Chapter 194: Quickly go to the Punishment Department
Because it was the fire in Concubine Shu's mother's house, the Soldiers and Horses Division quickly sent people to put out the fire, but unfortunately, no matter how much water was splashed, it would turn into water vapor and disappear. Everyone was busy for a long time, and they could only watch the Xiao family turn into ashes in a fire.
The head of the Xiao family was so angry that he rolled his eyes and passed out on the street, and when the mother of the Xiao family was busy asking how much of her property had been damaged, she unexpectedly learned that the eldest son of her family was drunk and slept in another courtyard, and unfortunately failed to escape and was burned to death.
With a bang, the housemother of the Xiao family also lay there. She was angry and felt that she couldn't live this day, I would die, so she really died. As a result, as soon as the housewife of the Xiao family took her last breath, the little girl who had just passed the news came back and said that Xiao Yuhe was not burned to death, it was a miscommunication, and Xiao Yuhe was drunk and stayed in Hualou.
Yes, this time, the Xiao family was angry and killed a housemother, and the top and bottom suddenly became a mess. As soon as the head of the Xiao family woke up, he heard that his wife was angry because of the false news, and he almost fainted again. Fortunately, there are enough aunts and wives of the Xiao family, and this persuasion is appeased, and the head of the Xiao family is persuaded to calm down.
But the mistress died, and the family business was completely ruined, which was a calamity. Xiao Qiyu thought that Lao Tzu's family was gone, but there was still a daughter? So he took the family and went to the palace.
Concubine Xiao Shufei had a hard time this time, she clearly remembered that she was kidnapped by the big palace maid Ziyuan next to the queen, tied to the beam of the cold palace and whipped hard. But when I opened my eyes, I appeared in the dormitory, and my body was so dignified that I didn't even have my clothes torn.
asked the palace maids and eunuchs around him, and none of them said that they had ever been out. insisted that she had said since the morning that she was unwell and wanted to rest, so she never got up.
Concubine Xiao Shufei was going crazy, she dreamed as soon as she closed her eyes, and dreamed that Ziyuan tied herself up and beat herself, and she collapsed. But when I opened my eyes, it was another dream.
So Concubine Xiao Shufei hasn't closed her eyes for several days, for fear that she will dream of being beaten again when she falls asleep. As a result, her face is now haggard and like a withered body, and even when the emperor comes a few times, she can only call herself sick.
This night, Concubine Xiao Shufei was already extremely sleepy, and she didn't sleep for several days. Not only is it a great burden on the body. It is also a kind of torture for the human spirit. She couldn't resist the temptation of the Sandman, and just closed her eyes and fell asleep.
This time, Concubine Xiao never dreamed that she was being hanged again, but she had just fallen asleep. It felt like someone was pushing her all the time. Pushing her to the fire. After three times and twice. Concubine Xiao Shufei finally woke up, she was together, and she was so angry that she stretched out her hand and slapped her. Screamed: "Dog minion, don't you know that Bengong is asleep?" ”
The room was silent.
Concubine Xiao Shufei yawned, rubbed her eyes, and didn't wait for the sound of apology she expected, she looked at it suspiciously, and suddenly lost her face with fright, and immediately got up from the bed and knelt.
"Your Majesty...... The concubines don't know...... The emperor forgives the sins! ”
Concubine Xiao Shufei kowtowed this time, the bed board rattled, and she trembled.
Seeing that Concubine Shu's forehead was oozing blood, and the pure white sheets were stained with blood, Emperor Xuanwu said gloomily: "It's okay, Concubine Ai has been on fire recently, it seems that she is very angry." ”
Concubine Xiao Shushu raised her head tremblingly, and when she saw the five finger prints on the emperor's face, she was so frightened that tears and snot flowed together: "Your Majesty, the concubine really didn't know that the emperor had arrived, the concubine was not in good health during this time, and she couldn't sleep, she just fell asleep today, but I didn't expect the emperor to arrive, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." ”
Emperor Xuanwu leaned over with a gentle face, touched the blood stains on Concubine Xiao's forehead, put his fingers to the tip of his nose, smelled the bloodstains, and then smiled very satisfied: "It's okay for me to say it, but Concubine Ai doesn't know that I am here in person, right?" Besides, even if Concubine Ai knows that it is me, what if she beats me, it is not Concubine Ai who has the final say in this palace? ”
Concubine Xiao Shufei was so frightened that she trembled like a leaf in the autumn wind, and she didn't even know what to say for a while, so she could only kneel on the bed and kowtow. Emperor Xuanwu had played enough, and stood up with the corners of his mouth.
"I'm just here to tell you that your whole family is outside the city, waiting for you to help. I heard that your whole family was burned clean, and you didn't even grab an inkstone, so I'm very worried, so it's better for you to hurry up and take a look. ”
Concubine Xiao Shufei's kowtowing action froze suddenly, and she raised her head for a while, but Emperor Xuanwu had already left, where was he still there?
Concubine Xiao Shu didn't know how she ordered someone to send her female dependents into the palace, and when she came back to her senses, there were already more than 20 women of all sizes sitting in the palace, wiping tears at her.
"Mother, you have to call the shots for us. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who are so bold and dare to set fire to and hurt people like this. Arson in our Xiliang Kingdom is a capital crime, Niangniang, you must find out the person behind this scene for us and avenge the eldest lady! ”
Concubine Xiao Shufei blinked, feeling that her voice was not her own: "What did you say, what's wrong with my mother?" ”
"!" The one who spoke just now was the daughter-in-law of the second eldest of the main family, and she was also the uncle of Concubine Shu, and she had a good relationship with Concubine Shu on weekdays, so she forgot that this was the palace for a while, and howled: "The eldest lady thought that He'er was burned to death, so she died in a fit of anger!" ”
Boom - Concubine Shu's mind was like a gong slamming in her ear, and she couldn't hear anything. A buzzing sound came from her ears, and her brain hurt more and more. Then, her eyes went dark and she collapsed on the bed.
The queen received the letter and said that Concubine Shu was not good, so she hurriedly sent someone to invite the emperor. Emperor Xuanwu sat in the imperial study and listened to the news lightly, and smiled lightly after listening: "Since you are not in good health, you naturally go to the imperial doctor." However, Concubine Shu said that she had been in poor health a few days ago, and she couldn't even close her eyes. On weekdays, who dragged Concubine Shu out to kill her, and replaced her with a reliable imperial doctor. ”
As soon as this order went, the queen didn't say anything, nodded and only let people do it, and she went back to sleep by herself, with peace of mind. On a big night, who is rare to be poor and crazy with her family.
The palace didn't stop all night, Xiao Qiyu got the silver from the palace of the concubine, and took the rest of the men to the inn to rest, but when he woke up in the morning, not only was the silver just given by the concubine all gone, but even the clothes they took off were gone.
How similar is this scene, how does Xiao Qiyu not know who did it? He gritted his teeth and called one of his clan disciples and ordered: "You borrow a set of clothes, go to the Criminal Department quickly, and inform the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, the Taoist priest who was detained yesterday, let them release him quickly."
