Xue Qing sat up straight, and the tightness of her body expressed her nervousness. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The performers in the hall were still drumming, and the banquet was staggered, regardless of whether it was true or false, Yan Yan suddenly reported a funeral, and a man knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Before many people could react to what was happening, some stood up, some leaned in, some asked, and the hall was in a commotion for a moment.

Governor Li stood up and said, "Master Wu, what's wrong with you?" while shouting again, "It's too sad." ”

The servants in the hall hurriedly rushed to Master Wu to help, and Master Liu also stood up and called the doctor, but Master Wu refused to get up, kowtowed to Zong Zhou and said: "Adults spare their lives, adults spare their lives, this is all my idea, and it has nothing to do with the mother and children..."

As he spoke, the expressions of the people around him changed slightly.

Zong Zhou babbled and said, "What is Master Wu talking about, why can't I understand?" He leaned over slightly with some sympathy, "Ah, in this way, I will be the first to visit your house and send one to the old lady." ”

Master Wu knelt down to him, but Governor Li opened his mouth to stop him, and said with a heavy expression: "Come on, send Master Wu down." ”

Someone didn't hesitate to set up Master Wu and go out, his little servant also followed in a panic, Master Wu's whining went away, this change just happened in the blink of an eye, the hall returned to quiet, but the atmosphere was not as good as before.

Governor Li glanced at Zong Zhou and said, "Master Zong, it's not too early, it's better to rest early." The tone of his voice was a little unkind.

Zong Zhou still looked kind, smiled, and said, "Okay." He raised his glass to everyone in the hall, "I thank you very much for coming to my banquet, and I toast you." With that, he drank it all and turned his glass upside down and smiled at everyone.

The people in the hall scattered and then raised their glasses, of course, thank you, your Excellency, it is my honor, etc., but I always feel a little messy and depressed compared to before.

Zong Zhou didn't think about it, got up and walked out with his robe fluttering, Lord Liu reacted first and followed, he was the master of the family, of course he had to follow, but then two more men chased after him.

“.. Zongda.. I don't know if it's convenient... Come to our house first... There is a collection of books by Master Wang Yanshan at home... Adults are invited to come and see. ”

“.. So-sama... My father has long admired the excellent painting skills of the adult, and he wants to meet the adult, but he is too old and sick to come in person, and he also asks the adult to appreciate his face.."

They whispered as they followed, with these two people, two more people stood up and followed, although the hall was big, there was an end Soon Zong Zhou walked out, and their voices could not be heard.

The people in the hall seemed to have not come back to their senses when they were sitting or standing, and they didn't know where to stay for a while.

Li Zhifu said: "Everyone disperses." After that, it was a step, the officials of Chang'an Mansion hurriedly followed, the officials in the hall left, and the rest of the people were stunned and then instantly made an uproar.

"What's wrong?"

"Why doesn't it feel right?"

"Old Madam Wu has passed away?"

"Why does everyone look scared?"

But the noise did not last, the men interrupted these discussions, beckoning their family members to walk outward, their expressions were heavy, their steps were panicked, the hall suddenly became chaotic, people crowded and everyone bumped into people, you stepped on me and I stepped on you, shouting here and there surging outward, Xue Qing seemed to see the scene of the carriages in front of the city gate running one after another as if fleeing again.

As the night deepened, the carriages continued on the road, and the torches and lanterns swayed like a long snake...... With a bang, Guo Zi'an pulled the curtain to isolate his vision.

Xue Qing retracted his gaze and sat up straight, because it was dark, Master Guo did not let Guo Zi'an's brothers ride horses and arranged a carriage for the three of them.

Guo Ziqian looked at Guo Zi'an and then at Xue Qing, he didn't dare to argue with Guo Zi'an and let him open the curtains, but he didn't want to offend Xue Qing, so he moved over a little and said, "Brother Qingzi, are you tired... I took some snacks from the feast, will you eat them?"

Xue Qing smiled at him and shook his head, Guo Zi'an twisted his head, and the silence in the car could be heard more clearly than the chaos of the cars and horses outside, which seemed to beat on his heart.

Guo Ziqian said: "... Are you saying things are wrong?"

Xue Qing and Guo Zi'an did not speak.

Guo Ziqian didn't care, and continued to say in a low voice: "When I went out, I heard that Master Wu sent the young ladies of the family out to the other courtyard in advance, saying that it was to serve the old lady Wu who lived there, so he couldn't rush back to attend the banquet of Lord Zong, in fact, Old Lady Wu was not sick at all.... This is just an excuse, Master Zong is angry, isn't it a service illness? Then let you really serve the disease, so give Mrs. Wu to..."

He raised his hand and made a motion to wipe his neck.

Guo Zi'an said: "Shut up." ”

Xue Qing said: "You can't say this outside. ”

Guo Ziqian was very happy about his response and said, "Of course, I'm not stupid. He approached Xue Qing again and said in a low voice, "I don't know if it's true, I didn't see that this woman dressed up in dance and ink by the master of the sect actually said that if you kill someone, you will kill someone.... That's Master Wu, and the three generations are relatives of the emperor's family. ”

Xue Qing said: "Distant relatives might as well be close to each other." ”

How can this sentence be used here? Guo Zi is talking about it, and he is talking nonsense.

Guo Ziqian stroked his palm and said: "Brother Qingzi is very incisive, then Master Wu is a distant relative of today's Heavenly Family, and Zong Zhou is a close neighbor of the current Queen Mother, it is really a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.... But it's murder... It's not just Master Wu's family who made excuses and didn't come, could it be that he dared to kill him?.... That's not ordinary people, they all have families, businesses, names and numbers..."

Guo Zi'an said again: "Shut up, what evidence do you have, just talk about it here, I haven't said how Mrs. Wu died." ”

Guo Ziqian said: "Do you still need evidence for this? That master of the sect spoke in a weird way, and Master Wu knew it, so he knelt down directly..."

Guo Zi'an raised his foot and was about to kick him, Guo Ziqian hugged Xue Qing's arm and hid behind her, Guo Zi'an's foot stopped and retracted it stiffly.

Xue Qing said: "Wait and see how Old Madam Wu died." ”

The long snake-like carriage and horse entered Chang'an City, and the stirring night became chaotic, Xue Qing looked at the shadows of the curtains swaying in the wind, and thought that Chang'an City was going to be unstable for a few days.

........

The night was dark, but the suburbs were not deadly still, with horses' hooves trampling, torches shaking, and houses full of people.

Governor Li, who was wearing an official robe and wearing a hood, walked in surrounded by the messengers, and several men with sad expressions bowed their heads and whimpered.

Governor Li ignored them, and said as he walked quickly, "What are you doing?"

He heard the sound and came out of the room in front of him to give a salute.

Governor Li said: "How?"

He stretched out his hand to Li Zhifu to invite, Li Zhifu walked into the room, and looked at an old woman lying flat on the bed in the room, under the light of the torch and candle, the old woman seemed to be asleep, but when she got closer, she could see that her face was blue and her eyes were glaring.

He reached out and pulled up the sleeve of the old woman's shirt, which was lying flat on his side, revealing his hand, and the green tendons on it were protruding, indicating the painful struggle before death.

He bowed his head and said, "Cover it to death." ”

Governor Li flicked his sleeves, and his cloak fanned the candle flames to jump, and he said, "Hateful!"
