Chapter 51: A Prelude to Turning Big Things into Small Ones
Yun Zheng looked worriedly at the few people who were tied up on the ground and sturdy military patrol shops, I really didn't know what to do with them, I received a little favor from others on weekdays, and after drinking two sips of wine, I pushed the newly invented hose cart loaded with fire oil to burn the home of a founding marquis.
When they were caught, they didn't know how to run, and when the Yunfu family general rushed over, they were still trying to pour fire oil into the Yun family's yard.
The military patrol shop is the fire brigade in Tokyo that is responsible for firefighting, these people are very good at firefighting, of course, they are also very good at arson, the three courtyards of the Yun family were burned very thoroughly, very evenly, half of them have collapsed in a short period of time, and the flames are ten zhang high, plus where Di Qing's house is on fire, two huge torches will shine a piece of light in the dark alley outside Xuanwu Gate.
"This kind of thing is called rebellion, and it is to destroy the three clans, don't you know?"
Yun Zheng asked those lifeless guys curiously.
One of the guys who looked like the boss said dryly: "You can't fool me, I just accidentally burned your house, which is considered arson, and I am sorry to be exiled for 3,000 miles, not as strict as you said." β
After saying this, he looked at the monstrous fire of the Yun family, hesitated and said: "Maybe it's a little strict, it's great to pay you this life of mine, and after eighteen years, I will be a good man again." β
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "It's good to accept your fate, I'm afraid that you won't accept your fate, if you just burn my house, it is estimated that it will be enough to lose your own life, but you seem to have burned the Guozijian, Kaifeng Mansion, and the Privy Deputy Envoy's family, according to this situation, I am afraid that the prime minister's family will not be spared, you are also people who eat in the capital, what do you think such an act is not called rebellion?"
Do you really think it's enough to lose your own life? Fool, have you been deceived? Tsk, tsk, for a few copper coins, he buried all the lives of his parents, wives and children, and he can indeed be regarded as a good man with righteousness. Yun admired, admired. β
"You are talking nonsense, we just don't want you to beat the prince of the imperial history, and the Great Song Dynasty has no regularity. That's why I'm going to burn down your house and teach you a lesson, who will rebel. β
Another man from the military patrol shop shouted angrily.
Yun Zheng asked people to help the fool up, pointed to the fire in his house and said to him: "It can't be wrong that this is the Yun family, right?" β
Without waiting for him to answer, he pointed to Di Qing's house and said to him, "It's the Privy Council's deputy envoy there, right?" β
Then he asked the general to pull his head to the south and pointed to the fire there, saying, "It can't be wrong that there is a national eunuch, right?" β
After finishing speaking, he pointed to the reddened sky in the east and said to him: "You are the people of the military patrol shop, and you are most familiar with the terrain of Tokyo on weekdays. I remember that the Kaifeng Mansion seems to be there, and that area is where officials live, and just one Kaifeng Mansion will be red half of the sky when it is on fire?
Haha, it's good that the palace is not on fire, if the palace is on fire. You probably can't escape the charge of punishing the Nine Clans, right? β
Yun Zheng watched the despair on the guy's face getting stronger and stronger, and his two legs were obviously unable to support his body, so he asked the general to let go, and as soon as he let go of his hand, this guy fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Yun Zheng patted the dust on his hands and smiled: "I know you have been deceived." However, our Great Song Dynasty has always been indistinguishable from the master and slave for the crime of treason, if you catch it, you will cut off your head, and cut the grass and eradicate the roots, there is no other way to go, take people's money and eliminate disasters with people, if you do this kind of thing, then you have to bear the consequences. The master doesn't beat you, it's not interesting to beat you, and a person whose whole family is going to be beheaded generally seems to have no bearing, Lao Liao, search all these people's bodies, don't let them take poison and commit suicide. All of them were sent to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which was regarded as giving Lao Shi a face, the military patrol shop belonged to the jurisdiction of the Sanya, and the second eldest of his family was Zhang Jun's top boss, so it was up to him to deal with him.
That's right, Lao Liao. Let Lao Shi rebuild the burned house of the Yun family by the way, and give him the drawings after the lady finishes them. β
The generals carefully searched the clothes of these people, and found a few poison pills from the plackets, and the angry old Liao didn't listen to the cries and lamentations of these people at all, so the generals threw them on the ox cart and sent them to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.
Because the fire in the three courtyards of the Yun family was too big, people couldn't get close to them, and they could still put out the fire, and the military patrol shop came at the end, but the wolf bèi, who was beaten by the people in the alley, fled...... No one dared to let them put out the fire.
When the sky was bright, the fire gradually became smaller, and the servants of the Yun family and the neighbors threw countless water-filled pig urine bubbles into the fire, and the cow urine bubbles completely extinguished the fire.
The housekeeper Lao Liao came forward to invite the neighbors who came to fight the fire to eat and distribute the reward, and Yun Zheng met Di Qing and went to the court in a carriage together.
The market looks chaotic, every pedestrian walking on the street has a bad face, and there are many more people patrolling the market with sticks, which is the first reaction of the common people after they find out that the government is not very reliable.
Perhaps that's what the arsonists are trying to achieve.
"Zhang Jun's whole family should be dead, right?" Di Qing, who closed his eyes and recuperated, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
"I also think that he should be dead, if he doesn't die, some people will be in great trouble." Yun Zheng replied casually, grabbed two hot buns from the food box and handed them to Di Qing.
"In any case, after this fire incident, Tokyo City can finally settle down, let's not push His Majesty too much, although we have a reason, it is not a good thing to force too hard at this time."
"The Yun family didn't plan to ask, just one request, just give the Yun family three more mansions, as for how His Majesty will fall, I just ask, look at it, Kaifeng Mansion burned worse than us!" Yun Zheng lifted the curtain on the car window and pointed outward.
Di Qing glanced at the still smoking Kaifeng Mansion, sighed and continued to eat steamed buns, pitiful, his old wife and son only knew that they were stomping their feet and cursing the arsonist patrol, but they forgot that their old man was going to go to the court early in the morning......
"The buns are good, the millet porridge is good, send a cook to your house tomorrow to learn, and eat this thing in the morning to make your stomach comfortable." Di Qing is a thorough northerner, and he likes pasta very much.
Xuanwumen Alley is not far from the imperial city, and after the two of them had breakfast, the carriage had already stopped outside the palace gate.
Yun Zheng got out of the carriage and immediately became the visual center of all the officials waiting for His Majesty.
Today's Yun Zheng is wearing a scarlet Luo robe skirt, lined with white flowers and Luo Zhongdan, tied with a large belt, and then tied with a leather belt to cover the knees, a square heart curved collar, white silk socks and black leather shoes. There are a lot of jade swords and jade pendants, and there is a Pixiu brocade ribbon on behalf of the three-grade official hanging on the waist, and he wears a badger crown. Two cap wings and a hairpin with a white pen behind the crown. Hand holding a white wat board.
Plus the teenager is very young. The face is like a crown of jade, the body is like a strong pine, and when you stand in the group of military attaches with fat heads and big ears, you will immediately have the effect of standing out from the crowd.
"Hehehe. It is said that to be an official, you have to take advantage of your young talents, Yunhou can only wear this court dress to put on his clothes, and the young man is wearing a scarlet robe, which is really good-looking! β
Yun Zheng saw Pang Ji's voice, stepped forward and saluted: "Pang Gong praised it falsely, the lower officials thought that the early dynasty had begun, why hasn't the palace gate been opened yet?" β
Pang Ji said with a smile: "It was all caused by the fire last night, Your Majesty was furious, the first to enter the palace were the officials of the Three Governments and the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Your Majesty must first figure out the whole story." It's good to think in the long run.
I heard that Yunhou's house walked out of the water last night, can there be serious damage? Are there any casualties? β
Yun Zheng said with a gloomy face: "It's really a strange thing, the people of the military patrol shop poured fire oil into my house with a water dragon, I really don't know who gave them the guts, but the people were not hurt." It was the three courtyards that were swallowed by Zhu Rong. β
Pang Ji sighed and said: "The old man's house also ran away last night, and several people were killed and injured, and an apricot tree that the old man has always liked was also destroyed, so let it go." β
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "The state affairs are thick, and the lower officials don't want to be troublesome, and His Majesty has his own decision in this matter." As long as someone rebuilds the three mansions for the lower officials, I don't think so. β
Pang Jizheng glanced at Yun Zheng and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, the important thing at this time is to find out what happened, a little damage to you and me is really nothing." Thank you Yunhou for understanding the old man's hardships. β
Yun Zheng took Pang Ji's sleeve and walked to the side and whispered: "Who is so bold, now Tokyo City is when the weather is dry and dry, he is not worried about destroying the city by burning the company camp?" This is what it looks like you can't get along with all the people in the Great Song Dynasty.
Xiaguan's family arrested several thieves at the time of the incident, and after preliminary interrogation, it was learned that it was the guards and the pro-army Ma Junsi Du Yu waiting for Zhang Jun's order, and the lower official did not dare to be arbitrary. The thief has been sent to the five cities under the command of Shi Gong, and the prince should know it. β
Pang Ji's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said hatefully: "Do you know who burned the worst last night?" It is this guard pro-army Ma Junsi who is waiting for Zhang Jun's house, and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division reported to the old man this morning, and all the old and young in his family were destroyed in the mouth of Zhu Rong. β
Yun Zheng was silent for a while, nodded and retreated into the group of military attachΓ©s, at this time the palace door was wide open, and the eunuchs shouted "Meet the ministers!" "The civil and military officials consciously lined up and entered the palace according to the size of their official positions and titles.
Yun Zheng was surprised to find that he was ranked fifth among military attachΓ©s by Yushi, although the Yushi's teeth had not grown well, and his speech was still a little leaky, but he arranged the position with an expressionless face, thinking that it would not be bad, Yun Zheng smiled at Yushi, and entered the step flower hall behind the Daqing Palace, this time he didn't go wrong, he walked on the left.
Wang Zhe, the commander of the Japanese army, said to Yun Zheng with a smile: "Yunhou, do you feel good when you walk to the right that day?" β
Everyone else is cloudy, only he has nothing to do with this matter, maybe there will be benefits, naturally he is in a good mood, and he has kung fu to make fun of Yun Zheng.
"Everything else is good, it's just that the imperial history is not beaten! The prince can try it next time. β
"Forget it, this is something that people like you can do in the emperor's heart, if the old man does this, it is a trivial matter to dismiss the official and seize the title, and it is a sin to let the children and grandchildren have no food. After entering the hall for a while, I have to rely on Yunhou to help Lao Shi with a few good words, this time Lao Shi's life is not easy. β
"That's natural, I gave Lao Shi all the thieves I caught last night, he wants to pay me back this favor, if no one helps me repair the house for a while, I will fall on Lao Shi!"
Wang Zhe said: "Naturally, the military patrol shop is under his younger brother's command, and after such a catastrophe, we categorically do not break with him!" β
