Chapter 8 Xiao Zhen's Ghost
Chapter 8 Xiao Zhen's Ghost
The resignation of Jiang Ping and other three people was not smooth.
Because this time, although only Xiao Zhen died, the Fourth Prince was also seriously injured, and Jiang Ping and the other three were at the scene. Even if they could testify to each other that someone had stopped them from going forward at the time of the incident, no one would believe it. What's more, they were not stupid, so they could only keep this matter to themselves and never tell it out loud.
Although Prince Consort Xiao and Princess Jiayi have been married for many years, they each have their own mansion. The Princess's mansion and the Xiao's mansion are only separated by a wall, but they are two mansions.
Huang Changshi is the chief secretary of the Princess's Mansion, and Jiang Ping and the other three are Xiao Zhen's guards. Although Xiao Zhen has residences in both mansions, the salaries of Jiang Ping and the other three are paid by the Xiao Mansion. In other words, only Prince Consort Xiao and Xiao Zhen father and son can decide whether the four stay or go, and even Xiao Yue has a say, and Huang Changshi has no control over them.
They came to see Huang Changshi just to go through the motions, telling Huang Changshi that they had made a mistake and were going to leave the Xiao Mansion.
However, Huang Changshi did not want to let them go like this. Although Xiao Zhen did not die in the Princess's Mansion, he died when Princess Jiayi was not in the capital. In the final analysis, it was Huang Changshi's failure to take care of him. If he had sent more guards to follow Xiao Zhen at that time, Xiao Zhen might not have died.
As long as Princess Jiayi comes back, Huang Changshi will definitely take the initiative to accept the punishment. Maybe at this moment, the censor's memorial has already been delivered to the dragon case.
Of course Huang Changshi could not let Jiang Ping and the other three leave so easily. Although they could not share the happiness, they had to bear the sins together.
Huang Changshi immediately ordered the guards of the Princess's Mansion to arrest the four men and lock them up.
There was a fire in the Princess's mansion.
Fortunately, the fire was put out in time and only two houses were burned, with no casualties.
However, when Huang Changshi hurried over, he heard two pieces of news that made him furious.
Jiang Ping and other three are missing.
It turned out that the fire was caused by the second son Xiao Yue practicing going through a fire ring.
Huang Changshi asked Xiao Yue to come over and ask him. Xiao Yue said innocently: "Huang Changshi, you are knowledgeable and you must know someone who can go through the fire ring. Can you help me find a master?"
Huang Changshi was so angry that he almost vomited blood. It's fine that you hang out with a bunch of actors all day, but now you have to learn how to go through a ring of fire? Why don't you go to heaven?
"Where are Jiang Ping and the others? Do you know, Second Young Master?"
Xiao Yueman didn't care: "As for them, I think they are annoying, so I'll just let them go."
Huang Changshi felt dizzy. It was over. There was no one left to take the blame.
"Excuse me, where did the Second Young Master tell them to go?"
Xiao Yue laughed so hard that he bent over: "Huang Changshi, I heard that you are a Jinshi, how can you ask such a funny question? The rivers, lakes and seas, they can go wherever they want. I don't have clairvoyance and clairaudience."
At this point, Xiao Yue flipped his wrists, pretending that there was an extra piece of sleeves on his hands, which he rolled into a flower. Then, he raised his orchid finger and pointed at Huang Changshi and said angrily: "You heartless enemy - ah ah ah -"
Then, before Huang Changshi could react, Xiao Yue twisted his waist, took small steps, turned around and walked away, still singing "clang clang clang clang clang"
Huang Changshi.
At this time, Jiang Ping and his four companions had already left the city overnight with the badges of the Princess's Mansion and met up with Xiao Zhen fifty miles away from the capital.
"Where is Xiao Yue?" Xiao Zhen asked.
"The second young master said he has his own hiding place, so please don't worry, eldest young master." Jiang Ping said.
Xiao Zhen really didn't need to worry, he knew that although Xiao Yue was young, he could definitely hide himself well.
Jiang Ping saw the country boy who came to deliver the letter to them, and now he was right next to his master. Jiang Ping was startled and asked, "Master, is this young man going with us?" Seeing Jiang Ping looking at him, Da Zhuang immediately straightened his chest and said, "My name is Yao Tianxiao."
Xiao Zhen nodded: "Tian Xiao, stay with me from now on, and you two will take care of each other."
The four of them greeted Da Zhuang one after another.
"Jiang Ping."
"Cai An."
"Li Xi."
"Xu Le."
Da Zhuang was happy, peaceful and happy. It turned out that the names of city people were so down-to-earth. He smiled and said, "You can just call me Da Zhuang. Everyone calls me Da Zhuang."
Jiang Ping and his companions didn't understand why Xiao Zhen brought this country boy along, but they didn't ask any more questions, as they believed that the eldest master must have his reasons.
In his previous life, Da Zhuang ran away secretly because he wanted to see the outside world. At that time, Da Zhuang had beautiful ideas. He wanted to make a name for himself outside, so he took his grandfather to live a good life with him.
However, this wish was never fulfilled, and Yao Shanbo was crushed to death by falling rocks from the mountain in the third year after Dazhuang left.
In this life, Xiao Zhen never thought that it was Yao Shanbo who took the initiative to ask Da Zhuang to go with him.
Although Yao Shanbo did not say why, Xiao Zhen guessed that it must have something to do with the fact that he was a member of the Xiao family. This mysterious doctor hidden in the mountains might have some connection with the Xiao family. However, Yao Shanbo refused to say, so Xiao Zhen did not ask. He just made up his mind secretly that after this matter was settled, he would let Dazhuang take Yao Shanbo out of Shiji Mountain.
At this time, Xiao Zhen's body had not fully recovered. According to Yao Shanbo, he could not ride a horse at all. However, he could not wait any longer, as there was not much time left for him.
At night, they changed horses at an inn and continued on their journey. The groom who was in charge of feeding the horses raised his head inadvertently and met Xiao Zhen's pale face without a trace of blood. The groom was shocked. No wonder people said that there were evil things on the road at night. No one knew whether the guest who came in the middle of the night was a human or a ghost.
This one must be a ghost.
The horseman was so frightened that he turned his head away immediately. It was not until those men changed horses and left that he mustered up the courage to turn his head back.
"Oops, I forgot to check if these people had any shadows."
The stable boy grumbled to himself and the next day he refused to work the night shift no matter what.
A few days later, someone found the inn, holding a portrait in his hand, and asked everyone if they had seen the person in the portrait. The horseman took a look and trembled. The visitor was suspicious and asked, "Have you seen this person?"
The groom boldly asked, "Is this man dead?"
The visitor narrowed his eyes: "How do you know he is dead?"
The horseman's body was shaking more and more violently. As expected, he was dead. As expected!
"Ghost, it's a ghost, it's a ghost!"
The man tried both soft and hard tactics, but the horseman insisted that he saw a ghost exactly the same as the one in the portrait. As for where the ghost flew to, the horseman pointed in a circle to the east, west, south and north. In short, it flew into the darkness. As for whether there were other people around the ghost, of course there were, including the Black and White Impermanence, with green faces and fangs.
Other people in the inn also testified that the groom did say he had seen a ghost.
In the end, the groom was slapped and kicked several times.
For some reason, this matter spread to the capital. Some people said that the ghost was Xiao Zhen. Xiao Zhen died at a young age and was unwilling to accept the death. So he wandered on the official road at night, so that for a long time afterwards, fewer people traveled on the road at night.
