Just after the third watch, the smell of burnt wood pierced through the claustrophobic courtyard, and soon woke up the dozing guards.

Thick smoke billowed from the north of the palace, and the flames soared into the sky, and the family and the soldiers rushed over with buckets of water. Sheng Fuyu was originally sleeping in the study, but when he heard the noise outside, he quickly got out of bed with his clothes on, and pulled his boots and pushed the door open:

"What's wrong!"

The soldier guarding the study replied sweatingly: "There is water in the backyard, and so-and-so is rushing to put out the fire, please rest assured." ”

King Yue's eyebrows were locked into eight characters, and after thinking about it slightly, he couldn't help but shout: "It's not good! Hug Youxuan also burned? ”

"This ......" the government soldier hung his head and reported with some flinching: "The one who is burning is Bao Youxuan, and the commander has already asked people to look for the people in the house." ”

King Yue took a breath of "hiss", his face was almost hideous, and he shouted fiercely: "If you let Ling Jieyu run away, you rice buckets won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”

The government soldiers said yes again and again, and he stomped hard, and rushed to the north courtyard while fastening the buckle on his clothes, regardless of the women and servants behind him.

This fire can't be ignited for no reason, it's clear that someone wants to mess with them!

For half a year, he has not been able to rescue the governor with the secret guards in Beijing, and he has made great efforts, and the river drum guard can break through the encirclement and come in, and it is difficult to bring people out of the layers of checkpoints. What the hell is going on this time, are the guards guarding the hostages dead? Watch them break into their own territory!

The more King Yue thought about it, the more angry he became, and suddenly remembered something, the drawings of the arrangement of the manpower were still in the dark compartment of the bedroom, could it be that someone had moved? His heart sank, and he ordered to send more people to put out the fire, and immediately moved back to the front yard, and walked towards the bedroom with his feet in the wind.

He never kept the secret items that could not be destroyed in the study, but hid them in several hidden hidden compartments in the house. He was extremely anxious when he thought of this, if the news was leaked, wouldn't the other party be caught?

Bedchamber...... His eyes narrowed slightly, and he stopped a maid carrying three or four water bladders, "Where is the princess?" ”

The maid squatted down and said, "Back to the prince, Her Royal Highness the princess has taken medicine in the evening and is asleep in the room." ”

There are a lot of people who have entered the room in one day, and now I can only check if there is anything wrong with the things first. He let go of the maid and strode into the main house, where he hadn't been in a long time, gritting his back molars.

"Lord ......"

King Yue retreated with a solemn face, and the room was extremely silent for a while, and his gaze fell on the six-pillar bed through a layer of silk tents of gold and silver treasures.

There were a few heart-wrenching coughs from the tent, which stopped for a while, and then continued after a few moments. He turned around and walked to the corner of the wall behind the screen, and after stepping on it several times, the wall on the left against the flower cover instantly collapsed three or four times, revealing several identical black boxes.

Only one of the boxes contained things, and he took the keys and tried them one by one, but found nothing unusual. Quickly restoring the wall, King Yue came to the side of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Asu, you forgot about it in the morning. If you don't want to do a birthday feast, rest in your room and leave it to someone else. ”

There was no reaction on the bed, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, opened the curtain and said, "Asu......"

King Yue's hand froze, and the people in the brocade quilt were powdered with spring and expression, obviously the maid who was sent by Mrs. Zhang in the morning, where was the princess Yuan!

His face turned pale with anger, and he grabbed the woman's hair and roared: "Bold slave maid, dare to deceive this king!" Who told you to pretend to be the princess here! ”

The maidservant's clothes faded, and she slipped off the bed like a fish, and looked aggrieved: "Her Royal Highness the princess sent someone to let me stay in the main house after lunch and not go out, the slave maid just obeyed her order, but the prince didn't know about it!" ”

When she came out of the study, the princess gave her a valuable hairpin, which she thought was a hint that she should stop following Madame Zhang. After thinking about it, she felt that although Mrs. Zhang was young and favored, she was not as deep as the concubine who had been in charge of the palace for 20 years, so that she was busy agreeing when she got the order of the princess's personal maid in the afternoon. She was born in a Qinglou and was short-sighted, and it was a great opportunity to serve in the main house, and the princess asked her to pretend to be a princess, probably speculating that her husband who was estranged from her liked this tune?

King Yue took a few deep breaths, the muscles on his forehead were exposed, and he called out loudly: "Come on!" Drag this shameless slut to the firewood room and give this king a good treatment for her! ”

The maid knew that she was in trouble, and she was so frightened that she lost her face, grabbed his robe and screamed: "Lord! It was the princess who made the slave do this! The slave really doesn't know! ”

The government soldiers outside the door had to order people to come in and drag people, and when they dragged to the door, King Yue suddenly chased after her, pinching her chin fiercely:

"Where's the princess?"

The maid burst into tears and whimpered: "When the slave and maid came in, the princess had just come out of the house, and she went to the right side of the corridor around Shen Shi......

King Yue let go of his hand and asked the guards to quickly leave with the people.

The palace is huge, and he does not go back to the main house once a month to rest, and it is all up to the princess to decide here. It is also within his power to open a guard, but the dark guard did not inform him, it must not be a big incident. He stood on the porch, and looked to the right, and the light of the fire reflected the small half of the sky, and the smoke and dust filled the air.

Fubei.

King Yue dragged a government soldier, "Ask someone to find the princess, otherwise you will be killed alive!" ”

*

On the other side of the Qi Kingdom, the hand of the housekeeper serving tea was a little unsteady.

The sun was fine, and the new branches and leaves of the locust tree were very green and fluffy, but Si Fu's heart was like hanging seventeen or eighteen buckets of water, and he couldn't even speak very well.

There are only two rooms in the house, and the main house is not allowed to enter, so it is impossible for people to go to the next person's room to talk about important things, so a small wooden table was set up in the narrow courtyard to replace the original rattan chair.

The two sat opposite each other, and the visitor was a young man whom they had never met, with a beautiful face, dusty and a slight limp in his right leg.

"Excuse me, when will Tsukasa be able to ......?"

Si Fu asked bluntly: "Can you register your name now?" Why, isn't it convenient to sue the old man outside the door? ”

The young man stood up and said, "The contemptible Lin Qizhi is a doctor from Huimin Pharmacy, who has just come from Nan'an Province, and he has a message to bring to Master Si. ”

Si Fu Senran stared at him, he hadn't heard of this person, was it a coincidence that he came here at this juncture?

"Say."

"I need to say to Master Si face to face, it's about Si Gongzi, and I have to be cautious."

Si Fu was shocked, and his face still didn't show a hint of discoloration, "My son-in-law is studying well in his hometown, what do you mean by this." ”

Lin Qizhi's white round face showed surprise, and he took out something from his sleeve and handed it to the butler.

Si Fu squeezed the jade pendant tightly, and a few old tears couldn't help but overflow his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Gong...... Childe, how is he? ”

Lin Qizhi sighed: "Is Master Si really at home?" If you know the details, it's okay to tell you below, but it doesn't seem like you know much. ”

Si Fu wiped away his tears and said with a cold face: "Boy, do you want to fool the past?" The old man has eaten decades more than you! ”

The other party bowed his head humbly, "The prince of your mansion was originally studying in the south, but he was kidnapped and used as a blackmail to seek wealth. Master Si is honest and upright, and he doesn't have so many silver tickets, and he hasn't handed over the money to the informant in the capital after a while, so he is naturally anxious. ”

He spoke slowly, as if he were telling a bland story to outsiders.

Si Fu got up from his chair suddenly, he really didn't know what was going on, he just watched the old man get more and more uneasy for a month, but how could this stranger know so much detail? “

Lin Qizhi smiled bitterly, loosened his belt, turned around and unbuttoned his shirt, and the shocking back scars pierced the butler's eyes in an instant-dense purple-red whip marks, and the rolled flesh had not yet grown, which was extremely terrifying.

Sifu took a few steps back, "This, this is ......"

"I happened to stay with Si Gongzi for a few days, and I was kidnapped by the killer in exchange for silver. Si Gongzi was very affectionate, and gave me the token, luring away the guards who were guarding us so that I could escape. Naturally, a helpless doctor like me was caught before he could escape two miles, and they locked me in my room and tortured me to death, but finally called a doctor to cure my wounds and escorted me all the way to Beijing. ”

He got dressed and approached the butler, his eyes suddenly bloodshot, and he said in a dumb voice, "I understand their intentions......"

"You! ……”

"Master Si has been dead for two or three hours, right?"

The butler let out a cry of extreme horror, fell to the ground, and kept shrinking to the roots of the tree, "You, you ......"

Lin Qizhi said softly: "Take me to the room." It's already surrounded by them, you listen—"

Si Fu's whole body tensed, and he couldn't hear any other movement, he looked at this man with a trembling guard, and climbed up the stone steps.

"Squeak-"

The dreary air poured into their lungs, and the main room swallowed them like beasts with their mouths open.

There was the master who was lying on the bed, and Sifu couldn't support it anymore, so he collapsed on the ground and covered his chest panting.

Lin Qizhi looked around the room and said with a smile: "Uncle, you don't have to be afraid of me, there is only one thing, we have to talk about it behind closed doors." If you help me enter the Tai Hospital, they will keep your son-in-law safe and sound, otherwise he will die, and I will also die, as for you...... I think it's pretty much the same. ”

Si Fu's heart tingled like a pinprick, and he was dazzled, "No...... No, I can't! ”

"Do you know why the court sentenced him to die tragically at home?" He furrowed his brow, "Because he's disobedient." Rest assured, this room is full of hired killers, and no third person will hear our conversation. I need to go into the hospital and get something and give it to the person who cares about me, so I can be free, haha......"

His eerie laughter flickered through the gloomy bedroom, and Sifu leaned feebly against the corner of the wall, seeing a hand holding the pill reach out in front of him, breaking his mouth and stuffing it into his throat. He grabbed his neck and retched, but the huge pill melted in his mouth, and all he spat on the ground was clear water.

Lin Qizhi said ruthlessly: "If you want to blame the Zuo Yuan judge, if it weren't for her, how could I become the person I am now?" ”

He raised his hand to peel off a piece of skin from his face, and the flesh and blood from the corner of his eyes to the left side of his face were blurred, "Hehe...... Peel it off and cover it up, what a good means! ”

Si Fu's eyes widened, and his lips trembled silently.

He turned his head to face the door, "Because of her, your master is not only very unhappy in the palace, but also harms his only son, who is ordered to do things...... Whose order you are given, you also know it in your heart! Now that the court of Tai Hospital is cold, whoever sits in the judgment position of this hospital is the next doctor in the world, why not be criticized for being from the countryside and not being innocent! ”

Sifo coughed violently, and his tongue tasted the sweetness of blood.

"It's her...... It's all her......" Lin Qizhi muttered to himself, if it wasn't for the Zuo Yuan's judgment to let him follow him to the mountain for medical treatment, how could he fall off the cliff on horseback, and be caught by the killers of the Judgment Rain Hall and brutally whipped and insulted!

He said it according to what they taught him, and in the end he was extremely resentful, as if the mastermind behind the single-handedly planned plan was really the former deputy of the pharmacy. He didn't have time to care, they had the same purpose as him, they wanted her life, why didn't he want to!

If you continue this step, you can't turn back, and he doesn't regret it at all. Thinking that he was always the last doctor in the pharmacy in the past, whether it was Qi Ming who was recruited with him, or the Yan doctors who were stationed later, all of them were better than him, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking that this life was hopeless, but now that there was an opportunity, he wanted to let them see!

He didn't just want to go to the hospital for a day.

Lin Qizhi recovered the gentle and polite tone when they met, and raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Then let's talk carefully to the old man about the things that need to be prepared." I'm sorry to scare you. ”

He bent down to help Si Fu to his feet, his nails digging deep into the wrinkled back of the butler's hand, and Si Fu was laid on the stool by him, his eyes blank.

At lunchtime, the Liu family next door saw a man in Tsing Yi coming out of the court's office. He was very puzzled, the Sifu generally doesn't see outsiders, this person is dressed like the most ordinary person, what is he doing in Junjinfang?

The young man felt his gaze and smiled at him, and the family couldn't help but nod and say hello.

An hour later, there was a commotion at the entrance of Changping Street. Seven or eight guards in the yamen were armed with waist knives, lined up and walked briskly to this side, followed by several famous brands.

The guards whispered, and after two cups of tea, two wooden shelves covered with white cloth were lifted out of the gate of the mansion, and everyone was extremely shocked.

The court ruled that something happened at home?

"Silence!"

The wind was blowing in the alley, and when the corner of the white cloth was lifted, the housekeeper saw a section of washed white sleeves and an old and swarthy hand.

It's the old servant in the house who washes vegetables and cooks!

The shelves that followed hooked their eyes, revealing half-inch black soles under the white cloth, extremely clean and slightly dust-free.

Manage...... The verdict of the court?
