The fourth prince Zhao Shijiao, lying in his own house, holding a palm-like size of a small teapot in one hand, the color of the teapot is warm, it looks like warm jade, the surface is covered with a layer of brilliance, it is not ordinary at a glance, this teapot is called Jade Pot Chun, it is made by Shi Dachun, a famous craftsman in the Central Plains in the previous generation, and it is a masterpiece handed down in Shi Dachun's posthumous works, which has always been hidden in the palace of King An.

Zhao Shijiao still vaguely remembers that when he saw this teapot when he was a child, he loved it very much, and begged his father Lao An Wang many times, but unfortunately Lao An Wang didn't like his son, just a plaything, not only didn't give it, but even reprimanded him for it.

I don't know how long it has been since these old things, but they will still make Zhao Shijiao remember from time to time, now that annoying old immortal is dead, and the countless rare treasures in the palace can no longer refuse him, and he can take them at will.

Hum! The old immortal, I don't like to give birth to so many sons, I know that I love your so-called talented daughter, but it's a pity that your daughter does have some talent, but what can she do, she is not beaten back to her original form by the sons with a little trickery.

Can she be a woman who can take over the country you left behind?

I don't know how long this kind of heart knot has been hidden in Zhao Shijiao's heart, and now that King An is dead, he still can't let go of it for a long time.

Zhao Jieyu! I know you haven't given up yet, but it's okay, that's good, brother, I just want to see what else you can do as a woman.

Zhao Shijiao stretched his waist, slowly got up from the bed and walked to the desk in the study to write something. The inkstone, the paperweight, the lake pen, and a side of rice paper were spread out, but at this time his head was empty, and he couldn't remember what he wanted to write. While he was thinking, outside the study, his own scholar led a person into the hurry.

"Master, master!" Although Zhao Shijiao is a prince, he does not have any title, and the subordinates can only call him master, "There was news just now, there is a big incident in the city again!" ”

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shijiao's train of thought was interrupted, and Thunder was furious,

Seeing that Zhao Shijiao was angry, although the people who came to report the news were afraid, they couldn't help but report it.

"It's Lu Xuan, the lord of the Governor's Mansion, Viscount Lu, someone in the yamen just came to report that Viscount Lu's house was killed last night and caught fire, and all the people in the mansion were buried in the fire!"

"Huh? What the! ”

Rao is Zhao Shijiao was ruthless, and he was also taken aback by the news!

Full of people killed, destroyed?

How many years has there been no such thing in the Great Song Dynasty!

Lu Xuan, that is the Governor of the Governor's Mansion that Zhao Shijiao and they just pushed out, and when the original two or so Governors of the Governor's Mansion Wang Yu and Yang Wushu were not there, they replaced the two in charge of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, such important ministers of the court would also encounter this matter, are those private soldiers really lawless?

His first reaction was that it was those private soldiers in the city.

Although they borrowed this private army from the maritime merchants, they did not actually live in much control, and these people committed a lot of things in the city. There is a lot of grumbling in the city, and even they have heard of it.

Thinking about it again, no, even if it is a private army, I am afraid that they will not dare to make such a big fanfare, Mengzhou City is not elsewhere, even those private troops may know that there is some restraint, the private army is stupid, but it is not so bad that they can't tell the difference, in the past, they were just sneaking around ordinary people in the city, but for Lu Xuan, a big member of the court, they probably didn't dare.

What's more, as a hereditary noble, the new governor of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, Lu Xuan's Mansion is not without a little force, those private troops are ruthless, but their combat power is not high, and they are not very efficient in doing things, and it is not easy to kill the people of the Mansion so cleanly.

"Who the hell is it, check it, have there been any escapes?"

"No, not one!"

Someone answered categorically,

"It was precisely because of this that the patrol yamen felt scared and did not dare to be self-conscious, so they immediately reported it."

The fourth prince did not dare to slack off, hurriedly changed his clothes between words, and with the people who came to report to the front house, he led a group of people to the scene in a short time.

When the group arrived at the scene, the fire in the Viscount Mansion of Lu's original Nuoda Mansion had been burning all night, and the fire had gradually been extinguished under the efforts of patrolling the yamen in the city. The Great Song Dynasty also had an organization similar to the fire brigade in later generations, known as the Hidden Fire Army, which also had a variety of self-made fire extinguishing appliances, and the effect was extraordinary.

The Lu Mansion that had extinguished the fire was still steaming, and his eyes were scorched black, Zhao Shijiao wanted to go closer to see the situation, but everyone hurriedly stopped,

"No, prince, although this fire has been extinguished, the heat inside is still terrible, and the sparks hidden in those burned ruins may splash at any time, and the prince must not approach them."

Everyone stood outside, looking at the tragic situation of Lu Mansion and such a fire, I am afraid that no one can survive in the face of such a fire.

Who is the person who did this? This method is also ruthless, and everyone is afraid when they think about it.

And Prince Zhao Shijiao thought about it in his heart, who are these people, how powerful are they, and will they come at them?

After Zhao Shijiao read it, his heart was heavy, and he ordered the people who patrolled the yamen to investigate carefully, and if they found anything, they must report it quickly. After explaining the explanation, he immediately led the people away, and after a short time, in the palace of King An, several princes gathered again.

"Do the younger brothers think that this thing was done by the other side of them?" At the top, the new King of An Zhao Shichuan frowned and asked, speaking of which, it was only ten days before he ascended the throne, but he seemed to be more than ten years old, he was originally only in his thirties, but the white hair on his head was vague, his face was full of exhaustion, and his face made others look like he was close to fifty or sixty years old.

"No, it's not like a few of them did. I've already figured it out on the way," the fourth prince Zhao Shijiao replied, "In my opinion, only the old immortal Yang Invincible can do such a ruthless method in the city, but this old guy has a lot of power in his hands and has never shown his attitude.

Everyone in the court thinks that this old guy is loyal to the court and will stand on the opposite side of us, in fact, about this old man, Wang Yu Wang said well, this guy is a martial idiot in his bones, obsessed with battlefield battles, between us and the six princes, it is obvious that only we are the best for him, only when we are on the throne, we will take out the offerings in the treasury to support him to expand the army, support him to attack everywhere, he has no reason not to support us, the reason why this old guy does not stand up and express his position, is just greedy for reputation, I don't want to clear my name and get damaged, hum, it's just an old horseman!

He won't stand up against us. ”

"Brother Wang is right! So, who does Brother Wang think is the one who did this? Zhao Shichuan sat on the throne and asked again.

Zhao Shijiao thought about it, shook his head and didn't know,

"I'm afraid we still need to probe carefully!"

The two said a few words here, and someone next to them stood up impatiently, but it was Zhao Shixun, the ninth prince who was the youngest of the few people.

"A few royal brothers guessed and guessed, but they didn't know the point! It's simple, in my opinion,"
