Chapter 94 News
When a fire dragon twenty or thirty feet long suddenly appeared on the avenue in front of the main entrance of Qiaoling Mausoleum, it not only alarmed the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum, but also the farmers living nearby heard the noise and looked around. Li Lijun had already quietly floated away in her cloak.
, disappeared into the night.
No matter how anxiously the Xue family tried to extinguish the fire dragon, the fire that had been tampered with by Li Lijun would not be extinguished that easily. It would not burn the entire carriage, but it would definitely leave a clear mark on the road, unable to
Easy to clear.
After all, Qiaoling is also the tomb of the late emperor. The Pei family made such a fuss in front of the tomb of the late emperor. Can the concubine's nephew really cover up the matter by saying a few nice words in front of the emperor?
The emperor also has a sense of shame. No matter how much he loves his concubine and her sisters, he still needs to show his filial piety to his parents in front of the world. How can he be merciful to the sinners who offended the late emperor's tomb?
That Pei Hui, would he really have such deep feelings for a cousin who had caused him trouble that he would desperately plead for him?
If Pei Hui does nothing and the rest of the Pei family chooses to sacrifice a small person in exchange for the royal family not to punish the rest of their family more, then the Pei family member who just spoke so brazenly and tried to use his power to destroy others' futures will have to try it.
It feels like having your future ruined by someone relying on your power.
Cause and effect, this is how things should be.
Li Lijun quietly entered the inn and slipped back to her room. Erhong was still asleep and didn't seem to notice that she had left.
At this time, there were only about two hours before dawn. Li Lijun packed up her cloak and quickly went to bed to sleep.
The next morning, she woke up again under the system's reminder, practiced as usual, washed herself, and changed clothes. When Mrs. Shao was packing up the clothes she had changed, she saw some dirt and grass clippings on the soles of her shoes, and she whispered
Hong: "Last night, the little lady went out and soiled her shoes in Qiaoling. Why didn't you say anything when you came back? After leaving them overnight, the stains will be difficult to wash off!"
Erhong just thought it was Li Lijun who accidentally soiled her shoes when she went to Qiaoling to find someone, and she didn't raise any suspicion: "It was already very late when I came back last night, so I forgot about it. It's my fault."
Madam Shao softened her expression when she saw that she had admitted her mistake: "Forget it, remember in the future. Now the young madam only takes a few of us out, which is more than the number of people who are waiting in the palace. If you forget something, someone else will fill it. Shoes."
It’s a small matter, but the young lady doesn’t bring a few pairs of shoes when she travels. If she doesn’t have enough to wear, should she be allowed to wear dirty shoes to others?!”
Erhong admitted her mistake honestly, took the shoes and went to the yard to wash them herself. Madam Shao got another pair of clean shoes for Li Lijun to wear. Li Lijun knew when the shoes were dirty, and felt a little sorry, so she whispered to Madam Shao
: "I was the one who made the shoes dirty. Nurse, please stop scolding Erhong."
Mrs. Shao also whispered to her: "Young lady wears shoes, you can get them dirty if you want. There is no need to restrain yourself. I just remind Erhong to be more careful in doing things. She will be in charge of things next to the young lady in the future. If
How can we rest assured when we have been so careless?"
Li Lijun touched her nose and thought that she might consider drawing a dust-proof charm on her shoes.
Aunt Cui walked into the house excitedly and said to Li Lijun: "Little madam, I just heard the news in the lobby ahead. Yesterday, the Pei family set a fire on the road in front of Qiaoling, and the official road was destroyed.
It’s burnt black!”
Mrs. Shao and Er Hong were both shocked by the news. They both turned around and asked, "What?!"
Li Lijun pretended to be surprised and said: "What's going on? Are the Pei family crazy? How dare you make such a fuss in the imperial mausoleum?!"
"That's what the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum said. Someone came to look for Lin Silang early in the morning and specially told him the news." Grandma Cui said, "Now even people in Fengxian County have heard about it, and some people came specially to tell him the news.
I ran to see the burn marks. I heard they were hundreds of feet away, but they were very conspicuous!"
Hundreds of feet? Is it such an exaggeration? Li Lijun was very sure that when she left last night, the fire dragon was only twenty or thirty feet long.
When Aunt Cui heard about her benefactor Lin Jiulang being injured by the Pei family, she always disliked his family. At this time, she was very happy to see the misfortune of his family: "The officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum put it to death in the middle of the night.
The Pei family's group was detained and no one was let go. I don't know if anyone went back to Chang'an City to report to the Pei family."
Er Hong spread his wet hands and widened his eyes: "Is it possible that they failed to catch Lin Jiajiulang yesterday and asked someone to escape. They were feeling suffocated, so they deliberately set off such a fire to vent their anger?!"
Mrs. Shao retorted: "How is that possible?! That's the imperial mausoleum! Has the Pei family eaten the courage of a bear and a leopard? Why not go somewhere else to vent your anger?!"
Li Lijun took the opportunity to say: "I will have breakfast in the lobby today. Grandma and Erhong, please accompany me and let Uncle Shen know."
Er Hong quickly handed over the shoes to the rough lady, and hurriedly washed her hands and came over. Madam Shao glared at her and said nothing. In fact, she was very curious about such a big matter. If not
There was no one left in the room to look after the luggage, and she wanted to go to the front lobby to listen to the news.
Li Lijun has been eating in her room every day since she stayed in this inn. This is the first time she has come back to the lobby outside, and she feels quite fresh in her heart. The proprietress of the inn knows that she has an unusual status and doesn't care about her at all.
Wearing heavy filial piety, when he saw her coming out, he diligently came forward to greet her and led her to a relatively quiet corner.
Li Shen was sitting at the next table. He didn't need Li Lijun to send anyone to invite him. He heard the news first and hurried to the lobby to listen to the excitement. Seeing Li Lijun coming, he simply came over to sit with her and whispered to her,
The latest news I heard from my colleague Lin Shiro.
Several young children of the Pei family went to worship at the tomb of Princess Xue yesterday. They only did some cleaning and weeding work. They were scheduled to go to pay tribute again today, but in the middle of the night, the officers and soldiers guarding the bridge mausoleum discovered that his family's carriage was at the main entrance of the cemetery.
A fire broke out on the road in front of me, dragging out a long fire dragon.
When the officers and soldiers rushed to put out the fire, they found that the cause of the fire was that the last carriage contained several large jars of wine. The carriage was bumpy when it was running, and the wine jars were broken. The wine flowed out and spilled on the road. However, this carriage's
The lantern was knocked to the ground again, and as soon as the light touched the wine, it started to burn. The Xue family's entourage and guards focused on the young men in the first few cars and were alert to the surrounding environment. When they discovered the fire, they
It's too late.
The strange thing is that the wine didn't look too big, and there was no fuel to fuel the fire. Only a few bolts of silk and satin in the carriage were damaged, but they couldn't be extinguished no matter how hard they tried. The officers and soldiers fetched water and shoveled
The fire was covered with earth, but the fire still could not be extinguished, and it burned until early morning before gradually extinguishing itself. Although the carriage containing wine and most of the things in the carriage were badly burned by the fire, they still looked recognizable and were not reduced to coke. The bridge
The officers and soldiers in the mausoleum were discussing privately that the fire was burning strangely, and they didn't know which god the Pei family had offended!
Li Shen sneered and said: "The leading young man from the Pei family was very arrogant. The smell of alcohol was still on his body, so he shouted that the wine was used to sacrifice Princess Xue. Now they have been ruined by the gangsters. He will definitely pursue it to the end.
. He also said that this matter was caused by someone who was deliberately trying to harm them, and that it was probably the Lin brothers who did it. And because Lin Silang served in Qiaoling, he also said that the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum were colluding with Lin Silang and deliberately framed him. The officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum couldn't listen.
After arresting people, he is still shouting that everyone will die miserably!"
That boy is really looking for death!
Li Lijun sneered: "If you want to put the blame on others, you must have evidence. The fire started strangely, and it happened to burn in front of the imperial mausoleum. The people who came to sweep the tomb smelled of alcohol and were not respectful at all.
