Chapter 59: Out of the City
In the early morning of the second day of the lockdown, bursts of drumming came from the yamen.
Lord Wang looked at the trembling fishermen in the hall and couldn't help asking, "You just said that you met a dead man, is this true?" ”
The fisherman shook his body and said to Lord Wang, "My lord, the grass people have seen it very clearly, and a woman has come to report to the official immediately without delaying the grass people." ”
"Okay, you go back first, the official will immediately send someone to investigate, I don't know why this matter is not known yet, don't mention it to others." Lord Wang slowly instructed the fishermen to send him away.
Lord Wang sat on the chair and thought slowly, what the fisherman said just now, he immediately called the handyman in and said: "You go to Donglin Pavilion quickly, call His Royal Highness the Seventh and Lord Xiahou over, and we will go to that temple together, this matter must not be simple, and Donglin Pavilion needs to come to it." ”
"Yes, sir."
Looking at the miscellaneous servants who had already gone away, Lord Wang couldn't sit still, so he went to the broken temple that the fishermen said in advance.
Shangguan Jin and Xiahou Li, who heard the news, went to the broken temple.
"My lord bothered you to make a trip, and Xia Guan thinks it's not simple."
"Why did Lord Wang say this?"
"Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, listen to the lower official, the place in Liancheng is not big, and each mansion has special clothes for each mansion, and the Qinglou is not suitable for this, when the lower official first came, he saw that this woman was wearing the clothes caused by the accident in the Qinglou, so he called the mother over, and when he asked, he realized that this woman was the girl of their Qinglou!" Lord Wang said slowly to Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou.
"Then Mom brought it here, and we asked carefully." As soon as Shangguan Jin said that, the mother was pushed up by the handyman next to her.
"You say this woman is the girl in your building, but is it true?" Shangguan Jin looked at her mother and said with a cold face.
The mother knelt down and said, "My lord, it must be true, this girl is the cloud that disappeared without a trace!" ”
Shangguan Jin and Xia Hou looked at each other, and surprise flashed in their eyes.........
The air in the study is not very good.
"Father, the official came to report that there was another murder in this lotus city, and now it makes people panic, I'm afraid that the emperor's authority will be damaged." Shangguan Yu knelt in front of the desk and said to the emperor sitting on it.
I saw that the emperor's face became more and more blue, and he reached out and threw the teacup on the ground: "Ridiculous, simply ridiculous, this matter has made such a big fuss, but the seventh has not said anything!" ”
Concubine Yu, who was on the side before, gently patted the emperor's chest and said, "Don't be angry, the emperor, this matter has developed to this point, thinking about the Seventh Highness, it is also more than enough and not enough." ”
After listening to Concubine Yu's words, the emperor was even more furious, patted the table vigorously and said: "Come and pass it on, I will order the case of Liancheng to His Royal Highness the Seventh, and it is clear and clear that the investigation must be withdrawn in a short time!" ”
When Concubine Yu heard the emperor's words, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips where she couldn't see it, and her hand patted the emperor's clothes more gently.
In Shangguan Jin's mansion, Qin Miaomiao and Shangguan Jiayue sat on the swing together, swinging around.
"Miao Miao, Brother Wang seems to have really made a big deal this time." Shangguan Jiayue said sadly while swinging.
Qin Miaomiao was slightly stunned, stopped swinging her feet and asked, "Is the case in Liancheng difficult to handle?" ”
"Originally, it was only a matter of General Dingyuan, but I didn't know how to find out that Qingqi's death was not because of illness, but someone murdered, and then I checked and found that another Qingqi died of unexpectedly, this is good, the successive murders have made the people of Liancheng panic, and now it has reached the ears of my father, I really don't know how the imperial brother can tide over the difficulties this time." Shangguan Jiayue simply stopped swinging, stopped and looked at this, Qin Miaomiao took it seriously, and said it again.
After hearing this, Qin Miaomiao bit her lip and said: "I know, Shangguan Jin is very stupid, without this girl, she can't even do this little thing, no matter what, it is considered that this girl is charitable, I will go to him now and help him get through this difficulty!" ”
Shangguan Jiayue looked at Qin Miaomiao in surprise and said, "Liancheng is not far from Kyoto, but it is not close, you really want to go as a woman?" ”
"What's there to be afraid of, isn't it just a lotus city? It's not a jackal, tiger and leopard, this girl said she would go, oops, don't be obsessed with sister, sister knows that I am also very powerful! Qin Miaomiao fearlessly patted Shangguan Jiayue's shoulder, then took steps to pack her luggage and immediately walked out of the city.
When he was about to leave the city, he found that the city gate was heavily guarded, and he was not allowed to enter or come out.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Wasn't it good the other day? Qin Miaomiao grabbed an aunt and asked.
The aunt saw Qin Miaomiao, a pink and tender girl, and said kindly: "Girl, now that the world is in chaos, hurry up and go home, don't think about going out of the city, it's too dangerous outside!" After saying this, he hurried home.
Qin Miaomiao looked at the heavily guarded city gate, thinking that she would not be able to get out with her own strength, and thinking that she couldn't get out, she walked around eagerly in place again, muttering to herself: "Ouch, ouch, how is this good?" Oh, Shangguan Jin is as stupid as a pig over there, and he will definitely make this matter worse and worse, and now if I don't go over and leave him there alone, my mother's heart will be uncomfortable! ”
Thinking of this, Qin Miaomiao not only scratched her ears and cheeks, but this scene happened to be seen by Shangguan Yu.
Looking at Qin Miaomiao, Shangguan Yu not only smiled, but stepped forward and asked.
"What is Miss Qin doing here alone? Need my help? ”
Hearing someone talking to him, Qin Miaomiao raised her head and saw Shangguan Yu.
"It's you, what a coincidence, why are you here!"
"I happen to be here to do something, what about you? What are you doing here? ”
Qin Miaomiao thought about Shangguan Yu, but it was just a one-sided friendship, and it was not easy to talk to him, so she turned her eyes to him and said.
"My father is seriously ill, but now he can't get out of the city gate, and his heart is very anxious here."
"But it's very serious, I also have a little friendship with this guard, why don't I listen to you tell you to go out first and see your father?"
Hearing Shangguan Yu's words, Qin Miaomiao nodded happily and said: "It's really another village, big brother, I have written down your affection, you wait until I return to the capital, I will definitely invite you to drink the best tea, don't be polite to me!" ”
"That's natural, I didn't come to Kyoto with you that time, and now I have to take a good stroll, do you need me to send you back?" Shangguan Yu asked intimately.
"Ah, no, no, no, big brother, I'm not polite to you, don't be polite to me, well, what about my brother, what about the eldest brother in the family, now I'm waiting for me in the Ten Mile Changting, I'll meet him as soon as I go out of the city, my father is seriously ill, I'm really sorry, I'm sorry, I'm going to leave first!"
Looking at the eager Qin Miaomiao, Shangguan Yu didn't say anything, just sent Qin Miaomiao out of the city, and then turned around and left.
