Chapter 4: A Heroine Who Keeps Her Promise Breaks into the Capital (23)

When Aunt Wang spoke again, her face was a little sneering, "In this alley, except for you who are newly moved, who doesn't know which one?" This rumor was spread a month ago, and this alley is inhabited by good people like me who are timid and afraid of things, who would dare to touch such a big thing? Everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb for a long time, but they didn't know why they suddenly called the government to know. ”

Tsubaki nodded and thought secretly, they were also related to the "anti-thief", not an accomplice to the rebellion, but also an accomplice who wanted to rescue the "anti-thief". As a result, she suddenly felt that this place was not safe, and when the Luo master and apprentice returned that night, she clamored to move.

Luo Xiyuan listened to her words, laughed at her for being worried, and agreed with Dongting that there was no need to move out.

β€”β€”The little chick only adapted to the environment, grew a meat or two out, moved to the house and inevitably folded again, a tuft of camellia only took a verdant head, and it was a pity that it could not be moved away with it!

Chunya had to guard the courtyard gate every day, and every time Aunt Wang next door talked to her, she also spoke cautiously, and often looked at Aunt Wang with that kind of inquiry. When Aunt Wang was surprised to find out, she said, "Oh, Aunt Wang, how young you look today, your Uncle Wang really loves you, anything good can be for you, Lao Tzu Niang is second, Yunyun." Aunt Wang didn't have much delicate thoughts, and she loved face, so she believed Chunya's nonsense when she came back.

……

One evening, the fire clouds on the western horizon burned brightly, and the red light was flourishing, like a flame in the sky, burning in the western sky. Tsubaki Ya leaned against the courtyard gate as usual, anxiously waiting for the return of the master and apprentice of Luoxi Garden.

In the past few days, there have been no red and white funerals in the capital, so the master and apprentice had to pretend to be a little flower to beg, and by the way, inquire about the news of the Li family.

When the figure of the master and apprentice appeared at the mouth of the alley, the girl Chunya sighed deeply.

The master and apprentice entered the house with a calm face, and Chunya saw that their faces were wrong, and poked her head at the gate of the courtyard alertly, and after finding that there was no one, she locked the courtyard door and closed the hall door of the main house.

Luo Xiyuan lay on the table with his mouth closed and silent, his eyes red like rabbits.

Tsubaki Ya asked her a few words, but when she still didn't answer, the head of the East Court, who was sitting in a daze, sighed.

Chunya pushed Dongting hard, and Dongting said with a difficult face: "Today's holy decree is given, General Li and his eldest son are given death, the rest of the sons are exiled to Ningguta, Mrs. Li and the young ladies are sent to Xinzhiku as slaves, and the ancestors of General Li in the Li clan have migrated to Yili ...... for three generations."

Tsubaki Ya opened her mouth in shock, and didn't say a word for a long time, only shed tears in a daze.

Dongting glanced at the master lying on the table, and continued: "The sentence is for embezzlement of military salaries and disrespect to the servants, let's listen to the private discussions of the subordinates of the major marquis mansions, saying that the charges against Li Jia'an this time do not correspond to the criminal responsibility...... Li Sigongzi fled, and the saint only said that he would be arrested after the ceremony, but he did not name who would lead the errand. ”

Chunya wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and said to Luo Xiyuan strongly: "Childe, the matter has come to this, you have done your best for the Li family, and you can't do more." The punishment of the Son of Heaven himself cannot be changed by anyone, so let's go back......"

Luo Xiyuan only glared at the corner of the table, his beautiful eyes flashed a trace of violence, and he patted the table for a long time and shouted, "What kind of person is General Li!" Although I have only seen him once, I am sure that he is not the person who is greedy and perverts the law and does not care about the life and death of his subordinates, and the emperor himself has no ability, he does not know people, and he mistakenly kills Zhongliang! ”

Shocked by the words, Tsubaki Ya and Dongting jumped up suddenly, Tsubaki Ya covered her mouth stiffly, and tears kept flowing. Dongting was bold, opened the door and looked out, and saw that there was no one around, the courtyard was silent, only a few chickens were pecking at the grass, and then closed the door and came in.

Luo Xiyuan opened a pair of scarlet eyes and slapped the table again in a puff.

Chunya wiped her tears while soothing Luo Xiyuan's back, and said hurriedly: "If you want to be angry, you can beat me and Dongting and scold you, why bother to scare us by saying this kind of nonsense!" ”

"Now that the decree has been issued, no one has the power to return to heaven, let's just think about running for the good...... The lady and young lady of the Li family entered the palace and were unattended, and the whereabouts of the fourth prince were unknown. ”

Tsubaki Ya paid attention to the changes in Luo Xiyuan's face, for fear that she would have some reckless thoughts.

Luo Xiyuan also listened to Tsubaki's words, and only held his chin and thought, I don't know if Brother Cefeng has gotten the news, he must be too sad, don't do stupid things......

When it was dark, the three of them ate something indiscriminately, and then came together to talk under the lamp.

Tsubaki Ya followed Luo Xiyuan's instructions and took out all the "family property" to count.

Counting the past, Luo Dongting still shook his head, far from enough to pay the fees in the palace.

The three of them couldn't help but fall into silence, and after a long time, Dongting Fang raised his head and asked timidly, "Even if the silver is enough, we don't have a way to the palace!" ”

Although the Xin Zheku is the place where the lowest servants in the palace work, it is also a forbidden place in the Great Inner Territory, and there is no acquaintance to recommend and deliver words, and there is no silver to use it.

Luo Xiyuan plucked the wick with a silver pick, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "What matters at present is that there is no one to collect the corpses of General Li's father and son, and they are exiled from the death of the death of the clan, so it is impossible for them to come forward if they make relatives and friends like Xiong Ci Lu Zhizhang and others." We can't save General Li's father and son, so we have to bury them for Brother Cefeng. As for Mrs. Li and the young ladies, let me think about it later! ”

Chunya and Dongting did not persuade again, fortunately it was not a crime of treason, after the death of General Li's father and son, they collected the corpses for burial in the name of repaying their kindness, as long as they did not go out of line, there was no big problem.

Dongting was alert, and immediately got up and said when he heard the words: "That's it, the execution will be tomorrow at noon, how can I make a coffin now, I will go all over Beijing City tonight to buy a pair of ready-to-use, Master and Sister Chunya don't have to be too sad, rest early, there are still many things to do tomorrow." ”

Tsubaki nodded, gave him some silver, and told him not to cause trouble and come back early.

After Dongting went out, Tsubaki Ya looked at Luo Xiyuan's expression, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

Just wanted to comfort him softly, but Luo Xiyuan spoke first.

"I know you're scared, don't worry, I won't get to this point. Speaking of which, Brother Cefeng and I have known each other for a short time, but he is the most kind and considerate. I always treat people with sincerity and chivalry, and when I see my brother Cefeng, I know that there is such a frank and mellow friendship in the world. ”

Luo Xiyuan's eyebrows frowned slightly, and between his slightly heroic eyebrows and eyes, he inadvertently revealed a tactful attitude.
