Chapter 10: Beijing City After Chen Yan's Departure [1]
Hehe has only been gone for a few days, and Qi Suniang has not moved from Chafu to Qifu. The dark tide is turbulent.
Gukou River Standard Green Camp, Cui Hao frowned and watched the officer of the military department swagger into the barracks, and rode out of the horse and headed towards the capital. Behind him, the two river markers always urged the horse to follow.
On the side of the official road leading from Tongzhou to the capital, the shadow is the shadow of the poplar forest. Two small tomb shadows flashed in the corners of Cui Hao's eyes, and he couldn't help but pull the reins, and the horse gradually slowed down.
Cui Hao turned over and dismounted, leading the horse down the official road. He stood under the poplar tree for a long time, staring at the two mounds.
The mound of the grave was already covered with a foot of grass, covering the tomb board of the grave, only to see the first lotus character and a double character.
"Thirteen years...... he muttered to himself, "Su Niang and I, and the two of you, have walked out of this poplar forest and got on the boat, and it has been thirteen years......
Cui Hao stood in front of the grave for a long time, and the two river markers on the official road waited for a long time, but still did not see him move, looked at each other, and finally a person quietly approached, and said from five steps away: "My lord, the lord of the capital urgently summons the lord ......."
Cui Hao was stunned. The general didn't dare to say any more, and retreated.
Cui Hao squatted down and gently stroked the grass and dust on the board, "You are in heaven, bless Su Niang and me, and An An will share your life......
In the city, the brothers are still racking their brains to discuss the matter of electing officials.
Brother dragged away the bench on the side of the Eight Immortals table. I sat down. grabbed a bowl of milk tea and drank a few sips. "On the East River, we only have the Shandong Gang snatching the Governor of the East River. The governor of Nanhe is the emperor's land, although it is the Jiangsu gang that has the final say. But Lian Zhenyun is still waiting. We have Changzhou and two lakes, and we can get by. The Emperor of Beihe is afraid that he will hold on to the ground-"
"If so. Why is the prince tossing like this for a while? He has an evil fire in his heart. Brother Jiu said with a smile. There are three of my people who have been found by him to make mistakes and raid their homes. There are no less than five and fourteen brothers who have been dismissed from their posts, aren't there still a few who want to be beheaded after the prison? β
In the cold snort of the fourteenth elder brother. The tenth elder brother slapped the table and scolded: "Huang Ama should only give birth to one of his sons!" It's not that he loves Xinjueluo! It's just been circled for more than half a year. I can't wait to give him all the benefits of the world and the earth! If you say you are dismissed, you will be dismissed. It's been a year since I said that I was robbing my house! Now this bastard prince dares to tear his face. Kill the people of the land clearly! provoked the ten masters to kill the first one, and he didn't let go-"
"Tenth brother!" The eighth master stood up. glanced at Brother Shi. "Dinner."
Brother Nine walked over to the table. Looking at the stupid face, Brother Ten smiled and said, "We didn't suffer a loss." Qi Qiang and Meng Jiu secretly scuttled the official ship on the section of the Cao River in Shandong. Drowned his men and made the people proud, so that they could grab the position of the governor of the East River. He must have found out now before he started to make a fire like this. β
Brother Shi's face looked better, "Yes!" Don't know the nature of the water and still want to be a river governor? He deserves it too! In the great water, it will be the first to slip to the ground! Maybe you haven't hid yet. And he hid! β
Several elder brothers immediately laughed out and laughed, eating and drinking, Qin Daoran rushed in, his face was already discolored, and he shouted in a panic: "Ninth Master! Oh no! Qi Qiang is dead! β
The sun had already risen to the middle of the sky, but the Qi Mansion in the Partial Hat Hutong was as silent as death, only the pieces of blood on the third-level bluestone steps in front of the door, shining black-red, black-red light in the sun.
Qi Su Niang fell heavily from the carriage that had not yet stopped, and she didn't feel the slightest pain.
She panicked, climbed the bluestone steps with her hands and feet, and suddenly felt that her left hand was sticky, and she raised her hand blankly to see that it was human blood on one hand!
Qi Su Niang screamed silently, violently pushed away Bi'er, who was crying to help her, and rushed into the Qi Mansion.
The endless stream of servants sent medicines back and forth, all of them were pale, and their faces were about to collapse, and the cries of Qi Qiang's inner relatives came out from the inner room behind the rosewood screen, and the sun shone on the rosewood, gradually oozing the desperate light of death.
"Bastard!" Brother Jiu's face was pale, and his teeth were gritted, "Delong, this damn minion!" Dare to betray the Lord for glory! When he was driven out of the house, he should have been punished with a meal! β
The eighth master frowned, raised his head and shouted: "Li Quan'er, hurry up and send someone to urge the imperial doctor again, at this time, you can't let Qi Qiang die!" β
The tenth elder brother and the fourteenth elder brother glanced at each other, and the fourteenth elder brother sighed, "It's so badly injured, I'm afraid it won't beβ"
A trembling cry came from inside the screen, "...... Grandma, go and ask grandma! Uncle wants to see his aunt and grandmother! β
Fushi replied crying: "Grandma, I've already gone to ask for itβ"
Qi Qiang's face was already flushed with ashes, but the sound of breathing was getting louder and louder like a pulled bellows, echoing in the room, but the air leakage was getting more and more.
Shen Yuezhi held one of his hands tightly, looked at Qi Qiang's unwilling face and his eyes widened wider and wider, and cried desperately in his ear, "Grandma is still on the way, grandma is still on the way-"
An Sheng staggered into the bedroom, "Uncle! Uncle! Grandma is here! Grandma and Auntie are coming soon! β
Qi Su Niang crawled to Qi Qiang's bed, her eyes were full of blood and the black iron dagger handle on her lower abdomen, she desperately resisted the screams that were about to burst out, touched Qi Qiang's cold face with her trembling hands, and trembled close to his ear: "Brother, Su Niang - it's Su Niang who is here-"
Qi Qiang couldn't move for a long time, he stared at the top of the tent, desperately opening his mouth, as if he was using all his strength to suck in his last breath, "Sister...... Girl ......"
"It's me, it's Su Niang, brother-" Qi Su Niang half crawled onto the bed, next to Qi Qiang's still bleeding body, holding Qi Qiang's face, forehead to forehead, eye to eye and said softly: "Brother, what do you want to say to Su Niang-"
The half-congealed blood on Qi Qiang's face was washed away by Qi Su Niang's tears, he seemed to recognize Qi Su Niang, and the huge breathing sound suddenly fell, "...... You...... Your sister-in-law...... They ......"
Brother rest assured, with Su Niang here, no one can bully my sister-in-law. Qi Su whispered softly in > ear, "The child in Caiyun's belly is pregnant for ten years and five years, and his surname is Qi ......."
The sound of hissing breathing suddenly fell, half of the light in Qi Qiang's eyes was extinguished, there was crying inside and outside the house, and the only remaining glimmer in Qi Qiang's eyes was on Qi Su Niang's face, "...... Called the actor...... Resignation...... Go homeβ"
The sound of broken breathing stopped abruptly, and the Qi Mansion cried loudly. Shen Yuezhi and Yuekou'er were carried away by the girls, and Qi Su Niang stared at Qi Qiang's dead eyes for a long time.
The sunshine gradually sinking in the west stretched the shadow of the rosewood screen on Qi Qiang's body. Somehow, Qi Su Niang suddenly felt that there was still some warmth on Qi Qiang's forehead, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and called: "Brother-"
Qi Qiang didn't react at all, but she understood that it was just her own forehead heat......
The eighth elder brother walked into the Qi Dahua Hall and said with an impatient face: "Old ten, you go back to the house first." Turning his head to look at Brother Jiu, "Immediately ask Qin Daoran to clear the account in the tooth shop, since the prince is Qi Qiang, he must want to use the financial resources of this place." β
Brother Jiu gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Delong damn it!" "Beckoned to Qin Daoran," Ask the capital Qi Ji Tooth Store to clear the account and ask the twenty-one tooth shops in Jiangnan to hand over the account, and the silver money above 3,000 taels is not allowed to move without your seal. β
"Ninth Master, the teeth of the capital can be controlled. However, when the 21st Yaxing in Jiangnan was established, the banner bearers could not do business, and it was a private property recorded in Qi Qiang's name. On weekdays, a large amount of silver and goods were transferred, stewards were arranged, and accounts were collected with Qi Qiang's private seal. Although the minions have been collecting, only half of the shopkeeper slaves at the bottom can be moved, and the rest are afraid that they will be chaotic......"
The Ninth Master frowned and said, "Who is Qi Qiang's private in his hands?" Call the henchmen of his house.
β
Dao Ran glanced at the fourteenth elder brother sitting on the side, "This thing is too important, if Qi Qiang doesn't put it close to him, he will only give it to his sister-"
Ye was taken aback, "If he is close to him, now-"
Hachi shook his head, "It must be for his sister." β
Qin Daoran hurriedly said: "The slave also thinks the same way, Qi Qiang entrusted his tooth to his sister-in-law, and he must have given her the private seal." Although Qi Qiang's sister is out of charge, Qi Qiang has been busy with Shandong's affairs this time, and he has no time to take care of his teeth......"
The ninth elder brother looked at the fourteenth elder brother, "Fourteenth brother-"
The fourteenth elder brother tapped his palm with the handle of the Ugin horsewhip and hesitated: "I also understand that this is not a trivial matter. It's just that you didn't look at her like that, and at this time, I'm going to tell her this-"
Suddenly, I could only hear the cry of my daughter-in-law from behind the Qi Mansion, "Grandma, grandma, it's not good, Miss Caiyun has a difficult birth-"
Qi Su Niang carried her skirt and ran wildly towards Caiyun's courtyard, and the mournful cry of the moon hook like a demon echoed in the sky above Qi Mansion, "Caiyun! I want to have a son! I want to give birth to a son who can take revenge on my uncle! β
Caiyun's face was thin and pale, high and bulging, and her belly, which had been pregnant for ten months and eleven days, seemed to absorb all her energy. She was supported by her four daughters-in-law, sitting on the birthing pot and screaming, but her voice became weaker and weaker.
"Born a son and then die! If you fight for this life, you also want to give birth to a son who can take revenge for your uncle! "If you die, I will be a cow and a horse, go to the street to beg for food, let your son eat my flesh and drink my blood, and raise him to avenge my uncle!" You gave birth to a son for me and then died! β
"Grandma-Grandma-Grandma-Grandma--Grandma-"
The last two rays of red sunset passed through Qi Su Niang's miserable white and transparent back, and sprinkled on the corpse of Caiyun, the overturned red lacquer basin and the blood all over the ground.
The moon hook that was held by the mother-in-law, her hair was scattered, and she screamed like crazy: "Bring the knife!" Bring me a knife! Let me open my belly! She has a son in her belly who can avenge her uncle! There are sons! β
"Grandma, the child is also a stillborn ......" Mianmian cried, "Aunt Yue, she can't stand it...... The slave didn't dare to go back and tell the grandmother about it...... If grandma knew......"
"Son! Avenge the uncle! "The screaming moon hook was held hostage by four or five mothers-in-law." Grandma, let's go back to the house, my son is in my aunt's house......"
Fu Yourong walked to the door of Qi Qiang's bedroom with an embarrassed face, and looked at the name of Fu who was asking someone to give Qi Qiang restraint, "Where is your aunt and grandmother?" β
Fu Ming was already crying speechlessly, and said intermittently: "We...... Our aunt and grandmother are in ...... ...... in my aunt's room."
Fu Yourong sighed and went all the way into the West Garden. I saw that the back house was full of daughters-in-law and girls, and he pulled a question, and then he heard the cry all the way, "Grandma, grandma, it's not good!" The eldest grandmother knew that the child was gone, so she committed suicide by swallowing gold! β
Fu Yourong staggered back to the flower hall outside, "Fourteenth master, two more dead inside, slavesβslavesβI really don't dareβ" Fu Yourong cried with a sad face, "Miss Qi, sheβ"
"Sister! You're good to go! There is no half of a man in this Qi family who can take revenge! What hope is there to live! - My hard-working uncle! β
Li Quan'er also ran back from the back house with a miserable face, "Eighth Master, I just hit the wall and died-Qi family-there is no one left-"
The fourteenth elder brother stomped his feet again and again, "Don't leave one for her, and don't leave one for her!" β
The last trace of the blood-red remnant sun in the sky also disappeared, and in the empty back house of the Qi Mansion, the woman with her hair scattered wandered in the darkness, muttering to herself, "Qi family, dead......"
Finally changed on time, whew, hurry up and go out to do errands. Anyway, I merged the fifth and sixth volumes, Qing Nan, it should be the end of this volume.
