Chapter 1103 Five tigers go out, thousands of troops

So far, Xia Houzheng's attempt to set the blame has completely failed.

In the past, he misjudged him. This second child is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He usually pretends to be indifferent to the world and is more obedient than anyone else, but he is insidious and cunning in his bones.

Throughout the whole process, he didn't say a word to justify himself, and he didn't even take any credit for himself, and all pushed it to the two elders.

But the result is that the adoptive father simply forgot to question him, but became more and more sure of his loyalty and ability.

Affirmation, doubt is self-defeating.

But he got himself into trouble, how could he be so aggrieved?

Xia Houzheng, who had been severely reprimanded, came out in a panic.

Xie Jinnian didn't leave, as if he was waiting for him.

"Are you waiting to see me laugh?"

Xia Houzheng said angrily.

In the past, he might have pretended to be magnanimous as his elder brother, but tonight the two of them were torn apart, and there was no need for him to whitewash the peace.

Xie Jinnian smiled: "Do you still have to wait to see big brother's jokes? I've seen enough just now."

This is the first time that the second child speaks to himself with such sharp words, making no secret of his disrespect to his elder brother.

Xia Houzheng squinted his eyes: "Do you think that you are qualified to yell at me if you have taken refuge in Baihua Palace? Don't be fooled by someone and not know it."

Xie Jinnian said calmly: "Brother, did I really provoke what happened tonight?"

Xia Houzheng choked.

But how could he admit his mistake?

There is a kind of person who only allows himself to bully others. Once others resist, it is unlawful.

Too overbearing to say anything.

Xie Jinnian is not a person who will argue with himself, and he will not argue with a stubborn person. For example, if you must convince the other party, it is obviously your fault, and it is my fault?

Xia Houzheng doesn't care what he thinks.

Every word he says has a purpose.

Xia Houzheng snorted coldly: "It's not very clever, but it's just relying on the righteous father to believe in you."

All Xie Jinnian's rhetoric tonight would not be able to achieve that effect if it were any adopted son.

Because they don't have the personality of Xie Jinnian who has been indifferent to the world for so many years.

Xie Jinnian smiled: "Brother is right, but foster father trusts me the most, what should I do?"

Xia Houzheng clenched his fists tightly.

After getting rid of Xia Houyan, he thought he was only guarding against Yun Lin, and he didn't even pay attention to Mrs. Ru's son.

After all, it's so small, it doesn't matter whether it grows big or not.

After tonight, he realized that the second child is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Xie Jinnian didn't even say goodbye to his eldest brother, but turned around and walked away.

After Xia Houzheng returned to the courtyard, he called his confidant secret guard: "Keep an eye on Xia Houjin, and if he makes any movement, come and report to me immediately!"

"yes!"

In the afternoon, Xie Jinnian catches up on sleep in his room.

At nightfall, he went out, saying he was going to buy bird food.

Xie Jinnian loves to raise birds, and everyone in the family knows it.

But it's getting dark, what bird food should I buy?

Xia Houzheng always felt that something was wrong, so he asked the dark guard to continue to follow.

Half an hour later, the secret guard came back and replied: "Eldest son, the second son didn't go to buy bird food, he went to a brothel!"

Xia Houzheng asked: "Is it the Pavilion of Drunken Life and Dreams of Death?"

That's my uncle's territory.

The secret guard said: "No, it's another small brothel, the grade is very low, and all the people who go there are civilians. Moreover, the subordinates found that he changed his clothes, no different from ordinary islanders."

"Oh?" Xia Houzheng narrowed his eyes suspiciously, "The second child is a fastidious person, and he never goes to the place of fireworks. He thinks it is dirty, let alone the kind of place that is not popular... He didn't notice you, did he?"

"No!"

The dark guard said firmly, "However, Second Young Master is very cautious. He has two extremely powerful masters by his side. Several times... his subordinates almost lost him."

Xia Houzheng said coldly: "Sneaky, it's not a good thing to see."

At this time, another hidden guard came over: "Eldest Young Master, it's too bad, something happened to the Second Great Master!"

Xia Houyi's yard was flooded.

Someone set the fire, and there was still kerosene splashed on the window sill.

The place where the other party splashed was really dry and grassy, and it only needed a little kerosene to burn down two houses at the same time.

But what is strange is that so many masters didn't realize how the arsonist sneaked into the yard and how he left without a trace.

To make matters worse, Xia Houyi's treasure map is missing.

Because the fire burned too much, in order to prevent the treasure map from being burned, Xia Houyi had to order someone to move it.

It was obviously placed in another safe place, but in the blink of an eye, it was gone!

However, Xia Houyi never mentioned the treasure map to Xia Houzheng.

Xia Houzheng had no idea that the treasure map held by his adoptive father was a fake. Half of the real treasure map was in the hands of his uncle, and it was stolen tonight.

He thought that the other party simply wanted to burn his uncle to death.

Xia Houzheng's first reaction was that an acquaintance committed the crime.

Because only those who are familiar enough with the uncle's yard can know where is the most suitable place to burn.

When a person hates someone the most, it is easy to doubt that person, wishing to put all the bad things on him.

As for the motive, it was out of his consideration.

The hatred value of the second child in Xia Houzheng's heart seems to have surpassed that of Yunlin.

No other reason, Yun Lin is his own, and Xia Houzheng never won in the beginning.

The second child was stepped on by him all the time, and suddenly turned over, which made it even more difficult for him to accept.

In other words, he can regard Yun Lin as an opponent, but the second child is only worthy of being a humble dog.

Xia Houzheng said coldly: "Lead the way, I want to see if he is behind the scenes!"

In an unremarkable brothel, Xie Jinnian took the best room on the second floor.

However, it is still very simple and full of cheap cosmetics.

The bustard sent the oiran over, but Xie Jinnian didn't like it, so he asked the bustard to take her down, so she could dress up before coming back.

He spent a lot of money.

The bustard hurriedly went to prepare.

This dress lasted for more than an hour.

Ye Xun brought his own mats and tablecloths, and spread them cleanly for his son.

Xie Jinnian sat by the window, listening to the little song in the lobby for a while, as if enjoying it.

Ye Lang curled his lips: "It's much worse than the girl in Drunken Life Dreams Pavilion, not good-looking, not good-looking!"

Ye Xun: "You can shut up!"

Xie Jinnian smiled: "You like girls in Drunken Life, Dreams and Death Pavilion?"

Ye Lang said honestly: "Miss Liuying is not bad, but her social status is too high."

Xie Jinnian smiled and said, "Then earn money, and if you earn enough, go to Miss Liuying."

Ye Lang nodded: "Hey!"

Ye Xun gave his younger brother an elbow: "I don't know what kind of place the young master hates the most? If you dare to go, don't do it next to the young master!"

Ye Lang felt wronged: "Didn't you tell me to go?"

Xie Jinnian just smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly, a small parrot disguised as a crow rode its golden eagle car, circled down mightily and domineeringly, and landed firmly on the window sill.

The little crow jumped down majestically, flapping its little wings arrogantly.

The golden eagle put the parchment in its mouth on the table.

Xie Jinnian picked it up and took a look: "Is this my uncle's treasure map? I really got it."

The little crow is proud: "Hey!"

Five Tigers: Double votes, double birds!
