The fire in Xingluocang was so spectacular that even Luodu City, thirty miles away, saw the night sky in the east being reflected red.

The officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison, who watched the celestial phenomena at night, discovered this strange scene and began to discuss enthusiastically, what kind of celestial phenomenon is this, and what kind of omen is it?

"The night sky is red, a great omen, is it time to raise a sword?" A Qin Tianjian official whispered.

"No, no, no, I see this as a red light and purple gas, a good omen for angry bullfighting, and a good omen, I am going to prosper the country!"

"You're not right......"

A group of officials from the Qin Tianjian quarreled until dawn, but they did not come up with a result. It's good to worry about Jiang Jian Zheng and don't know what to do...... Today happens to be the court meeting, and Qin Tianjian must report last night's celestial phenomena, but what should I say in order to please His Majesty?

It wasn't until he got off the sedan chair and saw Ying Tianmen that he made up his mind to repeat his old skills, report good news but not bad news, and pick up good gifts to the saint.

After making up his mind, Jiang Jianzheng hurriedly walked to his shift and stood still. At this time, the cars of several dukes had arrived, and all the officials were silent and solemn, lining up to greet the old lady and his party.

Xiahouba's face turned a little blue, and instead of greeting the officials as usual, he walked straight to the position of the head of the court class and stood still. Seeing this, the rest of the fathers didn't talk much, and stood still behind Xiahouba.

。

Jingyang bell rings, hundreds of officials and fish enter the hall, in the golden palace to worship the Emperor Xuan, then set up in shifts.

"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat." Du Hui sang loudly.

Qin Tianjian was immediately out of work, and said in a loud voice: "The minister has a book. "Jiang Jianzheng doesn't want to steal the limelight, but the emperor is the Son of Heaven, so naturally nothing in this world can be greater than the will of heaven. As soon as there is a celestial phenomenon, Qin Tianjian must be the first to report and explain the meaning of God to the emperor and hundreds of officials, and then it is the turn of the courtiers to report on the affairs of the world......

"Speak." The first emperor seemed to be a little absent-minded, and sat on the imperial couch with a smile.

"Your Majesty, last night the minister watched the sky at night, and suddenly saw a red light and purple gas in the eastern night sky, and went straight to the bullfight......

Jiang Jian was spitting around, and suddenly heard the hundred officials behind him sneering and laughing. There seems to be something about Jicola, so they can't help but lose their manners.

Fortunately, the initial emperor also patronized Le, and he had no time to care about the performance of hundreds of officials. Realizing that he was out of shape, he coughed dryly and whispered, "Silence! ”

Baiguan hurriedly lowered his head and stopped his voice, but the smile on his face became thicker.

Jiang Jian was confused, and he was stunned and didn't know whether to continue talking.

"The widow knows, you can step down." The initial emperor waved his hand and relieved Jiang Jianzheng.

Jiang Jian was dizzily retreating to the court, and when he was full of confusion, he saw Shangshu Ling Cui Yan slowly walking out of the court, and reported to the emperor in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, the Taicang order came to report, last night Xingluocang went to the water, the fire was difficult to extinguish by the wind, and it was not extinguished before the court......"

Jiang Jianzheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought that Xingluocang was just east of Luodu, and that damn red light was simply formed by the fire of Xingluocang reflected in the sky!

Pity yourself for not knowing what to do, all the nonsense, no wonder the officials laughed out loud......

Eunuch Jiang was in a hurry, and fainted with a bang, and the eunuchs hurriedly carried him out for treatment.

。

In the Golden Palace, the Initial Emperor heard Du Hui's report last night that Xingluocang seemed to be on fire. He also climbed the tower to look at the castle tower with great interest, but unfortunately he saw nothing but the red light. But this did not affect the initial emperor's good mood, he knew that this must be a good thing that Lu Yun's kid had done.

The initial emperor was actually worried that Lu Yun and his son would not be able to survive this hurdle, but he didn't expect Lu Yun to be so bold that he dared to burn down Xingluocang, and there was no way to verify!

But after being happy for a while, the initial emperor began to grow his head again. It was simple for Lu Yun to burn Xingluocang, but how to wipe his ass became a troublesome matter. As a disaster relief envoy, Lu Xin is fully responsible for disaster relief matters, and Xingluocang is of course under his control. Now that Xingluocang has been destroyed by fire, Lu Xin can't escape anyway.

The initial emperor thought about it for a night, but he didn't come up with a way to exonerate Lu Xin. That's why when I went to court, I was not in good spirits, and I could only take one step at a time......

When the Jiang eunuch was carried down, order was restored in the court. The first emperor asked knowingly: "What about the loss, how many people have been injured?" ”

"Because of the suddenness of the incident, there was no time for a detailed investigation." Cui Yan hurriedly replied: "The old minister has instructed the two officials of the household department and the criminal department to go out of the city in a hanging basket in the middle of the night, and rush to Xingluocang as soon as possible, command the firefighting, and find out the loss...... Around this time, it should be time to return to Beijing with the first report. ”

"Hmm." The Initial Emperor nodded and said, "Then let's discuss something else first, and wait for the result over there." ”

"Yes." Cui Yan stepped back in response. Du Hui also whispered to the little eunuch to hurry up and go to Yingtianmen to guard it, and bring it to the palace as soon as there is news.

But the old lady couldn't wait, he went out of class with a black face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister received a secret report that Lu Xin secretly sold disaster relief food and filled his own pockets, I suspect that this fire was deliberately set by him in order to cover up the crime!" ”

"Uh......" The Initial Emperor looked at Lu Shang, who was rarely in the court, and asked, "Lu Aiqing, what do you say?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty......" Lu Shang also heard that Xingluocang was on fire in the middle of the night, and it was a matter of Lu Xin, of course he couldn't stand by and watch. Taishi's anger is understandable, but Lu Xin has been away from Beijing for almost half a month, and now he should be supervising in the Bianzhou area, no matter how this fire is calculated, it can't be counted on his head, right? ”

"He deliberately created evidence of an alibi." Xiahou Ba sneered: "Could it be that if you Lu Shang want to kill someone, do you still need to do it yourself?" He could have instructed others to do it. ”

"This is all the old lady's speculation, what is going on, there is still a need for a thorough investigation." Lu Shang was a little weak and said: "If it is really Lu Xin's doing, the old man will never protect him." But if it weren't for Lu Xin's responsibility, we wouldn't admit it. ”

"Hmph, how could he get out of it?" Xiahou Ba looked at Lu Shang coldly and said: "Xingluo Cang is Taicang, and the grain in the warehouse is the rations of the disaster victims. No matter how much the loss is this time, and what caused the fire, Lu Xin cannot escape the blame for the disaster relief. After a pause, he swept the Manchu Dynasty civil and military with a cold gaze, and said word by word:

"This time, the old man will definitely not let him get away with it!"

After speaking, he turned to the initial emperor and hugged his fists and said: "Please give an order to Your Majesty, immediately remove this fang leather from the official position, and lock it to the case!" ”

"Hey, don't be in a hurry to shout and kill, old lady......" The initial emperor glanced outside the palace gate, pointed to Sun Quan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department who was rushing over, and said: "Oh, the news is coming, let's listen to what he has to say first, and then talk about other things." ”

"Hmph......" Xiahou Ba snorted and reluctantly retreated. In his heart, he was disdainful of the original emperor boss, and secretly said that if you can drag it out for a while, can you drag it out for a lifetime?
