Chapter 124: The people of Minghui set the fire
The ninth brother, who was sighing, suddenly thought of something, stood up in surprise, took the tenth brother's hand, and ran to the next room! The eleventh brother looked confused, not understanding why his ninth brother suddenly went crazy!
The fourth brother, who was giving orders, was also startled by the sudden intrusion of the ninth brother. Fortunately, he did not do anything bad. Otherwise, he would have been scared to death!
Lao Si sighed, waved his hand at his subordinate, signaling him to go down, and then said helplessly: "Lao Jiu..., this is not our own home, can you be a little gentler? What's going on that makes you so excited?"
Lao Jiu blinked his innocent eyes and realized that his action just now was too rude. Fortunately, the door was strong, otherwise it would have been scrapped!
Lao Jiu: "Oh..., I'll be more careful next time. Oh, that's not right, let's talk about this later. If I really broke the door, I'll just pay them money. I have something to ask you, don't interrupt!"
The fourth brother sat at the table and sighed silently, then poured himself some tea and said helplessly, "If you have anything to say, sit down and talk first! I'm also tired these days. You'd better have something important to say, otherwise, let me show you how I'll deal with you."
Seeing the tiredness between the eyebrows of the fourth brother, the ninth and tenth brothers ignored the fourth brother's warning. The tenth brother was also very curious about what the ninth brother wanted to do. He agreed and said, "Yes, ninth brother, let's sit down and talk about it! Not to mention the fourth brother, I can't stand it for a while. It's not just my body that is tired, even my mind is exhausted!"
There was a sitting, of course Lao Jiu didn't want to stand, after all, he was not an iron man, the fatigue of this period of time had already made him exhausted, if he hadn't been tense, he would have collapsed long ago, okay? Do you really think that he is young and energetic? You know, he was also spoiled in the past. The suffering he suffered in the past few months was more than he had suffered in his entire life. If it weren't for his beloved starling, he would not be willing to suffer this pain!
After Lao Jiu sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. Then he asked with a confused look on his face, "Fourth Brother, what you just said is telling us that the person who set the fire is from Minghui?"
As soon as Lao Jiu said this, Lao Si and Lao Shi rolled their eyes. Seeing Lao Jiu's excitement, they thought it was a big deal. Feelings are like this. Lao Si thought that he had made it clear enough. Didn't he see that Lao Ba didn't ask anything? Who knew that Lao Jiu's thick nerves were so thick that he only reacted now. What was going on?
The Eleventh Elder said helplessly, "Brother Nine, what was the question I thought you were going to ask? It turned out to be this. You are so slow to react that you only realized it now!"
The Ninth Brother didn't care about the Tenth Brother's complaints, but had a complicated look on his face, because Minghui was his cousin and they grew up together. The relationship between the Ninth Brother and Minghui was pretty good, not very good, but not bad either!
Lao Jiu revealed a trace of worry between his eyebrows. He was not worried about Minghui, but his mother. You know, his mother liked Minghui very much. Minghui was his uncle's only daughter, and his mother loved Minghui because of what happened that year. His mother blamed herself for not saving her own brother, so she turned all her guilt into love for Minghui. If it was really Minghui, Lao Jiu knew that he, my brother, would never let Minghui go!
The fourth and tenth brothers looked at the troubled look on the ninth brother's face and knew what was going on. They also had no idea how much Concubine Yi loved her niece!
Lao Jiu complained, "Is she crazy? An unmarried woman actually dared to kill someone. Who gave her the courage?"
In fact, Lao Jiu had one more thing he didn’t say: Even if he dared to kill someone, why didn’t he wipe out all the traces? He was actually found out by Fourth Brother. He is such a waste!
Lao Jiu had such feelings because people are close to each other. Minghui is his biological cousin, while Yunyan is just a stranger he has known for a day or two. If it weren't for his father, Yunyan would have disappeared from his memory long ago!
The fourth and tenth brothers understood the ninth brother well, and knew that his aggrieved look was not because he was standing up for Yunyan, but because he was resentful of Minghui for causing trouble for his mother.
Fourth Brother: "Ninth Brother..., some things can't be concealed. Do you really think that the Emperor knows nothing? I am the Emperor's father. I must know the whole story. He is not angry now, but he is just confused. Did Minghui get the poison by accident, or did Prince An give it to her? However, no matter which result is, Minghui will be punished. Prince An's Mansion has been badly harmed by Minghui this time!"
The Tenth Elder: "But she did do a good thing. It gave the Emperor a good reason to deal with Prince An. You know, the Emperor has wanted to deal with Prince An for a long time. If it weren't for Prince An's cunningness, this Prince An's Mansion would have been gone long ago!"
The fourth brother and the others all understood why their emperor father wanted to clean up Prince An's mansion. It was all because of their emperor's law. In the past, because of Concubine Dong E, Prince An had gained a lot of benefits and had always been targeting the emperor father and his generation of princes. If it weren't for the protection of the Empress Dowager, it would have been a question whether the emperor father and his generation could survive.
Lao Jiu sighed lightly. He knew that he had no control over what happened next, but he was afraid that his mother would be sad!
Lao Jiu: "Alas..., she seemed quite smart before, but now it seems that she is just a show-off! Forget it, forget it, I can't do anything about it!"
After the Ninth Brother finished speaking, he stood up and walked out with a sigh. The Fourth Brother and the Tenth Brother also shook his head, and the Tenth Brother also stood up and walked out!
The fourth brother looked at the simple room with mixed feelings. He knew that the matter could not be reconciled, and he just hoped that the eighth brother would not go too crazy!
The fourth and the others didn't know that the eighth, who was sleeping, had been dreaming. He slept very uneasily, with beads of sweat on his forehead, mumbling something, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, and looked very uncomfortable! Unfortunately, no one else saw all this, because the ninth was upset and ran to the river in the village to get some fresh air. The tenth followed him because he was worried about him! The fourth was resting in the house, and only two subordinates were guarding in the yard. Unfortunately, they didn't hear any sound, so they didn't go in to check!
