[Liao Zhai] White Tiger

Although Concubine Hu Guifei was poisoned by the false queen mother, after the investigation, it was found that she had helped to do many outrageous things over the years, and even the humble maids and eunuchs in the queen mother's palace who had their hearts and brains gouged out were all with her. Inseparable from the relationship, most of them were found by her from poor people outside the palace, and she also helped to cover up and clean up after disappearance.

Therefore, although Concubine Hu Gui, who did not dare to delve into the purpose of the fake queen mother, did not know about the tragic death of these people, she was also an indirect contributor.

Concubine Hu Gui was exempt from the death penalty, but living crime was inevitable. Therefore, she was sentenced to the cold palace and was not allowed to take a single step for life.

Concubine Hu Gui, who had just transformed back into a human from the ugly form of half-human and half-demon, received this imperial decree before she had time to cry with joy, and suddenly she collapsed to the ground with a dejected expression as if struck by lightning.

She is obviously only one step away from the back position she has longed for, but the reality tells her that everything is just a flower in a mirror, and the moon in the water will be broken in an instant when she wakes up from the dream.

What is not hers will not be hers after all, even if you sell your body and mind to demons, close your eyes tightly, and do countless things against your will, it is still futile, and you will be crushed into the dust from the castle in the air in the end.

Secondly, there is Sun Tzu Chu.

Combining the situation at the time and the confession of the empress dowager who was imprisoned after the event, it is true that drugs were given to the drinks of Xinke Jinshi and ministers, but after being hit by mistake and sent to the latrine in the middle Grandson Chu, who couldn't find his way back, was knocked over, and the dictation of Eunuch Li, the short little eunuch, and the little maid in the imperial dining room who witnessed the incident confirmed this point even more.

It has to be said that Sun Tzuchu is indeed a man with unfathomable luck. If it weren't for him, the situation would have become much more complicated with so many hostages in the hands of the Heart Eater, and it would not be so easy to solve.

Even Emperor Wu Xuan was very surprised by this.

Reminiscent of the bizarre story he had heard about his grandson Chu committing soul-disappearance disease in order to marry A Bao, Emperor Wu Xuan felt that no matter what, he should keep this person in the imperial city. Even the Palace of the King of Hades is looking for talents.

Not to mention his wonderful physique, just relying on this natural luck is very worthy of attention.

As a result, the Qionglin Palace made great contributions in a daze, and the grandson Chu, who completely overshadowed the number one scholar, the second place, and Tanhua, was awarded a large sum of money and entered the Imperial Academy.

In the end, he got what he wanted, and he and Abao lived a lifetime of love and prosperity.

-

The golden sunlight pierced through the clouds and sprinkled onto the earth. The haze that shrouded the imperial city seemed to have disappeared with the death of the Heart Eater, and everything was back on track without causing any major casualties.

Since the absence of the fake empress dowager and concubine Hu Gui, the palace, which was originally turbulent and eerie, seemed to have been washed by the nectar of a spiritual spring. The air was filled with a clean and refreshing atmosphere, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.

After a big clean-up, from the few concubines who are unwilling to leave the palace and are willing to be decorations, down to the guards, palace maids and eunuchs, everyone is performing their duties in an orderly manner, and everyone is in peace for the time being, no more intrigues .

Outside the palace, a group of civil servants headed by Bai Zhende who had been given high-level Gu worms found that there was no abnormality in their bodies after being worried for a while. Worms didn't show up either.

The heart-piercing pain, the sad days of being manipulated by people like a marionette, seems to have passed away with the death of the mind eater.

As a result, they finally gradually let go of their hearts, untied the shackles, and lived a free and comfortable life.

The imperial city was as peaceful and tranquil as ever, the city was prosperous and rich, and the people had ample food and clothing, just like the calm sea above an underwater volcano that was about to be destroyed.

Everyone is so beautiful and happy, except Mrs. Diao Aci from Wang Duwei's mansion.

First, overnight, the Empress Dowager died suddenly, and her biggest backer was gone. Then, Concubine Hu Gui, who had a good relationship with her, was also thrown into the cold palace. .

The accident happened too fast, and before Mrs. Diao had time to recover, her husband brought back a young and beautiful woman from outside and lived directly in the backyard.

Her husband, Captain Wang, is a military officer, so naturally he would not attend the Qionglin Banquet. In addition, her mother, the eldest princess, tried to rebel against her. She has always been on the fringes of the royal family and dignitaries. She behaved extremely low-key and did not get any news about the truth , like ordinary lower-level officials and common people, knew nothing about what happened in Qionglin Palace, and only thought that the Empress Dowager died suddenly because of her poor health.

In fact, according to Wang Junyi's qualifications and achievements, he should have been promoted a long time ago, but he never took the initiative to fight for every opportunity, and missed it several times in a row. After all, he is actually the emperor's nephew, an authentic relative of the emperor.

Later, when he couldn't get away with it a few times, Wang Junyi simply recommended his colleagues or subordinates to the top. After several times, everyone felt that he was a real man who was enthusiastic and loyal, and they were willing to associate with him, and they didn't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. As a result, Wang Junyi's popularity has become particularly good, and he is particularly popular among the middle and lower ranks of military officers, and the upper ranks have also heard of his good reputation.

After the Qionglin Palace incident happened, Wang Junyi didn't think much about it, and still followed the original plan to lead troops out of the city to suppress the bandits.

It was a small frontier city under the imperial city, with rugged mountain roads and dangerous terrain, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In recent years, there have been cases of missing girls from innocent families, most of them were when they were away from home, and some even lost their lives. At home, parents wake up to find that their daughter is gone.

The government sent arresters to investigate many times, but they couldn't find any clues. In addition, the number of missing girls was not too many. They only happened together in two or three months, and most of them happened among the lower class civilians. Someone else will take care of it.

The common people had to take strict care of themselves, act cautiously, not let their girls go out at will, strengthen the doors and windows, and stop walking outside the door.

Until one day, Miss Xiang Yuan's family couldn't stand the closed and imprisoned attitude towards women in the city, and heard that the atmosphere in the imperial city was much more open. Even a girl who hadn't left the court could often go out for picnics accompanied by her servant Outing and so on, she was yearning for it immediately, and decided to sneak out to see it.

Ms. Xiang Ling, who was spoiled by Xiang Yuanwai since she was a child, is very courageous. She stole the maid's clothes, disguised herself, and managed to sneak out of the mansion. When she was about to hire a carriage to go to the imperial city, she was unlucky and ran into the person behind the disappearance case. bandits.

The bandits saw that Miss Xiang Ling was pretty and she was wearing the coarse clothes of an ordinary maid, and thought she was a commoner girl, and immediately the carriage headed for the imperial city went straight into the bandit's den.

On the same day, Xiang Yuanwai, who found out that his precious daughter was missing, immediately went crazy. He hurriedly reported to the government, and sent almost all the servants in the family to look for her.

After strengthening the manpower and vigorously searching by everyone, they finally found clues at the place where Miss Xiang Ling hired the carriage last time, and caught a few young people.

It was only then that people were shocked to discover that an organization was involved behind the disappearance of the girl in recent years, and even because of the inaction of the government, it grew bigger and bigger, gradually penetrated into this small town, and formed a large power group .

At the beginning, these bandits were just ordinary human traffickers, selling the abducted girls to remote places to make huge profits, and later evolved to select the best-looking ones, and after training them, they sold them to dignitaries in other cities as slaves concubine.

It can be said that if it wasn't for Miss Xiang Ling's accident this time, if they were allowed to continue to develop, they would probably follow the path above and gradually form a strong and ugly relationship network, and it would not be so easy to wipe them out .

Even so, it is not easy to rescue Miss Xiang Ling and the other abducted girls.

The few minions caught by the government were only the outermost personnel, who were paid to help in the city to find out information on a regular basis. They had never been to the bandits' stronghold, they only knew that they were somewhere in the mountains.

But this small town has more than one mountain, and the terrain inside the mountain is very rugged. It is not easy to find a group of bandits hiding here without a guide.

Therefore, the government of the small town reported the matter to the imperial city as a major case, and the upper echelons of the imperial city sent the captain, Wang Junyi, to lead troops to suppress bandits and rescue people.

In this way, relying on his extraordinary courage, superb martial arts and experience, Wang Junyi finally encircled and suppressed this group of ruthless bandits, and successfully rescued several girls who were still trapped on the mountain and had not been sold yet.

However, just as Wang Junyi was about to go back down the mountain, a few remnants suddenly jumped out and shot him off the horse, clamoring to avenge his elder brother and hacking him to death.

Because the incident happened so suddenly, it was too late to draw his sword to block it. When Wang Junyi was about to die in Huangquan, Miss Xiang Ling at the side did not panic and hide like the other girls. Instead, she rushed over bravely, picked up the shield on the ground, Stand in front of Wang Junyi and block the blow for him desperately.

While Wang Junyi was surprised, he also seized the opportunity to fight back while protecting Miss Xiang Ling.

Unfortunately, there was a cliff behind them. During the scuffle, both Wang Junyi and Miss Xiang Ling were accidentally knocked down.

After falling, Wang Junyi's subordinates were full of grief and anger, and killed the last few remnants of the party. After cleaning up the mess, they returned to the small town with the heads of the bandits and the few surviving girls, and quickly found several A good climber, he planned to go down the cliff to collect the bodies of the captain and Miss Yuanwai.

But what is unexpected is that Wang Junyi obviously deserves to die. He and Miss Xiang Ling were hung on a tree that grew horizontally, and they were lucky to get their lives back.

Wang Junyi was seriously injured, and fell into a coma after falling. Miss Xiang Ling, who was well protected, woke up first. She desperately dragged him from the tree into the cave halfway up the mountain, and took good care of him.

In this way, the lonely men and widows lived together in the same room for several days, until they were found by Wang Junyi's subordinates in surprise.
