

Yu'er suddenly stared at his face without saying a word.

"What are you looking at?" You Jue looked at her coldly and asked.

"It's rare that you actually said so many words." Yu'er said curiously.

You Jue turned away and ignored her.

Yu'er took out a crimson packet from her sleeve, opened it, took out a bottle of Fangxiu Powder and handed it to Xiao Hengnian, saying: "This medicine is the best for treating trauma. You can take it and apply it on him once a day, and then apply it twice a day after three days."

Once a day, you'll be fine soon."

"Thank you, girl." Xiao Hengnian accepted without refusing.

After the two of them left Xiao Mansion, You Jue suddenly said: "Why are you still keeping the Ningshuang Pills?"

"Why do you peek at other people's things?" Yu'er said dissatisfied.

"Eat it." You Jue just said.

"You are so powerful, why don't you just grab it and eat it yourself?" Yu'er smiled at him.

"Although ice is beneficial to water, the divine turtle has thousands of years of cultivation. If you eat it, it will help me even more." You Jue said.

Is ice beneficial to water? Why can't it restrain Zhu Yan?

Yu'er said with regret in her heart.

Thinking of the situation just now, it was as if the snow mountain crystals were even more fragile in front of Zhu Yan's power, and I felt a little annoyed.

"Why don't you speak?" You Jue said.

"Ah? What are you talking about?" Yu'er woke up with a start, "I kept the Ningshuang Pills to honor my mother, how could I take them?"

Hearing her words, You Jue was frightened and stopped talking.

The two returned to the empty mansion, where Chi Lin and Xiaomi sat on the floor.

Mrs. Li was still lying on the bed.

Kurihara was nowhere to be seen.

"Miss Yu'er." Chi Lin saw her turning around and quickly stood up to greet her, "Are you okay?"

Looking behind her, Youjue's green shirt was half-undressed, but his green belt was tied around Yu'er's waist. She was shocked.

"Sister Yu'er, you..." Xiao Mi also saw this scene, her face turned pale and she said tremblingly.

"Miss Yu'er, I'll kill him for you!" Chi Lin's face was dark, and he drew his sword and stabbed You Jue.

You Jue turned slightly sideways and clamped the tip of the sword between two fingers of his right hand, so that Chi Lin could not hold it any longer.

You Jue flicked the sword lightly, and Chi Lin felt a force coming from him, forcing him to take two steps back.

"Chief Lieutenant Chi, don't get excited, I'm fine." Yu'er smiled at Chi Lin.

"Then you..." Chi Lin said curiously.

"Ah? Well, this is just a misunderstanding." Yu'er said with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Mi's face again, Yu'er stepped forward and put his arms around her shoulders, saying softly: "Xiao Mi, don't worry, it's just a little accident, we're fine."

"Yes." Xiao Mi just nodded slightly and said, "As long as Sister Yu'er is fine."

He looked at You Jue again, his face slightly red.

Yu'er walked to the bed, took out a Shuangyi Dan and fed it to Li.

"Where is her son?" Yu'er raised her head and asked You Jue.

"Xuanzhou." Youjue said.

"So we went back there." Yu'er nodded and said, "Send her out of the city first and find a place to settle down. After her injury is better, we will return to Xuanzhou."

It was already dawn and some people were walking around.

You Jue went outside to find a carriage, put Mrs. Li in the carriage, and left the city gate.

On the way, Yu'er told Chi Lin about the Xiao family's affairs.

After Chi Lin heard this, he was helpless.

"Where will Ziyu go?" Chi Lin asked.

"Ask Xiao Hengnian, he will naturally know." Yu'er said.

"I'm afraid this matter won't be that simple." Chi Lin frowned.

"What? What else is going on?" Yu'er asked curiously.

"Actually, the emperor has always been concerned about this matter and secretly sent the prince to investigate the matter." Chi Lin said.

"It seems that the emperor is still very satisfied with his son-in-law." Yu'er said with a smile, "That's why the Xiao family has not moved yet."

"Now that things are going like this, Prime Minister Xiao's position may be a little unstable." Chi Lin sighed.

"The crime of deceiving the emperor is not a light one." Yu'er nodded.

Xiaomi was surprisingly quiet today and didn't interrupt.

He often looks secretly at You Jue.

You Jue just closed her eyes and rested her mind, not saying a single word.

In the afternoon, several people came to a small town thirty miles away from Jingyue City, placed Li in a farmhouse, and told her never to return to Jingyue City again.
