Chapter 126: Worse than Death
At the moment when the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, a thought flashed through Qin Kaiji's mind so quickly that he had no time to catch it. Then he felt a sharp pain in his body, and then everything went dark before his eyes.
Qin let out a cry, and then nothing happened.
Shen Zhiyan didn't even have time to make a sound.
Hearing the loud noise coming from behind them, the person in charge and the child suddenly turned around and looked at the ruins. Their eyes were full of fear, and then they sat down on the ground, gasping for breath.
The acrobatic troupe not far away suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked towards Tianran.
You are wrong. Apart from that piece of ruins, where else can there be any natural residence?
The guests who were in Tianranju just now all looked frightened.
They were almost, just almost, buried under the rubble.
"Oh my God! How could Tianranju collapse all of a sudden?" Mother Du was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
Xie Changning watched helplessly as Qin Kaiji, Wu, and Chen Zhiyan were buried under the rubble, without a single expression on her face.
Life or death depends on the fate of these few people.
She secretly hoped that they would not die, or at least linger on, because she had to find out who the murderer was, didn't she?
Shen Zhixu had a relieved smile on his face. He turned and left without even glancing in the direction of Tianranju.
He was about to rise to the top and would not allow anyone to stand in his way.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a while, then he slapped his thigh and remembered that there seemed to be three more guests in Tianranju.
When Qin Kaiji, Wu, and Shen Zhiyan were rescued, they were all covered in blood, with only their chests still rising and falling slightly.
Proof that they are still alive.
As for how long they can live, no one can say.
Xie Changning glanced at them indifferently and returned to the Marquis' Mansion before Shen Zhiyan.
When Shen Zhiyan was sent back to the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Changning saw at a glance that his most serious injury was his right arm. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she was afraid that he would never be able to pick up a pen again in the future.
For a scholar, this is tantamount to a disaster.
Doctor Zhao arrived soon.
As expected, just as Xie Changning had guessed, Shen Zhiyan's life was saved, but he could no longer pick up a pen.
After ten years of hard study, he will have to take the exam next year. He has always been very ambitious, and for him, this is probably more painful than death.
If he knew that it was Shen Zhixu who harmed him like this, how could he easily let Shen Zhixu off?
What makes Xie Changning most grateful?
Qin Kaiji was still alive, but he was in a much worse condition than Shen Zhiyan. His legs were smashed to pieces by the collapsed beams, and he would never be able to stand up again in his life.
You know, although he was transferred back to Kyoto, he hasn't taken office yet.
Now, he has endured for more than 20 years and made great efforts to be transferred back to Kyoto, but this is the result. When he wakes up, he will be furious.
Compared with them, Wu was the least injured. She was hit on the back and abdomen, and her arms and arms were all bruised. At least for now, she seemed to be the least injured.
Xie Changning always felt that Wu's injury was not that simple.
Over there, Shen Zhixu was still waiting for news of their deaths. He waited for a whole day. No matter whether it was the Marquis' Mansion or the Qin family, they had not died yet. He knew that they were all still alive.
This made him very disappointed.
"I didn't expect that they were so lucky. They won't be so lucky next time." Why didn't he touch Xie Changning and the Duke's Mansion now?
Is it that he doesn't want to?
No.
He just doesn't have the ability to do so now.
But soon he had it.
After all, being young and strong, Shen Zhiyan was the first to wake up. As soon as he opened his eyes, he met Xie Changning's red eyes.
Shen Zhizhou and Shen Jingshu were also there.
Xie Changning repeated his story, "Zhi Yan, you almost scared your mother to death. Why did you go to Tianranju for no reason? Do you know that you almost lost your life?"
The scene of Tianranju's collapse was clearly engraved in Shen Zhiyan's mind, and he looked terrified.
What was he doing at Tianranju?
It was his eldest brother who asked him to go.
Why hasn’t Big Brother come yet?
Could it be... that he already knew that Tianranju would collapse?
As soon as this thought came up, it was suppressed by Shen Zhiyan. His elder brother did not have the ability to predict the future, so he should not doubt his elder brother like this. But it was also a fact that his elder brother was stabbed last time. Could it be that his elder brother really didn't care at all?
I don’t know if Qin Kaiji and Wu are dead?
It would be best if they died.
Xie Changning had given instructions long ago, so no one mentioned Shen Zhiyan's injury. Since he had taken the medicine, he didn't feel any pain, so he subconsciously thought that his injury was not serious.
Wu and Qin Kaiji also woke up one after another.
When Wu just opened her eyes, she was still worried about Shen Zhiyan and Shen Zhixu. When she learned about Qin Kaiji's injury, she felt like the sky had fallen.
Have you ever seen a lame or paralyzed person serving as an official in the court?
The official's wife's dream was suddenly shattered. Wu couldn't help but burst into tears, "Master, Master... What should I do?"
They had endured so many years of hardship in their posts before being transferred back to Kyoto. The master hadn’t even worked as an official in the capital for a single day when both of his legs were broken!!!
She was afraid that Qin Kaiji would not be able to accept it, so she wanted to ask someone to hide it from Qin Kaiji first, but who would dare to hide it from Qin Kaiji?
As soon as Qin Kaiji opened his eyes, he asked about his injuries. The housekeeper hesitated and didn't dare to say a word.
Qin Kaiji suddenly felt something was wrong. He glanced over and saw the housekeeper kneeling on the ground with a thud. "The doctor said that the master's leg injury is too serious. I'm afraid, I'm afraid... he will never be able to stand up again!"
What?
"Puff!" Qin Kaiji's eyes were bloodshot, the blood in his chest was churning violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His career.
His career... is over now!
The butler didn't dare to say a word. Suddenly, Qin Kaiji thought of something. He grabbed the butler's sleeve and asked about the situation of Shen Zhixu and Shen Zhiyan.
The housekeeper didn't dare lie to him. "In reply to the master, I heard that the second son of the Marquis' Mansion was seriously injured. As for the eldest son Shen, he didn't go to Tianranju that day."
Shen Zhixu didn’t go!
The thought that Qin Kaiji hadn't grasped that day suddenly flashed through his mind: Could it be that... all of this was done by that rebellious son Shen Zhixu?
