Chapter 50: Zhu Fu's Heavenly Punishment
Qingzhu followed behind Gu Tianxing and slowly walked towards Jiang's mansion, the clothes on his body also turned lilac, obviously not completely deflated.
He really couldn't understand why the young lady still wanted to spare the life of the heinous father and son.
"Qingzhu, I'm not angry anymore, why haven't you changed back to Tsing Yi, so stingy?" Gu Tianxing blinked, joking with Qingzhu.
"All I know is that all the creatures in the world who offend Miss should be wiped out!"
Gu Tianxing looked at the serious Qingzhu and felt some sympathy. This poor child, who may have never felt warmth in the past hundred years, has become the character he is now.
She couldn't help tiptoeing, she wanted to touch Qingzhu's head, but found that the height difference was a bit much, so she had to pat her shoulder instead, thinking to herself: Poor Diwa, my sister will be good to you in the future.
Qingzhu was stunned, and forgot to keep up for a while, and the clothes on his body instantly turned pale cyan. The two happily returned to Jiang's mansion and no longer cared about the outside affairs.
In the early morning of the erection day, as soon as the sky was polished, a Xiao Si hurriedly entered the Jiang Mansion and was led by Uncle Wu to the old lady's courtyard.
The subordinates who got up early to sweep the sprinkles whispered, what is going on, so anxious? In the past, things were reported in the front yard, waiting for the old men to get dressed and go out, and it was the first time to go straight to the back house like this.
"What?! Is the message reliable? Old lady Jiang put on her coat, stood up suddenly, and asked the person in front of her.
Xiao Yuan also thought it was a rumor, so he went to check it out in person. The entire Zhu Mansion has been turned into a scorched earth, and Lord Zhu and Zhu Sangongzi were engraved with the word "Heavenly Punishment" on their faces, and they fainted to death on the ruins. The little one was afraid of being unlucky, and he didn't dare to come forward to wake him up. ”
This Xiao Si still has palpitations when he talks about it, that is the Zhu Mansion, in this Zhongzhou, even the King of Zhongshan has to give him seven points of face, but now he has almost been wiped out.
"In addition, the little one also heard that there were some maids in the Zhu Mansion who were spared. sent a few of his subordinates to tie up and ask for a while, but they said...... Say ......"
"Say what? It doesn't hurt to be outspoken! Old lady Jiang pinched her eyebrows, this Lord Zhu is really a scourge, why didn't he die with him?
"It was said that he suddenly felt sleepy last night, so he fell asleep, and when he woke up again, he was thrown outside the door of Zhufu. The villain checked the details of these people, and not all of them were a family, and they didn't find anything wrong. If there is anything unusual, these people have a good reputation in the past. ”
Old lady Jiang took a sip of tea, the thunder of last night was still in his ears, and the earth-shattering bombing sound was really terrifying!
Fortunately, things are not as bad as I thought, and if it is really a punishment from heaven, it would be better. But he believes that someone did it deliberately, but judging by what this person did, he was not killing innocent people indiscriminately, so he didn't have to worry too much about it.
"Old Wu, you let the boss and the others be cautious for me all these days, and the subordinates in the family must also be restrained.
Ying San, you immediately find out if the Zhu Mansion has offended anyone recently, remember, just investigate, don't investigate and provoke! ”
The two took their errands and left in a hurry.
At this time, near Zhu's Mansion, the people who got up early all passed by from here. One or two, looking around at the official errand, they couldn't help but "Phew, you deserve it!" God has eyes! ”
"I've heard that, last night the thunder directly blew up the Zhu Mansion to the ground!"
"Is there such a thing? Such a big move, only the Zhu Mansion was destroyed? ”
"How can this be fake?! I, Uncle Wang, who sells vegetables, and the iron pillar all passed by there, and I can see it clearly! The black-faced man whispered as he put down his pole.
"It's not, we don't know if we can't read, I heard Zhao Laoxiu next door say that this Lord Zhu and that Zhu San have two big words engraved on their faces, 'Heavenly Punishment'!"
When the black-faced man heard this, he thought about it, and suddenly realized:
"The father and son were lying on the ground, and their faces were engraved with words! Left and right faces, one on one side, I don't recognize it, it turns out that it is really a punishment from heaven! God has opened your eyes! ”
"It's really God who has appeared in this way, otherwise why would he only see him have an accident in Zhufu? The thunder last night was so bad that it could split the mountain! ”
For a while, the news that the Zhu Mansion was punished by heaven spread far and wide, but there was no movement at all after the official government surrounded the scene.
When King Zhongshan received the news, he had a headache and quickly invited several staff members to come to discuss.
Everyone, you say a word, after all, this Lord Zhu is a person sent by the imperial court, and he boldly reported that he was punished by heaven, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor?
It's not okay if you don't report it, after all, the state inspection will report to the emperor on a regular basis, and if you don't explain the truth, others still suspect that our prince has two hearts!
Besides, if this is really a heavenly punishment, how can it be cared for, is it that the Zhongshan Mansion is not afraid of bombing?
was arguing enthusiastically, when someone from outside came to report that Master Zhu had arrived, and the room was instantly quiet.
The king of Zhongshan had to bite the bullet to meet the guests, Lord Zhu's father and son sat on the chair, and when they saw the people, they all knelt on the ground, howling and crying, until the prince made the decision for himself!
He also said that he was loyal to the country all his life, and he did his best to die, but now he has almost died in a tragic situation, I hope that the court and the prince can give justice!
King Zhongshan looked at the two big words 'Heavenly Punishment' on the faces of the two, and his heart was sudden.
Fair? The guards of your Zhu Mansion are a little stricter than my Zhongshan Palace, and people say that they will blow it up, am I afraid that I have lived a long time?
It's just that he didn't say much, and immediately said that he would send someone to escort them back to Chang'an, and he would explain the matter to his father.
As for justice or anything, he never mentioned it.
Just kidding, the secret guard came to report, and all sources said that someone saw it with their own eyes, and Zhu's mansion was blown up by a thunderbolt, if it was really done by God, he would not have to clap his hands and applaud!
Gu Tianxing didn't know these things, even if she knew, it didn't matter, she didn't believe that Emperor Qi would stand up for a sinner who had been punished by heaven, and the old man was afraid of death!
It's been seven days since the Jiang Mansion came in a flash, and Gu Tianxing has urged Gu Dad several times to hurry up and prepare supplies, it's time to go.
Although the people in Daao Village are reluctant to live in other people's homes and are not very comfortable, no one has to stay.
It's just the action of preparing supplies, but it's unhurried, it's been seven days, and it's almost done.
Jiang's house is really heroic, except for the old father's family, the other seven households, each family sent a mule, and let the kitchen steam a lot of pastries to eat.
Gu Tianxing was a little embarrassed when he looked at it, he was a life-saving grace to the Jiang family's big house, but this favor had already been paid off!
When there was a shortage of water and people died of thirst, they gave the old father a water bladder.
The ones used to entertain them these days are all high-quality products, and even the beds they sleep on are made of golden silk nanmu. When I finally left, I was sending food, water, mule carts, and horse-drawn carts, which was really generous.
Gu Tai wiped her tears and said goodbye to Mrs. Jiang:
"Yurong, my aunt's family is going to the south, you, you have to take care of yourself in the future. When we settle down, let my family write to you, and go back to our house to sit down and recognize the door. ”
Mrs. Jiang also wiped her tears, held Gu Tai's hand, and persuaded them to stay in Zhongzhou, with the Jiang family here, they could also take care of it.
The old lady looked at her 'godniece' and stopped talking, and then looked at her granddaughter, Gu Tianxing nodded slightly.
Gu Tai was immediately happy, and immediately pulled Mrs. Jiang to the side, that sneaky appearance, I didn't know and thought I was a thief!
Mrs. Jiang knew that the team in front of her could survive the catastrophe, and it must rely on the little girl and the young man named 'Qingzhu'.
She had long noticed that the old lady had something to say, and the old lady's inquiring eyes to the little girl, not too obvious, okay?
Mrs. Jiang retreated, knowing that what the old lady was going to say now was by no means a short nonsense among parents.
"Yurong, my aunt hasn't been able to tell you before, and this Zhongzhou can't stay for a long time. Hey, I recognized you as my niece, and I can be regarded as my own family, I will only say these words to you, but don't stand out. ”
Gu Tai covered his mouth with his hand and said in a low voice:
"This drought will not be over for a while and a half, and there will be a shortage of water in Zhongzhou after that. The most terrifying thing is not this, I am afraid that the plague will start in a short time, and if you plan to leave, remember to go only to the south!
But listen to my family, the south can't be peaceful, don't run blindly, it's best to inquire more. ”
After Gu Tai finished speaking, she looked at the stunned Mrs. Jiang, poked her with her elbow and said:
"Did you make a note of it? This is no joke. ”
Mrs. Jiang only felt that her legs and feet were weak, and she almost fell off her head when she was touched by the old lady like this, but fortunately, her marrying lady was clever with red sleeves, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her.
Red Sleeves felt the cold sweat in the palm of her master's hand, and found that her face was blue, and she hurriedly said, "Madam, are you okay?" ”
Mrs. Jiang stabilized her figure, pinched her red-sleeved hand, and said in a low voice and eagerly:
"Hurry up and call Ma Er and Ma San to come over, remember, immediately, immediately!"
Red sleeves didn't dare to delay, she understood that the matter must be not small, this Ma Er and Ma San were Madame's dowry cronies like herself, and if it wasn't a top-secret matter, they wouldn't be needed.
