"Okay," Qing Nan never let go of the hand holding Shangguan Yong, and said, "You come with me, and I'll take you to see your sister-in-law and Xiao Ruizi." ”

"My lord," a team leader from Dali Temple walked up to Wei Xisheng with two servants carrying corpses.

Wei Xisheng glanced at the corpse, on the charred face, the two rows of teeth were not burned black, and after the lips were gone, the two rows of teeth were bared on the face, like a ghost. "What's wrong with this corpse?" Wei Xisheng asked.

"Look, my lord," the team leader asked Wei Xisheng and Jiang Xiaoting to look at the throat of the corpse.

The corpse's face was charred, but the body was only burned with grease and a shiny dark yellow. Wei Xisheng and Jiang Xiaoting both saw that there was a knife in the throat of this corpse.

"Who would dare to do such a thing in Kyoto?" Jiang Xiaoting asked Wei Xishengdao, "If you kill people in Kyoto City without blinking, is there any royal law?" ”

Wei Xisheng asked the squad leader to take this corpse away, he thought more deeply than Jiang Xiaoting. Shangguan's family was destroyed, and the murderer did not hesitate to burn down the entire street in order to cover up the evidence, if it was just for money, the murderer would not have done so. Shangguan Yong is Zhou Yi's general, and Zhou Yi is in Xiang'an City at the moment, if Shangguan Yong follows Zhou Yi to attack Xiang'an City, then today's matter will not be related to King Xin's rebellion.

Jiang Xiaoting saw Wei Xisheng's bitter face and didn't speak, so he said, "You have something to say!" ”

Wei Xisheng and Jiang Xiaoting are sons and daughters, and they can speak frankly with each other, "This is not the place to talk," Wei Xisheng waved his hand at Jiang Xiaoting and said, "This matter is deep, we should first show the Holy Lord, and wait for the Holy Decree." ”

Wei Xisheng's words were deep, Jiang Xiaoting was silent, they were all people in Kyoto City, and some words didn't need to be said too bluntly, they could understand them.

Wei Xisheng looked around, it was chaos, there were people everywhere, and he didn't know if the murderer was still mixed in the crowd. "The open flames have been extinguished," Wei Xisheng said to Jiang Xiaoting, "Let's go into the palace overnight to face the saint." ”

"This is Shangguan's house," Jiang Xiaoting said, "Did you send someone to the Anfu Branch?" ”

"This fire, I'm afraid that the saints in the palace already know about it, if Anfu really cared about this daughter, he should have sent someone to see it a long time ago," Wei Xisheng sneered and said, "We don't have to be unpleasant, let's go." ”

Jiang Xiaoting burst out and walked away with Wei Xisheng one after the other.

Qing Nan dragged Shangguan Yong from the south of the city to the north of the city, and finally walked into a small inn.

There are a few wind lamps hanging under the eaves of the backyard of the small inn, which are constantly swaying by the wind, and the candlelight flickers left and right, making Shangguan Yong look confused, "Where are your sisters-in-law?" He asked Qingnan.

Qing Nan and several brothers who came with him stood side by side in front of Shangguan Yong, and at this time, Qing Nan finally didn't have to pretend to laugh anymore.

Seeing that the brothers were all sad, Shangguan Yong already knew the answer, but he still asked Qing Nan as if he was deceiving himself, "Where are they?" ”

"Big brother's day mourning," Qingnan said, "Sister-in-law, little nephew, little Ruizi, and Ning'er are all gone." ”

Shangguan Yong raised his hand and wanted to beat Qingnan, since his family is not here, what is this person pulling him here for?

Qing Nan said, "Big brother, it's okay for you to beat me." ”

Shangguan Yong raised his hand and looked at Qingnan for a long time, "Beat you, can they come back to life?" Shangguan Yong suddenly asked Qing Nan.

Qing Nan shook his head.

Shangguan Yong turned around and walked out of the courtyard. "Big brother!" This time, several people rushed up together and hugged Shangguan Yong.

"Big brother, we've already asked around, the fire burned from the house," Qing Nan shouted with Shangguan Yong, "There is no one alive, no one in the family is alive, when the fire burns, the sister-in-law and the sisters are already dead!" ”

"It can't be!" Shangguan Yong exerted his brute strength, shook off the pull of several people, and rushed out of the courtyard.

Qing Nan was thrown to the ground by Shangguan Yong, and he couldn't catch up with Shangguan Yong, so he sat on the ground and shouted to Shangguan Yong, "At this time, shouldn't you think about revenge?!" You are also dead, who will avenge this revenge? If you don't take revenge, how are you going to meet your sister-in-law in the future?! ”

Shangguan Yong's footsteps stopped, and then he ran out.

"Shall we chase after us?" A few people in the courtyard didn't know what to do.

Qing Nan jumped up from the ground, touched his face, and said, "It's good that he's not crazy, let's follow him, don't let him be targeted." Let's go! Seeing that a few people were still standing stupidly, Qing Nan yelled at them, "At this time, who can be more sad than him?!" ”

Several people chased out of the inn, and there was still Shangguan Yong on the street.

"He must have gone back," Qing Nan urged a few people behind him as he ran towards the south of the city, "You all hurry up!" ”

When Qingnan chased a few people to the old alley in the south of the city, the front and back alleys had been blocked by the officials of Dali Temple.

"Our home is inside," Qingnan said to the official who stopped him from entering the alley.

"This alley is sealed," the official pushed Qing Nan back.

"I can't go home either?"

"Where else is your home here?"

In the ruins of an alley, how can there still be a house intact?

Qing Nan stopped for a moment, and immediately shouted to the official again, "Aren't there so many people here?" ”

"I can't control the people here," although the official has been pushing Qing Nan back, his attitude is not bad, and he said to Qing Nan, "This is an order from above, and I have no choice, if you let one more person in, it will be our dereliction of duty, don't embarrass us." ”

"Qing is not dead," Qing Nan was still not dead, and when he wanted to fight with this official again, a brother pulled his clothes and said, "Look at our left hand side." ”

Qing Nan looked to their left-hand side, and there were five or six people separated from them, a tall man was standing there, although his clothes were ordinary, but his eyes were very bright, and he looked like a practitioner with deep internal skills.

"There are a few more in the back," the brother said to Qing Nan, "could they be murderers?" ”

"Damn," Qing Nan whispered, "You ask me, how do I know?" ”

"Be quiet," said the brother, "and the boy is watching us." ”

Qing Nan said, "Let's go first." ”

"That big brother is still inside!"

"Can't these people get in? Are we afraid of a fart? Qing Nan turned around and squeezed out of the crowd, "Let's go first." ”

"What if these guys come along?"

"Come along?" A hint of fierceness flashed in Qing Nan's eyes, "Then we just avenge the sister-in-law!" ”

In the old alley, people who were running around did not notice a man kneeling in front of the ruins of Shangguan's house.

Shangguan Yong went to the place where the corpse was put and looked at it, the corpse after being burned by the fire was incomplete, and he couldn't see what it looked like before he was born, he didn't know if there was any of his family in it, but looking at these corpses, Shangguan Yong's heart died, and the blood in his whole body was frozen, and he even doubted whether he was still alive in this world.

When Sejong woke up, he looked at the red tent above his head and listened to the sound of rain outside the house, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. It wasn't until Sejong's hand touched the sheets under him, a large puddle of greasy and slippery mucus, put his hand stained with mucus in front of his eyes, and after rubbing his fingers for a while, Sejong suddenly sat up from the bed. "Splendid?" Sejong screamed in bed.

The lights and candles in the room burst into flames, and no one answered Sejong's shout.

Sejong got out of bed in his clothes, and before he had time to think about what was going on, he pushed open the door and saw the rain-drenched man sitting in the courtyard outside the dripping eaves. Sejong looked left and right, and there was no one, and the woman who was sitting in the rain still sat motionless when she heard the sound of him opening the door. Sejong walked into the rain and walked up to the woman in a few steps, "Splendid? ”

The woman's upper body was wrapped very tightly around her body, but she did not wear shoes and socks under her feet, exposing her feet and half of her calves. In the darkness of a starless rainy night, the pair of arched feet and round calves were dazzlingly white and jade-like.

Sejong lifted the woman's long hair, and the face under the long hair was the face that Sejong had in mind, "Splendid Beauty," Sejong called the woman, his voice was very soft and cautious, as if he was afraid of frightening the woman.

An Jinxiu just raised his eyes and glanced at Sejong, and then he didn't react at all.

"Let's go in and talk!" Sejong picked up An Jinxiu horizontally and walked quickly to the room. The person was held in his hand, and Sejong was thinking, such a light person, it didn't have much weight in his hand.

After An Jinxiu was put on the bed by Sejong, she still had a blank face, and she didn't look at Sejong, she was like a puppet, and let Sejong wrap her in a quilt.

"This," Sejong asked, sitting next to Ahn Jinxiu, "what the hell is going on?" ”

An Jinxiu still didn't move.

"An Jinxiu!" Sejong raised his voice and shouted An Jinxiu by name.

An Jinxiu's body trembled, and then turned his head to look at Sejong.

Looking at his eyes, he cried bitterly, glowing with watery red, but they were still black and white, and the eyes of ordinary people were dark brown, but the eyeballs of these eyes were dark black, like ink. Sejong was stared at by such a pair of eyes, and couldn't help but soften his heart again, and said softly, "Why are there only me and you here?" ”

An Jinxiu shook her head, and then she cried again, and without making a sound, big tears fell down.

"I want you?" Sejong looked at An Jinxiu like this, and believed that his hearty love was accompanied by this little woman.

"Courtier," An Jinxiu suddenly covered her mouth and cried bitterly after saying this word.

Sejong has never pitied any woman in his life, but when he was in Anfu Xiangyuan, this little woman provoked his pity, and now he listened to the cry that was close at hand, and the voice was sad and sad, which made Sejong feel distressed when he heard it, "This, what's going on?" He asked An Jinxiu softly, "Don't cry, I am here, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”

An Jinxiu cried, "The concubine doesn't know what's going on, after the saint came in, sanity, sanity ......" Speaking of this, An Jinxiu didn't seem to dare to continue, and covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

Since he already has a skin-to-skin relationship, Sejong doesn't care about the difference between men and women, and stretches out his hand to hold An Jinxiu in his arms. Sejong was kind to comfort him, if the woman in the palace could be held in his arms like this, it must be smiling and happy, but to Sejong's surprise, An Jinxiu was touched by him, like a frightened bird, jumped up directly from his arms, but his legs were weak to stand, and he fell to the ground softly.

"Splendid!" Sejong hurriedly bent down to help.

"Holy Lord, the concubine should die," An Jinxiu dodged Sejong's hands and cried, "You don't have to worry about the concubine." ”

"What are you guilty of?" Sejong simply pulled An Jinxiu up from the ground, wrapped his hands in a circle, hugged An Jinxiu, and imprisoned the little woman in his arms, "When I wanted you, were you delirious?" ”

"The saint is Mingjun, and it's all the concubine's fault."

Ahn Jinxiu's tears dripped on the back of Sejong's hand, and they seemed to drop on Sejong's heart.

"The concubine has ruined the wisdom of the saint, and she has no shame to go to see my general again," An Jinxiu said sadly, "After the concubine dies, no one knows what happened tonight." I also pray that the Holy God will not sin and the concubine's family because of the fault of the concubine's body. ”

Obviously, he was in a state of confusion and asked for this little woman, but the little woman insisted that she had seduced him and took all the faults, and Sejong had a smile on his face. Holding the person in his arms tighter again, Sejong asked in An Jinxiu's ear, "Are you willing to accept joy?" ”

An Jinxiu's face was already bloodless, but after hearing Shizong's words, even his lips turned gray, and he said in horror, "The concubine is a minister's wife, how can she ruin the reputation of the saint?" ”

"My reputation?" Sejong said, "What about your own reputation?" ”

An Jinxiu shook her head, "The concubine's life is cheap." ”

"So you only care about my reputation?"

"Holy Lord, the concubine is a dying person, you better go quickly," An Jinxiu struggled in Sejong's arms with tears in her eyes, wanting to leave.

"I only ask you one thing, are you willing to be happy?" Sejong ignored An Jinxiu's struggle, and still asked in An Jinxiu's ear, "I want the truth, you know that bullying the king is a capital crime, right?" ”

An Jinxiu was silent for a long time, and then said to Shizong, "When the concubine was in her mother's house, my mother often said that the seed of the slave seedling was not good to teach, because she was born cheap, so she was shameless and could not be on the stage. The concubine is indeed shameless, and the concubine Chenghuan has no regrets this time. ”

"Because I'm the Emperor?"

"If there is no saint, the concubine doesn't know how many days she will live in her mother's house, and she doesn't know how she will be arranged," An Jinxiu said quietly, "The saint is a good person, and the concubine is gracious, although she has no face to see my general again, but the concubine does not regret it." ”

"So you actually like me?" Sejong listened to An Jinxiu say that he had no regrets, not to mention that his heart was full of joy, and the smile on his face was undisguised.

An Jinxiu was ashamed, and only said, "The concubine shouldn't live anymore." ”

Seeing An Jinxiu's painful appearance, Sejong ignored the little woman's struggle, reached out and wiped away all the tears on An Jinxiu's face, this face was still very beautiful and pitiful in such an embarrassing situation, just like when he first saw her in Anfu Xiangyuan. The first time Xiangyuan saw Sejong, it was a good memory, so looking at An Jinxiu's gaze became more and more soft, "I said that you won't die, you won't die, I am the Son of Heaven, can't I protect a little woman like you?" ”

An Jinxiu looked at Sejong and cried in amazement, but her heart was cold, she just wanted this man to have mercy, so that she could continue to live. The fate of husband and wife with Shangguan Yong must be hopeless, and the emperor will not let the women he has used lie under other men, even if they are husband and wife. So what is the meaning of this life for her An Jinxiu?
