Pregnant with God of War after escaping from marriage [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 25 Afterwards 【Update】

The two yamen servants guarding the post station drove to the National Temple with the two servant girls who were in charge of serving Qi Wu.

It is not a trivial matter that one of the two Qi clansmen who were escorted into the palace fell ill. Although Qi Jiang said that Qi Wu's fever was not that bad, the maids and servants urged him hard, and the yamen servants who drove the carriage did not dare to delay.

It's just that the National Temple is a bit far from the post station, and it takes more than half an hour for a fast horse to go back and forth. They drove the carriage to the National Temple, but were stopped at the gate of the temple at the foot of the mountain. After reporting their identities and intentions, they finally saw Liu Lawyer, the sky is already getting dark right now.

Today's daytime prayers were over, Liu Lu was working on the arrangements for the evening, he was already exhausted and busy, when he heard that someone from the inn had something important to do, Liu Lu hurriedly settled the general matters, and then asked Xie Jing Xing to take care of the remaining details.

Seeing the people at the post station, the two servant girls who waited on Qi Wu hurriedly talked about Qi Wu's situation in the past few days.

In the end, Liu Lu frowned, stood up and walked out: "I will go back to the station with you. You are also confused. Mr. Qi Wu is sick and needs to call a doctor. I will punish you for this matter later on." No!"

The maids and servants looked at each other and responded with nana.They all listened to Mr. Qi Jiang's arrangement. At that time, Mr. Qi Jiang was very anxious, and they subconsciously followed the orders. Besides... Mr. Liu must be saying that things should be done in a hurry, and I will not punish you. But what if Mr. Qiwu recovered from his illness and reported it later, and Mr. Liu was dissatisfied with their unruly behavior?

As for the two yamen servants who drove over, they had nothing to say, so they simply hung their heads and did not reply.Anyway, standing at the gate of the post station is still standing, and the two of them help to drive the car and send someone to report the letter, which is not considered a delay in serious business.

Recently, I prayed for the Queen's practice and sat on my knees all day long. Some of the officials were afraid that they would not be able to survive, so they prepared the doctor early.Liu Lu went to the prefect of Licheng for a while, and then brought a famous doctor back to the post station.

But what Liu Lu and his party never expected was that they had just left the National Temple and went down the mountain. When they returned to the city, they heard that the royal post was on fire. Only barely put out the fire.

Others said... a member of the Qi clan didn't escape and was burned to death.

The servant girl and the servant immediately covered their mouths... Mr. Qi Wu was seriously ill, if it really caught fire, he would definitely not be able to run away...

"No, Mr. Qi Jiang has been guarding Mr. Qi Wu in Mr. Qiwu's room, and although there are few people in the post station, there are still a few of them who are strong..." the servant girl murmured.

Originally considering that the empress was in mourning and it was not suitable to ride horses in the street, even though she brought her own horse back with her, Liu Lu still rode in the carriage together.It's just that the news is too shocking at the moment, Liu Lu jumped off the carriage and grabbed the people who just spoke.

After confirming that the post station was really on fire, but the people who spoke were not sure whether "someone died in the fire" was true or not, then Liu Lu took his own horse and headed back to the post station alone.

A pedestrian gave way in a hurry: "Who is this? It's not a rule to ride so fast on the street..."

Liu Lu calmly rushed back to the station, and not far from the station, he could clearly see the charred remains of the station and the black smoke that was still rising.

Liu Lu's face was as silent as ice.

The burning of the royal inn was a major event, but in comparison, as long as no one was killed, it was not serious.But what if someone was killed... Although the emperor didn't really want those two Qi people to enter the palace to serve the emperor, but if they died, Liu Lu knew that he would not be able to please him on the surface.

After the horse entered the post station, Liu Lu rolled over and landed, looking around.

Looking at it from a close distance, the appearance of the station after the fire is even more shocking.Royal inns always like to carve beams and painted buildings, which are extremely simple and luxurious. Because Licheng is rich, this inn uses a lot of wood that is rare on the market.

It's just that no matter how rare the wood is, it's the same when used to burn fire, at most there are some differences in the size and speed of burning.

"Lord Liu!" The maidservants, servants, cooks, yamen servants and others, whose faces and bodies were covered with black ash, saw Liu Lu, and hurried forward to kneel down begging for mercy as if they had finally found their backbone.

Unable to see Qi Wu and Qi Jiang in the field of vision, Liu Lu frowned even more, and stopped these people's incoherent begging for mercy: "Get up, I ask you what you answer."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Several people got up with weak legs.

Liu Lu looked at the scorched blackness in front of him, and asked, "Where are the two Mr. Qi?"

Such a question made the cook and the others want to kneel again.

Finally, the yamen servant trembled and replied: "Qi, Mr. Qi... the fire seems to have started...from Mr. Qiwu's room...it burned too fast. At that time, Mr. Qiwu's room was empty. It was too late...we all went to fight the fire, but the fire...fire, ahem, the fire had reached the stairs, and there was no way to go upstairs..."

"Mr. Qiwu... after the fire had been extinguished for a while, we went to look for it, only to find... only the... bones that were pressed under the bedpost..."

After saying this, the yamen servant knelt down again with a plop, and the rest followed suit, and some could not help but sob softly.

Liu Lu was still holding the horse in his hand, holding the rein tighter and tighter from beginning to end.

"...Where is Young Master Qi Jiang?" Liu Lu asked.

"Mr. Qi Jiang is fine! Mr. Qi Jiang is fine. When Chef Yang discovered the fire, Mr. Qi Jiang was downstairs urging him to cook porridge for Mr. Qi Wu, and he was not trapped in the fire... But, just after the fire went out , only found... the bones of Mr. Qi Wu, and Mr. Qi Jiang didn't say a word, just sat next to the bones and refused to leave..."

Liu Lu nodded: "Why did the fire start? Where were the rest of you at that time? How did the fire go out?"

"We don't know either... Chef Yang suddenly said that he smelled something wrong, so he didn't think much about it. He came out and looked upstairs and found that there was a fire... At that time, we were all in the kitchen except for the big brother who guarded the door. Mr. Qiwu is not feeling well, so we will cook porridge and medicine for him..."

These people are indeed very confused. They were staying in the kitchen well, but suddenly such a big incident happened. They haven't reacted yet, and they are only afraid of being punished.

"To put out the fire...then the fire got big, and some common people came to help, but the inn was too big and burned very fast, and then...it was almost burned, and the fire went out by itself...we brought water, Seeing that there was a flame that seemed to be rising again, I quickly poured it over to extinguish it..."

Liu Lu could tell that there were no more questions from these people, so he could only call the servants of the government office and the assistants to come over later, and they all had to figure out the situation of the fire, and... that look bones.

"Get up, if the final investigation is indeed an accident, I will not ask you to be buried with Mr. Qi Wu, nor will I make things difficult for you." Liu Lu's tone became harsher, "On the other hand, if it is not an accident that the official finds out, you will Prepare yourself for what happens next.”

"Where is Mr. Qi Jiang, take me there."

The veil on Qi Jiang's head was caught by the flames, and a small part of it was burned away, and now it is barely covered.He sat next to the corpse that was definitely not Qi Wu's, and quietly recited the sacrifice for the owner of the corpse in his heart.

Qi Jiang hadn't read too many books, and he didn't like reading. He didn't understand the reincarnation scriptures of Buddhism and Taoism at all, but he felt very sorry, so he had to recite the sacrificial lyrics as best he could.In the past, in the clan land, the clan would hold a big sacrificial ceremony every year. Qi Jiang helped prepare the big ceremony and was very familiar with the sacrificial words.

After all, it is a word of blessing.

When Liu Lu looked for him, what he saw was Qi Jiang sitting in the ruins, surrounded by scorched or yellowed wood and gravel, under one of the burnt wooden pillars, there was a completely unrecognizable The bones of identity.The sky was already dark, and such a scene was even more lonely.

Qi Jiang lowered his head and said softly to the bones: "Don't hear the suffering in the world, don't seek business, although there is no tomorrow in this life, there is no fear in the next life. Encounter is good, the second is people's wishes, and the third is..."

"Young Master Qi Jiang." Liu Lu's tone was rarely gentle, it didn't seem to be either harsh or indifferent.

Qi Jiang paused, and continued to read the sacrificial words to the end, then stopped and looked up at Liu Lu.

"Lord Liu." Qi Jiang called out.

The veil was burned a little, Qi Jiang's half face was exposed, and there was still a smear of black ash on his chin.

Liu Lu looked at him, and then made a bow: "Someone will come later to investigate why the inn caught fire today, and... to collect the bones for Mr. Qi Wu. I want to understand the situation before the fire with Mr. Qi Jiang first. How are you?"

Hearing Liu Lu call this corpse Qi Wu, Qi Jiang was a little relieved... As long as no other doubts were discovered, no one would suspect that this corpse and the person who died in this place were not Qi Wu.

Qi Jiang bit her lips, and then said according to the words she had practiced many times in her heart: "I... I shouldn't have gone downstairs at that time, if I hadn't left this room, Qi Wu wouldn't be too late to run because of the fire... ...He has been very uncomfortable these days, even turning over feels uncomfortable..."

After understanding the situation with Qi Jiang, Liu Lu arranged for someone to take him away from the post station, and first stayed at a nearby official inn, and the people who were serving him followed.

Afterwards, Wu Zuo, who came over with tools on his back, checked the charred corpse in the ruins, because nothing special was found, it was just a young man who had just died, his skin and flesh were burnt, his bones were blackened, and the cause of death was not suspicious. It was just the bones, so Wu Zuo didn't report anything to Liu Lu, he kept the bones and asked Liu Lu how to arrange them.

Later in the night, the news that the royal inn accidentally caught fire, and a member of the Qi clan died in the fire because he was seriously ill and unable to save himself, spread throughout the city.

Qi Wu was sitting in the lobby of Yingying Inn, listening to the people around him complaining in amazement: "Is he really dead? Such a bad luck?"

"It's really dead. This is not the news from just anyone. The arresters of the government office have gone to the post station to check, and even went to work. Finally, a few people came out with a coffin... That Qi clansman It’s really bad luck, you said that you have already reached Licheng, and you can go to Wendu after a while, and the endless glory and wealth you enjoyed in the palace are gone, and you died in this place..."

"I'm afraid I have to bury it on the spot. At most, I can choose a place with a good geomantic omen and a better coffin and tombstone... I will die in a foreign country."
