Xiao Yan's study is very bright and spacious.

Lu Jia was not polite, and sat directly on the chair behind the table, without a gesture at all, with his legs resting on the big pear wood table, his feet dangling slightly, and his eyes surveyed the room.

There are many books in various categories.

There are no antique calligraphy and paintings, but there are two famous swords.

There was an unfinished book on the desk case, Lu Jia picked it up casually, and a book of local gossip, Xiao Yan also marked it, the handwriting was better than people.

creak~
Lu Jia lifted his eyelids and saw Xiao Yan coming in with blood on his clothes.

Seeing Lu Jia's sitting posture, Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then closed the door behind his back, snorted, "You don't see the outside, my pear wood table costs 3000 taels of silver a piece, Thirteen wiped the table for fear of bumping it, you should go directly to it." foot."

Lu Jia said frankly, "It's not me who spends money, so why do I feel bad?"

Xiao Yan:.
Lu Jia casually threw Xiao Yan's jade pendant on the table, "This jade pendant, everyone who follows you knows that this jade pendant is important?"

Xiao Yan stepped forward, picked up the jade pendant and hung it up, "Did they stop you?"

"Isn't this nonsense, the dignified son of the Marquis of Rong'an, the study of Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, anyone can enter?"

Xiao Yan said with a smile: "The jade pendant is the only thing my mother left me. I always hang it on my body. No one is allowed to touch it. Everyone who follows me knows it."

"Why is no one allowed to touch?"

Xiao Yan lowered his eyes halfway, looked at the idle Lu Jia, was silent for a moment, and said: "Because it's important, I'm afraid that others will miss it." '

Lu Jia raised his brows lightly, "Then you are not afraid of running into a thief on the street and losing it?"

"No." Xiao Yan said.

He said with certainty, Lu Jia raised his lips, "So confident?"

"The thieves and beggars in the capital are all raised by me." Xiao Yan confessed.

Lu Jia suddenly understood the meaning.

The so-called black and white have intertwined with each other since ancient times, but that's how officials support bandits, bandits harm people, people sue officials, officials arrest bandits, and so on.

Turning the corner of his mouth, Lu Jia didn't speak.

Xiao Yan took a few steps back and leaned against the bookshelf next to him, "What's the matter? Do you think I'm unworthy of virtue as an official?"

"Then are you worthy?" Lu Jia looked at him.

Looking at each other, Xiao Yan laughed at himself, "I am worthy of my conscience."

"Really? Master Xiao still has a conscience?"

"Otherwise, why can you sit here and talk to me instead of being hung in the interrogation room of the Ministry of Criminal Justice." Xiao Yan crossed his arms and said calmly.

Lu Jia suddenly laughed, "Does this mean that Mr. Xiao is going to be honest with me today?"

"That depends on how sincere you are."

"My sincerity depends entirely on whether Mr. Xiao is willing to tell you about the jade pendant. If you tell me, I will tell you everything you want to know. If you don't tell me, there is no way."

"The jade pendant was given to me by my mother the day before she died. She told me three times, telling me to hang this jade pendant on the most conspicuous place on my body, but not to lose it. If someone finds it with this jade pendant I, I want to ask him, is he from Qianzhou? He said he was from Huzhou, so I can trust that person, if it doesn’t match, it’s not right.”

Lu Jia originally thought that Xiao Yan would delay for a while or simply not to speak.

I didn't expect not only to say it, but also to say it so happily.

It was a surprise.

Twisting his fingers, Lu Jia's dangling feet stopped, and said, "I don't match your password."

"I know."

"Then why are you still telling me?"

"Because I want to know other things about my mother, you must know, right?"

After saying this, they met each other again.

In Xiao Yan's eyes, there was intense anger and grief. Although suppressed, the effect was not very good. It was completely a flame that could be ignited with just a little flame.

"Before your mother gave you this jade pendant, have you seen this jade pendant?" Lu Jia asked after staring at each other for a while.

Xiao Yan shook his head, "No, the first time I took it, she gave it to me directly at night. When I wanted to ask again, she had already started to have a difficult labor. When she finally gave birth to the baby, I hadn't had time to go in and see her. She died."

Xiao Yan's voice was not calm when he said these words.

The eyes were bloodshot, with tears, but they held back and did not meander down.

"I, when I was 15 years old, I was almost bullied to death by the Lu family. At that time, I fell ill in the Zhuangzi. None of the servants in the Zhuangzi were willing to call me a doctor. The house I lived in did not burn charcoal, and the wind in the cold winter months passed through. Window paper windows blow in.

At that time, I thought I was going to die.

A man came in the middle of the night.

The man took me away.

I was sick and groggy, and when I opened my eyes again, I arrived at the barracks of the Pingwei Army.

I stayed with that man in Ping Weijun's barracks for two days, and I accidentally saw that old Ping Weijun had a jade pendant that was exactly the same as mine. "

Lu Jia looked at Xiao Yan, his heart rolling in shock.

That snowy night, the person who went to the barracks with the scarred man turned out to be Xiao Yan!

"Then the old general didn't see the jade pendant on your waist? Didn't you ask anything?" Lu Jia said.

Xiao Yan shook his head, "At that time, my jade pendant fell into the hands of a servant of Zhuangzi, the old general didn't know that I had a jade pendant exactly like his, and before I had time to ask him what was going on with that jade pendant, he went to the battlefield .”

After a pause, Xiao Yan probably wanted to pull out a smile, but he felt too uncomfortable in his heart. He couldn't pull out this smile no matter what, so he just gave up.

"That was the first and last time I saw him. Later, even though he also entered Beijing, I happened to be out of the capital at the time. And then at the beginning of this year, the entire Pingwei army was wiped out."

Xiao Yan took a deep breath.

"I don't know who you are, what you want to do after killing so many people, what you want to do when you come to Beijing, but let me just say, if you come here because of the Pingwei Army, no matter what you want to do, I will Willing to help you."

Lu Jia suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and smiled lightly, "You, old general Hepingwei, to put it bluntly, but just a one-sided relationship, do you want to help me just for the same jade pendant?"

"So, you are from Pingwei Army?" Xiao Yan asked back.

"I'm just making an analogy." Lu Jia said.

Xiao Yan stared at Lu Jia, "Aren't you from Pingwei Army?"

"Is it your turn to ask me to answer now? It seems that Mr. Xiao still has something to say, for example, why would you help me if I am a member of the Pingwei Army?"

Xiao Yan twisted his fingers, and the pulp of his thumb kept rubbing the pulp of his index finger, as if he was playing a game in his heart. For a moment, he said: "Because I have always suspected that my mother is the real daughter of General Pingwei, Concubine Ning no.

And today, I just got verified.

I for this reason, is there a problem? "

"The man who took you away that night had a scar running through his face, didn't he?"

When Lu Jia asked in one sentence, Xiao Yan was stunned, "How do you know?"

"Who is he?"
