Chapter 22 Who was the arsonist?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Tai Shan was eased that the fire was put out, but what Lu Jiangbei said really made her sacred. His last words almost scared the hell out of her. Tai Shan stood up trembling and turned around to face all the Taoist nuns. She stared at them like a predator and said very loudly, “Who did this? Tell me who cooked here and set the fire!”
But no one replied. All the 77 nuns kept silent.
Tai Shan was so pissed off that her body shook badly. She yelled again, “No matter who did this, if you could step up right now, you will live. Otherwise, if you get exposed later, I will kill you for sure!”
Still everyone looked at each other. No one came out to confess.
Tai Shan was determined and yelled out loud, “Anyone who exposes the arsonist, I will give her 20, no, 30 liang silver as a reward now!”
Whispers in the crowd were like buzzes. After a while, a tall and fat middle-aged Taoist nun pointed at a nun on her right, who was lowin

As time went by, the Taoist nuns gathered to whisper and took quick glances at those 4 tall and handsome men from time to time.Most people were pleased inwardly. In this way, He Danggui would get in trouble. How could she, just a little girl, capture the fancy of officials and be protected by them! Bah! And she even wanted to compete with them for men! Naive! Although they got internal conflict with Huai Xin, without Tai Chen’s protection, they could easily deal with her later. But He Danggui was known as “the daughter of the official”. Bullshit! She was no nobler than them from head to toe. They couldn’t bully her at ordinary times, but this time, they wouldn’t let the chance escape easily.Duan Xiaolou and Liao Zhiyuan stood under a poplar in the alley while Lu Jiangbei and Gao Jue closed their eyes for a rest.Liao Zhiyuan rolled his cat-like eyes with his arm rounded Gao Jue, “Hey, Master Cool Face, are you still in that philter’s effect?

Duan Xiaolou was holding a pink wool cloak. His chest moved up and down. There were full of stars deep inside his dark eyes. He didn’t say a word, but opened the cloak directly and wrapped it around He Danggui. Then he tied the mixed satin ribbon into a bowknot carefully.He Danggui frowned. She was struggling in her mind, “I can’t do this anymore. No matter he has other thoughts or he’s just like what Lu Jiangbei said—so enthusiastic to girls. He had done too much.”She couldn’t accept this kind of care, and he offered his gentleness to the wrong person.Lu Jiangbei noticed He Danggui’s inconspicuous expression. And he thought she was not accustomed to showing her intimacy in front of others, so he changed the topic hastily, “What should we do now? How about… letting the yamen runners search through the Taoist Temple?”This scared the hell out of Tai Shan.All the IOUs she got from usury were locked in the closet besi

He Danggui spoke nothing, and looked at Huai Dong whose hair was disheveled. She clearly remembered Huai Dong’s face with a mole on the nose.In the previous life, He Danggui lived in the wood house of the backyard, which was administrated by Huai Dong. At the beginning, there was no bed in the wood house. In the twelfth month of the lunar year, she slept on the damp and moldy straw, which caused eczema on her back.After a period of time, Huai Dong suddenly became friendly to He Danggui. She formed a makeshift bed in the wood house, and prepared a used quilt for her. He Danggui was very grateful to Huai Dong. Gradually, she regarded the wood house as her home. She was afraid that her gold lock would be broken when she did menial work, so she hid it under the bed.More than ten days later, the gold lock was lost. He Danggui was so regretful and worried, so she cried loudly. However, Huai Dong suddenly rushed in without the friendly face in the

With a pale complexion, Huai Dong crawled towards Duan Xiaolou and He Danggui, kowtowed to them three times and cried, “Spare me. Spare me, please! Although I had stolen the gold lock, I really did not set the fire! Master, with your penetrating judgement, I kept the gold lock in my clothes and never took it out. How could it be stained with charcoal ashes and printed on the wall?”He Danggui sneered and thought, “Of course, you hadn’t printed it, because I engraved the pattern with a turnip and let Duan Xiaolou print it on the wall. Huai Dong, I was framed by you in the previous life, and you played tricks with me again in this life. It must be fate.”Duan Xiaolou frowned at Huai Dong with disheveled hair and pale face. He couldn’t bear to see this and said in a serious voice, “The case of arson can be investigated slowly, but there are irrefutable proofs for your theft. According to the law of the imperial court, the heaviest punishment for theft is exile

Although He Danggui was a little astonished, she hid her shock with calm expression. Lu Jiangbei stopped for a moment and looked at her, so as to get some information from her eyes. But he only felt that the girl’s eyes were very different from those of others. Her eyes were as clear and deep as the water in the well under the moonlight. However, there were some cold things in her eyes, so he couldn’t see that clearly.Lu Jiangbei had to continue, “My name is Lu Jiangbei, and I work as an imperial guard. In September, 27th year of Hongwu Period, I was entrusted by Duan Xiaolou to seek a marriage alliance to Miss He. Childe Duan is the Childe of Earl Anning Ruting Mansion, and his military rank is the Deputy Fifth-Grade Military General. He also works as an imperial guard now...

In the previous life, He Danggui used to practice some martial arts. By that time, she had entered Lord Ning’s Mansion and gained the favor of Zhu Quan (Lord Ning), then she learned some martial arts from Zhu Quan’s followers. In order to help Zhu Quan better manage the affairs of “Wuying Tower”, she began with the most basic steps called Mabu (a basic standing position of martial arts in China) at 19, a very “old” age to practice kongfu.Since the Masters were all the subordinates of Zhu Quan and He Danggui was Zhu Quan’s concubine, it was inappropriate for them to teach her many martial arts which required to be taught intimately. Therefore, they only told her to hold a pile of books to study by herself. If she couldn’t do it, it would prove that she was not good enough to practice martial arts.She studied dazzled like this for several years. Fortunately, the five Masters who taught her the longest were all first-rate seniors, and they taught her a wide

Zhen Jing didn’t take it seriously. She only thought that He Danggui was joking with her. But she suddenly thought of a drama happened in the Taoist Temple this morning. She didn’t care about what she was eating, but immediately began to tell it to He Danggui vividly.In the morning, on her way to fetch water, she passed the main hall and saw other nuns around the gate happily. So, Zhen Jing stood on tiptoe to see what happened. It turned out that Huai Dong and Huai Xin were quarreling in front of Tai Shan, much fiercer than last night.—Last night, Tai Shan went back to her room and thought for a while. As long as the case of stealing lock didn’t spread out and affect the reputation of the Taoist Temple, it would be a trivial matter. But now the fire had affected the imperial guards. Therefore, no matter how they defined the fire case, she must find out a scapegoat for the imperial guards, so that the Taoist Temple would not be implicated. Tai Shan chose H

“Master Zhen Zhu, when will the Third Miss come out? It’s already been an hour since Ding Rong’s wife and I informed you. And our sedan costs 1 string of 1,000 qian every 2 hours. Could you…” Gao Dashan’s wife pouted her chin towards Ding Rong’s wife who was not far away, and told Zhen Zhu in a very low voice, “She’s the eyes and ears of Second Mistress Luo, and she would tell her everything she knew.”Under her guidance, Zhen Zhu saw a woman about 50 years old, thin and white in decent clothes.Ding Rong’s wife looked at the gate of Shui Shang Temple with full attention. Seeing someone coming out, she asked, “Has Miss He prepared yet? When can we set out? You know I’m a busy person.”Zhen Zhu turned around to see Gao Dashan’s wife, “Biddy Gao, forgive me. That day you left in such a hurry and I was clumsy to retell Miss He’s original words. It’s all my faults! Miss He said she planned to stay here until the 17th this month. However, today is t

Dong raised her hand and waved it heavily on Luo Baiying's face, arrogantly sneering, "Big girl, don't say all these salty words, the feelings of us poor women who married bastard men, girls like you who have never seen anything will never understand in their lives. I only hate myself for being blind back then, choosing by the thousands and finally choosing a useless Luo Baiqian, and now I'm being dragged down by you!"Luo Baihe glanced at the unconscious old lady, hidden anger to teach Dong, "Sister-in-law said what even the words, as the saying goes, flowers do not have a hundred days of red, no one's family has not been rich for a hundred years of good things, out of bad things, we think about it. You don't like anyone, and beating up one person after another won't help."The government office wanted to check the accounts of the Luodong Mansion, to see if they had drawn down money during the war to subsidize the rebels, so all the daughters-in-law in charge, along wit

Early in the morning four days later, He Danggui and Meng Xuan returned to the capital and went directly to Yingtian Mansion to watch the results of the Yan Wangfu murder case. I heard that the trial of the Luo Mansion's treason case also started today, with one trial after another.On that night in Yan Wang Fu, Zhu Duran and Pao Yangbai pretended to be fake He Danggui, and both of them were imprisoned in the Da Lisi. Meng Xuan makes arrangements through his connections to ensure that Bo Yang Bai has the benefits of eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling in prison, but due to his disguise, he is sadly unsuccessful in the end.As soon as Meng Xuan showed up in the capital, the subordinate who had been secretly protecting the safety of Park Yangbai came to report that in the past few days, he had driven away a total of five waves of assassins who wanted to assassinate Park Yangbai.Just this morning, through the heavy inspection of the meal to the cell, obviously ha

Her mind was feverish, and she remembered in a trance that at some point, Meng Xuan had said to her in the bamboo forest of Cheng Xu, "I'm not Duan Xiaolou, and I'm not going to do the stupid things he did, girl, there's only one Duan Xiaolou in the world, and since there's no room for redemption between you and him anymore, you should always look away in the future."It turned out that what Meng Xuan said was true, and what Gao Jie said was also true, neither of them had lied to her. In this world, there really was only one fool like Duan Xiaolou.This fool had somehow fallen in love with a little demoness like her and hadn't changed his mind until now. Instead, she had married Meng Xuan as her wife.Is there anyone who can tell her how to return a love that is so heavy that she can't breathe, how to clear the past years and let everything return to zero? Her smart brain is no longer smart enough to face Duan Xiaolou directly."Now, you know everything." The

He Danggui woke up with a start, close at hand was Duan Xiaolou's handsome face, a pair of dark eyes, as if he had been staring at her for more than ten hours. She was dizzy, as if she had also slept for more than ten hours.She sat up with a jolt, checking to find that her clothing was intact, only a layer of outer clothing had been removed, and other than that there was nothing wrong.Her nervous expression pierced Duan Xiaolou's eyes, and he laughed silently as he gently asked, "What did you think I would do? Could it be that in your mind, I don't even have this much credibility anymore?" The voice was filled with bitterness.Ignoring Duan Xiaolou, she jumped out of bed and walked around the room, noticing that the bedroom had a single furnishing with a dark tone, much like someone's style. Looking back at the wall, there were five colorful faces hanging, and the one in the very middle had a yellow face, eh? That one is not ...He Danggui exclaimed out in

The testimony of her own sister! Exposing her lies!Everyone gazed at Zhu Duran, her pretty face reddened for a while, white for a while, making it even more suspicious. At this time, the conversation between the two Peng Shih Peng Jian brothers drew the attention of many people."Brother, didn't you also go to the east wing after you finished talking with third sister in the garden?" Peng Jian spoke without thinking and actually drew fire on his own brother.Peng Shi frowned for a moment before replying, "I received a post that said 'important matters to discuss, please be sure to make a trip over here, chee chee chee', and it was addressed to Niu Wenlan. I considered it over and over again, so I went on this trip." After he finished his words, the fake He Danggui, the real Park Yangbai's face was immediately a little agitated, because he also received a similar post before he went to Niu Wenlan's room.Peng Jian said with a start, "Could the murderer be you

"Who?" He Angelica asked a little nervously through the door."You haven't gone over yet?" It was Gao Jie's voice, "I have a question for you.""Go ahead." He Danggui held his breath."That mask, do you still have it?" Gao Jie asked without a clue through a door.He Danggui revealed a confused expression, and Meng Xuan asked for her, "What mask.""Rabbit Town, your gift to me."Gao Jie's style was always simple and concise, but all of a sudden, Meng Xuan was greatly offended. Meng Xuan grabbed He Danggui's pink cheeks with her hand and complained, ''You sent him a gift? Why don't you send me? I want the mask too."He Danggui pushed away this questionable child, Meng Xuan, and pondered for a while before she had an impression of Gao Jie's words. At that time in Rabbit Town, she might seem to have probably given Gao Jie four face masks, the extremely simple kind of hand-painted ceramic paper face masks.In fact, it is not really a gift,

The crowd turned their heads in unison and saw behind a clump of longleaf orchids a man with half his face left in the shadows."Meng Xuan?" He Danggui was taken aback and rushed forward, pulling him aside as he quietly asked, "Why did you run here? Does your father know about your return to the capital?"The visitor was dressed in plain robes, very conspicuous in the dark night, yet no one realized that he was also in the garden until the moment he appeared. He had sword brows and starry eyes, handsome and incomparable, and was none other than Meng Xuan, who should have been huffing and puffing inside the secret room.When He Danggui thought that the scene of Duan Xiaolou hugging her just now had also fallen into Meng Xuan's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness, and also remembered that Meng Xuan had returned to the capital specifically to see her, and that if the iron-faced Marquis of Bao Ding found out that he'd gone AWOL, she didn't know how he
