355: Night Fire
Xiang Wen's words had deviated from the original content, and even Xiang Wen himself was surprised why he would say such words.
They are the Xiang family of the two queens, how can those untouchables be compared to them.
Didn't he humiliate himself and his family?
But what Xiang Old Lady and Xiang Wen didn't expect was that Zhou Yinzhu actually nodded and did not refute Xiang Wen's question, "Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat." ”
"On the way back from the border, I met too many bandits! If it is a prosperous age, why do they need to be like this?" Zhou Yinzhu continued to say lightly, "If the bandits of Da Chu are caught by the government government, they will affect their families. But the bandits I met on the road were old and young, and even ......"
There were even weak women and maidens.
They all have hatred in their eyes.
To resist is to die.
If you don't resist, you die.
So why not resist?
Although the turmoil on the border has been temporarily quelled, if Emperor Wanqi continues to toss like this again, then it is only a matter of time before Great Chu will fall. This is also the reason why Zhou Yinzhu will rush to the capital without delay.
"Over the years, my father has not forced Xiang to go to a dead end, and I will not either!" Zhou Yinzhu stood up, "But I am different from my father, my father wants Xiang to balance the Jiang family, and I don't need to!"
Over the years, Emperor Wan Qi has not hated the Xiang family, but Emperor Wan Qi also understands that once the Xiang family is gone, no one will be able to shake the Jiang family's status in the court.
He kept Xiang Jia, and he was just helping himself.
The Xiang family wants to be the woman of the Xiang family in the back position, so he will give it.
But the right to the rear position will never be given to the Xiang family.
Xiang Jia has achieved his goal, and will naturally help Emperor Wan Qi.
This is also one of the reasons why Emperor Wan Qi has been on the throne for so many years without being overthrown.
Xiang Old Lady still wanted to speak, but saw a fire not far away.
Southeast......
If he remembers correctly, that direction is the Jiang family's mansion.
Although over the years, the two of them have been incompatible, but the house is not far apart. Especially at this time, the firelight in the sky almost reflects the night sky of the capital in orange, which is weird and chilling.
"Jiang family......" Xiang Wen reacted to the old lady first, "Father, that's the Jiang family, right?"
Zhou Yinzhu walked out of the house and looked at the old lady's gaze.
The night was never peaceful.
Even if he hated Emperor Wan Qi and the Jiang family back then, he never thought about what happened tonight. But Zhou Yinzhu also knows that from tonight onwards, he will no longer be his former self, and what he has to do is never above board.
Killing one's father and killing one's relatives is something that only ghosts do, right?
At that time, the fire in the Jiang family's house attracted the attention of many people in the capital, but those who wanted to put out the fire never appeared.
The firelight illuminated the sky above the capital like a sunset, and from time to time there was a crackling sound. Strangely, there was no sound in it, and it seemed that there was no living breath in the huge mansion.
However, at this time, in the Jiang family's house, Jiang Kexin, who was originally asleep, suddenly woke up from his dream.
She was the favored young lady of the Jiang family, but she was punished by her grandfather for some reason, so she moved to live in a courtyard far away from the main courtyard.
"What's ......" Jiang Kexin rubbed her eyes, but found that her voice was hoarse and abnormal, as if she was blocked by something.
When she gradually sobered up, she found that her house had been surrounded by fire.
Jiang Kexin was covered in cold sweat, she almost crawled off the bed, with tears in her eyes.
How did it go out of the water...... What about the mothers-in-law and maids who are on duty at night?
Jiang Kexin was terrified.
But no matter how scared she was, she still couldn't leave the house surrounded by fire, and only death awaited her.
"Help... Help me...... Fast...... Someone!" She tried her best, but she couldn't speak.
There was nothing to see but the fire.
For some reason, Jiang Kexin remembered the teenager she saw in the pharmacy in the past.
It was the only memory she could remember in her mind.
And not far from the Jiang family's house, a very simple carriage was parked.
The carriage was inconspicuous in the corner, and the horses were not frightened by the distant fire.
After half a ring, a man in a black night suit walked out of the shadows, "Master, it's all done!"
"Hmm!" replied slowly, "I see!"
The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Is the master going home?"
"Go to North Street, I remember there's a hawthorn crystal cake over there!" replied the man in the carriage.
The night-worn walker was stunned and replied, "Yes!"
Hawthorn crystal cake is an appetizer, especially the dim sum from the old shop on North Street, which is the perfect choice for appetizing.
But the person in the carriage didn't like these little snacks.
Soon, the carriage disappeared into the night.
Some people were terrified that night, and some people began to flee in a hurry by taking advantage of the night.
When the morning sun shone through the weak clouds to the earth, the guards in the capital moved slowly towards the Jiang family, as if they had only discovered the Jiang family's water movement at this time.
Many people who watched the excitement were blocked by the guards.
The Jiang family's gorgeous mansion in the past was in a mess at this time, and they could no longer see what it used to be.
The burnt smell is pungent.
When there were more and more people watching the excitement, Gao Changwen, who had rarely appeared in front of everyone, appeared outside the gate of Jiang's house with a brocade guard.
For a while, the people who watched the excitement disappeared a lot with his arrival.
Although it is very interesting to watch the excitement, these people care more about their lives than interesting.
They never care who is unlucky, they just think that it is a good thing that someone who is better off than them is unlucky.
When it was time for breakfast, Xiao Ziyu, who was in Baifu, learned about it from Haitang's mouth.
She slept well last night and had no dreams all night.
She is really tired these days, from reading the account books to meddling in the Bai family's business, everything has to start from scratch.
It wasn't what she liked, but she had to do.
After listening to Haitang finish talking about this matter, Xiao Ziyu actually looked at the breakfast in front of him and suddenly felt tasteless.
"Are you sure it's Jiang's mother?" Xiao Ziyu frowned and asked again.
Begonia nodded, "Yes, ma'am!"
Xiao Ziyu rubbed her eyebrows, thinking that she didn't care about Bai Congjian a little less these days.
For some reason, she always felt that this matter was not so simple.
Bai Congjian must have hidden what she was doing, and what puzzled her the most was that when she went to see Ji Hao, she was directly rejected by Ji Hao.
Her grandfather, who doted on her, didn't want to see her at this time.
They, although they never lie to her, are good at concealing it.
"Madam!" Begonia seemed to remember something, and took out some snacks from the food box, "You have to have breakfast!"
