"His Royal Highness the Prince, the lower officials feel that this matter is inappropriate, no one in this Manchu Dynasty knows that the Xie family is in collusion with King Ding, if we rashly make such a big move, we will inevitably be suspicious. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Lord Sima, you must be too cautious, as long as we clean up our tails, who can help us? Who can Nai Dong Gong He? ”

"Lord Zhang's words are wrong, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is Rong Guifei's person, he is known as the reincarnation of Bao Zheng, if he bites us and doesn't let go, he will definitely pursue the result, the gains outweigh the losses, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"Huh...... Lord Sima thought that this Concubine Rong still had some ability now, and King Xing was gone, where did she plan to extend her hand? ”

"That's right, Lord Zhang is right!"

"It's hard to guarantee that this Concubine Rong has a grudge and is waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on ......"

The discussion of a group of people in the thatched hut was in full swing, completely unaware that a danger was creeping closer, and there was no sound in the quiet suburbs except for the cold wind howling by.

"Squeak."

At this moment, the wooden door of the thatched hut was suddenly opened, and a black figure walked out of it, and at the same time a neat voice sounded: "His Royal Highness the Prince, go slowly." ”

On the hillside a hundred steps away, a burly man was about to make a move soon, and Zhu Shang hurriedly held down his hand and said, "Don't worry." ”

"Everybody's leaving!"

"You must know that our ultimate goal is not the crown prince, the prince must live, he is the key person to contain the entire court!" Zhu Shang saw that someone poked out a head in the thatched hut, and hurriedly pressed the high head of the person next to him, and lowered his voice and admonished, "Don't speak." ”

The man in the thatched hut merely poked his head out and looked out, and then hurriedly stepped back, and the door creaked long, no doubt to give a signal to the people hiding on the hillside.

Zhu Shang bowed slightly, and the people behind him lurked outside the thatched hut, which was surrounded by a long fence covered with a thin layer of snow, but in fact it had been soaked in fire oil for three days and three nights.

A group of people divided into two ways, one part quietly touched the back of the carriage to kill the groom, and the other part quickly moved the nearest straw to the fence, and the flint "snapped", which was particularly crisp in the suburbs, and the people who were laughing in the house paused when they heard the movement, but they only paused, and soon continued to talk.

"Whoosh! Sou! Sou! ”

The sound of several cold arrows can no longer reassure the people inside, the closed firewood door opened again at this time, Zhu Shang saw the right time to pull out the bow and arrow, as soon as he let go, the cold arrow with sparks on the string quickly shot ~ into the thatched house.

The cold arrows like fireballs flew towards the thatched hut one after another, and the rooftops, paper windows, and broken wooden tables all quickly ignited thick fires, which were particularly conspicuous in this white and vast countryside.

Seven or eight people rushed out of the thatched hut, but there was only despair on their frightened faces, because there was also a fire outside the courtyard that was approaching the thatched hut, and there was no way out!

"Ah!!h

One of the middle-aged men, who was relatively bloated, had no time to dodge, and was burned by the flying sparks, which jumped from the corners of his clothes to his robes, and the smell of burnt pork permeated the entire courtyard.

"Lord Sima!"

"Don't go over! We can't protect ourselves, how can we save him? If you look at him like that, is there any chance of surviving? Don't bother us all! ”

Someone wanted to rush over to save people, but was pulled by Zhang Qian, and Sima Ru, who had become a burning man who had been suffering from anxiety, suddenly raised his head and used his last strength to pounce on Zhang Qian.

There was no doubt another scream in the courtyard, but in a moment, none of the people who were wandering around to escape the fire snake were spared, and they all ended up burning alive.

"Look at this blazing sky, it's so beautiful!" Zhu Shang looked at this place of billowing red light, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were like his people, hiding too many secrets, so that people couldn't see clearly.

In Jinling City, there were guards galloping wildly, and the horsewhips did not stop for half a time, and the pedestrians were so frightened by his lifeless behavior that they jumped into the shops on both sides of the road, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ”

A young boy turned around and saw this scene, and was stunned, and stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses, Rao was so, and the man on horseback had no intention of stopping, and the whip in his hand unceremoniously waved at the boy and shouted: "Get out!" ”

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp, but the expected horsewhip did not fall on the boy for a long time, but was caught by King Su, who had just rushed back to Jinling, his eyes widened angrily, and he suddenly pulled the person on the horseback off the horse.

"How can this be true? When you are wearing a military uniform, you should put the people first in everything, how can you do that? Which one are you under the Lordship? Seeing that he fell heavily to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, King Su couldn't help but glance at his small body, thinking about where this fall should have broken, and couldn't help sneering and said, "Jinling's soldiers are delicate, if they get to the battlefield, they are only afraid that they will ...... in an instant."

The guard who had fallen off the horse raised his head with difficulty, grabbed King Su's heel and interrupted in a hurry: "There was a sudden fire in the western suburbs, and Lord Cui of the Ministry of Works, Lord Shi Zhang of Jingzhao Nei, Sima Ru, the prince Zhan Shi Wu, and Lord Prince Xima Chen were all unfortunate ......."

When he said this, he gasped and breathed back, and King Su was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly squatted down and asked, "How did this happen?" Did the palace know about it? ”

"No, the humble duty is to rush to the East Palace to report, and ask His Royal Highness King Su to report on his behalf, and ask His Royal Highness the Prince to chase down the murderer, and the humble duty is grateful!"

King Su nodded heavily, turned over and got on the horse that the guard had fallen off, and his feet on the horse's belly kicked and did not run in the direction of the East Palace, but turned to the palace.

Therefore, when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned of this, there was already a rush in the palace, and almost all the ministers of the three grades received a summons from the emperor at the same time and entered the palace completely.

"How can this be true? At the foot of Jinling, I watched the five Aiqing disappear, and Sima Ru sincerely saw that he had contributed to the court for twenty years, and now it is gone! What do you all eat? Let such a tragedy happen right under your noses! What face do you have to come to see me? ”

In the main hall, everyone was silent and lowered their eyes, silently listening to the emperor spilling all his anger on his head, and this fire lasted for more than half an hour before it stopped.

"Qin Zong! Song Jinming! I command you in the Three Days to find out the truth and find out the arsonists! When the emperor said this, Qin Zong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Song Jinming, the chief judge of Dali Temple, both came out and responded loudly, "Yes, the ministers will find out the truth and will not let your lordships die in vain." ”

When the emperor heard this, he snorted coldly, his sharp eyes flashed, and he reminded angrily: "Why did the five Aiqing gather in the thatched hut on the outskirts, you must investigate for me clearly, who they went to make an appointment with, and whose errand they wanted!" ”

The crown prince stood with his eyes down, without saying a word, his eyes were full of fear, although it was a pity that the five ministers were burned to death in a thatched hut by thieves for no reason, but this time when the party gathered to seek power was the emperor hated the most, so no matter what, he would not admit that it was these ministers he had made an appointment.
