Chapter 148: Night Fire
By the time these inside information about Zhao Jie's family reached Wu Shaoying's ears, two days had passed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He has been ordering people to keep an eye on Zhao Jie's house, so when the doctor returned to the medical hall to check the medical book, he quickly inserted one foot into it in time and gave the doctor a hint. He just wanted to anger Zhao Cheng as much as possible, so that the latter hated He deeply and treated her harshly, but judging from the doctor's reaction and follow-up news, he probably hit her right.
Then the He family was really bold, and when he was just the daughter of a criminal official and the wife of a school captain, he dared to be ruthless to Zhao Jie. I don't know where her ambition came from, and where the prescription came from, presumably not inherited from her mother. If her mother had this ability, how could she let her husband's favorite concubine give birth to a pair of children?
Since the He family had the courage to do that kind of thing, it was natural for him to be retaliated against by Zhao Hao today.
Wu Shaoying sent his most experienced and skilled old dart head with a few henchmen and disciples to keep an eye on this matter, and there was a follow-up to the news reported: "Early yesterday morning, the gate of Xicheng Fucheng was opened, and Zhao Jie's men drove a car to that side, wanting to quietly send people out of the city before dawn. Fuchengmen is full of coal trucks, and most of the people who walk are ordinary people, so it is easiest to be confused. We thought that Wu Ye had already instructed them to cause them some trouble, so we broke their axles. The carriage toppled down as it passed the city gates, and the coachman did not react and caused the two bloody men in the carriage to slip to the ground. The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate hurriedly detained the coachman and went to check on the two bloody men, but they were two maids, one of whom was older and had both legs broken, but he was still alive, but he was seriously injured; the other young one, who was already out of breath and out of breath and had little breath, died not long after being sent to the yamen. But we took a look from a distance, and judging from the clothes, it should be He's girl. The other younger and older one must be Mama Jin. ”
Yan Hong is just down, as He's personal girl, she has followed her to do bad things. What does Mama Jin say, she was also sent by the former Jin princess Guan to wait beside her granddaughter Sister Zhang, who was also a little decent in the Jin Palace, and did not participate in the conspiracy of the He family, so Zhao Hao also said that she would be beaten, and she actually broke her legs. Even if she could survive now, her injuries healed, and her legs could not recover. In this life, he is not good at doing things, and he is disgusted by the master's family, so he is afraid that his luck is the best, that is, to be a beggar woman, right? Zhao Zhen is really ruthless enough, just because Mama Jin brought the He family to him, he treated her so ruthlessly. But if it weren't for Mama Jin, I'm afraid he would never know that he had been drugged in his life, let alone recover as before. He should have been grateful to Mama Kim.
The case of Fuchengmen alarmed the Shuntian Mansion, and the prefect came to inquire in person, and learned from the captured coachman which family he was from, so he did not dare to be careless, and immediately reported to the Zongren Mansion. However, there was still one person who followed the car at that time, slipped fast, and failed to catch it on the spot, presumably at this time he had returned to Zhao Qi to ventilate the news. The Zongren Mansion sent someone to ask Zhao Jie, but he only said that he didn't know, and said that the coachman had been fired a few days earlier, and what he did had nothing to do with him. But his neighbors all said that until the end of yesterday morning, they saw the coachman entering and leaving his house, and drove him out the morning before. The claim that he was fired a few days ago is nothing more than a lie.
The old dart head said to Wu Shaoying: "The letters we are waiting for in the government are all said by the officials. For fear of arousing suspicion, we didn't stay outside the yamen for too long. However, when we left, we saw from a distance that there was a royal history in the past, and it must not be long before we could see the imperial history in the court. ”
Wu Shaoying nodded, he had already heard that this morning was mentioned by the imperial history, but the book was detained by the emperor, and it was not sent down, I don't know what the follow-up will be. But now the emperor is seeing that Zhao Jie is not pleasing to the eye, and withholding the notebook, most of it is just to check it out, and he will still punish him later. Wu Shaoying is not worried.
He was more concerned about another matter: "Mama Jin and Yanhong were sent out of the city with one death and one injury, what about the He family himself?"
He's own identity is a little different, and Zhao Jie is afraid that he will miss asking her something, and he will have nowhere to ask in the future, so he tossed for most of the day before he plans to send people away. It was just a lesson from the time when he sent people out of the city in the morning, and he ordered someone to wash the blood stains on He's body, change into clean clothes, take a futon and wrap it tightly, and pretend to be an emergency patient and send him out of the city. This time, the old dart head didn't move, so they followed them far away, until they followed Zhao Jie's Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing.
This Zhuangzi is dozens of miles away from the capital, the place is quite large, it was the private house of the former Jin Dynasty princess Guan Shi to her son, and the lady of the Zhuangtou is still the big girl she called when she was young and not out of the cabinet, and she is very loyal. Therefore, even if this Zhuangzi is not in the name of their mother and son, it has not been coveted. On the same day, the house was raided, but it was not copied to the head of this Zhuangzi, and when Zhao Jie ended the captivity and was released, the Zhuangtou couple immediately came to the door. It is precisely because of this Zhuangzi that Zhao Jie will not be shy in his pocket. He was sent away before, and he was arranged in this Zhuangzi. But now that she's back again, the treatment is completely different.
Because Zhao Jie had said something first, the servants explained to the Zhuang Tou couple, and threw He in an empty house and ignored it ever since. Zhuang Tou and his wife did not ask anyone to send food and water, let alone ask a doctor to catch medicine, it was clear that they wanted to let the He family fend for himself. When she lost her breath, she reported another illness and died, and simply ended the matter neatly.
What made the old dart head admire was the woman He: "She was so seriously injured, but she was able to survive and still hasn't died." An ignorant child in Zhuangzi was curious for a while, and went to the empty house to see who she was, but was aroused by her few words and tears, and quietly took water from home for her, but could not find medicine. However, there were herbs for treating external injuries in the nearby mountains and forests, and He taught the child to recognize the herbs and look for an opportunity to go up the mountain to collect medicines. At the moment, I don't know if the child can successfully collect the medicine and heal He's injury. But a woman like her who refuses to die is really rare. What's the use of her struggling like this? If she can't get better, it's really getting better, Zhao Hao knows, can she still let her live?"
Wu Shaoying said lightly: "That slut has a lot of tricks, so you still have to be more guarded." "Don't say much, and ask Sister Zhang how she is.
Although Zhao Hao hated the He family to the bone, and even the people waiting around her did not let go, but Sister Zhang was his own flesh and blood after all, so she would not be ruthless for no reason. It's just that after He's incident, Zhao Jie's love for this daughter has almost dissipated. Nominally, he just recognized the other party as a righteous daughter, and he didn't have to worry about what the outside world would say, so he handed over the person to the Wang family. The Wang family immediately sent Sister Zhang to a Zhuangzi where he was married, and asked the Zhuangtou couple to take it in, and they were only the village girl's share, and there was no treatment of golden branches and jade leaves.
As for what Sister Zhang will do in the future, it is still difficult to say.
Wu Shaoying sneered a few times, nodded and thanked the old dart head and the others, and let them retreat. Turning his head, he summoned another henchman to come and instructed: "Go find someone and find a way to kidnap Sister Zhang out and send her back to the Chen family in Linxian County." What Sister Zhang'er will do in the future depends on her own creation. ”
For the sake of his own interests, the He family was able to sell his brothers and sisters to the opera troupe and the Qinglou, which was cruel and ruthless. Wu Shaoying asked herself that she was a decent and benevolent person, not as ruthless as her, so she just let Sister Zhang return to her "home". It's just that the Chen family knows that she is not Chen Xiaowei's flesh and blood, and she stole the money. After she was sent back, she knew that nothing good would end. However, Sister Zhang is still the daughter of the Chen family in name, and the Chen family should deal with her no matter how she does. Even if Brother Zi'er grows up in the future, he misses his sister and goes to the door, but he can't say anything. What's more, since Captain Chen died at the hands of the He family, what is the harm of letting the daughter of the He family pay for this sin?
After giving these instructions, Wu Shaoying didn't bring anyone with him, and rode out alone.
He went directly out of the city and walked in the direction of Zhao Jie's Zhuangzi. By the time he reached his destination, it was already dark. The village was quiet, every family had already eaten dinner, and only moved around in their own homes, and few people went out.
Wu Shaoying recalled what the old dart head said, and quietly touched an empty house next to Zhuangzi. There were no other homes around here, it was an old tenant farmer's house that died of epidemic in the early years, and no one lived in it for several years, and the roof began to leak wind and rain. He lay on the bed in the corner of the room, with a lot of hay piled on his body, and on the ground on one side of the bed lay a candlestick with a finger-long candle in it, and a flint and steel beside the candlestick, and a broken bowl with clean water in it. This was brought to her by the child whom He had managed to fool.
He was lying there groggily, covered with bloodstained bedding, vaguely hearing movement, and thought that the child she had deceived was coming, but when he opened his eyes, he was an adult. Through the moonlight through the window, she vaguely recognized who it was.
"It's you......" He Shi gasped, his voice so weak that he could barely hear it, "Wu ...... Shao Ying...... You do it...... What to do?"
Wu Shaoying looked at her embarrassed appearance condescendingly, thinking that her cousin Guan Rongniang died at the hands of this woman, and her heart couldn't help but hurt.
He didn't say anything, but bent down, picked up the candlestick, lit the candle with a flint, and gently threw it at the haystack at Ho's feet.
He's face turned pale in an instant, and he wanted to shout for help loudly, but he couldn't shout at all, and he wanted to stay away from the source of the fire, but he was in great pain and couldn't move at all. She could only watch as the fire burned to the end of her bedding and then burned to her little by little, her heart shattered, but she couldn't do anything about it.
Wu Shaoying looked at her coldly again, turned to leave, and soon disappeared into the darkness, leaving only this empty house that no one cared about, and quickly drowned in the sea of fire.
