Chapter 781: Strange Wang Heng
After that, there were three or four more explosions in succession.
Shen Qi didn't dare to delay any longer and ran up.
At this time, the street of the Kyoto Prefecture was already in an uproar: the tiger guards and the people were running and shouting, panicked and confused, and they all rushed here.
Although the Liang Mansion is behind the government and the courtyard is deep, first the dogs barked, the people shouted, then the fireworks were set off, and the drums were bursting, and the people nearby were alarmed, and some people got up to investigate. The movement became louder and louder, and there were bursts of fighting. Most of the people are afraid of things, even if they are curious, they don't dare to come out to see the excitement at this big night and curfew. Then the situation took a turn for the worse: the government was on fire, followed by a thunderstorm, and they ran out one after another.
Why?
In a densely populated city like the capital, once a fire breaks out, it is not trivial, and the surrounding neighborhoods will suffer, if the fire is not curbed in time, it is not impossible to burn a few streets, can you not panic?
This is the people, and there are tiger guards.
The tiger guards who were patrolling the night in other areas saw the fireworks and heard the drumming in the middle of the night, and they all rushed over, and when Shen Qi arrived, they found that the four patrol forbidden troops had arrived before him, and his position at that time was closest to the government office.
Shen Qi had no time to think about this problem, he saw the flames in the air behind the mansion, and he was horrified. The people panicked and didn't know what to do, helping to beat the drums, while shouting, "Go out of the water, put out the fire!" and the whole street boiled.
Shen Qi hurriedly ordered the Tiger Guards: immediately go in to put out the fire, and ordered a team to pick up Xie Yaohui, and ordered someone to take his warrant and go back to dispatch other Tiger Guards to assist.
In the back house of the government, the fire has become a trend.
The houses that were built in late summer and early autumn were all caught in flames, especially the upper house of the second courtyard, the bombed houses overturned, and the fire dragon raged and flew on the ruins. The fire in the east and west wings was even bigger, but the houses were not bombed. The fire is spreading in a frenzied way towards the frontyard, backyard and beyond.
Shen Qi swallowed his saliva-
How can this be saved?
This is not as good as the south of the Yangtze River, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and in the capital, even if everyone is mobilized to carry water from the well, it is a drop in the bucket. If the capital is flooded, if it burns too much, the only way is to isolate the surrounding dwellings and then let it burn out.
Just when he didn't know how to start, two guards rushed over, Shen Qi knew, it was Liang Xinming's guards Yao Chu and Liang Jinyun, and they were about to ask them, Yao Chu shouted frantically: "Why did you come? Go in and save the adult!"
Liang Jinyun also shouted at Shen Qi: "Send someone in quickly!
Both men were full of tears and panicked.
Shen Qi originally wanted to refuse, but there was really no way to save it, but he thought about it, and immediately ordered a few long breaths, drenched his body, held his breath, and rushed in with Yao Chu and Liang Jinyun to find Liang Xinming.
Shen Qi also assigned other forbidden troops: tearing down the partitions of the surrounding houses and digging earth to stop the spread of the fire. The forbidden army dispersed quickly, some went to find the people to borrow tools, some evacuated the people, and the three classes of the government were busy with the fast messengers.
Shen Qi had time to look around, and saw several injured men languishing and lying in the open space, dying, and someone shouted, "Find a doctor!"
The man showed a black card at Shen Qi and said, "I'm Long Yinwei, please send someone to ask the doctor to treat them." β
Shen Qi hurriedly ordered the forbidden army to go to the medical hall to ask for a doctor, and then asked the dragon guard: "How did it burn up? Why didn't Lord Liang run out?
The man said, "The doctor and the adults are all in the house. β
Shen Qi was shocked, and asked again: "Who did it, what about people?"
The man said blankly: "It's all dead." He grinned with palpitations as he remembered the horror of the situation just now, and he was even more terrified when he looked at the fire in front of him.
Suddenly, Yao Chu rushed out, fell to his knees on the ground, raised his hands in fists, and shouted "Ah-" in grief and indignation, while Liang Jinyun looked around blankly.
They were sent by Wang Heng to guard Liang Xinming very early. After she became famous, after she was pardoned for the crime of deceiving the king, after the thief was exterminated, and before the Wang family was about to marry her into the door, she encountered such a great calamity, they could not bear it. They can't bear it, how can Wang Heng bear it?
How will they meet Wang Heng?
How to meet the king?
The two of them regretted that they didn't stay with her at that time, live and die with her, and now they don't have to be tortured.
Suddenly remembering something, Yao Chu jumped up and ran.
Liang Jinyun also jumped up and ran.
One of the two ran to the royal house, and the other ran to the palace.
Shen Qi hurriedly asked the forbidden army who came out later: "Didn't you see Lord Liang?"
The man's hair and clothes were charred, and his companion slapped him vigorously, and he gasped for breath, and finally gasped for breath, before he spoke, "No one is seen." β
Shen Qi asked heavily, "Are they all dead?"
The man shook his head and said, "I didn't see anyone." The inside exploded, and it is estimated that people are buried underneath. The fire was too big to dig. β
Shen Qi: "......"
Xie Yaohui galloped wildly and came in a quarter of an hour.
When I saw this monstrous fire, my eyes turned red.
He asked Shen Qi one after another, can he send someone in to save Lord Liang, can he send someone to isolate the surrounding houses, can he send someone to the palace to tell Wang Heng?
Shen Qi replied with great confidence in the first two points, and he couldn't answer the last question, saying, "The palace has already been under the key, how can you see people?"
Xie Yaohui glanced at him coldly, and did not argue with him to explain, so he directly ordered someone to go to the palace to find Wang Heng, and asked Wang Jian to go to the palace to find Wang Heng.
Yilong Yinwei said: "I'll go!"
Xie Yaohui heard that he was the Long Yin guard sent by the emperor to Liang Xinming's side, and said excitedly: "That's better." You're going to go!"
Jiang Dafeng had already gone to the palace.
When Wang Jian heard the news, his legs went limp.
The whole Wang family was alarmed.
Wang Jin, Wang Xu, and others rushed to the palace, while Wang Jian rushed to the south gate of the imperial city to knock on the door. Arriving there, Liang Jinyun was arguing with the dragon guards guarding the door.
The Dragon Guard didn't let go.
This is the imperial palace, if something happens in the city, he will knock on the door to find the emperor, wouldn't it be chaotic? Who has this right? Liang Xinming can't do it!
Liang Jinyun also knew this, but he was unwilling, just when Wang Ji came, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly got out of the way, letting Wang Ji come forward and say.
The king said sternly: "Is this a trivial matter? You didn't hear the sound of bombing? If you don't tell the emperor about this kind of big thing, do you have to wait for the thieves to bomb the palace?"
The dragon guard Khan came down and defended: "My lord, it's not that we don't know, we don't have the right to open the door, we have to open it to the people inside." β
Wang Yan said sharply: "Don't open the door, tell them to go to the emperor!"
There was no need to pass it anymore, and the gates were opened from the inside.
If the assassin just set the fire, no matter how big the trouble is, the palace will not be able to hear it, but those few explosions are too powerful, not like the thunderbolts used in the army, they should be illegally homemade, the amount of gunpowder is very large, and the power is extremely heavy.
The Marquis of Zhongyi urgently ordered the dragon guards to come out to check.
When the dragon guards came to the south gate tower of the imperial city, they first found a fire in the middle of the city, and then heard Liang Jinyun arguing outside, and hurriedly turned back to tell the emperor.
Wang Heng almost fainted when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, ......"
Emperor Jing Kang didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and said: "You get out of the palace quickly! Loyal and righteous marquis, transfer the dragon guards to protect Wang Aiqing from the palace and save Liang Aiqing!"
Zhongyi Hou hurriedly said: "Yes." β
After Wang Heng left, Cui Yuan and the others speculated about who did it.
Yan Duyang said: "Do you still need to check this? It must be Lin Xiaotian!"
Emperor Jing Kang couldn't sit still, got up, hurriedly walked out of the imperial study, went to the south gate of the imperial city to watch, and when he saw it, his legs and feet were weak, and he burst into tears, and muttered: "Qingyun ......" After the dust settled, was she going?
No, I will not allow it!
He turned to Zhongyi Hou and said, "I want to leave the palace!"
The Marquis of Zhongyi was shocked and hurriedly persuaded him.
Cui Yuan and the others also strongly persuaded them, saying that now that it is ugly, it is easy to get out of the palace, if they meet a lurking thief, they will not fall into a trap!
Emperor Jing Kangdi couldn't, so he could only dispel his thoughts.
He ordered the dragon guards to inquire about the news, and to return to the palace once every half an hour, while he himself stayed in the imperial study and stayed awake all night.
Wang Heng rode his horse on the street, and when he arrived at the palace, he turned around and left when he saw the fire. Everyone waited for him to go crazy and get angry with others, but he was gone, and they couldn't help but look at each otherβthis really doesn't make sense.
Wang Jian also felt that his son was not normal and panicked.
"Antai, where are you going?"
Wang Heng closed his lips tightly and said nothing.
He turned over and got on his horse again, and led the dragon guards to make a detour to the street behind the mansion, and when he saw this, the fire spread to the houses on the street here, and the houses collapsed, becoming a sea of ruins and fire, and he showed fear.
"Dig here, fill in the excavated earth and suppress the fire!" he ordered the tiger guards who were isolated from the firefighters and the people who had been temporarily recruited.
The tiger guards did not dare to slack off and hurriedly obeyed orders.
Wang Heng turned his horse's head again, ran a short run, jumped off the horse, and rushed into a house on the side of the road. The family was standing at the door watching the excitement, and they were anxious, for fear that the fire would spread to their home, and they only hoped that the forbidden army would move quickly. Suddenly, an official rushed into the house, followed by the dragon guards hulala, and all poured in. The men and women of the family shouted in unison, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"
Wang Ji said later: "Don't panic, Hengzhu is not here to copy your house." He's here to put out the fire!" He didn't know what his son was doing when he came in, but for the time being, in order to calm the people's hearts, he could only say this, so as not to disturb the people.
The man said, "The fire has not yet burned." β
Wang Ji has already entered.
Liang Jinyun followed closely behind, and said impatiently when he heard this: "Stupid! Won't it be too late when the burn comes! My family is a scholar of the Criminal Department, can he still lie to you?"
The man said, "Oh, oh! yes, yes!"
Said to follow up in a hurry.
I saw that Wang Heng was measuring the courtyard of his house, and he went into the house to measure the depth, looking at the fire in the direction of the government for a while, and frowning and meditating for a while, looking at it dumbfounded, how do you feel that this is not like your own home, but like Wang's family?
Liang Jinyun had already been ordered by Wang Heng to call a team of forbidden soldiers with shovels in their hands to come in, and when Wang Heng stood in front of the kitchen, he drew a big circle with his toes on the ground, said "dig", and hurriedly waved his hand: "Dig quickly!"
Wang Heng added: "Dig down according to this circle, and then come diagonally to this side, everyone will do it! Quick! Each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!"
When the people heard this, they threw off their arms and dug up.
Wang Jian trembled all over - his son's appearance is very similar to the old servant's crazy image when he was in the Taiji Cave, this is crazy?
It must be crazy, otherwise the government will burn like this, Liang Xinming doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, how can he be calm?
