Chapter 397
"Madam, my lord has returned, saying that tonight's dinner will be placed in the Loyalty Pavilion, and you will come and dine together."
"I'll go over here."
Xiao Nan glanced at the potted plant that had been trimmed into a bald head by himself, and put down the scissors in his hand in a daze.
He clapped his hands and followed the visitor to the Loyalty Pavilion.
Wu Renqing was already sitting there, as if he was waiting for Xiao Nan.
There were ordinary dishes on the table, and as soon as Xiao Nan sat down, Wu Renqing waved away all his subordinates.
As far as the eye can see, except for the scenery, there is not a single figure to be seen.
At this time, Xiao Nan recalled what Wu Renqing said, "It seems that you can't stay either." "
So fast?
You want to poison me?
"Why don't you move your chopsticks?" Wu Renqing sandwiched the dishes on each plate into his own small plate in front of Xiao Nan.
Xiao Nan straightened his long sleeves: "You said something like that yesterday, I can't always be wary of you doing it."
Wu Renqing hooked his lips mockingly: "If I really want you to die, why bother."
Wu Renqing ate his own dishes, and said in a voice that Xiao Nan could just hear: "Eat, the official is still waiting for you to leave Xuanzhou, go to the capital to sue the imperial state, and let people convict the official and take the official's head." "
This?
While saying that he wanted Xiao Nan to die, he said something like this.
Xiao Nan slowly picked up the chopsticks and ate the dishes on the plate that Wu Renqing had sandwiched.
What kind of medicine is sold in this Wu Renqing gourd?
Halfway through eating, Shiyuan took his subordinates to light the lamp and retreated.
Xiao Nan raised his eyes and saw that it was almost dark.
I don't know how Daoyi's preparations were.
Suddenly, Xiao Nan felt an itch on his trachea, he subconsciously covered his throat and coughed, and after a few seconds, the itchy place just now seemed to have a membrane blocking his breathing.
Xiao Nan opened his mouth and gasped for breath, a mask of pain.
"You, you step on the horse! Poison! Xiao Nan stared at the man sitting opposite, waved his hand and painfully swept down the dishes, tea cups, and wine glasses on the table.
Wu Renqing did not panic at all, and when Xiao Nan fell to the ground, he slowly stood up and approached step by step.
Xiao Nan struggled with his last strength, put his hand into his sleeve, groped his way to hold the signal cigarette and slowly moved out.
.
Daoyi had changed back into women's clothes and had just stepped into the gate of the Taishou Mansion.
Everything was arranged, and it took a lot of time to prepare things on the fly.
He looked up at the direction of the firewood room, it should be soon!
I don't know what happened to Xiao Nan's side, someone reported that Wu Renqing had returned to Taishou Mansion in the afternoon.
Although the smoke that sent Xiao Nan's distress signal did not come out, Dao Yi's heart always felt faintly uneasy.
At this moment, he quickened his pace and trotted towards Xiao Nan's residence.
.
Ah Sheng led people to squat at the point given by Daoyi, and at this time, seeing that the time was ripe, he gave the brothers a code.
Eight men flew out of the nearest spot with an oil can in one hand, smashed it into the firewood room, and fled with the shouts of an assassin.
Immediately after, countless arrows stained with fire oil burned and shot out from all directions, and the firewood brush burst into flames.
Ah Sheng sounded the signal to retreat, and soon, his people disappeared without a trace.
.
"Plop~" As soon as Wu Renqing pushed Xiao Nan into the pond outside the Loyalty Pavilion, he saw the direction of the firewood house stringing up the sky.
The sound of catching assassins, the sound of walking water to fight fires...
It's noisy.
His face was light and light, and he didn't seem to care very much.
At this time, Shiyuan ran over anxiously: "My lord, it's not good, there are thieves entering the house, the target is directly at the firewood room, and now the fire is soaring, I'm afraid that the thing is..."
Wu Renqing: "I know, you go and scoop up the lady, I drank a few more glasses with the official before, and I fell into the water."
Shiyuan was shocked, frowned and lowered his head and said, "Yes!" "
I knew that this day would come sooner or later, but it was a different girl!
Shiyuan jumped down in the direction of Wu Renqing's finger.
At this time, Wu Renqing took out a signal cigarette from his sleeve, which was the one that Xiao Nan held in his hand just now, and he lost his breath before he could release it.
The guards in the mansion rushed to fetch water to extinguish the fire, and no one noticed the situation on the side of the Loyal Pavilion.
He lit the signal cigarette.
.
"Where's Madame?" Dao Yi searched around and didn't see where Xiao Nan was, so he grabbed a maid who was scurrying around in a hurry and asked.
"It's okay, it's okay, Mrs. and Lord are dining in the Loyalty Pavilion, and they haven't come to the firewood room!"
At this time, the fire in the firewood room is getting bigger and bigger, and it is slowly expanding to the side.
At this time, Dao Yi, who turned his head to look in the direction of the Loyalty Pavilion, saw a vertical of blue light rushing towards the night sky with a roar, and was quickly covered by the firelight over there.
His whole body immediately became nervous, and he rushed towards the pavilion regardless of it.
When he arrived, Wu Renqing was already gone.
He saw Shiyuan carrying Xiao Nan out of the water.
"Xiao Nan!" He shouted and rushed over.
helped pull Xiao Nan up on the edge of the pond.
Dao Yi slapped Xiao Nan's face: "Wake up, wake up!"
The corners of his eyes were red, and he knelt beside Xiao Nan with red eyes, and beat Xiao Nan's heart hard: "Wake up, Xiao Nan, you wake up!"
Shiyuan stood aside, surprised that the maid overreacted, and sighed sadly: "When I surfaced, I had already tried it, Mrs. She..."
Realizing something, Daoyi's breathing seemed to be blocked by something for a moment, and he felt like he was having trouble breathing.
"One by one, mourning!"
Soon, several guards with knives surrounded the Loyalty Pavilion.
Half an hour later, Dao Yi stretched out his hand and placed it under Xiao Nan's nose.
He paused for a long time and didn't try to breathe.
His face was whiter than Xiao Nan's for a moment.
Dao Yi sat back decadently: Really
, dead!
Obviously, I was fine before I went out.
Obviously, he talked and laughed with me in the morning...
"Come on, carry the lady down and prepare for the future!" Shiyuan's voice fell, and soon a little guy stepped forward.
Taking advantage of the fact that Dao Yi was stunned in place, he lifted Xiao Nan up.
When Dao Yi came back to his senses, those people had already carried Xiao Nan out of more than ten meters away.
"Stop!" Daoyi quickly stood up.
Xiao Nan's body can't be placed in the Taishou Mansion, he has to bring it back to His Royal Highness.
Seeing that this maid's expression was wrong, Shiyuan immediately ordered: "Stop her!" Dao
Yi kicked one by one and flew away from the little guy who came forward to stop him.
Shiyuan's shocked words pulled him back a little bit: "A maid, where can you get so much strength, a few more!"
He collapsed and grabbed the little guy who stepped forward: "Don't touch me, Xiao Nan won't die, pick up the adult, pick up the adult, please ask my young lady to come over and take a look, he won't die, he won't..."
"Don't, Lord Shi, please find a doctor for Miss, you will definitely be able to save people!" The knife was pulled away by the little guy half-supported and half-pulled.
Xiao Nan was carried away.
Daoyi's body suddenly hung in the air, and he was hugged horizontally by a small guy.
"Yiyi, don't be sad, this is your young lady's life." Shiyuan, who had already left the sight of Shiyuan here, only then did the little guy speak to comfort.
Dao Yi jumped down all of a sudden: "Who allowed you to hold me?"
"Last time you slept at the door, I also carried you in, although you are a little heavy, but I will not dislike you." The little girl lowered her head and looked a little embarrassed: "Madame went, if you don't have a place to go in the future, I can take care of you!"
Dao Yi suddenly thought of something and ran violently.
"Huh? Did I scare her? The little guy was blaming himself, and was pulled by his companion: "Don't chase it yet!"
Daoyi quickly ran to Shiyuan and knelt down, crying and pleading: "Lord Shi, woo woo woo~ people can't be resurrected after death, Miss treated me very well before, can you leave the matter of tidying up to the slave maid."
Seeing that Shiyuan didn't speak, Daoyi continued: "Let the slave maid repay the young lady one last time, and give her a ride one last time!"
Shiyuan helped the kneeling man up: "That's it, you are a loyal person, and the matter of tidying up can be handed over to you, as long as you can figure it out." "
Thank you, Lord Shi."
"I've already sent someone to report to Master Li overnight, you can go down and get things in order." After Shiyuan finished arranging the things here, he hurriedly went to the firewood room to keep an eye on it.
The fire over there seemed to be difficult to control, and Lord Wu rushed over for a while.
Shiyuan stood next to Wu Renqing, and the eyes of both of them were blazing fires.
"How's it going, what's unusual?" Wu Renqing's eyes never left the firewood room, and his face was solemn.
If Wu Renqing didn't guess wrong, this lady's signal smoke should be a signal for help.
Shiyuan: "It's handled, there is no abnormality." "
? Originally, I thought that Xiao Nan might have been inserted by someone else, but there is no abnormality at this time, but it is possible that the abnormality has not come yet.
"When the fire is extinguished here, send more people to guard the lady."
Shiyuan rarely questioned Wu Renqing's arrangement, and he nodded yes.
Daoyi sat on a chair, surrounded by prepared contouring tools and shrouds.
He looked at the person lying in front of him, and his heart was very sad.
Find a way to get the people next to you out, and only the two of them are left in the house at the moment.
He endured his grief and peeled off Xiao Nan's wet dress one by one.
When I saw a finch growing there, I was stunned for ten seconds.
"It turns out that you are not..."
"Heh~" Dao Yi smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I won't live long, and when the matter here is dealt with, I will go underground to accompany you."
He brushed Xiao Nan's hair, wiped his body, and whispered to him in his heart.
Finally, when everything was cleaned up, Dao Yi leaned close to Xiao Nan's ear and said, "Brother, you go slower, wait for me."
Dao Yi carefully carried Xiao Nan into the coffin that had been prepared in the mourning hall, and when he came out, it was already the fourth watch.
The fire on the other side of the firewood room was almost extinguished, and when Dao Yi went over to look, Wubo's eyes swept over the several subordinate rooms that were implicated.
Finally landed on the stone slab.
The boxes that were supposed to be for the funeral of the lady were rescued from the fire, and some people were doing the counting.
When Dao Yi walked over, Shiyuan stood up and wanted to block his sight: "Madame's got it over there?" "
Yes, the slave and maid asked for a wake-up for the lady, and the slave and maid were worried that he would be alone and bored. On the day of the funeral, let me accompany my wife.
Shiyuan's face was a little moved, the maids of the previous ladies were afraid that they would be affected, most of them absconded after the accident, and some were taken back.
He comforted: "You go and guard, but the deceased is gone, and maybe, she wants you to live well." Dao
Yi retreated and went straight to the mourning hall.
The flag sail flew in the mourning hall, and Xiao Nan lay coldly in the coffin motionless.
Daoyi took filial piety and knelt beside the brazier to burn paper money.
He was accompanied by a rooster under the coffin and an oil lamp that could not be extinguished.
Dao Yi felt the coldness around him, his eyes staring at the burning paper money in the brazier, and when he approached with the new paper money in his hand, he could feel a little bit of scorching.
At this time, he didn't seem to be so afraid of ghosts.
"Come to me and tell me everything that happened."
.
In the early morning of the second day, Shiyuan, who hadn't slept all night, stood behind Wu Renqing, who was eating, and whispered: "My lord, the people below have checked all night, and there is no trace of the assassins.
"Keep investigating, starting with the source of the arrow." Wu Renqing wiped his mouth with a silk cloth and stood up: "You go down and rest for a while, you worked hard last night, have the monks arrived?"
"It's expected to arrive in the afternoon. can share the worries of adults, and pick up yuan without getting tired, there is one more thing..."
Wu Renqing has already stepped out of the threshold, and it seems to be in the direction of the mourning hall: "You say."
Shiyuan followed and whispered: "Madame's maid is a loyal one, she said that on the day of the funeral, she wanted to be Madame's funeral companion."
Wu Renqing paused, thought for a moment and said, "This little thing, you can just look at it."
Wu Renqing stepped into the mourning hall and saw the maid kneeling without saying a word, mechanically repeating the action of burning paper.
He turned to the coffin and stared inside for ten minutes before leaving.
When Li Chong came with people, it was exactly the hour, and after receiving the news, he arranged the matter and rushed to come immediately.
"Daughter, my good daughter, why did you leave, you left so suddenly, what will I do with this old bone in the future?" Li Chong lay on the side of the coffin and reached in to look at Xiao Nan's body.
"Sir! Woo woo, it's me who didn't take a good look at Miss, you punish me! Dao Yi rushed over and knelt beside Li Chong, Li Chong bent down and helped the person up with tears, and the two cried together.
The old man, who couldn't stand the blow, fainted, and Daoyi asked people to guard the mourning hall and put Li Chong in the room next to him to rest.
After closing the door, Li Chong immediately woke up, hurriedly stepped forward to hold Daoyi's hand, and his anxious eyebrows twisted into twist: "What's the matter!" Outside
, there were people brought by Li Chong who watched, and said righteously: "In the house, everyone said that Mrs. was drunk and fell into the pond and drowned.
However, I examined Xiao Nan's body, and there were no bruises on his body, and there were no signs of poisoning, but it seemed that he had lost his breath before falling into the water. "
