Chapter 448 Hou Shao Is Old

Now the years of seeking change have passed five hundred years.

Coupled with the more than three hundred years of silence before the change, the depletion of spiritual energy was already more than eight hundred years ago.

Even though there were reforms that extended the lifespan of some monks, at this juncture, many monks still died every year.

Experienced freedom from suffering.

Li Changxiao counted the years and found that if he was determined, with the wealth of the Jia family, he could really afford monks, but these monks would not be too strong.

He thought about it for a moment, and suddenly told the daughter of the Jia family that he was a monk and was interested in helping the Jia family find a son, and he hoped that she could make some recommendations.

The daughter of the Jia family was stunned, "You didn't come here by invitation?"

"No." Li Changxiao said truthfully.

Qian Jinliu frowned, thinking deeply, secretly annoyed that she talked too much, thinking that this man was invited and someone who knew the truth. How could he expect that it was not like this, and he had just told so many inside stories. If this man has evil intentions and spreads these rumors, what should he do?

If he was taken away, his father would definitely blame himself.

It was impossible to take him with him, and it was impossible not to take him with him, but she was worried to death. She was more and more worried, and she didn't know what to do. Until the strange man chuckled and said that he would never involve her and had no bad intentions. . Seeing this face, Liu Mei, a daughter of a wealthy family, looked extremely handsome and did not look like a bad guy, so she calmed down a little and nodded in agreement.

In this way, with a confused mood, she took Li Changxiao to meet her father, the current head of the Jia family.

In the lobby of Jia Mansion, five people have gathered together. The head of the Jia family is sitting in the main seat. He has thick eyebrows and a square face. He is wearing a purple and gold brocade coat and a beaded belt around his waist. He is extremely luxurious. It's just that his hair is a little messy and his face looks a little tired. He was sitting facing the door, and from a very far distance, he saw his daughter, leading a man in white, walking toward the lobby where important matters were discussed.

The head of the Jia family saw that Wan Ri's well-behaved daughter actually came out to cause trouble at this critical moment. His face was filled with anger, and he was upset. He walked quickly, raised his hand and slapped her away without saying anything.

The pretty face of the Jia family's daughter turned pale. She neither dared to dodge nor dodge. She just stood upright. In the end, it was the white clothes who helped her stop the palm.

"Master Jia, I don't blame her, it's me who came." Li Changxiao said with a light smile, acting casually.

He quickly made his purpose clear. The head of the Jia family twitched his face and glanced at the other people in the lobby.

At this moment, in the lobby, apart from the head of the Jia family, there were four other people, all of whom looked to have gray hair and twilight eyes.

All the heirs surnamed Jia were arrested. This action was directly related to the survival of the Jia family, so we had to be cautious. The four veteran cultivators present either knew him directly or indirectly and were recommended by intermediaries.

Only in this way can we rest assured and dare to trust the life and death of our clan in the hands of others.

That's why he lost his composure and became so angry when faced with Li Changxiao, an intruder and an unstable factor.

However, an old man stood up. He vouched for Li Changxiao and felt that he could join in.

"Seriously?" The head of the Jia family was stunned.

"If the head of the family can trust the old man." The old man nodded.

"Allow me to ask more." The head of the family immediately asked, "Does Mr. Hou know him?"

"..."

Upon hearing this question, the old man known as Mr. Hou suddenly fell silent for a while. After a few seconds, he sighed leisurely and replied: "I know you."

After saying that, he turned to look at Li Changxiao, "Brother Changxiao, I haven't seen you for a long time. You haven't changed. I wonder if you still remember me?"

His voice was vicissitudes of life, with endless emotion, and his eyes were a little trembling. He deliberately avoided Li Changxiao, and at the same time, he had a touch of unnoticeable anxiety.

The head of the Jia family on the side was very moved when he saw Mr. Hou, whom everyone respected, looking like this when facing this young man.

"Long time no see, Brother Hou."

Li Changxiao spoke loudly and clearly, like an old friend calling out from a distance when they met a few hundred meters apart.

【】

The sound is not loud, but it can make people turn around and make people feel more intimate, as if they have never been separated from each other.

"Do you still recognize me?" Mr. Hou's eyes were burning.

"Of course." Li Changxiao pinched his chin, looked at it carefully, and said half-jokingly: "It's still handsome."

"Hahaha." Mr. Hou laughed, and most of the invisible grudge was gone.

Strictly speaking, his friendship with Li Changxiao was not very deep.

It was just that we happened to meet each other on the way to reform, and on that winter day, we had a fire together, and then we woke up and dispersed.

But that was the most special year, and the memories of that year seem to be so clearly imprinted in my mind, as if they were still yesterday.

That year, at the beginning of the reform, he was young and vigorous on the road to reform. He was accompanied by two people, had great ambitions in his heart, and his back was straight.

That year, he even shouted, "My heart is as high as the sky, and I am creating a new world."

He is Hou Shao.

On the road to the first reform, Hou Shao was with Qing Xiao.

"That's all, let's talk about the past later, let's get down to business first."

Hou Shao waved his hand, trying his best to conceal the fluctuation in his eyes.

.......

With Hou Shao's introduction, the head of the Jia family naturally had no reason to distrust Li Changxiao. The interrupted meeting continued. The head of the Jia family was afraid that Li Changxiao would not understand the reason, so he deliberately took a few minutes to talk to him about the matter. Passed roughly.

A few months ago, the Jia family, Zhou family, and Wang family, the three major families in Qingrao City, and their more than thirty heirs, all disappeared overnight.

Silently. There were countless masters in the mansions of the three major families, but no one noticed.

The three families were furious, but also terrified. They had never seen such a thing. After thinking it over, they dared not speak out.

If these descendants died because of this, it would be an unimaginable blow to the three major families, so they tacitly suppressed the matter, and suppressed it tightly.

Since then, every month or so, there will be a secret letter stuffed at the door of the mansion, mostly threatening silver.

As he said, the head of the Jia family took out the secret letters for Li Changxiao and others to see.

Li Changxiao took three or two letters, browsed them line by line, and found that the contents of the envelope were creepy. The letter described the appearance and height of each descendant in detail, perhaps to stimulate the Jia family members, and even many private places also took up a lot of ink.

If you see your own flesh and blood, like pigs and goods, such a dignified and personalityless description, I am afraid you will feel heartbroken.

This is not over yet.

The letter said that he took them to a paradise and lived happily.

But they were not well behaved, often fighting and getting sick, so he asked the Jia family for raising them. It was called raising fees, but the starting price was 100 taels.

After reading all the envelopes.

Li Changxiao saw the process of a person's desire gradually expanding.

In the first blackmail letter, Xiaozhen extorted 100 taels.

In the second blackmail letter, Xiaozhen extorted 100 taels.

In the third blackmail letter, Xiaozhen's desire reached its peak and extorted 10,000 taels in one breath.

In addition to the three blackmail letters, apology letters were occasionally sent.

The language in the apology letters was perfunctory, and the content was roughly the same, saying that one of her children was too weak and died of illness accidentally, so she felt sorry and wrote a letter to apologize.

These envelopes were too explicit, and there was a cruelty that was detached from the paper.

Therefore, the head of the Jia family never dared to open the envelopes, and only at this moment was he willing to reveal the scars for Li Changxiao and others to browse.

"This guy is so arrogant! What he did is against the principles of heaven!" An old man stood up and cursed.

"Master, don't worry. Since you are entrusted by someone, you must help him to the end. The principles of heaven are clear, how can we allow this villain to be so arrogant."
