Chapter Sixty-Nine: Dumb Coptis chinensis
Just when Tianjing and even the entire Xiqi were busy with the emperor's birthday, Tianjing suddenly broke out a big news.
A murder occurred in Qishuizhou, known as the first restaurant in Xiqi.
The Fifth Young Master of Qi Guogong didn't know that he was found hanging on the bridge head of Qishuizhou the next morning.
According to the people who saw it, the death of the fifth young master of the Li family was very ugly, and the entire head was cut off by four-fifths, leaving only a little bit of flesh and skin connecting the body and the head.
The limbs were cut off, and they were piled up under the corpses, but the face was clean, as if asleep, and it was terrifying to see.
When the news reached the palace, the emperor was furious and immediately ordered a strict investigation.
As the Wanshou Festival is approaching, the deceased is the grandson of the Duke of Qi and the nephew of the queen.
It was Jing Zhaoyin and Shuntianfu who were almost non-stop, and immediately turned Qishuizhou inside and out.
What is surprising is that in the end, it was found out that this Qishui Pavilion had colluded with the White Flame Sect back then, and the emperor was very angry when he heard this, and resolutely sealed the Qishui Pavilion, and all the property was filled into the treasury.
The property of the Qishui Pavilion was also registered by the Shuntianfu, allowing others to buy it, and the silver obtained was used for the state treasury.
Listening to Cai Wei's report, the expression on Duanmuqing's face did not change, and he still quietly boiled the medicine for Duanmusu.
For Duanmusu, the events of that day were too bloody, and when he saw Mo Yanji cut off Li Yanji's hand without changing his face, he fainted instantly.
But Duanmu Qing didn't say anything, just brought her back and slowly waited for her to calm down.
Duanmusu looked at his sister in front of him, and suddenly felt a little distressed.
She didn't know why, but it was a little inexplicable.
Poured the medicine into the bowl and blew it cold, Duanmu Qing scooped it with a spoon and brought it to her mouth, "It's not hot, drink it!" ”
This time, Duanmusu gently pushed her hand away, and looked at her with fixed eyes, "Sister, I'm not afraid of you." ”
Duanmu Qing sighed in his heart, looking at the nine-year-old girl in front of him, he didn't know what to do.
Originally, she didn't want Duanmusu to be involved in such a thing, she only hoped that her sister would live her life in peace and make up for the guilt she had in her previous life.
didn't expect that she would be dragged into such a dirty thing.
It is false to say that there is no worry in her heart, Duanmusu is just a little girl after all, if she sees herself like that, she is afraid and disgusted in her heart, what kind of attitude should she have towards her in the future?
"Sister, do you have a lot of things on your mind? If you can't tell Su'er, then don't say it, but Su'er will always be your sister, no matter what you are. ”
Duanmu Qing smiled silently and handed the spoon to her, "Then drink the medicine well, it's not that my sister won't tell you, but that you are too young and weak, when you are better and grow up, maybe you can help your sister!" ”
Finally showing a smile, Duanmusu nodded with a smile, obediently drank the medicine, and asked, "Why can't Jing Zhaoyin and Shuntianfu find out what happened that day?" ”
Duanmu Qing said with a smile: "The words of that day were just Kuang Li Yanji's, I went out of the mansion secretly, how could I sit in the carriage of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, he just followed me all the time that day, and forgot about this."
If I hadn't been with me, no one would have known about my death there.
It's just a pity that he's too sloppy. And I asked him to make such a sensational move, just so that His Majesty would investigate this matter.
As long as you check it, you can naturally find out that the Qishui Pavilion is the property of the Duke of Qi, and others don't know how luxurious the Qishui Pavilion is, and the emperor's people go in to see it, can it still be unclear?
Although the Duke of Qi is powerful, it is not as simple as making money to openly open such a teahouse.
You must know that the people who go are either rich or noble, and the crime of winning over the party is not small, the emperor has found out about it, and the Duke of Qi is not a fool, can you still not know the truth of abandoning the pawn and escorting the car?
The emperor made such a charge, that is, to tell the Duke of Qi that this time they would just let them go, where would the Duke of Qi dare to have something to say. ”
Cai Wei's face was calm on the side, as if Duanmu Qing was talking about ordinary things.
But Duanmusu had a turbulent wave in her heart, and this was the first time Duanmu Qing had said these things to her.
However, the maid next to her sister is so calm, she knows too little about her sister, what is her sister doing on weekdays.
Seeing her emaciated shoulders in a blink of an eye, I suddenly remembered Aunt Huang, who was also so emaciated, and had been worrying about herself all her life.
Now my sister is probably working hard for something!
Duanmu Qing didn't know what she was thinking, so she just smiled and said, "Okay, you don't understand these things yet, just remember one thing, you take good care of your body and take good care of your grandmother and father for me." ”
The murder of Qishuizhou was quickly overshadowed by the excitement of the Wanshou Festival in the notice of Jing Zhaoyin and the silence of the Duke of Qi.
Because it was close to the Halloween Day, in order not to spoil the good days, Li Yanji's funeral was a little too simple, and there were almost no relatives and friends who mourned.
A casual two-day banquet is considered to be the end of the entire funeral.
Duanmu Zi's face was very bad when he came back from the Qi State Mansion, and when he saw Duanmu Qing's gaze, it seemed like he was going to swallow her in one gulp.
I also understand this, others don't know how Li Yanji died, can the Qi State Mansion still not know?
Duanmu Zi and Li Ningshuang ran to the Qi State Mansion to mourn at this time, and the Mo family was about to swallow her.
No matter what the relationship between Duanmuqing and Li Ningshuang is, in the end, Duanmuqing is also from the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and Li Ningshuang is her nominal mother.
Even if Duanmu Qing couldn't get along with the Qi State Mansion by himself, it was because of this aunt and grandmother.
With a hatred, there was no way to attack other places, and he poured all over Li Ningshuang.
Since the last time Li Yanding died, Mrs. Li has been very resentful of the Yongding Marquis Mansion in her heart, and even Li Ningshuang, who can't bear a junior, is also dissatisfied.
This time I folded another grandson, although he was not a handsome character, but after all, he was a person who came down from his own body.
Li Ningshuang is just a concubine in the final analysis, and she knows who is far away.
It was because he saw Mo Lost attacking her unreasonably, but he was unwilling to intervene.
In her heart, she would more or less count the death of her two grandsons on Li Ningshuang's incompetence.
When I came back from a belly of anger at my mother's house, I saw Duanmu Qing Duanmusu accompanying the old lady in the Rongxi Hall, and I was very unhappy, and I couldn't hold it on my face.
But the old lady didn't seem to see it, so she only told her to mourn and rest early.
Coming out of Rongxi Hall, Li Ningshuang was suffocated in her heart and felt uncomfortable.
But I saw Duanmu Zi walking over with a smile on her little girl's face, "Madame, a few days after going back to her mother's house, the eldest aunt has taken a good inventory of your Wenhuaxuan's things, and everything that should be changed has been changed for you." ”
Duanmu Zi frowned slightly, "What do you mean by this, sister?" ”
Duanmu Qing smiled: "Sister, why don't you know this?" The longevity festival is approaching, the emperor of the east will personally come to his majesty to pay his respects, there must be more people to come, it is difficult to guarantee that some distinguished guests will come to our house to visit the door, but when I see that everywhere is old, then we will lose the face of our Yongding Marquis Mansion. ”
"Then why don't you tell us about it, you have to count it at this time?"
Li Ningshuang's words seemed to be squeezed out of between his teeth, and his expression was very cold when he looked at Duanmu Qing.
As if automatically ignoring the hatred in her eyes, Duanmu Qing smiled and said: "There is no way to do this, it looks like it is Wanshou Festival, who knew that your nephew would suddenly be gone!" You can't delay a big deal just because your nephew is gone! Speaking of which, it's still a bad time! ”
"You!" Li Ningshuang almost crushed her silver teeth, why hadn't she found such a poisonous tongue as this girl before?
She even said that her nephew died a bad life, why didn't she want to think about who did it!
"Miss, people are watching the sky, and killing people will pay for their lives."
Duanmu Qing's gaze, which had already turned away, moved to her face again, still with a smile on his face.
"Yes! Madam, you really have to remember that people are watching the sky, and killing people is paying for their lives. ”
Li Ningshuang obviously saw that her face was full of smiles, but those eyes were like a thousand-year-old cold pool, imprinting on people's souls.
Sheng Sheng was excited, and Li Ningshuang didn't want to say more to her, so she quickly took Duanmu Zi's hand and went to Wenhuaxuan.
Looking at her fast steps, Duanmu Qing finally smiled and looked coldly at the figure who had already walked away.
"Miss," Cai Wei said lightly, "everything has been arranged, let's go back!" ”
Duanmuqing nodded, but saw Han Lingxi in the pavilion, who was boiling tea alone.
I don't know how he cooked it, but he could smell the tea from afar.
After thinking about it, Duanmu Qing still walked in, "I heard that you are going to move out the day after tomorrow?" ”
Han Ling turned his face and smiled with a ruffian, "Qing'er can't bear me? ”
Duanmu Qing stood still and didn't move, "Next time, don't burn down your house casually, otherwise the eldest brother is not here, and I can't guarantee that you can come here to live permanently." ”
"There are things in the house that are not clean, so it is better to burn them clean." Han Lingyan looked disappreciative, and took out two teacups from the tea brew from the beginning, "Drink tea!" ”
After thinking for a while, Duanmu Qing still sat opposite him, "The eldest prince's tea-making technique seems to be very unusual!" ”
Han Ling smiled and looked at her obliquely, "It's not as good as the big lady's move to Qi Guogong." ”
Duanmu Qing smiled and didn't answer, this man was too deep, which would always make her feel dangerous.
Shouldn't she have walked in just now?
Han Lingyan completely ignored the change in the expression on her face, and continued, "I saw Qing'er here today because I wanted to talk to Qing'er about something. ”
Duanmu Qing was shocked, and then had to nod, it was indeed him looking for her.
And she actually came in.
"My father is coming to Xiqi." Han Lingxi's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth looked at her with a slight smile, but his eyes were serious.
"I've already heard that the letter written by His Majesty the Emperor Dongli has already been published?"
"But it's not necessarily a good thing for me for my father to come." Han Lingyan automatically ignored her and didn't care, and his eyes were still very serious
