Chapter 57: Where the Dead Are the Bodies?
, wonderful no pop-up window for free!
The distance from the ruler was already very hot, and there was an old man to protect him, and he was even more depressed: "What did she do, she knew in her own heart, these twenty whips are still less!" ”
Li Xiaoxiao cried even more aggrieved, "I didn't, it was Aunt Yun who instructed Lizhan to frame me!" Daddy, why don't you believe me? ”
The old lady glanced at Lizhan with an inexplicable and complicated look. But after only glancing at it, he turned around and wiped away his tears with his thin old hand: "Don't cry, don't cry, with your grandmother here, no one can bully you." ”
Lizhan smiled helplessly in the bottom of her heart, she was an outsider in the end, and when she needed to stand in line, no one would help her, she took a big sip of tea, and her mood was like this cold tea, free and open-minded in bitterness.
"What are you doing here, tell you to get out!" Seeing that she was still drinking tea, he couldn't help but sprinkle all his anger on her.
This roar was earth-shattering, and the old lady looked at the basin of blood and water in the main room, and the cloudy old eyes flashed darkly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Zhan'er, there is no place where you can help here, so you can listen to your father and go back to the house and rest early." The old lady finally said.
What is this to let her rest earlier? This is clearly also thinking that she is unlucky.
Lizhan put down the teacup heavily, stood up without shaking her face, and the well-behaved old lady blessed her body, "Zhan'er listens to her grandmother's words, and she will not be an eyesore in front of her father." Grandmother shouldn't worry too much, Aunt Yun is pregnant with a son, and she must be a blessed person. Ji people have their own natural appearance, and they will be safe. ”
The old lady felt comfortable when she heard this, and her face was a little relieved.
He turned his back and disappeared into the east courtyard step by step, but he secretly said in his heart: Let you be proud first, and you will cry and beg me later.
******************************
Leave the lamp and return to Xiaolan Courtyard. The courtyard was quiet, and crickets could be heard calling in the grass.
From a distance, the candle light in the kitchen was still on, and I didn't eat much at noon, and I was called to the east courtyard in the afternoon, and it was night, so I was naturally a little dizzy from hunger.
She quickened her steps and walked towards the kitchen, pushed open the door, and saw Miao Miao and Qiao'er around the stove with a greedy look.
The firewood in the stove crackled, and the mushy smell with a fragrant smell of meat rushed to the mouth and nose, which made people appetite.
Qiao'er saw that Lizhan was back, and quickly got up to greet her: "Second Miss." ”
Leaving the lamp and pushing the door into the house, Qiao'er stared at the boy carefully, for fear that she was injured somewhere, and her eyes naturally showed a look of concern.
"The old hall master didn't embarrass Miss, right?"
"Hmm." Lizhan nodded lightly: "What you burned, it's so fragrant." ”
Qiao'er swallowed her saliva unconsciously when she saw Lizhan, and inexplicably felt that this peerless beauty was also stained with some fireworks, and she was not as cold and arrogant and alienated as before.
She happily pulled out a few thin sticks from the stove, each wearing a small, black thing.
"Miao Miao went out of the house to catch some bamboo shoots and worms."
"Worms?"
After taking a closer look, he turned away, not wanting to look again. She has the memory of a ghost doctor, so she naturally knows what kind of worm it is, and even knows what it smells like. But in her last life, she was a daughter, don't talk about worms, but she won't touch the internal organs of animals.
Lizhan was disgusted on the one hand, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Alas...... It's because she can't take care of this little apprentice, she can't eat good meat and vegetables, so she can't catch insects to eat.
There was a sour feeling of sourness, and suddenly someone pulled her skirt, lowered her head, and Miao Miao innocently wiped the blackened insect and held it up in front of her.
"Master, try it, I've been catching it for a long time."
This bamboo shoot worm has wings, and it is really not easy to catch it. Lizhan couldn't resist the pair of watery eyes, and hesitantly took the skewer.
"This one is the fattest." Miao Miao smiled happily, revealing one of his knocked out baby teeth.
I really couldn't resist this little apprentice, so I had to close my eyes and bite into it.
"Give me another one."
"Okay!"
Lizhan held seven or eight sticks, and ate with great interest, the kitchen door was too hot, so he simply sat down on the stone ladder with his skirt and bit it heavily.
I was still sad about the bugs, but now I find that the poor also have the happiness of the poor.
Miao Miao sat down with her and chatted with her while eating, "Master, the apprentice went outside to catch insects today, and went to a bamboo forest near the noon gate. ”
I haven't cared about the outside world for a long time, so I asked casually, "Lively?" What's hilarious? ”
"The three heads hanging on the noon door are gone."
"What do you mean?" The corpse of General Lai's family...... It's gone? ”
"Hmmm! It was gone this morning, and it was surrounded by people all day, and the officers and soldiers came several times. When I went, it seemed that Lord Kyo Yin was accompanying him...... What is that Dali Temple...... The most powerful ...... in Dali Temple"
"Dali Siqing?"
"Yes, Dali Siqing! Anyway, the people of Dali Temple surrounded the noon gate and are investigating the matter thoroughly. But the disciples couldn't figure it out, didn't they say that the people of the Li family had been beheaded all over the house? Who will rob their bodies? ”
I can't tell if I'm happy or sad. Sometimes the heart beats violently, sometimes it is silent as if it is about to go into shock. It's the seven souls that go to the six souls, and some souls don't possess the body.
Unexpectedly, King Qi was good at talking, and his movements were quite neat. It's only been a long time, and things have already been done.
The big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground, and a string that had been strained in my mind was finally loosened.
Shensi seemed to return to her previous life, she remembered that her father was weathered, but always with a loving face, always laughed and scolded her from time to time: "Zhan'er, you don't care about everything, how should your father say that you are good?" ”
At this time, she usually grabbed her brother's hand and wrapped it tightly in the crook of her arm to deny: "There is a father and brother in everything, as long as you can serve your father, you can call your brother." ”
My brother would always flick it on her head: "Who is going to listen to you, ghost girl!" ”
Lizhan couldn't help but bury his head and cover his face with his hands.
Confused...... She's so confused...... Knowing today, she would not have been like a child, blindly relying on the protection of her father and brother.
If it weren't for the fact that she could live with dignity and confidence in the palace, why would her father and brother obey Gu Yueze's words?
"Master? Why are you crying? ”
Crying? She didn't notice it herself, and she quickly wiped the water stains from the corners of her eyes, "No, it's the firewood that is too smoky." ”
Qiao'er listened, and hurriedly pulled out the remaining bamboo shoot insects, and fed the stove with a water scoop.
Miao Miao happily continued: "Master, you don't know, all the people are talking about it, saying that this person's head has been lost. It stands to reason that there should be some soldiers guarding the noon gate strictly. ”
"Praetorian Guard."
"Yes, how do you know, Master?"
She grew up in the capital, and her father is a member of the military department, all kinds of armies and soldiers, all of them have a good memory, these simple things, ordinary people know, how can she not know?
Li Zhan didn't explain, so he took the conversation straight over: "All the gates of the capital are replaced by the Praetorian Guards for twelve hours, and they take turns to change the handles. It stands to reason that the Li family's head is hung at the noon gate, and the guard should be tighter. After all, the purpose of hanging his head in public is to declare royal face. If the head is lost, the face will not be saved. ”
"That's right, so the common people are laughing at the uselessness of the forbidden army and the uselessness of the patrol battalion. Even when the Dali Temple came, he didn't find any clues. Before leaving, it seemed that a monk had attained, and they all saluted the monk and greeted the monk at noon. The monk glanced at the rope that had been cut at the noon gate and said, "What is ......it?"
Lizhan tightened his heart again. The body of his father and brother was finally snatched, but the premise is not to let people see that it was King Qi who did it.
"What, say it."
"Master, don't rush, I can't remember what it is...... What, oh! It is said that the person who cut the rope uses a sword, and the swordsmanship is very good, from the Thousand Mountains Palace! ”
"Thousand Mountains Hall?"
Lizhan looked slightly.
This name is familiar and familiar, and it is strange and unfamiliar, and it is a sect of swordsmanship that has reached its peak in the rivers and lakes.
There are 3,000 people, and they are chivalrous and righteous. It's okay not to mention it on weekdays, as long as you mention it, people look like they worship it to the extreme.
Even though the Li family's mansion is deep, she has also heard of it slightly.
But if you want to say that the Thousand Mountains Hall is unfamiliar, it is indeed very unfamiliar. She has lived for so many years, and none of the people around her have ever seen the door of the Thousand Mountains Palace.
The rules of this sect are loose, and the disciples love to travel through the mountains and rivers after they have completed their studies, and their whereabouts are uncertain. It's like a cloud floating in the sky, and you can't touch it. I only heard that these people were wearing plain white gauze clothes, and they were killed in sewing disasters, so there was a possibility of sudden appearance.
Lizhan trembled in his heart, was the monk's eyes good? Is it really done by the people of the Thousand Mountains Temple? But the Thousand Mountains Hall has always been high, and it is far away from the Western Regions, how can Gu Fuwei make the people of the Thousand Mountains Palace?
Could it be ...... This is the people of the Thousand Mountains Hall who did it themselves?
"But why did the people of the Thousand Mountains Hall rob the heads of the rebels?" Miao Miao couldn't help but question.
Well, yes, she also wants to ask, the Li family has no contact with the people of the Thousand Mountains Palace, and it is definitely not because of personal friendship.
If it wasn't for Gu Fuwei's people to do it, but the Thousand Mountains Hall did it alone, wouldn't the corpse of his father and brother fall into the hands of others?
When I thought about it like this, I immediately became uneasy.
Qiao'er saw the fierce discussion between the two of them, and couldn't help but come up and interject cowardly: "The person who can rob the corpse of the rebel minister under the nose of the forbidden army is definitely not an ordinary person." Maybe it was really the people of the Thousand Hills Hall who did it. Some time ago, the slave heard the people on the street talk about it, saying that the superintendent of the Thousand Mountains Hall had come to the capital. ”
Miao Miao's expression was agitated: "Sister Qiao'er, are you talking about supervising Ling Xiao's son?" ”
"Yes, except for the first one in the Thousand Mountains Palace, this superintendent is the most famous."
