Chapter 21: Chasing the Roots (Three More Requests for Pink Tickets!) )

"Young grandma! Young grandma! Wake up! Wake up! It's on fire! It's on fire! Jiang Siniang was woken up by the maid in her sleep, hurriedly put on her robe, held the maid's hand, and rushed out of the door.

"Where's Huaili?" Jiang Siniang stood in the open space of the courtyard, smelled the scorched fireworks, and suddenly remembered Zhou Huaili, "Where is he?" ”

When she slept, she remembered that she fell asleep with Zhou Huaili, but when she was woken up by the maid just now, there was no one around her!

The maids and women beside her looked at each other and shook their heads.

Jiang Siniang's face changed suddenly, "Go and find it!" What are you doing here?! ”

“…… However, where can you find such a fire? The maid was busy persuading Jiang Siniang, "Young grandma, let's go out first, and let the little girl outside come in to find it!" ”

"No! I can't leave him behind! Go find it! Jiang Siniang's voice became more and more sharp and harsh, hysterical.

“…… Siniang. At this moment, Zhou Huaili clutched his chest, stumbled in from outside the door, and fell to the ground.

"Huaili!" Jiang Siniang was so excited that she burst into tears, and hurriedly rushed over with her skirt to help Zhou Huaili up from the ground.

She certainly didn't have much strength on her own.

The maid beside her hurriedly followed, picked up Zhou Huaili, and ran to the second door with Jiang Siniang.

There were also people in the inner and outer courtyards who came to put out the fire with buckets, and everyone hurriedly put out the fire, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the water was just a drop in the bucket.

It wasn't long before another gust of wind blew. The wind fueled the fire, and the Hussar General's Mansion was finally burned clean.

Jiang Siniang helped Zhou Huaili to stand far away on the corner of the street, looking at the general's mansion that was burned to the ground, and suddenly looked left and right, and asked, "What about Mother?" Where is the mother?! ”

Around her gathered the subordinates who had run out of the General's Mansion.

Everyone looked around, shook their heads, and said, "I didn't see it." ”

“…… Go find it! Zhou Huaili, who had been holding his chest and his face was pale, roared wildly and almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Siniang hurriedly held his arm and said, "Don't worry, the fire over there seems to be extinguished." I told them to come in and look for it. He said. He turned back to the steward and said, "Hurry up and take a few people to the house, especially your mother's yard." ”

The steward responded, and hurriedly ran to the general's mansion, which had been extinguished, with a few servants and mother-in-law.

Jiang Siniang asked Zhou Huaili worriedly: "What's wrong with you?" Where did it go? Why did this house suddenly catch fire? ”

Zhou Huaili closed his eyes, and his forehead was bruised. Gritting his teeth, he said, "...... I saw a fire outside. I want to put out the fire. As a result, I was accidentally choked, and now I feel uncomfortable. ”

In fact, not long after Grandma Wu San left, he woke up leisurely......

It didn't take long. It was dawn.

The steward who went to the mansion to look for Grandma Wu came over with someone dejectedly, and said to Jiang Siniang and Zhou Huaili: "Young grandmother, general, there is no one in the courtyard of the third grandmother...... All of them were burned to death! As he spoke, the steward and his servants began to weep bitterly.

"Huh?!" Jiang Siniang was taken aback and shed tears, "How can this be?" How so?! ”

When Zhou Huaili heard this, he was already planted on the ground and fainted.

……

The news of Wu San's grandmother's death was quickly sent to the Divine General's Mansion and the Wu Guogong Mansion.

Sheng Siyan was walking in the yard with Ah Bao in his arms, and when he heard the news, he was stunned.

“…… He's dead? Burned? How could it be......" Sheng Siyan was skeptical.

She is one of the few people who can see that Grandma Wu San has kung fu.

Such a powerful woman, who has always had a very pungent personality, how could she be burned to death?

She doesn't live alone, so many people in the general's mansion have run out, there's no reason why Grandma Wu San can't run out?

Of course, Sheng Siyan only pondered in private, and did not shout loudly.

She took Ah Bao to ask Feng for peace and talked about General Zhou Huaili's mansion.

"Dead?" Feng was also surprised.

She and Grandma Wu San have been fighting for most of their lives, but they didn't expect the other party to end up like this......

Sheng Siyan nodded, "That's what the person who came to report said so. ”

“…… Prepare for the funeral and go to mourn. Feng sighed and shook his head.

When Old Man Zhou heard the news, he took out the letter sent to him by Grandma Wu San a few days ago and looked at it silently, and said to Zhou Da Steward: "...... It's a bit of a strange thing. ”

Steward Zhou bowed down and said, "Master, I see it." ”

"Forget it. They're all grown-ups and know what they're doing. Old Man Zhou also sighed and shook his head, "Prepare for the funeral and send condolences." There are also two children who will also be brought back for their mother's funeral. ”

Zhou Da was busy with affairs, and went out to make arrangements.

……

“…… Grandma Wu San is dead? Chiichi was also surprised when he heard the return of his subordinates.

"The Wu Guogong Mansion that you let us keep an eye on has not been abnormal recently. In addition to the other day, they died two husbands, one is said to be drunk and fell into a well and drowned, and the other was returning to his hometown to visit relatives and was robbed and killed by bandits halfway. ”

Chiyi nodded slightly, "Got it, you guys go down." ”

Guardians have their own group of subordinates, who are the ones who do things for them.

Of course, these people don't know who they're doing things for.

They obey only their masters.

Chi Yi sat in his house, slowly wiped the disguise off his face, and already had a rough guess about Ziqi's identity in his heart.

Huang San has not been abnormal for a while, and he should not be a mole.

The only one who behaves strangely is Qingwu.

Chiyi sent people to follow him, but he always didn't follow him for long, and then he lost it.

That's not an ordinary strength.

And it seems like there are a lot of helpers.

Who is this person?

"It seems that I have to go by myself." Chi made up his mind.

On this day, in the Guardian's new seven-entry mansion, the four remaining Guardians gathered.

Chiyi glanced at everyone. Said: "There seems to be an abnormality on the side of the fallen people recently, Qingwu, do you want to go to the northwest and see what's going on over there?" ”

Qing Wu raised his hand, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and said, "I've been feeling a little unwell lately, and I can't go far away." ”

"Huh? How can you be uncomfortable? Huang San was very surprised, "People who eat and die are not invaded by all diseases, how can you ......?" ”

Chiyi spoke quietly for Qingwu: "...... Maybe it's because it's been a long time ago and it's already a little ineffective. Right? ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Qing Wu nodded busily.

"That's a pity. We don't have any extra life in our hands now, otherwise we can give you another one. Chiyi said with a smile.

"yes, that's a pity...... "Qing Wu's eyes flickered, and he laughed.

"That's good. I've been fine lately. Then I'll take it myself. "Akaichi took this matter over.

So this time. Akaichi was the first to walk out from here.

After he went out, he turned a corner outside, taking advantage of the night. He slipped back and waited under the base of the courtyard wall.

Qingwu was the last one to come out.

He looked to the right and left, then jumped on the roof and ran in the direction of the city gate.

Chiyi's kung fu is obviously higher than Qing Wu, he followed all the way behind, and Qing Wu in front tried several times, but he didn't find him.

The two of them went out of the city gate one after the other and ran into the distance.

Chi Yi followed for a while, and was very surprised to find that the road Qing Wu took was obviously the road in the direction of their Zhou family's ancestral tomb!

This Lu Chiyi is obviously more familiar than Qingwu, so his concealment is more effective.

Qing Wu finally came to the location of the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family, and Chi Yi had been waiting on a big tree for a long time.

Qing Wu looked left and right, ripped off the mask on his face, and then went to the entrance of the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family.

Aka glanced at his face and found that it was a person he had never known, not anyone in the Four Great Mansions, nor a person in the palace.

Qing Wu walked out from under the tree, dusted off his robe, and said to the gatekeeper of the Zhou family's ancestral tomb: "I'm a friend of Lord Zhou, come and see him." ”

The gatekeeper hurriedly said, "What is your surname?" The little ones are going to pass it on to you! ”

Qing Wu said: "My surname is Qing, line five." As soon as you say it, he understands. ”

The gatekeeper nodded, and went in to pass the pass.

It didn't take long for Zhou Ye to follow the man out on crutches and said, "It's you who are here, come in!" Come on in! ”

Qing Wu nodded and followed Zhou Ye in.

The ancestral tomb of the Zhou family is a treasure land of feng shui, covering a very vast area.

Tall temples were also built around it, which were used for sacrifices. There are also many houses for the Zhou family to live in.

Zhou Ye was punished by Old Man Zhou to guard the tomb of Old Lady Zhou, and he has been here for a long time.

The two came to sit cross-legged in the grass house where Master Wednesday lived, and each held a cup of tea.

This cottage is next to the mausoleum of Mrs. Zhou, surrounded by open space, planted with evergreen pines and cypresses, and it is gloomy during the day, and there is not even a figure.

Qing Wu looked around and said, "You are also leisurely here." ”

"Leisurely, why not leisurely?" Wednesday Ye smiled bitterly, "There are dead people all around, you can't be leisurely if you don't want to!" ”

"Dead people are good, dead people don't talk nonsense." Qing Wu smiled, and then lowered his voice and said, "The Lord asked you, what did you have to do with that picture?" ”

“…… It would be nice to have a chance to see the real picture. "I don't have a clue yet, but I have found out something else that should be useful to the Lord." ”

"Something else? What else? Qing Wu frowned, "The Lord has arranged it for so many years, and it is not for you to have troubles. ”

"Where's the side story?" Wednesday Ye said disappreciably, "I'm a sharpening knife and not cutting wood!" ”

"Then tell me quickly!"

"I've read so many books, and finally I've found some clues about the depravity!"

"Fallen people? What does it have to do with the fallen? ”

"It's a big deal. DID YOU KNOW? ――What kind of dynasty was the previous dynasty? ”

“…… Is there any difference? It's just that the emperor's surname is different. ”

"You are wrong, the royal family of the previous dynasty should have a lot to do with those fallen people......"
