Behind the side of Qiushu, there was a man in an official uniform, with a white face and a thin face, who was the Shou You Zhan of Liusheng County.

In front of You Zhan, there was a man who was full of wealth, although he was wearing silk and satin, but he couldn't hide his fat body, he knelt there, trembling, in this early winter season, but his head was covered with sweat, as if he would faint at any time.

You Zhan was full of solemnity, standing with his hands down, and when the two of them were peeping on the roof of the building, You Zhanzheng reprimanded: "Wang Yuan, are you crazy?

"Don't dare, don't dare, Lord You, you give the villain two more dares, and the villain won't dare to disobey His Royal Highness, it's really, it's really ......" Wang Yuan was full of panic and swallowed.

"What is it, why don't you recruit it quickly? "You Zhan's white face is full of hatred for iron and steel, this Wang Yuan is so smart on weekdays, why is he so stupid today, he understands everything so clearly, why is it so slow?

"Don't be nervous. Qiu Shu waved his hand to stop You Zhan's urging, and said in a gentle voice: "Wang Yuan, you relax, don't be afraid, this palace just wants to see your child, and will not do anything to him, this palace, this palace can guarantee this." ”

"Qiyu, Your Highness. Wang Yuan wiped the sweat from his head, his eyes were full of fear, and said: "It's not that the villain is unwilling, it's not that he doesn't believe in His Highness, it's true, I'm afraid of staining His Highness's eyes." If His Royal Highness is shocked, the villain will not be redeemed for a hundred deaths, and there will be no redemption for a hundred deaths. ”

Seeing this, You Zhan knew that Wang Yuan was not a fake, he glanced at Qiu Shu cautiously and said, "Your Highness, look?"

Qiu Shu shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, even if you bring it, no matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you, and this palace will forgive you without sin." ”

Seeing that Qiu Shu's words had already reached this level, You Zhan's eyes widened, and he scolded: "Wang Yuan, don't you hurry up and call someone, do you want to die?"

Wang Yuan's fat face was full of helplessness, he could only turn his head and shout, "Someone's coming." ”

Not far away, a man in his fifties came running, his expression was very respectful, he came to Wang Yuan's side, first knelt down at Qiushu, and then said, "Master, the little one is here." ”

"Steward Wang, go to the inner hall quickly, and let Granny Liu bring that little evil seed, Ah No, that child here, pay attention, wrap me tightly. Wang Yuan commanded.

"Huh?" Steward Wang was obviously stunned, and he blurted out, "But master, you didn't let the little one ......"

"What nonsense, don't hurry up to Lao Tzu, wait for the wrong time, Lao Tzu won't peel your skin and cramp, Lao Tzu Wang Zi wrote upside down. Wang Yuan's words were roared, and when he spoke, the fat all over his body trembled.

Steward Wang was startled, responded again and again, kowtowed to Qiushu, and then ran to the inner hall with a roll.

After Wang Yuan finished yelling, he was kneeling there, but he suddenly collapsed, if he didn't have some willpower, he would have fainted.

Seeing this, You Zhan's face was unbearable, Qiu Shu raised his hand and ordered someone to move a chair for Wang Yuan, and let Wang Yuan sit on it, and the chair made a painful squeak, not so much that he was sitting on it, but that he was squeezing in.

The jade lord on the roof pursed his lips and smiled.

Sheng Shen wanted to ask her why she was laughing, but because of what Lord Xuanyu said before, she didn't let him speak, so she scratched her ears and cheeks, so she was uncomfortable.

But then, as if he knew that he was going to ask, the Lord Xuanyu transmitted the sound by means of concentrating the sound into a line: "Hehe, this fat man is interesting, he said that the word king is written upside down, this word is written upside down, isn't it still the word king, seeing that he is so skillful, maybe he often says this on weekdays." ”

Sheng Shen thought about it, it was really.

Steward Wang went for a long time, for half an hour, until You Zhan was a little impatient, and there was a rush of footsteps in the back hall, listening to the voice, it was two people, and there was no other sound.

Qiu Shu frowned slightly.

Lou Yanxin took a step forward and stood in front of Qiu Shu's side, in this position, if there is any disturbance, she can react and deal with it as soon as possible.

Something was wrong with the situation, without the crying of the baby, and when he thought of the rumors of the ghost fetus, Lord Xuanyu couldn't help but hold his breath.

Sheng Shen didn't feel that anything was wrong, everything seemed normal, but despite this, his attention was still a little more focused and looked in the direction of the back hall.

After a while, at the corner of the back hall, two people turned out, the first one was the king's steward, and the second one was a woman about his age, dressed in a cloth and hairpin skirt, and holding a swaddling baby in her arms.

The woman's expression was a little flustered and a little frightened, and the steward of the king was a little cowering and looking very unnatural.

After the two arrived, they both knelt in front of Qiu Shu.

Steward Wang secretly glanced at Wang Yuan, Wang Yuan closed his eyes, still a little panting, and it seemed that he had not eased up.

Steward Wang's face turned pale, and You Zhan shouted: "Steward Wang, what's the matter with you, holding a child and going to a back hall, can you go for so long? You dare to make His Highness wait for a long time, can you be guilty?"

"Yes, yes, small guilt, small guilt. Listen to me, my lord. Steward Wang also looked a little flustered, and said: "My lord, when the little one rushed to go, he was just in time for the lady to wake up, and I heard that the child was going to be taken away, but the lady was unwilling, and kept holding the child. ”

Before You Zhan could say something, Qiu Shu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Lord You, wait for this palace to ask a few words." ”

"Yes. You Zhan replied respectfully.

Qiu Shu changed his sitting position to make himself more comfortable, and said, "Are you Granny Liu?

"Yes, it's me. The woman's eyes dodged, she didn't dare to look at the autumn book, and said in a trembling voice.

"Come, show the child's face and show it to Hongu. Qiushu said.

"This ......" The woman turned her head to look at Wang Yuan, as if she wanted to ask Wang Dahu's intentions.

The steward next to him snatched the child from the woman's arms, and said angrily: "When has this been, and it's still grinding, isn't it just to look at the face?"

Steward Wang himself uncovered the blanket covering the child's face, and aimed the child's face in the direction of Qiushu.

Lou Yanxin took a step forward again, and pressed one hand on the handle of the autumn knife on his waist, and You Zhan also looked over.

On the roof, Lord Xuan Yu and Sheng Shen also stared at it for a moment.

Inside the swaddling clothes, a white and chubby baby face was revealed, and the gender could not be seen, only the eyebrows were seen, and the eyebrows were quite beautiful, but the face was white, with some cyan.

"Huh?" You Zhan snorted coldly, stepped forward, and snatched the swaddling clothes from the arms of the king steward again.

The king's steward's face changed greatly, but he did not dare to step forward and take it back, but only trembled there.

You Zhan probed the child's snort, and on his white face, he showed a look that was really like this, turned his head to Qiu Shu and said, "Your Highness, the child is dead." ”

"Dead?" It was the woman who spoke, her face was distorted, full of horror, and she muttered to herself: "No, this is just from Ge Laoer's house, and she hasn't been crying all the time, how can she die, why is she dead?"

"What?" You Zhan was furious, took a step forward, grabbed Steward Wang's neck, lifted him directly from the ground, and said, "Say, what's going on, why is it related to Ge Lao Er again?"

"Who is Ge Lao Er?" Qiushui's expression was very calm, and his tone was also very calm.

"Ge Lao Er is a tenant farmer of Wang Yuan's family. You Zhan replied.

Steward Wang was dancing on all fours in the air, and he couldn't breathe a little when he saw it.

"Let him go, I'll get it. Wang Yuan didn't know when he opened his eyes, he squeezed himself out of the chair with difficulty, and wanted to kneel, but in the end he collapsed on the ground, supported the ground with both hands, and said weakly: "Everything is made by me." ”

"This afternoon, Madame felt that the stomach pain was unbearable, so I sent someone to invite Granny Liu, but somehow, the news spread, so all relatives and friends came uninvited to congratulate me. Everyone knew that I didn't want to make trouble, but I didn't expect that even the county keeper knew about it, and asked someone to bring a congratulatory gift. In this way, there are more and more people in my yard, but no one knows that my wife has been in pain since noon until the hour of the unitary before giving birth. Lord Gunjo, you know my temper, and there are many times when I am impatient and urging, and I don't want so many people to wait there all the time. ”

Wang Yuan's face was full of remorse, "It must be because I was urging too much, when the child came out, his face was covered with blood, after washing, Granny Liu found that the child had his eyes closed all the time, which was normal, but when I took it, the child suddenly opened his eyes, and smiled weirdly at me, all over his body, there were bursts of fog like black smoke coming out, that scene, that scene, it was like a hungry ghost from hell coming." I know, I know, this is God punishing me, punishing me for being anxious, only caring about my face, but I don't care about the big or the small, the more I urge the more things happen, and finally I urge out a ghost. ”

In the end, Wang Yuan was already lying on the ground and crying, like crazy.

"That's right, what Wang Dahu said is not wrong at all. The woman seemed to have sobered up, and said: "That child, just born, didn't cry, all the time looking at Wang Dahu sneering, the black fog on his body, how to look at it, how terrible, I, I was scared and lost my mind, and rushed out of the Wang family from the back hall, and many people saw it." ”

"What about that kid?" asked Qiu Shu, following suit.
