Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 147 Who is to blame for committing suicide?

The sun was shining brightly and the wind was beautiful, but many people woke up screaming.

The capital was in chaos, the Jingwei army was so busy that their feet would not touch the ground, and their legs were about to break. For some reason, many young ladies and young masters from aristocratic families developed acne overnight.

The people were in panic. If the emperor hadn't ordered the timely order to appease the people and closed the city gates, Kyoto might have become an empty city now.

Baili Qingcang ordered the dismissal of the imperial court, ordering all officials to stay in his mansion and not to move around at will, and then dispatched the imperial physician of the imperial hospital and the governor of the Jingwei government office to find out the cause of the chickenpox outbreak.

Yin of the Jingwei Mansion accompanied Chen Yun to check around the houses, but found no useful information. Instead, he helped the officials discover many methods of framing each other among the women in the backyard, and suddenly there was another storm.

At this time, Princess Zhaohua's mansion seemed to be completely unmoved because it was closed, and it was much quieter.

In the Xiao family, Xiao Huanxi sat in the room trembling constantly, her whole face was pale without a trace of blood, she didn't know how she got here that night, in order for this assassination to go smoothly, she secretly stole the secret code from Xiao Fengjue's hand to call the dead man. The command talisman called 22 dead soldiers, but these people went to Zhaohua County Lord's Mansion, but it was as if they had disappeared overnight, but there was no news at all.

This is something that has never happened to the dead men of the Xiao family. In the capital, the dead men have never failed in their missions. Normally, there must be news within two hours, but this time it took a whole day. night!

The door of the room was kicked open suddenly, Xiao Huanxi almost jumped up like a frightened bird, and looked towards the door in panic, facing Xiao Fengjue's face full of evil spirits.

"Brother, you...how did you come here?"

Xiao Fengjue strode into the door, the veins on his forehead kept surging: "Did you steal the talisman to mobilize the dead?"

Xiao Huanxi shuddered suddenly, and being looked at by those emotionless eyes, he only felt icy cold: "Brother, I can't understand what token."

Xiao Fengjue suddenly regained consciousness, and kicked the table at the head of the bed. The heavy solid wood table was kicked and fell to the ground, with one leg broken.

The table was overturned and made a loud noise, which made Xiao Huanxi cover her ears and scream.

Xiao Fengjue tried his best to restrain the urge to slap him, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know that you have caused a catastrophe?"

Xiao Huanxi took two steps back and leaned against the wall, his eyes were full of panic: "What a disaster, what a disaster?"

"Early this morning, the emperor announced the dismissal of the court and ordered all officials not to leave the house for anything, because 16 people had chickenpox early this morning."

"What?" Xiao Huanxi's eyes widened, "Shen Ninghua's brother is not the only one suffering from chickenpox, how could it spread so quickly?"

"That's what you did!" If Xiao Huanxi wasn't his sister, he would have ordered someone to drag her out and beat her to death with sticks. "The place where these 16 people live is also very ingenious. The Xiao family can vaguely be connected in a straight line."

In a straight line?
Xiao Huanxi quibbled: "This doesn't explain anything, does it?"

"Are you really confused, or are you pretending not to understand? Last night, someone witnessed a dozen men in black fleeing from Princess Zhaohua's mansion and heading towards my Xiao's house. After one night, on the escape route of these men in black, Someone got chickenpox. How the chickenpox spread is clear at a glance, do you want me to say anything else?"

Xiao Huanxi's heart was beating wildly, with desperate struggles in his eyes: "Even so, it can't be said that those men in black are from our Xiao family, maybe someone framed them up, yes, it must be Shen Ninghua, she must have framed them of us."

Xiao Fengjue narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were full of sarcasm: "You know in your heart whether you are framing us, and hand over the talisman to mobilize the dead!"

Xiao Huanxi's complexion became paler and paler, and her lips trembled. She knew that it was useless to hide it at this time, so she could only tell the truth: "Brother, I was obsessed with ghosts for a while..."

Xiao Fengjue's voice was impatient: "I don't want to say a word to you now, so give me the token!"

Xiao Huanxi bit his lip, and took out the token from under the pillow, his face was full of panic: "Brother, it's been a night, and the news of those dead men has not been sent back, they should be fine, right? No one was there last night Seeing the men in black escape, did they go back to Xiao's house?"

Xiao Fengjue threw her away, turned around and walked towards the door.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the yard:

"My lord, please forgive me, but this servant has been wronged."

"Ah, help!"

Immediately afterwards, there was the dull sound of the stick hitting the flesh.

Xiao Fengjue's expression changed, and he quickly walked out the door, only to see that the courtyard was already in chaos.A group of guards surrounded Xiao Huanxi's courtyard, all the maids were arrested and detained on the ground, and two of them had already been beaten to death by the imperial staff.

"Father, what are you doing?"

Xiao Jingran stood aside with his hands behind his back. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at him: "Someone just overheard your conversation with Huanxi."

Xiao Fengjue's eyes changed: "Then just deal with the person you heard."

"The benevolence of a woman!" Xiao Jingran frowned, his face darkened, "Shoot all these people, and say that they were dealt with because they had chickenpox."

"Father!" Xiao Fengjue was annoyed in his heart. At this moment, countless people were focusing their attention on them. Wouldn't the sudden killing of these people be like telling others that something happened to my Xiao family?Even with the excuse of chickenpox, some people can be deceived, but everyone, especially the emperor...

Xiao Jingran didn't care, Xiao Huanxi's actions were not too cryptic, he couldn't guarantee that any of these servants knew her actions, so, to be on the safe side, they had to die.

There was still crying at the beginning, but after about a quarter of an hour, the eighteen servants in the yard became silent.

Xiao Fengjue only felt throbbing pain in his head, how could his father become so disregarding the overall situation!Is this driving the Xiao family to a dead end?

Xiao Jingran ignored his worries at all: "My Xiao family has stood for a hundred years and has experienced countless storms. This time it is not enough to shake the foundation."

Xiao Fengjue clenched his fists tightly, the token in his hand hurt his palm, but he didn't care at all, and strode out of the bloody yard.

When Chu Junyi came to the princess mansion, Shen Ninghua had already heard the news.

Hearing that Xiao Jingran killed all the slaves and maidservants in Xiao Huanxi's courtyard with a cane, she laughed in her heart: "Patriarch Xiao really has no scruples, if he wants to die, no one can stop him!"

If it were put 20 years ago, no one would dare to say that the Xiao family was wrong, let alone a slave in a courtyard, even if it killed a half of the city's civilians.

Because at that time, the Xiao family was the patron saint of Da'an, protecting the peace of thousands of people. Twenty years ago, Xiao Jingran was still the general of soldiers and horses. .

But 20 years have passed, and Da'an has not experienced war for a long time. Although the Xiao family still has a detached status, it is not that they no longer have the qualifications to do whatever they want.

The emperor would not allow his subjects to publicize their special status under his nose.

Chu Junyi entered the door, walked to the side of the soft couch with ease and lay down, and let out a deep breath: "I didn't expect my adoptive father to do that..." This is simply setting the Xiao family on fire.

Shen Ninghua put down the brush in her hand, and frowned slightly: If something happened to the Xiao family now, Chu Junyi would definitely be involved, which would be extremely detrimental to him.

"Ninghua, what are you going to do next?"

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes: "Now the emperor must have doubted the Xiao family, and with the incident of Xiao Jingran's death, there is no need for me to do anything else. The emperor will definitely take the opportunity to investigate the Xiao family, although due to the status of the Xiao family, he will not Dispose of it wantonly, but once this suspicion is kept in mind, it is uncertain when it will explode."

"En." Knowing that what she said was reasonable, Chu Junyi responded dully.

"When the emperor became suspicious, I sent the dead men I caught last night back to the Xiao family. Then the imperial hospital will donate a prescription and find a cure for chickenpox. Those who were infected with chickenpox before will get better."

Chu Junyi's heart skipped a beat, not only showing a wry smile: "Ninghua, your move is really..."

He didn't finish his speech, but Shen Ninghua understood what he meant: Xiao Jiazhang used the excuse that those people had chickenpox to kill them. It seems that there is nothing wrong with dealing with them now, but in the future she will kill everyone who has chickenpox. After it was cured, the Xiao family's behavior became extraordinarily cold.

Just as the two were saying this, there was a sudden sound of weapons clashing in the courtyard.

Chu Junyi quickly stood up, saw the figures in the courtyard, and frowned suddenly: "Brother?"

In the courtyard, Xiao Fengjue and Qingque fought fiercely.

Shen Ninghua stopped Qingque: "Qingque stop."

Chu Junyi's complexion was not very good: "Brother, why are you here?"

Xiao Fengjue tidied up his clothes, looked at Shen Ninghua indifferently, his resolute lips were tightly pressed together, without the slightest smile, and said in a blunt tone: "Because the entire princess mansion has been sealed off, so this method is used Come in, and ask the princess to forgive me."

"Young Master Xiao is polite, I don't know what you are doing for breaking in?"

"I'm here to find Chu Junyi."

Chu Junyi stepped forward, and stood in front of Shen Ninghua with a condensed expression: "What do you want me, brother?"

Xiao Fengjue took out the talisman for mobilizing the dead men in his hand: "Here is this talisman for you." Giving him the talisman also implied that the captured dead men could be disposed of at will.

Chu Junyi didn't answer, "Brother, what does this mean?"

"Those dead men have offended your sweetheart, so naturally you should deal with them."

Shen Ninghua sneered in her heart, she seemed to have good intentions, but she had hidden evil intentions.She originally wanted to abolish the martial arts of the dead men, and then throw them back to the Xiao family while the emperor was investigating, but Xiao Fengjue handed over the token to control the dead men to Chu Junyi, and then abolished their martial arts. Seems like a waste of talent.After all, the cultivation of dead soldiers is extremely difficult.

Once she can't use the dead soldiers, she will lose a handle to control the Xiao family, and may even have a dispute with Chu Junyi...

Chu Junyi shook his head and refused: "Brother, these people want to hurt Ninghua, I will not take them in." Ninghua is his reverse scale, once someone touches it, he will never die!
