Chapter 380: False Decree
No, I'm not hungry. Wei Zhaohua spoke softly, blocking Shen Cuobai's steps as he was about to leave.
Shen Cuobai looked at Wei Zhaohua from a distance, and felt that it was extremely unreal. Wei Zhaohua smiled lightly when he saw Shen Cuobai's appearance, "Why are you looking at me like this, it's not the first time you've seen me?" ”
Shen Cuobai shook his head gently, he couldn't tell how he felt, he just felt very illusory.
The two of them didn't speak, Wei Zhaohua took the ancient books of Miao Jiang left in late autumn, and Shen Cuobai sat at the table and drank tea. Although there is no communication, wherever this scene falls, it is pleasing to the eye.
Flipping through the handwriting page by page, Wei Zhaohua has actually read it not once or twice, but this time it is extraordinarily detailed, with a strong sense of purpose, I hope to find something about last night's woman in the book. But to Wei Zhaohua's disappointment, until dark, she still found nothing.
Carefully put away the book in his hand, Wei Zhaohua and Shen Cuobai went downstairs together. Sure enough, this Qinghe City is still a little weird, there is no human voice all day long, and I don't know if it is deliberate, or if there is something unspeakable. When a few people went downstairs to eat, there was no one downstairs except Xiao Er and the boss.
The door of the inn had long since been closed, and no longer accepted any visitors. Wei Zhaohua's heart moved, and he sat at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.
"I don't know why this Qinghe City is so desolate, it's not as lively as our town, it's really impressive!"
Zhaoyi whispered, knowing that this was not a compliment, and deliberately lowered his voice, but still let the already quiet hall hear it clearly. Hearing the human voice, Xiao Er and the shopkeeper were startled and looked in the direction of several people.
Xiao Er and the shopkeeper glanced at each other, and Xiao Er walked towards this side. Softly spoke, "What are the guests eating?" ”
"Feel free to order your signature dish and some good wine!" Wei Songting opened his mouth to speak, Xiao Er answered, and just wanted to leave, but was stopped by Wei Zhaohua. Xiao Er was puzzled, and even the people with a table looked in the direction of Wei Zhaohua.
"I just don't know something, I just want to ask the second brother. There are only a few of us in this inn, so it is much easier to speak," Wei Zhaohua looked at the lights in the guest rooms upstairs except for a few people, and all the others had been extinguished, "We have just arrived, and we don't know much about Qinghe City, I don't know how you Qinghe City became what it is now?" ”
Xiao Er looked at the shopkeeper with a little inquiry in his eyes. The shopkeeper shook his head gently, and as soon as Xiao Er wanted to refuse, Wei Songting had already taken out a silver ticket from his arms and put it on the table.
"We are also merchants, and we know the rules of merchants. This right should be regarded as a little respect, and the second brother is also asked to tell the truth. ”
Before Xiao Er could speak, the shopkeeper had already walked out from the direction of the counter. Seeing this, Xiao Er glanced at each other, and Xiao Er retreated. The shopkeeper looked at the silver ticket on the table and smiled softly.
"A few guest officers don't know that although this silver ticket is worth a lot, it can't buy human lives."
"What does the shopkeeper mean by this....." Wei Zhaohua asked, thinking of the ghost he had seen in the Niangniang Temple yesterday, and he involuntarily explored a little more.
The shopkeeper sighed and hesitated for a moment before speaking softly.
"Sui Chen was mediocre and had no way to kill the people of the Miao Jiang clan at the beginning. But where can the Miao Jiang clan be easily provoked? I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but they can really provoke ghosts, and it's obvious to all! ”
The shopkeeper said with a nervous face, and when he heard Miao Jiang, Wei Zhaohua unconsciously thought of the woman in white last night, and secretly had some calculations in his heart.
"Although Sui Chen sent a lot of people over, there was still no way to kill all the people in Miao Jiang. The people of Miao Jiang are hiding, and they are in Qinghe City! So Qinghe City is haunted everywhere, and there is no peace everywhere! In the dead of night, there are all kinds of ghosts from hell outside, and we can only look at it! ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded, which completely explained why they saw such an appearance after they came to Qinghe City. The Miao Jiang clan is the most mysterious family, and now that they have come to Qinghe City, they don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.
"However, we haven't heard of any Sui Chen who once issued a holy decree to kill the Miao Jiang people?"
Zhao Yi asked puzzled, looking at everyone. Everyone was also shocked in their hearts, the holy decree of the Son of Heaven is the largest statement in charge of the entire country, so the holy decree is something that everyone knows well, that is, from the most border pass of Daduan and Kyoto of Daduan, the result is the same.
Even if the frontier is remote and the news is slower, it is still not wrong. Moreover, it is clear that the town of Saii is closer to Daduan Kyoto than Qinghe Castle.
"Maybe you don't know, although it is announced to the world, it may not notify everyone. Maybe you didn't see it when the notice was announced. Wei Songting opened his mouth to explain.
Zhaoyi pursed his lips slightly, but he looked stubborn, "I know best what kind of place Caiyi Town is, and besides, what we are talking about is to be proficient in the news of the eight directions." But I don't even know anything as important as the Divine Decree! ”
Wei Songting still wanted to argue, but he didn't want Ping Huan on the side to seem to be in a trance, and after half a salary, he shook his head and interrupted everyone's words, "I really don't know this news." ”
The crowd fell silent, thinking to themselves. If Zhaoyi didn't know alone, it wouldn't matter, but Ping Huan was born in the palace, and unlike Wei Zhaohua, Sui Chen would deceive Wei Zhaohua a little bit when he did things, but Ping Huan was just an ordinary concubine and would not be paid special attention, so what Sui Chen did would not deliberately hide from Ping Huan.
"There was indeed news of the death of Concubine Qiu, but the emperor meant that he wanted a thick burial. Like the original national teacher, all of them have the face of the Miao Xinjiang people. If it is said that the emperor wants to kill the people of Miao Jiang, it is almost impossible! As a big family guarding the royal family, Miao Jiang has been a rare power of the royal family, and Sui Chen will not be willing to lose it easily! ”
Ping Huan spoke, and his tone was a little more determined.
The shopkeeper couldn't understand what everyone was saying, but looking at the serious looks of several people, he also knew that this matter would definitely not be as simple as it seemed. I couldn't interject myself, so I retreated to the counter to rest. Wei Songting put the silver ticket on the table just now, and the shopkeeper still didn't take it.
"What happened in late autumn at the beginning was...... It's Yin Xun's handle! Wei Zhaohua suddenly thought of something, and his pupils suddenly dilated, "He pretended to pass on the holy decree!" ”
Everyone also widened their eyes and looked at Wei Zhaohua in disbelief.
"Falsely preaching the holy decree is a great treacherous sin, Yin Xun has such courage?" Ping Huan asked puzzled.
Wei Zhaohua closed his eyes, carefully thinking about what he looked like when he left in late autumn, coupled with the ending that Yin Xun told him, his heart sank little by little.
"Late autumn's death will not be so simple, and Miao Jiang's affairs are not so simple. But at least it is certain that the holy decree must not have been made by Sui Chen. As for who it is, then only Yin Xun, the closest person to Sui Chen, can know. When the Great Ceremony Ancestral Hall was sealed, have you ever seen Yin Xun? ”
"No," Ping Huan thought about it carefully, "After arriving at the ancestral hall, Yin Xun has disappeared, and all of them are carried by General Suli alone." Until we left, we didn't see Yin Xun. ”
"He was made the general of the Qing State by the new emperor, and he is waiting for us on the frontier." Wei Songting said softly, "When I received the news, I originally thought that he was just falling on both sides of the wall, but I didn't want to have such a big rebellion behind my back!" ”
"Sure enough," Wei Zhaohua evoked a mocking smile, "Then everything can be solved clearly, if you want to abolish Sui Chen, you must eradicate the forces around Sui Chen little by little." No matter how Yin Xun goes, there is a way out behind him! ”
Ping Huan couldn't help but feel a chill coming, although he didn't communicate much with Yin Xun, but when he met, he was always warm, and now he suddenly became like this, which made people feel unacceptable.
Everyone was not talking, Zhaoyi stared at a few people with wide eyes, swallowed his saliva, and eased his nerves slightly.
When Xiao Er brought the meal, several people were not interested in eating. The story was brought up again, it was about Sui Chen, and now it has become a sensitive topic for several people, so people took a few simple bites and went back to the house to rest.
Zhaoyi originally wanted to say a few more words to Wei Zhaohua, but he was looked at by Shen Cuobai's eyes, so he could only take it back, and went back to the house with a stupid Heping Huan. Wei Songting also returned to his house, and Shen Cuobai followed Wei Zhaohua and lived together.
Looking at the people who followed his footsteps in, Wei Zhaohua frowned slightly, "Still outside, in front of so many people, what are you doing this?" If you don't want to sleep with your brother, you can ask for a room. ”
"I just think it's a good place, there are beauties and places, why don't you come?"
Shen Cuobai hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, with a little tenderness on his face, and he didn't have the coldness when facing Zhaoyi at all. Wei Zhaohua turned his back, not wanting to look at it again, but he didn't want to fall into a familiar embrace.
"I'm just worried about your body, whether what the old doctor said is true or not, I'd rather believe it than believe it. If you sleep alone, who can take care of you if something happens at night? ”
Attached to Wei Zhaohua's ear, Shen Cuobai spoke softly, and the warm breath sprayed on Wei Zhaohua's face, adding a bit of ambiguity. Wei Zhaohua's heart moved, and the look on his face softened a lot.
"Since one person is not good, then I will go to Zhaoyi and Pinghuan."
