I have to say that the Zeng family's luck is not bad.
It is common for such a powerful explosion to kill and injure dozens of people.
But thankfully, they had pulled the carriage aside before, and the idle man who secretly got on the carriage used his body as a barrier.
He himself was blown to pieces. In addition to him, four other people were killed and more than twenty others were injured.
But those who died and those who were seriously injured were all servants of the palace. Only one guest was seriously injured, an alternate official who had recently arrived in Beijing.
The procession sending off the bride was also frightened, the drummers stopped playing, and the sedan did not dare to move forward.
The horse Zeng Nan was riding was frightened and knocked him off. Fortunately, he was supported by others and was not injured.
"What's going on?! How could this happen?!" The prince came out and saw such a bloody and messy scene. He couldn't help but be shocked, confused and angry.
The smell of sulfur and saltpeter was everywhere, mixed with the smell of burning, which was nauseating.
Today is his youngest son's big day, but something like this happened, and he must get to the bottom of it!
"Your Majesty, it's what's in the car!" The butler's ears were still buzzing and he couldn't hear the sound at all.
The explosion was so loud that the ears of everyone present were damaged without exception.
He was able to answer the prince's words because he judged what the prince said through the shape of his mouth.
"Hurry up and treat the injured, and quickly wrap up these corpses and carry them away!" Zeng Li ordered his men, "Don't let the guests inside come out, this scene is not good-looking!"
"Your Majesty, do you want to report to the official?" the person below asked.
"If such a big thing happens, how can we do it if we don't report it to the official?" Zeng Li said, "Bring a barrier and separate it from the west door. Let the bride enter the house first, don't waste time."
Xu Chunjun and Jiang Nuan were also there. When there was an explosion outside, Xu Chunjun hugged Jiang Nuan immediately.
Jiang Nuan was so scared that she hugged her stomach tightly.
These female guests are all in the fourth entrance courtyard of the inner house, which is far away from the door.
Most of the male guests entered at the second or third place. Huo Tian didn't bother to check outside the door and ran directly inside to find Jiang Nuan.
Zheng Wuji followed closely behind him and ran over to see if Xu Chunjun was okay.
Ke Wangchen also came in. He came to see Zeng Ci.
"A Nuan, are you okay? Are you scared?" Huo Tian pulled Jiang Nuan over and looked at her carefully, "Does your stomach hurt?"
"I'm fine, I just got a fright." Jiang Nuan said, "Go outside and see what happened."
Huo Tian still had a good relationship with the two Zeng brothers. Now that Jiang Nuan was fine, he was relieved and naturally wanted to go outside to take a look.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Xu Chunjun looked at Zheng Wuji and smiled slightly, "This is the inner house. It's inconvenient for you to come in, so get out quickly!"
"Then you stay here, don't run around, the situation outside is still uncertain." Zheng Wuji warned a few words before turning around and going out.
"No, I have to go outside and take a look." Zeng Ci frowned, his face looking very ugly.
"You should be here now. There are a lot of people outside, and they are all men." Ke Wangchen said, "If you want to go, I will go too."
A huge sound spread into the house. Although the people inside didn't know the specific situation, they had a rough idea from the people who came in from outside.
"Oh my god! It's really scary!" Most of the women were timid and were a little frightened at this time, but they couldn't help but whisper and talk endlessly.
"Sister Xu, how could this happen?" Jiang Nuan felt very uncomfortable.
Mo Yuzhen is a relative of Cen Yunchu, and has a good relationship with them.
On her happy day, something like this happened. How unlucky it was!
"I heard they said the carriage exploded. There must be something in the carriage." Xu Chunjun didn't know the specific situation and could only speculate based on what he had heard so far. "We can't help, so don't cause trouble. Just stay here quietly.
Come on!"
"Sister Xu, do you think someone did this on purpose? Who could it be? The Zeng family has always been very popular, but there are still people who do such a vicious thing." This is the first time in Jiang Nuan's life that he has encountered such a blatant and harmful thing.
.
Of course the person who did this did it because he had a grudge against the Zeng family, but as to what kind of grudge it was? Was it for the entire Zeng family, or simply for Zeng Nan? Or was it Mo Yuzhen? It's hard to say.
So Xu Chunjun just shook his head and said nothing.
Then the bride came in and everyone came to watch the ceremony.
Although the drums started playing again, the master of ceremonies sang loudly.
But no matter what, this happy event was also cast under a cloud, and people couldn't be happy.
After the worship service, according to the rules, the banquet must be opened.
But no one had any intention of eating at this time. They just sat and dealt with it for a while, and then they all said goodbye hastily.
Because such a bloody incident occurred at the front door, everyone walked through the back street. It can be said that the Zeng family's happy event was completely ruined by the explosion.
At this time, in a secluded house in Beijing, a woman was leaning on the couch with her eyes half closed.
Two young and strong men were carefully massaging her. The smoke from the incense burner on the table was curling up. The room was warm, keeping out the cold late autumn.
A middle-aged man with a roe-headed head and rat eyes slipped in. He looked like a mouse that couldn't see the light, his eyes were darting around and he was always close to the wall.
"Sister, I just passed by the gate of Yongxian County Prince's Mansion." The man with a sinister eyebrow said, "I will report to you when I come back."
"Did it explode?" the woman asked lazily.
"It exploded, it exploded." The man was very excited, "That thunderbolt is really powerful!"
"Who is dead?" The third lady raised her eyebrows, seeming a little happy.
"Four or five people died," the man shrank his neck, "It's a pity that they are all servants."
"Where's Zeng Nan? He's not even injured?" Sanniangzi asked coldly, as if she hated this person.
"He fell off the horse, but he didn't seem to be injured." The man pinched a handful and said, "Originally, according to our plan, the explosion didn't happen until the sedan arrived in front of the door. But an idle guy with dirty hands and feet got into the car.
Went inside and triggered the mechanism before it exploded in advance."
"Idiot!" Sanniang's eyes widened, "You're so careless!"
"Sanniang, you guys are already very cautious, but you don't dare to step forward at that time." The man defended, "But just such a fuss is enough to make the Zeng family choke. So many people died on the day of the wedding, it's enough
They will remember it forever."
"No traces left, right?" Sanniangzi's mood seemed to calm down again, "If someone finds out, you know what to do."
The man shivered excitedly and said quickly: "I know, I know, I know! Don't worry, Miss San."
These people are doing stupid things and selling their lives for money. They should have known what the outcome would be.
