Chapter 11: The Burning of the Assassin's Mansion
A group of people buzzed around Yuan Ben, and Yuan Yingxin quietly retreated.
Seeing that Xiao Yang was about to come to the city, he became a turtle in the urn, once the city of Jiyang was broken, how should he deal with himself? She remembered the slaughtered corpses she had seen before, and she shuddered.
No, she had to come up with a way to just die.
Died in the years before the last.
Is there anyone who is born again and dies earlier than in his previous life?
…………
The people in the Assassin's Mansion were panicked, but Shen Qiutan was immersed in his dreams.
The man who was bathed in golden light, her father appeared again, and this time, there was a gentle and demure woman, who was her own mother, Chen.
The dream made her go back to when she was four years old, and Shen Yanfeng at that time was lacking in the outside, and the place was remote and poor, but the husband and wife were very happy, and the Shen family in Beijing was even more breathless.
At that time, Shen Qiutan was four years old and almost five years old, at this age, other children would have said that they could laugh, but except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, she was in a daze all the rest of the time, she was really empty to the point that she had no consciousness and soul, even if she ate and wore it, she only relied on instinct.
But that's it, Shen Yanfeng still spoils her only daughter, and taking care of Shen Qiutan's food, clothing, housing and transportation is all done by the Chen family.
Shen Qiutan felt all this, her eyes were slightly astringent, could she really become this Shen Qiutan? Why didn't she arrive sooner? Let them see that they are not stupid?
The horn of the siege sounded, the drum sounded like thunder, Shen Qiutan opened his eyes, and his round cat's eyes were full of determination.
Since she is Shen Yanfeng's child in this life, she has to do something.
There was a panic in the Assassin's Mansion, just like when Yuan Ben led his troops to attack Jiyang City.
The orange kitten took advantage of everyone's inattention, and touched the place where she had never had the opportunity to set foot before, which was the account room of the former Taishou Mansion, and she saw a maid sneaking in just now.
The lock on the door had been opened, Shen Qiutan looked quietly, and saw that the servant girl was hurriedly rummaging for something, the sound of the battle between soldiers and fire at the head of the city came intermittently, and the handmaid's forehead was already sweating, but her hands were trembling.
I don't know if I'm scared or anxious.
Shen Qiutan recognized this maidservant, she was Yuan Yingxin's personal maidservant, the Chunmei who wanted to snatch her own dried fish.
"What is the boxy thing that the big girl is looking for?" Chunmei's breathing became more and more rapid, and Shen Qiutan could easily read what was in her heart.
With a snap, Chunmei didn't know what she had encountered in a panic, and a dark grid opened.
She tiptoed to take out a small cabinet from the somewhat high compartment, Xu was very trusting of the compartment, the small cabinet was not locked, and there was a large envelope inside, the seal was well sealed with wax and oil. She remembered the eldest girl's confession, and tore open the wax seal: "It turned out to be two booklets, one is the original entry and exit records of the Thorn History Mansion and the storage records of the entire Jibei Prefecture, and the other is ...... This is "Chen's Fragrance Spectrum"! ”
Chen, is it the Guangling Chen who is famous for making incense?
Chunmei's heart became excited: "This is also boxy, whether it is what the eldest girl is looking for or not, but with this incense book alone, the eldest girl will definitely reward herself!" Although the Guangling Chen family is not as good as the family with the five surnames and seven wangs, it has a unique reputation in incense making. The big girl loves to make fragrances......"
Shen Qiutan was also excited in his heart, he couldn't see it, Chunmei was literate, no wonder he couldn't get used to seeing cats eat better than people.
Chunmei's heart was hot, and she was about to take the incense book to receive the reward, but she didn't care much about the account book.
Meow!
At this moment, a cat suddenly jumped out, and its sharp claws scratched at Chunmei's eyes, Chunmei was startled and hurriedly dodged, but although she avoided her eyes, there was a clear pain in her cheeks and neck.
"Ahh Ahhh......h
The orange kitten opened its mouth wide and picked up two booklets, and quickly disappeared into the night.
She had heard the voices of Yuan Ben and Yuan Yingxin, and knew that this account book might not be what they were looking for, but this account book recorded the entry and exit of the Thorn Mansion, and it was clearly understood that her father was not corrupt, let alone holding the golden house and not releasing grain, with this account book, she could wash away the notoriety that her father was carrying. Yuan Ben is happy because her father is notorious, but since she is a human daughter, how can she watch others break the dirty water for her father.
The orange kitten galloped to a corner, made sure that there was no one on the left and right, and then buried the account book and incense recipe under an old tree that had been stripped of its skin. Then he ran again.
The shouting and killing sound from the city, in the eyes of Yuan Ben's father and daughter, was tantamount to the sound of asking for life, but in Shen Qiutan's ears, it was simply the most pleasant Huazhang.
She ran faster and faster, trembling with excitement. Yuan Ben was born in the military, and he did have some experience in marching and fighting, so after he occupied Jiyang City, he learned the previous lesson, and all the materials and equipment were not stored separately, but directly filled into the warehouse of the original Thorn Shi Mansion and placed them under his own nose.
Now that the war has begun, half of the war supplies have been transported to the city early, but Curry still has half left.
That was Yuan Ben's supply.
Shen Qiutan has become a cat, and she has more mind-reading skills, and her strength has not disappeared, at this moment, she has two ropes in her mouth, tied to fire oil.
I don't know who provided Yuan Ben with food and materials, fire oil, saltpeter, everything, now it's just convenient for himself!
The kitten's eyes are bright, very energetic, this is what she has planned a long time ago, and the fire tools have been prepared properly, if she hadn't discovered Chunmei's sneakiness before, she should have set the thorn on fire a long time ago.
But it's not too late.
What can a cat do?
As long as she feels that she is still a human being, she can do what a human being can do.
The warehouse containing war materials must be guarded, so Shen Qiutan lit Yuan Fatzi's study first.
"It's out of the water! Walk the water! Although Yuan Fatzi doesn't read, but the study has always been an important part of his deliberations, is his face, at this time the study somehow caught fire, and someone pulled the soldiers guarding the warehouse to put out the fire, the two soldiers were very hesitant, but think about the study is not far from here, the study was burned, they will also be blamed, hesitated or picked up the bucket, followed.
The orange kitten repeated his old tricks, rushed into the warehouse, happily poured fire on it, and soon the whole warehouse was on fire.
But that's not all.
The people who went to the study to put out the fire and the rest of the people in the mansion soon found out that something was wrong, not only the study, but even the big girl's small courtyard was filled with the smell of fire oil, so it seems that someone must have deliberately set the fire, but the arsonist has not been found, and then the entire Thorn Mansion was set on fire.
At this time, what is the eldest girl of the Yuan family doing who burned down the house?
She has already changed her disguise, and she went out of the Assassin's Mansion earlier.
I'm sorry, Daddy, even if I live again, the only one I can save is myself.
The fire behind him was burning more and more, and Yuan Yingxin turned back sharply, and saw that the entire Thorn Mansion had turned into a sea of fire.
Panic, pain, and the happiness of the rest of her life flashed in her eyes, this Xiao Yang is really powerful, he actually bought the people in the house so quickly, and came out to meet the inside.
Thankfully, she didn't stay in the house.
Her face was lucky, and so was Wang Chunshan, who followed her.
The good birds chose trees to perch on, and soaked in Yuan's mansion for many days, and Chunshan found that following this Yuan girl was much brighter than following Yuan Ben.
Under the raging fire, the Jiyang City Thorn History Mansion, which was used as an official office by the Assassin History of the past dynasties, gradually turned into ashes, and buried together with the secrets that might be turned up.
