Chapter 001: The coffin blocked the door
At the end of the twenty-second year of Yongtai, the capital of Dachu.
The stars are gradually falling, the dawn is broken, and the dots are broken under the eaves, and the roots of the ice are folded into bright colors.
At this moment, a shout pierced the sky, and a buzzing whistle sounded among the startled white doves.
"Your Highness is not good!" Shuangxi slammed the door, his voice was shrill and piercing, "Our house, the door of the house is surrounded!" β
Zhao Chen sat up suddenly, first straightened his chest, and then asked in his throat while getting dressed, "Who?" Is it the grandson of the old Xie family? Early in the morning to find bad luck! I'm going to have to beat him up again today!" β
"Oops! Check it out! β
When she came to the door of the mansion in full dress, she finally understood why Shuangxi was bitter and hateful.
The dignified Prince Wu's mansion was actually blocked by a black coffin!
Mourning white flags, the north wind passed the paper money swirling and flying, outside the door in addition to a group of people wearing filial piety, but also surrounded to watch the lively, they just stepped out of the door, there was a deafening drum sound.
Looking at the other party's posture, Zhao Chen suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and asked with a forced smile: "Class Master Zhang, you... Where are you singing? β
Zhang glanced at her, knelt down facing the street, and the drumming stopped suddenly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what I have respected in Guangheyuan for more than 100 years is that the drama is as big as worshiping God, and the parents are the officials! Although we eat this bowl of rice is not expensive, we also know that we sing honestly and are innocent. β
As he spoke, he kowtowed, and Mu Ran straightened up and pointed to the coffin.
"Today, our whole class is wearing filial piety, and we are here in a thin coffin, just to seek justice!"
After he finished speaking, he knocked again.
The surrounding boiling voices gradually rose, and most of them were incomprehensible inquiries.
Zhao Chen's eyelids jumped, stopped the guards who were about to make a move, and asked, "What happened?" β
Cui'er, the pillar of Guanghe Garden, killed herself last night.
A hemp rope hanged in the main hall, and the last pen said that it was unbearable to be coerced by Prince Wu Zhao Chen, and he was unwilling to commit himself to being the other party's confiner, so he had to die.
Zhang Banzhu lay in the coffin and cried, grieving uncontrollably.
Not to mention that he has always regarded Cui'er as his own, just the fall of this pillar and the plummeting that Guangheyuan will face are enough for him to be sad.
With so many mouths, how can he feed him!
Listening to the discussion around her, Zhao Chen frowned secretly, and the next moment, she rushed to the coffin, and without waiting for the rest of the people to react, an earth-shattering cry rang out.
"Cui'er! Oh my Cui'erββ! She thumped her chest, "Why are you willing to leave me?" β
Zhang was stunned and looked at Zhao Chen, who was crying in front of him.
"You pay back my Cui'er! How can this good person say that he is gone? She said hoarsely, "Say okay to spend the rest of your life together!" Say yes and grow old together! MyβCui'er! β
The onlookers looked at each other, who is settling accounts with whom?
She fell into tears in her coffin: "Don't worry, I, Zhao Chen, swear, I will not marry you in this life!" β
Zhang's eyes were full of disbelief, and he was speechless for a long time.
"You're dying! You're still slandering him! A woman ran out of the troupe, pointed at Zhao Chen and scolded angrily: "My senior brother is a man who stands up to the sky!" How can there be any mess with you?! β
Division... Elder brother? Cui'er... Is it a man? Suddenly there was a cry of surprise in the crowd.
Ignoring the obstruction of her companions, the woman cried out angrily: "Senior brother doesn't want to be humiliated before he kills himself!" You killed him! You disgusting broken sleeve! Even if we sue Your Majesty, we will also seek justice for our senior brother! β
There was a moment of blankness in Zhao Chen's mind, looking back, pink and tender Luo skirt...
Cui'er is actually a man?
At this time, a cold voice suddenly came from not far away: "I didn't expect the prince to be so reckless about human life." β
Zhao Chen raised his head and followed the prestige.
A glance is only stunning, it is a simple appreciation of beauty.
The man was no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a long black coat, with green silk and half-scattered, and his eyes were like foxes and phoenixesβ
It's so beautiful that it almost blurs his gender.
Not to mention that Zhao Chen herself is a girl in her prime, thinking that she is also a man, she can't help but be amazed.
It's a pity that this beauty is obviously here to trouble her!
The man looked back at her coldly: "Do you think it's just a play, and you should be killed and taken away?" Or do you think that as long as you are in power, you can do whatever you want and do whatever you want? β
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd was angry, and the passers-by who were originally just watching the excitement were all glaring at Zhao Chen at this moment.
At the bottom of this world, who doesn't have a little grievance in their hearts? Who hasn't encountered bullying?
He Yingying stepped forward a few steps forward to help Zhang Ban Master, and his voice was light but clearly audible: "Now I just want to ask, when did Tianli actually kneel down like this and beg?" β
When Zhang Banzhu heard this, he was full of tears, and his white filial piety fluttered in the wind, which made people feel sad.
"Is there really nowhere in this world to cry out for injustice? Or is the heart of justice lost? The man's eyes were dark and his lips were sarcastic, "Or is it so common that people are used to it?" β
The words of punishment were like a sharp blade, cutting Zhao Chen into pieces.
She helped the coffin to stand up, her face was so black that she couldn't make out her expression, and she subconsciously took a few steps back as she looked at the people around her who were instigated with righteous indignation and eager to peel her skin and bones.
The guards quickly surrounded her and protected her tightly.
Suddenly, a bundle of vegetables flew out of the crowd and smashed on Shuangxi impartially, as if the curtain had been opened-
One, two, too many to count... In front of the majestic prince's palace, it suddenly turned into a vegetable market.
The guards were staggered by the angry people, and were about to draw their knives to resist, but they were stopped by Zhao Chen, so they had to block their heads and try to escort Zhao Chen into the mansion first.
In the chaos, the man who had spoken generously earlier retreated into the distance alone.
He first looked at Zhao Chen silently.
Then he looked away at the plaque on the door of the mansion, his eyes were full of incomprehensible and deep meanings, and it was not until finally that he landed at the officers and soldiers who were belatedly arriving in the distance-
The crimson thin lips can't help but lightly outline the curvature.
Zhao Chen, who was caught in the riot, raised his throat and shouted loudly after seeing the officers and soldiers: "Don't worry, everyone! This king still has Shuntianfu in this matter, and he will definitely give an explanation! β
Seeing this scene and hearing this, Shuntianfu Yin, who hurriedly led the troops, stumbled and almost fell into the snow.
"Stop it all for the officialββ!"
The officers and soldiers went into battle, and the riot was suppressed, but the angry scolding not only did not stop, but became even more unpleasant.
Fu Yin Jiang Hetong lowered his face and shouted: "Escort all the troublemakers back to the government for strict interrogation!" β
The drive was driven away, the arrest was caught, the troupe was taken away by the officers and soldiers, and the coffin was also carried away.
And the good-looking man who added fuel to the fire was also escorted away.
Zhao Chen looked at the mess in front of the mansion and was distracted for a long time.
"You're making a big fuss this time!" Jiang Hetong frowned sadly, "It's okay to fight and fight in the past, why did you kill people this time?" Such a riot, but it will go straight to heaven! β
He sat down on the steps in a dejected manner, took off his official hat and said in a mournful voice: "I'm afraid that the lower official will come to an end..."
"Don't worry, this king won't affect you in this matter." Zhao Chen sat beside him, chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "Tomorrow, you will push this king in the court, and I guarantee that the group of imperial historians will help you get rid of your crimes!" β
Jiang He thought about it for a while, and then asked, "Isn't this a stone?" β
"It's all like this, it's not bad for you to be a stone." Zhao Chen stood up on his shoulder, patted his hand again, and said with a smile: "Yes, if there is nothing else, go back, remember to interrogate the leader for this king." β
Jiang Hetong's expression was complicated, and he got up and arched his hand: "Prince Xie Wu has mercy." β
Seeing the other party leave, she beckoned to Shuangxi and ordered, "Go and invite Imperial Doctor Yu to come." β
"Huh? What did you call him for? β
Zhao Chen brushed off the vegetable leaves on his body for him, and said quietly: "That was just now, now I'm sick, I'm seriously ill!" β
