2358 Fire
After Su Mang left the palace, he did not go directly to Fang Mansion. Instead, he returned to the Wucheng Bingma Division, and he had to take Wu Zuo there.
The Fang Mansion was a little quiet at the moment. No one came to express condolences at noon. Huang Rushi was not at the mourning hall either. Instead, she went back to the house to rest for a while. She was tired of kneeling and crying all day long. She wished she could do it now. The funeral hall was set on fire. It would be best to burn the coffin and corpse!
In this way, no one can know what happened.
As soon as she returned to the house, Songqin ran in in a panic, came up to her and said nervously: "Madam, I'm sorry, I heard that Mr. Su Mang went to the palace to see the emperor today!"
"What did you say?" Huang Rushi almost jumped out of her chair when she heard this: "Is the news reliable?"
"It's absolutely true. It came from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Department. Moreover, Su Mang came out of the palace and went directly to find Wu Zuo. As soon as the man learned the news, he immediately came to tell the slaves. I heard that Lord Su Mang Coming soon!”
If he comes again, he will have to examine the body. Huang Ru was a little anxious: "What should I do? What should I do?"
Mrs. Huang couldn't come over until the afternoon because she had something to do at home. Su Mang was planning to bring someone here at the moment. What if he really wanted to examine the body?
Songqin was also very nervous, but she still said: "Madam, why don't you do the same as yesterday, cry and pretend to be faint, and get away with it!"
Huang Ru was about to cry but had no tears: "Do you think you can hide it for one day or two days? Mr. Su not only went to fight in the war, but also detained prisoners. Do you think he was deceived by me for one day and can still be deceived by me?" The next day, he went to the palace so anxiously and planned to come to my place after he came back. I guess he must have received the emperor's order to conduct an autopsy!"
Songqin opened her mouth wide with disbelief on her face: "No... it's impossible, right? This is the official's family matter, and if the master's death is really caused by Shen Wenjun, his dictation will be criticized by the world. ! What will all the officials think of him when he insults his minister’s body?”
Although Huang Rushi also knew it, he was not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!
She was a little nervous, and the hand holding Songqin was shaking a little: "Who is on duty in the mourning hall now?"
It was noon, and the servants in the mourning hall were all a little sleepy. And because there are things going on everywhere in the house, there are no people guarding the mourning hall.
Today's noon arrangement is for Miss Xiaoyue next to Fang Peiya.
As soon as she got up, she came to the mourning hall to take charge.
I still have some energy now. After burning two pieces of paper money and paying my respects, I knelt down in the mourning hall.
The food was delivered by the servants in person. Xiaoyue was indeed a little hungry. She stayed awake all night last night and had a rest this morning. Now that she was eating, Xiaoyue was a little bit hungry.
After eating and the servants took away the food, Xiaoyue felt her eyelids trembling, and she finally lost her strength and fainted.
Songqin, who had been waiting outside for a long time, saw her and hurriedly ran in secretly. When she saw Xiaoyue unconscious, she set fire to the spiritual flags arranged in the mourning hall.
Before the coffin could be set, Songqin pushed it open. She didn't dare to look at the deceased in the coffin. She directly threw the torch in her hand into the coffin, then closed it again, and then sneaked away. gone.
Xiaoyue got up quickly. When she saw that the spiritual flag was burned and there was a strong smell of burning, she shouted loudly: "The water has escaped, the water has escaped..."
There were spiritual flags everywhere in the room, and within a short time it was already on fire. Xiaoyue shouted, and all the servants came here to put out the fire.
Fang Peiya also heard the sound of running water, and hurriedly ran over to take a look, and saw Xiaoyue staggering out of the fire, with smoke and dust on her face.
Seeing that Xiaoyue was fine, Fang Peiya felt relieved and asked, "What's going on?"
Xiaoyue was in shock: "I don't know. I don't know why. I suddenly fainted just now. When I woke up, the fire was already so big!"
Fang Peiya looked at the burning mourning hall and felt entangled in her heart. At this moment, Huang Ruzhi, supported by Songqin, also walked out. As soon as she saw this scene, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Master, master, my body is still inside."
After she yelled, she rushed inside regardless. Songqin grabbed her and shouted: "Madam, with such a big fire, you will only die if you go in. No, no..."
Huang Ru didn't believe it and wanted to rush in. With a sad look on his face, he seemed to be in love with Fang Zheng.
Her two maids held her waist and hugged her. Huang Ru kept struggling, looking at the fire inside, and yelled heartbreakingly: "Master, Master..."
The fire was put out quickly. Because it was broad daylight, the fire was put out in time, and all those burned were some spiritual flags. The fire extinguishing department also quickly discovered the abnormality here and sent a rescue team quickly. We arrived at the fire scene and put out the fire very quickly.
Everything in the mourning hall was burned a lot, but overall it was still in good condition.
The mourning flags had been burned completely, the tables, chairs and stools were all burnt black, and even the coffin in the middle of the mourning hall was burnt black.
There was smoke inside, and Huang Ru rushed in regardless, shouting: "Master, you died miserably. Even after death, you were not immune to this disaster. Who killed thousands of people?" Who is it that set the fire?"
After she yelled, she turned back with sharp eyes and said through gritted teeth: "Who is on duty at noon today?"
The servants all had dark faces. You looked at me, I looked at you, and finally, they all turned their attention to Xiaoyue.
A servant said: "Madam, at noon today, the spirit of Miss Xiaoyue next to the noble man is guarding!"
Fang Peiya's pupils suddenly shrank, this is a game!
Then another servant said: "My slave was doing well when delivering food to Miss Xiaoyue, but... as soon as I left, there was a fire. I... don't know what happened!"
Huang Rushi glanced at Xiaoyue, who looked confused: "I fainted, and when I woke up, it was already on fire."
