“Hey~~~”
At this time, Wan Yuandong, who was sitting on a chair in the study, sighed heavily.
Today his son came running back from his farm in the suburbs of Beijing and said that there was no water to drink in the farm and the elderly and children could not bear it any longer.
He shamelessly went to Yao's house and asked for a bowl of water.
He had always been wondering, the well in Yao Hai's mansion was not as deep as the well in his mansion, so how could there still be water at this time.
The reason why he knew there must be water in Yao Hai's mansion was because he observed it.
Every day when civil and military officials attended the morning court, only a few of them had lips that were not cracked and bleeding.
Yao Hai is one of them.
So he concluded that Yao Hai must have a way to get water.
Even though he knew it, he could only go to Yao Hai's house and shamelessly ask for a bowl of water. He would never ask where Yao Hai got the water from.
That water source is their lifeline, why should I tell him?
“Click~”
After observing for a while and confirming that the person in the study was Wan Yuandong, Xiao Yunhao simply put the tiles back on.
“Who is it!?”
Wan Yuandong suddenly heard a noise on the roof, which scared him so much that the hairs on his body stood up.
He immediately stood up from the chair, leaned against the wall, and looked up at the roof with a vigilant look.
"Someone come!"
Wan Yuandong shouted at the top of his lungs.
At this moment, he regretted why he sent all the guards to rest.
He is a civil servant and has no martial arts skills at all. If he falls into the hands of the thieves, he will be slaughtered at will.
Wan Yuandong was getting anxious. Just as he was about to shout a second time, the study door was pushed open.
"Father-in-law..."
The word "father-in-law" scared Wan Yuandong silly.
His eyes were fixed on the study door.
It's unclear who is torturing him.
He only has one daughter, Wan Suyun, so naturally his only son-in-law is Xiao Yunhao.
What kind of wicked person would pretend to be Xiao Yunhao, who has been dead for so many years, to scare him.
You know what, this voice is really similar.
Xiao Yunhao was afraid that if he suddenly went in, Wan Yuandong would be scared to death, so he made some noise on the roof first.
Then when he pushed the door open, he didn't go in. Instead, he shouted something to say hello to his father-in-law.
Xiao Yunhao didn't hear Wan Yuandong's voice and walked in directly.
"Squeaky~"
Xiao Yunhao walked in and closed the door, then turned to look at Wan Yuandong.
"Father-in-law, is everything okay?!"
Wan Yuandong frowned and looked at the tall man in front of him with a wary look.
This person's height and build are indeed very similar to Xiao Yunhao.
but!
This weathered old face is so different from his handsome son-in-law.
The most important thing is that Xiao Yunhao has been dead for more than four years. Who would be so shameless as to use his son-in-law's identity to hurt him?
Wan Yuandong stared coldly at the person in front of him.
"Who are you? What are your intentions?"
"Everyone in the capital knows that my son-in-law Xiao Yunhao died on the battlefield a long time ago."
When Xiao Yunhao saw the way Wan Yuandong looked at the stranger, he remembered that his face was still in disguise.
He smiled faintly and took off the bag hanging on his arm.
"You--what are you going to do!?" Wan Yuandong's heart was pounding with fear when he saw the other party's actions.
Finished!
Are you going to poison him to death?
Emperor Wu of Liang, this tyrant and incompetent ruler, could no longer tolerate him.
Wan Yuandong's eyes were full of panic.
At this moment, he could only think that Emperor Wu of Liang wanted to harm him.
Because all the officials in the capital were thinking about where to get water, who would want to kill him at this time.
Or maybe Emperor Wu of Liang wanted to knock him out and take him away to threaten Xiao Yunzhan.
Wan Yuandong looked at the man taking out a package from his bag and his expression became even more nervous.
"you----"
Xiao Yunhao took out the disguise powder and water bag, turned to look at Wan Yuandong,
"Father-in-law, can you lend me a basin..."
Xiao Yunhao looked at Wan Yuandong shaking like a sieve and pursed his lips sadly.
Seeing that his father-in-law didn't respond to his question at all, he had to look around himself.
There was a small wooden basin behind the study door.
Xiao Yunhao walked over, picked up the small wooden basin, and added powder and water into it.
Wan Yuandong looked at the clear water being poured into the dirty wooden basin and wasted, and his face was filled with heartache.
He swallowed hard, his throat dry and sore from the choking.
Emperor Wu of Liang was willing to do this, so he sent people to drug him and even brought so much water.
Water in the capital is now more expensive than gold.
Just when Wan Yuandong was wondering whether he should shout for help and try again.
He watched the man lying on the wooden basin and washing his face.
Wan Yuandong looked at the person washing his face in confusion, not knowing how to react.
Xiao Yunhao struggled and quickly washed the things off his face.
He took out a piece of paper from his bag and wiped the water off his face, then turned and looked at Wan Yuandong with a faint smile.
"Father-in-law, it's me---Xiao Yunhao!"
Wan Yuandong widened his eyes in horror, his eyeballs almost popping out of his head.
He looked at the person in front of him who looked almost identical to Xiao Yunhao, and a chill instantly ran down his spine.
