Chapter 567
Coming out of Zhongming Temple, the sun has already risen in the sky.
It was clear after the snow, and it was the coldest. All the way down the stone steps, the trees next to it were already covered with red ribbons.That is the wish of the pilgrims. In this cold and white snowy day, there is a different kind of scenery.
Following Ji Meiniang, Xiang Wan's thoughts were focused on the fire that occurred in Cao Mansion today.He gathered the fox fur at his collar and his arm was suddenly pulled.
Looking up, she saw that under the tree not far away, Ah San was smiling at her with a red ribbon in his hand.
That smile is warm and full of warmth, like an old friend who hasn't seen for many years, and like a greeting from a lover.
Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and he wanted to avoid it, but saw him walking straight in front of him.
Ji Meiniang and the others saw it and knew that Ah San had something to say to Xiang Wan, so they consciously went to the gazebo not far away to wait.
After almost a year, Ji Meiniang had understood Xiang Wan's thoughts. Although she had changed her mind towards Ah San, she was still a little worried.But her trust in Xiang Wan was [-]%.
Xiang Wan walked towards him and came to the stone steps.
Ah San wore a moon-white robe, with white fox fur on her wrists and neckline, and a pair of bright and eye-catching eyes on her handsome face.
"Xiang Wan, tie this ribbon with me, okay?"
In the outstretched hand, the bright red ribbon fluttered in the wind.
Xiang Wan smiled slightly, pulled the ribbon over, and said mischievously: "Do you want me to help you find a match? Sincerity leads to success. Where is your sincerity?"
Ah San raised her hand and pointed to her chest, "Here."
Xiang Wan bowed her head, a strand of long hair slipped from her temples.
Ah San watched, couldn't help stretching out her hand, trying to tie up that strand of hair to Xiang Wan, but she turned her head away.
His eyes darkened, he sighed, and said, "I might, I'm going on a long trip."
Xiang Wan raised her head and saw the complicated and reluctant eyes in his eyes, she lowered her eyes, "Be careful when you're out."
"you……"
"Aren't you going to tie a ribbon? Let's go."
Xiang Wan stepped to one side, Ah San stood there for a while, then followed.
It didn't snow heavily last night, and the snow on the roadside was slowly melting, and the messy footsteps had already left countless muddy patches on the ground.
The two walked silently to a thigh-thick maple tree, looking at the tree trunk with three or four ribbons already tied on it, and for a moment they didn't know where to choose to tie it.If it's too low, it won't work. If it's too high, Xiang Wan can't reach it.
While hesitating, Ah San took the ribbon and asked, "What is your wish? I can tie it into the ribbon for you."
"Be safe, everyone seems to like to ask for peace." Xiang Wan replied without thinking.
Ah San's eyes flashed, and he pulled Xiang Wan so that her back was facing the big tree, which also blocked the sight of Ji Meiniang and others. She leaned forward and locked Xiang Wan between him and the tree. She lowered her head and whispered softly: "It's for me. Do you want peace?"
Just as Xiang Wan was about to deny it, Ah San stretched out her index finger, "Shh! It won't work if you say it."
Looking up, seeing his smile and his approaching breath, Xiang Wan tilted his head.
Unexpectedly, the warmth she thought did not come, but a low laughter from her chest.
"Surprised, isn't it?"
Surrounded by Xuxu, feeling the rise and fall of his chest, Xiang Wan didn't push back or respond, so that's it.
Maybe it was Xiang Wan's inaction that pleased him. Ah San took half a step back and said with a smile, "Girl, you are so hard-hearted. Remember? The first time we met, you drove me away. When you were angry The look, the angry tone, the sly eyes, and the cold rejection are always in my mind. At that time, I was wondering what your expression would be when your heart was moving... After working together for so long, the more familiar I am with you, the more I know you. The more curious you are, what is going on in your little head. I guess, you probably won't be moved by anyone. Girl, remember, you provoked me first. "
Saying that, Ah San took a few steps back, and when she turned around, she waved goodbye to Xiang Wan, "Girl, wait for me to come back!"
He took big steps, and within a few breaths, he had disappeared around the corner of the stairs.That smiling face was still in Xiang Wan's mind.
Ji Meiniang and the others came to Xiang Wan's side at some point and asked, "Wan'er, what did he say to you?"
Xiang Wan shook his head and turned to look at the big tree behind him. The ribbon was tied high on the tree and fluttered in the wind.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, the emperor led the imperial concubine, princes, princesses and ministers up to the heights to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the people.A remote warehouse in the east of the city suddenly exploded and burst into flames.The Holy One was furious and sent the commander of the imperial army to check.
The place where the explosion occurred was a warehouse for storing glazed products. Because the old man guarding the warehouse was greedy for drinking, he accidentally knocked over the candlestick and ignited the fabric, causing the wine he had stored privately to explode. On fire.
When the Imperial Guards passed by, they happened to see a black shadow running out in a hurry.Some people chased the black shadow, and when some people checked the source of the explosion, they discovered a cellar in the nearby yard, which was full of gunpowder and weapons.
His Majesty's face was as cold as frost, and he ordered a thorough investigation overnight.
After the black shadow got into a dead end, it suddenly disappeared.Then the imperial guards saw Wu Yan, who was disheveled, and Princess Jinyi, the daughter of the third prince, giving and receiving privately.
At the same time, the minister of Dali Temple received an anonymous letter reporting that the third prince was collaborating with the Wu family to rebel. The weapons workshop was built in a remote mountain depression five miles away from the city, using the Orion's hut as a cover.
Dali Siqing has never been close to the aristocratic family, nor has he had too much contact with the emperor's relatives and relatives. He is the emperor's man.
After receiving the secret, he quickly sent people out of the city to investigate secretly, so as not to alert the enemy.
At midnight, the minister of Dali Temple secretly asked to see the Holy Emperor and presented a secret letter and the results of the investigation.
All previous emperors have never tolerated rebels, and immediately ordered the Wu family and the prince's mansion to be secretly monitored. At the same time, the nine admirals and guard commanders led people to search the weapon workshop, and ordered the guards to interrogate those involved overnight. personnel.
When Xiang Wan returned to Ji's Mansion, she took off all her clothes, burned all her clothes, shoes and socks in a copper basin, then lay down and fell asleep peacefully.
The capital city is about to experience storms, the fuse has already been ignited, she just needs to wait for the result.
The next day, "Ah San's shop" was still closed, but Xiang Wan led the shop assistants to Shuntian Mansion to beat drums and complain, suing the Cao family for coveting Ji's property and intentionally setting fire to it.
Yin of Shuntian Mansion was having a headache because of what happened last night. The son and princess of the Wu family were with him. The Holy Majesty would not let him go. Both the Wu family and the prince came. If someone reported the crime, he naturally had no intention of understanding it. They were all arranged for the people under him.
After half a year of idling in the capital, Ji Pengyu was sent to write a document. Although he was also in Shuntian Mansion, his position was dispensable.
When he suddenly heard that Xiang Wan had come here to complain, he couldn't sit still and wanted to come over to ask for details, but he was pulled away.
Obviously, someone didn't want him to be involved in this matter.
Xiang Wan gave Ji Pengyu a reassuring look, and then told the visitor about the burning of the warehouse.
The old man in charge of the warehouse has a twisted relationship with Yuan Xiqing.It doesn't matter whether he did it on purpose or not, it's enough to burn the fire to Cao's house.
The old man was not injured when the fire broke out, but he couldn't help the yamen's officers to check him.In his residence, there is gold and silver gifted to him by Yuan Xiqing, and he was seen entering and leaving Cao's residence.When the alcohol addiction came up, the old man went to drink to satisfy his hunger in order to be able to get rid of it quickly, and it didn't take long for him to recruit them all.
When Yuan Xiqing was found, she was tortured beyond human form.
As soon as Cao Xinqian thought of the diagnosis given to him by Doctor Ji, he felt a green light in his head, and after drinking, he went to trouble Yuan Xiqing.Whips, ropes, hair burned with candles, slaps, and sticks were all used.
Seeing the arrival of the Yacha, Yuan Xiqing showed hatred in her eyes, "Master, I want to report!"
