Chapter 160: Don't Die Well
Brother An saw Qin Xianglou on fire at a glance, and his first reaction was that Yu Ruyan was inside, and his heart was immediately heartbroken, and he rushed into the fire to save people without thinking about it, but was dragged by the coachman of the palace. γFengyun Reading Network. The coachman said, "Girl, such a big fire, if you go in, you will be sent to death!" Besides, maybe the princess has come out and is not in the building. β
The crowd around her was not allowed to enter, and several aunts who watched the excitement also persuaded her bitterly, Brother An suppressed the despair in his heart, and looked at the fire in front of him in horror, and countless chills filled his heart.
She panicked in the crowd to find the prostitutes who escaped from the fire in Qinxianglou, and asked them about the news of Yu Ruyan, those prostitutes who fled with a disgraced face and ran for their lives heard Brother An say the words 'three princesses', and immediately looked at her one by one, crying and crying: "It was your princess who lit Qinxianglou with a fire, and it is pitiful that so many of our sisters can't escape from it, and the little pension money we have worked so hard to save is gone, how can we live in the future?" β
The prostitutes' cries exploded in the crowd like thunder, and as soon as they heard that the person who set fire to the murder was actually the three princesses of the evil star who were becoming more and more popular in the eastern capital, the crowd was immediately angry, and one by one they no longer cared about the identity of the three princesses, and scolded loudly, all of them scolded Yu Ruyan for losing her conscience, the reincarnation of the evil star, and the ominous person without tears, who brought disaster to the country and the people
Brother An seemed to have fallen into a terrible nightmare, and he didn't understand why Yu Ruyan's tearless ominous ominous words would be known to everyone, and why the people of Daliang knew about it?
Also, was the fire in Qin Xianglou actually set by the princess? No way! When pigs fly!
Brother An was frightened and denied all this in front of her, but she suddenly remembered in her heart that the princess had said last time in Qin Xianglou. If Qiu's mother was unwilling to hand over the deed of sale, she would set fire to Qin Xianglou and burn the deed of sale of those girls along with the fire
The endless chill froze Brother An shivering all over his body if, if this fire was really set by the princess, then
Qinxiang Building, the first green building in the Eastern Capital, was reduced to ashes overnight, and the fire burned from the afternoon until late at night. Fortunately, at the time of the fire, Qin Xianglou had not yet opened its doors to do business, but even so, it still burned many people. Most of them are prostitutes from Qin Xianglou.
The fire finally burned out, Jing Zhaoyin also came, the officials carried out a black-scorched corpse from the fire, Brother An froze on the spot, both wanted to go forward to check the corpse, but was afraid of seeing someone she didn't want to see inside, in the end, she finally gritted her teeth and stepped forward, obviously a person who was as timid as a mouse, but she turned over a charred corpse and looked at it, crying while looking for it. I prayed to God in my heart that she would never let her see Yu Ruyan in these people.
Fortunately, God opened his eyes, and Yu Ruyan and Dongcao were not found in more than 20 corpses, Brother An breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave here and go back to the house to see if Yu Ruyan had returned, however, at this moment, the official messenger carried out a female corpse from the fire.
Brother An was about to leave, but her eyes were shocked by the thing on the wrist of the female corpse, she stared wide-eyed and dragged her steps in disbelief to the female corpse that was finally carried out, looked at the silver bracelet on the wrist of the female corpse stupidly, and finally couldn't help crying the next moment!
Although the female corpse had been burned beyond recognition, Brother An recognized the bracelet on her hand, this silver bracelet engraved with the words Fulu Suxi, which was the meeting gift given to her by Brother An when Dongcao first came to Yu Ruyan's side, or she helped her put it on herself
Dongcao died in the fire, and Jing Zhaoyin's official messenger also found a jar and a fire grate carrying fire oil by her side, and at the back door of Qin Xianglou, Jing Zhaoyin also found a carriage with several jars of fire oil piled up in the carriage, and the carriage was the royal carriage where Yu Ruyan sat out of the mansion.
The incident was exposed. The crowd was even more indignant, looking at the corpses that had been laid out for half a street, although these women were all lowly prostitutes from low backgrounds, but they were also living human lives. I don't know who took the lead, but the people of the entire Eastern Capital knelt in front of the king of Jing Zhaoyin, begging the lord to arrest the third princess who set fire to the murder and let her pay for the lives of these more than 20 people!
In fact, such a sensational case occurred overnight in the Eastern Capital, which had already alarmed the officials of all sizes in the Eastern Capital, and countless sedan chairs poured into the entire long street at once, and the wooden ministers came, standing in front of Qin Xianglou with a majestic face, looking at the corpses all over the ground, and said bitterly to Lord Wang, who bowed down to obey the orders: "Lang Lang Qiankun, such a tragic and inhumane thing happened at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the parents who suffered from the body, although they are prostitutes, they are also raised by their fathers and mothers, this practice is really chilling, I hope that you Jing Zhaoyin can selflessly return justice to these people who died in vain, and also give us a peace! β
Mu Xiang's last sentence was quite meaningful, and when the people heard it, they couldn't help but shout, asking the court to kill the three princesses and protect the peace of the Liang country.
Mu Ziyang on the side listened, his eyes were almost inaudible, and he took Mu Xiang's words and said to Lord Wang who was embarrassed with a serious and sincere face: "Lord Wang, last month, this third princess once led a lot of trouble in Qin Xianglou, not only lynching the proprietress in the building, Mother Qiu, but also coercing her to hand over the girls' deeds of sale, threatening that if she didn't hand it over, she would directly burn down Qin Xianglou, this sentence was heard by many people at that time, including His Royal Highness." If Lord Wang is in need, he doesn't mind appearing in court as a witness to help Jing Zhaoyin testify against the rampant three princesses. β
This statement confirmed the evidence of Yu Ruyan's arson, and the Lord Wang, who was still afraid of Mu Lingzhi, heard that there was a Mu Gongzi and the eldest prince coming forward as evidence, and the worries in his heart were completely dispelled.
It is often said that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Therefore, although Lord Wang was embarrassed, he still sued Yu Ruyan's crime to the Criminal Department in a written letter, and then the Criminal Department played it in front of King Liang in the morning of tomorrow.
And in an inconspicuous place on the corner of the street, a beautiful and luxurious carriage is parked. In the carriage, Yu Mingzhu was half-lying in Mu Yunzhi's arms with a shy face, her tone was sad, but she was smug in her description.
"Your Highness, although she is my sister, but now she has done such a thing that has lost her conscience, killing dozens of people at once. What's more, there is His Royal Highness's beloved Miss Mo Ling'er inside, which is really distressing, even my sister can't help her speak. β
Although Mu Yunzhi was surprised how she knew that she was raising Mo Ling'er in Qin Xianglou, but now this is not the point, thinking that Mo Ling'er died in this fire, he must be very angry in his heart, and he can't wait to kill Yu Ruyan to relieve his hatred!
The anger on his face appeared, and he said hatefully: "This time she made such a big fuss, and she had so many lives on her hands, and she is still an ominous person who affects my national fortune of Daliang, I see how can that wise and brave Mu Lingzhi protect her this time!" β
Jade Mingzhu lay in his arms and did not say anything more. But where Mu Yunzhi couldn't see it, the corners of his lips were proudly hooked, and the vicious color in his glass-like eyes was clear at a glance
At this moment, a little maid gently stepped forward and said through the sedan curtain: "Niangniang, the eldest lady of the Mu family is invited!" β
It turned out that Mu Ziyue was also here, Yu Mingzhu thought about it, too, such a big thing happened in Dongdu, and such a sensational thing was planned by the two of them, how could she bear not to come out and see it in person!
Yu Mingzhu got up delicately and put her mouth on Mu Yunzhi's lips, and the lilac tongue reached into his mouth and entangled with his tongue, but a few strokes of effort had successfully ignited Mu Yunzhi's desire, but just when he was intoxicated, Yu Mingzhu left him abruptly, and was about to go out as soon as he lifted the curtain. Mu Yunzhi, who was horny, was willing to let her go, and he grabbed her waist and was about to press her under him, but Yu Mingzhu pushed her away with a smile, and her hands slid all the way down without a man's collarbone like a spiritual snake, and she exhaled like an orchid in Mu Yunzhi's ear, and said evilly: "Your Highness, don't worry, when the concubine goes to see Miss Mu and comes back, she will definitely follow His Highness." Serve you well, Your Highness might as well go back to the house and rest in the concubine's room first, and the concubine will come later! β
Mu Yunzhi thought that there were people waiting outside, so he had to let go of her helplessly, and said reluctantly: "Go and go back quickly, this palace is waiting for you to come back!" β
The little maid led Yu Mingzhu into another carriage, and Mu Ziyue, who was sitting in it with a quiet and satisfied face, saw her come in, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to go over to see Niangniang in person, but seeing that His Royal Highness is also there, it is not good to disturb the two of you." I have to ask my mother to come over! β
"The county lord is very scheming, and the current situation is really happier than killing that slut with a knife." Yu Mingzhu looked at Mu Ziyue with a slushful gaze, and sneered: "It's just that in this way, if she doesn't die for a day, then the Third Highness won't marry you for a day, I thought that the county lord was looking forward to her death more than me!" β
Mu Ziyue began to revert to her previous description of the first beauty of Daliang, not only in appearance and manners, but also as gentle and elegant as before, her fingers gathered into a delicate appearance like magnolia flowers, gently picked up the delicate snack in front of her and put it in her mouth, chewed it carefully, half-furrowed her eyebrows, and said in a flat and slow tone: "Now in my heart, I only wish that those who have hurt me will not die well---- no one will die!" β
Her tone was unusually flat, as if she was saying the most contemptuous words in the world, but the chill that could not be concealed by her deep body made people feel cold.
Yu Mingzhu smiled with satisfaction, and said coquettishly: "The people who hurt you in the mouth of the county lord can include the Third Highness?!" β
"What do you say?" Mu Ziyue smiled very lightly, "When all love is transformed into hate, in this world, there is nothing that I Mu Ziyue can't do!" β
Yu Mingzhu's expression was clear, and she said with a smile: "It is true that once this woman hates and is ruthless, she is better than the most poisonous poison in the world." And the county lord meant to let him taste the pain of the person who he valued and cared about the most died in front of him, but he couldn't do anything about it? β
"Those who know me are also mothers." Mu Ziyue smiled indifferently, "Now that my master has successfully obtained the blood of that slut, as long as you heal the queen, our plan will be even smoother, that slut will be against the evil star ominous, as well as the crime of murderer, if you let the queen mother know that this slut is hooking up with her two sons at the same time, I don't know how to die in the end to solve the hatred in the heart of the emperor and queen." β
The two looked at each other and smiled. The expressions are extremely happy and proud
found Dongcao's corpse in the fire, Brother An cried so much that his heart was broken, and at the same time, his heart was already broken, I don't know if Yu Ruyan was also killed?
She was crazy to find Yu Ruyan around, but she couldn't find any trace of Yu Ruyan, and she ran back to the palace and didn't see her figure, Brother An was impatient, desperate, she had to run to the palace gate to ask to see Mu Lingzhi.
But the Forbidden Garden of the Deep Palace was what she wanted to enter, and Brother An was so anxious that he said all the good things. She also took out the token of the palace and showed it to the guard, who agreed to help her go in and pass it on.
After waiting for a long time, I saw Mu Lingzhi hurrying with the copper coin, as soon as he saw him, Brother An's tears couldn't be stopped, and he trembled to tell what happened, and before she finished the last sentence, Mu Lingzhi's face was already pale, and he was about to speak, when a shadow flew to his side, it was the secret guard beside him.
Mu Lingzhi's whole body was in great panic and anger, and he asked the secret guard sharply, "What happened?" What about the princess? β
The cold sweat on the secret guard's whole body kept breaking out, and he said in a trembling voice: "The subordinates are incompetent and have not protected the princess well. The five brothers who followed the princess out of the house died in the Honghe River in the suburbs, and they were all poisoned and thrown into the river. But the princess is already locked up in Jing Zhaoyin's prison, and her subordinates find out too late."
Hearing this, Mu Lingzhi's whole body was cold, the endless chill in his heart, his deep eyes were blood-red, and he turned on his horse and drove towards Jing Zhaoyin
Tong Qian wanted to chase Mu Lingzhi, but when he turned around, he was about to ask the secret guard to send Brother An back, but Brother An grabbed his clothes and pleaded, "Take me." I want to see with my own eyes that the princess is fine."
No, Tong Qian just carried her to the back of the horse and chased after Mu Ling with her.
Jing Zhaoyin's prison, Yu Ruyan was imprisoned in a daze, she stood in a damp and messy cell, as if she was having a terrible and weird nightmare, not understanding what was going on?
After the incident with Qin Xianglou last time, Yu Ruyan did not directly break into Qin Xianglou this time and ask Qiu's mother to ask for someone, but wrote a post for Dongcao to send to Qinxianglou and ask Qiu's mother to come out for an interview.
Before she left the house, she prepared a silver ticket to redeem the girl's body, and she believed in a mercenary businessman like Qiu's mother. As long as she gives her a higher price, she should be able to redeem the girl, as for the other girls, she believes that with the confession of Liu Mazi that she asked the secret guard to secretly take out from Jing Zhaoyin, Qiu's mother will definitely be timid, she will give her another sum of money, let her let go of the girls who forcibly bought the building, I believe she has to agree.
But Dongcao took her post and went out for a long time, and I didn't see her bring that Qiu's mother back, and later
Later, she remembered very well that when she was waiting for Dongcao to return, a servant woman in the inn came in to bring her tea, and after passing by her, she felt a numbness in the back of her neck, and she lost consciousness
When she woke up again, Jing Zhaoyin's official messenger had already rushed into her room and detained her without saying a word, and she was stunned and asked what had happened to the official messenger, who told her that she had set fire to Qin Xianglou and burned twenty-seven prostitutes to death
A stumble. Yu Ruyan almost fell to the ground----
It must be a dream!
At that time, Yu Ruyan's first reaction was that she was still dreaming!
But when she was taken out of the inn, she was shocked to realize that it was late at night outside.
The long street was full of people, it was obviously late at night, but the people of the entire Eastern Capital didn't seem to rest, everyone had torches in their hands, and when they saw her come out, they were overwhelmed with insults and curses, and countless hands pointed at her, and everyone was saying, look. This is the evil star who brought disaster to the country and the people, the ominous person who was born without tears, the broom star who wanted to affect the fortunes of the Great Liang country, and the murderer who set fire to more than 20 people in Qin Xianglou
Yu Ruyan's mind was blank, she walked step by step in a daze, thinking to herself, she must be dreaming, in the dream she returned to Daqi, because only the people of Daqi would scold her like this, scolding her as a tearless person and an ominous person. It's a broom star
However, why was the dream so real, she felt the coolness of the night breeze, and she smelled an unpleasant burning smell, and she even felt the spit of the angry crowd splashing on her face
Jing Zhaoyin's official escorted her through the long street, and finally came to a high-rise building that burned into ruins, Yu Ruyan looked at the ruined ruins in a daze, and then looked at the corpses that were placed half a street, smelling the disgusting smell of burning between her noses, and the panic in her heart was already hitting her heart like a storm
She couldn't take a step, and looked at everything terrible in front of her. His face turned white in the firelight, his ears were full of roars, he couldn't hear people's abuse, and his whole body looked coldly at the corpse on the ground that was burned like black coal, and he felt that his whole body had fallen into eighteen layers of hell, and he would never be able to turn over
Lord Wang of Jing Zhaoyin brought her to a female corpse, and said in an indifferent voice: "Third princess, please claim it, this is the girl who is waiting by your side?" β
Yu Ruyan also recognized the silver bracelet on the wrist of the female corpse at a glance, which belonged to Brother An, and was given to Dongcao by Brother An. In front of her, Brother An put it on for her with his own hands
The brain collapsed completely with a bang, Yu Ruyan looked at the female corpse on the ground with red eyes, her whole body shook into fallen leaves in the wind, and she said in a trembling voice: "What the hell is going on?" β
Lord Wang's voice was full of ridicule: "The lower official still wants to ask the princess what is going on!" β
Yu Ruyan didn't care about the meaning of Lord Wang's words, her hands trembled and touched the corpse of Dongcao, the terrible touch made her hair all over her body stand upside down, and finally couldn't help choking: "Dongcao, Dongcao, how could you be like this"
Thinking that the charred corpse in front of him was actually winter grass, Yu Ruyan's heart was already suffocated with pain. There was a cry in her voice, her eyes were red, her expression was sad, and she couldn't believe the name of Dongcao, but she didn't shed a single tear.
When the crowd around saw it, they immediately shouted in shock: "Look, everyone, look, she is really a tearless person, it's so scary."
The people of the entire Eastern Capital saw Yu Ruyan crying with their own eyes, and for a while there was no doubt that she was an ominous person.
Everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a man-eating monster, and they were so frightened that they took a few steps back, not daring to get closer to her.
For all this, Yu Ruyan was unaware, and her whole body was immersed in endless pain----
Dongcao is her maid, although she has not been with her for a long time, but Yu Ruyan is grateful for her loyalty and honesty, although the days of entering Yunsong Courtyard are not long, but she is always full of joy and happiness when she follows Yu Ruyan's side, jumping and jumping every day, and the relationship with Brother An is also like a sister
But I didn't expect that she was a good person when she went out of the house, a lively young girl. But in the blink of an eye, she has become a charred corpse, lying lifeless on the cold ground, how can she accept it, how can she not be sad and sad?
However, no one took pity on her sorrow, everyone just heard it, and she personally admitted that this girl with fire oil and fire on her body was her person, so it was even more certain that she was the one who set the fire.
Lord Wang personally escorted her to Jing Zhaoyin, Yu Ruyan's mind was dizzy, and Mu Ran's dull eyes seemed to see several familiar and terrifying figures, including Jade Mingzhu. There is Mu Ziyue, and there is Mu Xiang Mu Ziyang
These people's faces were so terrifying, they all smiled viciously and proudly, their eyes were vicious, and their exposed teeth were like the letters of poisonous snakes, which made her shudder
She stayed in the gloomy cell for a long time, and a prison guard brought her a bowl of water, Yu Ruyan did not drink it, but raised her hand and poured the water from her head with a 'bang', and woke herself up from the shock with a cold and piercing feeling!
However, this time the incident tightly netted her inside like a net of heaven and earth, so that she couldn't move, and even her breathing was stagnant.
Whenever she wanted to sort out her chaotic thoughts clearly, the back of her head would have a pinprick pain, she was stunned, her mind seemed to remember something, she reached out and groped the back of her head near the back of her neck, and sure enough, she touched a protruding silver needle!
There was a cold glint in her eyes, she never expected that she had carefully avoided it, and she didn't directly make trouble with Qin Xianglou like last time, but she still stepped into someone else's trap
Gritting her teeth to pull out the silver needle nailed into the back of her head, she was just about to exert force, and the pain of the plot came from her left wrist, she pulled up her long cuffs in a daze, and her pupils suddenly widened!
I don't know when, a deep cut was made on her left wrist, which was terrifying. The bloody mouth seemed to be sprinkled with some kind of medicinal powder, which stopped the bloody mouth from bleeding all the time, and made her feel no pain, until she had just pulled out the silver needle with her backhand, and pulled the bloody mouth to bleed again to cause the pain that she found out
Her brain was dizzy for a while, and she almost fell, Yu Ruyan panted and sat down on the moss-covered walls of the cell, and countless questions flashed through her mind
Once again, she felt like she had fallen into a bottomless whirlpool, and the road ahead was dark and gloomy, and she couldn't find the direction and the light
