Wan Ning shouted: "Father! Father! ...... "How I wish he could come back to life, how I wish he could still talk to himself as before."

She grabbed her father's arm and shook him violently, but no matter how much she shook him, he didn't react.

The whole room also changed from a dead silence at the beginning to a cry of sorrow.

All the subordinates knelt down.

Gao Ziang looked at Li Zhenghang, who was lying motionless on the bed, just as he expected, Uncle Li finally couldn't hold on, and in Wanning's opinion, he walked too suddenly.

He stood still in the doorway for a moment, wiping tears from his face. turned his gaze to Wan Ning, who was already crying into tears, and then couldn't cry silently, Gao Ziang walked to Li Zhenghang's hospital bed and knelt down, turned around and hugged Wan Ning distressedly.

Wanning's two personal maids called out desperately on the side: "Master! Master! ”

How Wanning wished that her father did not go to Sichuan and Liangzhou.

All this is an order of the emperor. If my father had only obediently handed over the military power and did not listen to the emperor's dispatch, he would not have lost his father. But his father, who has always been loyal to the emperor, will not disobey the emperor's orders at all.

Li Shimin thought that everything was under his control, but he never expected that his negligence would lead to the death of a loyal minister.

The grief-stricken cries alarmed the people outside and soon alarmed the government.

About two hours later, several officers and soldiers broke in, saying that Master Li was infected with the plague and wanted to pull his body outside and burn it.

At this time, Wanning was crying so much that she had no strength, but when she heard that she was going to burn her father's body, she naturally didn't agree.

After her father told her that she was infected with the plague, Wan Ning had doubts, if her father was really infected with the plague, why did her father always be so calm and not afraid of infecting herself and the people around her?

It can be seen that the possibility of my father contracting the plague is very small.

My father has always been in good health, and before leaving, his family repeatedly told him to be very careful outside.

Suddenly got seriously ill, maybe someone did it on purpose, and the father didn't let himself hold resentment, which shows that the father knew it in his heart.

The father didn't tell himself anything, just took out the plague to prevaricate.

All of them, even though Wan Ning has no evidence, her father's death is definitely suspicious.

If someone really framed his father, would this be considered a ruined body? There is a suspicion of destroying evidence.

Wan Ning ran to the leading officers and soldiers and begged: "Big brother, I know that you are a good person, please let me bring back my father's body." My father was a court official during his lifetime, and his death was strange. ”

"Even though Master Li was in a high position before his death, we also obeyed the orders of our superiors, and the bodies of those infected with the plague were burned on the spot without exception. If the plague spreads because of this, I am a pawn, and I cannot afford anything to happen. Our adults also received orders from their superiors, in order to keep the black yarn hat, I am afraid that no one will dare to disobey the order, let alone allow you to bring it back to the capital. ”

"But my father may not be infected with the plague, and it's not too late to figure it out and burn it!" Wan Ning saw that he hesitated slightly, and immediately knelt down, "Please." ”

At this time, Gao Ziang shouted "Wanning" softly, intending to stop it.

The officers and soldiers wanted Wanning to get up: "Hey, Miss, you get up." ”

Several people around her also wanted to help her up.

But Wan Ning was still kneeling, looking at him expectantly.

Just as the leading officers and soldiers hesitated, an officer and soldier behind him stepped forward: "My father is dead, what are you talking about her!" I said, Miss, we are also acting on orders. ”

Gao Ziang knew that Wan Ning was already thinking about the cause of his father's death, and wanted to follow her will and leave Li Zhenghang's corpse.

However, these officers and soldiers kept saying the orders of the government, and they were just a small sergeant in front of the emperor, and it was difficult to stop them. If you get into trouble outside, your father's hand can't reach here.

It's a pity that he never thought that Li Zhenghang was poisoned to death, otherwise, he would never have let Uncle Li's body be burned.

Several officers and soldiers forcibly put Li Zhenghang's body on a shelf, carried it out, and carried it to the place where the body was burned without stopping.

Fortunately, they are just resolute, and there is still respect for the deceased. What's more, he used to be a member of the imperial court.

Wan Ning immediately followed them.

As soon as she got out of the inn, Wan Ning, who didn't look at the road at all, was unsteady on her feet and fell hard. With the help of her subordinates, she immediately got up again and chased after her.

She chased all the way, shouting "father" all the way.

Gao Ziang and Xiao Feiyan and several other people around them also followed.

The officers and soldiers stopped in an open place, where smoke was already billowing and the smell was unpleasant. And a lot of people gathered, crying and shouting.

Many officers and soldiers came to the scene to maintain order. No matter how sad people are, they can only look at their loved ones for the last time from afar.

They at least distinguished Li Zhenghang from the remains of others and gave him dignity after death.

Looking at her father's body, Wan Ning didn't care about anything, she just wanted to rush over and take another look at her father.

Gao Ziang hugged Wanning and said, "Wanning, you can't go over." This is the plague and it is contagious. ”

Wan Ning struggled: "You let go of me!" That's my father, I'm going over! ”

But Gao Ziang still hugged her, and Wanning finally struggled and collapsed to the ground.

Several people helped the grief-stricken Wanning up, and Gao Ziang handed her over to Xiao Feiyan and Ning Zhu. He called Yi'er aside, and he asked, "Yi'er, how many silver taels did you bring?" ”

"Excluding the cost of our return to Chang'an, there should be two or three hundred taels left." Yi'er replied.

Gao Ziang ordered: "Go and get through the contacts, ask them to burn it alone, and get back Uncle Li's ashes." ”

"Yes, young master."

Wan Ning looked desperately in the direction of her father's body, tears raining down.

About two hours later, Yi'er appeared in front of Wanning with Li Zhenghang's urn: "Miss Wanning, Master Li's ashes have been brought back." ”

Wan Ning hurriedly stepped forward to take it, her heart was empty, she sat on the ground weakly, and cried bitterly again.

By this time, night had already fallen. The originally quiet city of Liangzhou was even more silent, dead and silent.

Everyone hugged Wanning and returned to the inn.

Wan Ning did not go back to her room with her father's urn, but came to the guest room where her father lived before his death, and retired all the subordinates: "You all go out first, I want to stay alone with my father for a while." ”

She lay on the edge of the bed where her father had slept and let the tears run down her cheeks, even though her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Xiao Feiyan was extremely worried, and asked Gao Ziang, who was guarding outside, "Young Master, what should I do?" The young lady was not allowed to come close to serve, but the way she looked, the slave was really worried. ”

"Let Wan Ning calm down first, and I'll go in and have a look later. You go back to your room and boil the hot water, make the bed, and wait for her to go to bed later. ”

"Yes, young master."
