MTL - Transmigrated As Cannon Fodder To Marry-Chapter 76
In the scorching heat of summer, I couldn't sleep, and my heart was full of irritability and dryness. When the watchman shouted outside the wall that he was safe and sound with a gong, Jiang Lin was still lying down in the pavilion in the courtyard to enjoy the shade.
There is very little rain this year, especially after the summer, there has been no rain for more than a month, but the sun is getting hotter and hotter every day, and the heat is so hot that Jianglin can't stand it, and I run every night Gazebo overnight.
But unlike usual, tonight he was a little restless, always feeling like something was going to happen.
Jiang Lin was shaking his fan when suddenly he heard the watchman outside the wall shout, "Who is it?"
Jiang Lin immediately sat up straight, trying to listen more carefully, but he didn't hear the watchman's voice, but heard a rush of knocking on the door of Wei's house, so hard that he was in the courtyard can be heard.
Xun Qi flew down from the roof, "Young Madam, I'll go to the front yard to have a look."
Jiang Lin walked out of the pavilion, "I'll go, you go and carry Yun Qi to your young master's bed, and you will guard in the yard."
Except for the servants who were on duty at night, everyone else was asleep. Seeing that Jiang Lin was about to open the door, a servant from Zhaoyun Garden followed him with a lantern, and asked Jiang Lin curiously, "It's so late, young lady, Who do you think will knock on the door?"
Jiang Lin didn't know, he said, "Open the door and take a look."
After arriving at the gate, Jiang Lin lifted the lantern, and the servant took down the latch. As soon as the door opened, Jiang Lin met a sweaty and anxious face. You killed Miss Su. Young Madam, go and have a look."
Jiang Lin looked at the strange face in front of him, indifferent, and the other party called out tentatively, "Young Madam?"
Jiang Lin asked coldly, "Who are you?"
The other party pulled his tattered clothes that were obviously dressed as a beggar, "Young Madam, I am a beggar on duty in the small courtyard today, so I don't have time to explain so much, Young Madam, come and see with me."
After speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin dodged, and his eyes fell on the stone in the opponent's hand. It was obvious that the stone was used to smash the door just now, which is why the sound was so loud.
Jiang Lin asked, "Where's the watchman?"
The other party was obviously even more puzzled, "Young Madam, what are you talking about? What watchman? Young Madam, let's go quickly. If we go late, something will happen to Miss Su."
"You ran in the wrong direction," Jiang Lin pointed to the right side, "You came from this side, so you met the watchman. And people from the small courtyard will come in from the left, let's say, knock on the door in the middle of the night, What is the purpose?"
The boy looked at Jiang Lin adoringly from behind, the young lady is so powerful, she even knew where this person came from.
And after Jiang Lin finished speaking, the other party stopped pretending to be a beggar, and showed a fierce expression, "Since you have seen through it, I can only get rid of you."
The other party used both hands, waved a handful of white powder with his left hand, and the stone that knocked on the door with his right hand slammed straight at Jiang Lin's forehead.
Jiang Lin also raised his foot and kicked out the moment he made a move. Jiang Lin avoided the stone, but accidentally got the powder into his eyes.
The boy called him from behind, but the fake beggar who was kicked out burst into laughter when he saw Jiang Lin's reaction, "They all said how difficult you are to deal with, so it turned out to be nothing more than that, Jiang Lin, today is your death day! "
The other party took out a dagger and attacked Jiang Lin. Jiang Lin closed his eyes and sneered, "I can kill you without eyes."
Jiang Lin got entangled with the fake beggar, and within two moves, the servant shouted anxiously, "Young Madam is not well, it's on fire, it's on fire, it's a big fire."
As soon as Jiang Lin heard it, he knew that there was a reason for his uneasiness tonight. This fake beggar wanted to lure him away, and setting fire or killing people was the real purpose of these people.
Jiang Lin became ruthless, and after dodging the fake beggar's attack, he grabbed his neck with his backhand, "You will have to pay for your arrogance," Jiang Lin said with force, and he directly broke the fake beggar's neck.
Jiang Lin clapped his hands, his face indifferent, "Your master should have told you that I'm not easy to deal with, but unfortunately, you didn't believe me."
Jiang Lin asked the servant to go outside with a lantern to see how the watchman was doing. He drank the spirit spring water to detoxify himself, and then headed towards the fire.
It wasn't Wei's house that caught fire, but a small house behind Wei's house. The fire was so big that it could reach Wei's house with just a blow of wind. It happened to be Zhaoyun Garden where they lived.
When Jiang Lin returned to Zhaoyunyuan, he saw Xun Qi fighting two masked men in Wei Yunqi's room, so it was aimed at their children again.
Wei Yunzhao hugged the sleepy-eyed Wei Yunqi under the eaves, listening to the butler ordering the servants in the mansion to help put out the fire.
After a while, not only the fire came over, but also several other places started to smoke. It was obvious that the other party wanted to burn the Wei family down.
Jiang Lin called Chang An and asked him to beat the gongs on the street, rousing all the people nearby to help put out the fire and pay him wages.
If the fire is not extinguished, not only the Wei family will be destroyed, but also the surrounding houses will suffer.
Jiang Lin asked Wei Yunzhao, "Do you think it is one group of people or two groups?"
He set fire and killed people, and wanted to lure him away, which shows that he was well prepared.
The most important thing is that the other party seemed very sure that he would be the one who opened the door, and it was not surprising at all. It also showed that someone had been monitoring Wei's house for a long time, but they hadn't noticed it yet.
Wei Yunzhao didn't know, so he just said, "If there are two groups of people, then there are a little few people."
As soon as the words fell, the two men in black suddenly jumped down from the roof, with a clear goal, and went straight to Wei Yunqi, who was held by Wei Yunzhao.
Jiang Lin glanced at Wei Yunzhao, "Crow's mouth!"
Disliked the perfect person, Jiang Lin started fighting with those two men in black, and this was just the beginning, every time Jiang Lin solved two people, two more would appear soon, and some people even shot sniper arrows, Jiang Lin almost fell for the trick .
The old soldiers in the mansion also came out to help, and the other party's arrows even killed the servants in the mansion who rescued the water, killing several people in a row.
Jiang Lin called out to Wei Yunzhao, and Wei Yunzhao protected Wei Yunqi with one hand, while using hidden weapons, he knocked down all the people who were shooting arrows from the roof.
Because of the continuous influx of black-clothed killers, the entire Wei family was in chaos. There were sounds of shouting for water to put out the fire, the sound of weapons colliding and fighting, and the sounds of wives and maidservants shouting in various courtyards. This was destined to be an uneasy night.
On the fourth watch, the fire finally went out, but half of Wei's house was burned down, and several nearby houses suffered.
Zhaoyun Garden was also full of dead bodies. Jiang Lin was holding a sword, and the tip of the sword was dripping blood. He killed many people, more than he killed in the small courtyard last time. Jiang Lin himself was also covered in blood, his clothes were stained red, and the blood that first splashed on his face had dried up.
Besides him, many killers died in the hands of Xun Qi and Wei Yunzhao. Even the little girl Wei Yunjia killed people in order to protect the other two little girls.
Regardless of whether it was murder or arson, whether it was a gang or not, what is certain is that the other party paid their money to kill them.
Jiang Lin ordered his servants to clean the yard, and brought Wei Yunjia and the little girls to Zhaoyun Garden to stay with Wei Yunzhao, while he himself went to see Mrs. Wei and the others.
Killers also came to the wives' courtyards. Although they were all besieged and killed by veterans in the mansion in the end, they also injured many people. One of Mrs. Wei and the third aunt Wei Yunzhao were injured and the other was frightened and fainted. In the evening, the opponent suffered heavy losses, but the Wei family was also seriously injured.
Mrs. Wei was afraid, she kept pulling Jiang Lin and refused to let her go, besides being afraid, she also complained, thinking that Jiang Lin's behavior was too flamboyant, which caused trouble for the Wei family, and now led to a murderous disaster.
Mrs. Wei cried and said, "Of course you are not afraid if you have kung fu, but for us, those people can kill us with a single blow. Jiang Lin, I beg you, don't cause trouble anymore, I just want to live well. "
Jiang Lin withdrew his hand, not to say he was angry, but he felt that a dog can't change eating shit, and this person's nature is also hard to change.
Jiang Lindao: "Several aunts in the second, third and fourth rooms can say this, but you are the only one who can't and is not qualified."
"Mr. Dong, remember, without me, you would have died many times. But don't worry, I won't care about your life in the future. For me, it's better if there is one less person who will blame me. .”
Jiang Lin took all the aunts from the second, third and fourth rooms to Zhaoyun Garden, except Mrs. Wei.
When Mrs. Wei heard the news, she burst into tears, and incidentally scolded Jiang Lin for being a disaster.
The second aunt heard Mrs. Wei scolding Jiang Lin outside the door, and sighed, "Why can't she figure it out, it's obvious that the Wei family has dragged Xiao Lin down."
The fourth aunt answered, "I'm afraid I was frightened. As long as someone dislikes the Wei family, no matter how peaceful you are, you can't avoid it. God has no eyes."
Jiang Lin didn't comment on this. Anyway, people who are sober and wise will always be sober, and those who are unclear will never be clear for a lifetime.
This night, destined to be sleepless, after arranging everyone else, Jiang Lin sat in the pavilion in a daze, Wei Yunzhao bandaged him beside him.
At dawn, Jiang Lin said, "Wei Yunzhao, I think the blood of the Yue family is so dirty, I want to kill that **** right now."
Wei Yunzhao pulled down his sleeves to cover his arms, "Well, let's ask Yue Heng, if no one from the Yue family can be the emperor, I will rebel."
Jiang Lin rolled his eyes, surprised, "Why did I suddenly have this idea."
"I don't want to see you get hurt again. This is the third time. I remember it."
"What kind of reason is that, and it's an afterthought. You only said it after I was injured." Jiang Lin didn't believe it.
Wei Yunzhao said truthfully, "Because in their eyes, human life is not worth mentioning."
He realized this cruel fact more clearly every time, "They are here tonight for Yun Qi, a child, I can't figure out what kind of threat it can pose to them, so many people are sent to kill him .”
Jiang Lin patted him, "Because the children will grow up, and when they grow up, they will be as dazzling as their father and brother, making people fearful. But the simplest reason is that after his death, your Wei family will be extinct."
Jiang Lin poked Wei Yunzhao's leg, "After all, you can't give birth either."
Wei Yunzhao: "..." There is no way to refute.
Jiang Lin got up and pushed him away, "It's dawn, let's go to the Yamen."
Jiang Lin ordered the housekeeper to arrange for people to pile up the corpses on a cart and send them to the Yamen together. Not only he and Wei Yunzhao, Jiang Lin also asked the housekeeper to call several families whose houses were burned nearby. Tucao, "Yin Ji may be annoying us to death, it's not good to go to him every time."
But I really can't blame them for this matter, if no one is looking for trouble, Jiang Lin feels that he must be happily making money.
Yin Ji also really didn't want to see them, but there was nothing he could do. There was so much fire last night, and no one who lived in the neighborhood didn't know what happened last night.
So Yin Ji arrived at the yamen before he even had time to go to the court, but when he saw the truckloads of corpses, he was still shocked, so he almost turned around on the spot and let Jiang Lin and the others transport them back.
Before the two of Jiang Lin spoke, the neighbors whose houses were burned surrounded Yin Ji and asked him, the prefect, to help find the person who set the fire and compensate their houses.
In order to deal with these people, Yin Ji had no choice but to ask someone to ask for leave for him. Today, he will not be able to go to court.
Jiang Lin didn't say much, but suggested Yin Ji to remind Emperor Changde that if he did too many bad things, he would lose his reputation, and he would not end up with a ruined reputation like Cao Lan'er, and everyone should scold him.
He also advised Yin Ji to quickly resign from his position as the governor of Shengjing Prefecture and go back to be his young minister of Dali Temple, otherwise sooner or later the emperor who loves to kill and find trouble will be tormented to death.
Yin Ji rolled his eyes and told Jiang Lin to **** off. Jiang Lin shrugged, "I'm kind, but you don't appreciate it."
Yin Ji spat out a word indifferently, "Get lost!"
The few times this couple came to the Yamen, he could live a few more years, and he didn't want to see them at all.
Jiang Lin obediently pushed Wei Yunzhao away. Although he experienced unpleasant things all night, looking at Yin Ji, who was also battered, Jiang Lin felt a little better.
He pushed Wei Yunzhao around the street and bought a lot of things before the two went back home.
On the way, Wei Yunzhao asked Jiang Lin, "Madam, do you not believe what I said earlier?"
Jiang Lin didn't react, "What are you talking about?"
"Rebellion," Wei Yunzhao spat out two words.
Jiang Lin understood, "Are you trying to say that I don't believe you are willing to rebel for me?"
Jiang Lin thought for a while and said, "It's not that I don't believe it. You can tell from the fact that you are actively defending me against swords and arrows. You are willing to do many things for me. Lan Yan, if it is done, you will shoulder the burden of governing the world and be responsible for your tens of millions of people. If you fail, those who rebelled with you will not be able to please, and many people will die."
"Wei Yunzhao, are you ready?"
Wei Yunzhao didn't speak, Jiang Lin said again, "And what I said is different from what you said, I just said it, it's on a whim. But if you say it, you have to do it. Although I encouraged you to rebel at the beginning I mean, but I thought about it later, you are not mine alone when you become emperor, and I might not want you."
If there are other women or men, no matter what the reason is, he can't accept it.
Jiang Lin laughed after finishing speaking, "Hey, people are so complicated. I was the one who wanted you to be the emperor before, and it's me who doesn't want you now."
Wei Yunzhao thought, he is also very complicated. He was the one who firmly said that he didn't have this idea before, but now he is the one who gave birth to this idea.
Jiang Lin concluded in the end, "Let's let nature take its course. Maybe we can choose a good seed again. At worst, you will be the regent at that time. Let's choose a child and raise it. Just raise it well."
The two were discussing whether they wanted to be emperor on the street, thinking that the emperor's cabbage and radish could be bought casually.
Xun Qi followed the two of them, feeling that his young master and young wife were really extraordinary, and they were beyond the reach of ordinary people.
…
The fire failed to burn down Wei's house, and none of the people who wanted to be burned to death survived.
So many killers took advantage of someone setting fire to kill a child, but in the end they didn't even touch the hem of the child's clothes, and none of the killers they sent came back.
After receiving the news and reacting to the news, both parties were furious.
After Cao Laner became a waste, she lived in the cold palace, and her life was not bad. The biggest change was that when she was angry, she wanted to get angry and there was nothing to throw, because there were no decorations in the room, and there was only one bed and one dressing room. She was so angry that she stepped on the ground covered with weeds a few times.
Then he cursed Jiang Lin and Wei Yunzhao viciously, and then began to condemn the people sent by Qiu Xi as useless, "I asked you to burn the entire Wei family, what are you doing, do you think that this palace has entered the cold palace?" Do you dare to disobey orders and not take this palace seriously?"
Qiu Xi hurriedly shook her head, "No, it's because the Wei family discovered it early and put out the fire too quickly, so it didn't burn out."
Cao Laner still scolded, "You can't count on any useless trash."
Qiu Xi asked Cao Lan'er, "Madam, the Wei family has gone to report to the officials again, what if the emperor pursues it?"
Cao Lan'er sneered, "Pursue it? I'm in the cold palace. I can't get out, and I can't see outsiders. What's the matter with me?"
As Cao Lan'er said, a good idea came to her mind, "Setting fire to kill people is still a third-rank court official. There are not many people who dare to do this. It's not my palace, it can only be..."
There was a glint in Cao Lan'er's eyes, and Qiu Xi listened to her, and whispered a few words, "Go, let's do it now, I am waiting to see this good show."
When Qiu Xi heard Cao Lan'er's words, she was extremely shocked, "Your Majesty, something will happen if you do this."
Cao Lan'er didn't care, "I have been abolished, and I live in this cold palace, what else can happen, or do you think that I can't control you after being in the cold palace?"
Qiu Xi naturally said she didn't dare, but she still felt that it was too bold. If she did it, she might lose her head. Qiu Xi planned to go to the East Palace to ask the prince.
On the other side, Emperor Changde, who asked Qian Yongfu to arrange for someone to kill Wei Yunqi, received the news that the killer was wiped out. He looked at Qian Yongfu coldly, "I have raised a group of useless trash? So many people?" , you can’t even kill a child of a few years old, what use is there for you!”
Gan Yongfu was so frightened that his knees went limp and he knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, my servant...I didn't expect that the two of Wei Jiang are so troublesome, so many people can't get rid of them, this servant is guilty."
Emperor Changde smiled, "Of course you are guilty, Gan Yongfu, have you forgotten what I said before, I want you to get rid of that child, otherwise..." Emperor Changde directly grabbed Gan Yongfu by the neck and lifted him up. Get up, "If he doesn't die, you have to die, those useless things are dead, Qian Yongfu, what do you think I should do with you?"
Gan Yongfu's eyes were full of fear. He had been with Emperor Changde for many years, so he naturally knew that Emperor Changde was really murderous.
Qian Yongfu didn't dare to struggle at all, he could only beg for mercy, Emperor Changde's hands became more and more forceful, until Qian Yongfu's eyes turned white, and he almost died before letting go.
Qian Yongfu coughed violently and knelt on the ground to thank him.
Emperor Changde asked, "Now, do you know what to do?"
Gan Yongfu answered intermittently, "I know... I know, I... I will do it now."
Emperor Changde waved his hand, "Go, don't let me down."
Gan Yongfu scrambled out of Emperor Changde's bedroom, and Emperor Changde went to find his beauty.
Emperor Changde, who was immersed in the gentleness, naturally didn't know that his deposed empress who had been thrown into the cold palace gave him a big gift.
A few well-dressed men entered a teahouse on Shengjing Street. As soon as they entered, they chatted, "Have you heard about it?"
Someone nodded, "I heard that, but I really didn't expect it."
"No, it's really incredible."
One person asked the question, the other two nodded in agreement, with subtle expressions on their faces, and only one person was puzzled, "You can explain clearly, what is the situation, and what is it that you didn't expect?"
The few people seemed to be in a dilemma, hesitating and refusing to speak, but the person who asked the question immediately assured that he would keep the secret absolutely and would not reveal it.
"Okay," the leader said, "Then I'll tell you, it's said that the fire in Wei's house last night was set off by our emperor."
This stunned the listeners, and they shouted on the spot, "How is it possible, how could our emperor let people set fire to the courtier's house, it is absolutely impossible."
When he yelled, everyone around looked over, and the people at the same table immediately stood up and covered his mouth, "What are you shouting, do you still want to hear it?"
The man nodded naturally, covered his mouth and sat down again, expressing that he would never yell again, but after this, the people around him naturally pricked up their ears to listen to what these people were talking about.
The leader went on to say: "How is that impossible? It's not like you don't know that the abolished queen has an affair with General Wei Su. The emperor abolished the queen, and he can still spare the Wei family. Last night, you didn't just set fire to it. Did you guys?" I saw that the Wei family pushed several carts of corpses to the Yamen this morning. I heard that they were all going to kill Mr. Wei. Think about it, there are so many killers, if it is not a person with status, where can I find so many killers? go."
Those who listened nodded seriously, "That's right, so the emperor made such a fuss in order to take revenge on the Wei family."
"No, our emperor is too narrow-minded. Not to mention that General Wei Su is dead, but to say that this matter was not General Wei Su's fault in the first place. He ran to the edge of the prison to avoid that flamboyant woman behind him. Isn’t that enough? In the end, the abolished queen killed General Wei Su out of love and hatred, and the emperor even sent someone to kill General Wei Su’s son. What’s the matter?”
The other two nodded, "This Wei family is really unlucky to meet such a narrow-minded master."
"No, it's a pity and a pity that after fighting for so many years, it ended up like this."
"Hey, forget it, let's talk about these things in private, you must not spread them around, or you will lose your head if you let that person find out. Think about the killers that the Wei family sent to the yamen I don’t know how many people have been raised, it’s too easy to kill ordinary people like us.”
Several people looked at each other, all kept silent, and left in a hurry after drinking tea.
But the people sitting around in the same teahouse heard it all, so it was natural to share such amazing news immediately.
When Emperor Changde received the news, more than half of the people in Shengjing knew that because he was dissatisfied with Wei Su's past with the abolished empress, he wanted to get rid of Wei's family by killing and setting fire.
