Chapter 295 Ximei revealed the place where the gold was hidden
It was dark in the blink of an eye, and the temperature outside the Tianwu Palace became even lower.
The snow shoveled aside under the wall indicates that the cold winter is still going on and spring has not yet arrived.
Even though I was holding Tang Pozi in my arms, with a thick futon under my buttocks, and a thick cotton cloak wrapped around my body, I couldn't resist the cold wind. The coolness crept in through the gaps in the futon. Drill.
These aristocratic children of Hongwen Academy have never suffered much. They were shivering and their passionate blood had completely cooled down.
They looked towards a restaurant not far away.
This restaurant, which usually closes at midnight, is actually brightly lit tonight, and the window of a private room next to the window is open.
Several young concubines from the House of the Minister of Hubu, the Minister of Industry, and the Minister of Punishment were all drinking and eating meat.
The hot and fragrant pot was placed, and various kinds of meat were put into the pot. The aroma floated three miles away and successfully penetrated into the nostrils of the meditation students.
Their followers were standing by the window, eating the roasted chicken and goose given by their master, and looking over here with a smile.
They seemed to be watching the fun, but these noble children seriously suspected that they were spying on them.
They are looking to see if their beliefs are validated. Are they really sitting in meditation in the middle of the night for the sake of all people in the world?
Or they suspected that they would sneak into the carriage and warm themselves by the fire while no one was watching...
Before the time passed, several sit-in students began to sneeze nonstop and have runny noses. flow.
Seeing that their foreheads were getting hot and they could no longer hold on, they began to fall to the side in a daze.
The imperial doctor on duty stepped forward and took a pulse: "Hey! This is the wind and cold entering the body!"
"If you keep blowing like this, it won't be cured!"
"This young master , Do you need to go home and take medicine to treat your illness?”
The young master who was asked was in a dilemma: he wanted to continue "making a living for the people", but he was afraid of risking his own life.
You have to hold back, but you are afraid of being laughed at.
When he was in a dilemma, the imperial doctor asked again: "Do I need to send a message to the young master's home?"
Seeing that the sick and weak young master still did not speak, the officers and soldiers on duty next to him sneered: "We will not stop you from dying. "
"If you faint from the cold here, we will be responsible for going to your house to notify your family!"
"If your family is willing to fulfill your wishes, we will not come. Leader, I will have to watch you freeze to death!”
A rare fear arose in the heart of the sickly young master: These days, the wind and cold may kill people, and if he persists for a while, he may really do so! He died.
His thoughts changed and he fell limply to the ground, "unconscious."
The city guard took his time and said: "Go to the Zhang family in the east of the city, and notify the Zhang family to pick them up."
"Remember to beat the gong, loudly, and kill Mr. Zhang's Tell the Zhang family about the situation."
"If they refuse to come, we will not be responsible for the death!"
"Here!"
Someone was running away.
The city guards did not delay and carried the person to the shed that had been set up nearby.
There was a hot charcoal fire in the shed, wrapped in thick quilts, and thick ginger soup poured down, and people immediately felt much better.
The resistance to the cold made them not want to leave, and their shame made them pretend that they had not woken up yet.
As long as I am still "coma", you can't say that I have given up on meditation and my ideals.
The other noble gentlemen who were sitting quietly looked at each other with hot eyes, and they all looked at each other and weighed it in their hearts.
Is it to make a living for the people? Or save your own life?
Between the two, someone quickly made a choice.
Soon one after another people fainted.
The guards guarding the city did not hesitate, and asked the imperial doctor to check the pulse, then carry the person into the shed, and then asked the guards to notify their home to pick up the person.
Chen Yangzu's eyes were about to burst, but he couldn't reprimand him.
After all, these people are just his classmates, not servants of the family. He has no right to ask anyone to insist with him. Soon, a steward came to fetch the person, put the person on the carriage, and left with a shrinking head.
The twenty futons were soon half empty.
In the private room of the restaurant over there, since the noble prince "fainted", several concubines of the Minister of Secretariat started laughing in low voices.
At dawn, when the people began to move around, these young men got into the car and left drunkenly.
At this time, two-thirds of the twenty futons were empty.
The remaining young men from aristocratic families all looked pale, looked depressed, and felt MMP in their hearts.
They have been pampered since childhood and have never suffered such a crime in their lives.
Why did I follow Chen Yangzu to kneel at the palace gate when my brain got hot? !
It’s too damn cold!
Seeing that so many people were missing, the people also came over to watch the fun: "There were still more than twenty last night? Why are there only six left?"
There were people immediately. Explanation: "Many people fainted last night, and they were all picked up by their families!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! It's just that these noble gentlemen can't bear the pain. Look, it's only been one night..."
"Just wait and see, if you can persist until tomorrow morning, I will obey them!"
The comments and criticisms from the people made these noble gentlemen who were sitting in meditation feel even more uncomfortable.
Do you want to meditate for another day?
They haven’t had enough water and rice, and even if they hold Yu Pozi in their arms, they are already so cold that they can’t stand it anymore!
At this moment, an inconspicuous donkey cart came slowly. The donkey cart stopped in front of all the students, and a young woman wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket got out of the cart.
The woman glanced at the students with a touch of ridicule in her eyes.
She stepped forward and knelt down facing the palace entrance.
The hood of the cotton cloak fell down, revealing a charming face, and the woman's voice was also very charming.
“A civilian woman wants to sue the Duke of Min!”
The city guard stepped forward and asked cautiously: “Who are you? What is your relationship with the Duke of Min? Why are you suing? Sue the Duke of Min? "
The charming woman's voice was louder: "The civilian woman is the concubine of the Duke of Min. She sued the Duke of Min for selling official salt and making huge wealth! "< br>
Chen Yangzu suddenly changed his color, stood up, pointed at the woman and shouted angrily: "You are talking nonsense! You are spitting blood!"
"Who sent you to slander the Duke of Minguo?"
"You Did you know that when Min Guo’s house was raided, only hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were found?”
“How could a wealthy family only have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver if they sell official salt privately?”< br>
The charming woman looked at Chen Yangzu sarcastically: "Dong Min Guo had already made preparations. His money was not kept at home. He hid it next door to my residence in Luogu Lane..."
Yes, this woman is Ximei.
As soon as these words came out, everyone burst into laughter!
The city guard looked calm. While letting Ximei be brought in, he sent someone to go to Luogu Lane according to the place mentioned by the woman.
The expressions of Chen Yangzu and other students changed drastically!
What?
Is that so? !
"Come here! Follow me and search your house!"
Hearing the sound, Dai Zhifang, the commander of the Forbidden Army, waved his hand and led the people there.
How could the onlookers imagine that there is such a thing? They were so excited that they all ran towards Luogu Lane.
Chen Yangzu gritted his teeth and did not bother to sit still anymore. He waved his hand: "Let's go! Let's go and have a look together!"
"Yes! We can't let them just find a woman and slander the Duke of Min!"
"That is, who knows if someone pretended to have found the stolen goods, but in fact it was a temporary arrangement to frame her... …”
A few students got up with difficulty, got on the Chen family’s carriage, and followed the crowd to Luogu Lane.
