The lion in front of the Xia family was still majestic, but there was a panic inside the Xia family.

Xia Zong came back last night and was carried.

Hundreds of famous doctors and medical officials from the Imperial Hospital all came to the same conclusion: Xia Zong's life is not hindered, but his martial arts are gone, and it is impossible for him to practice martial arts again in this life, because Xia Zong's meridians have suffered a devastating blow.

Also, Xia Zong will not be able to do heavy work or even exercise frequently in the next half of his life, which will be a great burden on his body. Whenever it is windy or rainy, he will be in great pain.

Also, you must pay attention to changes in the season from time to time to avoid getting infected with wind and cold.

The Xia family members dare not tell Xia Zong these conclusions for the time being.

But Xia Zong didn't seem to have any intention of asking the result. The next day he sat alone in the yard for a day, laughing and crying, and finally entered a stone house and never came out again.

Xia Hai only asked about this the next day, and he did not force Xia Zong to come out.

Some people from the Xia family were going to kill Su Ji, but Xia Hai stopped him.

In just one sentence.

"If anyone of you is better than Zong'er, then go and avenge him."

However, no.

There are also people who are clamoring to buy and kill Su Ji.

And he asked Xia Hai to arrest Su Ji on the charge of injuring someone through Jingzhao Prefecture.

All these suggestions were rejected by Xia Hai.

Moreover, this made people around him even more unable to understand Xia Hai, and at the same time, Xia Hai's coldness also made people feel numb. Because not only in the matter of Xia Zong, but also in the matter of Xia Yu, Xia Hai's attitude was unexpected.

When the news of Xia Yu's death came, the official office of Xia Zong was working to open the agenda for resettlement of victims. Of course, the real decision must be discussed in the court discussion.

After hearing this, Xia Zong just calmly continued the meeting.

In fact, there are rumors that he will soon be in Taichung to serve as the Minister of State, so he doesn't have to worry too much about Jingzhao Prefecture. But Xia Hai said that since he is still Jingzhao Prefecture, he cannot slackew.

Xia Zong couldn't wait for Xia Hai's reply, so he personally arranged for someone to search for Su Ji everywhere, so that there was something to do later.

After Xia Hai asked about Xia Zong, he still focused on the disaster.

Under normal circumstances, the people will have sympathy and admiration for this official who is worried about the country and the people.

However, a memorial completely changed the good impression that Xia Hai was about to create.

"My minister, Zhao Wuzhou, the general of the Central Army, risked his life to hear..."

This is a memorial presented by Zhao Wuzhou to the emperor. The words are moving, but it is actually a bloody letter. But the core of the content is nothing more than a sentence: "Xia Hai had frequent secret contacts with Dinghu Hou during his lifetime. All kinds of evidence point to Xia Hai was a fellow party member of Dinghu Hou."

Zhao Wuzhou's memorial was extremely lethal. He was originally following the orders of the emperor to investigate the remnants of Dinghu Hou, so this memorial was extremely powerful.

But the emperor did not know what kind of consideration he left the memorial to the public and did not issue it.

But such a big thing cannot be hidden in the capital.

So the city was filled with rumors, and public opinion became very unfavorable to Xia Hai.

The official office of Jingzhao Prefecture also became panic.

Seeing that people's hearts were not available, Xia Hai did not force it, so the officials in the official office were able to go back and rest normally, instead of having to accompany Xia Hai until very late.

"Please take my invitation to invite Lord Zhao Zixing and Zhao to our mansion for a trip." Xia Hai ordered the housekeeper.

At night, Zhao Zixing, dressed in a clear and clear manner, came to Xia Hai's mansion.

"Zi Xing, I heard that you suffered some hardships a few days ago. I am busy with business and have never had time to visit you. Please don't have any grudges."

"Uncle Xia was joking. Life is like a journey of rebellion. If you can handle some hardships by yourself, how can you worry about uncle? By the way, Xia Zong is fine."

"I just don't talk to others. I have to thank my niece Ling Yun for this matter. If it weren't for him, then Chen Daozi wouldn't have shown mercy."

"If I were there, I wouldn't have let the situation go to this point today."

"Xia Zong has never suffered any hardships, and this may not be a good thing for him in the future."

"Well, is there anything else that uncle has to do when he comes to me?"

"I'm relatively idle today. I remember that Zixing has good chess skills, so I'll ask you to play a game of chess with me."

Zhao Zixing smiled slightly and said, "Then I will accompany my uncle in the next game."

The chessboard has been prepared, and Zhao Zixing will run the black first.

You and I, soon the black and white pieces filled most of the chessboard.

Zhao Zixing was much younger than Xia Zong, but he was very good at chess and paid attention to the overall situation. Xia Hai was just the opposite. He refused to give in to a single son, but later he trapped himself.

Finally, Xia Zong threw Bai Zi away and sighed: "I lost."

Zhao Zixing said: "I understand what my uncle means. I pressed him step by step, and he would not let him go, and in the end he would seek death."

Xia Zong smiled and said, "Let's go and have a meal."

Everyone knows that Zhao Wuzhou is from the Duke of Zhao's Mansion. This time, Zhao Wuzhou dared to attack Xia Hai if he was just a general of the Central Army. If there was no sign of Duke of Zhao behind him, no one would believe it.

As for the rumors in the city behind it, Princess Nankang's encouragement is inevitable.

Of course, Duke Zhao did not conspire with Princess Nankang, but Zhao made it public. Princess Nankang naturally took advantage of the situation to burn a fire for the sake of protecting Su Ji.

As a result, Xia Hai was too busy to take care of himself and of course he could not find trouble for Su Ji.

There is a reason why Duke Zhao wanted to do this. Since Fan Zhongxuan fell, the eldest princess's son-in-law He Yan has been replaced by the position of Shizhong. However, He Yan and Duke Zhao have close friends.

He Yan's goal is Shangshu Ling, so Xia Hai is his biggest competitor.

There was much friction between the two, but He Yan never took much advantage.

This time, Su Ji was born, disrupting the situation in the capital. In addition, the natural disaster made He Yan see the opportunity, so he joined forces with Duke Zhao to attack.

Now that Princess Nankang's help is even more helpless, it is impossible for Xia Hai to serve as the Minister of the Shangshu Ling, and even the position of Jingzhao Yin may not be able to continue to hold a firm foothold.

The struggle in the court has always been open and hidden arrows, and life and death.

When Xia Hai faced the pressure from Duke Zhao, He Yan and Princess Nankang, he knew that unless the emperor supported him, he would be unable to resist it.

What's more, if you continue to fight, there will be no good results.

He invited Zhao Zixing to come, so he naturally had the meaning of saying harmony.

Zhao Zixing is the best candidate.

First, he was from the Qingwei Sect, and Tianran had a connection with the Xia family. Second, he had a good relationship with Duke Zhao and Princess Nankang. Third, Zhao Zixing was deeply loved by the emperor.

In any case, Zhao Zixing is the best choice and candidate.

There is no need to speak thoroughly among smart people.

The game of chess just now has explained a lot, and Xia Hai doesn't need to say anything more.

After drinking and eating, Zhao Zixing said goodbye to Xia Hai.

After leaving Xia Mansion, he looked back and whispered: "Xia Yu hasn't even passed the first seventh day."

"This person has a great danger."

…

…

"Master, Lord Zhao has gone to Duke Zhao's Mansion."

Xia Hai nodded and replied, "Let Xia Yu be buried tomorrow."

"Yes, lord, there is just one thing that the villain doesn't know whether to talk about it or not." The housekeeper said carefully.

Xia Haidao: "Ji Quan, do you know why you are the ones who follow me for the longest time in the mansion?"

The housekeeper's surname is Lu and his name is Lu Jiquan. He said, "The villain doesn't know."

Xia Haidao: "Because you never say anything you say to me if you don't say it."
