Chapter 21 The old man who can’t be driven away.

"Zou Xing is dead?"

In the Tian family's mansion, Tian Feiyan's eldest brother Tian Cong heard the servant's report and looked at the bamboo slip in his hand. The face of the man in his early twenties was a little surprised.

"Sir, there are more than ten people in our group, and not one of them is alive!"

The servant nodded.

At this moment, Tian Cong, who was dressed in the official uniform of Qi State, put away the bamboo slips and quietly made a fist with one hand under his wide cuffs.

Zou Xing was a chess piece that his father planned to place in the Qin Kingdom. Now that Zou Xing has been killed, it has undoubtedly disrupted his father's previous plans.

Who on earth is so brave and dares to kill people in officialdom?

"You go down first!"

Tian Cong said.

Upon hearing this, the servants bowed and turned around to retreat.

In the study, Tian Cong's expression gradually became gloomy and he was a little confused.

Who on earth is so big but dares to come out and cause trouble at this time?

Thinking that his father had been planning for Zou Xing for a long time, he never expected that Zou Xing would be killed at this most critical moment.

Tian Cong turned his head, looked out the window, sighed, and then left the study.

After a while.

In the cool room of the Tian Mansion, the maids of the Tian Mansion saw Tian Cong and quickly gave way.

"grown ups!"

"grown ups!!"

At this moment, the servants and maids lowered their heads.

Tian Cong walked slowly past the servant's eyes.

In the pavilion, Tian Feiyan and Tian's father were enjoying the shade.

"Father!"

Tian Cong glanced at Yan'er, a smile appeared in his gloomy eyes, and then he saluted his father.

"What's the matter?"

Tian's father held a scroll of bamboo slips in the middle and looked at his eldest son. He obviously felt that the eldest son wanted to see him for something.

Tian Cong didn't answer in a hurry. He glanced at Yan'er and hesitated for a moment.

"Father, Zou Xing was killed on the way!"

Tian Cong said, and then handed the bamboo slip in his hand to his father.

As the elder brother, he didn't want his little sister to hear this, after all, she was still young. But thinking about what the little sister said two days ago, he finally decided to let her try to know some things.

So now, he did not hide anything and directly told the story about Zou Xing's murder.

When Tian's father heard Tian Cong's words, he couldn't help but frown slightly. After taking the bamboo slip, he slowly opened it.

"Father, would you like to order someone to investigate?"

Tian Cong said that he knew that now that Zou Xing was dead, all his father's plans in the past would be in vain.

He also wanted to know who would kill Zou Xing at this time.

"No need."

Tian's father looked at the bamboo slips without raising his head and said in a calm tone.

At this moment, Tian's father had already roughly guessed who had done it. If the eldest son was allowed to pursue the investigation, the dog might jump over the wall if he got anxious.

Although it is a pity, Zou Xing is dead. There is no need to go to war over a dead man and make people in the Qi court panic.

More importantly, the King of Qi had never quite agreed with his previous plans and was worried about offending the State of Qin.

"Send the bamboo slips to Tian Xian's mansion."

Tian's father handed the bamboo slips to the servant beside him and gave instructions.

"yes!"

When the servant heard this, he took the bamboo slips and turned around to leave the pavilion.

"Tian Xian?"

Tian Cong murmured and looked at his father.

He knew that his father's words must have deep meaning, and it was very likely that his father already knew that the person who did it was Tian Xian.

Thinking of this, Tian Cong finally understood why his father asked him not to pursue the case any further.

This matter was inherently shady. If it was really Tian Xian, then his father really couldn't take action against Tian Xian because of Zou Xing's death.

After all, after Tian Xian, there was still Prime Minister Hou Sheng.

"Miss!"

At this time, a servant came to the little Loli.

Seeing this, the little Loli nodded and then stood up.

"Father, eldest brother, Yan'er leaves first!"

Little Loli said to Tian's father and Tian Cong, and then quickly ran towards the pavilion.

Looking at Tian Feiyan's back and seeing this scene, Tian's father and Tian Cong couldn't help but smile and shake their heads.

"Father, why does Yan'er suddenly want to study medicine these days? Some time ago, many famous doctors were invited to the house. Do you want to ask the servants around Yan'er?"

Tian Cong smiled and said to Father Tian.

During this period, my younger sister Yan'er seemed to be possessed by a demon. Not to mention the original medical skills in the mansion, even the medical skills hidden in the academy, were all brought back to the mansion by Yan'er.

This is really weird.

"No need, as a father I don't want Yan'er to hold grudges anymore! Besides, studying medicine is not a bad thing, as long as Yan'er likes it."

Tian's father glanced at Tian Cong angrily. Although he was very curious, he thought that Yan'er brought a servant to him and asked him why Shui Yan suddenly left to join his distant relatives and whether it had something to do with him.

It was then that Tian's father discovered that he had always underestimated Yan'er's intelligence.

After all, that servant went behind Yan'er's back and told them about Yan'er. Only he and Tian Cong knew about it.

Apparently Yan'er was careful and noticed something strange about the servant after the man left, so she thought of him.

Now that Yan'er's anger has finally subsided, if he, the father, is still studying medicine now and has to secretly investigate behind his back, then Yan'er may really hate his father.

"Wooden hairpin! Come here and see the exquisite wooden hairpin!"

"There are only two insect skins! Excellent insect skins!!"

On the streets in a city, there are busy cars and pedestrians coming and going in an endless stream. With vendors on both sides of the street shouting hard, many pedestrians will stop and watch when passing by.

And among the crowd.

A young man carrying a package looked hopeless.

Behind him, there was an old man with white hair.

"I'm about to sink my boat and cross the Zhuo River! Don't follow me!"

The one who spoke was on his way to Shuiyan in Qin State.

Looking at the bad old man in front of him, Shui Yan looked helpless.

After explaining the matter that day, Zou Xing's ghost disappeared on the third day.

I thought I could go on my way in peace, but not long after, I met a strange old man again.

"Listen to my advice, the Qin State is like a tiger, with fame and wealth, but nothing more than clouds. The Qin State is by no means a safe place, so don't go!"

The old man, dressed in shabby cloth, followed Shui Yan and kept persuading him.

The old man's words made the passers-by on the street couldn't help but look over.

Feeling the doubtful eyes from all around, the old man looked indifferent. However, Shui Yan was already a little broken at the moment, looking at the old man with white hair who looked to be over sixty years old.

"Let's go! Please!"

Shui Yan looked at the old man.

This was already the fifth day, and for the whole five days, the old man had been following him, nagging him not to go to Qin.

He was very curious as to which old man this was from, and whether anyone had taken it away!

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have picked up the wine bottle for you. Let me go!"

Shui Yan was crying and looked a little hopeless.

At this moment, Shui Yan looked at the old man who was like dog-skin plaster and couldn't drive him away, and felt extremely regretful.
