Chapter 281: The Fire
The senior brother seemed to despise what Emperor Chongzhen had done.
Thyme threw the token on the table, looked at the senior brother and said, "But I really want to thank you today." ”
The senior brother smiled indifferently, and his face was much better: "You're welcome, didn't I promise you to protect you, but something has to happen tonight, you'd better sleep in the space at night, don't be surprised I said I know a lot of things about you, everything has a cause and effect." ”
Seeing that the senior brother knew so much, Thyme stopped talking and nodded.
In fact, even if the senior brother doesn't say it, Thyme will go into the space to sleep.
It's almost noon when Thyme counts.
So he went to the kitchen with the dishes.
The elder brother entered the room.
Thyme's cooking skills are not very good, but it is possible to eat it.
I cooked a few home-cooked dishes and steamed a large pot of white rice.
There is no doubt that the elder brother has a good amount of food.
The thyme only ate a little, and the rest was eaten by the elder brother.
Looking at the big pot of rice that was enough for six or seven people, as well as the dishes on the table, all went into the stomach of the senior brother.
Thyme was really a little surprised.
"How big is your belly? Eating so much and still not full? ”
The senior brother hiccuped and said, "I'm really full, I haven't eaten here comfortably for a long time, for the sake of your sincerity, I decided to help you." ”
Thyme blinked at the senior brother and said, "What are you going to help me with?" ”
"Naturally, I'm helping your father settle things, I'll go out later." I'm not a person who doesn't work for nothing. "Senior Brother said righteously.
After eating, Thyme didn't see anyone from the elder brother.
Night, in the dead of night.
Thyme suddenly heard a strange sound coming from downstairs.
Thyme cautiously opened the door, walked into the hallway and looked down, only to see the elder brother sitting alone on a stool in the lobby with an oil lamp.
"Big brother." Thyme shouted softly.
The senior brother raised his head and looked at thyme, then beckoned and said, "Come down and give me some medicine with your secret medicine, I'm injured." ”
Hearing that the senior brother was injured, Thyme went downstairs worriedly.
Only then did I find out that the senior brother's back was covered with blood.
"Why are you hurt?" Thyme asked with some concern.
Although she has only known Senior Brother for a day, Thyme feels that Senior Brother is really a good person.
Looking along the bloodstains, thyme found. The elder brother is bleeding from the position of the shoulder blade.
"You hold back and I'll drug you." Thyme saw that the senior brother gritted his teeth. I also know it hurts.
The senior brother said helplessly: "Let you see the smile, I met an opponent when I came back at night, and the emperor's side Mo Wei was careless." He was successfully injured by their sneak attack. You helped me finish the medicine. I'll leave later, and I guess the emperor's guards will come. Emperor Chongzhen has no intention of giving up, and wants to find your stubble. Find an excuse to tie you up in the open. ”
Thyme was a little surprised to hear this.
After all, in her heart, what she thought was that Emperor Chongzhen would not dare to act rashly now.
But I don't want to......
"You don't have to hide, just eat a disguised fruit, and immediately go into the house to change your clothes, give me the bloody clothes, and I'll help you deal with it."
When Thyme said this, the senior brother did not refuse.
The secret medicine thyme was not diluted, and the elder brother's wound recovered quickly.
After the elder brother's wounds were healed, Thyme gave a disguised fruit to the elder brother.
When the senior brother came out after changing his clothes, he had completely changed a person.
The previous senior brother gave people the feeling that he was the type that was very conspicuous in the crowd, but now the appearance of the senior brother is too ordinary.
Ordinary enough to walk into the crowd, no one will notice him.
Thyme nodded with satisfaction and took the clothes that the senior brother had changed from his hands.
Stretching her waist, thyme is a little tired.
It's quiet on the street.
"I don't think the guards will be here tonight!" Thyme said with a frown.
The senior brother shook his head: "They will come, I know Emperor Chongzhen, and he won't be able to jump for a few days, but you still have to be careful now, after all, he is not a bright and upright person now." ”
Thyme nodded, indicating that she understood.
But I'm too sleepy right now.
"I'll go sleep for a while, and you can go rest too, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth."
Thyme was about to go upstairs.
Suddenly, I heard a commotion in the distance.
"What's going on out there?" Thyme retreated with some confusion, then opened one of the windows of the inn and looked outside.
In the eastern direction of the city, the firelight reflected half of the sky.
And that's where the noise comes from.
Thyme frowned, glanced at the senior brother suspiciously, but heard the senior brother say: "If you want to go and see, go and see, it's the Jia family." ”
The elder brother is like an uncertain prophet.
Thyme glanced at the senior brother again in astonishment, did she not expect that the senior brother actually knew that it was the Jia family, could it be that the senior brother had something to do with this matter?
Thyme thought in a mess.
The senior brother glanced at the surprised thyme a little helplessly and said, "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, this matter has nothing to do with me at all." Then it burned because someone wanted to destroy the Jia family, and your little five is probably coming back. ”
After speaking, the senior brother shrugged his shoulders and did not go back to the room, but continued to sit down.
Thyme was actually a little skeptical from the first time she saw the senior brother.
Frowning, Thyme tilted her head and stared at the senior brother and said, "Are you going to be a prophet?" I think you brothers and sisters should all have their own specialties, An Le has a smart head, and knows how to strategize, you should be a prophet, otherwise how would you know that it is the Jia family, and how do you know that Xiao Wu will come back immediately? ”
After Thyme asked, the senior brother glanced at Thyme appreciatively, and then the senior brother praised him unreservedly: "You are really smart." It's also right that An Le likes you, I'm a prophet of inevitability, but I can't use it from time to time, it's a peek into the heavens, and there is a price to pay. ”
It was the first time that Thyme had heard the senior brother say this.
While the two were talking, the door of the inn was slammed.
Xiao Wu's voice came hurriedly at this time.
Thyme hurriedly went to open the door.
Xiao Wu was sweating.
And there was a horse at the door of the inn.
"Miss is not good, Bailiqin set fire to the courtyard of Jiafu, and now Jiafu is burning, the fire is very big, I don't know how to extinguish it." Xiao Wu was very anxious.
Thyme glanced at the senior brother again in surprise. saw the senior brother sitting there leisurely looking at her. ”
"Tell me what's going on." Thyme asked Xiao Wu carefully.
Xiao Wu then took out the letter from his arms. handed it to thyme: "Miss, this is a letter from Bailiqin to you, this is what she gave me when it was dark, and there have been a lot of maids and maids during the day today, and Mrs. Jia did not embarrass those maids." All of them were released. But I heard that Mrs. Jia sprinkled all her anger on Bailiqin's body. It is said that during the day, Bailiqin was also punished. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Wu sighed.
Bailiqin really became Bailiqin's outcast in this way. has become a thorn in the eye of the Jia family.
Thyme was also a little helpless.
Opening the letter, Thyme looked quietly.
Half-ringing, thyme said to Xiao Wu: "Try to put out the fire as much as possible, by the way, has the yard next door been affected?" ”
Xiao Wu shook his head and said, "The yard next door was not affected by anything, when it caught fire. The walls and houses connected to Jia's house were splashed with water in the courtyard next door, and there were small servants watering all the time, so the courtyard next door had no impact. ”
Standing up, Thyme put the letter in her arms.
She really didn't expect that in the end, Bailiqin would choose such a means to die.
It's really tragic.
"Take me to see it!"
The senior brother also said at this time: "Anyway, I'm not sleepy, let's go with you!" ”
Thyme is no comment.
Since the senior brother said that he was going, he would go with him.
Little Five led the horse into the stables of the inn.
Then he drove the carriage out.
By the time Thyme and the others arrived at Jia's house, Jia's backyard had burned out.
Although the fire was extinguished, the Jia family suffered heavy losses this time.
Mrs. Jia had a very big opinion of Thyme, and now she saw Thyme rushing directly in front of Thyme.
"It's all you, it's all you, if it weren't for you, how would our family be like this, if it weren't for you, how could Bailiqin do such a thing."
Mrs. Jia was stopped by Xiao Wu before she could get close to Thyme, and Mrs. Jia could only yell at Thyme excitedly through Xiao Wu.
Thyme looked at the hysterical Mrs. Jia, and shook her head helplessly: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, don't you know who is to blame for Baili Qin becoming what he is today?" Your family deserves this. ”
After Thyme said this, she went straight to the backyard.
The people involved in the firefighting were all thyme people.
The first time I entered the backyard of Jia's house, it was still a new house in Wangcheng, and after a rough look at thyme, the backyard of the house was basically burned down, although the overall structure of the house was not completely burned down, but it was black everywhere.
Thyme remembers what Thyme said at the beginning.
The Jia family's house deeds and land deeds are all in the rockery in the backyard.
Old Man Jia is angry, and Mrs. Jia is also looking like she is about to die.
Thyme has no worries.
The elder brother seemed to know what Thyme was going to do.
Closely followed by thyme.
Thyme went to the rockery.
The rockery is very large, especially in this not very large garden, which seems very abrupt.
Thyme looked around the rockery, but she didn't see anything wrong with the rockery.
"Bailiqin said that there is a dense inside this rockery, but if you look at it like this, it looks like there is a secret room."
Thyme leaned a little decadently against the rockery.
The senior brother was also a little puzzled, he didn't see anything different about this rockery, could it be that he was deceived? (To be continued......)
