Rebirth: Phoenix Palm Nine Heavens

Chapter 404 Certificate of Surrender

The inn was burned down, and Xiao Jinse and his party temporarily lost their place to stay, so the old man invited Xiao Jinse and the others to live in his home.

Walking into the small courtyard of the old man's house, there are just a few ordinary rooms. The old man pointed to the room to the east and said, "You three can make do in this room."

"There are more old men." Xiao Jinse bowed his hands.

"You're welcome, you can stay here first." After saying that, the old man walked away.

Xiao Jinse and the other three walked into the room. The furnishings in the room were very simple, with only a large wooden bed and a table placed against the wall.

"Master, I am wronging you by living here." Qiong Hua said lightly.

"It's quite nice here." Xiao Jinse said lightly.

"Master, I'm going to lend you a basin to get some water to clean the house." Fanghua bowed and just opened the door to go out when an old woman in coarse clothes came in carrying a basin of water.

"Three girls, this house is simple and the reception is not good enough."

"Auntie, it's good to have a place to live. It's common for me and other people in the world to sleep in the mountains and forests at night. I'm very grateful that I'm willing to provide us with a place to stay."

The old woman glanced at Xiao Jinse and sighed, "Girl, now that you are entangled with the Xie family, you should leave early. Xie Zhong's methods are very vicious. Nine out of ten families here are affected by it." They thanked the family for their oppression."

"Isn't there a family that hasn't been bullied?" Qiong Hua said.

Hearing this, Xiao Jinse rolled his eyes at Qiong Hua and said, "The family that was not persecuted should be Xie Zhong's family."

"Yes."

"Auntie, don't worry. We will deal with Xie Zhong's affairs before we leave Bazhou, and we will ensure that you will not be implicated." Xiao Jinse said solemnly.

"That's okay, it's just..."

Suddenly, a woman with disheveled hair ran out of the main room, shouting, "Kill him, I want to kill him..."

Fanghua hurriedly put down the cloth in her hand and stood in front of Xiao Jinse, "Master, be careful."

The old woman also walked in quickly and hugged the girl, "Lan'er, listen to mother, go back to the house quickly, don't scare the guests."

Xiao Jinse stepped out of the room, grabbed the woman's wrist to diagnose her pulse, then retracted her hand for a moment and said, "Madam, is this girl like this because she has suffered extreme stimulation?"

"Yes, this is all done by that bastard Xie Yuanji. Originally, my old man was a teacher in Bazhou. One time, Xie Yuanji came to see my old man to write and paint. He happened to see Lan'er and he became lustful. I ruined Lan'er, and later Lan'er went crazy." The old woman said sadly.

"This bitch deserves to die. There are many other masters like Miss Lan'er who have been harmed by the Xie family." Fanghua said angrily.

Xiao Jinse took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to the old woman's hand, "Madam, this is Qingxin Pill. Take one pill in the morning and one in the evening. When the matter in Bazhou is resolved, I will ask a doctor to treat Miss Lan'er. sickness."

"Thank you in advance." The old woman hugged her daughter and brought Lan'er back to the house with tears in her eyes.

"Master, if we live here, will the Xie family..." Fanghua said worriedly.

"No, he knows he is no match for me, and he also wants to save his son's life."

"Then what should we do?"

"Let's go see the old man first."

Xiao Jinse brought Fanghua to the main house and knocked gently. The old man opened the door and turned sideways to let Xiao Jinse and others into the house.

The furnishings in the house are very simple. The first thing that catches the eye is a simply furnished desk. On the desk is a worn brush and a stack of paper filled with writing. Several calligraphy and paintings in different handwritings are hung on the wall, exuding a sense of warmth. A faint scent of ink. There is a wooden table next to it with an old tea set placed on it. It can be seen from this that the old man's family originally lived a very good life.

The old man poured a cup of tea for Xiao Jinse and talked to himself. The old man had two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was smart and studious, with a calm personality. He thought deeply about problems and often gave unique insights. His future was originally bright, but after he sought justice for his sister, he was accused and killed by Xie Zhong on the charge of assassinating an important court official.

The second daughter was originally kind and lively, with a talent for painting. After that incident, she went crazy. The youngest son, I was worried that he would also be killed, so I sent him early to continue his studies with the same clan, which can be regarded as leaving a bloodline for our family.

"If the girl wants to do harm to the people, the old man's family is willing to pay any price." The old man said with scarlet eyes.

Hearing this, Xiao Jinse nodded slightly, acceding to the old man's request.
