When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on the earth. Sleeping people wake up from their dreams and start a new busy day. The streets that had been silent all night became lively again. Small vendors set up stalls, and shops on both sides of the street also opened their doors. For them, this is just one day out of countless ordinary days. They work at sunrise and rest at sunset, simply busy for survival.
"Lian'er, we won't be leaving the house today. Please ask Butler He to bring over the accounts from the house." Liu Yunqing said to Lian'er while having breakfast.
"Yes, Miss. Lian'er will go find Butler He now." Lian'er agreed and left.
Soon, Butler He followed Lian'er back with the account book. At this time, Liu Yunqing also finished his breakfast.
"Madam, these are the accounts of the house for the past two months. Madam, please take a look." After the housekeeper He saluted, he put the accounts in his hand on the table in front of Liu Yunqing.
"Thank you for your work. Butler He, please go back first. Yun Qing will send Lian'er back after reading." Liu Yunqing said politely.
"Yes, ma'am, I'm leaving." Butler He bowed and left.
Liu Yunqing picked up the account book and looked at it page by page. There are many people in the Hou Mansion, and the expenses are also large. Every entry and exit will be clearly recorded. In the past, when Xia Jingyao was at the border, Butler He was in charge of everything in the house. Ever since Liu Yunqing came to the Hou Mansion, Butler He had repeatedly asked Liu Yunqing to check the accounts. Liu Yunqing originally didn't want to investigate, but Butler He mentioned it again and again, as if Liu Yunqing wouldn't be able to continue his job if he didn't investigate. After Liu Yunqing and Xia Jingyao discussed it, they decided to comply with Butler He's wishes to prevent him from feeling uneasy.
Time passed little by little, and before you knew it, a few hours passed. Liu Yunqing was looking at the account book when Butler He hurried in.
"Madam, it's not good." Butler He said urgently.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yunqing raised his head and realized that it was already dark outside.
"Xiao Ming broke into the mansion with dozens of guards and thugs. Captain Sun is leading people to confront them. The Marquis is not in the mansion, so the villain has no choice but to come find Madam." Butler He told Liu Yunqing the situation.
"Let's go take a look. Have you sent someone to notify the Marquis?" Liu Yunqing asked as he walked out.
"We have sent people to find Mr. Hou, but we are still not sure how long it will take to find him." Butler He followed Liu Yunqing and responded truthfully.
Seeing Liu Yunqing's arrival, the guards of the Hou Mansion made way for Liu Yunqing to come to the front. Captain Sun stood beside Liu Yunqing to protect Liu Yunqing's safety.
"Xiao Ming, do you know what you are doing? Do you know what the crime of breaking into the Marquis' Mansion with weapons is? If you act so recklessly, the entire County Sheriff's Mansion will be implicated by you. If you act so boldly, Lord Sheriff Do you know? I advise you to leave as soon as possible, so that the Marquis can forget the blame. If the Marquis comes back, it will not be so simple." Liu Yunqing asked several questions one after another, each one louder than the last.
"Hahaha, Liu Yunqing, I am not afraid to tell you that today, except for you, the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion will die, including Xia Jingyao." Xiao Ming laughed loudly after hearing Liu Yunqing's words. In Xiao Ming's eyes, dad is omnipotent. As long as daddy wants to do something, he can definitely do it. Since dad said that the Yong'an Marquis Mansion will be destroyed today, it will definitely be destroyed.
Hearing Xiao Ming's words, Liu Yunqing's expression changed. Liu Yunqing believed Xiao Ming's words nine points. As long as Xiao Ming doesn't lose his mind and go crazy, he will definitely not dare to talk nonsense unless he has really made such a plan.
"Liu Yunqing, I have said this a long time ago that you can't escape from my grasp. After all the detours, you will eventually come back to me. If you obediently follow me now, I will still consider it. , let you take a few more people away." Seeing Liu Yunqing's expression change, Xiao Ming became even more proud.
"Xiao Ming, do you really think that the Xiao family can cover the sky with one hand? This is the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, not a place where you can run wild. This lady warns you that if you dare to mess around, your Xiao family will be raided and executed. We're almost there." Liu Yunqing said before thinking of Haitang, Xia Jingyao had already transferred people into the city. Xia Jingyao must have been fully prepared. Liu Yunqing suppressed the panic in his heart and shouted sharply.
"The Xiao family in Fuchang County can naturally cover the sky with one hand. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. If there is more to say, we will not talk about it here. After the wedding ceremony in the evening, I will tell you enough. Come here, come to me, kill everyone except Liu Yunqing." Xiao Ming looked at Liu Yunqing, his heart was so itchy that he stopped talking nonsense and gave the order to attack.
"How dare you dare to run wild in this prince's mansion." At this moment, Xia Jingyao's roaring voice came from the gate. As the words fell, Xia Jingyao had already led people to rush towards the guards behind Xiao Ming. How can the thugs who look after the home and the courtyard be compared to Xia Jingyao's elite men. I saw Xia Jingyao knocking away the Xiao family guards who were blocking him one by one.
Xiao Ming was shocked when he saw Xia Jingyao returning home. According to the plan that Butler Xiao told him, Xia Jingyao had no chance to return home. He looked at Butler Xiao next to him and wanted to question Butler Xiao, but Butler Xiao grabbed his arm and pushed him towards Xia Jingyao. Xia Jingyao knocked away a guard and saw Xiao Ming coming towards him. Xia Jingyao didn't hesitate and kicked Xiao Ming. Without any doubt, Xiao Ming was kicked out.
When Xiao Ming was about to land, Butler Xiao appeared behind Xiao Ming. While stabilizing Xiao Ming's figure, he slapped Xiao Ming's back hard with his palm. Xiao Ming spat out a mouthful of blood, but he was held tightly by Butler Xiao. Xiao Ming slowly turned his head and looked at Butler Xiao behind him, with anger, unwillingness and doubt in his eyes. These emotions were fixed in the last moment of Xiao Ming's life. As Butler Xiao let go, Xiao Ming's body fell to the ground.
"The young master was beaten to death by the Marquis of Yong'an. The young master was beaten to death by the Marquis of Yong'an. The young master was beaten to death by the Marquis of Yong'an." Butler Xiao shouted loudly.
Hearing Butler Xiao's shout, the two parties who were fighting stopped in unison. The Xiao family guards all retreated to Xiao Ming's body. The guard leader knelt down and checked. Xiao Ming was indeed dead. The guard leader's face was pale. Even if Xiao Ming died, he would not survive.
Liu Yunqing looked at Xiao Ming lying on the ground in surprise, with disbelief on his face. Ever since Xia Jingyao appeared, she had been looking at Xia Jingyao. Xiao Ming was not the only one who was beaten out by Xia Jingyao. Why was Xiao Ming the only one who died? Xia Jingyao came to Liu Yunqing's side and gently held Liu Yunqing's hand. Liu Yunqing looked at Xia Jingyao and shook his head gently, indicating that he was fine.
At this moment, the sound of neat running came from outside the Hou Mansion, as well as the voices of officers giving orders. A large number of soldiers rushed into the Hou Mansion, and the archers bent their bows and arrows, pointing directly at the people in the Hou Mansion.
