Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 353 Black face also has love

   "We...change..."

It was not Xiao Mingli who spoke, but Xiao Zhiping, the second son of Xiao Mingli. He took a few deep breaths, walked in front of Li Xin, and bent towards Li Xin and said, "Master Li, it is our Xiao family's fault, we are willing to change our surname. ."

  Xiao Mingli glared at his second son.

  Xiao Zhiping was unmoved, and continued: "I just hope that Lord Li can stop here... In any case, we are connected by blood. Since Lord Hou is an official in the court, he has to take care of his own reputation."

   "I forced your family to change their surnames, and the reputation in the court would be bad, but I don't care about that."

   Li Xin glanced at Xiao Zhiping lightly.

   "Your Xiao family, from now on, it will be changed to Xiao of Grass and Trees."

   "If you can't rule, I'll come back in a few days."

  Xiao Zhiping lowered his head and said, "Thank you... Hou Ye, I am the master, I am the master..."

   The word Xiao has the same pronunciation as the word Xiao, which will not cause much impact, but is only distinguished from the word Xiao.

  Li Xin carried the green pheasant sword and walked to the door of the Xiao family's ancestral hall, and with one sword cut the bolt of the ancestral hall in half.

   Then he looked back at the trembling Xiao family and took a deep breath.

   "All kinds of things in the past have been cut in two. The Xiao family's life and support, my mother has suffered for more than ten years, and it should be paid off."

   "It was you who kicked your mother out of the house at the beginning. Since you have become a monk, from that day onwards, you and I have nothing to do with each other. If you still want to be entangled, Li Xinjian will not spare you!"

   After saying this, Li Xin returned his sword to the sheath.

   He turned his head and glanced at Xiao Mingli, who was slumped on the ground, and then squatted down.

   "Master Xiao, I didn't kill anyone today, for my mother's sake."

   "It's not that I haven't killed anyone."

   The youngest Marquis of Jing'an in the dynasty turned and left the Xiao family compound.

   Mu Ying and the others looked back at everyone in the Xiao family, then turned and walked away.

   Xiao Mingli stood up tremblingly from the ground after the Yulin guards were all gone.

   He gave his second son a slap in the face.

   "Forget the ancestors!"

  Xiao Zhiping knelt on the ground and lowered his head: "Father, is the surname more important, or the clan?"

   The second son of the Xiao family trembled.

   "Father, my son can't read, and in his early years he had killed people. You know that. Those men in black just now have basically killed everyone!"

   "My son can see that as long as the young man said a word, they would kill our Xiao family without blinking!"

  Xiao Zhiping kowtowed: "Father, he was thinking of Qinglan, so he didn't do it, you must not annoy him any more..."

  Xiao Mingli was silent for a long time, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Prepare the sedan chair, this old man is going to the county office."

   The origin of that young man is unknown to me, but Magistrate Zhou definitely knows.

  The old man led his second son, Xiao Zhiping, to the Qiyang county government office, and asked to see Zhou Xianzun.

  The Xiao family is a famous squire in Qiyang County, and he can still see the magistrate.

   After waiting for half an hour, Zhou Xianzun finally took time out of his busy schedule to meet Xiao Mingli.

  Xiao Mingli said to Zhou Yang: "The student has seen the county honoree."

   He was born as a scholar, no matter how old he is, he should call himself a student when he sees the magistrate.

   Zhou Xianzun asked with a smile: "What does Xiao Lao want to see in this county?"

  Xiao Mingli took out two pieces of gold from his sleeve, handed them over slowly, then took a deep breath and asked, "The student wants to ask the county magistrate about someone."

  …………

   After a while, Xiao Mingli walked out of the county office, his face was pale.

  Marquis of Jing'an, Minister of Military Affairs, Hero of the Dragon...

   Really climbed to this position from a wild child within a year...

   He regrets it now, very much.

   After all these years, even if he treats his daughter kindly, things will not be as troubled as they are today. Maybe the Xiao family can use Li Xin to become a family in the capital...

  Old man Xiao shook his body, almost unable to stand.

  Xiao Zhiping quickly stepped forward to support his father.

  Xiao Mingli's voice was shaking.

   "Go... go home."

   "Call the clan elders, change...change the surname...!"

  The Xiao family can't afford to offend.

Xiao Zhiping also listened to the words of the county magistrate just now, he supported his father and comforted: "Father does not need to be too desperate, he... no matter what, he is also our blood relative, just like what Zhou county said, he He has just ascended to a high position, and he needs to employ people around him. Let's not annoy him for now, he will use people in a few years, and maybe he will find our relatives..."

  Xiao Mingli turned pale and shook his head.

   "Broken mirrors are hard to round, our Xiao family... we missed a ladder to the sky..."

   If you can climb from the small county town of Qiyang County to the capital, then it can indeed be said to be one step to the sky.

  Xiao Zhiping sighed silently and said nothing more.

  ………………

   In the Qi family mansion on the other side, Li Xin was drinking tea in the backyard.

   It is spring now, and the backyard of Qi's family is full of flowers and the cool breeze is very pleasant.

   Muying sat opposite Li Xin, added a cup of tea to Li Xin, and smiled: "I have known you for so long, I have never seen you so angry."

   The two of them, on the face of it, have a relationship between superiors and subordinates. In front of them, Mu Ying called Li Xin as Lord Hou, and the two of them were much more casual.

  Li Xin took a sip of the tea and said slowly, "I don't know why, but I'm so angry."

   His temperament is still very peaceful. Even when Mrs. Yu burned down the small wooden house in the capital, Li Xin didn't lose his temper like that. This time, he was really angry.

  Mu Ying also took a sip of tea and exhaled slowly: "Don't say it, you are quite scary when you are angry. Even I was scared just now."

   Li Xin was amused by his words.

   "Brother Mu, how could you be frightened by this tycoon from Shu?"

   "No way, I'm getting old."

Li Xin and Mu Ying talked and laughed for a few words, and his heart became a lot more peaceful. Suddenly he remembered something and smiled at Mu Ying: "Speaking of the Qi family we are living in, there is a very beautiful daughter at home. That Master Qi is probably interesting, but I still have to marry a princess, so I have no luck, so brother Mu, would you like to meet him?"

   Muying shook her head.

   "No more."

  Li Xin asked in surprise, "Why?"

   Mu Ying is two years older than Li Xin, and he has already reached the age of marrying a wife and having children. Moreover, he is now separated from the Mu family in Shu County, and he is about to open his own branches.

   This black-faced man looked solemn and said to Li Xin: "There is a girl waiting for me in the mountain nest in Shu County."

   Li Xin rolled his eyes at him.

   "You are so dark, does anyone still like it?"

   Mu Ying was a little unconvinced.

   "Hou Jingde is darker than me, he is about to hug his grandson!"

Li Xin laughed and patted Mu Ying's shoulder: "That's right, Brother Mu, don't worry, I'll send someone in a few days to help you bring that girl to the capital, and let your Mu family spread out in the capital. leaf."

   Mu Ying shook her head and sighed: "I'm afraid her parents won't agree."

   "Then go grab it."

  Li Xin stood up and said with a laugh: "You are the commander of Yulin Weiyou, a high-ranking official from the fifth rank, she will only live a good life with you, and she will not be wronged."

   After speaking, Li Xin was about to leave.

   Mu Ying woke up from her daze, Li Xin had already walked a long way.

   "Where are you going?"

  Li Xin didn't turn his head back.

   "Go to Qishan and see how my mother's grave is being repaired."
