A guard stood in front of a group of ruins. He moved the burned beams away with force, and picked up the broken tiles and waste bricks in front of him.
"Let's go, this place has been raided, no one is down there."
A guard shouted to him. They, the people from Dali Temple and the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, had been searching for more than an hour. If anyone was alive, they would have been discovered long ago.
They have dug through this pile of rubble, not even leaving any broken limbs or arms.
The corpses have been pieced together just now, and they managed to piece together more than eighty bodies. Where are the thirty or forty people left?
You want to see people when you are alive, you want to see corpses when you die, they cannot disappear out of thin air.
"The number of people doesn't match, there are still about thirty people missing! How can we not find them?" the guard shouted without looking back.
"Maybe it was burned. The fire was so strong that there were no bones left."
A guard behind him approached, his voice a little low.
"Impossible! Bones cannot be burned easily. It's impossible." The guard was still picking at the ruins, and his men kept moving.
The long sword was full of gaps, and when he struggled to pry the tiles apart, it finally broke.
He threw away the dagger and picked it up with his hands.
Seeing this, the guard behind him said, "Perhaps there is nothing left after the burn. Who can tell the difference among the remaining limbs?"
The man's voice gradually choked up, and the guard in front seemed to feel something, and then immediately turned his head and looked over.
This person has an ordinary face, slightly dark complexion, and a very unremarkable appearance. However, there is a scar above the eyebrow bone on the right side of his face that extends to the lower eyelid.
It's very unfamiliar, and his behavior is a bit suspicious, but he doesn't have the heart to think about it now.
The guard in front turned his head and continued to pick it up without giving up.
"It's useless to search like this. It's just a waste of time!" Scared Man warned again.
The guard who was picking up the ruins shouted without looking back: "What does it have to do with you?"
"Instead of wasting time here, it is better to look elsewhere. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope."
When the guard heard this, he stopped moving his hands and then thought about nothing else.
"Let's go to the main hall where the inner curtain officer lives. Most of it collapsed, but it was not completely destroyed. The chance is greater."
The guard immediately looked toward the main hall and found that most of the house had collapsed. However, there were too many masonry and rubbles, and he did not seem to search carefully.
Over there is the resting place for the inner and outer curtain officials, which is a little far away from the dragon gate. But according to the wind direction at that time, this place seems to be safer than other places?
In any case, it is a glimmer of hope. We have already searched all over the dormitory, so we can only search that place.
He immediately ran away, heading in that direction.
Su Jinxun, who was lying on the bed, woke up slowly and saw that the place he looked at was very unfamiliar.
He turned his head and glanced to the side, and found a person standing next to the bed, it was the chief steward Xu Luo.
Then I remembered that he was still in the Hall of Supreme Harmony before falling asleep, so he should still be in the palace now.
"Hey! Mr. Su, are you awake?"
Xu Luo patted his chest, looking scared.
"We were in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at that time, and you just fell straight down, which frightened us so much. The emperor immediately called the imperial doctor and ordered people to carry you to the Document Pavilion."
Xu Luo chattered non-stop, occasionally giving instructions behind him: "Go and ask the imperial doctor quickly to tell Master Su that he's awake."
"You don't know that the emperor was shocked and worried! From time to time, he will send someone over to inquire."
Listening to Xu Luo's voice, Su Jinxun felt noisy.
He suddenly thought of something and immediately sat up from the bed, making Xu Luo fall back in fright.
"Ouch! Don't dare to be so surprised. The imperial doctor has told you to have a good rest, and you must not be overjoyed or sad."
Su Jinxun grabbed Xu Luo's arm and said, "General Manager, where are my grandchildren? Have they found them?"
Xu Luo's expression suddenly changed. Sure enough! Mr. Su woke up to inquire about the situation.
Seeing Xu Luo's silence, Su Jinxun understood immediately and collapsed on the bed.
"It's over! Our Su family is over!" Su Jinxun said sadly.
He lay back on the couch again, feeling a little blurry for a moment.
Su Yizhao and Su Yijue are the two most promising descendants of the Su family. Originally, the prosperity of the Su family was just around the corner.
But now everything is over. From now on, the Su family will be silent for more than ten years, or even defeated for this reason, and will never recover from it.
Only two or three hours later, the news of the fire in Gongyuan spread throughout the capital.
Naturally, the Su Mansion had received the news a long time ago. At this moment, the mansion was filled with gloom and gloom. Everyone had a sad look on their faces. Even Dahei, who ate and drank too much every day, had lost all energy.
"How's it going? Isn't it already in court? Has the old lady come back?"
Mrs. Tang looked at Mrs. Li who came in a hurry and asked anxiously.
Mother Li didn't have time to wipe the sweat on her forehead and just shook her head.
"Not back yet."
"What's going on? Could it be that you have an emergency?"
Tang's family was extremely worried. Her father-in-law was the backbone of the family. If he really got an emergency, their family would really be doomed.
Someone from the palace just now said that the old lady suddenly fainted, which frightened the whole house.
If Su Jinxun falls, can the current Su family still be able to hold on?
"Su Huai just returned home, and the old slave met him in the outer courtyard. He said that the old man was just angry and was being treated in the palace."
"How could this happen? My father-in-law has always been in good health, alas!"
Mrs. Tang sighed and couldn't help but think of that short-lived bastard.
"There is not much hope for the survival of the Fifth Young Master and the Seventh Young Master. I heard that Dali Temple and the Five Cities Army and Horses Division have searched the Gongyuan, and there are no survivors. There are no two young masters in the list of survivors. I am afraid they are
It’s more bad than good.”
Mother Li was still frightened when she talked about this matter. She had criticized the seventh young master at first, but when life was at stake, what did the plots of the back house mean?
"A good person. He went out that morning with a smile on his face. He thought he would be back in ten days, but who would have expected?"
Mother Li wanted to say that heaven and man are separated forever, but considering that the matter has not yet been finalized, she did not dare to say more.
Mrs. Tang couldn't help but her eyes were slightly moist. Although Su Yizhao was very calculating, he was usually well-behaved and sensible, and he also won a lot for the fourth room.
She didn't really hate him, she just didn't like his identity.
Thinking again of her cold eyes and indifference towards him in the past, she couldn't help but regret it.
Even cats and dogs have feelings after being raised for a long time, let alone humans?
Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, Tang choked up and said, "How come you have the same fate as his mother?"
Mother Li was also sighing. The seventh young master was about to succeed. Good times were ahead of him, but he had no luck to enjoy them.
"Mother, fifth brother, seventh brother and the others?"
Su Yiliang rushed into the main room suddenly, his eyes were slightly red, and he felt indescribably uncomfortable when he saw Tang Shi and Li's mother in silence.
