Chapter 96: Beating the Rabbit with Grass
Fortunately, Feng'er, who knows Fengyi Palace well, leads the way in front, otherwise, Li Zhongyi will break everywhere, and it is very likely that he will never be able to get out again.
Because the smoke is so thick, many times the smoke has to be very close to the ground to be able to find the direction, and the degree inevitably slows down.
The wetness in the palm of his hand became less and less, Li Zhongyi was anxious, and simply grabbed the back collar of Feng'er with one hand, dragged her upper body off the ground, and shouted loudly: "You just lie on your stomach and admit it, and I will drag you over." ”
In times of crisis, you can only follow power. Fortunately, Li Zhongyi trained with the township army, and his body rose greatly.
Due to the division of labor and cooperation, the quilt was carried by Li Zhongyi with one hand, and Feng'er only needed to get close to the ground to recognize the way, and their travel speed up a lot.
Finally, Li Zhongyi, under the leadership of Hao'er, found Mrs. Hua Rui's bedroom.
Feng'er leaned close to the ground and shouted out Mrs. Hua Rui's nickname: "Mei Niangzi, Mei Niangzi, where are you?" After shouting anxiously again and again, he never heard Madame Blossom's reply.
Feng'er was in a hurry, broke free of Li Zhongyi's big hand, ran out from under the quilt, and pounced on the side of the bed according to her familiar position.
Li Zhongyi didn't dare to be so impulsive as Feng'er, he still held the quilt that was gradually driing, squatted down, and touched it all the way in the direction of the sound wave of Feng'er's shouting.
When Li Zhongyi touched the side of the bed, he saw that Feng'er was holding the unconscious Mrs. Hua Rui, and dragged her out of the bed with all her might.
"Cough, cough ......" Li Zhongyi was so smoked by the sudden smoke that he coughed and couldn't stop coughing, and tears flowed down.
It was easy to stop coughing, and Li Zhongyi stretched out two hands at the same time, one hand to touch Mrs. Hua Rui's mouth and nose, and the other hand to fumble to hold her wrist vein.
Well, it's okay, the breath is still there, and I didn't smoke to death!
Well, it's good that the pulse is still there, what a blessing!
With such a big fire, the roof burned through, and in Mrs. Blossom's bedroom, the fire had not even burned to the bed, but the smoke was so large that people couldn't open their eyes.
Li Zhongyi put the half-dried quilt on his head, quickly stretched out his arm, and took Mrs. Hua Rui into his arms, "We must leave here immediately......
Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a thick piece of wood suddenly fall from the beam, which happened to hit the big bed.
For a while, sparks splashed everywhere, and the flames suddenly flared up, which was terrifying.
"Ah, it's so dangerous, if it's half a step late, Mei Niangzi she, she ......" Feng'er was young after all, and couldn't help blurting out.
"Let's go." In Li Zhongyi's arms, there is now an unconscious Mrs. Hua Rui, and it is much more troublesome to act than just now.
However, after Li Zhongyi walked a few steps, he felt that he was running for his life with Mrs. Hua Rui in his arms, which was really in the way, and he couldn't go fast at all.
At the moment of crisis, Li Zhongyi couldn't care so much, so he simply put Mrs. Hua Rui's soft and boneless fragrant body on his shoulders, hugged her legs, and quickly retreated.
When Li Zhongyi was running in small steps, Mrs. Hua Rui, who was hanging upside down on his shoulder, had her towering breasts just on his back.
Alas, it's really bad, please, don't take it, okay?
It was so itchy that Li Zhongyi couldn't help it, so he took the time to free his right hand and touched it heavily on Mrs. Hua Rui's round snow buttocks.
Well, this, even if Lao Tzu sacrificed his life to save you, a little benefit.
Fortunately, Feng'er was familiar with the terrain and led Li Zhongyi to the gate of the palace.
At the moment when Feng'er and Li Zhongyi rushed out of the fire cave, the main beam of the Fengyi Hall suddenly collapsed, making a frightening deafening sound.
It's so dangerous, I'm almost going to lose my life for the woman on my shoulder!
After Li Zhongyi took a long breath of fresh air, his mind suddenly cleared, and he hurriedly stuffed Mrs. Hua Rui, who was hanging on his shoulder, into Feng'er's arms.
If Li Zhongyi openly appeared in front of everyone with the concubine who was only wearing a belly pocket, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to wash away the stigma of having an affair with the imperial concubine.
Hehe, the princess's small advantage must be taken, but it should be secretly dropped, and the gun should not be shot.
Qin Degui anxiously led someone to greet him, and as soon as Li Zhongyi saw a few palace maids standing stupidly, he became angry in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Why don't you hurry up, hurry up, and help Feng'er carry the concubine to the side hall?" ”
A few palace maids who had been stunned saw that Li Zhongyi was angry, so they hurriedly ran over and carried Mrs. Hua Rui into the side hall with their hands and feet.
Li Zhongyi instructed Qin Degui and others to continue to pour water on various utensils to put out the fire. Although he knew that the entire Fengyi Hall had been burned out, the surface work had to continue to be done, so as not to fall into the hands of others.
Worried that Mrs. Hua Rui would be tossed out of the smoke, Li Zhongyi rushed to the side hall after handing over Qin Degui a little.
Seeing that Li Zhongyi quickly stepped into the hall, Feng'er didn't know what to think, and actually had a tacit understanding to drive all the palace maids far away.
"How's the concubine doing?" Li Zhongyi was easily impulsive, and fished out Mrs. Hua Rui from the fire, if there are three long and two short here, it will be a waste of work.
"I've been unconscious." With a crying voice, she pointed at Mrs. Hua Rui, who was lying motionless on the bed.
Li Zhongyi walked to the side of the bed, but saw that Mrs. Hua Rui's body was covered with a quilt, covering her delicate and charming **.
"Go get a basin of water." Li Zhongyi checked Mrs. Hua Rui's pulse, and felt that her breathing was very weak, and finally pressed the carotid artery, he felt that she should be asleep, swoken by the thick smoke.
Feng'er went out and gave an order, and soon, he brought back a basin of cold water.
Li Zhongyi asked Feng'er to help Mrs. Hua Rui up, and then pressed her mouth and nose into the cold water.
"Cough, cough, cough," Lady Blossom choked on cold water from her nose, and coughed incessantly.
"You...... Why are you here? You go, you go, I want you to go......"
What Li Zhongyi never dreamed of was that the first thing Mrs. Hua Rui did after she woke up was hysterically to drive him out.
"Wechen retired." Li Zhongyi's heart was extremely angry, he didn't even salute, and strode out of the side hall without looking back.
Before returning to the main hall, the more Li Zhongyi thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.
In order to save you, Lao Tzu stupidly rushed into the fire, almost lost his life, you damn it, don't say thank you, you don't give half a face, just drive Lao Tzu away, I'm bah.
Three fires broke out in the palace at the same time, and the matter of burning down the three palaces spread throughout Chengdu Mansion in the blink of an eye.
According to the investigation after the fact, it should have been caused by dry weather, not arson.
This is a happy conclusion, and the difference between fire and arson is one word, but the consequences are very different.
Walking water in the palace is a common thing, and in the past, even the Taiji Palace was burned to a fine light.
Meng Chang also felt that no one dared to set fire to the first three places in the palace at the same time, but a lot of treasures in the palace were burned, especially his bedroom, and the losses were even heavier.
As a result, the three main "leaders" of Dianzhong Province, including Wei Tingyue, were all dismissed from their posts and fined for three years because of their negligence.
As for dozens of subordinates such as Dianzhongcheng, who was specifically responsible for fire prevention, they were all imprisoned, and their homes were also copied by Meng Chang.
According to Li Zhongyi's opinion, this is to demolish the east wall of the courtiers and use it to subsidize the west wall of Meng Chang's great loss.
How much is a fine of three years? For Li Zhongyi, the current landlord, it is simply not worth mentioning.
After the three palaces were burned down, the reconstruction work began immediately, and Wei Tingyue and Li Zhongyi became busy.
The last time the Taiye Pool was expanded, Meng Rencao, who had tasted the sweetness, came to Li Zhongyi through Meng Renyi again.
"In front of the blameless brother, I won't say those nonsense, Jin Si Nanmu, I still have a lot of them, and I can't hold the thickest pair of hands." Meng Rencao's appetite was quite large, and it seemed that he wanted to swallow the wood of the entire Taiji Palace's reconstruction in one gulp.
Li Zhongyi glanced at Meng Renyi, who had been smiling and silent, and he basically knew in his heart that Meng Rencao was extravagant and overexpensive, and the cost was too great, so he couldn't completely ignore the reconstruction project, but he couldn't give too much.
Because, Meng Rencao had a very bad problem, and he couldn't hide many words in his heart.
Last time they cooperated, Li Zhongyi didn't put a big son in his pocket, he was not afraid of crooked shadows, even if some gossip came out, he didn't have anything to fear.
The Taiji Palace rebuilt this time is equivalent to the Daming Palace in the Tang Dynasty. This Taiji Palace is not only Meng Chang's dormitory, but also the place where the daily small-scale politics are asked, and the amount of work is large and the importance is high, which can be imagined.
"Don't hide it from the prince of the county, this time the reconstruction of Taiji Palace, it is difficult to make decisions alone." Li Zhongyi is still an old habit, even if he can make a decision, he has to drag it and push it, which makes Meng Rencao think it is very difficult.
Meng Rencao grinned and said, "No blame, brother, Xiao Wang has already inquired clearly, the supervision of Taiji Palace belongs to your name, brother." ”
This time to rebuild the three major halls, Wei Tingyue took over the two halls alone, but handed over the largest project to Li Zhongyi.
Nothing to be courteous and either treacherous or thief has always been the officialdom norm that Li Zhongyi believes in.
With Wei Tingyue's greedy personality, I am afraid that he wants to dig a pit for Li Zhongyi again, waiting for Li Zhongyi to withstand the temptation of money and automatically jump into the deadly trap.
In fact, Li Zhongyi had already guessed that Meng Rencao was greedy for money and would come to him to pull the project.
Li Zhongyi didn't care about the money on the project, but he cared about an opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time, and the introduction was in Meng Rencao's hands.
Because, a few days ago, Meng Rencao got an envoy and took up the post of Zongzheng Siqing, in charge of the genealogy of the royal family of the Great Shu Kingdom and the imperial tomb.
However, Li Zhongyi's big enemy "Gao Xinhe", because of his distant niece Gao Ronghua in the palace, helped blow the pillow wind, although he was demoted to the official, he was still alive, and he was the current "Heling" Lingtai Cheng (the official who manages the emperor's cemetery) from Qipin.
"Heling" is Meng Chang's father, the imperial tomb of Meng Zhixiang, the ancestor of Shu. After Gao Xinhe was demoted there, it was too far away from the officialdom in Chengdu for Li Zhongyi to reach him.
Now, Meng Rencao, who is greedy for money, has become Zongzheng Siqing, and he happens to be Gao Xinhe's top boss, and the opportunity that Li Zhongyi has been waiting for for a long time has finally come.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Li Zhongyi pretended to be joking and said: "King of the county, I heard that the messenger of Heling is very oily? ”
When Meng Rencao heard this, he immediately became angry, scolded and said: "The officials of Heling should be killed, these guys even dare to be greedy for the incense money of their father's mausoleum." ”
"And this kind of thing? Sixth brother, you can't spare those dogs. Meng Renyi, who didn't know the inside story, added to the fire with righteous indignation.
Meng Renyi is also Meng Zhixiang's own son, and the incense money from his father's mausoleum is actually greedy for a lot, how can he not be angry?
Li Zhongyi curled the corners of his mouth slightly, Wang Dahu is indeed very methodical, and he adopted the method of silver money and women, and settled an old official of "Heling" in three or two clicks, and learned a lot of inside stories from his mouth.
The news that Meng Rencao knew was actually spread by Wang Dahu, the purpose was to attract Meng Rencao's attention.
Now, Li Zhongyi has added firewood, Meng Renyi has added some oil, and Meng Rencao's fire has been ignited, it depends on how it evolves in the future.
Sure enough, within ten days, Meng Chang issued an edict to execute all the thieves who had embezzled the "Heling" incense money, including Gao Xinhe.
