Chapter 6: Temptation
I saw that Liang Ci and Mad Stone had something to discuss, so I consciously withdrew.
Crazy Stone stretched out his hand and pulled me: "What are you going to do?" ”
"I'm a little bored, go out for a walk."
I smiled lightly and closed the 'door' with my backhand. Hearing Crazy Stone snorting angrily, he asked, "Didn't you notice that Qing Wu has been a little sensitive lately?" Why didn't you stop her? ”
I stood still for a moment, and without waiting for a cool answer, I lightened my pace and walked out of the courtyard.
I had nowhere to go by myself, so I turned around the shadow wall and wandered aimlessly around the house. Walking into his own 'medicine' garden, it is now lush and lush, with a strange aroma and refreshing people's hearts.
I found a shady place under the tree to sit, listening to the constant noise of the gnats in my ears, and instantly I was a little upset, my blood and qi surged, and my mind was even more still. I couldn't help but think of Hui'er, Lan'er, and the days of laughter and laughter with them, and my heart became more and more lonely. Finally, I couldn't help but stand up and walked towards the outside of the house.
The guards greeted me very kindly: "Miss Eleven, is this going out?" ”
I absentmindedly smiled and nodded one by one, counting as an answer.
"Do you need a car?" A 'squire' guard asked diligently, "I'll go and inform the water commander." ”
I hurriedly shook my head: "Thanks, no need, I'll just walk around." ”
Turn right out of the 'gate' of the house and walk straight towards Chang'an Street, the most prosperous street in the capital. If I remember correctly, Qingwan should have begged on that street.
I had a doubt in my mind that I couldn't figure it out, and I needed to ask her in person. On the day of Qingyin's wedding, it was clear that her father and Qingjuan left the 'flower' hall and sent Mo Yue'er back to the palace, how could Mo Yue'er have time to get out and go to the 'flower' hall to kill Yan San? When did she get the 'medicine' in my carriage? Now that my father and seventh aunt have all returned to Jiangnan, I can only ask Qingwan about the situation.
Before he got closer, he heard a commotion at the entrance of the street, mixed with the shrill voice of Qingwan: "You little kings and eight lambs, you dare to snatch food from the mouth of the old lady, you must not die!" ”
Then there was a loud cry from the naughty boy: "Oh, oh! Oh! You have the ability to catch us! Or we can poison us with 'medicine', isn't that what you're best at? ”
Then there was Qingwan's even more unbearable scolding: "Little rabbit cubs, you wait, one day my mother and I will make a comeback, and drag you all out to feed the dogs!" ”
Someone coldly mocked her: "Crazy woman, do you think that you are still Mrs. Hou, and you are showing off your power here with us." The down-and-out phoenix is not as good as a 'chicken', not to mention that you are now just a street rat! ”
"Let's go, let's go, come back tomorrow, and cure this crazy woman." Someone greeted: "If we get angry with her, where will we find good food every day." ”
The crowd dispersed, and a few little people called 'flowers' talked and laughed, and passed by me proudly.
I silently looked at the still chattering, scolding the young man, unkempt, covered in mud, and his clothes hung on his body one by one, embarrassed. Where is this still the plump and round, high-spirited Mrs. Hou I know?
When she saw that the crowd had dispersed, she closed her eyes, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes, still muttering and cursing in her mouth, and from time to time stretched out her half-crippled hand, grabbed her body, and clumsily opened the collar of her dress in full view of everyone on the street, and put it in her mouth, biting it with a loud noise.
I walked slowly over and stood in front of her, only to see that her lower body had a festering wound, and yellow and green 'colored' pus was leaking, and a few green-headed flies were circling around her.
"Didn't your father take care of you before he left? How did it come to this? I finally couldn't help but ask.
Qingwan heard my voice, suddenly opened her eyes, and looked at me coldly: "Come and see my joke, right?" Let's see how those little 'flowers' snatch food out of my mouth, and ask knowingly. ”
After speaking, he picked up a piece of dim sum residue from the placket, threw it into his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
That dim sum turned out to be the osmanthus 'flower' cake of HSBC Zhai. I understood, I think it's the habit of eating 'jade' in Qingjuan brocade, I can't swallow the leftovers I begged for, and I embarrassed the Su guy, and the snacks sent to her every day were too 'fine', which attracted the attention of other people called 'flowers', stared at her, and came here every day to snatch her snacks.
"Why aren't your injuries healed yet?" After all, I couldn't bear it, and squatted down: "Let me see." ”
"Don't pretend here, if you are really kind, what should you do earlier. If you simply confess your sin, there will be nothing left, and you will not be a drag on my father and me. The wounds on my body, and my today, are all thanks to you! Now, you eat fragrant food and drink spicy food, and let myself suffer in the wind and rain here, your conscience is disturbed, isn't it? ”
I sneered, I didn't expect Qingwan to put all the blame on us so confidently, but this really got the true biography of Aunt Seven: "You yourself are so bold that you almost affected the entire Su family, and now, you are still so unrepentant." It seems that I have come to the wrong place. ”
I turned around and 'wanted' to leave, but Qingwan suddenly pounced forward, pressed the corner of my skirt, and asked in a low voice, "All this was arranged by Lord Qi, wasn't it?" ”
I paused in my footsteps and didn't look back: "I don't understand what you're talking about?" ”
"Hehe, scared? First, I asked the jailer to give me a confession, and then arranged for the so-called doctor to propose an open coffin for an autopsy in the lobby, and the truth could be revealed. Everything seemed to be arranged in advance. I clearly remember that Shizi died of poisoning after eating the sixth poison 'medicine' I boiled, how could he test the result of a normal death? Thinking about Man Chang'an, except for him Qi Wangye, I am afraid that no one can reach the sky like this.
Su Qingwen, Lord Qi, he has the ability to protect the entire Su family, so he should have the ability to protect me. He did it on purpose, deliberately to put me to death. ”
"Su Qingxuan!" I turned around hatefully and glared at her angrily: "Let's not care if this person is the Qi prince for the time being, just by saving the lives of dozens of people in my Su family and saving your 'life', you should be grateful to Dade, instead of suspicion and complaining!" Give an inch and take a mile! ”
Qingwan raised her eyes and squinted at me: "What's in a hurry, what's in a hurry, I can't hold my breath like this." If I had been such a conscienceless person, when someone gave me gold the day before yesterday, I would have confessed it all. You see, for my sake, you have to thank me for my sake, right? ”
"Give you gold?" I asked, "Who?" Now that the case is closed, how can anyone still be interested in this case? Do you have to put our Su family to death? ”
Qingwan nodded: "He thinks I'm really stupid, a little gold can buy my life?" Am I the kind of person who has never seen the world? If this word spreads, I will have the life to take this gold, and I am afraid that it will not be 'flowered'!
Su Qingwen, I hate you, I don't like you from the first time I saw you, you don't know how much I want to pull you into the water and accompany me to taste the taste of being bullied. But you're lucky, even if I'm muddy, I can't joke with my aunt's and Qingyin's lives. I've hurt Qingyin all my life, and I can't let her pay for my 'life' for me anymore. So I confessed to the crime. Others wanted to 'lure' me, but I also refused, and let you pick up a big bargain.
Count it out, this is also what you Su Qingwen owes me, go back and tell the prince of Qi, let her help me plead in front of the queen mother, just save me from this begging errand. ”
I leaned down and stared at Qingwan's eyes: "Su Qingwan, I'm not the Qi Prince, and I can't agree to your requests, I think, you should go and ask Qingqing, haven't you always had a good relationship?" She is now very appreciated by the Queen Mother, and she is a first-class celebrity in front of the Queen Mother.
You have always been very good to Qingqing, when she lived in the Hou Ye's Mansion, you took care of her, and it was you who sponsored her to enter the palace, so she is so prosperous today. Qingqing also attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and even Qingyin's wedding, the special "door" sent the former grandmother to congratulate her. If you beg her, she will definitely help you. ”
Qingwan let go of the hand holding the hem of my skirt and pouted: "Don't talk about seeing Qingqing now, even the grandmother in front of her has put up a shelf when she leaves the Hou Ye's Mansion, who can still ask for it." ”
"Hehe, you're kidding, right? Qingqing can not give face to anyone, but you must be grateful to Dade. ”
"Cut, thanksgiving?! On the day of Qingyin's wedding, my father and I left Yan Sanzhuan 'door' to send the grandmother, who knows, people sat directly in the sedan car, their faces were not 'exposed', only pinched their throats to give us a sentence: The master is inseparable from no one to serve, you don't have to send it. is a posture, and when he followed the Hou Ye's Mansion, it was not a tone at all, and the dog fought the human power! ”
"Do you mean that when you went to send the palace grandmother back to the palace, you didn't actually see her at all, and only heard her answer in the carriage?" I asked.
Qingwan saw that my face was 'agitated', and looked at me a little inexplicably: "Yes, if it wasn't for the sake of coming out to send her, I wouldn't have come out of Yan San's file, I am still sitting in the Hou Ye's mansion shouting five and six, and I am at ease." ”
"Even if Yan San doesn't die, you may not still be in the Hou Ye's Mansion now," I pondered for a while, and then said tentatively: "Lan'er confessed in person above the lobby, Yan San had to make an inch that day, and he insulted his father a lot, and repeatedly made more excessive demands, which was unbearable." If his father didn't follow him, now Yan San personally accused, it might be a worse result. ”
"Nonsense! This! Qingwan said indignantly: "Yan San was a little excessive at the time, but he also knows the current affairs and knows the truth of accepting it when he sees it." I asked my father, Yan San did talk to him in the 'flower' hall about the murder of the son at the beginning, and my father advised him that if this matter really spread, even if it was a fluke Dali Temple forgave his sins, with the old lady's temper, he would never allow him, an accomplice, to live in the world. Since the big mistake has been made, everyone is in the same boat through thick and thin, so don't embarrass each other. Yan San also said that he was just joking, and he would treat Qingyin well in the future. ”
