"Tut, you're really from a big family. You're so smart." Qinghu said sarcastically.
They didn't leave immediately.
Although they had saved the old woman's life just now, the young master of the Zhao family was obviously spoiled and might seek revenge on the old woman.
Moreover, the two of them were really ashamed of the other party's disregard for human life.
What right did he have to decide the life and death of an innocent person?
In front of Zhao Ziyan, the two of them had enough enmity.
Therefore, Zhao Ziyan just killed his guard to vent his anger and then regained his reason.
Lin Mengya frowned slightly when she saw this scene.
"Is Zhao Ziyan just an adopted son of the Zhao family?"
Qinghu said disdainfully, "I don't think Zhao Jian is good. Maybe the Zhao family has always been like this."
"Indeed, there's no difference between an adopted son and a real son. But I think Zhao Ziyan's upbringing is worse than Zhao Jian's, and he killed the guard of the Zhao family casually. Don't you think he has too much power? "
Zhao Jian was also bad, but at least he was flexible.
But Zhao Ziyan was vicious and unreasonable. He didn't have the demeanor of a big family at all.
She had heard Li Ao mention the Zhao family before.
Although the Zhao family had a lot of problems in recent years, it was still a big family with many generations of inheritance. They would never let their children do whatever they wanted outside.
But when Zhao Ziyan killed the guard, he didn't hesitate at all.
It was obvious that it was not the first time he had done such a thing.
Had the Zhao family spoiled him so much that they didn't care about their family's reputation?
"He's just a spoiled brat. He'll be taught a lesson sooner or later." Qinghu said.
"However, we've just offended Fang Rao's adopted son. If we come here now, she won't detain us to help her son vent his anger, right?"
Qinghu didn't have a good impression of Fang Rao.
Little Moyan was also his daughter's adopted son. Why was he so obedient and cute?
It was obvious that Fang Rao didn't know how to educate her child.
"I didn't want to see her today," Lin Mengya said. But Lin Mengya said, "I just want to inquire about some information. By the way, can you help me send a letter to her?"
Qinghu nodded and left with the letter she had written in advance.
Lin Mengya had agreed to meet him in the teahouse that they had met before.
However, she did not obediently return. Instead, she followed Xiao Yao's directions and arrived at a dilapidated residence in the west of the city.
She looked around to make sure no one was around and knocked on the door.
After a while, an old voice came from inside.
"Who is it?"
"Fourth Great Uncle, I am the daughter of your nephew, Xiao Ma. My father said that you are not well, so he asked me to come and visit you. "
The voice inside paused, and then a gap opened, revealing a face full of wrinkles.
"Pony? Which pony? "
Lin Mengya took out a faded golden hairpin from her bosom.
As soon as the man saw the golden hairpin, his eyes immediately widened.
"Oh, it's you. Come in!"
"Thank you, Fourth Great Uncle."
She dashed inside.
The old man vigilantly looked outside. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he immediately closed the door tightly.
"Child, let's talk inside."
The old man's attitude towards her was very warm. She nodded and followed the old man into the house.
It did not look like the inside was dilapidated.
The outside was just as shabby. It seemed that the old man was living a good life.
"Child, what is your relationship with my young master?"
The old man asked in a low voice impatiently.
No one knew that he used to be a servant of the Huo family.
After Fang Rao married into the family, because he liked an old steward of the Fang family, Fang Rao let him become a member of the Fang family.
Thanks to this, he was able to protect his wife and child when Bu Ren and his maternal grandparents were being punished.
However, over the years, he had been living in seclusion and did not dare to be too ostentatious.
Moreover, both of them were loyal, so the old man's family became Huo Xiao's "secret agents" in the Fang family.
"Brother Huo and I are good friends. Before I left, he gave me your address and told me that you can provide me with some inside information about the Fang family."
The old man could not help but feel a little ashamed.
"The two of us are useless, and we can't help Young Master."
"Please don't say that. Sometimes, information is more valuable than gold." She said seriously.
The old man sighed and poured her a cup of hot tea.
"Miss, what do you want to know?"
Lin Mengya thought for a moment and then asked, "I want to know the real situation of the Fang family these years. Didn't the Fang family cheat the Huo family of a large sum of money? Why didn't they develop? "
That day, a mere thousand taels of silver was enough to steal the Fang family's steward's soul.
No matter how greedy they were, they should not be so inexperienced.
"The Fang family? Ha, they squandered that money a long time ago. Also, the Zhao family must have taken a lot of it! "
The old man could not help but show some sarcasm on his face when he mentioned this.
Back then, the old man wanted to marry his wife no matter what, so he did not hesitate to empty his family's assets.
However, the Huo family was at its peak at that time.
There weren't many clans in the aboriginals that could compare to the Huo Family.
It could be said that the Huo family's rapid decline was directly related to this wealth.
"The Zhao family?" She felt a little confused.
"But didn't Aunt Fang marry into the Zhao family later?"
The old man could not help but lose his temper at the mention of that.
"That was a trap set up by the Zhao family and the Fang family! I only found out later that Madam was already engaged to the elder of the Zhao family. After the Fang Family got the money, the Zhao Family reported this matter to the Elders Guild.
Ha, they colluded long ago and took advantage of the fact that Master and the others were outsiders, so they took Madam away!
My poor young master, he lost his family just like that! These people, they deserve to die! "
The old man could not help but burst into tears at the mention of his old master.
When Madam and Master were separated, he and his wife became the messengers between them.
He thought that the Fang family would relent after a few years.
Who knew that the Huo family would be wiped out overnight, and Madam remarried.
He hated it, but was powerless to do anything. He could only secretly look for opportunities to avenge his old master.
However, he did not expect to meet his young master, who had lost his wits.
He was the one who sent his young master back, who had already fainted. He was also the one who promised his young master that he would come to the Fang family to seek justice in the future.
However, that day seemed to be far away in the indefinite future.
"I see."
Lin Mengya sighed.
Huo Xiao's father was really affectionate.
It was a pity that their true love became a weakness that others could use against them.
She could imagine that the Fang family coveted it.
They were willing to sell their daughter in exchange for three feet of wealth. How tempting was that?
But could the Huo family, who could create such wealth, really not be able to protect themselves?
There must be some unknown inside story behind the massacre of the family back then.
"By the way, does Aunt Fang go to the Huo family every time she goes back to the Fang family? Did the Zhao family agree to this? "
This was also one of the things that she found strange.
After all, no normal person would see his wife thinking about another man every day, right?
But speaking of this, the old man felt a little sorry.
"In fact, Madam was forced. She couldn't stand it after she got married and wanted to kill herself. Later, the Zhao family and the Fang family had no choice but to allow her to go to the Huo family once a year. However, at this time every year, the Fang family has to send a large amount of money to the Zhao family to appease them. "
The old man only had hatred for the Fang family and the Zhao family.
He was only full of sympathy for Madam, who was equally pitiful.
"Does the Fang family clean the old house of the Huo family every time?"
As soon as she finished asking, the old man interrupted her anxiously.
"How dare those bastards of the Fang family touch the Huo family's house? No, I have to kill them! "
The old man was about to go berserk, but Lin Mengya stopped him.
"No! Uncle, if you want to avenge the Huo family, you'd better not be impulsive! "
The old man was still gritting his teeth in anger.
"Bastards! If the Fang family still had any conscience, they should be haunted by nightmares day and night! Tell me, young lady, what did they do to the house? "
Lin Mengya observed carefully and felt that the old man was not only worried about the Huo family's old house.
This was their secret, and it was not good for her to probe.
She could only put it in another way. At the very least, they would protect the secret of the Huo family's old house from those people.
"They didn't do anything because we are temporarily living there. But don't worry, I won't let them destroy the Huo family's old house. Brother Huo said that he would come over in a while. At least until then, I will guard the Huo family's old house. "
Hearing her words, the old man hesitated.
After a long time, he said in a low voice, "Those useless things in the front yard don't matter. But the old master and the old master's memorial tablets are in the backyard. I don't want anyone to disturb their peace."
Lin Mengya could hear that the old man also had concerns.
But Huo Xiao gave her this address, which showed that he trusted her absolutely.
She didn't ask any more questions and just promised the old man, "Okay, I got it. No one will disturb the Huo family's master's soul."
The old man reminded her again and again, and Lin Mengya agreed.
After that, she asked a few more questions and left.
According to the previous agreement, she rushed to the teahouse.
At this time, Qinghu had just arrived.
"Go! The Fang family is going to seal the city! "
He said in a low voice, tugging at her sleeve and walking away.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya's silver needles could change the direction of the muscles on their faces. They turned into two inconspicuous faces in a flash.
Sure enough, there were already two notices posted at the city gate, and the two faces they had seen earlier were drawn on them.
As for the several fierce-looking Fang Clan guards, they were carefully comparing them one by one.
"This is not it. Go! Those over there, stand properly for this daddy! "
The guards worked very hard.
What a joke, these two murderers hurt the young master of the Zhao family.
If they were blamed by the old master, they would not be able to compensate with their heads!
Soon, it was Lin Mengya and Qinghu's turn.
"Stop!"
