Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: The Runaway Aunt

"I, I..."

The little girl's face flushed instantly, and she became even more embarrassed when her family saw her. Her beautiful almond eyes were covered with a layer of mist, sparkling in the candlelight.

Although I like my sister more, it's quite fun to bully this little sister who can cry for a long time after being punched... Xu Qian'an thought.

Xu Lingyue puffed her cheeks, raised her head like a broken jar, and looked at Xu Qian'an: "I just want to know how big brother solved the case from the files."

Xu Xinnian, who pretended that he didn't exist, couldn't pretend anymore and raised his head silently.

He claimed to be smart and had read the files. He studied them repeatedly but had no clue. But that day, when Xu Qian'an asked him for the files, he solved the case immediately.

Aunt didn't express her opinion, but the chopsticks she was using to pick up the dishes stopped and stopped chewing the food.

"There is no perfect crime in the world. Except for coincidence, any man-made case can find clues." Xu Qian'an said.

Xu Xinnian straightened his back and listened carefully.

"First, I found out the problem of tax silver by the weight of the silver during the transportation of tax silver..."

Xu Qian'an repeated his reasoning process.

The more Xu Xinnian listened, the brighter his eyes became, as if he had been answered by a teacher in a private school.

He clenched his hands under the table into fists.

After Xu Qian'an finished speaking, Xu Erlang had a calm expression on his face: "Not bad."

Xu's Erlang has always been inconsistent with his words, and his family has long been accustomed to it.

The beautiful sixteen-year-old sister lowered her head and hid the admiration in her eyes.

Xu Pingzhi slapped the table excitedly and cursed in slang: "So that's how it is, I didn't even notice it."

Xu Xinnian glanced at Laozi and thought, it's strange that you can find it.

Xu Qian'an glanced at his second uncle and remembered a sentence: But Laozi is uneducated, and he can travel the world with a word of "fuck".

Second uncle is a warrior, and his education level is limited to writing his own name, and it is written crookedly, like chicken feet.

"You are a rough man, you can't even weigh?" Aunt dissed her husband.

Xu Qi'an asked: "Did they wear hand guards when they counted the silver?"

Second uncle Xu recalled for a moment. Surprised: "It seems that they did, how did you know."

It's really metallic sodium? Xu Qi'an looked at him dimly: "Why didn't you say it in the confession?"

"It's an insignificant little thing, what can I say." At this point, Second uncle Xu cursed: "It's all because of the surname Lu who handed me a pot of osmanthus honey at that time. You also know that my second uncle's alcohol tolerance is unfathomable, so I drank a little greedily and didn't care too much about other things. If you didn't say it, I would have forgotten it."

The most feared is a pig teammate like you... If this is on the file, I can analyze the truth of the case faster, why bother to kill so many brain cells... Xu Qi'an sighed.

In the eyes of the second uncle, this might be the same as what clothes others wear or what hairstyle they have.

He didn't realize that this was a suspicious point worth noting.

"So it seems that the person surnamed Lu mentioned by my father is most likely the one who framed my father." Xu Xinnian pointed out sharply.

"It's all my fault that I was confused and almost harmed the whole family." Xu Pingzhi suddenly felt a little sad: "Ning Yan, your father and I fought back to back in the "Shanhai Battle" and said that we would survive together and rise to prominence together."

"I survived, but your father died in the battle. At that time, I thought that if I wanted to live a better life, I had to change my way of living."

I can't be cannon fodder anymore.

"So I let Nian'er go to school and chose to let you practice martial arts. In fact, I still have selfish motives."

Aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Yes, my heart is with my nephew."

More than one hundred taels of silver a year.

"From what aunt said, Erlang is not his biological father?" Xu Qian'an swore that this was not what he wanted to say, but his instinct surpassed his brain.

The original owner had a lot of resentment towards his aunt.

"You little bad guy, what is your intention in saying such things?" Aunt slammed the table in anger.

Xu Erlang and Xu Lingyue lowered their heads to eat, as if they were used to it.

Uncle Xu's scalp numbed: "Enough, I finally got my life back, and I have to listen to you quarreling, I might as well die."

Everyone lowered their heads to eat.

Speaking of the battle of Shanhai, Xu Qian'an had some impression.

The world is vast and boundless, and the Dafeng Dynasty dominates the Central Plains, claiming to be the orthodoxy of the world.

Dafeng established the country with military power and ruled the country with Confucianism. At its peak, all nations came to pay tribute. So far, the country has lasted for 600 years.

Twenty years ago, Dafeng joined forces with the countries in the Western Regions to fight the Cao Manzi in the north and the Nan Manzi in the southwest at Shanhaiguan.

All parties sent millions of soldiers.

It took only half a year from the start of the war to the end, and millions of lives were annihilated in half a year.

It was one of the most tragic wars in history, known in history as the Battle of Mountains and Seas.

Xu Qian'an's father died in that war.

"..... With my knowledge as a keyboard warrior and the laws summarized by street literature, no dynasty can escape the three-hundred-year law."

The so-called three-hundred-year law was named by Xu Qian'an himself.

As a pseudo-historian enthusiast, he summed up a set of laws from the five thousand years of history in his previous life. Apart from the Zhou Dynasty, which was ignorant and backward and ruled by the vassal kings, no dynasty's national destiny lasted for three hundred years.

The Song and Han dynasties were also reorganized dynasties.

After thinking about it, the Dafeng Dynasty lasted for six hundred years, which should be related to the power system of this world.

Little Douding was brought back by Lu'e. She was hungry, so she stopped crying. She was too small to reach the dining table, so she sat between Lu'e's legs and was fed by her.

"Mother, why do we have to live in the dark room? We don't have enough to eat every day." Little Douding remembered what she had experienced a few days ago.

She called the prison the dark room.

No one at the table spoke, and Auntie showed a look of pity.

Uncle Xu sighed, "Dad did something wrong."

Little Douding said "Oh", and then said, "I woke up hungry yesterday, caught a bug, and there was this on my head." She put two short fingers on her head.

That was a cockroach, which was called the two big snakes in the prison together with mice.

The faces of the people at the table changed, feeling ashamed and pitying. It was their failure to let a child suffer like this.

"You, you ate..." Li Ru's lips trembled and her eyes were red. She was in her early thirties when she gave birth to this little girl. Although she was a little stupid, she loved her very much.

The little kid Xu Lingyin said crisply: "Later, I heard my mother's stomach growling."

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and everyone's heart sank.

Aunt's pretty face turned pale and she trembled: "Then?"

"Then I stuffed it into my mother's mouth. My mother ate it very quickly." The little kid had an expression of seeking credit.

Aunt's body swayed.

Xu Xinnian slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm full."

Xu Lingyue: "Me too."

Xu Qian'an: "Full, full, Kukuku..."

Second Uncle Xu: "..."

Aunt was stunned for a few seconds, and threw herself under the table: "Ugh..."

"Ahhh..." Soon after, the crying of a child like a pig being slaughtered echoed in the night sky.
