"Grandpa Xiao... is he really the murderer of our parents?"
Hearing Zhou Yu's question, the girl hesitated for a while, and finally lowered her head in pain.
Her younger brothers and sisters subconsciously looked outside through the glass.
On the deck of a fishing boat not far away, a group of soldiers from the Flying Cavalry Battalion were bringing the little old man into the cabin.
Zhou Yu first followed their gaze, then said calmly, "Whether it's true or not, I think you should have made up your mind, right?"
"But...but he really helped us a lot."
The girl looked sad.
He glanced at his brothers and sisters before speaking with a choked voice, "If it weren't for him, we would have been dead in the wilderness long ago."
"You are wrong. If it weren't for him, your parents would still be alive now, and you wouldn't be orphans."
Zhou Yu didn't expect that this girl's train of thought was so strange. For a moment, even his tone began to become stiff.
If it turns out that the guy surnamed Xiao is really related to what happened back then, then he is most likely the enemy who killed his father and mother.
Zhou Yu really didn't know what to say about being grateful to his enemy.
However, the expression of another older girl suddenly became fierce when she heard Zhou Yu's analysis.
She first glanced at her elder sister, and then said to Zhou Yu seriously:
“When my parents had the accident, we were in the countryside, so we didn’t know the details of the situation.
Later, when the maid brought us back, we saw that the house had become a ruin.
When our parents sent us to the countryside, they gave us a lot of money, so we rented a house nearby.
You know what happened later. The maid wanted to sell us out, so we ran away secretly.
The maids were already feeling guilty, so they hurriedly checked out and ran away with the money, and a few of us started wandering around the city.
Because we were very thin, we were often bullied during our wanderings. We often begged for a long time but still couldn't get enough food to fill our stomachs.
Just when we were in despair, the old man surnamed Xiao appeared.
Not only did he often give us sesame cakes as alms, but he also rescued many beggars.
We always thought he was cruel but kind-hearted, but who would have thought... who would have thought..."
The girl originally looked fierce, but at the end, she couldn't continue.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu did not continue to ask questions.
We already know the general situation here, we just need to wait for the results from Li Junxian.
Thinking this in his mind, he immediately turned and looked at the fishing boat.
Now the night is deep, and wisps of mist are rising from the water.
Just as Zhou Yu was frowning and thinking, Li Junxian's figure had already appeared on the deck of the fishing boat.
A moment later, hurried footsteps were heard on the stairs. "Young Master, there's a result."
Hearing this, the little beggars all turned their heads and looked towards the stairs.
Li Junxian, who had just climbed up the stairs, saw this and swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
"Go ahead! Let them hear it too."
Zhou Yu waved his hand, signaling Li Junxian to speak directly.
Those little beggars were also involved and should know the inside story.
Saying it in front of them now will save me from wasting more time.
"yes."
Li Junxian nodded, and then continued: "The old man surnamed Xiao has confessed that he is a servant of the Lanling Xiao family.
When the Xiao family sailed here, they heard that their parents were related to Baiyujing.
It happened that the old man of the Xiao family was seriously ill at that time, so the people of the Xiao family had evil intentions.
But their parents would rather die than reveal any news about Bai Yujing.
Later, the old man of the Xiao family passed away, and his successor, for long-term considerations, intensified the pressure on their parents.
Later on, they simply decided to kill him and wanted to use it to lure out the immortal from Baiyujing.
Unfortunately, after they took action, the immortal they were eagerly waiting for did not appear.
They were about to give up, but then they suddenly met a few little beggars.
Taking into consideration that these little beggars also had a close relationship with the immortals of Baiyujing, the Xiao family arranged for people to hide in the dark and monitor them secretly.
The person in charge of surveillance at the Xiao family was worried that they would starve to death, so he sent the old man to secretly provide them with aid.
In order to avoid being discovered, the man also helped some other beggars.
After our ship docked today, the news quickly reached that person's ears.
In order to test them, the man ordered them to come and beg.
After they returned, the old man began to make indirect comments.
After learning about our situation, that person prepared to go back to the Xiao family to report the news overnight.
Fortunately, the brothers in the Flying Cavalry Battalion were alert enough, otherwise he would have already escaped from the city by now."
At the end of his speech, Li Junxian did not forget to take credit for the soldiers of the Flying Cavalry Battalion.
Zhou Yu is not stingy with these things.
But before he could open his mouth, the little beggars, led by their elder sister, ran towards the stairs.
Seeing this, Li Junxian subconsciously wanted to stop it, but Zhou Yu waved his hand to stop him.
With enemies in front of us, who can listen to advice?
Compared to caring about the revenge of a few little beggars, Zhou Yu was more concerned about the whereabouts of the bearded guest.
Judging from the information we have received so far, it seems that the bearded guest has not been captured by the Xiao family.
Not only that, the Xiao family had actually only heard the news about Bai Yujing and the immortal, and didn't know exactly what was going on.
This way, I don't have to cover it up anymore.
But the Xiao family, which is so audacious, must be completely destroyed.
After making up his mind, he disappeared right in front of Li Junxian.
Seeing this, even though Li Junxian had already known Zhou Yu's abilities, he was still shocked.
But after the shock, there was endless joy.
Since Zhou Yu performed magic in front of him, it meant that he did not treat him as an outsider.
Even if he doesn't teach himself any magic, he will definitely benefit greatly from Zhou Yu's guidance.
Thinking this in his heart, his steps became lighter.
Compared to Li Junxian's excitement, Li Er was much more speechless.
At this time, he was processing memorials in Taiji Hall, but Zhou Yu not only appeared suddenly, but also asked him to destroy the Lanling Xiao family as soon as possible.
Someone had already quickly informed Li Er about what happened between Zhou Yu and Xiao Jia Shisanlang not long ago.
I thought Zhou Yu had been ruthless enough, but I didn't expect this guy to want to kill everyone.
Although he also knew that the Lanling Xiao family was arrogant and domineering, after reading the New Book of Tang and the Old Book of Tang, he remembered that the Xiao family had produced many prime ministers.
If it can be utilized, it will be a great help.
Unfortunately, before he could say anything to persuade him, Zhou Yu recounted his entire experience.
Later, before Zhou Yu could speak again, the Xiao family became the first family to be attacked by the "Japanese pirates".
