The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 721 Stolen
It is not surprising that the emperor will stay in the Da Ci'en Temple to fast and pray for blessings.

Because as early as when discussing specific procedures such as rituals, the emperor had expressed his intention to stay in the new temple.It's just that they didn't say it clearly at the time, but all the people present were smart people, and everyone heard what the emperor meant.

Everyone has no opinion on this. In an era that advocates filial piety, the emperor's actions can definitely be called pure and filial piety.

What everyone cares about is the 'seven days', more specifically, the word 'seven'.

Why is it seven days? Isn't it good for three days and nine days? Why is it just seven days?

I can't blame everyone for being sensitive, but I can only blame everyone for having a good memory, especially for some unlucky people who have experienced it personally, they are even more impressed by this number.

In the rebellion of the king of Wu six or seven years ago, the city gate was closed for seven days, the capital was in chaos for seven days, and the rebel army slaughtered for seven days in the square area where the dignitaries gathered.

It's not that these people can't hear the word "seven", it's that the atmosphere in the capital is too weird recently.

More than 20 days ago, the city gates were closed earlier and the curfew was earlier in the capital again. Although Taiji Palace quickly gave a statement similar to 'misunderstanding' afterwards, no one believed it.

Everyone has lived in the capital for a long time, the older ones have not forgotten the Xuanwu Incident more than 30 years ago, and the younger ones still have fresh memories of the Wuwang Rebellion.Therefore, everyone has their own thoughts about the tense atmosphere in the capital in the past month.

When everyone was highly nervous, the emperor threw out another 'seven days', how could it not make everyone associate it? !
But the emperor is the emperor, as long as it is not related to military affairs, he doesn't have to care about others' opinions.

Although all the officials and the clan felt uneasy, no one dared to persuade them.

advise?How can I persuade you?
Can you say to the emperor, "Saint, there seems to be a bit of chaos in Beijing recently, and the ministers are worried that the "Wu Wang Rebellion" will repeat... If you really want to fast, you might as well fast for three days ?!"

What a P, the emperor can spit on your head and face, do you believe it or not?
You know, in terms of causing trouble to the emperor who is still a prince, Wu Wang did not need Wei Wang to do less.

In particular, the king of Wu raised the flag to rebel in an upright manner, and his name was "the prince is not wise, and the Qing emperor is sideways". !
The grievances between the sage and the King of Wu were well known to those present, so they were silent when they heard what the emperor said.

Seeing this, the emperor said: "It seems that everyone has no objection, so let's do this."

The next thing is simple, all the officials who came to watch the ceremony were immediately divided into two groups, one group stayed at Da Ci'en Temple to accompany the emperor to fast together, and handled some important official duties by the way, and the other group returned to their respective yamen, trying not to let the corresponding Government agencies are paralyzed.

It was even simpler for the female relatives, they had already guessed that they might spend the night at the Da Ci'en Temple, so they explained all the trivial matters at home before going out.

A wealthy family like theirs not only requires the mistress to be capable, but also the maids in charge around the mistress are all people who count as ten.

Even if the mistress is not at home, as long as the arrangements are made in advance, these maids in charge can support them for ten days and a half months.

Most of the mistresses secretly wrung their fingers in their sleeves, um, seven days, no problem.

So everyone stayed.

Fortunately, the Da Ci'en Temple has enough guest rooms, and the monks in the temple are also capable. In just half a day, more than 100 female relatives were all arranged properly.

Xiao Nan's grade is high, so he was allocated a separate courtyard.

Mrs. Zheng is the wife of the Minister-in-law of the court. The Zhike monk did not dare to treat her badly, and allocated a small courtyard to her. Considering her relationship with Xiao Nan, the monk also thoughtfully chose a place for Mrs. Zheng that is far away from Xiao Nan. Very close courtyard.

It's a pity that Xiao Nan and Zheng Shi didn't appreciate the monk's kindness.Each led a group of servants into their small courtyard, Xiao Nan bowed slightly to Zheng Shi, and closed the door directly.

Mrs. Zheng was even more impolite. She didn't even have a nasal sound. She turned around and entered the door, leaving only Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Wei nodding helplessly at Xiao Nan. Mrs. Zheng muttered as she walked in: "Ma'am (Referring to Mrs. Wang), is the door still open?!"

Wang had no choice but to order someone to close the courtyard door.

Seeing the closed gates of the two adjacent courtyards, Zhike Monk couldn't help being dumbfounded: This, this... doesn't it mean that the two sides are a family, how come they look like enemies.

Then, he scratched his bald head, thinking with some worry, er, did the poor monk play tricks on himself?

……

After entering the small courtyard, Xiao Nan stood in the courtyard and took a look. The layout of the small courtyard was very simple, with three main rooms and one side room on each side. Eleven or twelve people, standing in the courtyard is a bit crowded now, and it is estimated that there will be no place for a few more people to stand.

"Ma'am, maidservant, go in and have a look?!"

Hong Hua stood vigilantly in front of Xiao Nan, her binocular radar scanned the surroundings, and then her eyes fell on several houses with their doors hidden.

What happened in the morning, Hong Hua still cared a lot, although she was sure of her eyes, and Xiao Nan himself said afterward that it might be because of her blind eyes, but Hong Hua still felt that she had neglected her duty.

If she behaves better and is more capable, so that the master has a more sense of security, the master will not be 'judged'.

This time, Xiao Nan was going to fast for seven days in an unfamiliar temple, and Honghua felt that she had to take care of her safety.

Therefore, she checked the small courtyard more carefully than ever before, and for better defense, she even regarded herself as an assassin, trying every means to find loopholes that could break through the protection of the small courtyard.

Not to mention, Honghua's empathy was very successful. From the assassin's point of view, she really found a few problems.

Then Honghua thought of "one person counts the short, two people count the long", and hurriedly called Hongjiao, Hongye, and Hongsang, and asked them to play the role of assassins respectively, and then looked for loopholes in defense.

After working so hard for half a day, Honghua redesigned the defense plan based on the problems they found, and insisted on protecting the small courtyard tightly.

Seeing Si Hong's dedication, Xiao Nan felt a little more at ease.

Things have developed to this day, except for the 'ghost' seen in the morning, everything is going smoothly.

I just don't know what's going on at home. Yuhan and Yuhan should take good care of the children, right? !
Xiao Nan was thinking about her home and her children. At the same time, in a certain house on the other side of the capital, someone was also 'thinking about' Rongshou Hall and Xiao Nan's children.

"Is the news true? The Xiao family and other female relatives are all trapped in the Daci'en Temple?"

It was a young man who spoke, tall and tall, with three-dimensional features, and a dark green beard suit made his figure very tall and straight.

"That's right, I heard it clearly. It is said that when the sage was praying for the Empress Dowager, he suddenly had an idea that he wanted to fast for the Empress Dowager for seven days at the Da Ci'en Temple, and the accompanying officials and female relatives would also stay to pray for the Empress Dowager together." Woolen cloth!"

The person who answered was an eleven or twelve-year-old Qisuoer (beggar). He was wearing a blouse that he bought from someone who didn't know where. After applying some colorful patches, he wiped the snot with the back of his hand, and replied decisively.

The man in the Hu suit didn't speak. His right thumb and index finger rested on his chin, rubbing them repeatedly, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Qi Suo'er thought it was because he didn't believe his own words, a pair of big black and white eyes rolled around on his dirty face, "Just don't worry, sir, my information is more accurate.

By the way, before I came, I purposely ran to the gate of Cui's house and squatted for a long time, joking with the concierge and getting out a lot of useful information.One of them was their wife, who didn't come back until half an hour ago! "

And it only took him half an hour to come here to see this one.

The man in the Hu suit raised his thick eyebrows slightly when he heard the words. He heard the meaning of Qi Suoer's words, reached out his hand and took it out of his pocket, and took out an indigo cloth bag the size of a palm, threw it in his hand and shook it. There was a clanging sound.

Hearing this sound, Qi Suo'er's eyes widened, and the two eyeballs moved up and down with the jumping cloth bag.

Seeing this, the man in the hu suit smiled mockingly on his thin lips, and tossed the cloth bag casually. With a bang, the cloth bag full of copper coins was thrown into Qi Suo'er's arms.

Qi Suo'er reacted very quickly, and immediately hugged the bag tightly, and then said with a flattering smile: "Your lord is straightforward. You will know everything, lord, what else do you want to know, just ask!" "

"Xiao's eldest son and eldest daughter are in Lishan, where are her other children?"

The man in the Hu suit was originally sitting on the Hu bed, but now he changed his sitting position, raised his legs, and asked in a low voice.

He really knew this, Qi Suo'er replied without hesitation: "It is said that he stayed in the Rongshou Hall. However, the younger one learned from the porter that Mrs. Xiao's most important lady in charge, Yuzan, left the city early in the morning. And he didn't go out alone."

He didn't say clearly what was said later, but the man in Hufu immediately understood the meaning of it, and he asked anxiously: "You mean that Xiao asked Yuzan to quietly send a few children out of the city?"

Qi Suo'er had already stuffed the cloth bag into his bosom, and he spread out his small black dirty hands, "I don't know about that, but the concierge said that Yuzan went out of the city in a carriage, and that carriage kept sending her to the city. Arrived at a certain villa on the outskirts of the city. And that villa is recorded under Mrs. Xiao's name."

The man in the Hu suit asked, "Where is the villa exactly?"

suburbs?It is definitely not an easy task to find a villa in the huge suburbs of the city.

Qi Suo'er leisurely picked the mud from his nails, as if he didn't hear the man in the hu suit.

A hint of predation flashed in the man's slender eyes, but he still took out a money bag of the same size from his arms, and this time he didn't make any seductive moves, and threw it directly to Qi Suo'er.

"Hee hee, Mr. Lang is happy!"

Qi Suo'er put away the money bag unceremoniously, and whispered the answer.

At noon of the next day, Xiao Nan had just used his evening food and was about to go back to the small courtyard to take a nap when the rain hurriedly caught up with him, "Ma'am, it's not good, Lady Xue just sent a message, sister Yuzan said, saying that you are in the south of the city." The villa was stolen..."
