Chapter 24: Scorched Corpses on Fire
That night, Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong were invited to the Prince's Mansion for a talk.
This kind of abnormal movement made the people in the mansion who knew Li Heng's prudence puzzled, and even Li Jiao, the king of Guangping, was alarmed, and he hurried to ask what was going on without even bothering to eat dinner.
"When my father saw porcelain, he decided to use these porcelains as soon as the service period expired, feasted the ministers, and planned to personally reward those who made porcelain at the banquet!"
Thinking that when the time comes, he will definitely be the first meritorious hero, and it is also a rare opportunity for him to show his face in front of the ministers since he was implicated by Concubine Wei's brother, showing that he is not forgotten as the prince......
Li Heng was happy for a long time, and then he looked at Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dongdao: "Over the years, the ministers have avoided a certain one, even Changyuan has no choice but to escape into the mountains and wilderness to cultivate, I can't imagine that you still remember me as a prince - very good, very good......"
"Don't dare to hide it from Your Highness!"
Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dongdao: "The reason why the two of us came, even though I was grateful for the kindness of Wei Shaojiang back then, was more because of someone's words!" β
"This person is the young Wei Ming you mentioned earlier?"
Confirming this, Li Heng's eyes flickered for a while before he said, "What did he say?" β
Zeng Fanzhi Wu Dong raised his head and looked directly at Li Heng and said, "He said, the prince, after all, the prince!" β
When Li Heng heard this, he couldn't help but tremble......
Because from these words, he heard incomparable certainty and conviction!
For many years, he has been walking on thin ice, not only the ministers are doubting how long he can be the prince, but even he himself has begun to doubt himself!
But he didn't expect that there would be someone who could say the phrase that the prince is still the prince after all in this situation!
"It actually made the two of them make up their minds with a single word, it seems that this Wei Ming is indeed extraordinary!"
Li Jiao said: "The child thinks that His Highness can see him to distinguish the authenticity!" β
"I'll wait a little longer!"
Li Heng thought for a while and said, "If it's suitable, you can see him first!" β
Li Li nodded in response.
"Your Highness refuses to see it in person?"
Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong, who confirmed this, were full of disappointment, or a little regretful.
After all, the two of them chose to stand on the side of the prince at this time, which can be described as taking a great risk, who knew that the prince didn't even dare to see Wei Ming.
Seeing the expressions of the two and what the two were thinking, Li Jiao knew it.
But at the same time, he also knows very well that his Aya is by no means the kind of timid person, and he never lacks the courage to make a decision on the spot, but now, it is indeed the time to do so!
"You two are loyal, this king has written it down, and I believe His Highness will never forget it!"
After comforting the two of them for a few words, Li Jiaocai said: "Today's affairs, the first thing is to offer porcelain, which needs to be foolproof, understand?" β
Although disappointed, Zeng Fanzhi and Wu Dong also knew that at this moment, there was no room for them to turn back, so they could only nod their heads.
At the same time, inside the field.
To celebrate Wei Ming's achievements, and at the same time, it can be regarded as congratulating him in advance on his smooth entry, and the potters can be said to have spared no expense.
All kinds of chicken, duck and fish, under Wei Ming's palm, even if all kinds of seasonings are a little scarce, they are still full of color and flavor......
In addition, the best daughter Hong, a large bowl of wine and a large piece of meat, is not happy to eat.
Daughter Hong's low-alcohol Shao liquor is simply not worth it for Wei Ming, who has experienced countless baptisms of various high-degree liquors.
But it's a pity that his body doesn't match his soul, and he is still young......
It is also because of this that even if he showed the eighteen kinds of martial arts in the wine field, Wei Ming, who was forced to drink a few bowls in the end, could only force himself to secretly send the jar wine and some leftovers to the porcelain villagers such as Dahu, and then fell on the bed with a puff, and couldn't afford to get drunk.
He had an extremely long dream, in which he found himself like the protagonist of those novels, with the aura of the protagonist, and he could do it without taboos......
When he woke up, Wei Ming was dragged up.
Seeing the burning warehouse in front of him, as well as the officials and servants who were screaming to put out the fire, his head that was originally suffering from a hangover and a splitting headache was directly sobered up!
I finally realized that everything I am doing now is real, and it is not a dream.
In reality, nothing is smooth sailing, and nothing can really be imagined and accomplished!
"It's over, it's over......"
Zeng Fanzhi, Wu Dong, and Xu Jin, who rushed over, hugged a pile of imperial porcelain fragments that Pei Mi, Hu Lijun and others desperately snatched out, and their faces were full of despair.
After all, there are only three days left until the end of the service period!
The news of His Majesty's banquet has also been released!
At that time, if you can't successfully offer porcelain, it will be a crime of deception!
Thinking of this, several people wanted to cry without tears, and said to Pei Mi and the others: "How did we explain to you before?" Let you keep a tight watch, and don't have a half-point spread - but now? β
"Based on the circumstances of the fire, it is almost certain that someone deliberately sabotage!"
Pei Mi and the others gritted their teeth and said: "We have closed the entire battlefield, even if we dig three feet into the ground, we will definitely find out the thief and give an explanation to several officials!" β
Hand over?
At this time, there is a fart!
Thinking that this matter would not only implicate the prince, but also that he and others might fall to the ground, Zeng Fanzhi and the others were full of hatred, and stared at a few people: "The investigation is naturally to be investigated, but you wait for the greedy cup to make a mistake, thinking that if you don't say it, we won't know?" β
"I'll be damned, and I'll be punished then!"
Several people were drenched in cold sweat and expressed their willingness to receive punishment themselves.
Seeing that last night's eating, drinking and merrymaking, it was all started by himself, but whether it was Zeng Fanzhi and others or Pei Mi and others, no one talked about himself from beginning to end, and Wei Ming, who knew that several people were interested in protecting him, was moved, and at the same time, he was entangled!
"Zeng Shaojiang, Wu Jiangcheng ......"
Just when Wei Ming was debating whether to go out and ask for punishment himself, he heard a burst of exclamations from the soldiers who were still rummaging through the ruins of the warehouse: "There are two charred corpses here!" β
"Check quickly to see if there's anyone missing from the farm!"
Pei Mi ordered at the same time as asking people to quickly carry the body out.
However, after a while, someone came to report it, saying that after an investigation, two people were indeed missing in the service field, namely Wei Dasong and Huang Yingyi!
Wei Ming, who was pinching his nose to inspect the corpse, raised his eyebrows when he heard these two names!
"You know them?"
Zeng Fanzhi, who noticed Wei Ming's expression, said.
"It's the same village servant, and he has a little dirt with the fool!"
Wei Ming nodded and said, "It seems that the guy who did it really plans to stew us people in one pot and not let any of them go......"
"Since the two of them have a gap with you, how can you guarantee that they are not risking their lives and deliberately trying to harm you?"
Xu Jin said with an ugly face: "This matter is very important, Xiaolang, you must not speculate, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!" β
"Since I say so, of course there is evidence!"
Wei Ming raised the handkerchief he had used to examine the corpse in his hand and said, "This is enough to prove that they were dead before the warehouse caught fireβthe dead would not come back to life because they had a gap with the foolish people, smash the imperial porcelain and burn the warehouse pit and harm me!" β
