Chapter 554: It's none of my business
Xiao Changdun's mood was very complicated, but it seemed like a stone had been put down.
Although the cause of the Empress Dowager's death is already certain, it was the Empress Dowager Yang herself who announced that now that the Yang family has fallen, it is inevitable that someone will make a big fuss about the cause of the Empress Dowager's death.
Xiao Changdun showed a loving smile, he could let one hundred and eighty people find out the origin of the red lady and Shen Tong, and of course, one hundred and eighty people would no longer question the cause of the Empress Dowager's death.
The Empress Dowager died at the hands of the remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty, and had nothing to do with Shen Tong's mother and daughter, and had nothing to do with Xiao Ren.
In addition to Emperor Taizu, no one can abolish the Empress Dowager, even if the Yang family raids the house and destroys the door, the Empress Dowager is also the wife of the Zhou family, in the history books, the Empress Dowager is still the Empress of Emperor Taizu, the mother of the world, the eternal virtuous queen who assisted the two generations of emperors, and was worshiped by the descendants of the Zhou family for generations.
No matter who kills the Empress Dowager, she is a rebel and a thief, and her crime should be punished.
The remnants of the Later Jin Dynasty are chaotic ministers and thieves, and the people of the world will be punished.
"Miss Shen, can you promise the old man one thing?" Xiao Changdun said gently.
Shen Tong smiled: "If it is about the mother, please rest assured, there is no more red lady in the world." ”
The real red lady has long been married incognito, isn't there no more red lady in the world?
Xiao Changdun bowed his head in satisfaction, groaned slightly, and asked, "Miss Shen has something important to do when she comes to the capital?" ”
"I came this time to thank Grandpa Guo."
After speaking, Shen Tong gave a deep salute.
Although I don't know how she escaped from the capital in the first place, she must have died in her life. The capital was a dangerous place for her, but she ventured into the capital just to thank him.
"I don't know the dog...... I wonder if the dog is okay? Xiao Changdun also wanted to ask about Xiao Liu.
Shen Tong thought of the "dog": "He is very good, and he will be even better in the future." ”
After all the things that should be said have been said, Shen Tong got up and said goodbye, Xiao Changdun did not keep it, there are some people in this world who can not be kept if they want to.
Shen Tong pulled the curtain out, and Ama stood under the porch, rubbing his hands, as if he was a little helpless.
The small courtyard was quiet, sprinkled with spring light, the oranges were eating something, and when they saw Shen Tong coming out, they meowed, which was a hello.
But what's the deal with those feathers?
......
Zhou Zheng sent half of his men to escort the county lord of Yining back to Xi'an, and he went to Baoding Mansion.
Just like when they left Xi'an, these horses disguised themselves and moved forward in batches. The early spring is warm and cold, looking around, the eyes are full of bleak mixed with patches of spring flowers, the wind blows, bringing up a piece of dust, the flower branches sway in the wind, the traveler on the horse protects the hat on his head, and scolds this damn wind.
Zhou Zheng smiled, Xi'an at this time should be more spring than here.
He thought of his newlywed Yan'er's wife, and suddenly found that he couldn't remember her appearance, and all that came to his mind was a vague face under the phoenix crown.
He had been away from Xi'an for too long, and it would be even longer, and he tried to remember, not wanting to let himself forget even this blurry face.
"When I get to Baoding Mansion, let Xiao Qi help me find someone to draw it." He remembered that Xiao Ren's subordinates were good at drawing portraits, he didn't remember his wife's appearance, and the attendants who accompanied him always remembered.
Zhou Zheng laughed: "Let's go, we have to get to Baoding earlier!" ”
Yue Yang had been to Baoding, this road was already very familiar, he remembered that there was an inn after walking more than fifty or sixty miles, and he would definitely be able to arrive today, but it should be dark by then, just enough to sleep well.
At night, everything is silent, and the horse's hooves are heavy.
"Look, there's a fire ahead!"
Yue Yang, who was walking in front, looked around, and sure enough, the fire and shadow were sufficient, there were at least a dozen miles, and the plain was wide, and it could be seen from a long distance.
Yue Yang frowned, could this be the inn in this direction?
He asked people to go to the front to investigate, and he and Zhou Zheng waited on the side of the road.
Half an hour later, the person who went to inquire came back and said: "It is an inn that walks the water, and the nearest village is also three or four miles, and the villagers have not come to put out the fire, only a few passers-by are watching the excitement, saying that they have not seen anyone running out of the inn." ”
No one ran out?
Yue Yang lived in that inn, a radius of 100 miles, not only this inn, but those are small, and this inn is placed in the capital, and it is also big. Not only is the place big, but also very new, and the layout is also elegant, otherwise, Yue Yang would not have taken Zhou Zheng to stay there.
The weather is dry and dry, and it is not uncommon to walk on the water, but it is strange that there is a huge inn, and no one runs out.
Yue Yang looked at Zhou Zheng and asked for Zhou Zheng's opinion.
"It's not winter again, find a secluded place, let's sleep overnight." Zhou Zheng said with a smile.
They had procured dry food on the road, except for Zhou Zheng and the two chamberlains, the others were soldiers, and sleeping in the open was a common thing for them.
The pathfinder soon returned, and from the fork in the road ahead, there was a grove of dates.
So everyone got back on the road and soon found the jujube forest.
"It's really strange, how can no one escape, at this time the people in the inn shouldn't all be asleep, at least a few of the guys are still awake."
Yue Yang was still thinking about the inn's water walk.
It's eventful, it's none of your business, no one wants to be nosy, Yue Yang is just curious, but she doesn't want to find out.
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "If all the people in the inn died before they walked into the water, wouldn't there be no one running out?" ”
"Yes, of course dead people won't run out on their own", Yue Yang slapped his thigh and said excitedly, "Not only dead people, but if someone is drugged, they won't be able to run out either." ”
There were at least a few dozen people in the inn, and it would be a hassle to kill them all from room to room.
"It's all well water here, does that inn have a well?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"Of course, there is a well, there is no village in front of the village, there is no shop in the back, how can you drink water without a well." Although Yue Yang hadn't seen the inn's well, there would definitely be.
Zhou Zheng sighed, and sneered: "That's right, they just need to put the medicine in the well and wait, this hour should have just had dinner, the people in the inn fell down one by one, and then lit a fire and burned the inn, whether it was a passer-by or the inn, they thought it was a casual water in the inn, as for those guests who stayed overnight, who knows who is named." ”
A few crows flew overhead, and Yue Yang wiped his forehead, and there was a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
"Well-planned, I think those people are not targeting the innkeeper, but the guests who live in the inn." Yue Yang remembered that he was staying here not long ago, if he was really poisoned in the water, he would not be able to escape, and no one even knew that he died in the inn, and he did not see anyone dead or a corpse, just like a drop of dew that disappeared without a trace.
