Chapter 155: The Fire
It's spring again, and the capital, which has been silent for nearly a year, has once again set off waves before everyone can react.
In King Yi's mansion, King Yi's eyes were shining with excitement, and his usual hearty expression was gone, and he became a little gloomy.
"You did a good job, thanks to you this time, there will be a good reward"
The young man in the same room smiled slightly, and his eyes were full of pride.
"The prince can rest assured, this matter will be done"
King Yi laughed, and did not doubt the ability of the person in front of him, because before contact, King Yi had already found out the deeds of this person and this person.
"But..."
"I hope the prince can get the things I want next."
King Yi looked at the person in front of him very sincerely, "Don't worry, it's hard for you to get this thing, but for this king, it's just a convenient thing."
"Then thank you so much, Lord Wang"
The night and silence of the capital, except for the occasional sound of watching, there is hardly any movement, of course, some places for pleasure are certainly different.
It was such a silent night, and there seemed to be a vision in the sky, overflowing the red glow that shone not far from the south gate of the capital.
"What's wrong?"
"Is it Xiangrui?"
...
Some people who noticed the situation all kinds of speculations came out, until the watchman shouted, 'It's gone', which woke up many people in their sleep in the capital for a while.
The sound of the gong was deafening, and people kept running towards Nancheng, and the footsteps were clattering.
Early the next morning, the emperor got up and received the news that if Gao Jin hadn't stopped him, the emperor wouldn't have been able to sleep peacefully last night.
The corners of the emperor's eyes jumped, looking at the music in front of him, and the anger in his heart went straight up.
Just last night. The family of the Tobe Squire was all killed, and now the Tobe Squire's mansion is almost nothing burned to the ground, except for a charred corpse. None of them escaped.
The emperor is not a fool, such a fire, of course, is fatal, but how can it be that all the people are gone, okay. Even if you go to bed early, but you are the master, what about the subordinates, it is difficult to go to sleep.
This matter, as anyone with a bit of a brain knows, is certainly not simple.
"Your Majesty, Lord Shi died unjustly, you have to make the decision for Lord Shi," said an official who usually walked not far from the household servant, and was a little choked up as he spoke.
Everyone looked at this man in amazement. I didn't want to have a good relationship with the Tobe squire!
Then a few more people stood up and asked the emperor to investigate thoroughly, and then officials such as the Criminal Department spoke one after another, after all, this matter was unusual at a glance, and it was definitely not an accident.
Even if no one asks for this matter, the emperor will also investigate it strictly, and at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are still many officials living at the south gate, so it is natural to find out.
"The matter was handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation. "The emperor has ordered."
The waiter of the criminal department hurriedly accepted the order, and his expression was very positive, which made the emperor feel a lot more comfortable, and felt that the waiter of the criminal department was quite competent.
But the emperor didn't know. The waiter of the criminal department is scolding his mother in his heart at the moment, this is simply asking for trouble for himself.
This incident happened very suddenly, but the squire of the criminal department sensitively thought of an incident a few days ago, this squire of the household department had taken a book a few days ago, and he was a minister in the court, and he successfully pulled him off the horse.
The squire of the criminal department has a clear heart. The minister who was pulled down is a proper ******, even if he is not the prince's henchman, but he is still on the surface.
This suddenly happened again, so how could the waiter of the criminal department not scold his mother.
"Yes, Weichen took the order" No matter what the squire of the Criminal Department thinks, he can only explain it first.
Rong Le also heard about it in the backyard, and felt a little cruel for a while, in the house of the household servant, there were dozens of people.
I still remember that a few days ago, the wife of the head of the household came to Chengye during the day, and personally congratulated herself, but I didn't expect that the person would be gone.
"Could it be that you have been drugged?" Rong Le guessed, otherwise why no one escaped.
"No, the slave heard that someone around heard the call for help, but the fire was too big, so it couldn't save people in time" Xia Chun denied Rong Le's idea.
"Call for help?" Rong Le felt even more strange, since he had the strength to call for help, why didn't so many people think of a way to escape.
Xia Chunshen mysteriously leaned into Rong Le's ear, "Master, the slave maid also heard about it, it seems that someone heard it, it was the prince's hand, begging His Royal Highness the prince to let them go"
Not to mention Rong Le's surprise when he heard this, Yan Han and Xia Cao looked at Xia Chun speechlessly, since they made it look like they were talking in a low voice, they really whispered.
Rong Le was shocked, and found that things were stricter than he thought, this was to use dozens of lives to pull the prince into the water.
This kind of news, Xia Chun can hear about it, and others can also hear it, and it is estimated that it has spread all over the outside.
As Rong Le thought, but in one day, the large and small places in the capital are spreading, the prince is angry with the household servant, this is revenge, for a while, everyone in the capital is in danger, for fear of being involved, of course, these people who are afraid are all related to the imperial court.
A fire burns not only people, but also countless people's hearts.
"Hehe, eldest brother of the prince, I don't know if you like your brother's gift or not, you took great pains to let this king and the third brother fight, but you want to take advantage of the fisherman, and you think it's too beautiful" King Yi said to himself, with an excited smile on his face.
King Yi is not a fool, he deliberately played with the prince before, and only then did he show his claws.
Among the princes, only the crown prince and Duanwang are the most threatening, although Helian Xuan's threat is also great, seeing that King Yi has the advantage of being older, and at this time, King Duan has been more or less affected because of the Yao family's affairs, so King Yi will target the prince.
"Lord, since the matter has been completed, I don't know what is going on..."The young man said.
King Yi looked at the man, "At this time, the city defense is aggravated, and the palace is the same, although this king can easily obtain it, but in order to avoid suspicion, please wait a few days." Of course, for three days at most, the king will bring it for you."
"Okay, then I'll stay here for three more days, but the prince still tries to be as fast as possible" The man said understandingly, if there is something missing in the palace at this time, it will inevitably be found out what is related, and King Yi also has the possibility of leaking, so it is not good for King Yi and himself.
It's just that I'm still worried in my heart, these royal people are not simple, after a long time, if they don't run away in time, they will be miserable, of course, the premise is to find out their own means first. (To be continued.) )
