Time flies quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it is the fifteenth day of the first month.

Under the auspices of the government, as soon as the sky was dark, the entire capital became a sea of lights.

This is a project that the queen mother personally grasped, who dares not to care? All the wealthy gentry have also joined in, and for a time the colorful lights are all vibrant, especially in an area centered on the Forbidden City, which is as bright as day.

First, the venue here is big enough, and secondly, the queen can't go with the people to crowd the lanterns below!

Not only the people of the capital, but also the wealthy businessmen and dignitaries from all over the world who got the news also came to the capital with their families to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this prosperous era together.

Before, Ye Xun and Baozhu only thought about being lively, but they didn't expect that the influx of a large number of rich people would also greatly prosper the economy of the capital, which was unexpected by the two of them.

Although the weather is still cold, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the people, and there are all kinds of lantern riddles and fire dragon dances under the imperial city.

In order to avoid accidents, the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division had to send a large number of people to maintain order.

Fortunately, since Ye Xun appeared in the capital, the squishy and underworld forces in the capital have almost disappeared, and there is rarely a phenomenon of bullying men and women, because everyone knows that Ye Gonggong is not a person who is used to children.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner, and Ye Xun's family also came to the palace wall early, talking and laughing while watching the gorgeous lanterns below.

Baozhu grew up in the capital since she was a child, but she has never seen this fantastic scene, and Red Sleeves and the others are even more unbearable, pointing at this and that, and screaming from time to time, fortunately Ye Xun is used to it, otherwise they will have to be mentally ill by them.

I have to say that this year is still a bit too hasty, and next year's lantern show should be held at the same time, and the fireworks show should also be added, so that it is a perfect celebration of prosperity.

But if you can make your own woman happy, Ye Xun is not busy in vain.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps behind him interrupted Ye Xun's interest, and when he looked back, he saw Gao Ren, who was already the head of the West Factory, walking quickly with a solemn face.

As soon as he saw Gao Ren's face, Ye Xun knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly took a few steps back, so as not to affect the interest of the orbs.

Gao Ren walked in front of Ye Xun and bowed down, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, something happened, General Altan killed Lord Zhu, a member of the Ministry of Rites."

Although Gao Ren's voice was soft, it reached Ye Xun's ears word for word, and Ye Xun couldn't help but be shocked.

Killing people is already a big crime, and it also kills people all over the house, even Ye Xun's descendants can't do it!

He immediately asked in a deep voice, "What about the Altans?" ”

"has been imprisoned in the West Factory, and the Zhu family has also been blocked"

Ye Xun nodded, he was quite satisfied with Gao Ren's reaction, but it was too strange for this to happen, although Altan was a Mongolian, he was usually very bold, but he was quite cautious, and he also knew that he was the most unaccustomed to bullying people.

After the Liaodong Army was stationed in the capital, although there were illegal things, Ye Xun never protected anyone.

If it's an ordinary mistake, it's just a big deal, it's a big deal to get a few sticks, but the matter of killing the whole family can be said to have broken the sky, even if Ye Xun wants to show favoritism!

Motioning to Gao Ren to wait, he turned to Baozhu and the others: "There is something to deal with."

Although Baozhu also likes Hua lanterns, his attention is always on Ye Xun, and he knows that something big has happened when he looks at Ye Xun's expression.

Then Yanran said: "Go! Stay safe"

Although the relationship between the two cannot be made public, every move is already deep in each other's hearts, and there is no need to say much, one expression is enough.

Ye Xun nodded, turned around and walked towards the city with Gao Ren, didn't take a few steps, and suddenly turned his head and said, "What is the movement of the garrison outside the city?" ”

Altan has more than 10,000 horses, almost all Mongolian warriors, and now that Altan has an accident, no one dares to guarantee that these soldiers will not make trouble.

Gao Ren has been in Xichang for some days, and he naturally understands the situation in the capital, and when he heard Ye Xun ask, he hurriedly said: "There is no movement yet"

"Immediately order Zhang Qi, Dou Chengwu, and Li Guangrong to be on alert, the soldiers will cancel their vacations, no one shall leave the barracks, and those who violate the order will be engaged in military law."

Gao Ren agreed, then turned around and walked away quickly.

It happened too suddenly, not only the Mongolian soldiers, but also the Han soldiers, who all value the feelings of the same clan, once this matter is used by someone with a heart, it is very likely to cause a big mess.

Ye Xun, who was in a hurry, also regretted in his heart, when he was in the barracks a few days ago, he promised Altan to find Zhu Yuanwailang, but he finally rested for a few days, and secondly, all the yamen were on vacation, so he put this matter down, if he could see this Yuanwailang surnamed Zhu earlier, maybe there would be no accident.

Ye Xun had a feeling that Altan's murder was by no means so simple, when he first learned the news before, he thought that this surnamed Zhu wanted to catch up with him through Altan, but now it seems that it is obviously not like that.

Inside the West Factory, Altan was leaning against the corner of his cell covered in blood, his eyes glazed over, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When he was captured, he did not resist, and at the same time two of his personal soldiers were captured, and the other two personal soldiers took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Hu Jiucheng was like an ant in a hot pot, constantly spinning outside the cell.

"Old man, you are talking! If you don't speak, how can brother help you? If you kill someone and the whole family, even Father-in-law Ye can't protect you! Tell me what the hell is going on and what is the cause? ”

No matter how Hu Jiucheng induced, Altan just refused to say a word, and according to the analysis of the strong alcohol smell on his body, Altan was probably stimulated by alcohol and provoked by anger.

It's just that as Hu Jiucheng himself said, if you don't know the reason, no one can protect Altan.

Although Xichang Fanzi has blocked the Zhu family's left vicinity, this kind of thing can't be hidden at all, and the dead is still a ceremonial official, I'm afraid it won't be long before the city will be full of turmoil.

At this moment, Ye Xun walked in quickly from outside the cell, and his gloomy face seemed to be dripping with water.

After Hu Jiucheng saluted Ye Xun, he made a helpless expression gesture, and he was indeed powerless.

The door of the cell where Altan was held was unlocked, and someone opened the cell door, and Ye Xun stepped in directly.

"Get up for Lao Tzu, do you dare to do it?"

Ye Xun, who was furious, went up and kicked Altan a few times, hating iron but not steel, this is Ye Xun's mood now.

Altan had rough skin and thick flesh, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but these few kicks also completely kicked him awake.

After seeing that it was Ye Xun, he was stunned for a moment, and then pounced at Ye Xun's feet and cried.

"Father-in-law, don't be sorry for you, sorry for you! ...”

"Stand up and make it clear, I know you're not a reckless person, why do you kill people? Don't forget, your old mother is still on her way."

"I—I don't know what's going on, but my brain is still a slurry."

Listening to Altan's words, Ye Xun couldn't help but be stunned...
