Chapter 189
Shiwuniang brought Wei Ziwu, who was in charge of the martial arts gym, over.
Wei Ziwu cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my lady."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Wei Langjun is right here, do you know what's going on here?"
Wei Ziwu glanced at Chong Wu who was in Xiao Yuzhuo's arms.
Chongwu immediately cried louder.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, she let go of Chong Wu, got up and looked at the ruined house.
The fire was basically extinguished by now.
The teachers and students who rescued and extinguished the fire were all disheartened.
"Please excuse me, lady." Wei Ziwu was rarely so serious.
Xiao Yuzhuo knew that things might not be simple, besides, Xiao Chongwu had been holding her thigh and crying, standing here and talking, it really didn't look like it.
"Wei Langjun, this way please."
"My lady please."
Shiwu Niang also accompanied her. After all, there was a safety issue in the school, and she was also responsible.
When he arrived at the house, Xiao Chongwu was coaxed away by Ju Xiang and Mei Xiang.
Wei Ziwu cupped his hands and said: "The house caught fire, it was the time when the students were in class, and there was no one in the dormitory, so no one was injured. Only Mr. Xiao Lang sprained his ankle."
This is suspicious.
During class time, everyone else is listening to lectures and reading books.
Why did Chongwu sprain his feet in the bedroom?
He was in the first class, and he didn't live in the dormitory of the school at all. What did he do there?
"Someone saw that it was Mr. Xiao Lang who threw kindling into the dormitory, and then he ran too fast and sprained his ankle. After the dormitory was on fire, the fire was not very big at first, but suddenly there was a loud bang, which brought the nearby All the houses have been destroyed." Wei Ziwu said.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "Sure enough, there was an explosion?"
"Explosion?" Wei Ziwu looked up at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Just like the firecrackers we set off during Chinese New Year, the house is like the bamboo tube that exploded, instantly, boom—"
"That's right, it's exactly what the lady said. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no students nearby, what would be damaged today would not only be houses?" Wei Ziwu also had a look of fear on his face as he spoke.
Why rebuild a house when it is destroyed.
Loss of money is trivial.
But if a person is injured, he only lives once.
Xiao Yuzhuo covered his heart, "At Chongwu he..."
"Xiao Langjun lost the tinder and ran away. At that time, he had already run out of the yard and was not injured. The guards in the yard saw that something was wrong. Fortunately, he was very skillful and dodged quickly, and he was not injured." Wei Ziwu said, "It's just that That...the explosion frightened people so much that they didn't dare to step forward to put out the fire for a while, so the fire was extinguished a little slower and burned more house items."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded again and again, "It's right to be cautious, money is something outside the body."
The room fell silent.
There is a bit of shock in the eyes of the individual.
"What about Chongwu?" Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly got up and asked.
Her cold expression startled both Wei Ziwu and Shiwuniang.
Shiwu Niang hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, Chong Wu is still a child..."
"A child dares to set fire. If he is allowed to grow up like this, wouldn't the sky be turned upside down?!" Xiao Yuzhuo gritted his teeth.
It seems that the review he was asked to write earlier was all for nothing!
Xiao Yuzhuo asked someone to drag Chong Wu to the courtyard, didn't he know how to respect himself at a young age?
Then let him admit his mistake in front of everyone, so that he can remember it long in the eyes of everyone!
Many people stood in the yard, including husbands and many students.
Chong Wu was pulled down to the center of the yard, under the attention of everyone.
He really has a good face, everyone looked at him, he was crying, but now he sniffed and held back.
"There is water in the dormitory today, what's going on?" Shiwu Niang glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo and asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo was Chongwu's mother, she stood aside to avoid suspicion, and did not intervene.
Xiao Chongwu muffled, "I set the fire."
He dared to act boldly and admitted it readily!
Xiao Yuzhuo's chest rose and fell.
"Why did you set fire to the dormitory?" Shiwu Niang asked with a frown.
"Because they... they should be taught a lesson!" Chong Wu suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Yuzhuo, then lowered his head and said.
"Who are they?" Fifteen Niang asked.
Chong Wu didn't speak.
Wei Ziwu went to inquire and picked out the students who lived in the dormitory where he threw himself into the fire.
These three students are not very old, the oldest is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.The smaller one may be only eleven or twelve.
The three of them have delicate features, and they seem to be weak, not like any evil people.
"Are you going to take revenge on the three of them?" Fifteen Niang asked in surprise.
Xiao Chongwu stood beside the three boys, only half their height, and he really didn't look like he could have any enmity with them.
Doesn't a child of this age fight with children of his own age as often as possible?
"It's them." Xiao Chongwu nodded.
Xiao Yuzhuo gasped, really?
"Why do you say they should be punished?" Shiwu Niang asked with a frown.
Xiao Chongwu turned his head and glared at those students, but he pursed his lips and refused to speak.
It was straightforward to admit it just now, so why don't you say it now?
"If there is no reason, you will be punished!" Shiwu Niang asked urgently, wanting him to give a reason.
Although Chong Wu is lively and willful on weekdays, he is not an unreasonable child.
He just made some small mistakes from time to time, so he definitely wouldn't do the thing of setting fire to the house.
Fifteen Niang persuaded again and again, but he pursed his lips and refused to speak.
"Since he won't say it, why don't you tell me?" Shiwu Niang looked at the three older students again, "He is young, and he is still a child in the enlightenment class, so why does he have any relationship with you older children?" Enmity, so that you have to burn down your house?"
Those three students looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads and not speaking.
Fifteen Niang was a little anxious, she glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo.
Both sides refused to say that the person who set the fire was Chong Wu, and the one who was punished in the end must be Chong Wu?
"Chongwu, you have to know that if you refuse to say anything, you will be punished severely. Even...even if you are my child, you can't be special." Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Chongwu and said.
Little Chongwu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Daddy said that a man should be responsible in his life and work. It was my son who set the fire, and he is willing to be punished."
"But if you can tell the reason, maybe the sentence can be reduced or exempted. Aniang knows that you are not a child who doesn't care about right and wrong, right?" Xiao Yuzhuo coaxed.
Chong Wu was very stubborn at the moment, "Don't ask, A Niang, I have no reason."
Xiao Yuzhuo was a little annoyed, "He dared to set fire and commit murder at a young age. He knew he was wrong, but he didn't tell the truth. He was stubborn. Let's punish according to the school's rules! No one is allowed to intercede!"
Fifteen Niang's complexion was a little bad, so she discussed with some elders from the school.
"According to the rules, [-] boards will be played, and the student status will be removed, and you will not be able to enter the Jingyi Wenwu Hall." Shiwu Niang whispered to Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "I have no objection."
As soon as Shiwu Niang announced the result of the discussion, there was a lot of discussion below.
Thirty boards, can he bear this kid who is still in the elementary class?
"I would like to be beaten, I beg my aunt not to expel me, I like the academy..." Chong Wu's eye circles were a little red.
At the beginning, he begged his mother for a long time in order to enter the hall.
This enlightenment class was only opened for him.
Now that there are more and more children in the enlightenment class, he is leaving?
Going back home again, shaking your head and reading and practicing calligraphy in front of that boring husband?
"Aniang, hit me, you can hit me a few more times, don't fire me, I don't want to leave here..." Chong Wu begged with tears in his eyes.
There are also many children who have a good relationship with Chongwu in the elementary class.
Chong Wu likes to be the king of children, some children who have been bullied on weekdays, Chong Wu likes to stand up for them.
Now Chongwu was going to be punished, and some children who had been beaten and hugged by Chongwu couldn't stand up anymore, and came out one after another to intercede for Chongwu.
Zhou Changkang also encouraged others, and he stood with Chong Wu himself, "Chong Wu is my brother, I am willing to be punished together with my brother, I just hope that the school will be lenient and don't rush Chong Wu."
Xiao Yuzhuo squinted at Chongwu.
If he was really stubborn, there would definitely not be so many children willing to speak well for him.
Although he is naughty, he also has his own connections.It can be seen that it is not a child who is right and wrong.
How could you do something like set fire to it?
"Students are not in their own halls during the school's class time. What's going on here?" Suddenly, a loud and steady voice came from outside the crowd.
Hearing this voice, Chong Wu was immediately overjoyed, and he turned to look out.
The crowd automatically split into a lane.
The person who spoke slowly walked into the circle formed by the crowd from outside.
"Daddy, beg Daddy to intercede for the child..." Chong Wu immediately rushed up and hugged his thigh.
Jing Yannian glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo suspiciously.
Shiwu Niang is the person in charge of the academy, and when she saw Jing Yannian appearing in the academy in military uniform, she knew that he represented the imperial court, so she quickly asked, "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Wu came suddenly?"
"Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses heard people report that there was a loud bang in the south of the city. They reported the matter for fear of disturbing the holy driver, so I took a look. What's the reason for the loud noise?" Jing Yannian had just finished speaking.
Chongwu let go of the hand holding his lap, and quietly took two steps back, widening the distance between him and his father.
The eyes of the crowd focused on Chong Wu again.
Now it's all right, it doesn't matter if he set fire to it, it was originally an internal matter of the academy, now even the charge of "disturbing the holy driver" is about to come out.
After Jing Yannian asked, he found that the scene was unusually quiet. He glanced around, and his eyes also fell on Chong Wu.
"What's going on?" He looked at Chong Wu and asked.
Chong Wu held back his mouth, "I set the fire and burned down the house..."
Jing Yannian frowned, "You?"
"Daddy hits me if he wants to beat him, and punishes him if he wants to. I beg Daddy to intercede with Auntie and Auntie so that the school will not drive me away..." Chongwu said with a pout.
Looking at Xiao Yuzhuo's expression, Jing Yannian saw that his wife's face was gloomy.
"Why did you set the fire?" Jing Yannian asked.
His own son, he knew it, definitely wasn't the one who made trouble out of nothing?
"If he is willing to say it, how did this situation come about?" Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly.
Jing Yannian's eyes darkened, "I didn't tell you, a man should take responsibility? If you have the courage to do things, but you don't have the courage to admit it, what kind of man are you?"
Chong Wu glanced at his father with grievances, and lowered his head.
"I... I have a reason! It's... I just can't say it here!" Chong Wu glanced at the three older students.
The eyes of the three students were a little dodged.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be something hidden here.
"If you don't want to say it, then you have to bear the result. No matter how you punish, it's your own choice." Jing Yannian said slowly, "Even Daddy, you can't play favoritism."
Chong Wu glanced at him reluctantly.
Fifteen Niang had someone carry the bench for punishment.
Chong Wu was pressed on the bench.
The underwear on the buttocks was ripped open.
Although he was young, he also felt ashamed, and his face turned red immediately.
A martial arts master stepped forward holding the torture board.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes showed a look of unbearable.
She frowned and tried to avoid it.
Jing Yannian suddenly took a step forward, "Wait!"
The master Wu who was in charge of the torture breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood aside.
If possible, he would really not want to take this job!
"You can't do favoritism, but His Highness the King of Wu said it himself." Xiao Yuzhuo stood aside and said with a sullen face.
Jing Yannian glanced at her, "It's not for selfishness, I don't teach my father's fault. Chongwu did something wrong in the academy. As a father, I will punish him first, and then I will go to the Ministry of War to receive the punishment myself."
Hearing the words, Chongwu immediately shouted, "One person does the work and the other person does the work. What I set on fire has nothing to do with daddy...ah..."
Jing Yannian didn't talk nonsense with him, and slapped his little butt with a wooden board.
Others thought that when Jing Yannian took over the board from Master Wu, he wanted to do it lightly.
Never thought about going down, Chong Wu's fair and immature buttocks turned red.
After ten boards passed, his buttocks were already swollen.
In the beginning, Chong Wu still gritted his teeth and carried it hard.
But after all, he was young, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he cried loudly, crying pitifully.
The children in the enlightenment class all started crying.
Even the older students secretly wiped their tears.
Zhou Changkang rushed forward to block Chong Wu, "I am willing to be punished for my brother... hit me, hit me..."
Jing Yannian winked at his followers.
Zhou Changkang was pulled aside.
Jing Yannian continued to fight...
Twenty boards hadn't been played yet, and Xiao Chongwu was already torn apart.
There was blood all over the board.
The three students whose dormitories were burned couldn't stand it any longer. They knelt down and begged for mercy, "I was also at fault, please be merciful, His Highness King Wu... be merciful..."
But Jing Yannian said: "Once the punishment starts, there is no reason to stop halfway. Even if you have something to say, let's wait until the punishment is over!"
Thirty boards are finished.
There is no good meat left on Chong Wu's butt.
His little face, which was flushed from the beginning, turned pale.
When Jing Yannian carried him off the bench, his legs couldn't stand at all.
The little face was full of tears.
"Do you hate daddy?" Jing Yannian asked in a low voice.
Chong Wu glanced at him sadly, but before he could speak, he rolled his eyes and passed out.
Jing Yannian quickly carried Chong Wu into the house.
Xiao Yuzhuo was also very frightened, and called Juxiang to go in for treatment.
Ju Xiang applied medicine to Chong Wu's buttocks, made a decoction and poured it down for him.
After tossing until evening, Chong Wu was sent back to Xiao's house.
The students whose three dormitories were burned were also placed alone in a small courtyard of the academy.
The yard is for gentlemen, but there are rooms available.
Chongwu was beaten to warn other students in the academy.
Before this matter is clarified, neither Chong Wu nor the three students can go back to class.
After returning to Xiao's house in Chongwu, the eldest princess knew what happened today.
She immediately rushed into Xiao Yuzhuo's courtyard, seeing her pale grandson lying on the bed, the eldest princess felt distressed and angry.
"Who hit it?" She came to the outside room and asked sharply.
Mei Xiang said in a low voice, "The lady called for the beating, but the gentleman did it."
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips helplessly.
The eldest princess was so angry that her eyes were red, "Okay, that's great! Are you a father and a mother? Do you treat your own son as an enemy? Huh? How old is he, and how big a mistake he can make? Is he beaten like this? You are going to take my life!"
The eldest princess began to cry after cursing.
The maids hurried forward to comfort her.
The eldest princess waved her sleeves and said angrily, "Go, get my whip!"
Others couldn't persuade her, and if they didn't get her a whip, she wanted to get it herself.
The servant girl had no choice but to fetch her long whip.
"Kneel down!" The eldest princess pointed at Xiao Yuzhuo with a long whip.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dare to disobey his mother's words, and quickly knelt down, "Aniang, calm down, don't be angry and ruin your body."
"Where's Jing Yannian? Tell him to come here too!" The eldest princess went into a rage.
"Lang Jun went to the Ministry of War to explain today's affairs." Zhu Xiang said quickly.
The eldest princess was slightly taken aback, "This matter has alarmed the Ministry of War?"
"Wucheng soldiers and horses received a report from someone saying that there was a loud bang in the south of the city. Wucheng soldiers and horses were afraid of taking responsibility, so they reported the matter." Zhuxiang explained.
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "It seems that there is no reason for him to have a heavy lunch? Did he want to borrow his son to hold this matter? This son is not the flesh that fell from him, he I really don't feel bad!"
"Aniang!" Xiao Yuzhuo looked upset.
"Shut up! What else do you have to say when you are a mother?" The eldest princess glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo impatiently, "Come on, wait outside the Prince Wu's Mansion and the Ministry of War. Where is Jing Yannian, tell him to roll over immediately!"
Jing Yannian had just explained the matter of the Chengnan Academy to the Ministry of War, and made it a minor matter, and pressed down on it.
Before he could catch his breath, he was invited to Xiao's house.
The eldest princess held a long whip and looked at him coldly, "King Wu is so majestic!"
He was dressed in military uniform, tall and tall, and he was really majestic.
But he saw that Xiao Yuzhuo was kneeling with his head bowed beside him, and the eldest princess's face was darkened.
He immediately understood, took off his cloak, and immediately knelt down next to Xiao Yuzhuo, "Mother, calm down, the military department has the intention to pursue today's matter. Someone has long coveted the Chengnan Academy, and planned to bring the academy opened by the Xiao family under the direct control of the imperial court. "
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.
The school of her and Shiwuniang must not be reduced to a tool of the court.
"It's inevitable that others will take advantage of today's events to create troubles, so Chong Wu's punishment is inevitable!" Jing Yannian said.
The eldest princess sneered, "There are many ways to keep the academy! If you insist on using your own son as a son, and beat such a young child into this appearance, to keep your own things, you are also parents. It's nothing!"
"Aniang, you can't say that. If it's not Chongwu's fault, you can't hit him today! Ask him yourself, what did he do in the academy when he was so young?" Xiao Yuzhuo said immediately.
But seeing that the Eldest Princess had a bad complexion, she didn't dare to speak too harshly, her tone was still gentle.
"If others don't provoke him, he will definitely not take the initiative to provoke others! Don't I understand the grandson I brought out by myself?" The eldest princess shook the long whip in her hand.
"If he is willing to say, today's fight will not fall on him..."
Before Xiao Yuzhuo finished speaking, the eldest princess became annoyed.
She flicked the long whip in her hand, "I didn't understand anything, so I beat him up first. I think you are also very confused, such stupid parents, if you don't beat you up, you will just have a mess in your head." Gooey!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the long whip came down with a snap.
Jing Yannian got up immediately and held Xiao Yuzhuo in his arms.
The long whip struck Jing Yannian's back with a very loud snap.
Ju Xiang came back with the prepared medicine, and when she entered the door, she saw the eldest princess beating someone.
She glanced at Mei Xiang, understood the matter, and quickly knelt down, "Princess, calm down, the general has a sense of measure, and the young man saw that his buttocks were seriously injured, all flesh wounds, and it will heal in three to five days." , no injuries..."
"Do you still dare to hurt your bones? My poor grandson, if you hurt your bones, I...I will..." She held a whip and looked at Jing Yannian and Xiao Yuzhuo gnashing her teeth.
Jing Yannian frowned, arched his back, and held Xiao Yuzhuo tightly in his arms.
The eldest princess was angry and angry, and after whipping her whip, she calmed down a lot.
Knowing this, there is a lot of trouble. If you don't have a heavy lunch, you may not be able to deal with business in many aspects.
She threw down the whip with a snap, turned around and went to the inner room angrily.
Chong Wu was lying on the bed at the moment, half-closed his eyes.
Seeing that he woke up, the eldest princess hurried forward, "My little boy, does your butt still hurt?"
Chong Wu nodded aggrievedly.
The eldest princess leaned over to the bed and said in a low voice: "It's not that your father and mother are cruel, don't blame them..."
She spoke in a very low voice, as if she didn't want the two people outside to hear her.
Chong Wu nodded obediently, "Grandma, I know."
"Well, dear, tell grandma, why did you set fire to those students' dormitories? Do you know that their dormitories are also the houses of the academy? If it burns out, the one who suffers the loss is not the academy." ? You like the school the most, and grandma knows that if there is no reason, you will definitely not do this, right?" The voice of the eldest princess is very gentle.
This gentle voice, loving expression, probably only Chong Wu can enjoy.
Chong Wu heard such an understanding and considerate voice, his eyes immediately became wet, "Don't ask, I don't want to say... If my beating can make this matter pass, then let's go! No one will ask again !"
The eldest princess was stunned, such a small child, actually has something on her mind?
What is it that he tried so hard to hide, that he would rather be beaten than talk about it?
Xiao Chongwu was beaten, so naturally it was impossible to go to the school to attend classes.
Those three students were also suspended.
One or two days was fine, but after three days, there was no new progress.
The three students couldn't sit still.
After all, he is only a teenager in his teens, how much patience can Chengfu have?
When they were in a hurry, they begged to look at their husband, "Mr. please intercede for us. It is true that we were wrong about what happened that day. We are willing to admit our mistakes. Just ask us to go back to class?"
When Shiwu Niang heard that they had admitted their mistake, she came to the small courtyard where they lived in person, "What is the reason for setting fire to your dormitory at Chongwu?"
They looked panic-stricken, but they were too timid to speak.
"Now Chongwu is still lying on the bed. His Royal Highness King Wu beat him to pieces that day. He didn't say anything about you. He just wanted to carry it by himself. How much older are you? Just let such a little boy Younger brother bears all the punishments, but doesn't want to say anything?" Shiwu Niang's tone was a little harsh.
Among the three children, the youngest one was frightened and cried, "We spoke ill of the princess... let him hear..."
Fifteen Niang was slightly taken aback.
I have never heard of students in the academy dare to speak ill of Xiao Yuzhuo.
Most of the students in the Chang'an City Academy now know that the Jingyi Wenwu Academy was founded by her and the princess.
Without Xiao Yuzhuo's support at the front, this school would not have been possible.
"Do you like this school?" Shiwu Niang asked.
The three students nodded repeatedly.
"Children of your age should understand the truth. Don't you know that this school would not be possible without the Princess?" Shiwu Niang asked with a bit of sadness and blame. meaning.
The older child glanced at the younger student, and when he saw this point, it would be impossible if he didn't make it clear.
"It's not to say bad things about the Princess, but to tell the truth..."
Fifteen Niang was stunned, "What's the truth?"
"The princess is no longer the princess, but an evil spirit, a lonely ghost, occupying the body of the original princess... This lonely ghost has a strong fate. Her arrival will definitely reverse the situation in Daxia. Bringing irreversible changes to the change of dynasty... You can't get rid of her without burning her!" The older child said in a deep voice.
Fifteen Niang's complexion changed drastically when she heard the words, and she sternly shouted, "Shut up! Nonsense! Nonsense! How dare you open your mouth at such a young age! You dare to say such treason and slander! You! You are too outrageous! "
Shiwu Niang was out of breath, and even when she had a miscarriage and was bleeding, her face was not so ugly.
"Come on, take care of them! Watch them closely!" Shiwu Niang's chest heaved and fell.
The young student was frightened and cried at this moment, weeping timidly.
The two older children also stood awkwardly with white faces.
"Go, go and invite the Princess." Shiwu Niang didn't ask others to watch the three children, but she still felt relieved to watch them herself.
Asking someone to invite Xiao Yuzhuo, she paced around the room restlessly.
No wonder!
No wonder Chongwu wanted to set fire to their bedroom!
They are going to burn Chongwu's mother to death, which son can bear others talking about his mother like that?
Although Chong Wu was young, he probably had seen a lot since he was a child, and he had experienced many changes in the situation, which made him broaden his horizons and mature his mind since he was a child.
He must be very aware of the harm these words will bring to his mother.
He didn't know what to do, he just wanted to protect his mother, so he set a fire.
Fifteen Niang herself was in a panic at the moment.
Xiao Yuzhuo came very quickly.
As soon as she came, the three teenagers shrank together.
Fifteen Niang's reaction just now seemed to scare them somewhat.
"You called me in a hurry, what's the matter?" Xiao Yuzhuo's face was much gentler than Shiwuniang's.
Shiwu Niang took her hand and looked her up and down, "Sister, this time I really beat Chongwu!"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows, "It's wrong for him to set fire, no matter what the reason is, it's not considered torture."
Fifteen Niang snorted, looked at the three students and said, "You guys say it yourself, or I say it?!"
The oldest child, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, hesitated for a moment, and then took a step forward, "We said that the princess should be executed by burning at the stake, that's why he..."
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
After the three children said that she was a lonely ghost, she felt cold all over.
Been hiding it for so many years.
She has lived in Daxia for so long, and her children are so old...
She thought that her previous life had passed, and she had completely integrated into this era, this world... But at this time, was someone uncovering her old background?
Seeing her pale face, Shiwuniang said worriedly: "Sister, don't be angry, it's just a few children talking nonsense."
Xiao Yuzhuo took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Who taught you what you said?"
The three children shook their heads again and again.
"Did someone else tell you this and tell you to say it?" Shiwu Niang also hurriedly asked.
The three children huddled together, looking like they wanted to cry, "No one taught us that we don't want to harm the princess. If we kill the princess, we won't be able to go to such a good school!"
"Then, did you make up these words yourself?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked again with a smile.
The three children saw that her attitude was gentler than Shiwuniang's, and they seemed to let go of their guards a little bit, "No, when we were practicing with Master, we overheard Master and Senior Brother say it by chance."
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback, "Who is your master?"
"Big Xia respectfully calls my master 'Yuan Tianshi'." The three children said.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name Yuan Tianshi.
The scenes of meeting Yuan Tianshi in Mingjue Temple came to mind.
"Did Heavenly Master Yuan say that I should be burned at the stake?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with a smile.
She seemed to have a gentle expression and a calm tone.
But only she knew that her hands and feet were trembling slightly.
"Master said that if we want to get rid of that lonely ghost, the only way to do it is by burning. But the master also said that this is a great opportunity for the Great Xia. Although it is caused by evil spirits, it is not necessarily a bad thing..." The student said, "We I don’t understand. Master didn’t say it to us, but he talked to the senior brother. After saying this, the master and the senior brother wandered together. He didn’t say where he went or when he would come back. We were thrown away. When we got down, we had no choice, so we went down the mountain separately, and when we heard that there is a school in Chang'an, we came to Chang'an."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and nodded, "Now that you have seen me and know me, do you think I am a lonely ghost who should be burned to death?"
The three children shook their heads quickly.
Xiao Yuzhuo stretched out his hand in front of them, "I heard that ghosts are cold and have no temperature, you can touch my hand."
The three children looked at her with some horror.
"Is it cold and stiff to touch me?" Xiao Yuzhuo smiled warmly.
The young child had a simple mind, he hesitated for a moment, and really reached out to touch it.
(End of this chapter)
Shiwuniang brought Wei Ziwu, who was in charge of the martial arts gym, over.
Wei Ziwu cupped his hands and said, "I've seen my lady."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Wei Langjun is right here, do you know what's going on here?"
Wei Ziwu glanced at Chong Wu who was in Xiao Yuzhuo's arms.
Chongwu immediately cried louder.
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned slightly, she let go of Chong Wu, got up and looked at the ruined house.
The fire was basically extinguished by now.
The teachers and students who rescued and extinguished the fire were all disheartened.
"Please excuse me, lady." Wei Ziwu was rarely so serious.
Xiao Yuzhuo knew that things might not be simple, besides, Xiao Chongwu had been holding her thigh and crying, standing here and talking, it really didn't look like it.
"Wei Langjun, this way please."
"My lady please."
Shiwu Niang also accompanied her. After all, there was a safety issue in the school, and she was also responsible.
When he arrived at the house, Xiao Chongwu was coaxed away by Ju Xiang and Mei Xiang.
Wei Ziwu cupped his hands and said: "The house caught fire, it was the time when the students were in class, and there was no one in the dormitory, so no one was injured. Only Mr. Xiao Lang sprained his ankle."
This is suspicious.
During class time, everyone else is listening to lectures and reading books.
Why did Chongwu sprain his feet in the bedroom?
He was in the first class, and he didn't live in the dormitory of the school at all. What did he do there?
"Someone saw that it was Mr. Xiao Lang who threw kindling into the dormitory, and then he ran too fast and sprained his ankle. After the dormitory was on fire, the fire was not very big at first, but suddenly there was a loud bang, which brought the nearby All the houses have been destroyed." Wei Ziwu said.
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback, "Sure enough, there was an explosion?"
"Explosion?" Wei Ziwu looked up at her.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "Just like the firecrackers we set off during Chinese New Year, the house is like the bamboo tube that exploded, instantly, boom—"
"That's right, it's exactly what the lady said. If it wasn't for the fact that there were no students nearby, what would be damaged today would not only be houses?" Wei Ziwu also had a look of fear on his face as he spoke.
Why rebuild a house when it is destroyed.
Loss of money is trivial.
But if a person is injured, he only lives once.
Xiao Yuzhuo covered his heart, "At Chongwu he..."
"Xiao Langjun lost the tinder and ran away. At that time, he had already run out of the yard and was not injured. The guards in the yard saw that something was wrong. Fortunately, he was very skillful and dodged quickly, and he was not injured." Wei Ziwu said, "It's just that That...the explosion frightened people so much that they didn't dare to step forward to put out the fire for a while, so the fire was extinguished a little slower and burned more house items."
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded again and again, "It's right to be cautious, money is something outside the body."
The room fell silent.
There is a bit of shock in the eyes of the individual.
"What about Chongwu?" Xiao Yuzhuo suddenly got up and asked.
Her cold expression startled both Wei Ziwu and Shiwuniang.
Shiwu Niang hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, Chong Wu is still a child..."
"A child dares to set fire. If he is allowed to grow up like this, wouldn't the sky be turned upside down?!" Xiao Yuzhuo gritted his teeth.
It seems that the review he was asked to write earlier was all for nothing!
Xiao Yuzhuo asked someone to drag Chong Wu to the courtyard, didn't he know how to respect himself at a young age?
Then let him admit his mistake in front of everyone, so that he can remember it long in the eyes of everyone!
Many people stood in the yard, including husbands and many students.
Chong Wu was pulled down to the center of the yard, under the attention of everyone.
He really has a good face, everyone looked at him, he was crying, but now he sniffed and held back.
"There is water in the dormitory today, what's going on?" Shiwu Niang glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo and asked in a deep voice.
Xiao Yuzhuo was Chongwu's mother, she stood aside to avoid suspicion, and did not intervene.
Xiao Chongwu muffled, "I set the fire."
He dared to act boldly and admitted it readily!
Xiao Yuzhuo's chest rose and fell.
"Why did you set fire to the dormitory?" Shiwu Niang asked with a frown.
"Because they... they should be taught a lesson!" Chong Wu suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Yuzhuo, then lowered his head and said.
"Who are they?" Fifteen Niang asked.
Chong Wu didn't speak.
Wei Ziwu went to inquire and picked out the students who lived in the dormitory where he threw himself into the fire.
These three students are not very old, the oldest is no more than fifteen or sixteen years old.The smaller one may be only eleven or twelve.
The three of them have delicate features, and they seem to be weak, not like any evil people.
"Are you going to take revenge on the three of them?" Fifteen Niang asked in surprise.
Xiao Chongwu stood beside the three boys, only half their height, and he really didn't look like he could have any enmity with them.
Doesn't a child of this age fight with children of his own age as often as possible?
"It's them." Xiao Chongwu nodded.
Xiao Yuzhuo gasped, really?
"Why do you say they should be punished?" Shiwu Niang asked with a frown.
Xiao Chongwu turned his head and glared at those students, but he pursed his lips and refused to speak.
It was straightforward to admit it just now, so why don't you say it now?
"If there is no reason, you will be punished!" Shiwu Niang asked urgently, wanting him to give a reason.
Although Chong Wu is lively and willful on weekdays, he is not an unreasonable child.
He just made some small mistakes from time to time, so he definitely wouldn't do the thing of setting fire to the house.
Fifteen Niang persuaded again and again, but he pursed his lips and refused to speak.
"Since he won't say it, why don't you tell me?" Shiwu Niang looked at the three older students again, "He is young, and he is still a child in the enlightenment class, so why does he have any relationship with you older children?" Enmity, so that you have to burn down your house?"
Those three students looked at me and I looked at you, shaking their heads and not speaking.
Fifteen Niang was a little anxious, she glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo.
Both sides refused to say that the person who set the fire was Chong Wu, and the one who was punished in the end must be Chong Wu?
"Chongwu, you have to know that if you refuse to say anything, you will be punished severely. Even...even if you are my child, you can't be special." Xiao Yuzhuo looked at Chongwu and said.
Little Chongwu gritted his teeth and nodded, "Daddy said that a man should be responsible in his life and work. It was my son who set the fire, and he is willing to be punished."
"But if you can tell the reason, maybe the sentence can be reduced or exempted. Aniang knows that you are not a child who doesn't care about right and wrong, right?" Xiao Yuzhuo coaxed.
Chong Wu was very stubborn at the moment, "Don't ask, A Niang, I have no reason."
Xiao Yuzhuo was a little annoyed, "He dared to set fire and commit murder at a young age. He knew he was wrong, but he didn't tell the truth. He was stubborn. Let's punish according to the school's rules! No one is allowed to intercede!"
Fifteen Niang's complexion was a little bad, so she discussed with some elders from the school.
"According to the rules, [-] boards will be played, and the student status will be removed, and you will not be able to enter the Jingyi Wenwu Hall." Shiwu Niang whispered to Xiao Yuzhuo.
Xiao Yuzhuo nodded, "I have no objection."
As soon as Shiwu Niang announced the result of the discussion, there was a lot of discussion below.
Thirty boards, can he bear this kid who is still in the elementary class?
"I would like to be beaten, I beg my aunt not to expel me, I like the academy..." Chong Wu's eye circles were a little red.
At the beginning, he begged his mother for a long time in order to enter the hall.
This enlightenment class was only opened for him.
Now that there are more and more children in the enlightenment class, he is leaving?
Going back home again, shaking your head and reading and practicing calligraphy in front of that boring husband?
"Aniang, hit me, you can hit me a few more times, don't fire me, I don't want to leave here..." Chong Wu begged with tears in his eyes.
There are also many children who have a good relationship with Chongwu in the elementary class.
Chong Wu likes to be the king of children, some children who have been bullied on weekdays, Chong Wu likes to stand up for them.
Now Chongwu was going to be punished, and some children who had been beaten and hugged by Chongwu couldn't stand up anymore, and came out one after another to intercede for Chongwu.
Zhou Changkang also encouraged others, and he stood with Chong Wu himself, "Chong Wu is my brother, I am willing to be punished together with my brother, I just hope that the school will be lenient and don't rush Chong Wu."
Xiao Yuzhuo squinted at Chongwu.
If he was really stubborn, there would definitely not be so many children willing to speak well for him.
Although he is naughty, he also has his own connections.It can be seen that it is not a child who is right and wrong.
How could you do something like set fire to it?
"Students are not in their own halls during the school's class time. What's going on here?" Suddenly, a loud and steady voice came from outside the crowd.
Hearing this voice, Chong Wu was immediately overjoyed, and he turned to look out.
The crowd automatically split into a lane.
The person who spoke slowly walked into the circle formed by the crowd from outside.
"Daddy, beg Daddy to intercede for the child..." Chong Wu immediately rushed up and hugged his thigh.
Jing Yannian glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo suspiciously.
Shiwu Niang is the person in charge of the academy, and when she saw Jing Yannian appearing in the academy in military uniform, she knew that he represented the imperial court, so she quickly asked, "I don't know why His Royal Highness King Wu came suddenly?"
"Fifty percent of the soldiers and horses heard people report that there was a loud bang in the south of the city. They reported the matter for fear of disturbing the holy driver, so I took a look. What's the reason for the loud noise?" Jing Yannian had just finished speaking.
Chongwu let go of the hand holding his lap, and quietly took two steps back, widening the distance between him and his father.
The eyes of the crowd focused on Chong Wu again.
Now it's all right, it doesn't matter if he set fire to it, it was originally an internal matter of the academy, now even the charge of "disturbing the holy driver" is about to come out.
After Jing Yannian asked, he found that the scene was unusually quiet. He glanced around, and his eyes also fell on Chong Wu.
"What's going on?" He looked at Chong Wu and asked.
Chong Wu held back his mouth, "I set the fire and burned down the house..."
Jing Yannian frowned, "You?"
"Daddy hits me if he wants to beat him, and punishes him if he wants to. I beg Daddy to intercede with Auntie and Auntie so that the school will not drive me away..." Chongwu said with a pout.
Looking at Xiao Yuzhuo's expression, Jing Yannian saw that his wife's face was gloomy.
"Why did you set the fire?" Jing Yannian asked.
His own son, he knew it, definitely wasn't the one who made trouble out of nothing?
"If he is willing to say it, how did this situation come about?" Xiao Yuzhuo snorted softly.
Jing Yannian's eyes darkened, "I didn't tell you, a man should take responsibility? If you have the courage to do things, but you don't have the courage to admit it, what kind of man are you?"
Chong Wu glanced at his father with grievances, and lowered his head.
"I... I have a reason! It's... I just can't say it here!" Chong Wu glanced at the three older students.
The eyes of the three students were a little dodged.
Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that there must be something hidden here.
"If you don't want to say it, then you have to bear the result. No matter how you punish, it's your own choice." Jing Yannian said slowly, "Even Daddy, you can't play favoritism."
Chong Wu glanced at him reluctantly.
Fifteen Niang had someone carry the bench for punishment.
Chong Wu was pressed on the bench.
The underwear on the buttocks was ripped open.
Although he was young, he also felt ashamed, and his face turned red immediately.
A martial arts master stepped forward holding the torture board.
Xiao Yuzhuo's eyes showed a look of unbearable.
She frowned and tried to avoid it.
Jing Yannian suddenly took a step forward, "Wait!"
The master Wu who was in charge of the torture breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly stood aside.
If possible, he would really not want to take this job!
"You can't do favoritism, but His Highness the King of Wu said it himself." Xiao Yuzhuo stood aside and said with a sullen face.
Jing Yannian glanced at her, "It's not for selfishness, I don't teach my father's fault. Chongwu did something wrong in the academy. As a father, I will punish him first, and then I will go to the Ministry of War to receive the punishment myself."
Hearing the words, Chongwu immediately shouted, "One person does the work and the other person does the work. What I set on fire has nothing to do with daddy...ah..."
Jing Yannian didn't talk nonsense with him, and slapped his little butt with a wooden board.
Others thought that when Jing Yannian took over the board from Master Wu, he wanted to do it lightly.
Never thought about going down, Chong Wu's fair and immature buttocks turned red.
After ten boards passed, his buttocks were already swollen.
In the beginning, Chong Wu still gritted his teeth and carried it hard.
But after all, he was young, and he couldn't bear it any longer, so he cried loudly, crying pitifully.
The children in the enlightenment class all started crying.
Even the older students secretly wiped their tears.
Zhou Changkang rushed forward to block Chong Wu, "I am willing to be punished for my brother... hit me, hit me..."
Jing Yannian winked at his followers.
Zhou Changkang was pulled aside.
Jing Yannian continued to fight...
Twenty boards hadn't been played yet, and Xiao Chongwu was already torn apart.
There was blood all over the board.
The three students whose dormitories were burned couldn't stand it any longer. They knelt down and begged for mercy, "I was also at fault, please be merciful, His Highness King Wu... be merciful..."
But Jing Yannian said: "Once the punishment starts, there is no reason to stop halfway. Even if you have something to say, let's wait until the punishment is over!"
Thirty boards are finished.
There is no good meat left on Chong Wu's butt.
His little face, which was flushed from the beginning, turned pale.
When Jing Yannian carried him off the bench, his legs couldn't stand at all.
The little face was full of tears.
"Do you hate daddy?" Jing Yannian asked in a low voice.
Chong Wu glanced at him sadly, but before he could speak, he rolled his eyes and passed out.
Jing Yannian quickly carried Chong Wu into the house.
Xiao Yuzhuo was also very frightened, and called Juxiang to go in for treatment.
Ju Xiang applied medicine to Chong Wu's buttocks, made a decoction and poured it down for him.
After tossing until evening, Chong Wu was sent back to Xiao's house.
The students whose three dormitories were burned were also placed alone in a small courtyard of the academy.
The yard is for gentlemen, but there are rooms available.
Chongwu was beaten to warn other students in the academy.
Before this matter is clarified, neither Chong Wu nor the three students can go back to class.
After returning to Xiao's house in Chongwu, the eldest princess knew what happened today.
She immediately rushed into Xiao Yuzhuo's courtyard, seeing her pale grandson lying on the bed, the eldest princess felt distressed and angry.
"Who hit it?" She came to the outside room and asked sharply.
Mei Xiang said in a low voice, "The lady called for the beating, but the gentleman did it."
Xiao Yuzhuo pursed his lips helplessly.
The eldest princess was so angry that her eyes were red, "Okay, that's great! Are you a father and a mother? Do you treat your own son as an enemy? Huh? How old is he, and how big a mistake he can make? Is he beaten like this? You are going to take my life!"
The eldest princess began to cry after cursing.
The maids hurried forward to comfort her.
The eldest princess waved her sleeves and said angrily, "Go, get my whip!"
Others couldn't persuade her, and if they didn't get her a whip, she wanted to get it herself.
The servant girl had no choice but to fetch her long whip.
"Kneel down!" The eldest princess pointed at Xiao Yuzhuo with a long whip.
Xiao Yuzhuo didn't dare to disobey his mother's words, and quickly knelt down, "Aniang, calm down, don't be angry and ruin your body."
"Where's Jing Yannian? Tell him to come here too!" The eldest princess went into a rage.
"Lang Jun went to the Ministry of War to explain today's affairs." Zhu Xiang said quickly.
The eldest princess was slightly taken aback, "This matter has alarmed the Ministry of War?"
"Wucheng soldiers and horses received a report from someone saying that there was a loud bang in the south of the city. Wucheng soldiers and horses were afraid of taking responsibility, so they reported the matter." Zhuxiang explained.
The eldest princess snorted coldly, "It seems that there is no reason for him to have a heavy lunch? Did he want to borrow his son to hold this matter? This son is not the flesh that fell from him, he I really don't feel bad!"
"Aniang!" Xiao Yuzhuo looked upset.
"Shut up! What else do you have to say when you are a mother?" The eldest princess glanced at Xiao Yuzhuo impatiently, "Come on, wait outside the Prince Wu's Mansion and the Ministry of War. Where is Jing Yannian, tell him to roll over immediately!"
Jing Yannian had just explained the matter of the Chengnan Academy to the Ministry of War, and made it a minor matter, and pressed down on it.
Before he could catch his breath, he was invited to Xiao's house.
The eldest princess held a long whip and looked at him coldly, "King Wu is so majestic!"
He was dressed in military uniform, tall and tall, and he was really majestic.
But he saw that Xiao Yuzhuo was kneeling with his head bowed beside him, and the eldest princess's face was darkened.
He immediately understood, took off his cloak, and immediately knelt down next to Xiao Yuzhuo, "Mother, calm down, the military department has the intention to pursue today's matter. Someone has long coveted the Chengnan Academy, and planned to bring the academy opened by the Xiao family under the direct control of the imperial court. "
Xiao Yuzhuo frowned.
The school of her and Shiwuniang must not be reduced to a tool of the court.
"It's inevitable that others will take advantage of today's events to create troubles, so Chong Wu's punishment is inevitable!" Jing Yannian said.
The eldest princess sneered, "There are many ways to keep the academy! If you insist on using your own son as a son, and beat such a young child into this appearance, to keep your own things, you are also parents. It's nothing!"
"Aniang, you can't say that. If it's not Chongwu's fault, you can't hit him today! Ask him yourself, what did he do in the academy when he was so young?" Xiao Yuzhuo said immediately.
But seeing that the Eldest Princess had a bad complexion, she didn't dare to speak too harshly, her tone was still gentle.
"If others don't provoke him, he will definitely not take the initiative to provoke others! Don't I understand the grandson I brought out by myself?" The eldest princess shook the long whip in her hand.
"If he is willing to say, today's fight will not fall on him..."
Before Xiao Yuzhuo finished speaking, the eldest princess became annoyed.
She flicked the long whip in her hand, "I didn't understand anything, so I beat him up first. I think you are also very confused, such stupid parents, if you don't beat you up, you will just have a mess in your head." Gooey!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the long whip came down with a snap.
Jing Yannian got up immediately and held Xiao Yuzhuo in his arms.
The long whip struck Jing Yannian's back with a very loud snap.
Ju Xiang came back with the prepared medicine, and when she entered the door, she saw the eldest princess beating someone.
She glanced at Mei Xiang, understood the matter, and quickly knelt down, "Princess, calm down, the general has a sense of measure, and the young man saw that his buttocks were seriously injured, all flesh wounds, and it will heal in three to five days." , no injuries..."
"Do you still dare to hurt your bones? My poor grandson, if you hurt your bones, I...I will..." She held a whip and looked at Jing Yannian and Xiao Yuzhuo gnashing her teeth.
Jing Yannian frowned, arched his back, and held Xiao Yuzhuo tightly in his arms.
The eldest princess was angry and angry, and after whipping her whip, she calmed down a lot.
Knowing this, there is a lot of trouble. If you don't have a heavy lunch, you may not be able to deal with business in many aspects.
She threw down the whip with a snap, turned around and went to the inner room angrily.
Chong Wu was lying on the bed at the moment, half-closed his eyes.
Seeing that he woke up, the eldest princess hurried forward, "My little boy, does your butt still hurt?"
Chong Wu nodded aggrievedly.
The eldest princess leaned over to the bed and said in a low voice: "It's not that your father and mother are cruel, don't blame them..."
She spoke in a very low voice, as if she didn't want the two people outside to hear her.
Chong Wu nodded obediently, "Grandma, I know."
"Well, dear, tell grandma, why did you set fire to those students' dormitories? Do you know that their dormitories are also the houses of the academy? If it burns out, the one who suffers the loss is not the academy." ? You like the school the most, and grandma knows that if there is no reason, you will definitely not do this, right?" The voice of the eldest princess is very gentle.
This gentle voice, loving expression, probably only Chong Wu can enjoy.
Chong Wu heard such an understanding and considerate voice, his eyes immediately became wet, "Don't ask, I don't want to say... If my beating can make this matter pass, then let's go! No one will ask again !"
The eldest princess was stunned, such a small child, actually has something on her mind?
What is it that he tried so hard to hide, that he would rather be beaten than talk about it?
Xiao Chongwu was beaten, so naturally it was impossible to go to the school to attend classes.
Those three students were also suspended.
One or two days was fine, but after three days, there was no new progress.
The three students couldn't sit still.
After all, he is only a teenager in his teens, how much patience can Chengfu have?
When they were in a hurry, they begged to look at their husband, "Mr. please intercede for us. It is true that we were wrong about what happened that day. We are willing to admit our mistakes. Just ask us to go back to class?"
When Shiwu Niang heard that they had admitted their mistake, she came to the small courtyard where they lived in person, "What is the reason for setting fire to your dormitory at Chongwu?"
They looked panic-stricken, but they were too timid to speak.
"Now Chongwu is still lying on the bed. His Royal Highness King Wu beat him to pieces that day. He didn't say anything about you. He just wanted to carry it by himself. How much older are you? Just let such a little boy Younger brother bears all the punishments, but doesn't want to say anything?" Shiwu Niang's tone was a little harsh.
Among the three children, the youngest one was frightened and cried, "We spoke ill of the princess... let him hear..."
Fifteen Niang was slightly taken aback.
I have never heard of students in the academy dare to speak ill of Xiao Yuzhuo.
Most of the students in the Chang'an City Academy now know that the Jingyi Wenwu Academy was founded by her and the princess.
Without Xiao Yuzhuo's support at the front, this school would not have been possible.
"Do you like this school?" Shiwu Niang asked.
The three students nodded repeatedly.
"Children of your age should understand the truth. Don't you know that this school would not be possible without the Princess?" Shiwu Niang asked with a bit of sadness and blame. meaning.
The older child glanced at the younger student, and when he saw this point, it would be impossible if he didn't make it clear.
"It's not to say bad things about the Princess, but to tell the truth..."
Fifteen Niang was stunned, "What's the truth?"
"The princess is no longer the princess, but an evil spirit, a lonely ghost, occupying the body of the original princess... This lonely ghost has a strong fate. Her arrival will definitely reverse the situation in Daxia. Bringing irreversible changes to the change of dynasty... You can't get rid of her without burning her!" The older child said in a deep voice.
Fifteen Niang's complexion changed drastically when she heard the words, and she sternly shouted, "Shut up! Nonsense! Nonsense! How dare you open your mouth at such a young age! You dare to say such treason and slander! You! You are too outrageous! "
Shiwu Niang was out of breath, and even when she had a miscarriage and was bleeding, her face was not so ugly.
"Come on, take care of them! Watch them closely!" Shiwu Niang's chest heaved and fell.
The young student was frightened and cried at this moment, weeping timidly.
The two older children also stood awkwardly with white faces.
"Go, go and invite the Princess." Shiwu Niang didn't ask others to watch the three children, but she still felt relieved to watch them herself.
Asking someone to invite Xiao Yuzhuo, she paced around the room restlessly.
No wonder!
No wonder Chongwu wanted to set fire to their bedroom!
They are going to burn Chongwu's mother to death, which son can bear others talking about his mother like that?
Although Chong Wu was young, he probably had seen a lot since he was a child, and he had experienced many changes in the situation, which made him broaden his horizons and mature his mind since he was a child.
He must be very aware of the harm these words will bring to his mother.
He didn't know what to do, he just wanted to protect his mother, so he set a fire.
Fifteen Niang herself was in a panic at the moment.
Xiao Yuzhuo came very quickly.
As soon as she came, the three teenagers shrank together.
Fifteen Niang's reaction just now seemed to scare them somewhat.
"You called me in a hurry, what's the matter?" Xiao Yuzhuo's face was much gentler than Shiwuniang's.
Shiwu Niang took her hand and looked her up and down, "Sister, this time I really beat Chongwu!"
Xiao Yuzhuo raised his eyebrows, "It's wrong for him to set fire, no matter what the reason is, it's not considered torture."
Fifteen Niang snorted, looked at the three students and said, "You guys say it yourself, or I say it?!"
The oldest child, who was fifteen or sixteen years old, hesitated for a moment, and then took a step forward, "We said that the princess should be executed by burning at the stake, that's why he..."
Xiao Yuzhuo was taken aback when he heard this.
After the three children said that she was a lonely ghost, she felt cold all over.
Been hiding it for so many years.
She has lived in Daxia for so long, and her children are so old...
She thought that her previous life had passed, and she had completely integrated into this era, this world... But at this time, was someone uncovering her old background?
Seeing her pale face, Shiwuniang said worriedly: "Sister, don't be angry, it's just a few children talking nonsense."
Xiao Yuzhuo took a deep breath and smiled slightly, "Who taught you what you said?"
The three children shook their heads again and again.
"Did someone else tell you this and tell you to say it?" Shiwu Niang also hurriedly asked.
The three children huddled together, looking like they wanted to cry, "No one taught us that we don't want to harm the princess. If we kill the princess, we won't be able to go to such a good school!"
"Then, did you make up these words yourself?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked again with a smile.
The three children saw that her attitude was gentler than Shiwuniang's, and they seemed to let go of their guards a little bit, "No, when we were practicing with Master, we overheard Master and Senior Brother say it by chance."
Xiao Yuzhuo was slightly taken aback, "Who is your master?"
"Big Xia respectfully calls my master 'Yuan Tianshi'." The three children said.
Xiao Yuzhuo's heart skipped a beat when he heard the name Yuan Tianshi.
The scenes of meeting Yuan Tianshi in Mingjue Temple came to mind.
"Did Heavenly Master Yuan say that I should be burned at the stake?" Xiao Yuzhuo asked with a smile.
She seemed to have a gentle expression and a calm tone.
But only she knew that her hands and feet were trembling slightly.
"Master said that if we want to get rid of that lonely ghost, the only way to do it is by burning. But the master also said that this is a great opportunity for the Great Xia. Although it is caused by evil spirits, it is not necessarily a bad thing..." The student said, "We I don’t understand. Master didn’t say it to us, but he talked to the senior brother. After saying this, the master and the senior brother wandered together. He didn’t say where he went or when he would come back. We were thrown away. When we got down, we had no choice, so we went down the mountain separately, and when we heard that there is a school in Chang'an, we came to Chang'an."
Xiao Yuzhuo smiled and nodded, "Now that you have seen me and know me, do you think I am a lonely ghost who should be burned to death?"
The three children shook their heads quickly.
Xiao Yuzhuo stretched out his hand in front of them, "I heard that ghosts are cold and have no temperature, you can touch my hand."
The three children looked at her with some horror.
"Is it cold and stiff to touch me?" Xiao Yuzhuo smiled warmly.
The young child had a simple mind, he hesitated for a moment, and really reached out to touch it.
