CH.41 Dangerous Chess
Once the fire was discovered, the soldiers immediately rushed to the place where the water was going to put out the fire.
This year's Lantern Festival has passed, and the soldiers of Wanghuo Tower can finally relax a little.
In the Wanghuo Tower near the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion, the soldier in charge of duty was thinking about getting off duty, so he went to the wine shop to sell a dime of wine, and then bought a few strings of sheep's head sticks, and had a good meal to drive away the cold. This spring night is steep, the height of the Wanghuo Tower is not cold, the winter clothes on the body are not warm enough, and it is strange to stand for half a night.
The sheep's head sign is the cheapest and delicious in Zhai's foot shop, if it is......
The soldier's eyes widened suddenly.
Not far away, the Wenchang Marquis Mansion actually sounded the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, and the fireworks soared into the sky!
What is the Marquis of Wenchang doing? I haven't heard that his family has reported that he is going to set off fireworks! No, you have to quickly notify the military commander and ask the soldiers of the patrol to go to the Wenchang Marquis Mansion to ask what the situation is.
"Incompetent!" When the fireworks soared into the sky, Wen Changhou walked out of the sedan chair and stomped his feet angrily at the fireworks.
Steward Kang also rolled out of the sedan chair, and when he saw General Jiang looking at the fireworks, he looked confused: "It's the New Year again?" Hey, no, is there still a little lady with us? Where did she go? No, she was brought in by the old man, and the old man has to find her. ”
General Jiang is confused, but his temperament is still the same stubborn.
Steward Kang was about to stop him, but General Jiang got into the sedan chair again: "Quick, take the old man to find the little lady of Fangcai." ”
Steward Kang remained silent and glanced at the palanquin drivers. The sedan chair drivers understood, lifted the sedan chair and walked to the back door.
Finally solved the old General Jiang, Steward Kang hurriedly appeased Marquis Wenchang: "Master Hou, the old slave will deal with it." Keep it clean, don't let that little slut get angry. ”
"Hmph." Wenchanghou flicked his sleeves, stopped sitting in the sedan chair, and strode back to the backyard.
The backyard is also brightly lit, and compared to the bustle in front, the backyard is so quiet that people dare not breathe.
Faintly, there was a very low voice of chanting.
Suddenly, a hoarse woman's voice came: "Read it louder to me!" Jer, he can't hear me! ”
Wen Changhou's feet did not dare to step in.
Their only son had been dead for a few days, but his wife, King Kant, still couldn't accept it. She put her son in an ice coffin and ordered the maids in the mansion to recite the Soul Sutra day and night. She thinks that as long as her heart is sincere enough, her son will wake up one day.
Although Wen Changhou didn't want to accept it, several medical officers had confirmed that their only son was killed by a knife, and he died extremely well, and he was powerless to return to heaven.
He is more sober than his wife, accepts the reality, and is determined to arrest the murderer, and then cut him with thousands of knives and pieces in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. He was nearly forty years old before he got such a son, and now the white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and all thoughts are lost.
It's a pity that because my sister is the queen mother, and she is already old, and she loves her son very much on weekdays, for fear that the queen mother will not be able to bear the bad news, the saint did not let Dali Temple investigate the case with great fanfare, but ordered people to investigate quietly.
The latest development of the case, he learned that before his son died, he actually had a private meeting with Qin Guanlan's daughter Qin Wanwan in Baoxiang Temple. Qin Wanwan has a major suspicion.
Qin Wanwan had been secretly escorted back to Dali Temple, and he couldn't wait to rush to Dali Temple and cut Qin Wanwan with a thousand knives. But Shaoqing of Dali Temple stopped him and didn't let him see him. The killer can't kill the enemy himself, and the Marquis of Wenchang is angry. At this moment, Qin Wanwan's maid came to the door and begged him to save Qin Wanwan.
Ahh
Marquis Wen Chang turned his head and entered the cell where the maid was held.
The cell was dark and exuded a strong smell of blood, the woman was covered in blood, lying motionless on the ground, bloodthirsty flies buzzing and flying, and the Marquis of Wenchang snorted fiercely: "The Qin family, they all deserve to die, they all deserve to bury my son!" ”
The woman outside actually had the face to ask for the Qin family's money. The money and wealth of the Qin family were all given by Qin Wanwan's cheap hooves who wanted to marry into the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion and were willing to give it to herself. It was an honor for the Qin family to accept the Qin family's money from the Marquis of Wenchang!
"Son, soon someone will be with you. My son is lonely, and I have a few of you to accompany the funeral on Huangquan Road, and I can't eliminate the hatred of the old man! ”
After Wen Changhou scolded Siping, he didn't want to go to his wife's side, but turned around and walked to his study.
The lights in the study were bright, and the handsome waiter greeted him: "Master Hou." ”
Wenchang Hou sat down on the rose chair tiredly, and the attendant hurriedly walked behind him, stretched out his hand and gently pinched his shoulders for him: "Master Hou, the little one has made Qingxin tea, can you eat it?" ”
The attendant has been with him for ten years, and he has grown from an eight- or nine-year-old child to a handsome man today, and he knows how to read his mind the most.
but his son, who disobeyed him everywhere. He clearly warned his son not to associate with the daughter of the Qin family, but instead of listening, his son said that he would marry Qin Wanwan as his wife.
Hmph, just with Qin Guanlan's old puppet who is climbing and biting people everywhere, he is also worthy of being his in-laws?
Remembering that ten years ago, Qin Guanlan was not famous at that time, but his tone was not small, and he wanted to grab his pigtails when he said it, Wen Changhou felt choked in his throat, and he wanted to eat Qin Guanlan alive.
Snort, fortunately, the sky has eyes, and the saint is wise, and he was driven out of the capital.
He also drank a few more glasses of wine excitedly that day, celebrating that Qin Guanlan had finally received retribution, but when he was drunk, he was shocked to hear that his son had died!
It must have been Qin Guanlan who instigated his daughter and killed his son!
Wen Changhou gritted his teeth, and his shoulders tensed involuntarily.
"Master Hou, take it easy." The acolyte whispered softly.
His fingers were strong and soothing, and Wen Changhou finally relaxed.
"Wanzhou, I will tell the kitchen later, make some light porridge and send it to the junjun."
"Yes, Master Hou." Li Wanzhou responded softly, watching Wen Changhou slowly close his eyes, under the light, Wen Changhou, who was almost a year old, was full of wrinkles, and he was no longer young.
The corners of Li Wanzhou's lips raised slightly.
In the night wind of hunting, a pair of bright eyes looked at Qin Xiangxiang, and for a moment he couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.
Two helpless women, unprepared...... Uh, it's a little prepared, breaking into the Hou Mansion, isn't this waiting for death?
In the past, he still thought that Qin Xiangxiang was quite smart, but the result was only the surface.
Qin Xiangxiang didn't bring many fireworks, and they were quickly finished. The lively night sky returned to calm, and Qin Xiangxiang also led the red sleeves to hide in what looked hidden.
Steward Kang came galloping in a small sedan chair, and there were more than 20 family members running in front of him.
"Search for me!" Steward Kang was furious. It turned out that it was two weak women, and it was easily solved, who would have thought that it would be missed?
A large number of torches were lit, forcing the night to have nowhere to hide.
Qin Xiangxiang's palms were about to sweat.
Outside the gate of the Marquis of Wenchang's mansion, the guards were pushing: "Our county monarch likes fireworks, so the marquis will buy some and put them for the county monarch to enjoy, why not?" ”
The sergeant who took the lead frowned: "The law of the imperial court stipulates that if fireworks are set off on non-holiday days, they must be reported. ”
The guard was very impatient: "There are countless families in our Hou Mansion, and there are countless reservoirs, if there is a fire, there is no need for you to come." ”
The sergeant frowned, these powerful people are sometimes quite unreasonable, which is really a headache. He was thinking about how to respond, when someone suddenly exclaimed: "The fire in the Hou Mansion is bright, but the water is gone?!" ”
The guards were shocked, and the sergeant in front of him had already shouted: "If you don't open the gate quickly, if you delay the firefighting, who will be responsible?!" ”
