The two of them walked briskly into the house.

The bed veil fluttered, and the bed was empty.

The two immediately turned around and went to another courtyard. Not to mention people, not even living creatures.

There was no trace of a fight, and it was neat everywhere, like a family going out to play and coming back in a few days.

"Let's go!"

The two went out the same way and got into a carriage not far away.

It was Xiao Qian who drove the car, and when he saw that the two of them were empty-handed, he asked, "What about people?" ”

"Talk as you go."

The two got into the carriage, Xiao Qian also went up, shook the reins, and the horse walked forward.

"There is no one in the Liu family."

Xiao Qian was shocked, "How come?" ”

Then I thought of something, "Was it silenced?" ”

Song Yin shook his head.

Xiao Qian didn't ask any more questions, drove the carriage fast, and soon returned to the Dingguo Mansion.

Ding Guogong, Xiao Zheng and Song Si were waiting in the study.

Seeing the three of them come in, Xiao Zheng couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" ”

"There is no one in the Liu family."

Song Yin replied.

Xiao Zheng's thoughts are the same as Xiao Qian's, the Liu family was wiped out.

"There is no trace of a fight in the Liu family, and there is no bloodstain anywhere, it doesn't look like it was wiped out, but it looks like a family left."

Dingguo Gong twisted his eyebrows.

Liu Ying is the commander of the Yulin Army, the Yulin Army guards the safety of the capital, and the position of commander is even more important, and the Liu family is not an ordinary small family, even the servants, not to mention there are sixty or seventy people, so many people leave the capital It is impossible for no one to know.

"Liu Ying should have a ghost in her heart and moved out of her current house. There is such a big place in Beijing, and there are many Liu families, so they should buy a big house, and we will send people to investigate, and we should be able to find out soon. ”

"It's not right."

On the way back, Song Wanyue also thought about it, and then denied it herself, "Since the emperor used Liu Ying, he will definitely send someone to protect them, and we will investigate it on a large scale, which will also attract his attention." ”

Xiao Zheng was anxious, "What should I do then?" We can't just let him hide in the shadows, can we? If he still has smallpox in his hands, we will not be in danger all the time. ”

Smallpox is very contagious, that is, everything used by people with smallpox carries the virus, and once it is touched, it will also be infected. Liu Ying is now the emperor's dog, if the emperor asks him to use smallpox to deal with the Xu family and the Dingguo Mansion, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Song Wanyue's lips hooked lightly and sneered, "If it really comes to that point, let Chu Yi's son accompany us." ”

Didn't the emperor want to make his grandson the crown prince, so he would also infect Chu Yi's two sons, and see if he saved it or not?

"Good!"

Xiao Qian gritted his teeth, "If the people of our two provinces are really infected with smallpox, I will immediately have Chu Yi's son arrested to accompany us." ”

He not only wants to arrest, but also blatantly arrests, he wants to see, does that crazy thing dare to send someone to the Dingguo Mansion to rob people?

Yes, it's a thing, not a person, and he doesn't deserve to be a person.

……

Coming out of the Dingguo Mansion, Song Wanyue and Song Yin went to Nancheng.

The pastry shop has not yet opened, and the shopkeeper and his wife and the people in the shop have gone home for the New Year, and only Song Thirty people live there.

Song Wanyue knocked on the door three times.

Song San and the others opened their eyes instantly, jumped up, quickly got dressed and walked out to open the door.

Song Wanyue and the two walked in and entered the hall.

The lights had been lit in the hall, and the rest of the people were standing in the courtyard, and Song San walked in, "The owner? ”

"Bring pen and paper."

Song San turned around and went out, and quickly took a pen and paper.

Song Wanyue wrote a letter, sealed it and handed it to him, "You take the two of you out of the city early tomorrow morning to go to Fucheng Renshan Hall and hand over this letter to Dr. Yao." ”

Song San took it and put it away.

……

The next day, the officials did not go to the morning court.

The people don't know what they need to do, and they still do what they have to do.

The officials in the various yamen found their bosses unusual.

Not only did their bosses dress thicker, but they also had to be separated by more than two meters when they asked, and even after they came, they went directly to their own house, not talking to the people below at all, for fear of being infected by the people below.

The officers gathered together to discuss, but before they could say anything, they were interrupted by a loud shout.

After such a day, on the second day, his boss was still like this, and he thought that his boss had not been to the court for two consecutive days, and they all guessed that something had happened in the palace, to be exact, the emperor had an accident.

In the palace, several people with smallpox were found.

It is in Concubine Rong's palace.

One of them had only his last breath left, hidden by the rest of the palace in a dry well. If it weren't for the fact that a little palace maid was close to collapse and said it to the Imperial Forest Army blocking the palace gate, no matter how many times she searched it, she wouldn't be able to find it.

After the emperor received the report, he was furious and asked Sun Qi to interrogate those palace people.

is always on the verge of being infected and being buried alive, and many palace people have reached the verge of collapse, and someone will recruit them without interrogation--it is Concubine Rong's aunt who is the housekeeper who witnessed Concubine Rong's death, and has a grudge against Concubine Xiao Xian, and took advantage of the time when she left the palace to get the clothes worn by smallpox patients, and let the eunuchs in the palace put them on, close to Sixi.

After hearing this, Sun Qi looked around and didn't find the aunt they were talking about.

"Yes, in her house."

Sun Qi led the people over, kicked the door open, and saw the swaying legs of the housekeeper's aunt.

The emperor was even more angry when he got the retribution, and directly asked Sun Qi to throw the body of the housekeeper's aunt into the dry well, fill the well, and seal the others in the palace, whether they are dead or alive is all up to the will of heaven.

After hearing this, Concubine Xiao Xian just smiled slightly.

Although the palace gate was sealed, Sun Qi would tell them the news of the outside every day.

The fourth prince was lying on the bed, his face was burning red, and Concubine Xiao Xian gently held his hand, "Feng'er, are you afraid?" ”

The fourth prince shook his head slowly, his voice hoarse, "Son, don't be afraid, it's just, it's just a matter of affecting the mother and concubine." ”

"Silly Kid ......"

Concubine Xiao Xian smiled gently, "Our mother and son are one, what is not involved, wherever you go, the mother concubine will go."

The fourth prince had red eyes, he was not afraid of death, but he wanted his mother to live, leave the palace, live the second half of his life happily, and not be trapped in the palace again.

His mother didn't like the cage-like palace, and she didn't like the person.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, the emperor looked angrily at the kneeling imperial doctors, "One by one, don't you all say that you have excellent medical skills on weekdays?" Why can't even a small smallpox be cured? ”

The group of imperial doctors led by the hospital were kneeling in fear, and they didn't dare to come out.

In the past two days, the symptoms of the four princes have not only not been reduced, but have worsened, and the emperor's temper has become more irritable, and they are worried that their heads will fall to the ground at any time.

"The Emperor's ......"

The courtyard was upright, and he couldn't care about any face, "The ministers really have no choice, can you Xuan Song girl enter the palace to give it a try?" ”
