Yanxia is not afraid of ghosts.

She said that she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, killed bandits, eliminated bullies, and has the greatest courage in her body.

Tang Xian said: "No, your life is the biggest. ”

The dagger almost pierced the shoulder blade, and the wound was so bad, after a simple medicine bandage, it turned out to be fine.

Yanxia thought for a while and said, "That's right, that thief is so ruthless, I can still live, it's indeed fate!" ”

"What thief?"

Yanxia said with hatred: "I am an enemy! It's a thug who burns, kills, robs, and has no law! ”

At that time, she woke up from a coma, opened her mouth and closed her mouth to curse, saying how ruthless her enemies were, abused lynching, killed people like hemp, fed people to dogs, smoked human bones to make flutes, etc., did everything, she was a complete brute!

Tang Xian, a young lady who grew up in a deep boudoir, had never heard of such a cruel method, and she was stunned when she heard it.

"Does the government care?"

"He is powerful and powerful, and the government does not dare to manage it!"

There are some truths in Yanxia's words, Tang Xian doesn't know, but if she can ruthlessly kill a girl, this thief must be difficult to provoke, so be careful to dodge.

Now that I think about it, Yanxia said that the enemy was led out of the capital, it was a lie, and it was a trap for her to come to Cen Wangxian for help, only the lawlessness of his enemy was true.

- After Tang Xian was sure to call out for help, the official looked at her.

The other party kidnapped her in front of the officials......

She didn't know where she was, and the light in front of her was too dark to see, so she simply closed her eyes and tried to stay calm.

.

Early the next morning, in the attic study, Yun stopped processing paperwork.

Zhuang Lian came and said, "That girl has no city, and in terms of appearance, demeanor and bearing, she looks like a down-and-out daughter." She kindly saved Yanxia, and since Yanxia knew that Cen Wangxian was a foreign spy, how could she send her to the wolf's den? ”

In Zhuang Lian's opinion, Yanxia is stubborn, but he is not a person who will take revenge, and he should not let his life-saving benefactor take risks.

"Unless she guesses that Cen Wangxian has fallen into the hands of Gongzi."

Zhuang Lian made a bold guess and wondered again: "It's still not right, she knows that Cen Wangxian is in the hands of Gongzi, and she also makes people look like her, isn't she afraid that people won't be able to reach Gongzi's hands?" ”

Yanxia stole Yun Zhu's things, and once, Yun Zhu really wanted to kill her.

Tang Xian's appearance as smoke and haze was tantamount to a flickering candle lamp, which was discovered at the first step into the capital.

did not arrest her, because she wanted to find out Yanxia's hiding place through Cen Wangxian, but the result was unsatisfactory, but it was confirmed that Yanxia did not collaborate with the enemy and betray the country.

The first priority is to find the smoke and retrieve the stolen items.

Tang Xian is the only clue.

"Yanxia is not afraid that the son will torture people and ask questions? Is she sure that Gongzi will not torture that girl? Or are you sure that the girl would rather die than betray her? ”

Zhuang Lian guessed and guessed, confusing himself, "Yanxia ghosts have a lot of ideas, and eighty percent have another conspiracy." Childe, what do you say? ”

Yun Zhu looked at the paperwork, noncommittal to his guess, and only asked, "Did you search your body?" ”

"Searched, we don't have a girl here, we spent money to invite the street vegetable seller grandma to come over. The grandmother lion opened her mouth and asked for two taels of silver, and her subordinates grinded for a long time, and their throats were on fire, before they told them one or two halves. The people of the Southwest Palace, two taels of silver, all picked and searched, who believed it when they said it......"

With a "snap", Yun stopped throwing away the paperwork.

Zhuang Lian glanced at his iron face, closed his mouth, and opened it again: "In addition to the woman's clothes, another twenty taels of silver, a plain handkerchief, and two agate were hidden in the baggage. I've never seen that kind of agate, and it looks very valuable, and it can be sold for a lot of silver......"

Yun Zhu's tone was extremely poor: "Collect your poor sourness." ”

Zhuang Lian sighed bitterly.

He knew that Yun Zhu didn't suspect him of searching, but that he coveted a girl's belongings.

It's a shame indeed......

Zhuang Lian wanted to defend himself, his ears moved, and he saw the guards leading Tang Xian over from the small window.

Tang Xian had recovered her original appearance, still wearing the plain white clothes of the imperial tomb, and followed the guards across the corridor and bridge, quietly looking at the scenery along the way.

It's the spring of March, and the green buds on the lakeside are still hanging with crystal dewdrops, shining dazzlingly in the soft sunlight.

Along the way, there were no maids and maids, only cold tall guards.

Even the pavilions, carved beams and paintings, are all solemn and solemn style, Tang Xian didn't see it all, guessing from the layout, this is a simple and long-standing mansion.

can live in this kind of house, the owner should be a minister, and he will not lose the original Tang family.

Tang Xian dug through her memories from four years ago.

Is it the White Taishi's Mansion?

No, she had been there before, and the buildings of the Taishi Mansion were more southern, not this kind of uprightness.

Thinking about it carefully, at the beginning, my grandfather almost covered the sky with one hand, and a well-known person in the capital, he would invite her mother and daughter to a banquet in the back house, Tang Xian confirmed that she had never been to this mansion.

She had been isolated from the imperial tomb for too long, and she didn't know anything about the recent situation in the capital, so she was confused at this time, and she couldn't guess the origin of this person at all.

Chapter 3 Interrogation

"My family is a small merchant in Yuzhou, my parents are seriously ill, and I can't be the master, so I took a servant to the capital to look for my brother. There was an accident on the way, and the servant went missing...... Miss Yanxia met by chance, and in order to repay my kindness, she asked me to pretend to be her to find Cen Wangxian, saying that Cen Wangxian could help me find someone. ”

Tang Xian lowered her head, because she was lying, her voice was very low, and her speech speed was slow.

It's a story she's been thinking about all night.

She could see that whether it was Cen Wangxian or the young man in front of her, they all wanted to find Yanxia through her.

She had two options, one was to inform them that Yanxia would be recuperating in the filial piety tomb north of the imperial tomb.

In this way, her own identity was also exposed.

She has a special identity, in terms of seniority, and the current saint has to call her the imperial grandmother, but she is from the family of the guilty minister.

Leaving the imperial tomb without permission, it was not only her and the concubines, maids, and guards in the imperial tomb who were convicted, but her relatives in Yuzhou were also inevitably in trouble.

This path doesn't work.

She had the only choice to keep it secret for Yanxia.

"Didn't you tell Cen Wangxian yesterday that Yanxia was recuperating at your home?" Zhuang Lian questioned.

Outside the study, the guards guarded with knives, and inside the study, two men interrogated.

This situation alone made Tang Xian have a strong sense of oppression, she didn't dare to raise her head, and said weakly: "I'm afraid that he won't help me and lie to him." ”

Zhuang Lian shook his head: "There are many loopholes, and it's almost the same to deceive children." ”

Tang Xian listened anxiously, this was made up by her for half a night, where are the loopholes?

She clasped her hands tightly together, didn't listen to anyone, in order to add convincing, she focused on the encounter with Yanxia: "What I said is true, half a month ago, I met Yanxia in the bamboo forest behind Foguang Temple in the west of the city, her left shoulder was injured, and the dagger was about to pierce her heart a few inches down." ”

"She said that someone was chasing her and refused to seek medical attention, so I asked her to find herbs and apply them. After that, she asked me to pretend to be her to see Cen Wangxian......"

Yanxia was injured is true, and the bamboo forest of Foguang Temple is also true, her mother used to take her to burn incense and worship Buddha, and she saw it with her own eyes.

Half-truths, so detailed, what other loopholes can there be?

Yun Chen's gaze originally stopped on the Chinese book in his hand, but at this time, he suddenly put down the document and asked, "What is your brother's name?" ”

Tang Xian: "...... Meng Zhu. ”

She lied again, and the search was true, but this person was not her brother, or even a man.

At the end of last year, the old eunuch in charge of the guards had a cold, and while the guards were not strict at that time, a Mrs. Meng asked the guards to deliver a message to Tang Xian, saying that her parents and siblings had moved from Nanling to Yuzhou, and everything was fine, so she could rest assured.

Tang Xian didn't know who the other party was, and she couldn't send the message out.

But being able to pass the message into the airtight imperial tomb is enough to prove that this Mrs. Meng is from an extraordinary background.

Tang Xian guessed that the other party was her friend when she was not out of the cabinet, and she still remembered her old relationship.

She wanted to find this Madame Meng and ask her husband or elders to propose with the emperor that the rest of the mausoleum be freed.

When facing Cen Wangxian yesterday, Tang Xian had a little more heart, and said that Mrs. Meng was her brother, and now, she made up the name Meng Zhu.

"What is he doing in the capital?"

Tang Xian was afraid of the clouds, hesitated, and said, "Study." I can't read or write, and I don't know which academy he is in, so I want to trick Cen Wangxian into helping me. ”

always lowered her head and looked weak, Tang Xian was mentally prepared and raised her head slowly.

Her eyes were sloppy, and she didn't look at the person who interrogated her at all, and said, "I knew that Yanxia was uneasy and kind, so I wouldn't have gone to see Cen Wangxian." ”

Yun stopped and asked, "What day did you set off from Yuzhou?" ”

Tang Xian calculated the time and said, "It's been nearly a month." ”

"That's late February?"

Tang Xian nodded.

Yun stopped laughing, leaned back lazily, and said slowly: "On February 19, there was a ground movement in the area of Yuzhou, houses collapsed, river embankments were destroyed, and countless casualties ......"

Tang Xian, who was bent on making up stories and patching them, reacted a little slowly, and went through his words in her heart, and after she understood them, there was a buzz in her head, and in an instant, the blood on her face faded, and all the thoughts in her heart became blank.

There is another sentence behind the cloud stop: "The middle of the month is the worst time of the natural disaster, how did you come out intact?" ”

Tang Xian couldn't hear it anymore.

Yuzhou moved, with countless casualties.

Her father and sister are in Yuzhou!

Five years ago, at the entrance of the imperial mausoleum, a family of five said goodbye.

Tang's father said: "Exposing your grandfather's crime is my unfilial piety as a son, and I live shamelessly in the world." But if I die, how will your mother and your brothers and sisters live......"

Mrs. Tang couldn't cry, except for hugging her and calling her name over and over again, she couldn't say anything.

A pair of younger siblings were still ignorant and frightened, took her hand and said that they would come to pick her up when they grew up.

Can't go back.

What my grandfather wanted was to take away the Yun family.
