King Kang's Mansion has been quiet for a while since the death of the Chu Xi girl, Qin Xiaoshuang guessed that Pei Shu should have known the agitation method he used against Chu Xi, in order not to further make him resent himself, he has been hiding in his yard since that incident and not going out often.

After Chu Xi died, in addition to Qin Xiaoshuang, there was also Sun Xiaoniang in the backyard, Chu Xi was ordered by the prince to be beaten to death, but this thing was too sudden, there was no warning before, Sun Xiaoniang felt strange and inquired from the next person.

Later, I learned that when Miss Chu Xi was ordered to be beaten, Qin Xiaoshuang was also at the scene, and after Chu Xi died, although the prince did not restore Qin Xiaoshuang's identity, he did not punish her, which had to make Sun Xiaoniang think more.

She can't say that she doesn't know what Chu Xi represents, and if she wants to say that her death has nothing to do with Qin Xiaoshuang, Sun Xiaoniang doesn't believe it, but even so, the prince didn't anger Qin Xiaoshuang, so maybe she is likely to regain her favor.

Sun Xiaoniang was very loved by Pei Shu during this time, so naturally she didn't want Qin Xiaoshuang to regain favor, but if she guessed correctly, she couldn't act rashly so as not to cause trouble for herself.

She waited patiently for a while, and after seeing that the prince still didn't make any moves, she was relieved, it seems that this Qin Xiaoshuang is indeed a good means, she killed Chu Xi, and she hasn't burned the fire on herself, such a person will never let her stand up again.

Sun Xiaoniang thinks that she doesn't have the ability to kill people like her and still pick herself out, but it's still okay to stumble on her in life, anyway, the prince doesn't care about her anymore, and it's okay to let her subordinates deduct some essential items for life to slowly torture her, and she can still do it.

The stewards who were greeted naturally stopped treating Qin Xiaoshuang, and the meal sent to her by the kitchen this night changed from four dishes to two, Qin Xiaoshuang looked at it coldly, but in the end she could only secretly pinch her palms and suppress the anger in her heart.

Now that everyone can step on her, if you still don't know the current affairs, I'm afraid that the future will be even more difficult.

The little maid in her room was giving her vegetables on the side, and after a while, her fingers were red, and a piece of condensed milk pumpkin that she was clipping for Qin Xiaoshuang also fell on the table at once.

Qin Xiaoshuang sighed into the palm of his hand, and then said expressionlessly: "Put it down, I'll do it myself." ”

The maid was startled, and hurriedly knelt down to admit her mistake: "The slave is wrong, the slave is just a little stiff in her hands, so she can't hold the chopsticks." ”

The charcoal fire in the house has been too cold to stand it, and Qin Xiaoshuang herself is also uncomfortable, and she can understand that she will not blame her for this situation.

On weekdays, if the sun is out, she will tell the maid to move a chair to bask in the sun outside, if it is night, she will go to bed early, although the cup is not warm, but she can bear it when she sleeps in clothes, but there is always no sun and quilt, just like now.

She had no appetite for food, so she called out to the maid, and then went to her box and took out a little broken silver and handed it to her: "Take the silver to the kitchen and ask them for more charcoal and quilts." ”

The kitchen steward couldn't help but laugh when he saw the maid next to Qin Xiaoshuang coming to buy something, although this Mrs. Sun said that they didn't have to take too much care of Mrs. Qin, but this person brought silver to buy it himself, and it was not a violation of her order.

The people in the kitchen saw that there was money to be made, and the things were quickly sent to Qin Xiaoshuang's small courtyard, but now she has no peaches, and she doesn't dare to use the maids in the new yard.

The silver charcoal qin in the inner room was also ready to do it herself, but where had she done this kind of rough work before, she couldn't touch the door for a long time before lighting the silver carbon, and by the time the room warmed up and she was lying in the new quilt, most of the night had passed.

She rarely had a good night's sleep, and the dream was no longer some terrifying scenes, but she dreamed that she was riding a horse and walking on the grassland, looking at the scenery of her hometown, but the rooster crowed very suddenly A loud noise woke her up from the dream, and she stroked her chest for a long time in the dark before she reacted that it was not a dream, but something really happened.

She was scared, so she stumbled up, put on her coat, and walked to the outer room to call someone to ask what was going on.

The maid who kept vigil replied to her through the door: "The sound came from outside, and we saw that there was still a big light, about northwest, and it had nothing to do with the house, so please continue to sleep for a while, madam." ”

Now that Pei Shu is no longer here, she doesn't have to get up early, she sleeps until three o'clock in the morning every day, thinking that it has nothing to do with the house, so she lies back again.

But there are too many people who can't sleep, and there are many people living in the northwest where there is a loud noise, and this loud noise will make all the people in front and behind and around, and when the pillars of the family go out to check, they know that the loud noise is a fireworks factory that was built not far from their shop.

The power of this explosion was too great, and the houses close to it had already been affected, and from a distance, there were fires everywhere, and when you got closer, you could still hear the cries of the old and the young and the sound of the soldiers coming from the government busy fighting the fire.

"Why did a good fireworks factory explode, and it also affected so many people, who is the person in charge of this fireworks factory, give me an investigation, and if it is found out that it is a human reason, it must be severely punished!" The loud sound naturally also entered the palace, and the emperor thought that there was a thunderstorm in winter, thinking that it was an ominous omen, and later learned that a fireworks factory in the capital had exploded.

It doesn't matter if a factory is blown up, but more than 10 families in the vicinity have all suffered, not counting the destruction of houses and the burning of livestock, and even some people have been injured.

Jing Zhaoyin's Yao Xianhe directly took people to the scene to appease the people and put out the fire after receiving the news, and Yao Xianhe also stayed until the scene stabilized before coming to the court to return to life.

When the emperor saw that he had adjusted clearly and the fire was under control, his face eased a little, and then he directly appointed Yao Xianhe in the hall to be responsible for investigating the matter thoroughly.

What made Pei Yuan strange was that after the emperor gave this order, Uncle Jia Guo, who had been inconspicuous in the court, suddenly took the initiative to ask the emperor: "Your Majesty, this matter is widely implicated, and Lord Yao is afraid that it will be a little difficult for him to do it alone, and the old minister is willing to help Lord Yao share some of it." ”

Pei Yuan remembered the matter of Fu Yin, who was backed by a big tree, which Shen Xiang found out before, and faintly had something to do with this uncle, and intuitively felt that there must be a bad reason for him to do it this time.

He thought about it again and again and retorted: "Lord Yao is mainly responsible for these big and small affairs in Beijing, does Uncle Guo think that Lord Yao is too much to use?" ”

Yao Xianhe was worried that the emperor would think too much, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Now that the people have been arranged, the rest are all trivial matters, but it is not troublesome." ”

Uncle Jia Guo was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed back and replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's just ......"

Pei Yuan no longer gave him a chance to speak, and directly bowed his hand to the emperor and said: "It is best for the people to hand over the arrangements for the explosion of the fireworks factory to Lord Yao, and if the emperor feels that Lord Yao is weak, he should also let the people of Dali Temple go to support, this kind of thing is best arranged for someone to do, as for Uncle Jia, if he is sympathetic to the people who have been affected by the disaster, he might as well donate some money directly." ”

Even if the emperor and Pei Yuan had some festivals, after listening to these words, they couldn't help but give Pei Yuan a thumbs up in their hearts, these royal relatives and relatives have not been less profitable because of such an identity on weekdays, and this is even more abundant for the wealth of the country's uncle's family, and the treasury has spent a lot of money on disaster relief before, if someone can donate generously at this time, it will naturally be a great thing for him.

Before it was found out that the cause of the explosion was caused by the explosion and no one compensated, the court and the central government must first take out some silver as a comfort, and at this time, someone can share one or two with a hoe, and the emperor is naturally happy to see it, and immediately expressed his agreement with Pei Yuan's words.

Besides, this idea was not put forward by himself, and Uncle Guo didn't want to hate it, and the emperor was afraid that he would give birth to some moths if he said it late, so he hurriedly made a decision on this matter: "What King Xian said is very true, this matter is arranged like this, and Uncle Guo doesn't have to spend too much, just do what he can." ”

Uncle Jia Guo could only stand on top of the court and be messy alone, he glanced at Pei Yuan angrily, but the other party didn't give him a look, and the one above was still pretending to cough lightly and waiting for him to agree quickly, now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Uncle Jia Guo can only nod and agree in the end.

He wanted to take this matter on himself, so that he could run it inside, but not only did he not get it, but he also had to lose a lot of money, which was really infuriating and painful.

Jing Zhaoyin is naturally not difficult to deal with this matter, not long after the explosion, he rushed over with people, and when he rushed over after the next dynasty, all the surrounding people had been arranged in a nearby inn, and as for the consumption of these people's food, drink, Lazar, etc., it was naturally counted on Uncle Jia's body.

The impact of this incident is really bad, the people in the capital are watching, and the people of Dali Temple do not dare to delay and slack, and they arrested Zhu Baitong, the owner of the fireworks factory, early.

As for the cause of the explosion in this factory, I also asked a special person from the Ministry of Engineering to check it, and finally found out that it was because the quality of the filling in the artillery was not up to standard, which caused such a big accident.

"Zhu Baitong?" Pei Yuan looked at the name of the person on the letterhead on the desk and muttered to himself.

Lao Xiao on the side has dealt with this Zhu Baitong, and he can also say a sentence or two: "This Boss Zhu has a very good reputation in the business circle, and he is also the most surrounded by the occasional chamber of commerce, and his subordinates have also had contact with him before, he is an honest and honest person, and it seems that his subordinates should not do such a thing." ”

Thinking of Uncle Jia's abnormality in the court, an invisible clue lingered in Pei Yuan's heart, and he pondered for a while before instructing Lao Xiao: "You take someone to check whether this Zhu Baitong and Uncle Jia have any dealings, and after the accident in this fireworks factory, Zhu Baitong was taken to prison, whether this Uncle Jia has gone to visit one or two, these things must be known by this king as soon as possible." ”

Lao Xiao replied, and then took the two secret guards out of the palace, Pei Yuan did not go back to rest, but stayed in the study while waiting for the news, and began to sort out all the deeds of Uncle Jia.

The news was sent back in the second half of the night, and the spies sent a voucher-style thing to Pei Yuan, and to Pei Yuan's surprise, it was actually a transfer agreement signed by Zhu Baitong and Uncle Jia.

In other words, the boss of this fireworks factory is still Zhu Baitong, but the actual family member is already Uncle Jia, and this Zhu Baitong is not even the shopkeeper.

"Where did this come from? Are you sure it's not a fake? Pei Yuan felt that some things had begun to surface, which would explain why Uncle Tongjia would take the initiative to ask for help in the court today.

The spy bowed down and replied: "The secret line that was originally staring at Uncle Jia Guo had already learned that he had dealings with Zhu Baitong, and after we learned the news, we went directly to Zhu Baitong's house, this certificate was sent by Zhu Baitong's family, and when they learned that Zhu Baitong was in prison, they naturally wanted to take Zhu Baitong out of this matter as soon as possible, and after knowing that we were helping to investigate the case, they immediately took it out." ”

Pei Yuan smiled and instructed the spy again: "Then trouble a little more and send this transfer voucher to Jing Zhaoyin's mansion." ”
