Chapter 1: A Fire
Yue Xi slapped the horse and went straight out of the west gate of the imperial capital, and only dared to let the horses rest for a while all the way, and ran back to the palace on the mountain road in the middle of the night.
Now that she has turned her face with the emperor of Dazhao, there is no peace in the palace for a moment, and her thoughts are flying along the way, and her heart is like a knife.
But she forcibly suppressed her thoughts and didn't think much about Yingsu.
Now that it's over, let's let it go, if you think too much, you can't get along with yourself!
She still has the family members in the palace who need to be rescued, so she doesn't have time to make herself sad.
"Gawain! Su Jinyan! Big! Open the door! ”
In the dark night, Yue Xi's hurried voice in the empty valley was very abrupt.
"Master?!"
Yue Xi, who was standing outside the palace gate, had a pale face that was almost transparent, and even a calm Gao Gonggong exclaimed in surprise when he saw her.
"Hmm." Yue Xi turned around and pointed to the big white horse that kept squirting hot air out of his nostrils and said, "Take it to Baoqi's house and put Baoqi in the car, be quick!" ”
"Yes!" Gawain didn't ask much, and with one hand he fastened the belt of his robe and went down the steps.
The night was too dark, and he had just stepped up a step and his feet slipped, and Yue Xi grabbed him: "Be careful!" ”
Gao Gonggong nodded, but smiled: "The old slave is anxious, and he has waited for a few years to wait for today's ......."
"Master, just today?" Su Jinyan also asked Yue Xi with excitement on his face.
"It's now." Yue Xi let go of his hand and walked inside: "Send them all over?" ”
"Sent it." Su Jinyan followed closely behind Yue Xi and replied as he walked: "According to what you said, when you got off the mountain that day, you sent them away. ”
"Good." Yue Xi nodded, suddenly stopped and asked, "What about the big one?" How not only him? ”
"Boss, I'm here!" The big man's voice came from the side of the wing, Yue Xi looked intently, and saw a small figure sitting at the door of the wing, and the big one was sitting on the threshold wearing cotton boots.
"You're back! I didn't dare close my eyes these two nights. Putting on his boots, the big man ran in front of Yue Xi, looking frightened.
"Don't be afraid." Yue Xi bent down and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "The dead are not terrible, only the living will eat people!" ”
The big man looked up at her good teeth and involuntarily took half a step back, feeling that the big boss was not much stronger than a ghost now, and he was smiling!
"Father-in-law Gao, come with me and let the big man go to the cart and lead the horse!" Seeing the big man's appearance, Yue Xi straightened up and shouted outside.
"Master, don't underestimate me!" As soon as the big man heard this, he immediately straightened up his small waist and ran to the front of Yue Xi: "I'm afraid, but with the master, I'm not afraid!" ”
"Haha! Good! Yue Xi opened her mouth and smiled, inhaling the cool air in her stomach, she had been riding a horse for a day and knew how to steal, so she didn't feel that it was biting cold in the palace, she rolled up her sleeves and walked quickly, in the boundless night, her arms looked extraordinarily white: "Success or failure lies in the last trembling of a few of us, be vigilant!" ”
"Got it!" Several people inside and outside the courtyard responded at the same time, and a few cold birds flew up from the high woods, hovering in the air for only a moment before plunging into the dark night.
"Open!" Lighting two torches and inserting them in the cracks of the open windows, Yue Xi motioned to Su Jinyan to open the copper lock on the door: "Fiddling with this is a handicraft job, don't stretch out your hand." ”
Before she entered the door, she said to the big man with sweat on his head, "When the veterinarian and I have cleaned up all the bones, you have to dust this house, and remember not to leave footprints!" It's a lot of work! ”
Knowing that the big man was not very bold, Yue Xi didn't want to embarrass him, so he saved face.
"That's it." The big man, who was worried in his heart, immediately nodded with a pair of frightened eyes.
Yue Xiti stepped into the room.
glanced at the few coffins neatly placed inside, picked up a few cloth bags piled up at the door with an expressionless face, and walked out: "I'll go to the backyard, you go to Tingtao Palace, and arrange these skeletons as I gave you, don't make mistakes......"
"Yes!" Su Jinyan grabbed the remaining cloth bags on the ground with his hands with a solemn expression, carried them out of the room, and then nodded at the big one standing at the door: "I'm tired." ”
This matter is nine deaths and one life, it was originally not about the few people in the God of Wealth Temple, but now these flowers left in the palace have been dragged in, and Su Jinyan only feels very sorry for others.
"Don't talk to a family." The big man waved at Su Jinyan: "I'm useless, I can only do some manual work, veterinarian, hurry up and help our big boss!" ”
"Hmm." Su Jinyan nodded, in the cold night of early winter, hearing his words, I only felt extremely warm.
Yue Xi went straight to the house of a few concubines, only raised her eyes and looked inside, then began to open the cloth bags in her hand, she took a deep breath, and said to those cloth bags: "Amitabha! It is said that saving people's lives is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, since you have died a long time ago, maybe you are all reincarnated now, I will use your bones to save people, you all have no opinion, right? ”
There was no sound coming from a few pockets with their mouths open.
"Righteousness!" Yue Xi got up and slammed a few bags to the ground, then picked one up and walked to the bed to fiddle with it......
……
"Check it again...... More than a dozen skeletons were placed in different rooms in various poses, Yue Xi and Su Jinyan inspected each room carefully, and then asked, "Is the horse fed?" ”
"Oops!" Father-in-law Gao turned around and left: "The master really forgot ...... if he didn't say it."
"There must be no flaws!" Yue Xi said lightly.
……
In the middle of the night, a fire burned silently in the palace on Huagai Mountain, and even the people in the town saw the sky-high fire.
The sky-high flame.
When Ye Miancheng was woken up by the panicked yacha in the hot quilt, he felt that he had heard something wrong: "Is it useful to talk to the official about the water in the palace!" ”
"If you go back to your lordship, it's not the palace, it's the palace!" The messenger of the letter was anxious to rub his hands at the door, eager to push the door in and pull the adult up the mountain quickly: "It's the palace on Huagai Mountain, my lord, that's in your jurisdiction!" ”
"You go and gather people, and the official will be there soon!" After sending away the errand outside the door, Ye Miancheng crawled out of the quilt and turned around on the ground twice wearing only his underwear: "......Where are my shirts?"
"I'll go too!" Hearing the footsteps of the comer, Ye Qiu got out of the quilt in a slippery way, lit the oil lamp, returned to the bedside and took the clothes that the two of them mixed together, and separated them one by one.
Ye Miancheng took his shirt and put it on one leg, then slapped Ye Qiu's buttocks, and directly hugged him back into the quilt: "Sleep with yours, it's none of your business!" ”
"There is a fire in the palace, I won't go to see it!" Ye Qiu couldn't lie down, and sat up again with the quilt on.
"Alas!" Ye Miancheng sighed and said in his heart: You are really a little rabbit, you don't move your brain at all. This fire burns strangely when I hear it, the queen mother has to crawl out of the coffin when she dies, where is it so easy to die......
With his sigh, Ye Qiu was even more anxious when he heard this, he remembered that Yue Xi had taken him in, lest something happen to the queen mother, if that was the case, he would have to rush over to see her off.
"I said why are you disobedient!" Seeing that Ye Qiu got out of the quilt again and began to get dressed, Ye Miancheng reached out and grabbed those clothes and threw them on the ground, without waiting for Ye Qiu to turn his face, he dragged the quilt and wrapped the master inside: "You look at the shop for your mother at home, how many people inside and outside are pointing to this business to eat?" You still don't understand this? What an important thing that is......"
Ye Qiu didn't move, and after thinking for a while, he nodded: "I know, I'll go to the shop and keep an eye later." ”
"That's right!" Ye Miancheng picked up the cotton robe and put it on, stretched out his hand and patted Ye Qiu's face: "I have something to do outside, you can rest assured." ”
"Hey......" Seeing that his hat was crooked and he was about to go out, Ye Qiu stopped the county magistrate, knelt on the bed and sorted out Wusha and official clothes for him, and then whispered: "Be careful......"
"Whoa!" Ye Miancheng hugged him hard and turned around and walked out the door.
……
"My lord, I have checked it all, and a total of twelve houses have been burned down in the palace." The head catcher of Cixian County bowed to the magistrate who was sinking like water.
"What about people? Have you found the masters in the palace? Ye Xian Ling looked like he was going crazy, and the donkey walked back and forth in the courtyard outside the Tingtao Palace, which had been burned to ruins, and he was dizzy when he saw those yachas!
"This ...... The little one doesn't know ......" the catcher lowered his head and said, "The inspection has not been completed yet." ”
"You said a fart if you didn't finish checking!" Ye Xian Ling finally stopped, and he said loudly to the team leader in front of him: "Could it be that you haven't seen a single live mouth after checking for a long time?" ”
The catcher raised his hand and wiped the spitting star that the county commander sprayed on his head, and then said carefully: "There is only one living mouth." ”
Ye Miancheng chuckled in his heart: Didn't Niangniang do it neatly? Why is there still a living mouth?!
"Where? Why didn't you say such a big thing earlier? Let's go, wait for the official to take a look......" Ye Miancheng took a few steps forward with a wave of his official robe, and was immediately forced to take a few steps back by the heat coming from the ruins of Tingtao Palace, he couldn't help but sneer: Such a big fire has burned for more than ten hours, if it weren't for the light snow, I'm afraid it wouldn't be extinguished by now, and there is still a living mouth, that's a hell!
"My lord, over here!" Seeing that the county magistrate was going in the wrong direction, the head catcher hurriedly went over and said, "It's in the courtyard outside!" ”
"Oh." Ye Miancheng frowned, his mind moved quickly, thinking about how he could make up for him if he really had a life that was afraid of death......
"Huh!" Surrounding the big white horse with his head down and leisurely eating forage, the county magistrate sneered a few times: "Is it alive?" ”
"Ahh The head catcher felt that the adult's expression was wrong, and he turned around and wanted to run, but he was not as fast as the county order: "Waste!" At the beginning, the official took so much effort to redeem you, why do you say that you can't even understand a human sentence! ”
The head catcher was a step slower, and was kicked down in front of the big white horse by the county commander on the spot, and the big white horse was obviously taken aback, and kicked the head catcher back in front of the county commander!
Ye Miancheng looked down at him and asked sharply: "Do you remember that you weren't the head of the team at the beginning, who assigned you to be the head catcher?" ”
"It's your lord......" was kicked back and forth, Li Zhutou didn't have his back breath, but fortunately, his brain understood, and he quickly replied to the adult's words.
"......" Ye Miancheng shut up.
"Your Excellency!" There is only one servant in Cixian County, and now he is covered in black and appears outside the door like an old eagle, and he hugged his fist at Ye Miancheng in the house and said: "The subordinates have looked at it twice before and after, but they have not found any live mouth!" ”
