Chapter 164: The Cliff Is Half Dead—Gouging Out Your Eyes
"Where did the robbers come from, since they dare to kill people and oversell goods in broad daylight, brothers, quickly arrest them and send them to the official!" Zishan shouted at the mountain in an official uniform.
The black-clothed men were shocked when they saw that there seemed to be a team of people and horses under the mountain, and casually pushed the Liu family and the Ding shopkeeper down the mountain, and flew away. This mountain is already very steep, and if you walk carefully, you are afraid of falling, and the Liu family and the shopkeeper Ding are like gravel falling from the cliff, watching the bones roll down.
Zishan and Zilin hurriedly flew to catch it, and a few of them rose and fell to the bottom of the mountain, and carefully put the people on the ground.
Ling'er waved his hand and asked Qingxi to disband the group of people behind him, these people were originally stone quarrying workers behind the mountain, and one of them changed into official uniforms and came over to pretend to be officers and soldiers, but they could earn a few copper plates in the blink of an eye, so why not do it, and leave happily one by one.
Looking at the Liu family and the Ding shopkeeper again, both of them were covered with blood on their faces, and they were miserable. Ling'er bent down to try his nose, but the shopkeeper Ding was no longer breathing, and he finally died in Huangquan with one move. sighed, Ling'er reached out again to try if the Liu family was still alive, as if she was still a little angry, and couldn't help but sigh that her vitality was so strong, and she was really an immortal. Unexpectedly, the Liu clan suddenly opened his eyes and opened his mouth to bite the finger that Ling'er put on his lips. Ling'er was in unbearable pain in an instant, and her left hand stretched out and cut straight at her eyes, only to hear "Ah!" With a scream, Liu's two eyes were already out of their sockets and thrown to the ground in blood. Ling'er withdrew her hand, fortunately, the bite was not long, but she suffered some skin trauma. "I didn't intend to take your eyes, but you asked for your own hardship, so you should pay tribute to the red jade, and your mother and daughter owe her!" Ling'er said angrily and hatefully.
Qingxi came over and put the two eyeballs on the ground into a box, "Miss, what to do with these two?"
"I knew that she was dead, so my senior brother and I should have thrown them directly down the cliff to feed the wolves, and hurt my junior sister in vain." Zilin kicked Liu's painful convulsive body.
"Inform the Ding family to come and collect the body, as for her, keep it for now, maybe it will be useful in the future." Ling'er circled around the Liu family, and let her die so easily, wouldn't it be cheaper for her precious daughter.
"Back to the master, the subordinates have thrown the two of them off the cliff with their own hands."
Ji Qian finally put his mind at ease, waved them down, and said to Wang Bo who was standing next to him: "When you go to the county office, you will say that you will come to visit Mrs. on my orders, and let the king be generous and ready, and the prime minister will arrive later."
Uncle Wang took the order to go out and went straight to the yamen. At this time, all the people in the yamen had been sent out to find the two who were abducted last night, and the county official Wang Dafang was even more restless, and the tea brought by the maid was cold for a while and hot for a while, and it had already dropped several cups in a row, and everyone was careful with them, and no one dared to approach.
"Master, the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion asks to see you." The officials below came in to report.
Wang Dafang couldn't help frowning, the meaning of coming here at this time couldn't be clearer. After hesitating, Fu Bo had already entered the inner room, "Lord Wang is busy with official business, and the old slave is disturbed, but Xiangye told the old slave to come and take the lead, and go to visit my wife first, and he will arrive later." ”
"This." Before Wang Dafang's words could be spoken, the sweat on his forehead was already densely gushing out.
"Could it be that the old slave came to visit the prison and the king refused to see him? It's necessary for my family to go out in person?" Fu Bo sat down on the Taishi chair next to him with a shelf, and squinted at Wang Dafang.
"The lower officials don't dare, it's just that something happened in the county government prison last night, and Mrs. Xiangfu and the adulterous shopkeeper Ding are gone." The matter has come to this point, Wang Dafang has to tell the truth.
"The county government prison is a heavy place to detain prisoners, how can people say that it is gone, what kind of family are you and my prime minister's mansion, how can you be coaxed at will, if you can't see my wife today, my family is bound to go to the emperor to sue you for the crime of being a strong and powerful outside the official, and selling your reputation and reputation, when the time comes, you will lose your official position and abandon your lordship, and it is difficult to predict whether you will keep your head or not."
"The lower officials are ignorant, and please show you the way out." Wang Dafang hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed again and again in prayer.
Wang Funa also felt that it was almost the same, and for the sake of safety, he was silent again, and saw that Wang Dafang's head had already been knocked up a blood bag, and blood was already flowing down his forehead. Only then did he pretend to ask: "Lord Wang, why is this, you are your official, what does my Prime Minister have to do with you?"
Wang Dafang was stunned for a while, what does this mean, why did he suddenly pretend to be nothing, it was not that he didn't want to help himself, but it didn't look like it. "The Prime Minister's Mansion and my county government are the same?"
"The Prime Minister's Mansion has nothing to do with the county government, and my wife of the Prime Minister's Mansion naturally has nothing to do with the county government prison, the old slave is going to go back to the Xiangye to pay the errand, what do you think?"
Wang Dafang suddenly realized, got up and said again and again: "The lower official understands, the lower official understands, please go slowly!"
Uncle Wang suddenly said with a gloomy face: "If you don't understand, you can speak carefully, don't cause yourself unnecessary trouble in the future!"
Wang Dafang nodded and replied vigorously: "Yes, yes, yes." Only then did Uncle Wang go out of the door.
Ji Ran waited for a day, but still didn't hear any news about her mother, so she was so anxious that she walked around the room. Shen'er had the heart to say something to comfort the princess, but she couldn't talk about it when she thought about it, so she had to be anxious while accompaniing.
"The prince is here, princess, you should pay more attention." The little maid who was guarding outside, Xiao Yetou, reached in and whispered.
Ji Ran stabilized his mind and sat down at the table calmly. At one moment, King Rui came in, the two sat opposite each other, King Rui put down the teacup and said, "I heard that something happened to the lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, the princess's mother?"
The Liu family incident has already been rumored in this house, and Concubine Li and others are even more hyped up when they meet people, for fear that others will not know, one is ten, ten is hundred, and after everyone polishes, the god of early wear is more red-faced than the romantic history, where would King Rui not know, he has not been to Ji Ran's courtyard, but he chose this time, the meaning of which is very obvious.
Hearing King Rui mention his mother, Ji Ran was sad for a while, stood up and knelt down and said: "Mother is just confused for a while, and now it is a big mistake, and the concubine is not very hopeful, she just wants to keep her a cheap life, and it is also a little filial piety for me as a daughter to live."
King Rui stretched out his hand and pulled it up, and whispered in his ear: "This makes it natural to have a father who loves the concubine, and the master is definitely not the ruthless and unrighteous person, the concubine is just waiting." After some comfort, Ji Ran felt a little more at ease, and the two had not been together for many days, although Ji Ran did not have this mind at this time, but King Rui's ears and temples were grinding, half bent and half yielded, and after a while, he had already rolled to the ground.
Ji Ran tried to get up from the ground, where did she dare to move, she only felt that the bones in her body were scattered, and the pain everywhere was unbearable. Shen'er watched King Rui go out, so he came in and helped him to the bed, and when he lifted his clothes, he saw that the bruises on his skin extended from the back, chest to his neck, and even his two arms were shocking. Sighing softly, he took the softest wide silk dress and waited carefully for the master to change out of his dirty clothes. Ji Ran lay down and rested quietly, but her eyes stared at the curtain on the top of the bed, and she finally couldn't rest assured of her mother.
"Princess Niangniang, the Prime Minister sent someone over to say that there is something to report in person, Madame." Xiao Ye lifted the curtain and came in.
Shen'er glanced at her again and again, meaning to scold her for not knowing when to look, the princess had just rested for a while, and it was really inappropriate to come and disturb at this time, in case there was any bad news, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire.
Xiao Ye was so frightened by Shen'er's eyes that he didn't dare to say any more, the pestle was in place, he didn't know what to do for a while, he looked at the princess and then at Shen'er.
"Princess, you have a good rest first, let the slave go out to see the situation and then report to you, even if Xiangye goes to save Madame, there will be no news so soon, I think it must be Xiangye who can't rest assured of you, and I don't know who sent someone to visit." Shen'er said to the princess who was trying to sit up.
"Let that person come in quickly, this concubine doesn't matter much, this matter is important." Ji Ran endured the pain around him and shouted again and again.
Xiao Ye heard this, and hurriedly went out to call someone, but after a while, a woman dressed as a mother-in-law entered the room, and when she looked carefully, it was the mother-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Granny Zhang. "The maid has seen Princess Rui, and the princess sent the slave and maid over to reply to the princess, saying that the lady is fine, please rest assured, when the time is ripe in the future, your mother and daughter may be able to meet."
After Ji Ran listened, he waved his hand to let Shen'er send Granny Zhang out, and slowly lay down again, finally relieved.
Shen'er sent Granny Zhang outside, found a place where no one was, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law works hard, I want you to make a trip, this is something to give you wine and food, and then ask you an old word, have you seen it after Mrs. came out?"
Granny Zhang smiled so much that she couldn't see her eyebrows, took the silver, and replied: "This kind of thing is naturally done by other people, and an old woman like us stays in the house all day, where can I see it, but I heard that it was sent out of the city, oops, don't say much, I still have something to do, I will be scolded again if I go late, and the girl doesn't need to send it anymore." After saying that, he left happily.
Shen'er stood in place and watched the woman leave, wondering if this was as the woman said, and after a long time she wanted to turn around and go back.
"Isn't this the pendant in the princess's sister's room? How can you have time to come out to play, I heard that the prince went to your courtyard today, is my sister okay? Don't worry about her mother's family all day long, it's not good if the prince who serves is unhappy. Concubine Li pinched her waist, pulled her voice, and swayed loudly, afraid that others would not hear her.
"Don't worry about Concubine Lao Li, the princess of my family is serving the princess, the lord said that he will come over at night, and the slave will go back to do something, so I won't gossip with you." After speaking, she turned around and left, and Concubine Yu Li was so angry that she stomped her feet and scolded secretly in her heart. (To be continued.) )
