[124] Reunion
On the Seven Peaks Pond, most people don't seem to feel what is happening. However, some sects did find that some of their disciples had disappeared inexplicably. The people of Nanyu were even more anxious, because the princess and the first swordsman of their country had disappeared for several days.
I couldn't find anyone, so I naturally had to go to the organizers.
Li Daochang of the Maoshan faction was like flying, circling around. Where the missing person went, Daochang Li was not completely clueless, so he could only appease all the people who came here to find him first. First to the Tanglin side, according to reliable sources, the princess and swordsman of the Nanyu Kingdom disappeared in the place where the Tanglin people lived. However, when he got there, he couldn't see either the Tanglin Emperor or the Tanglin Empress, and only Yun Chenjing, the sect leader of the Yun clan, was there alone.
Seeing this situation, Li Daochang's heart sank sharply, and he knew that things were not simple. Perhaps, this Empress Tanglin disappeared like the emperor.
In the Donglin people's house, they drank a cup of tea face to face with Yun Chenjing, and then Li Daochang asked: "Sect Master Yun doesn't know where the Son of Heaven has arrived and when he will come back?" β
"What's the matter with the head of the family looking for the Son of Heaven?" Yun Chenjing asked him rhetorically.
The Tanglin Emperor is a distinguished guest who was invited here to watch the battle, in fact, whether he is present or not, it cannot be determined by their organizers, and similarly, their organizers do not have the right to control where the Tanglin Emperor goes.
Li Daochang smiled: "I just heard some bad news, so I had to come here to ask Long Zun." β
"Dao Chief, has something happened recently?" Yunchen Jing seems to ask knowingly.
Li Daochang said angrily in his heart that his old fox was still making trouble after working hard at this point, but he had to beg to kneel, and said: "Don't hide it from the sect master, now that I have calculated it here, I am afraid that nearly forty or fifty people from various sects and factions have disappeared." β
"Where do you think these people have gone?"
"Sect Master, it's impossible for you not to have heard anything about this."
Yun Chenjing took off the tea lid: "I really haven't heard of it." β
Li Daochang's anger jumped to his ribs, and he pressed it vigorously, knowing that the other party wanted him to say those words first, so he was angry, but he had no choice but to say with an open attitude: "The old man knows that it is a big taboo to summon all the dragons to come this time, and in the end he will be hated by everyone." Therefore, I am not afraid to say something again and be disliked. The old man and the sect master will tell the truth. The people of Nanyu have already pointed the finger of the disappearance of their princess and swordsman to Tanglin, just waiting for the appearance of the Son of Tanglin to give a clear answer. The old man persuaded them not to be impatient, and told them that the emperor of Tanglin had no reason to kill the princess of another country. β
"This is to say, the Taoist chief thinks that it was the son of Tanglin who made the princess and swordsman of the southern corner country disappear." Yun Chenjing narrowed his blue eyes.
"According to the old man's information, they are indeed missing here." Li Daochang pointed his finger on the table, meaning that he was helpless. Unless Tanglin can come up with a reasonable explanation to explain it clearly to the people of Nanyu.
Yunchen burst out laughing: "Who saw that they weren't here?" Who can guarantee that they left here and disappeared outside without anyone noticing? If you just want to splash dirty water on Tanglin's head based on unfounded conjecture, does Nanyu Kingdom deliberately target Tanglin? β
After hearing what he said, Daochang Li's face was indisputable.
Of course, Yun Chenjing's rebuttal is reasonable, and no one dares to say that it is wrong. What's more, Tanglin has always been far away from the southern corner country, and it can be said that there is no injustice and no hatred, so why take the princess and swordsman of the southern corner country.
"This, thisβ" Li Daochang's lips trembled, "This is exactly what the old man explained to the people of the southern corner." β
Yun Chenjing gently put the teacup on the table and shook the fan: "Daochang Li, if the people of Nanyu are not convinced, let them Longzun come here directly to find me, although I am a member of the Yun Clan, but who doesn't know that the Yun Clan and Dongling are in a relationship of coexistence and death." Whoever wants to mistreat Tanglin and frame Tanglin can just look for me, just look for me, the same as looking for the son of Tanglin. β
The implication is that you are one or two in the south of the country, so come on.
Li Daochang believes that if the people of Nanyu are here, they must be angry with Yun Chenjing's words.
"Old man, old man will tactfully express the words of the sect master to the envoys of the southern corner country-" Li Daochang weighed his breath and said.
Yun Chenjing shook his fan again: "Is there anything else in charge?" Wouldn't it be someone else, who didn't disappear here, and it would all be counted on Tanglin's head? β
"No, no, how dare you!" Li Daochang said busily.
snapped, closed the fan, and his blue eyes narrowed slightly: "Since there are so many people missing, most of them suspect that they are not here in Tanglin, then they are suspected of whom, don't tell me, don't tell me, say that you only found us here to settle accounts, not anyone else to settle accounts?" β
Li Daochang was choked by his words to the point that his face was full of blue, like a fish in his throat, and he said: "Actually, the old man sent someone to the foot of the mountain to greet the envoys of Xizhen, but, unexpectedly, Xizhen people don't know why, it is reported that they all suddenly returned to China. β
"Returned?"
"Yes."
The handle of the fan struck meaningfully twice in the palm of his hand, and only a pair of glowing blue eyes looked at the top of Li Daochang's head.
Li Daochang was covered in sweat, and naturally knew that he was referring to it, since Xizhen suddenly returned to China for no reason, why didn't he point the object of suspicion at Xizhen, who was the most suspicious.
Li Daochang held his breath hard: "The old man has a disciple near Xizhen, according to the news, his own people in the Xizhen clan seem to have infighting, maybe Xizhen is in a hurry to go back to deal with the problems in the clan." β
"It's really not easy to give an account of so many missing people, and it involves all kinds of sects. In this case, there should be no new missing persons in the last two days, right? β
When Li Daochang heard what he said, his heart pounded suddenly, and he said in his heart, this guy really knows, and he knows it clearly, otherwise, how can he accurately say that no one has disappeared in the past two days, and the words also mean that no one will be missing in the future.
It's as if they've already solved all the problems.
For this reason, Li Daochang stood up tremblingly and bowed: "The old man understands, the old man will go back and tell everyone, there is no need to worry anymore, everything will naturally be revealed by then." β
is a smart person, Yun Chenjing doesn't need to talk to him anymore, and let people send him out.
As soon as Daochang Li left, Yun Chenjing's face suddenly sank. Qinghu walked up to him and whispered, "The subordinates have sent Miss Yun back to Cloud Island safely. β
"Hmm." Yun Chenjing replied heavily.
Two days ago, after Li Zimo and Hua Xiyan disappeared, he secretly withdrew the people of Tanglin and Yun Clan in batches. Today, only the last batch remains. Therefore, although he had just said something to Daochang Li that seemed to be very fearless, this was not their territory after all, and he couldn't rest assured after all.
I'm afraid that the people of the southern corner of the country think that they are the overlords of the south, and they can divide the world into two with Tanglin, and the two heroes who are in the same place as the world, if they go crazy, they really want to take Tanglin to the knife, and in the end they are afraid that they will fall into a lose-lose situation. Why bother? Why bother to start a duel with such a madman who has no advantage in a territory that does not belong to them, there is no need.
After careful consideration, in order to prevent those people from suddenly going crazy, they had to be investigated, and they had to be able to act in front of the people of the world, Yun Chenjing didn't want to start a war with the people of Nanyu here, especially when his brother and Hua Xiyan were uncertain.
"Ready, the last people will all leave tonight." Seeing that the sky was about to end, Yun Chenjing got up and walked to the bedroom inside.
Qinghu immediately went outside to inspect the horses. The last group of evacuations did not use horse-drawn carriages, and all of them switched to Maxima, trying to get out as quickly as possible.
Yun Chenjing walked into the bedroom inside, and on the bed there, lay the unawake little prince Li Dongyu. That's why he stayed until the end. Now, seeing that the child still showed no signs of waking up, his brows furrowed slightly, and he could only wrap the child in a cloak and send him back to China first.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, I reached over to touch the child's hand to see if it was warm, and suddenly found that the child's fingers were gradually becoming blurry and transparent.
Qinghu, who came in to report, also saw this scene, and couldn't be surprised: "Little master, this is?" β
Yun Chenjing raised his finger and "shhhhh
I saw that the little prince was wrapped in a ball of light, and then flew up, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Qinghu covered his heartbeat, and his heart was scared to death, but he looked at his master and smiled, as if he was puzzled: "Sect Master, this? β
"He's looking for his father and his mother." Yun Chenjing remembered Hua Xiyan's last words before leaving, and now that the little prince has disappeared, it just confirms her words, indicating that their family of four is going back to Tanglin's home together.
So, he unfolded the white fan, jumped up, and said happily: "Go!" We're going to hurry up and go back and celebrate. β
Qinghu swallowed his saliva vigorously, anyway, he didn't understand what he said, and he was happy to see him happy, and walked out of the door with him. Riding a thousand-mile horse, taking advantage of the night, hurried to Tanglin.
At the same time, Hua Lao Taijun and his party, who left the Black Dragon Valley, encountered a similar situation. I saw Hua Murong, who was asleep in the arms of Nini, the little pig who had become a beautiful boy, and suddenly he was also covered by a ball of light.
Mrs. Hua was startled, and reached out to snatch the child back, but was stopped by the master of the three gates.
"It's okay, he was just called by his father." The master of the three doors comforted the old lady and said.
"Are you saying he's going home?" Mrs. Hua was instantly reluctant. She and this child have only been together for a few days, and this child is going home so soon, isn't she lonely again.
In the end, this child has a father and mother, someone else's, not hers. The old lady pouted.
The spirit pet that follows the little master must follow the master. Nini the little pig instantly turned back into a piglet and got into the arms of her master. At the same time, the black poodle that the black unicorn turned into jumped up together, competing with the little pig for the position.
It can only be said that this snack is very lively everywhere, and someone is robbing it. Everyone could only watch in amazement as the dog and pig in the light group fought inextricably, each biting each other's ears and not letting go.
Nini the little pig scolded: The old is immortal, can you not rely on the old and sell the old?!
Black Kirin Fu: You are so young, you don't even know how to respect the elderly?!
Until the light group took all three people away, everyone could still see the pig and the dog group fighting together, and they couldn't tell the difference.
Two days ago, Gong Xiangru was the first batch of people who were ordered by Yun Chenjing to ride the fastest horse back to the Tanglin Palace and wait to receive the royal family back to the palace.
When he rushed back to the palace in Tanglin Capital under the escort of Yifeng and Sixth Uncle in the snowy weather, Zhang Mingxian and the others were not surprised to see him suddenly come back alone.
Everyone didn't expect that it was the Tanglin Emperor and Empress who had an accident, but thought that he had rushed back after getting the news that the Qi family and the Gong family had left Beijing suddenly.
Zhang Ming stepped forward to salute the palace first, opened his mouth with a little guilt, and said: "When Lord Qi left, the old minister really didn't know. Right now, Lin Shangshu is thinking about the past behind closed doors, and he regrets it a lot. β
The sudden news could only make Gong Xiangru, who had no idea about this matter before, stunned: "Lord Qi has returned to his hometown?" β
"Yes." Zhang Mingxian sighed.
Gong Xiangru thought in his heart, it must be that Master Qi wanted to avoid him, and simply took his daughter to return to his hometown while he was away. That's a good thing, too. He thought.
But later, Zhang Ming first said that his parents ran away together, which made Gong Xiangru's heart pound, and he was up and down.
Yifeng and Sixth Uncle heard the news next to them, and they both covered their mouths and snickered.
This time, the palace family and his wife went to ask for marriage on behalf of their son, and the son did not sell his parents' faces, but he would not be filial.
Gong Xiangru held his forehead with his fingers, almost an expression that he was about to faint directly.
I don't know if his parents know it, as soon as this matter gets out, it means that he won't be able to marry the daughter of the Qi family. No, his mother, Mrs. Gong, may not know, this matter must have been planned by his father, Master Gong, and the abacus was at the top. As soon as his parents went like this, he, a dutiful son, could only surrender. Moreover, since his parents have gone, how can he, a filial son, turn a blind eye, he should hurry up and rush to Qi Town to meet his parents.
The sixth uncle walked out silently and borrowed the horse that was supposed to be returned to the Yun clan for his young master. With this horse, the young master should be able to reach Qi Town within a day.
To this day, Gong Xiangru himself still has to worry about his sister and his sister's children first. He came back early, but it was all for the safety of his sister and two children.
Of course, the emperor and the empress can't tell the people in the palace about the accident, for fear that if the words go out, it will cause turmoil in the court, and then the country will be troubled if there is internal strife.
Coincidentally, he just found the perfect excuse for him to come back early. In this regard, Gong Xiangru did not clarify the truth with Zhang Mingxian and others. Not long after, the relevant palace family was bound to marry the daughter of the Qi family, and they all chased to Qi Town, spread all over the capital, and spread all over the north and south of the river.
Gong Xiangru and Yifeng were on standby in the palace, and according to the latest news from the Yun people, the emperor and empress should be back with the two little princes soon.
"I hope the Holy Lord and the crown prince will be safe and sound." Yifeng, who has served his masters for a long time, prayed silently in his heart.
The palace is like looking at the sky, the sky is as blue as washing, although it is snowing, but when it snows, the weather is not very cold. What he experienced on this trip to Qifeng Pool touched him a lot.
Fate is so strange, in the dark, it seems that something has been pulling and guiding. Stubborn people, who intend to resist, are actually just rebelling against their own nature. Thinking of this, did he treat him and her too harshly?
Stretch out your palm, catch the snow particles flying down from the eaves, and let them melt in your palm, as if something stubborn in your heart is also melting.
It's not difficult to follow your true heart.
Yifeng stood beside him, looking at the snow with him, and suddenly, blinking, exclaimed, "What's that?!" β
A large snowball like dough fell from the sky, and when it fell to the ground, it was accompanied by a little egret that almost made people dazzled with the color of the snow. The little egret flapped its wings, flew to the snow ball, carved the snow ball with its pointed beak, and the chirping bird seemed to be angry and anxious. As long as you can understand the language of birds, you know that the little egret is scolding: Have you two fought enough?! From the beginning to the end, not ashamed!
Strike! The first to roll out of the snow group was the black poodle, shaking the white snow on the hair on his body, and the old face said angrily: How old is the old man, do you need to be ashamed?!
Nini the little pig followed out of the snow ball, shook the pig's head that was a little dizzy when it fell from the sky just now, and when she heard the words of the black unicorn, the little pig's nose immediately snorted: Relying on the old and selling the old is to be ashamed!
I don't know when, the white unicorn who heard the movement flew out of the dungeon, and when he saw the black unicorn, his eyes flashed: It turns out that you are not dead yet!
The black unicorn dog's face suddenly darkened: Is there a younger brother who talks to the eldest brother like this?
Bai Qilin smiled and said: We are all brothers, don't worry about it.
The black unicorn shrugged his two eyebrows to the old high: Why don't you care? The young and the old should be clearly distinguished.
Bai Qilin leisurely raised the dog's leg in front of him and touched the dog's beard, and said: In this way, my master is your master's son, and in the future, even if I change my master, my master will also be your master's brother.
The black unicorn angrily carved out a deep pit on the snow with its two front legs, which was so deep that he could bury himself in it, and barked at the white unicorn: You are embarrassed to say who your master is, why didn't I see you rushing to protect the master when your master had an accident?
In the face of such humiliating torture of the spirit pet, Bai Qilin still leisurely changed his dog's legs and touched his beard: With the eldest brother here, how can there be anything that can't be done, I won't go.
This sentence completely provoked the black unicorn, kicked his four legs, and pounced on the white unicorn with all his might: Is my big brother useful to call? !
The little egret and Nini the pig watched as the two brothers fought together and looked at each other.
Yifeng thought of the noble identity of the white unicorn, and rushed up with the intention of separating the two poodles, and soon, he was scratched by the dog's paws on his face, and was kicked away by the legs of the two brothers: Brother Lao Tzu fights, it's your business!
Seeing this, no one dared to come forward to persuade him.
What's even more strange is that the two dogs that the old man of the palace family gave to the two little grandsons came over with their tails wagging when they heard the excitement, standing next to them, while raising their front legs and clapping and shouting: Fight, fight!
It's messed up, it's all messed up!
Yifeng looked around, and saw that there were more and more animals who came to watch the group listening to the movement, and the palace was about to become a zoo.
Miya-sangru smiled and patted his knees to stand up. Let him, a doctor, come and see, and be able to fight, which means that he is in good health, which is a good thing. And it was his two little nephews and the emperor's spiritual pet who were fighting, and the spiritual pet was healthy, which means that the saint and the child are fine. Isn't that the best outcome for everyone to be safe?
The black unicorn and the white unicorn were fighting at the same time, and in the sky, suddenly, there was movement again.
The sound of birdsong, bursts of songs, poured into the mountains and seas, as if surging from a distant place. This is to remind all things in heaven and earth of the wonder of a hundred birds and a phoenix that day. And this spectacle in front of me is definitely more spectacular than that day.
I saw that the sky in the capital of Tanglin was covered by a dense flock of birds. The white snow blends with all kinds of white feathers, making it impossible to tell whether it is the spirit of the snow or the soul of the bird.
A distant voice poured into Gong Xiangru's mind in secret words: "Brother, you go first, go to Daddy's place, we still need some time on the way back." β
It was my sister's voice, and it sounded safe and sound. Moreover, listening to his sister's meaning, it seems that the situation on his father's side is not very good.
Gong Xiangru frowned, and after explaining a few words to Yifeng, he hurriedly walked outside the palace with his robe.
Outside, the sixth uncle was already ready to wait for him again, and after leading the horse out, Gong Xiangru turned over on the horse, turned the horse's head, and went straight to Beijing. The sixth uncle mounted another horse and followed closely behind him.
The snow is falling in Qi Town, and there is no intention of stopping.
When Gong Hongwen walked back to the inn, it was already a little dark. When I returned to the guest room, I didn't enter the door, but at the door, I only heard the maid Linglong at home say to Mrs. Gong: It seems that I have seen the sister-in-law of Master Qi's family at the door.
When Mrs. Gong heard the news, she was slightly taken aback: Could it be that the Qi family discovered their traces?
That's right. Linglong then talked about another strange thing: when the slave maid went downstairs just now, she was talking to the little maid in the inn, and the little maid asked the slave maid, did we know Yang Liujie, the proprietress of the health hall in the town? The slave maid thought, who is this Sixth Sister Yang, she has never heard of it. So I had an extra heart and eyes, and I put the words of that little guy. The meaning of the little maid seems to be that this Sixth Sister Yang is a very rich person in this town, and she is asking what the lady and the master are doing in Qi Town, so I guess if we are going to do business with Sixth Sister Yang.
Gong Hongwen was quite surprised after hearing the news. I think he just went to Chen Youjun's Qisheng Hall to know about Yang Liujie and the health hall, why, how did this Yang Liujie know his origin so quickly and find him here?
This reminds me of the mysterious woman in the sedan chair. Sixth Sister Yang, she should have listened to the command of that mysterious woman. In this way, isn't it that Sixth Sister Yang was instructed by the woman to inquire about them?
Where did the woman come from, and did you know who he was?
"Sir." Linglong was startled and found him standing at the door of the guest room, and quickly turned around and saluted.
"Have you eaten? If you don't have one, let's go to dinner, I'll sit with my wife for a while, and you can bring dinner over. Gong Hongwen crossed his hands, walked into the room, and commanded.
Linglong walked out and helped them close the door.
Mrs. Gong watched him come over, gave up a chair, poured him some hot tea, it was cold outside, and she didn't know how he could walk outside for so long and stroll until dark before coming back, so she had a lot of complaints, saying to him: "You are going to freeze and get sick, how can I send you back to the capital alone, here is so far from the capital." β
Gong Hongwen patted his two sleeves and said with a smile: "I have been ordered by the Holy Lord to go up the mountain to chop wood for a few years, and my body has grown stronger and stronger, stronger than your son." Besides, it's not like there are no good doctors in this town. I think that the doctor of the health hall who listened to Master Qi's classmates today seems to have acceptable medical ethics and medical skills, and there is no problem in treating minor diseases such as external wind and cold. β
Madame Gong knew that he had gone to inquire about the news, so she sat down, waited for him to speak, and asked, "What do you say?" β
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Gong Hongwen's lips: "Don't say it, the son-in-law that Master Qi fancies, I don't think it's worse than our son." β
Mrs. Gong didn't defend her son when she said this, and pouted: "Do you still need to say it?" β
In her opinion, either one is better than her son. Just look at her son's love or not, which woman can stand it. Miss Qi is not bad-looking, well-read, a little talented, the so-called fair lady and gentleman. If Qi Yunyan were her, she would not choose her son. Of course, because this is her son, she can only hope that her son can be invincible all the way when he faces a powerful rival in love.
When Gong Hongwen heard his wife's words, he was a little funny, but he suddenly became more concerned about the news that Linglong had revealed just now.
Similarly, Mrs. Gong was afraid that the two of them would be self-defeating when they came on this trip. If it is discovered by Master Qi, I don't know if he will be angry. So, she looked at her husband cautiously: "Otherwise, I don't think I can hide this matter for long." Let's find a matchmaker in the town, and tomorrow, let the matchmaker go to Qi's house to try. β
Gong Hongwen shook his hand: "Don't worry. β
"It's all here, what are you waiting for?" Mrs. Gong asked, knowing that she must have been calculated in her husband's abacus, and she must ask to understand it at this point.
"Think about it, as long as we open our voices, can the Qi family refuse?" Miyahiro said.
Mrs. Gong raised her eyebrows slightly: "Of course not." β
"That's right." Gong Hongwen patted his knees, "If we go to propose marriage, the Qi family can't refuse, then, it doesn't matter if it's early or late." Why don't you wait for Xiangru to come, let him go to the door and talk to Master Qi by himself. β
Only then did Mrs. Gong understand that the couple had used themselves as bait to lure Gong Xiangru to Qi Town. Mrs. Gong said: "But this is not in accordance with the rules. How could he come to the door to propose marriage by himself. β
"The sons-in-law that people fancy are all going to express their hearts to Master Qi by themselves." Gong Hongwen inquired clearly, Chen Youjun was positive, compared to his own son. Therefore, Gong Xiangru always had to express in front of the matchmaker in front of the Qi family's official door, in front of Master Qi, lest Master Qi really think that their palace family was forced to marry, and when the time came, he would really be angry and refused to marry his daughter to their palace family.
When Mrs. Gong heard this, she was speechless, but worried: "It's like accompanying the saint here, and I don't know when I will come back." How long will it take to get to us, and will we have to wait here for a long time? β
"Think about it, I can have a grandson to hold in the future, and I only wait here for half a month and a month, is it long?" Gong Hongwen didn't mind how long he stayed in Qi Town. It should be said that after walking around Qi Town today, this place is simply too temperamental to him. Everywhere are literati who like piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, who do not talk about state affairs, but only talk about elegant art, raising birds, eating delicious food, without competition and assassination, and there is no need to be depressed, just like heaven on earth.
Gong Hongwen thought in his heart that he and Master Qi should have a good temper, and it is no problem to be in-laws. Based on this alone, his filial sons should work harder.
When Linglong brought the rice in, Gong Hongwen asked people to inquire about the secrets of the new female boss of the health hall. As a result, I heard about Chen Youjun from Qishengtang and went to the health hall.
"Sir?" Mrs. Gong frowned when she saw that Gong Hongwen suddenly stopped her chopsticks. Could it be that there is really some secret in this Qisheng Hall?
Gong Hongwen crossed his hands behind his back, and after wandering in the room for two steps, he immediately made a decision, picked up a brush, wrote a letter, and asked people to send the letter to the county government immediately.
The county government to which Qi Town belongs is not in Qi Town, but in another town called Yushi Town. Gong Xiangru rode a thousand miles of horse, it was a thousand miles of riding, and the sixth uncle arrived at the post station in Yushi Town in less than half a day. Seeing that he was about to arrive in Qi Town, he didn't know what would happen there, maybe he would kneel in front of his parents and apologize all night when he got there. Based on various considerations, before hearing about what happened in Qi Town, Gong Xiangru decided to finish eating at the post station and let the sixth uncle go to explore the movement first, and then go to Qi Town.
It just so happened that when he was eating, the sixth uncle didn't go out of Yushi Town, and on the street, he saw people in his own house, so he stepped forward to ask if it was Gong Hongwen who came to the county government to deliver the letter, and hurriedly ran back to the post station and told the news to Gong Xiangru.
Looks like something is going to happen.
Gong Xiangru didn't dare to slack off, halfway through eating, stopped chopsticks, and rushed to the county office.
The county magistrate of the county ya, when he heard that the famous uncle suddenly came down to his small yamen, he was so panicked that he didn't even wear his official hat and ran out to pick up the guests.
Gong Xiangru let the other party be exempt, anxious to see what kind of letter his father had sent to the county government. The county magistrate had just received the letter, and he didn't have time to open it, so he opened it in front of the palace to see it.
It turned out that after Gong Hongwen heard that Chen Youjun went to the health hall, he suddenly had some bad premonitions in his heart. Thinking back carefully to the scenery scene when Yang Liujie walked into Qishengtang at that time, I remembered the pair of bracelets that Yang Liujie wore on her wrists, which was definitely not an ordinary bracelet. Since his son works in the Criminal Department, usually, Gong Hongwen is always paying special attention to which special wanted criminals in the imperial court have escaped, and have not yet been caught.
In the past year, when it comes to the young, wealthy, and even fugitives who can get royal tribute, in the wanted, according to his memory, it seems that there is only one person, and that is Sun Ruyu, the young lady of the Sun family, who has been tracking down for a long time.
Sun Ruyu fled to Qi Town, no wonder, the people from their criminal department searched for so long and didn't find it. Just because Qizhen is a remote place, not to mention, the people here are lazy and used to it, they don't have a sense of crisis, usually, they don't like to find trouble in the neighborhood, they like to turn a blind eye to everything, and turn big things into small things. Even if he really noticed something, according to the character of the people of Qi Town, if he didn't cause trouble, he wouldn't think about reporting to the official to get a bounty. Anyway, the people of Qi Town, who have no ambition, are also interested in money and lack of money.
I'm afraid that this Sun Ruyu stayed in this place for a while, and noticed that the people here were so confused, and finally decided to live here, so that he took out all the treasures he brought with him and sold them, so that he would no longer have to suffer and enjoy the blessings.
This time, the last drop of blood of the Sun family really hit the muzzle of the gun.
However, Gong Xiangru looked back, and soon thought that his father suddenly wrote such a letter in a hurry, it must not only be because he found clues and hurriedly reported to the imperial court.
Sure enough, soon, someone hurriedly ran into the county government to report the news, out of breath, pointing to the sky, and saying: Qi Zhen has gone to water!
Gong Xiangru and the sixth uncle's faces changed suddenly, for fear that the fire would burn to the place where the lord and wife of the palace family lived. I took a group of people out of the house to look, and saw that it was in the direction of Qi Town, and the raging flames lit up the sky. The exuberant fire stunned the eyes of the spectators.
Immediately afterwards, the people and soldiers around Qi Town were all gathered, carried the burden of water, and rushed to Qi Town to fight the fire.
Gong Xiangru took the sixth uncle, and he had already ridden his horse and rushed into Qi Town quickly.
The place where the fire started was to the east of Qi Town, and it seemed that it was far away from the west inn where the palace lord and the palace lady lived. I just entered the streets of the town and saw that the people on the streets were in a state of chaos.
The people of Qi Town are used to being comfortable, and this kind of thing only happens once in hundreds of years. Many people have never seen walking water since birth, which is not frightened one by one, some people hit the package and plan to escape, as a result, seeing so many books and cultural games at home can not be taken away, they hesitate whether to burn to death in the fire with these spiritual babies.
The sixth uncle jumped off his horse, grabbed one of the people, and gestured to ask what the fire was.
The other party finally seemed to think of the answer under the questioning, and said: It seems to be a health hall.
When the sixth uncle turned around, he saw his young master whipping the horse, and he was about to rush to the place where the fire started. Gong Xiang thought like this, whether it was a relative or not, it was better not to be a relative, in order to make sure that his relatives were not in the fire, he must rush to the fire scene as soon as possible to see what was going on.
Among the large number of people who fled in front, only two horses rose to the challenge.
Earlier, it can't be said that no one is fighting the fire, the local governor has already brought some people to fight the fire with pots and pokes of water. However, the fire suddenly swore fiercely and unexpectedly. Presumably someone deliberately set the fire.
When Gong Xiangru and Sixth Uncle rushed to the closest place to the fire, they saw that it should be a mansion garden covering an area of several acres, all shrouded in fire. Such a magnificent complex must have been the estate of a wealthy manor.
After asking again, I learned that this health hall burning in the fire was a so-called high-class brothel.
Flying off the horse, Gong Xiangru found the nearest soldier who was pouring water on the fire with a basin, and asked, "Who have been rescued?" β
"The girls in the health hall are all smart people, and they said that they smelled smoke, and they all ran out one by one. It doesn't seem like anyone was burned to death. I just heard that the female boss and Yang Liujie didn't come out. β
As soon as this person finished answering, another person picked up and said: "Sixth Sister Yang was rescued, saying that she smoked too much cigarettes, and she didn't know whether she was dead or alive, and she was lying in Qishengtang." β
Gong Xiangru turned around and saw that the parents here had brought a large number of people to support. On weekdays, this health hall may be too arrogant, some distance from the surrounding houses, and because of the snow, the fire did not spread to the surrounding area, which is a great luck in misfortune. With such a fire, it is impossible for people to break into the fire and search for whether there are any living people. can only wait for the fire to be extinguished first, and then investigate the truth at the scene.
Therefore, after handing over the fire to the young county magistrate. Gong Xiangru took the sixth uncle, but he was not very steady, so he went to Qishengtang to see the injured. It is reported that all the wounded who escaped from the fire were sent to the most famous pharmacy in the town.
didn't go to Qishengtang, at the door of Qishengtang, two people walked in front of him. The sixth uncle opened his mouth: Master, madam?
"Like!" Mrs. Gong suddenly met her son here, as if she had mixed feelings.
Gong Hongwen beckoned to his son, took a breath and said, "Quick, say that Miss Qi was rescued from the fire just now." β
Gong Xiangru's heart of seeing that his parents were safe and sound was hung high.
She's in the fire? How so?
Did you know that Sun Ruyu was running there to arrest someone?
Gong Hongwen said to him sadly: "I guess, she not only knows that Sun Ruyu is there, but also knows that Sun Ruyu is bad to us. β
"Daddy?" Gong Xiangru's two eyes hit Gong Hongwen's face directly, a little solemn.
"The arsonists all ran to the inn where I stayed with your mother, but they were caught by the Qi family who was guarding there. She may be afraid that Sun Ruyu will flee after the East Window incident, so she has already calculated before and will go to the health hall to arrest people in person. Gong Hongwen carefully explained the ins and outs of the matter.
After hearing this, Gong Xiangru felt a surge of emotions in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find her at this time and pick her up and spank her a few times like a child.
Knowing that the murderer is there, don't you know how to report to the police like his father? Why is a woman a hero, who actually went to arrest the most wanted criminal in the imperial court, don't you know that the dog will jump off the wall if she is forced to be in a hurry?
"Similar-" Mrs. Gong felt that she had never seen this face in front of her son, and she was suddenly scared that Qi Yunyan was not dead, and she was afraid that she would be scolded by her son. Her son scolded people, it was still very scary, and even his sister who was the queen was afraid.
Stretching out his hand to push away the crowded crowd in the lobby, Gong Xiangru walked all the way to the innermost. A door opened, and Chen Youjun's voice sounded like a sob, shouting: "Miss Qi, wake up quickly, I was wrong, I was wrong." β
Hearing this, Gong Xiangru's head suddenly turned blank, and the stride meteor reached out and lifted the curtain of the door and rushed in, looking at a wooden bed in front of her, she was lying on it, her little face stained with some black smoke, her eyes closed. So his feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, and he could not move.
Master Qi, who rushed to hear the news, broke away from him and rushed into the door, rushed to the person lying on the bed, and pounced, shouting: "Yunyan, Dad promised you everything, you can't leave Dad alone, Yunyan, if you want to marry the palace family, marry the palace family, Dad will promise you everything!" β
At that moment, the Gong family couple standing in front of the door of the house automatically and consciously stood on their feet. At the same moment, Gong Xiangru's gaze fell on her eyelids that didn't seem to move, and she felt that her heart was about to stop.
Master Qi seemed to be crazy, looking around, and suddenly saw him, rushed over and grabbed his hand: "Marry her!" Hurry up and say marry her. Do you have a conscience, don't you know who she became like this for? β
Outside the house, Mrs. Gong, who was standing, couldn't calm down when she heard Master Qi's words, her hands and feet were weak with fear, and she said to her husband: "Master, let's hurry up and slip away." If the people inside knew, we had deceived themβ"
"Shh Gong Hongwen hurriedly covered Mrs. Gong's mouth first.
In other words, Qi Yunyan is fine at all, this is a scene they co-starred with Chen Youjun when they learned that their son had rushed to Yushi Town.
Thinking about that time, Qi Yunyan asked Chen Youjun to help, disguised as Chen Youjun's medicine boy and personally entered the health hall to find out what was going on, to find out if it was really Sun Ruyu hiding here, and then went to report to the official. Originally, everything went well, I saw Sun Ruyu, and it was confirmed that it was Sun Ruyu himself, but when I was about to withdraw, I was inadvertently pierced by Sun Ruyu. Sun Ruyu was annoyed and angry, and pounced on her to die with her, knocking over the oil lamp in the house. The fire started burning from Sun Ruyu's room. Because they are all flammable materials, the fire burns quickly, and the people in the health hall only care about their own lives, and the fire spreads to the entire health hall.
Sun Ruyu fell down from a pillar and was stoned to death.
Chen Youjun couldn't avoid it, but fortunately, he was pushed by Qi Yunyan to escape the catastrophe, and Qi Yunyan was hit on the head by the falling roof tiles, so that he fell unconscious for a while. At the moment when he was saved by her, Chen Youjun suddenly figured it out in his heart: what he wanted was her happiness, not dominating her.
Therefore, after escaping, I met the palace couple and conspired to make such a scene to force Master Qi and Gong Xiangru to admit their accounts.
Perhaps, Master Qi will be very angry in the future, but as long as he thinks that his daughter will not die, he should feel lucky, and it is time to let go.
Mrs. Gong was still afraid, and when she dragged her husband's hand and walked out, Gong Hongwen suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Listen! β
From inside the house, their son's slightly hoarse voice came out: Yunyan, I promise you that I will marry you.
