Chapter 352: Killed and burned

The two corners of the jade lock piece have now been ground to a little rounded, he had little experience back then, and the two corners of the jade lock were still sharp, so he took it to the newly born little plain note.

My aunt was afraid that the sharp corners would hurt Su Jian, so she put away the jade lock piece and never wore it on Su Jian.

He was depressed about this, and his father specially ordered someone to carve two identical jade buckles, and he and the Su Jian brothers and sisters hung one on their bodies, which made him happy.

Thinking of those old things, Liu Ziqi couldn't help but feel melancholy, he exhaled lightly and looked at the old man, "This jade lock piece should be in the inner room of the back house, how can you steal the things in the inner room of a shabu stable?" ”

When the old man heard this, he was taken aback, "How can Childe be so clear?" Could it be that you are also an old person in the princess's mansion? ”

He thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "No, Princess Huaiyang's Mansion doesn't have a child of Gongzi's age......"

"You don't need to know who I am, I ask you, just answer honestly." Liu Ziqi looked at the old man deeply.

The old man's heart was tumbling, the people in the princess's mansion were clearly dead, but this prince knew very well about the princess's mansion in Huaiyang, and he must have been a person who used to come and go to the princess's mansion in the past.

"When the house was raided, the princess's mansion was very chaotic, and the eldest princess and the concubine were ...... All suffered an accident, the people in the house fled and scattered, I took advantage of the chaos to touch the inner room of the back house, and wanted to touch one or two valuable things. The old man knelt on the ground and said honestly.

Liu Ziqi locked his eyebrows, and said with a cold face, "If I remember correctly, when the Jinyi Wei and Dongchang who raided the family received the secret decree, slaughtered the entire princess's mansion, and then burned the princess's mansion to ashes, how did you survive and escape from the princess's mansion?" ”

Seeing that he knew so much, the old man didn't dare to say perfunctorily, and said, "What Gongzi said is that most of the servants who worked in the princess's mansion were killed by those people, and those who were not killed were also burned by the fire. ”

As he spoke, it was as if he had gone back to the old days.

A scene flashed in his mind, the Jinyi guard who killed people when he saw them, there was blood everywhere, and the yard was full of crying, he took the object from the back house, and almost bumped into the Jinyi guard who rushed in, and escaped by hiding in the forage for feeding the horses.

They killed people when they saw them, and all of them were bloodthirsty Yamas, and their clothes were stained red with blood.

After so many years, Rao still often dreams about the situation back then, dreams that he failed to escape from the princess's mansion, and dreams that the long sword stained with countless people's blood pierced his neck.

"I hid in the hay of the stables to avoid the search of the men." The old man said now, his voice was still a little shocked, "Later, they set the fire, and when they saw that the entire princess's mansion was about to burn down, those people left, and the little old man got out of the dog hole next to the stable, and he was lucky enough to pick up a life." ”

"At that time, the capital was already in chaos, and there was a lot of arrest and ...... with Princess Huaiyang everywhere People who are related to the prince's mansion, I didn't dare to stay in the capital, so I returned to the countryside of Danzhou. When the old man said this, he subconsciously lowered his voice.

It's as if you just mention that, you're going to die.

When Liu Ziqi heard these words, an invisible coldness flashed in his eyes, he squeezed the jade lock plate in his hand, and said in a dry voice, "You...... Have you ever seen the little princess that night? ”

The old man's eyes widened, he took a breath, and quickly denied, "No, I haven't seen the little county lord." ”

Gu Yun stared at the old man sharply, seeing that he looked nervous, he pursed his lips unconsciously, blinked, his pupils turned to the upper right, and said firmly, "You are lying!" ”

The old man was so frightened that he lay on the ground, didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at the two of them, and said with a panicked expression, "When the little old man went into the inner room of the back house to steal something, the little county lord was not in the inner room, I don't know if he hid it, and then the little old man hid in the stable forage, and I heard those people shouting that I found the little county lord, I ...... I heard the cry of the child, I don't know if it was the voice of the little lord, and then suddenly it was silent, and those people seemed to be ...... It seems that the little county lord was thrown to death......"

Hearing this, Liu Ziqi's expression was in a trance, and the hand holding the jade lock piece was unconsciously clenched into a fist, the green tendons on the back of his hand were bulging, and his eyes were full of pain.

The old man quietly raised his head, glanced at his expression, and quickly lowered his head, guessing Liu Ziqi's identity in his heart, more than ten years ago, this son should have been only seven or eight years old, and the little son who often came and went to the princess's mansion was only two or three people.

One of them is gone, so ...... It can only be the little marquis of the Marquis of Annan.

"You...... Is it Gu Xiaohou? The old man nervously asked Liu Ziqi.

Liu Ziqi came back to his senses, he and Gu Yun glanced at each other, as if acquiescing to the old man's guess, did not deny it, and asked rhetorically, "Since you are doing the work of shabu stables in the princess's mansion, do you recognize Meng Qingyun?" His name can also be called Meng Fu. ”

When the old man heard the name Meng Fu, his hairs immediately stood on end, his pupils shrank, he swallowed the saliva secreted by nervousness and fear, and considered how to answer.

"Don't say it yet!" Gu Yun snorted coldly.

The old man trembled, lowered his eyes and looked at the square inch in front of him, "Recognize it...... Recognize...... He is the chauffeur of the princess's mansion. ”
