Chapter 646: Xianxiawen Eats Melon and Farms Daily Life (22)
By the time the prince led people to the scene of the explosion, the entire main courtyard of the Mei family had almost been burned to ashes, and many other courtyards were also engulfed in flames.
And about this matter, I don't know how many versions have been circulated, but each version is full of weird and strange colors.
Without waiting for everyone to salute, the prince asked the prime minister, "What's going on?" ”
The other officials were in charge of directing the firefighting, and the prime minister called Jing Zhaoyin to the prince, "Tell His Royal Highness the prince what you know, 1510." ”
However, Jing Zhaoyin seemed to be so frightened that he lost his soul, and his body has been trembling since he knelt on the ground, and he has never stopped.
He kept repeating the word "Xiaguan" like a tooth fight, but he never came up with a reason.
The prime minister scolded: "Who promoted the useless things?" ”
A person behind him said: "Lord Hui, his surname is Mei." ”
surnamed Mei, and so useless, and in such an important position as Jing Zhaoyin, the origin of this person is self-evident.
This sentence almost scared Jing Zhaoyin to death, and after a while, he was wet with cold sweat all over his body.
The prime minister nodded at a tall strong man behind Jing Zhaoyin with an expressionless face, "Tell me, what did you all see?" ”
The strong man first knelt down and saluted the prince, and finally said: "Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, back to the Prime Minister, this matter is strange......
Liu Huaijin: "What's the trick?" ”
The others were a little dissatisfied, who was so blind to see, interrupted others to speak, and when they saw that it was Liu Huaijin, they didn't open their mouths again.
If it weren't for the noble concubine to get in the way, Liu Shizi, who has the ability of a talented general, would have already stood taller than them.
The strong man hesitated and looked at the prince.
Everyone else could see that there might be something hidden in this.
This is the Mei family, the concubine's mother's family, and Princess Zixia's foreign family, and it is not without strange and bizarre things that have happened here, but they have all been suppressed by the concubine.
Yushi has always participated in the Mei family, but His Majesty dotes on the concubine and Princess Zixia, so he also loves the house and connives, the Mei family.
So in many cases, in the end, a substitute ghost was found, but the real mastermind got away with it, but two imperial historians were convicted of the case of the Mei family, one is still in exile, and the other is still in prison.
His Majesty can't even tolerate the imperial history of exposing the Mei family's crimes, how can he tolerate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is more like the king of a country than him?
Everyone looked at the prince with a faint worry in their eyes.
The prince was unaware of everyone's gaze, he pondered for a moment, and then motioned to the strong man, "Say whatever you see, don't worry about being punished for it, if someone condemns or takes revenge on you, you will protect you." ”
After speaking, he said to Chengfeng: "Pass the order of the orphans, count the list of witnesses, protect the witnesses and their families, and if anyone dares to attack these people, they will be killed." ”
Chengfeng: "Yes! ”
Chengfeng and several young officials dispersed, leaving only the crown prince and the others and the guards responsible for their safety.
"The villain thanked His Royal Highness the Prince!"
After the strong man finished speaking, he talked about what they had seen and heard.
There was an explosion in Mei's house, the ground shook, and the fire soared to the sky.
He and his brothers were on night duty and happened to be patrolling through the neighborhood, and when they heard the explosion, they rushed here as soon as possible.
"When I went to the grave before, the villain had seen a ghost fire, but he had never seen such a weird and bizarre ghost fire, so grand, it simply surrounded the entire Mei family." The strong man said.
The faces of the timid officials changed.
The prime minister and the crown prince's faces remained unchanged, and they both looked at the strong man calmly.
Prime Minister: "Ghost fire? ”
The strong man nodded, "Yes, the villain will never be mistaken, it is a ghost fire, if the adults don't believe it, you can ask the people who were in charge of patrolling with the villain at that time, as well as the surrounding people, they have also seen those things with their own eyes." ”
The officers and soldiers behind them, dressed like the strong men, knelt down, and they seemed to be frightened by what they saw.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what he said is true, and the villain can testify!"
"The villain can also testify that the villain has never seen such a strange ghost fire."
The prime minister arranged for some people to record the testimony of these people, and said to the strong man: "You go on." ”
Strong man: "When I was a child, I heard the elders say that where there is a ghost fire, there is a grievance, and the villain never believes these words, but today, we and the people around us have all seen it." ”
"What do you see?" An adult asked.
The strong man's expression began to turn terrifying.
"When we came, we happened to be here at the south gate, and we saw blue flames on the wall of the Mei family's courtyard, everyone was startled at the time, but soon something more strange happened, those flames began to expand gradually, and after they became larger, they quickly moved with the wind, as fast as flying fire, and in the blink of an eye, everywhere we could see, were surrounded by blue flames."
What he said was so mysterious that the faces of several ministers turned pale.
Prince: "Go on." ”
The strong man said: "Those flames loomed and rushed, and after a while, they came around from the other side, and it was also at this moment that we saw other things hidden in the flames. “
Someone's face turned pale with fear, but he couldn't stop wondering, "What is it?" ”
Strong man: "Figure." ”
"Figures?"
"How can there be a figure in the flames?"
Oh, yes.
Everyone looked at each other, how could there be a figure in the fire, I'm afraid it wasn't a ghost?
Strong man: "There are a lot of shadows, I can't count them clearly, some are crying, some are running, some are kowtowing and begging for mercy, some are covered in bruises, and some are not attached to the body......"
He listed a lot of them, and used many words that made people feel creepy when they heard them, which also made many people present shudder.
"And after that?" One of them asked boldly.
Where did those ghost fires go in the end?
Why is it missing now?
The strong man said: "At that time, the wind was howling, the ghost fire was like smoke, and it didn't take long for it to go to the center like a water snake and fall to the highest stargazing tower of the Mei family. ”
The woman who looked like a maid, but in the prime of her cardamom years, wrapped the snow-white white silk around her neck over and over again, wrapped it repeatedly, and tightened it until she lost her life.
The young woman dressed as a folk girl kept struggling at the window in an oppressed position, hitting her head and bleeding, and finally jumped down resolutely, and Xiang Xiaoyu died.
The male and female servants were bound by iron chains, and their bodies were covered with burn marks from the soldering iron, and not even a single intact skin could be found.
……
Before the strong man finished speaking, many people had already stood on end, as if they were in hell.
At this moment, the yin wind blew, and the top of the only remaining high pavilion with a basic frame in the main courtyard of the Mei family suddenly spilled into a blue flame.
Countless voices of struggle or shouting or begging for mercy or roaring or crying out for grievances came from there.
Everyone looked at each other and froze in place for a moment.
Under the strange and eerie flames, there are really countless lonely souls and wild ghosts.
