The moment Qin Xiao's figure appeared at the top of the stairs, the young Marquis couldn't help but take a step back, but behind him was the railing. Unless he jumped from the fifth floor, there was no way to retreat.
Qin Xiao's body was covered in blood, and he held a knife in his right hand, with blood dripping from the blade.
He raised his eyes and glanced over, passing over Xiaohou Ye and Jiang Qianxing, and finally landed on Qiuniang's face. He suddenly grinned. The young man's smile was like a spring breeze. Qiuniang's eye circles turned red, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
Qin Xiao did not go over immediately, but walked to the antique round table in the middle of the room, put the bloody sword on the table, sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one sip, and seemed to feel that his mouth was still a little dry.
He poured another glass, and after finishing it, he seemed to exhale with satisfaction.
Jiang Qianxing clenched his hands into fists and stared at Qin Xiao with a stern expression and did not act rashly.
However, the young Marquis couldn't help but leaned closer to Qiuniang.
Qin Xiao's terrifying strength made the young prince understand that he had done an extremely stupid thing today.
"Many years ago, an old man taught me how to get a foothold in this world." Qin Xiao sat on a chair and looked up at the young marquis and Jiang Qianxing in the outer corridor, and said calmly: "He told me that all the living beings in this world are like those in the sky.
Stars, everyone has their own way of living. In order to survive, everyone's way of living may not be wrong. But if a man wants to live upright, he only needs to remember four words, that is, clear distinction between grudges and grudges."
The corners of Xiao Houye's eyes twitched and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but no sound came out.
"When others treat you well, you should remember it in your heart, because in this world, there will never be too many people who treat you well. Everyone who treats you well should always remember that if there is a chance, treat them twice as much."
In return, because these people deserve it, you should treat them well." Qin Xiao said slowly: "But if someone wants to harm you, don't be polite. If someone doesn't want you to live, don't give him a chance to live.
Go down. Whether it is to repay a favor or to take revenge, don't have any fear. If you have decided to do something, you should do it without any scruples. Even if you are shattered to pieces, don't be afraid." He stared at the little marquis in brocade, with a hint of laughter at the corners of his lips.
Smiling slightly: "I will always remember what the old man said, and I will never forget it in this life."
Jiang Qianxing suddenly laughed, nodded and said, "The old man is right. Keeping grudges clear is indeed what a man should do."
Qin Xiao removed the letter from his arms, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away. Jiang Qianxing reached out and took it. Qin Xiao had already said: "There is a banquet in Qingyi Tower. I must arrive before Youshi. I'm already here."
"You have indeed arrived."
"But I still don't know, who is the noble person who invited me here?" Qin Xiao sat on the chair, calm as water: "Now that things have happened, it's time for the master to stand up."
Jiang Qianxing smiled and said: "I, Jiang Qianxing, sit in the Qingyi Hall. This post is from me, but it is the young Marquis who wants to meet Qin Lingli!"
"Little Marquis?" Qin Xiao's eyes fell on the little Marquis in Jinyi. The little Marquis concealed the panic in his heart and deliberately straightened his body. Thinking that Qiuniang was still in his hands, he still had some confidence and sneered: "Yes,
It’s me who wants to see you.”
Qin Xiaoruo has something

Thinking, he was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I just arrived in Kyoto, and I don't know how many marquises there are in Kyoto. It's just that I seem to have never met the young marquis. I don't know which young marquis you are from, and why you use such a method.
see me?"
"There are indeed many marquis in Kyoto." Jiang Qianxing said with a faint smile: "But I can guarantee that all the marquises in Kyoto City combined are not as noble as the Marquis of Huaiyang." He glanced at the young marquis, seemingly intentionally but unintentionally.
After looking at him, the young marquis frowned slightly. He didn't know whether it was because he was dissatisfied with Jiang Qianxing's exposure of his identity, or because Qin Xiao's attitude made him very unhappy.
"Marquis of Huaiyang?" Qin Xiao sighed: "I have never heard of it before."
Jiang Qianxing smiled and said: "You have never heard of the Prime Minister of Xiahou? The Marquis of Huaiyang is the youngest son of the Prime Minister!"
Qin Xiao was stunned. Seeing Qin Xiao's expression, the young Marquis of Huaiyang thought he was being restrained by his identity, so he snorted coldly and raised his head slightly.
Qin Xiao lowered his head and remained silent. The rain continued outside, and there was faint thunder in the sky. After a while, Qin Xiao nodded slightly, with a look of sudden realization: "I understand, so that's it!"
"What do you understand?" The young Marquis of Huaiyang frowned.
Qin Xiao smiled lightly and said: "There are a large number of remnant knives stored in the warehouse of the Ministry of War, involving three yamen. I have always been wondering, no one of these three yamen has the strength to carry out such an amazing thing in secret. Who is it?
He was planning behind the scenes and using the Sansi Yamen to embezzle military expenditures." Staring at the young Marquis of Huaiyang, he said: "Until just now, I still couldn't guess who the master behind the scenes was. Now I finally understand who is planning this behind the scenes.
Everything, of course, is for you, the young prince."
The corners of Huaiyang's young marquis' eyes twitched, and Qin Xiao sighed: "The Prime Minister has a high position in the court, and all the officials of the six yamen are respectful in front of him, not to mention the chief officers of the three yamen. It's just that
The Prime Minister is highly respected and the pillar of the empire, so of course it is impossible and he would not bother to do such a thing. The Young Marquis is the son of the Prime Minister, and the officials in charge of the Sansi Yamen will certainly not dare to offend the Young Marquis. If the Young Marquis lets them do it,
Something they dare not not do because of the Prime Minister."
"Qin Xiao, what evidence do you have that I have embezzled military expenditures?" The young Marquis of Huaiyang became a little anxious and said angrily: "You are spitting on others."
Qin Xiao said lightly: "There are not many civil and military people in the entire dynasty who have the strength and the courage to plan the case of embezzlement of military expenditures. Of course, the young marquis is one of the few people. Maybe someone has noticed this matter.
But because they are afraid of the identity of the young marquis, no one dares to get into trouble. One more thing would be worse than one less thing, and they will become blind." He shook his head and sneered: "The case of embezzlement of military expenditures was only exposed yesterday. Today,
You are going to put me to death. The reason is very simple. The young Marquis knows that the exposure of the Mo corruption case is related to me, so he hates me deeply and wants to kill me and then be quick."
The young Marquis of Huaiyang stared at Qin Xiao with a cold face, and finally said: "Yes, so what if everything was done by me? Do you really think that the saint will punish me for this? But you actually ruined me.
You deserve to die for making this matter known to everyone!"
"I can understand that you want to kill me." A slight smile appeared on Qin Xiao's lips: "But the young prince of the Xiahou family actually kidnapped a boat girl and used an innocent woman to force me to surrender. This
The method is really unflattering." He looked the young Marquis up and down and sighed: "Now I suddenly doubt my own judgment again."
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"What's the meaning?"
Qin Xiao said calmly: "It's easy to say it is easy to talk about it, but it is not easy to do it. It requires not only extraordinary courage, but also careful deployment and superb skills.
But the young Marquis has courage, but his intelligence and skills are really worrying. Even when you do bad things, you are so clueless and full of flaws, how can you control such a detailed matter? Using the gang in the market to kill me, this
The method is really not clever, I am very curious, is there any expert guidance behind Mr. Xiao Hou’s corruption?"
"Qin Xiao, you shouldn't have come to Kyoto." The young Marquis smiled coldly, moved closer to Qiuniang, and said, "Aren't you here for her? Now her life and death are in the hands of this Marquis.
" He grabbed the big knife from the hands of a strong man in green clothes and put the blade on Qiuniang's neck, and said sternly: "I can kill her with one knife right now."
Qin Xiao seemed calm and composed, and said with a smile: "Little Marquis, you know that I knew that Qingyi Tower would set a trap today, why did I dare to come here? The reason is very simple, I didn't want to leave here alive today."
When the little marquis was waiting, Qin Xiao raised his hand, took the bloody sword from the table, and said slowly: "You are the marquis of the Xiahou family. You are born rich, and every toe is worth more than little people like us.
There are so many, our two lives should be no different from two ants on the ground in the eyes of the Marquis."
"Your humble lives are indeed worthless!" the young Marquis sneered.
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "So it is more than worth it to exchange our two lives for the life of the little Marquis. By the way, there is also Uncle Jiang from Qingyi Hall, and your life is even more worth it."
Okay. Little Marquis, you can take action now. As long as you kill her, I guarantee that you and Uncle Jiang will be thrown from the fifth floor. Although the Prime Minister will definitely kill me to avenge you, but I
I have no regrets about exchanging two of your lives for one cheap life." He looked at Qiuniang and asked: "Sister Qiuniang, are you afraid of him?"
Qiuniang is so smart. She knows that if Qin Xiao really doesn't care about her life, she will not go into the dragon pool and tiger's den alone. At this time, she is nothing more than threatening each other with the young marquis. As long as she shows the slightest fear, she will not be afraid of Qin Xiao.
It will be a big disadvantage if you are free.
Her eyes became firm and she showed no fear. Instead, she turned to look at the young marquis and looked directly into the eyes of the young marquis of Huaiyang. Although she could not speak, her eyes clearly said, I am not afraid of you.
"Little Marquis, have you seen that?" Qin Xiao laughed heartily, pointed at Qiuniang, then tapped the little Marquis with his finger, and said mockingly: "She is not afraid of you, she really is not afraid of you.
!”
The young Marquis of Huaiyang was so angry that he wished he could kill Qiuniang with just one blow, but he also knew in his heart that if he really attacked Qiuniang, the little monster in front of him would definitely not let him go, and the Qingyi Tower would not let him go.
It became his own burial place.
Jiang Qianxing remained silent for a long time, then finally said: "Qin Xiao, please take me away. This is the end of the matter. Let's just pretend that nothing happened."
"Nothing happened?" Qin Xiao smiled disdainfully, stared at Jiang Qianxing and said: "Uncle Jiang, there is something I almost forgot to ask you. Not long ago, several assassins attacked me in the middle of the night, but I don't know if they had anything to do with you.
Relationship? We are all men. Don’t have the guts to admit the things we have done. I just want to know an honest answer!”
