daughter in power

Chapter 180
The Tingfeng Building of the Jiang family was confiscated by the court, and they sent people to escort the Jiangs and his wife, trying to force Princess Xiaoyang to show up.

In the end, he failed to force Princess Xiaoyang out, nor did he capture the other cronies.

The imperial court was so angry that they could only burn down the Tingfeng Tower with a single fire.

After that, they even sent people to guard the Tingfeng Tower for more than half a year.

Naturally, they didn't find anything of value, and the last seal was pasted on the Tingfeng Building, and it was considered a matter of course.

Everyone in the world knows that the Jiangs died in the fire, and their deaths were unjust and pitiful.

The neighbors around quietly came to worship a few times, but they heard crying in the middle of the night and lying in the middle of the night, kicked over the sacrifices in fright, and spread rumors everywhere.

It is only said that Tingfeng Tower is haunted.

It is the Jiang family who are at fault.

Qiqi never showed up, and King Xiaoyang lost his freedom again. What can the family do to the court?

The imperial court is naturally too lazy to manage.

However, it does not prohibit the common people from spreading rumors. The right is to kill chickens and monkeys, so that the rest of the common people can see clearly the rules of the court.

It's more than a year to make such a fuss.

Qiqi said: "Since you can't travel, how can you buy rice, flour, grain and oil on weekdays? Do you have money?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "Silly boy, the prince gave us a lot of money back then. How can we use it up? Besides, there is also a gold box hidden in the underground attic, which was prepared by the prince in the past."

Qiqi does not understand.

Jiang Maoyou hurriedly explained again.

It turned out that since King Xiaoyang sent her to Xiaoyang City, he gave Jiang Maoyou a letter.

It is only said that it involves seizing the reserve, life is in danger, and fortune and misfortune are unpredictable.

In times of crisis, be sure to open the letter.

Jiang Maoyou solemnly put the letter behind the shrine in the hall, and he didn't remember it until the day when the fire extinguished the house.

Busy to open the letter.

But I learned the secret under the attic of Tingfeng.

Immediately hid in with the servants.

Yun Huaiqing looked around: "Since the servants are all hiding in, why are there only three of you?"

Jiang Maoyou waved his hand: "It was hard for the officials to withdraw, so they dismissed them and ordered them to take the silver and escape from the world. The old man and his wife are waiting here, and they want to wait for their two children."

Like Qiqi and Jiang Jinsong, once they survived, they must first find Jiang Maoyou and his wife.

They didn't leave, naturally because they were afraid that the children would worry.

Qiqi felt ashamed: "I... I only guessed that you guys have undergone drastic changes, and I thought about going to the city to find out the news first. But I didn't think about going home first to check on your safety."

Mrs. Jiang was cheerful, but there were tears in her smile: "Didn't you see it? You are not stupid, why would you come home as soon as you enter the city. How can there be any living people here..."

Finally saw it.

Everyone asked each other, and finally settled down.

There was a large table for dinner, and Yu'er served everyone with a smile: "It's really lively today, our house hasn't been so lively for a long time."

Fortunately, there were so many people in the imperial court and they were stupid, so they set fire to the Tingfeng Building, and seeing no one running out, they thought they were all burned to death.

If the bones are counted, wouldn't there be many disasters.

Qiqi nodded and smiled slightly: "We are destined to die. If we survive a catastrophe, we will have future blessings. Our family is all blessed."

Yun Huaiqing said: "I thought it was better to go to the mass grave and steal some bones back, throw them all over the yard in a mess, and teach the people in the court to be at ease."

A yard of bones, who can do it?

Mrs. Jiang sighed: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just a little scary. Besides, the master's body, where can I find those many bones..."

Yun Huaiqing was right.

Qiqi nodded: "I have time to wait, I'll go and steal some bones back, throw them in the yard, in case someone breaks in by mistake, I know that many people died here."

The crowd nodded.

Xiao Tong ate his food and smiled, "It's finally safe. I'm willing to stay here, even if I don't go out for the rest of my life."

He was young, and everyone laughed at him for being timid.

However, what he said was not unreasonable.

Several people laughed.

Only Mrs. Xu looked like she didn't belong, maybe she was frightened.

After eating and drinking, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

Yun Huaiqing chose the top floor so that he could listen to the movement outside.

Qin Cai chose his neighbor, so naturally he meant that.

Ever since Qiqi appeared, Qin Cai treated her as his master, always taking care of her and waiting for orders.

It seems that the organization has been found.

Seeing this, Qiqi felt at ease, settled down with Mrs. Xu and Xiaotong, and then went to talk to her parents about herself.

The three parents sat in the room and talked by lighting candles.

Jiang Maoyou said: "This year, we have been hiding in the ground and did not dare to go out. We ate some pickles and drank some water every day. In the second half of the year, the officials were withdrawn, and only when we had a chance would we go up and watch for a while. But the news is limited. Hear something useful."

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "We don't even have any news about your brother. The wolf barracks he served in had already withdrawn his number. Loyal and loyal people have already been beheaded by the imperial court."

Qiqi nodded and sighed: "I don't know anything else, I only know that my husband was seriously injured and was arrested by Xia Ze. As for where he was sent, I don't know. Then Qin Cai, who was originally my husband's groom, was also arrested by Xia Ze. I met on the way to find my husband."

Jiang Maoyou nodded: "I recognize this Qin talent. He didn't talk much before, but he is good at driving."

Qin Cai is trustworthy, but there is no need to hide Yun Huaiqing's identity.

The Jiang couple was startled, and wanted to say something, but held back.

Qiqi said: "Although Yun Huaiqing is the prince of North Vietnam, he has no enmity with us. Husband's life or death is uncertain. I can come back this time, thanks to his help all the way."

Busyly reported back to his parents what happened along the way, causing the two to sigh in amazement.

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly bowed to thank the Buddha, and chanted the Buddha's name loudly, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha.

I was busy and asked about my grandson.

When he learned that Xia Xue was lost and was snatched by an unknown beast, he immediately burst into tears.

Jiang Maoyou wept from the air: "Poor my grandson, he was buried in the mouth of a beast at such a young age, and will be reborn as a human in his next life, and he will never join the emperor's family again."

Xia Xue's identity is that of a serious princess.

It's a pity that Qiqi was wrongly given to be a child, and was rounded up by the pursuers before he was a grown-up, and buried in the mouth of the beast under heavy rain, which is extremely pitiful.

Qiqi also wept: "I'm sorry for her..."

Several people were weeping for a long while, then asked Xia Bing again.

Qiqi only told about Dongfang Xiu's identity as godfather, and then asked about Dongfang Xiu's background.

The Jiang couple didn't know about these two people either.

But they clamored for her to bring back the little baby she kissed, and the old couple would take it with them.

After all, he was not at ease with Dongfang Xiu.

The whole family talked in various ways, but fortunately they were all underground and didn't know the time of day.

They didn't rest until they finished telling the story after the farewell.

Rest, the sky outside is unconscious.

I feel dark and sweet.

This was the most solid night for Qiqi to sleep since March 29.

She slept soundly and had no dreams at all.

When he woke up, Yun Huaiqing, Qin Cai and Jiang's couple were talking.

But it's okay to talk about trivial things.

On the contrary, Yun Huaiqing saw that the place was quite clean, and couldn't help admiring it.

Jiang and his wife just smiled.

Old people like to be neat and tidy, which is human nature.

A few people were drinking gruel before Xu Shi and Xiaotong woke up and came out.

Everyone hurriedly greeted them for dinner.

Xu's complexion improved a lot, and he no longer had the panic and worry of yesterday.

She smiled slightly and sat beside Qiqi, drinking porridge with everyone.

Although it is porridge, it tastes special in this safe place.

In the past, he hid in Tibet, always paying attention to his identity, for fear of being exposed.

Even when he was sleeping, he kept his eyes open and closed, not daring to really sleep to death.

Suddenly there is a sound, and it suddenly explodes, which is enough to hurt people.

Today, these skills can fall.

Yun Huaiqing gave a rare smile: "It's been a long time since I ate and drank like this. After the meal is over, I will go out with the Seventh Madam to find out some news, and bring back some bones along the way."

He is a cautious person, and he is most afraid that this stability will be broken.

If someone breaks in by mistake, it is difficult to guarantee that the secret will not be discovered.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Qin Cai said: "Qin Cai, madam and young master, let's go together."

He's not bad at this skill, and he has a housekeeping skill, so he happens to have someone to take care of him when he goes out.

Yun Huaiqing nodded, but Qiqi said: "It's all women and children staying here, I don't worry, you can stay and take care of one or two."

Qin Cai hesitated to speak, but agreed.

Mrs. Xu smiled softly: "Just go out. Master Jiang and his wife have been hiding here for a year and no one will find us. As long as we don't go out and talk here, no one will find us."

She paused slightly, and said seriously: "If one more person goes out to inquire about news, one more piece of news will be given. The life and death of the prince is uncertain, so we need to rescue him as soon as possible."

She was telling the truth.

Yun Huaiqing went out to inquire about news, but what he inquired about was not about King Xiaoyang, he naturally had other purposes and plans.

Qiqi looked at Qin Cai, and Qin Cai was very anxious, so she nodded her head: "That's fine. If there are more people, you can get more, but you must be careful here. Don't show your face in public."

Without her explaining, the Jiang couple understood very well.

Mrs. Jiang smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, your father and grandson didn't see me, how dare you mess around?"

Qiqi is finally relieved.

On the patio, to the ground, the surrounding fields are pitch black.

The night wind is warm and starry.

Qiqi was taken aback: "I actually slept for a day and a night."

Yun Huaiqing smiled: "You are tired, it is good to rest more."

The few people didn't delay anymore, and hurried to Floating Fire City to inquire about the news.

Because they all have martial arts, they don't go through the main entrance at all, they just turn over the courtyard wall and run along the path by the river.

Summer nights are very cool.

The river wind blows on the face comfortably.

It was pitch black on both sides of the river, and there were few houses.

Only Tingfeng Tower stands alone by the river, completely a ghost building.

Qiqi's gaze flashed, and she couldn't help but look back at the other side of the river, where it was also pitch black.

Nomura Martial Arts stood in the night, so inconspicuous.

It also appears to be uninhabited.

When Nomura Martial Arts was sold, King Xiaoyang quietly bought it and poached Li Keben to become the accountant of Qixi Pavilion.

But I don't know what the current situation of this Nomura martial arts school is?

If she remembered correctly, when she left Flowing Fire City, the Nomura Martial Arts Hall was still unattended.

The thought was fleeting.

She didn't dare to think too much, and ran away with Yun Huaiqing and the two of them.

In Flowing Fire City, there is no curfew, but the entire city is lifeless.

This kind of lifelessness is not because the streets are not prosperous, nor is it that the crowds are not crowded.

This deadness cannot be expressed in words at all.

It seems to represent the attitude of a regime.

The prince Xia Ze has been suppressed by the Xiaoyang King all the time. He was not favored or treated when he was young, he was not favored by his courtiers, and he was not respected by his brothers.

Today, once he gains power, he naturally wishes to trample all the people under his feet and swear his sovereignty.

In the city in the night, even the lights and feasting have changed color.

Several people dispersed, and each took their money and mixed into the tea house and wine shop.

However, until the climax of the moon, no useful news was found.

The people were all silent and refused to talk too much.

Those who drink tea drink tea, and those who drink alcohol drink alcohol, without mentioning the political affairs of the court.

As for King Xiaoyang, that was an untouchable taboo, no one said a word.

Even when asked, he just shook his head and sighed.

The winner is a prince and the loser is a thief.

The world is so big, it has been like this throughout the ages.

The three of them found no news, and even Yun Huaiqing didn't get anything useful.

The only thing I heard was that Zhang Zhongba, the commander of the army and horses, failed to rob the civilian girl Xu Yingying, but was killed by Xu Yingying's maid and bodyguard on the spot.

The whole city is looking for Xu Yingying and others.

A reward of 1000 taels of silver is offered.

This news undoubtedly made the three of them even more depressed.

To reunite, they had to agree to carry a few bones to the mass grave and go back to make up the number.
