Chapter 9 I don’t want to die with you
Two days later, Xiao Zhen heard the news of King Liang's death.
As for the cause of death, it was the same as in the previous life, caused by heart disease.
Everything was the same as in the previous life. King Liang died on the tenth day of April, also from heart disease.
Although Prince Liang's Mansion had blocked the news, Xiao Zhen knew that at this moment, everyone in Prince Liang's Mansion unanimously believed that Prince Liang was killed by the eldest princess and his wife, and that his parents would also be imprisoned in Ziteng like in their previous lives. The villa eventually died at the hands of Zhao Yunnuan.
Among the three children of King Liang, Zhao Tinghan was originally sick. When he heard the news of his father's death, his condition worsened and he died within a month.
Zhao Tingxuan, the second son of Prince Liang, could never achieve great things. He listened to his sister Zhao Yunnuan in everything. Xiao Zhen checked and found that it was Zhao Yunnuan's idea to imprison the eldest princess and his wife. Prince Liang's personal guards were also dispatched by her. She was the only one who ordered the killing. No. It will be Zhao Tingxuan.
At that time, everyone thought that it was the eldest princess who teamed up with the Xiao family to kill Prince Liang. The Xiao family was exterminated. The people clapped their hands and applauded. No one remembered the Xiao family's past achievements. The Xiao family was just a traitor and traitor.
At that time, Xiao Zhen could only take Xiao Yuedong to hide in Tibet. He was as panic-stricken as a bereaved dog and was unable to seek justice for his parents and the Xiao family.
By the time they finally gained a foothold and could take revenge, Zhao Yunnuan was dead, and even that wimp Zhao Tingxuan was dead. The emperor withdrew the iron certificate of the Liang Palace's alchemy book while weeping, and ruled Liang for one hundred and twenty years. The Liang Prince's Mansion for the remaining years has since become history.
Thinking of these past events, Xiao Zhen did not dare to stay for a moment, gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his body, and rushed to Liangdi day and night.
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Su left Qingquan and headed for Liangdi, but the weather was not kind and it started to rain halfway through.
It rarely rains so heavily in April, and it rains all the time. When it came, the sky was clear, but now it's pouring.
"Why does it look like a June day?" Xiao Su wiped the rainwater from his eyes and complained angrily.
Zhao Shiqing didn't think it was a big deal. She knew it would rain. She heard what Yan Zi said, but she was in a hurry to get on her way. Even if it rained, she would have to leave even if it rained.
But the little demon was unhappy. He shouted dissatisfiedly: Cats don’t like rain. Rain makes cats feel insecure.
Xiao Su heard that the cat meow came from Zhao Shiqing's arms, and he asked curiously: "Zhao Xiaosi, you have given birth to a baby, or one with a long tail?"
Xiao Su thought that he would be hit by Zhao Shiqing's riding whip, and he was already ready to dodge, but Zhao Shiqing seemed not to hear it, as if he was listening to something.
"Hey, Zhao Xiaosi, what are you listening to? You don't pay attention to what I'm talking to you."
Zhao Shiqing raised a finger and shushed, signaling for him to be silent.
Xiao Su shut up as expected. He looked around. Except for the wild dogs escaping in the rain, there was no trace of anyone. Zhao Xiaosi was just trying to be mysterious. Only these two idiots would do it on a rainy day. On the way.
After a while, Zhao Shiqing asked: "Is there a place to take shelter from the rain nearby?"
Xiao Su breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the female devil knew how to take shelter from the rain. Fortunately, she was not completely crazy.
Xiao Su pointed with his riding crop: "There is a private school not far from the road in front. I know the master there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Shiqing had already galloped away, whipping up his horse and whip.
Xiao Su quickly urged his horse to follow him, but this lunatic left immediately without even saying hello.
The private school was built in a two-entry house, and the children were reading. The sound of books echoed with the sound of rain outside.
The one who taught the children how to read was Zhang Xiucai, the master here. Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Su stood on the porch to take shelter from the rain. The scholar's wife brought a dry cloth and they wiped it casually, then told the scholar's wife not to worry about them until the rain stopped. Then they left.
The rain came and went quickly. After less than half an hour, it gradually stopped. The children also finished class. They blinked their bright eyes and looked at the two drowned rats curiously. Zhang Xiucai and Xiao Su exchanged pleasantries and asked about Master Xiao Wu's health. Xiao Su answered them one by one, but glanced at Zhao Shiqing from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
The rain has stopped, but why is the female devil not in a hurry? Shouldn't she be on her way immediately? Instead, she took out a cat and attracted all the children to it.
At this moment, the scholar's wife hurried over and said to Zhang Xiucai: "There was an accident on the bridge just now. Uncle Wang asked us if we had any unused door panels and asked us to go help."
Before Zhang Xiucai could speak, Xiao Su rushed to ask: "What happened?"
The scholar lady said: "Uncle Wang only said that a passer-by had an accident. I don't know the details."
Xiao Su: "It's raining so hard, why are there still people on their way? It's really a good time"
Xiao Su wanted to say, "I'm really tired of living." But as he spoke, he suddenly remembered that if the female devil hadn't suddenly changed her mind, wouldn't the two of them have been on their way in the heavy rain?
Xiao Su subconsciously looked at Zhao Shiqing, only to see that Zhao Shiqing had stuffed the cat back into the bag at some point. He looked over and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
When everyone arrived, they realized that the bridge had collapsed.
Xiao Su cursed: "This bridge was built by our Xiao family. It was only built last year. It collapsed after only one year. The craftsmen must have cut corners!"
Fortunately, no one was on the bridge when it collapsed, but the road could not be seen clearly through the rain. Two passers-by rode by on horseback. When they got closer, they discovered that the bridge had collapsed, but it was too late. Both the man and the horse fell down.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Fortunately, this is a dry bridge. The river under the bridge has changed its course a few years ago. The person who fell in was not washed away by the river, but he was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was still alive.
Everyone worked hard to rescue the person and sent him to a nearby hospital.
Xiao Su took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to Uncle Wang and Zhang Xiucai: "If the silver is not enough, go to Xiao's house to get it and say it was my promise."
Everyone thanked him quickly, as he was worthy of doing good deeds and benefiting the Xiao family in the village.
Because the bridge collapsed, Zhao Shiqing and Xiao Su had no choice but to walk down the abandoned river channel. It had just rained and the abandoned river channel was full of mud. When they finally returned to the official road, they and their horses were in a miserable state. .
Until then, Xiao Su suddenly realized something was wrong.
Zhao Xiaosi has the thickest skin. Shouldn't she be complacent and praise herself for her ability to predict things?
But Zhao Xiaosi said nothing, which was abnormal.
"Zhao Xiaosi, do you know that the bridge will collapse? Hey, it's not you who caused the bridge to collapse, right?"
Zhao Shiqing whipped over and Xiao Su shut up.
"Think about it with your pig brain. If I really want to do that, I have to wait until I cross the bridge myself before I do it."
Xiao Su looked at Zhao Shiqing's muddy body and felt that it made sense.
"But did you know in advance that this bridge would collapse? Otherwise, why would you suddenly want to take shelter from the rain?"
Zhao Shiqing glanced at him and said honestly: "Yes, I heard what the wild dogs said. They said someone had tampered with that bridge. I didn't want to die with you, so I went to take shelter from the rain."
Xiao Su sighed: "Zhao Xiaosi, you just talked nonsense and said it was a wild dog who told you. Why didn't you say it was a lion or tiger who told you?"
As soon as the words came out, Xiao Su suddenly remembered that he seemed to have actually seen a wild dog today, but so what, Zhao Xiaosi was just talking nonsense.
