Chapter 63: Landslide

As for the vision, it is the seventh day since today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

On the second day of the vision, because the imperial court issued an edict in time to prohibit the discussion of this matter, so far, there have been significantly fewer people to discuss, but there are still people arrested from time to time, but this trick is still very effective.

At noon on this day, the sun hung high and the sky was clear. Although Bianjing City is panicked because of the stars, it is still very lively.

Just after noon.

The earth suddenly began to tremble without warning, and the pedestrians in the streets staggered as if they were drunk.

Then there was a boom, and a loud thunderous sound rang out.

"There's an earthquake, there's an earthquake." Many people began to shout desperately.

At this time, there were too many people on the streets, and the earthquake happened suddenly, so there were a lot of stampedes.

It has been hundreds of years since the establishment of the capital of Bianjing, there has never been an earthquake, this earthquake is the first time it has happened, and the streets are full of panicked shouts, but the foundations of the houses in Bianjing City are quite solid, and there are not many collapses.

The earthquake lasted only one cup of tea before it stopped

When Lin Xin heard the first loud bang, he jumped on the branch and looked in the direction where the sound came from to see what was going on.

I saw a towering giant peak more than ten miles away from Bianjing City, and for some reason, it collapsed violently.

After the earthquake stopped, the imperial court was not slow to respond to such emergencies, and soon teams of officers and soldiers began to appear all over Bianjing, carrying the injured people together, and then having a special doctor to treat their wounds.

Gradually, everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the soldiers were well-trained and handled quickly and efficiently. Because of the large number of people dispatched, basically the matter was handled in one afternoon. And because I caught a lot of ruffians and the like some time ago, there were no people who took advantage of the chaos to grab things.

"How's it going here?" A burly commander in purple gold armor asked.

"Back to the captain, at present, there are three hundred and seven injured people and two dead on the West Gate, there is no record of the collapse of the house for the time being, and the injured have been treated by doctors, and I believe that the number will be counted in several other places soon." A soldier replied.

"Okay, implement this matter as soon as possible, I want to report it to the emperor as soon as possible, and about the deceased this time, the imperial court has allocated the consolation money in advance, and you only need the family to register with you to receive it." The man in purple gold armor said.

"Subordinates obey." After receiving the order, the soldier bowed down and began to get busy.

In the middle of the night, although the streets are still brightly lit, there is a faint atmosphere of sadness, like a thin layer, permeating the entire Bianjing City.

In the study of the six princes, at this moment, seven or eight people in different costumes have gathered together, and everyone is listening carefully to the report of the person below.

“..... A total of 1,242 people were injured in Bianjing City, 13 people died, and the houses collapsed in three places, and the place where the accident occurred was Jiuyou Mountain, which was more than ten miles away from here, and Jiuyou Mountain collapsed suddenly, but no traces of man-made people were found, and gunpowder or the like was not found. ”

"Okay, you can collect this information in such a short time, you have worked hard, go down and rest first." The sixth prince said after listening.

"Yes, the subordinates retired."

"What do you think about this?" The sixth prince froze and said with a frown.

"Prince, according to the views of his subordinates, this matter must be inseparable from the three princes, since the last time he was punished by the emperor, Bianjing has been full of strange things, first the vision of the sky, and then the collapse of the Nine Mountains for no reason, you know, the Nine Mountains are the places where the emperors of the past dynasties prayed, according to a generation of feng shui masters, Mr. Yun Yi said, the Nine Mountains are the place to suppress a country's luck, is the foundation of the country, usually guarded by the forbidden army, this time it suddenly collapsed, there was no sign in advance, nine times out of ten it was man-made, and now the prince is in power, the three princes were punished and grounded, if these things are connected by people with intentions, it will be very unfavorable to you, the prince. An old man with gray hair but still in good spirits thought about it carefully and said.

"Old Su is reasonable, but recently, my third emperor brother has been imprisoned in the mansion, and his power has not made any overt moves, even if he knows that this matter is related to him, there is nothing he can do." The third prince had a calm face, and the corners of his mouth pursed cold lines.

"We can't always be passive on defense, we must make some counterattacks, and try to eliminate the adverse effects of these things on the prince. And the matter of Jiuyou Mountain also needs to be thoroughly investigated, if there is a result, it is the best, after all, this matter is very troublesome. Another man in full armor said.

"This is natural, my father has secretly issued an edict, ordering me to have full authority to investigate this matter, and give the cold iron order, and most of the secret guards in Bianjing can be dispatched to assist in investigating this matter." The sixth prince looked at him gloomily, and then said slowly.

"Cold Iron Order! It seems that the emperor has begun to fully respect the prince, and with this order in hand, at least many things have gone much smoother. Congratulations to the prince first. ”

The people present were all surprised, although they already knew that the emperor had re-valued the six princes, but they didn't expect that even the cold iron order could be given, with this token, it was quite the same as holding half a tiger talisman in his hand, and most of the soldiers and horses of Chu Yue Kingdom could be mobilized at will, but in the current situation, the value of the cold iron order was still above the tiger talisman, at least in Bianjing, there was basically no obstacle.

"Lord, now that we are gaining momentum, and although the third prince does not dare to confront us on the surface, he is constantly moving in secret, he must be brewing some big conspiracy, and these recent things should only be used to disrupt our vision, we can't help but be vigilant, we must find out the other party's intentions, so as not to act passively." This man named Su Lao suggested again.

"Su Lao is right, at this time, I have already sent someone to investigate, but the other party's precautions are too strict, and I haven't found any favorable information yet, after all, my third emperor brother has been operating a force for a long time, and it is impossible to be easily pulled off the horse, it is normal to be able to do something secret, and leave no traces, but as long as we try our best to do a good job during this time, when this year is over, the situation will be much better next year, I hope you will stick to it." The sixth prince's eyes condensed and said slowly.

"We will do our best to assist and never disappoint the expectations of the prince." The others seemed to think of the rumors and returned with bright eyes.

"Okay, then let's act according to the plan, Escort Zhang, I will mobilize 600 Jinyi Guards later, under your command, and immediately go to Jiuyou Mountain to continue to investigate the collapse of the mountain, Brother Li, you are resourceful and thoughtful, you and Escort Zhang will go together." After the sixth prince finished speaking, he pointed to the black-shirted man next to him who had been pondering.

"Yes, subordinates obey orders." The two said in unison.

"Elder Su, there are a lot of rumors in Bianjing now, I hope you can come forward in person to appease the families of the victims, this matter may be more difficult, and it will trouble you." The sixth prince thought for a long time before he spoke again.

"It is the duty of the old minister to do something for the prince, so how hard it is." The old man said disapprerovingly.

"Okay, the rest of the people are secretly collecting evidence of the corruption and perversion of the law in recent years by Zhang Wenjin, the head of the military department, and Huang Youjia of the Ministry of Industry. The sixth prince said with confidence.

"Then I'll retire first." After hearing this, these people naturally wanted to implement this time as soon as possible

"Well, stand down." The Sixth Prince nodded.
