Chapter 330: Together forever (two chapters in one)
As soon as A Yi and A Zhong left the palace, they saw the fire on the opposite side.
The Temporary Palace was formerly the old palace of the previous dynasty. Although the buildings inside were well preserved, due to the emperor and his courtiers, the old palace of the previous dynasty is now just an empty courtyard.
Before this place became a temporary palace, it was already surrounded by residential buildings. The new emperor was diligent and loved the people, so he could not drive away the people, so now it has become a scene where the palace and residential buildings are separated from each other.
The alley where Wu San's mother and son lived was the closest place to the palace among this large number of private houses.
A Yi and A Zhong could not only see the blazing fire, but even smell the burning smell.
But they were still lucky. There were other alleys in the direction of the fire. What if they were wrong and the alley where Wu San was burned was not?
The two of them leaned over to take a closer look. When they saw it, their hearts sank. It was the alley where Wu San and his son lived, and even the courtyard at the end of the alley, which was the home of Wu San and his son.
Only Wu San's family lives in this alley, so there are no neighbors to help each other put out the fire, and the alley closest to here is also separated by a road. There is no wind tonight, and no matter how big the fire is, it will not burn other alleys.
The so-called watching the fire from across the bank now means watching the fire from across the road. When Ah Yi and Ah Zhong passed by, they saw someone standing on the wall and on the roof watching the excitement.
But there was no one to put out the fire.
One of Ayi and Azhong went to notify Li Zheng here to put out the fire, and the other returned to the palace to report the news.
When Eunuch Xia heard that Wu San's house was in trouble, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, and cursed: "It's Wu San, he must be trying to escape by fire!"
Wu San, mother and son were originally death row prisoners. Although Eunuch Xia used them, he never trusted them.
In the eyes of Eunuch Xia, they are bugs and garbage.
Wu San felt that the recent errand was done well, but for Eunuch Xia, it was completely the opposite.
Otherwise, if the new emperor said he wanted to replace someone, Eunuch Xia wouldn't have sent someone to kill Wu San, mother and son tonight.
Wu San didn't know that Eunuch Xia wanted to kill Wu San, but at this moment, Eunuch Xia thought that Wu San had been prepared and escaped through the fire.
At dawn, the fire was finally put out. It was inconvenient for Eunuch Xia to go there in person. A Yi and A Zhong kept watching the fire scene. They also inquired with the people watching to make sure that no one had escaped from the fire scene.
Finally looking at the two charred corpses found, Ah Yi and Ah Zhong felt uneasy. They held their noses and ran into the charred ruins to search carefully. They finally determined that there were no other corpses.
The government official came, and after the autopsy, apart from being able to confirm that the two corpses were not children, they were unable to distinguish between men and women.
A Yi and A Zhong saw the two corpses with their own eyes. They were really burned to charcoal. Even their mother and I couldn't recognize them when they came.
Eunuch Xia became even more angry. The last time he saw Wu San, Wu San said that there were three more girls at home. But just yesterday, another little girl was lost in Jinling City. In other words, Wu San had four in his hands. Female doll.
But these four female dolls are now neither alive nor dead.
Eunuch Xia can be sure that the two corpses found in the fire that were both male and female were definitely not Wu San and his mother.
These are the two unlucky guys that Wu San found somewhere.
Murderers like Wu San, mother and son already had blood on their hands, so killing two more people was just easy for them.
As for the four female dolls, they must have been taken away by Wu San and her son.
They are kidnappers, and some are channels for selling stolen goods.
However, Eunuch Xia didn't want to let Wu San go so easily.
There was water flowing in the alley opposite. Many people in the palace saw it, and of course the new emperor also heard about it.
The new emperor is suspicious, and of course he will not believe anything that Eunuch Xia suspects.
It's just that Wu San's identity is too secret, so he can't be hunted down in a big way.
I had no choice but to let the Jin Yiwei secretly investigate. Fortunately, the current commander of the Jin Yiwei, Yan Mi, was from the former Qi Palace.
When the new emperor was still King of Qi, Yan Mi was his captain of the bodyguard.
People outside don't know about the new emperor's hobbies, but Yan Mi knows it very well.
Bai Yan couldn't stay in Qingzhou, and he also had strict merits.
This time I heard that Wu San, who was to be secretly hunted, was a kidnapper, and Yan Mi knew what was going on.
Thinking about the fire again, what else don’t you understand?
The emperor must have sent someone to set that fire, with the purpose of killing people and silencing them. Unfortunately, the kidnapper named Wu San was clever and not only was he not burned to death, but he escaped.
Yes, he understands.
Some things can be left to Jin Yiwei, but some things cannot.
For example, those four little girls.
Although he didn't know whose children those four little girls were, Eunuch Xia wanted to find out and quickly found out.
When the people he sent found the four families, they were still looking for their children. Not only them, but other families who had lost their children were also looking for them.
The children Wu San abducted in Jinling were all the treasures of the family, unlike those families who didn't care whether their daughters lived or died.
Seeing that these people didn't look like they were just pretending, Eunuch Xia ignored them.
However, this matter cannot be settled until Wu San and his mother are found.
The new emperor originally wanted to change someone to collect gadgets for him, but now it seems that the replacement can only be put aside for the time being.
As long as Wu San's mother and son are not dead, the new emperor will not be relieved.
At this time, the four little girls were in a house in Jinling City.
In the past, there was Jinghong Tower in Jinling, and Xiugu would come to visit every month. This house was where Xiugu stayed.
In just one day, the news that Yan Mi and his Jin Yiwei were secretly searching for Wu San's mother and son was sent to Xiugu.
Xiugu was startled, what's going on?
Was it that the bodies of Wu San’s mother and son were not found?
No, it must be that the emperor didn't believe that the corpse was Wu San's mother and son.
Xiugu was very happy.
When she learned that the Dog Emperor's people actually went to check on the homes of those who had lost their children, Xiugu became even more angry.
She came to a room that was scented with incense, candies and snacks were placed on the table, and various toys were placed on the couch.
But the four little girls huddled in a corner, leaning against each other. They didn't touch the candies, snacks, and toys.
Xiugu looked at them and sighed in her heart.
Originally, I wanted to send these children home, but now it seems that, at least for now, I cannot send them back.
Otherwise, what awaits them is not only the disaster of murder, but also the destruction of their entire family!
"Go and find He Hua."
He Hua came soon. She didn't dare to neglect her ancestor's call.
That night, all four families received news that their daughters were still alive.
The family that ran the snack shop lost twin girls. While other families lost one, his family lost one or two.
My wife's mind was no longer clear. She would run to the street when no one was watching, and when she saw the little girl, she would hug her.
This snack shop is considered a time-honored brand in Jinling City. Every day, diners come to inquire about it and sigh that things are unpredictable.
It was almost noon today, and the snack shop was still closed. There are a few diners who are not determined to give up and still come to visit every day.
Everyone gathered together and sighed.
"Isn't it possible that they won't be open anymore? I love their noodles the most. The toppings are one of a kind."
"I love their duck blood vermicelli soup, the duck blood melts in my mouth."
At this moment, the door of the snack shop opened from the inside, and the owner came out.
The owner is still young and just took over this shop from his father a few years ago. He is good at cooking, and some of his food tastes even better than his father's.
"Master, are you opening for business?" The diners looked expectantly.
The boss smiled bitterly: "My daughter had an accident and my wife couldn't afford it. Thank you all for taking care of her over the years. I'll treat you to dinner today."
What do you mean?
The boss wants to treat you?
But why do these words sound so sad?
"Master, did something happen?" the diner asked.
The boss wiped away tears: "After today, I will take my wife to Zhenjiang. My wife's natal family is in Zhenjiang. I will take her back to the place where she grew up and meet her relatives. Maybe her condition will get better. She can also So young."
All the diners understood that they were going back to their hometown.
Someone advised: "My boss, you and your wife are still young. When your wife recovers from her illness, you will have children."
"Yes, yes, the child can still be born, don't be too sad."
"Zhenjiang is very close to Jinling. You can come back if you want."
The boss cried uncontrollably. The woman came over last night and told him that one of his two daughters survived.
These days, he has been looking for his daughter everywhere, but he has not found her, but has attracted many scammers.
He was also defrauded of a lot of money.
But he believed what this woman said.
Because this woman told him that she was from Jinghong Tower, and his eldest daughter Lanlan was in Jinghong Tower.
The owner is from Jinling. When he was a child, he went to Jinghong Tower with his father, and he often walked in front of Jinghong Tower.
But the Jinghong Tower in Jinling has been burned down.
He shouldn't have believed it when the woman said it.
But he still believed it, even though there was no Jinghong Tower in Jinling City.
The owner cried a lot, cooked his best meal, and watched the diners finish eating. He stood at the door and said goodbye to these old diners who had taken care of his business for decades.
Everyone is trying to persuade and comfort me, but they also know that all the comfort is in vain.
Their daughter is lost, their wife is crazy, and their business can no longer continue, how can they persuade her?
After sending away the last customer, the owner closed the store and posted on the door "The owner has something to do and will return home to close the business."
The next day, someone saw the owner of the century-old restaurant supporting his crazy wife and boarding the ferry to Zhenjiang.
No one knew that they only sat on the boat for an hour before getting off the boat and taking a carriage. The end of the carriage was Huizhou.
The couple got off the carriage, and the wife sang the nursery rhymes that her two daughters loved most. The boss did not coax her as softly as usual, but stared blankly at the building in front of her.
Jinghong Tower!
It turns out that there really is Jinghong Tower in Huizhou. The woman didn’t lie to him and asked him to come to Huizhou. There really is Jinghong Tower in Huizhou.
Two carriages were parked in front of Jinghong Tower, and at this moment, another carriage drove over. Like them, a couple got out of the carriage.
When the couple saw them, the husband, who was dressed as a scholar, asked in surprise: "Excuse me, brother, have you opened a food shop on Linshui Street?"
The boss nodded: "Brother, have you come to my shop for dinner?"
Before the scholar husband could answer, his wife had already said, "I know who you are. Your daughter has been lost, right? My grandma has also been lost!"
Seeing people who had the same experience as themselves, both families breathed a sigh of relief and became more and more sure that the woman did not lie to them and that their daughter was here.
They rushed into Jinghong Tower, only to find that two families had already arrived before them.
Of those two families, one has three generations living under one roof, and the other has four generations living under one roof.
Now, like them, I left my hometown and came to Huizhou.
They looked at each other in surprise and joy.
At this time, Xiugu walked in, followed by four little girls.
"Grandma!"
"Lanlan!"
"Xiaoyun!"
"Binger!"
The four children finally met their families in this foreign land.
As for the home in Jinling, I don’t know when I can go back, but for the children, home is where they have relatives.
Even in Huizhou, these four families cannot live as openly and openly as they did in Jinling. Fortunately, there is Jinghong Tower.
Xiugu continued to explain, and Baidie quickly applied for new household registrations for the four families and arranged their residences.
In a small courtyard, the scholar's wife held her lost and found daughter in her arms, and she couldn't get enough of her.
The couple already knew what happened that day from A'nan's mouth. A'nan was abducted by an old woman and put it in a big bag when she woke up. She was later rescued.
A'nan was the luckiest child among them. She was rescued on the day she was abducted and was unconscious for most of the time. She also recovered the fastest among the four children.
Scholars read a lot and know a lot.
Although he only knew some fragments from A'nan's mouth, he also deduced that the person who abducted his daughter must not be an ordinary person, otherwise the people in Jinghong Tower would not let them come to Huizhou.
Seeing the worried look on her husband's eyebrows, the scholar asked, "Are you feeling sorry for our private school?"
After all, he was somewhat famous, and before he left, he gave the students a retreat. After reading so many books, my husband finally became a scholar.
The scholar smiled, stretched out his arms, and took his wife and daughter into his arms.
"We still have savings. From now on, I will no longer teach students. I will teach my daughter at home and teach my daughter to become a talented woman. Now it is different from before. Women can also take the imperial examination and become officials."
Yes, this Jinghong Tower belongs to the head of the family, and the head of the family has promoted many female officials.
The scholar lady also smiled: "I can take some embroidery work home and do it, and I can also supplement the family income."
In another yard next door, Lan Lan was lying on her mother's lap, letting her hair spread out and then tied up, tied up and then let go.
"Qingqing doesn't like to tie her hair up, so don't tie it up, don't tie it up."
"Lanlan likes to tie her hair up. Well, it looks really good."
The owner walked in, looked at the scene in front of him, smiled and wiped away his tears.
The wife may be in this state for the rest of her life. She can't tell which one is Lan Lan and which one is Qing Qing. However, this is fine. In the wife's heart, her two daughters are both there and the family will always be together.
