Chapter 225 (1/2)

Xia Yi listened to what Qiao an said suspiciously, and was very curious about what the family secret he said was, and why did he decide that the secret would kill the whole family?

But since he said it was a secret of his family, it was not easy for her to ask him.

He could only comfort him and said with a smile, ”how could it be as serious as you said? I think you are just worrying. How can the Qiao family be uprooted so easily after they have been operating in Shaoxing for so many years? ”

Then she patted Joanne on the shoulder with a smile and turned to leave.

”If I told you that my family was engaged in a major rebellion, would you think so?” In a hurry, Joan shouts out to Xiayi regardless.

Treason?

These two words, but let Xiayi surprised a cold sweat.

She has been with Xiao Ruixuan for so many years. She knows better than anyone what the shadowless Pavilion is like.

”How do you know they're rebelling?” Xiayi lowered her voice, and there was a trace of imperceptible cruelty in her words.

If it was Joan who followed them all the way to see what happened, and deliberately did it

Well, for the sake of the safety of the shadowless Pavilion, Joan can't stay!

She silently compared her hand to the shape of a knife. As long as Joanne said any word that was not conducive to the shadowless Pavilion, she would take the knife and understand his life here.

But Joanne didn't feel it at the moment.

He looked into Xiayi's eyes and said in a low voice: ”a year ago, by chance, I found that my people were helping king an in the north to rebel!”

”An... An Wang...” Xia Yi took back her sword palm, ”how do you know it's an Wang?”

Qiao an said with a self mocking smile: ”once I hid in my father's study and wanted to secretly take an ancient book to show off in front of my classmates, but I didn't want to be blocked in the study by my father who came back suddenly.”

”In order not to be found by my father, I hid in my study and begged them to leave soon, but I didn't want to hear what I didn't want to hear in my life.” There was a happy and sad expression on Qiao an's face, ”they are not only helping king an to make trouble, but also casting fake money in private, in order to restrain huge wealth...”

Hearing this, Xiayi was not surprised.

Now the world seems calm, but in fact it is already in danger.

As early as seven or eight years ago, there were successive droughts and floods in Guanzhong, and there were almost no harvests for three or four years. Local officials turned to the imperial court for help, but turned a blind eye to it. A large number of refugees fled everywhere.

In order to maintain the stability of the areas under their rule, the places without disaster had to collect and dispatch more militia and labor, and levy heavier taxes on the villagers. The overburdened people have already complained about this.

But the officials always report the good news but not the bad. The court is still singing and dancing. Even if there is a small local riot, it will be suppressed in time.

In such a situation, the three princes guarding the border were ready to move, but no one dared to take the lead and be the first rebel.

But in private, they are all fighting against each other. What they are afraid of is that war is imminent.
