This morning was not good, and the Jingguo Mansion was immersed in a thick silence. Mrs. Qiao was sick yesterday, lying on the bed and staring, and when she asked the doctor, she only said "depressed in my heart".

The third lady, Qu, has been taking care of her; Zhou decocted medicine for her in the small kitchen during the day, and recited scriptures and prayed in the ancestral hall at night; The second room has been making a fuss - the second master didn't return home last night, but listening to the mother-in-law guarding the back door, he went to Baiyan Lane to see the singer who was raised there.

The Qi family was naturally very angry, and immediately dropped several ink treasures of the second master, and at this time, Aunt Xu also came to touch the mold, saying that she could change Qiao Hui's pink wedding dress.

"Can a mere concubine still be red? She thinks a lot! ”

Qiao Jing learned well, Junlang's facial features were distorted by him, Qiao Yu smiled all of a sudden, and said, "Third brother, what happened later?" And then? ”

In the next second, Qiao Jing's face changed, he frowned, and said seriously: "How did the second aunt know that Aunt Xu was not easy to mess with, so she pushed the second aunt to the ground......

"What nonsense." Qiao Mei twisted a sour plum and interrupted him, "Who doesn't know that Aunt Xu is the most weak, where can she dare to fight with the second aunt?" ”

Qiao Yu nodded in response to her words, "That's it!" Nonsense! ”

After speaking, a mother-in-law came outside to look for Qiao Yu, "Sixth girl, Madame asked you to go back to the yard." ”

"Huh," Qiao Yu got up, saluted Qiao Jing with Qiao Mei, and smiled sweetly, "Brothers and sisters, I'll come back next time." ”

"Watch your body, don't play in the water anymore." Qiao Jing waved at her and admonished again.

It's a pity that the little girl has already run away, and I don't know if she heard it.

"The third aunt doesn't hold on to this girl," Qiao Jing squatted down again, his face suddenly lost his previous cynicism, and he said, "Qingbao, do you know what crime my father has committed?" ”

Qiao Mei looked at him and shook his head, "I don't know." ”

"They said that my father was corrupt and bent the law when he went to Nanzhou, and he didn't repair the river properly." He scratched his head, and his face was a little puzzled, and his previous solemnity quickly became unbearable, and he said, "But! How could His Majesty listen to those people's words? Just send your dad directly? I don't believe it anyway......"

Qiao Mei on the other side smiled crookedly, but she didn't answer.

Last night, Qiao Mei told Zhou the truth about her conjectures, and Zhou let go of half of his heart, no longer worried, and went to take care of Mrs. Qiao with the third lady Qu.

And this morning, the news reached Renqitang, but only Qiao Jing came back.

"Where did the fourth brother go?" Qiao Mei spat out the core of the plum and asked.

Qiao Jing waved his hand, "Harm, how do I know, he hasn't been back to the school since yesterday, and the master actually gave him a fake, it's really too partial......"

As he spoke, he casually plucked a dog's tail grass and bit it in his mouth, and lay down with his head tilted, half-squinting.

The blue sky is hidden in the clouds, the May wind is cool and pleasant, and the willow branches in the yard are graceful with the wind.

-

Heren Palace.

Today's sun is very good, the man's eyes are closed, and he is lying on the jade chair of the black nanmu in his usual clothes, with a dragon crown on his head, and his fingers wearing a jade wrench ring knock on the chair one by one.

Ah Hai walked over, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, there is movement in the prison." ”

Emperor Zhaoren's eyes slowly opened, and his fingertips stopped, "Can you take people down?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the Praetorian Guards have detained people and put them directly in prison, just waiting for you to speak." Ah Hai smiled respectfully.

Emperor Zhaoren got up, "Let's go, let's take a look." He came back and said, "Send someone to the East Palace to inform the prince." ”

"Whoa." Ah Hai responded with a smile and covered the deep thought in his eyes.

The prison was very empty, and in the past few years, there had been a great famine in the south and north, and not a drop of rain had fallen for several months, and all the crops had died, and the people had no food to eat.

In order to appease the common people in the world, Emperor Zhaoren ordered the release of all the people who had no major crimes in the prison.

The rats living in the dark, their eyes rolled bonelessly, and some of their fat bodies dragged their four paws, and when they heard the sound, they immediately made a few quick strokes and then disappeared into the darkness.

In the endless darkness, there was a glimmer of light, followed by the sound of the jailer kneeling and prostrating.

Because they were ordered first, only the jailer and the jailer on duty were left to wait here.

Ah Hai was carrying a nine-turn glass lamp next to him, and the lights were sufficient, illuminating the scene in front of him clearly.

The man was tied to a cross log, his fine brocade robe was abrasively rubbed, his hair was draped over his shoulders to hide his face, and his hands hung limply beside him.

Emperor Zhaoren waved his robe and sat down, frowning at this scene.

The prison chief next to him stepped forward with a humble face and smiled flatteringly: "Your Majesty, this person has fainted, look ......"

Ah Hai looked at Emperor Zhaoren's calm expression, and nodded at the prison head, who immediately waved his hand to let people step forward.

The jailer, dressed in uniform clothes, immediately raised a basin of water, and the man choked on the water and coughed violently. He opened his eyes dimly, and with a single glance, a little fear spread in his eyes. Soon, however, he changed his countenance, "Despicable! ”

But when they saw his face, everyone was shocked.

His face was a little abrupt and strange at first glance - a high nose, high cheekbones, and deep eyebrows.

"You're not from Nanqi." Emperor Zhaoren's eyes were cold, and the light inside was floating and heavi, and it was cold again.

Hearing his words, the man sneered, the fear in his eyes slowly faded into disdain, and he sneered: "Dog Emperor! You don't need to know who I am! ”

"Presumptuous!" Ah Hai shouted repeatedly.

The man looked at him, his disdain even more obvious, and he said, "You ......" Before he finished speaking, a fishy sweet breath surged to his lips, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his hand curled up spasmodically before hanging down weakly after a few breaths.

Ah Hai took a few steps back, and Emperor Zhaoren also frowned and got up, he couldn't dodge, and a few drops of hot blood were splashed on his robe.

The head of the prison trembled and was about to step forward to wipe him, but Emperor Zhaoren shook his sleeves and left with a black face, leaving only a sentence.

"Investigate this person for me!"

Ah Hai glanced at the prison head who looked like he was in the aftermath of the catastrophe, he shook his head lightly and followed.

The head of the prison glared at the jailer who was splashing water, and said in a low voice, "Why don't you go and call someone to deal with it." ”

The jailer lowered his head, his eyebrows furrowed and he couldn't see his expression clearly, "Yes." ”
