Chapter 440: Undercurrents are surging
It's been two days since the day the fire started, but a lot remains unresolved. For this situation, the emperor was a little impatient. Since the fire, he has stayed at Hakubaji Temple in order to facilitate the resolution of various things.
Although he was worried about these things every day and every night, the situation was still not optimistic, and the identity of the body that had been fished out of the well that day had not been identified, which gave him a headache. On this day, while he was distressed, there was a sudden knock on the door. When the door opened, I saw that it was the guard who had been sent out to investigate the identity of the corpse.
The emperor's eyes lit up, and a feeling of joy appeared on his face, and he looked at the guards in front of him with anticipation. After the guards saluted respectfully, they knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and said: "Your Majesty, the identity of the body fished out of the well that day has been ascertained, it is a woman who was abducted and sold to the pilgrims who came to the White Horse Temple to offer incense. He was then brutally murdered and thrown into a well. ”
"Can you find out who was trafficked?" The Emperor asked eagerly.
"It's an organization called Baiyun'an, and the subordinates continued to track it down and found that "they seemed to be afraid of what they were going to say, and the guards hesitated."
"But it doesn't hurt to say, you don't have to be afraid."
With the emperor's encouragement, the guard continued, "The subordinates also discovered that Baiyun Nunnery and Luhou Mansion are inextricably linked. ”
The guard said this in one breath, but the emperor did not answer him immediately. Not only did the guard break out in a cold sweat, but he felt that he had said the wrong thing in his heart, and he was about to open his mouth to plead guilty. The emperor's voice came from the direction of the table, without any waves,
"Did anyone else know about it while you investigated?"
"Back to the Holy Lord, there was only one minister when the minister investigated, and it was extremely secretive, so no one else learned of this news." The guards were very cautious in their wording, for fear of saying the wrong thing, but they did not dare to hide the truth.
After a while, the emperor spoke again: "That's good, don't tell anyone else about this matter." Okay, you can step down. The guard got up and thanked him, then turned and left.
The emperor in the house was lost in thought, and he understood that the fire and assassination of the White Horse Temple were no accident. The Peony Sect and the Luhou Mansion are also involved, but I am afraid that if they investigate too deeply, they will not only find out anything, but also be prone to accidents.
But this time, let it know about the dirty things in Luhou Mansion, but it can't be without gain.
The disgust for Luhou Mansion increased a little more.
"Qi Xiaoxian, it's been two days, just let me go, I can take care of myself, no matter how bad it is, aren't there still Xiaowan and Zhiying." Ruan Di looked at the ginseng soup in front of him and the man behind the ginseng soup with a resentful expression. "If I drink ginseng soup and eat so many supplements, I will become a pig."
Qi Xiaoxian looked at the complaining Ruan Di leisurely, raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Well, Madam is too thin, it's better to be fat." lest you go out and be told that I have mistreated you. Besides, how can there be such a good-looking pig as Madame. ”
Ruan Di couldn't help gritting his teeth, and pretended to be fierce and looked at Qi Xiaoxian: "Okay, Qi Xiaoxian, if you do this again, I won't talk to you." Then he turned around angrily and ignored Qi Xiaoxian.
Seeing her so childish, Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, his wife is so cute, this is a mother, and she loves to play childishly so much, and I don't know which child or her is more like a child in the future. Thinking like this, I can't help but laugh out loud.
Seriously, Qi Xiaoxian had the best way to deal with Ruan Di like this, and suddenly raised his voice, "Jiang Liang, did you buy back a sauce pig's trotter that you asked you to buy yesterday?" ”
The angry man in front of him seemed to move, but still didn't turn around.
Jiang Liang was suddenly asked, his face full of doubts, "Master, didn't you yesterday" received Qi Xiaoxian's vicious eyes, and he swallowed the second half of the sentence back into his stomach. Immediately understood what Qi Xiaoxian meant, and twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly.
Then he replied loudly: "Master, I'm just about to leave, just a sauce pig's trotter." After spending so much time with the couple, he certainly knew what to say.
Qi Xiaoxian nodded at him with satisfaction, and then replied, "I suddenly don't want to eat it, so you don't have to buy it." ”
Hearing this, Ruan Di was immediately deflated, hurriedly turned around, and said in a very small voice, "I want to eat pig's trotters with sauce." During her days at the monastery, she became very fond of all kinds of meat outside, but she could only eat vegetarian food every day. In addition, she likes to eat meat in the first place, so she misses foods such as pork trotters with sauce even more.
"What did Madame say, the voice was too low to hear clearly." Qi Xiaoxian still looked at the person in front of him with a smile.
"I said I wanted to eat pig's trotters in sauce!" Ruan Di shouted in annoyance, and then glared at Qi Xiaoxian angrily.
Seeing her appearance, Qi Xiaoxian didn't continue to laugh, looked at Ruan Di with a pampered face, and then told Jiang Liang to go out and buy sauce pig's trotters.
But at this time, Ruan Di silently raised the two fingers of one hand to his face, looking at him with flattery. Qi Xiaoxian immediately stopped Jiang Liang, who was just about to step out of the door: "Jiang Liang, it's two sauce pig's trotters." ”
After answering, Jiang Liang rushed to the store. On the road, he has been slandering Qi Xiaoxian, and every time he lets him be caught in the middle, watching the two of them fall in love. However, he also sighed that he hoped that he could meet a good person in the future.
After Jiang Liang went out, Ruan Di still refused to drink ginseng soup, and Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but say righteously: "If you don't drink ginseng soup, you won't have sauce pig's trotters to eat." ”
Ruan Di glanced at the ginseng soup in front of him with a sad face, and weighed the two things of eating pig's trotters and not drinking ginseng soup. Then she resolutely chose to eat pig's trotters, because in her heart, nothing is more important than pig's trotters!
Then he took the ginseng soup and brought it to his mouth, and drank it with a sad and angry face. Looking at her appearance, I knew that she was drinking ginseng soup, and I didn't know that I thought she was drinking poison, as if she wanted to be generous and righteous.
After drinking, Ruan Di put the bowl on the table with a "clang-" sound, and the more Qi Xiaoxian looked at his daughter-in-law, the more cute she felt, well, she was a little stupid.
"Madame, you are so cute." Thinking about it, Qi Xiaoxian couldn't help but say it, but he felt that it was true, so he didn't regret it.
I saw Ruan Di's face turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then looked at Qi Xiaoxian vigilantly: "What kind of wind are you making, why did you suddenly say such disgusting things." ”
This time, Qi Xiaoxian did not answer, but looked at Ruan Di with a smile. He only felt that the years were quiet, and hoped that time could stop at this moment, so that the two of them could stay together forever away from their troubles.
