Happy Marriage

Chapter 173: Xia's sky is falling

An Sheng couldn't help but move in his heart. Why didn't he see such a big doubt in the first place?

This Concubine Rou has always been full of flaws. If it is purely for the sake of favor, if it really has ulterior motives, what is she trying to plot?

I can't continue to condone and indulge myself, and I stand idly by. I must talk to my father Haosheng.

"Where's my father? In the house?"

Dragon Boat Festival shook his head: "Later, the master didn't care about anything. He said that the Ministry of Household was on duty and that there was no delay, so he hurriedly left, saying that he would come back and talk about it, and it would definitely be a black and white."

"Father is really busy these days - should he be on duty today?"

Dragon Boat Festival nodded: "Yes."

An Sheng was suddenly startled, and suddenly stood up from his chair: "On duty? It's broken!"

Dragon Boat Festival asked in surprise: "What's wrong?"

Without a word, An Sheng moved his chair, stepped on it, and climbed to the side of the courtyard wall, looking towards the east.

"Miss, be careful!"

The Dragon Boat Festival is unknown, so I told him below.

An Sheng slid down the courtyard wall with a "squeak": "Isn't the place where the fire started in Canglin?"

Dragon Boat Festival also suddenly woke up: "That is, there are no private houses in the suburbs of the east city, how can such a big fire start? It will start a prairie in an instant."

An Sheng suddenly felt anxious and ran out in a flash.

As soon as I left the door of the back house, I almost bumped into someone else.

It was none other than Xia Yuanwai's Changsui Yongxi. His face was full of smoky blackness, his body was dark and wet, and it was extremely messy.

Seeing him like this, An Sheng panicked: "Yongxi, did something happen to my father?"

Yongxi nodded, opened his mouth, but only made a sound of "ah".

Apparently his throat was sore.

\"Don't worry, speak slowly."

Yongxi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and said hoarsely: "The Canglin is on fire, and it is the master who is on duty, so he was brought into the Dali Temple to be convicted."

"what?"

Xue Shi should have also heard about the water, and was a little worried. He came out to inquire about the situation. Hearing Yongxi say this, he sat on the ground with a butt: "Why are you so unlucky!"

"Father, is he all right?" An Sheng asked with concern.

Yongxi shook his head: "Although the fire is urgent, the master is fine."

"How big is the loss in the warehouse?"

Yongxi nodded: "The fire spread almost instantaneously, and it burst into flames immediately, which caught people by surprise. Although the alarm bell was sounded in time, and firefighting measures were taken immediately, but the wind was blowing, and it was a drop in the bucket. When Yu Shizi came with the officers and soldiers, It was finally put out, and nearly 20 hectares of grain and rice were burned to the ground."

"Ah?" An Sheng also complained in his heart, twenty cubits? This is not a small amount, I am afraid it is equivalent to a quarter of the grain stored in the Beijing warehouse. If the main responsibility lies in the improper prevention of the father, then it must be doomed!

"What is the reason for the fire in the warehouse, can you investigate and find out?" Xue also knew the pros and cons, and couldn't wait to ask.

Yongxi shook his head: "The reason is not clear, it is still under investigation. But, but"

"But what?" Xue Shi asked.

"However, when the fire broke out, the master was not in the duty room. He just returned from the mansion and hadn't arrived yet. Therefore, the charge of negligence is firmly established."

"What?" An Sheng's heart suddenly sank, this is definitely a sin plus a rank!

"How can this be good?" Xue Shi was remorseful and scolded: "It's all that broom star. If it weren't for her, how could the master provoke such a filthy lawsuit?"

At this time, An Sheng is still in the mood to pursue who is responsible. The only thought is how to rescue his father?

"Mother, now that the catastrophe is imminent, where do we still have time to worry about this, or should we hurry up and think about what to do?" She said impatiently.

Xue Shi was already crying with snot and tears: "Do you still need to teach me a lesson? Can I still feel sorry for your father? But we are all women, what can we do? Without the master, there is nothing left. What about us orphans and widows?"

An Sheng sighed lightly: "I'll go to my uncle's place to ask what's going on? Mother, hurry up and pack up two pieces of my father's clothes, then secretly sew a few silver notes in the corner of the clothes and give them to my father to go up and down in prison. Use it in order to avoid inexplicable suffering."

Xue shi responded with a series of voices, only to feel that her legs and feet were weak, and she had no energy in her body. She was so flustered that she had no idea, and she told the woman behind her: "Quick, help me up quickly."

The mother-in-law helped her up from the ground with great effort. Mrs. Xue took two steps, then turned her head and instructed Yongxi: "Hurry up and invite your uncle over and tell him that something big has happened in the house."

After a short while, the Xue family ordered someone to wrap all the things into a burden and hand them over to An Sheng. An Sheng did not dare to delay, and immediately left the house, got into the carriage of Uncle Wang, and went to the big house.

The big room knew that the second room would definitely come to ask for news, but they didn't expect that it would be An Sheng.

The uncle of the Xia family had just returned from Dali Temple. He made the decision to hide the old lady and did not dare to tell her the news, so that she would not be frightened again, and quickly ordered An Sheng to be taken to the front hall.

As soon as An Sheng entered the door, he knelt down to the uncle of the Xia family.

Shen shi hurriedly stepped forward to help An Sheng up: "Girl, get up quickly."

An Sheng insisted on kowtowing to the uncle of the Xia family first: "An Sheng first thank the uncle for helping his mother and the sisters in the house."

The uncle of the Xia family sighed and said, "Your father is my biological brother, so I can still watch and see if it doesn't work? Break the bones and connect the tendons. We are a family, so don't say those foreign words."

An Sheng got up from the ground and asked anxiously, "Uncle, how is my father now?"

The uncle of the Xia family comforted: "You don't have to worry, your father is now being held in the Dali Temple prison, and he has no worries about his life for the time being."

"Well, how could the Canglinli catch fire? Has the cause been found out? Is my father involved? Can he save his life?"

The uncle of the Xia family was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "Sister Sheng, you mother and daughter should be prepared."

An Shengrao was already mentally prepared. Hearing what the uncle of the Xia family said, he still couldn't help but take a few steps back, like a thunderbolt from the blue.

She trembled, barely suppressing her emotions, and asked with a trembling voice, "So, the situation is very bad for my father?"

The uncle of the Xia family nodded: "I won't hide it from you. This fire caused serious damage, causing nearly 20 warehouses of public grain to be burned to the ground, and many soldiers were burned. If it wasn't for Yu Shizi who was patrolling Dongcheng, Timely scheduling, I am afraid the consequences are even more unimaginable. One can imagine how much public grievances it has caused.

Now, the emperor Longyan is furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the responsibilities of the relevant officials. Your father, as an official on duty that day, left his post without permission, and bears the brunt of it, and has an inescapable responsibility. Because of the special relationship between the two of us, I have also been temporarily suspended for a period of time. As an evasion, I must not interfere in all things, otherwise I will also be suspected of being a party member.

I am also anxious, and have been secretly seeking help from colleagues and old friends to inquire about the news inside. But the emperor was afraid that the fire would cause public grievances to boil over, and would be used by people with intentions to cause panic. Therefore, all the news was blocked. Even the people who participated in the firefighting that day are still stationed near Dongcang. In the name of protecting the scene, no Leaving without permission.

So, what exactly caused the fire this time, and what is hidden in it, we don't know anything about it. It is conceivable, An Sheng, this time your father, not to mention uncle, even if it is Daluo Immortal, I am afraid that he will not be able to save it. "

When the uncle of the Xia family said something, it was like a basin of cold water, which was poured straight down from the top of An Sheng's head, pouring a chill on her. The glimmer of hope that remained on the way here has now all turned into bubbles and exploded with a "snack", causing her heart to ache.

"Isn't there any chance of life? Uncle, please help me to think of a way. As long as there is a little hope, as long as my father's life can be saved, An Sheng will not hesitate to go through fire and water." An Sheng burst into tears and mourned. begging.

The uncle of the Xia family slowly shook his head: "Even if there is a turning point in the case of water leakage, whether it is arson or a fire in the sky, the fact that your father's dereliction of duty is an ironclad fact, there is no hope!"

An Sheng was stunned.

Before, I didn't think my father was so important.

Today, when she was about to lose her, she realized that her father was the heaven of the entire Xia family. If her father was gone, the Xia family would collapse.

In particular, these days, her father finally treats herself a little better, and she begins to taste the lost and found father's love again. God is so cruel and wants to take it back.

Shen patted An Sheng's hand: "Your father didn't hurt you in vain, you can see that you are kind and righteous. It's a pity that people are stronger than heaven, and God's will is like this. An Sheng, listen to your aunt's words, go back and plan for yourself. Otherwise, depending on the character of the Xue family, I still don't know what kind of fate you will end up."

An Sheng shook his head in confusion, tears falling like rain: "No, auntie, even if there is no hope, An Sheng must work hard so that he can be worthy of his father and my own conscience."

The uncle of the Xia family sighed deeply: "It's useless, I have been in the court for so many years, how many ups and downs have I been through, and how many cases of this kind have I done? There is always an explanation for the emperor, and there must be a lot in the end. The official was investigated and lost his head. Your father, this time there is no escape, and your uncle can't help you."

An Sheng sniffed lightly and lowered his head: "In any case, please ask my uncle to help me comprehensively. Even if my father can't get rid of the crime, An Sheng hopes that he can suffer a little less."

The uncle of the Xia family waved at her: "Go back, what can you do as a girl?"

An Sheng handed the burden in his hand to the uncle of the Xia family: "Here are some clothes for my father, and there are a few silver notes in it, which are used by my father in prison, so that he will not suffer more."

Then, she took out a few silver notes from her arms: "This is all An Sheng's savings, it's just a drop in the bucket, and I will spend it all for my uncle."

Shen shi took the burden from An Sheng's hand and pushed it back to An Sheng's hand: "You keep this bill for your own expenses. Your uncle naturally knows about your father's affairs."

An Sheng thought for a while, and the hero was short of breath for a while, so he took back the silver note, and then knelt down and kowtowed to the uncle of the Xia family.
