The general's wife through time

Chapter 160 Cutting out the roots
Xue Tang and others walked quickly on the street and found that the closer they got to Jingzhao Mansion, the more people there were. By the time they arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, Jingzhao Mansion was already surrounded by crowds.

Seeing Xue Tang, someone shouted immediately, "The general's wife is here, catch her quickly. All our children were arrested because of her. If something happens to the children inside, we must not let her go first." ”

Captain Fang quickly drew out his saber, his anger dropped, and he shouted loudly: "Those children are in prison because of murder and arson. If they are investigated, it's because you family members didn't teach them well. What does it have to do with the general's wife? Get out of the way!"

The four detectives behind her were too lazy to talk nonsense. They looked cold and drew their sabers directly.

Si Wei said sternly: "Anyone who blocks my official will be treated as a mob and punished!"

The scene immediately became quiet.

Kunning Palace.

Xiao Wei said in a brisk tone while giving the Queen Mother a leg, "You are still smarter."

"Have you learned?"

"I learned it! Although I don't know how Xue Tang saw the clues, even if Si Wei opened the way, it would be too late by the time they passed. In addition, there was too much resentment gathered within the family during this period. This time Xue Tang and Shangguan Xun are all doomed."

The Queen Mother didn't pay attention to the Gu family at all. The reason why she sent the secret message to the Gu family was to divert everyone's attention and buy time for the people in prison.

Once the people in the prison get their hands on it, Xue Tang will have a bad reputation for meddling in other people's homes and causing unrest in other people's homes. Shangguan Xun will neglect his duties. When the time comes, people from the Queen Mother's faction will write a letter of impeachment together, and Emperor Jingkang will forget it. No matter how protective I am, I can't find any reason to excuse them, not to mention, the Queen Mother has gained more than that...

"Sir, there has been a change in the prison!" Agent Fang had no time to explain. When he entered the Jingzhao Mansion, he saw Shangguan Xun shouting and continued straight to the prison. No matter how the general's wife knew it, she believed it anyway.

As soon as everyone approached the door of the cell, a strong smell of blood hit their faces.

The prison was eerily quiet at the moment.

Seeing the cell leader outside the gate sleeping soundly with the key in his arms, Capt. Li kicked him over and knocked him over, "Idiot!"

The cell leader's head hit the wall nearby, making a banging sound. Suddenly awakened, he saw the person coming clearly and hurriedly knelt on the ground, covering his mouth, not even daring to utter a exclamation.

"It's still a step too late." Xue Tang stopped outside the prison and stared at the door. A cold light flashed in her eyes. She pursed her lips and said, "Sir Shangguan, go and do your work. I will wait for you outside, leaving these agents behind." Just protect me.”

Stay outside?

Do you want police protection?

Anyone who knows Xue Tang knows that she is never pretentious, so there must be a deeper meaning in saying this.

Shangguan Xun turned around and ordered, "Captain Fang, please bring someone to protect the general's wife. Mr. Si and Capt. Li will go in with me to check."

The three of them rushed in, and the rapid footsteps woke up the prisoners locked outside. However, they had seen too many overnight interrogations, so they turned over and continued to sleep.

When the three of them arrived at the prison where the young eunuchs were imprisoned, no one was left inside. Only a few pools of blood were left on the ground. There were also dense insect corpses lying in the blood. The imprisoned Qin Yuan family, shopkeeper Xie, and My aunt also turned into pools of blood.

Not far away, Wei Shengmiao was lying on the ground holding her belly, her eyes bulging, her face distorted, and there was a pool of blood under her body. It seemed that he had seen something so frightening that he was so frightened that he had difficulty giving birth, killing one and two.

The maid and the boy who were locked up with her also disappeared, leaving a mess on the ground.

Yuan Weiming huddled in the corner, his eyes were dull, and there was a stench under his body. He looked like a dead person from a distance, but Si Wei and Shangguan Xun were both masters and could tell that Yuan Weiming was still breathing.

Si Wei's body was filled with murderous intent, but the anger did not erode his sanity. He took one look at the scene and made a guess:

These people were poisoned, but Yuan Weiming and Wei Shengmiao were not poisoned. This may be because Xue Tang gave them poison before they were put in prison. He also threatened the old Gu master to help these two people remove the poison. , the old Gu master may have detoxified all the poisons in their bodies, so these people were poisoned before they were imprisoned, and the person who poisoned them may be their acquaintances...

So far, the only relevant witnesses in the arms smuggling case are Yuan Weiming, who has a bad mind, and Lian Wenjia, who is being protected in secret and knows little about it. What a sinister means.

Shangguan Xun clenched his fists and stood still for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Bad luck! Capt. Li, burn both corpses inside!"

"Yes!" Captou Li had been partners with Guan Xun for many years. Of course he understood Shangguan Xun's unfulfilled intentions and immediately dragged Yuan Weiming and Wei Shengmiao to the huge fire pit behind the prison that was used to dispose of corpses.

Pei Mansion.

Pei Jian and Xie sat beside the bed, comforting each other.

Pei Jian: "They deserved their death."

Ms. Xie: "Especially the little nephew who went in a few days ago. Although he was a bastard, he was able to personally sprinkle the powder that triggered the poison in their bodies and died generously. I will treat his aunt well in the future. These people will be gone if they are gone. The master will cultivate a new batch. Although my mother gave such an order, it is a bit unkind, but it is also to prevent us from being exposed. "

Pei Jian: "There shouldn't be any fish that slip through the net, right?"

Ms. Xie: "How could it be? When they joined, the master invited their whole family to dinner, and I gave them the poison myself. Those little eunuchs even drank the poison while my mother watched them drink it. Even if If you don’t trust others, you must also trust my mother and me. As for shopkeeper Xie and Yuan Weiming, they brought their wives to the banquet because they were not close to their wives. But since they were not close to their wives, they He would not reveal such an important thing to them, so everyone who knew about it must be dead..."

……

In order not to arouse the suspicion of the enemy, Xue Tang and Si Wei returned to Si's house without delay.

But they saw the old lady of the Si family, Aunt Yu, Qin Mingshu, Qin Mingrui, Qin Mingyue, Qin Mingqi, and even Si Fangyun, all sitting in a line on the steps of the gate. The chairs and brazier brought by the servants were left to dry and became decorations.

"Mr. Si, sister-in-law, are you back?" Qin Mingyue stood up suddenly, threw herself directly on Xue Tang, and started checking for injuries without saying a word.

Others stood up as well.

Xue Tang raised his hand and touched Qin Mingyue's head, "I'm fine."

But when several people looked at Xue Tang and Si Wei's gloomy expressions, they didn't seem to be okay at all.

"Old lady, it's too late today. We are going back now. You should also go back and rest. It's cold outside. Be careful." Xue Tang said no more. After saying goodbye to the old lady, he took his family back to the general. Mansion.

In Si Wei's study, the old lady listened to the whole story and tightened her fingers holding the beads, "So, that witch had plotted both the Si family and the Qin family from the beginning. If the girl Xue Tang hadn't happened to interfere, The ending, we don’t know where it is now. Judging from today’s events, she should be targeting Xue Tang. She just bullies Xue Tang and doesn’t have a man to protect her. Send your personal bodyguard to the general’s mansion. Stay for a few days.”

"What?" Si Wei looked at my mother in disbelief, thinking that he heard wrongly.

The old lady of the Si family rolled her eyes at him, "You heard me right. The people around you know how to behave and will not make the people in the General's Mansion feel uncomfortable."

Si Wei: "..."

Mother, weren't you aware that your son was also being targeted?
"Mother, although my martial arts skills are not weak enough to protect myself, and my life will not be in danger when traveling, you and Fang Yun also need someone to protect you. I can send three people. In addition, there are experts in the General's Mansion. If we send too many, we will be in trouble. People think we question their abilities.”

"That's okay, just look at the arrangements!"

Seeing Si Wei sitting there and not moving, the old lady of the Si family couldn't help but add, "Humph, you have summoned all the spies from the north, don't think I don't know! Summoning them back proves that Qin Xiao is fine. You don't want to tell me." Qin Xiao’s current situation doesn’t matter, I’ll ask Xue Tang personally when I find a chance to live in the General’s Mansion.”

Si Wei was stunned by the sudden topic.

He was really unjust. He didn't know Qin Xiao's current situation. He called people back all because Xue Tang said that Qin Xiao was safe and there was no need to look for him anymore...
