Chapter 61: Farce
When Mama Xu was bored in the house, she suddenly heard a rustling sound in the house, which rang and fell, and she turned around and didn't find the sound, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
Just as she leaned under the table, her head was suddenly covered with a veil, and then she lost consciousness with a pain in her neck.
Seeing the figure lying motionless at the table, Meng Zhou put down the wooden weapon in his hand, and after walking a few steps in the room at a loss, he saw himself in red in the mirror, and his consciousness suddenly returned. She tore off her wedding dress in a bit of a panic, took off her robe from the grandmother and hurriedly tied it, and picked up a handkerchief and covered her face.
There was movement outside, and Meng Zhou couldn't care so much, she pushed open the door and ran into the path she had passed before.
In the vestibule, everyone was still immersed in the excitement of the feast, and they didn't know what was happening in the backyard.
Zong Zhixian looked at the coaxing friends at the table, pressed the corner of his forehead with a headache, blocked the wine glass and smiled: "You really don't plan to let me go today." ”
"Well, don't play the bitter card."
"That is, don't forget that when Brother Zhou got married, you were the most noisy, and today, we have to make up for Brother Zhou."
Zong Zhixian said helplessly: "At the beginning, which of you didn't pour less than me, and now you want to pack it on me in a package, it's not kind." Brother Jiang, you want good praise and criticism. ”
"Cough, don't talk nonsense, there can be a few days in life, and you don't have a good time." The man poured a full wine glass as he spoke, stuffed it into Zongzhixian's hand, and urged: "Don't talk nonsense, it's dry." ”
"That's it, it's done."
Zong Zhixian shook his head helplessly in the midst of everyone's coaxing, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp. As soon as he put down the cup, he bumped into a hurried little maid beside him.
The boy who had just persuaded the wine frowned, and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "What are you flustered about." ”
The little maid stood firm, with tears in her eyes, and knelt beside Zong Zhixian, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master, Miss Gao is gone." ”
Zong Zhixian jumped between his eyebrows, hid his emotions, and smiled at the people around him: "I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with later, you drink first, and I'll be back soon." ”
The son who persuaded the wine wanted to say something, but was pulled by Jiang Tingyuan.
Jiang Tingyuan stood up and said, "Since Brother Zong has something, let's deal with it first, and we'll wait for you." ”
"Thank you." Zong Zhixian nodded towards Jiang Tingyuan, waved at a tall guard on the left, and turned around and walked to the backyard.
Away from the vestibule, Zong Zhixian's voice became urgent: "Tell me clearly, what's going on." ”
"The slaves and maids just went to the house to serve the girl, and when they pushed the door, they found that the girl was gone, leaving only Mama Xu who had fainted on the ground."
Zong Zhixian walked striding and asked, "What about Ming'er?" ”
"Miss Ming'er was called away by Madame."
Zong Zhixian clenched his hands, his eyebrows seemed to be pressed with a layer of cumulus clouds, and he said in a low voice: "You go to the lady's courtyard and call Ming'er back." ”
"Yes"
When the little maid walked away quickly, Zong Zhixian turned his head and ordered the guards beside him: "Zhao Qi, tell me to go down, without alarming the guests, expand the search area, and draw a team of people to search along the front and back of the Mingxiang Courtyard." ”
"Yes."
When Zong Zhixian strode into the Mingxiang Courtyard, the grandmothers and girls in the courtyard were hugging each other in a mess. He looked at it, and his heart was even more irritable and angry.
Mama Xu, who was leaning on the pillar, woke up slowly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Zong Zhixian with a gloomy face at the gate of the courtyard, and her heart trembled, and she quickly got up and cried with a sad face, and said in a voice: "Childe." ”
When the slaves and maids in the courtyard heard this, they immediately fell silent and stood on both sides.
Zong Zhixian glanced at Mama Xu and said in a deep voice, "Come in with me." ”
The door closed, Zong Zhi asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"The old slave, the old slave has been guarding the girl in the house, and then the slave heard a sound of rustling in the house from time to time, afraid of what flying insects scared the girl, the old slave paid attention to the sound, who knew that suddenly someone was blindfolded, the old slave, the old slave didn't have time to react, a pain in the neck, and he didn't know anything. When the old slave woke up, he realized that the girl was gone. Mama Xu knelt on the ground with a bang as she spoke, and burst into tears: "Son, it's the old slave's fault, and the old slave is willing to be punished." ”
"You said that you have been all the time, that means that you know all the people coming in and out of this house, don't you?"
"Yes, yes."
"Okay" Zong Zhixian stood up, looked down at Mama Xu, and said, "Since this is the case, then tell me why you were the only one in the house when the accident happened." ”
Mama Xu swallowed her saliva, and the cold soaked on her back, "Old slave, old slave." ”
"I'm not telling the truth yet."
Hearing that loud sound, Mama Xu immediately trembled and lay on the ground, her voice was like a knot, "Old slave, the old slave went out on the way, but the old slave told the maids in the house to take good care of the girl, but when the old slave came back, the maids in the house had already disappeared, so Mama Wang left the old slave in the house, saying that she was going to call a few girls." But, but, at that time, the girl was still sitting in the house, and there was nothing wrong with it. Childe, what the old slave said is the truth. ”
Zong Zhixian looked coldly at the low figure on the ground, and he already had a rough idea in his heart. Without further questioning, he turned and walked to the bedside, looking around. Suddenly, Zong Zhixian's gaze stayed on the little white exposed under the bed.
A soft call came from outside the door: "Childe"
Zong Zhixian stretched out his hand and pulled the handkerchief, stuffed it in his arms, and said, "Come in."
The door opened, and a thin woman dressed in a light green thin dress walked in. As if she hadn't seen Mama Xu trembling on her knees, she walked to Zong Zhixian's side without squinting, and said in a low voice: "Childe, something happened in the vestibule." ”
When Meng Zhou turned out of the path, he heard a heaving scream in front of him. The closer you get to the vestibule, the louder the shouting becomes. Meng Zhou wondered in her heart, she had escaped from Mingxiang Courtyard for a long time, and she hadn't seen any big movement in the backyard, why the vestibule seemed to explode.
Meng Zhou was thinking about it, when a few mad dogs rushed out behind her, staggering into the wall in fright, for fear of getting into trouble. But as if they had been controlled, the mad dogs skipped over Mengzhou, which was pasted on the wall, and went straight to the vestibule.
The barking of the dog faded away, and Meng Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, leaning his legs weakly against the wall, wiping the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead.
Now she finally knew why the vestibule was turned upside down. It is really not easy for the son of this sect to get married, and the speed and momentum of the accident are simply greater than the limelight of the wedding banquet.
As soon as Meng Zhou took a few steps forward, he saw a dazzling red ribbon lying in the grass on the side of the road, and he was slightly stunned.
When she saw the mad dogs just now, she was too nervous and scared to pay much attention to what was beside her, but now that she calmed down, she realized that she had ignored something.
Meng Zhou patted his head, his eyes showed helplessness, in order to find her, Heshan was really afraid that the world would not be chaotic.
Zong Zhixian walked all the way to the vestibule, and when he saw the scattered and chaotic scenes in the courtyard, his already stuffy chest felt more and more throbbing.
At this point in the wedding banquet, the guests were already a little drunk, and they were unsuspected, and they were rushed around by those mad dogs. Fortunately, although Zong Ying was drunk, he still reacted in time, ordered a few juniors to escort the adults into the back room, and when Zong Zhixian arrived, he saw that the ground was in shambles, tables and chairs were turned over, and a few mad dogs were circling around the courtyard with their tongues, and from time to time they barked a few times at the soldiers on the west side.
Zong Zhixian glanced at the soldiers who were only hesitant to move around, and his heart was even more angry. He drew a sword and stepped forward.
"Young master, these are just newly raised dogs in the Hengzhi Courtyard, you can't kill them."
Zong Zhixian stopped his steps, his heart was clear, no wonder no one dared to touch these livestock until now, it turned out to be the emperor's dog in the Hengzhi Courtyard, he turned his head to look at Ming'er and said: "The Hengzhi Courtyard is not guarded by a special person, what about the person?" ”
"Master Zong has sent someone to look for it, but he hasn't found it yet."
Ming'er was talking as she kept an eye on the movement on the side, and saw a few figures appear in the side door, and she gestured at those people a few times.
Zong Zhixian followed Ming'er's gesture before noticing the movement behind him. He looked at the big iron cage carried by those people, and frowned at Ming'er and said, "The dogs in the Hengzhi Courtyard are usually very well-behaved, but today they are so manic, is there a reason?" ”
"The slave and maid have looked for someone to see it, and the meat in the trough has been tampered with, and it is mixed with medicine."
Ming'er glanced at the iron cage that was lightly lowered on the left side, lowered her head and said, "Childe, you avoid it first, so as not to hurt you." After she finished speaking, she walked to the back of the iron cage, took the iron rod in the hand of the person, and knocked it from slow to fast one by one, and the dogs in the courtyard really became frantic with the more and more intense knocking sound, and began to spin incessantly, barking in the direction of Ming'er, but after a while, the dogs just moved a few steps forward, and never moved again near the west of the cage.
Ming'er put down the iron rod in his hand, whispered a few words to the two people on the side of the iron cage, walked to the west, pulled one of the young soldiers and said, "You go and introduce the dog into the cage." ”
When the young soldier heard this, he said intermittently: "Ming, Miss Ming'er, you can't get out of this iron cage." Me, me. ”
Ming'er's face didn't move at all, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you out, there's a door where I just stood, run faster." She said the last three words very softly, as if she were silent.
As soon as the words fell, Ming'er stretched out his hand and pushed the young soldier hard. The soldiers of Nafu fell unexpectedly towards the group of mad dogs.
The clatter of iron rods and iron cages sounded again, and the dogs shook as if they were stimulated by something, and rushed towards the young soldier. He was stunned for a moment, pulled his legs and rushed to the iron cage, and the moment he stepped into the iron cage, the back door opened, and he flew out of the cage in one step. His leg was weak and he almost fell to the ground.
The dogs behind him rattled into the iron cage, and he quickly turned to look, and saw that the two people who were standing next to the iron cage had locked it, and he was relieved.
After everything was taken care of, Ming'er walked to the young soldier in a few steps, glanced at the place where she had just been pushed through the blood, and pointed: "Go and receive the reward." ”
"Yes, yes." The soldiers nodded in response and walked towards Zongzhixian.
Zong Zhixian glanced at Ming'er, who came later, patted the shoulder of the Nafu soldier and said, "Well done, what's your name." ”
"Villain Zhong Yue."
"Just stay with me in the future, and Zhao Qi will tell you the details one by one."
"Yes, yes, Zhong Yue thanked Gongzi."
"Get up, pack this up, and come to my yard." After Zong Zhixian finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the back wing.
Zhong Yue whispered to Ming'er, who was also about to leave, and said gratefully: "Thank you girl for your help today." ”
Ming'er glanced back at Zhong Yue, who was bowing his head in front of him, as if nothing had happened just now, and said unexpectedly: "Go to the pharmacy and get the medicine." She lifted her steps and walked to the backyard without pausing.
