Chapter 268: Fire
Shangguan Wan'er also wanted to solve the matter of someone burning the file in a hurry, but after listening to Ji Ning's words, she thought about it a little and understood the crux of the problem - her identity must not be made public, let alone blatantly appear in the field of vision of the government and the Temple of Literature, because she is nominally a ****** person, although what she wants to do now is to stop ******'s behavior.
"Ji Gongzi's words are wrong, if the little woman doesn't go to the tribute courtyard, how can she stop those people from setting fires?" Shangguan Wan'er looked at Ji Ning fiercely, and inquired with a scrutinizing and condescending attitude.
This attitude is just that she feels strong pressure in front of Ji Ning, and she wants to not lose to others in terms of demeanor, but this just proves that she has "lost".
Ji Ning said: "Miss Shangguan has nothing to do with this case, even if she wants to come forward, it should be the imperial court and the Confucian Temple's envoys to come forward, I believe that these envoys will not want to burn all the examination files, right?" ”
Shangguan Wan'er was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it, she couldn't help but nod her head.
"Ji Gongzi is saying that let the little girl go to find Zhang Lie and Sui Xi, as well as Guo Ling?" Shangguan Wan'er asked.
"Hmm." Ji Ning said, "If it is not bad as expected, if someone wants to set fire to the file, it is necessary to transfer these three people, and someone will be found to entangle them so that they will not notice." After the arson happened at night, the file was burned, and the initiative of the matter would no longer lie with a few Qincha, who might become puppets of others in order not to be held accountable by the imperial court. At that time, the case will go in the direction set by some people, and it will be difficult for anyone to turn the tide! ”
"Admire, admire." Shangguan Wan'er said sincerely, "Ji Gongzi was only a candidate involved in the case, but he was able to organize it so clearly, it seems that Ji Gongzi won the exam, and it is definitely deserved." The little woman thanked Ji Gongzi for his advice first, and then said goodbye, hoping to come and drink with Ji Gongzi again after the matter was completed. ”
Ji Ning smiled and said, "I hope that the next time I see Miss Shangguan, I can really appreciate Miss Shangguan's beauty, instead of being dressed up and veiled." ”
Shangguan Wan'er also smiled and said: "Since Ji Gongzi has a request, the little woman will not refuse, but I hope that Ji Gongzi will not dislike the little girl's mediocre appearance at that time!" Leave! ”
After speaking, she walked out of the door quickly, and as soon as she arrived at the courtyard, people rose into the air, Ji Ning looked at the back that disappeared into the night, and felt bad in her heart. He smiled slightly bitterly: "If it is a peerless beauty in Allure, how good it would be to come in the middle of the night to give her arms, but she is here to find trouble, I hope she can handle this case well!" “
……
……
Shangguan Wan'er left the Ji Mansion and went directly to the post station in the south of Jinling City, because she knew that Zhang Lie and Sui Xi had temporarily settled in the post station.
"Ji Gongzi is so talented, he can't be underestimated in the future, the prince is insidious and cunning, if you let Ji Gongzi work for the prince, it doesn't seem to be a good thing. When I went back, I told my master about this, hoping that her old man would judge the situation and no longer support the crown prince, even if she didn't join the Five Princes Party or Princess Wenren's side, at least she would withdraw from the power struggle. Doing things for the prince will do endless harm! ”
Shangguan Wan'er was a member of the ******, but now she was dead to ******, because she felt helpless to be used, but she was forced by the order of her master to help ****** complete some sweeping things for the time being.
Now she knew that it was probably King Chong or someone from ****** who set fire to the file, but she still had no hesitation to stop it.
When Shangguan Wan'er arrived at the post station, it was already half past night, and she searched on the roof for a long time before she found a relatively noisy hall, uncovered the tiles and looked down, and the situation below made her unbearable to look at.
The following is the story of two men and countless women, they are all disheveled, the younger ones are more reserved, but they are also holding two or three women, and they are doing something, as for the other old one, they are blindfolded and "scratching", and the women he catches will be torn by him, and then press on the ground to do something, and then he will look for other targets.
The absurdity in it even surpassed the mediocre emperors that Shangguan Wan'er knew before.
"The eagle dogs of the imperial court are so ridiculous, are they here to investigate the case, or are they here to drink and have fun?" Shangguan Wan'er was very angry, not only angry at the absurdity of Zhang Lie and Sui Xi, but also angry that none of the women below resisted, and actually allowed these two people who were old enough to be their fathers or even grandfathers to bully them, and even made pandering actions.
Shangguan Wan'er thought about it, what method to use to remind the following two people who were addicted to women, and tell them the news that the Gongyuan was about to catch fire.
She was sure that she would not show up in person, and the only way was to scare them directly and make them wake up.
So she took out the fire fold, lit a ribbon, threw it down from the roof, and landed on the veil, and the ribbon set the tent on fire, and the fire rose instantly.
"Ahh It's on fire! One of the dancers shouted first.
Zhang Lie took off the blindfold, and the firelight in front of him frightened him, while Sui Xi was a little drunk, and he got up from the woman in a hazy way, and Sui Xi was also shocked when he saw the firelight.
"It's on fire!"
Because the veil burned quickly, and the houses were all wooden buildings, the fire was together, and the people in the hall didn't even have time to sort out their clothes, so they escaped directly from the hall.
Zhang Lie just put the wide official robe on his body and roared angrily: "Song Yicheng, what's the matter? ”
Song Yicheng thought to himself: "You ask me what's the matter? You've set the house on fire in the dark, and you're going to blame me? ”
At this time, Song Yicheng didn't realize that this fire was actually directing Zhang Lie and Sui Xi's attention in the direction of Gongyuan. Suddenly, I heard a deep man's voice in the distance: "No one was burned, go, go to the Tribute Courtyard!" ”
The voice immediately went away, and this sound not only startled Zhang Lie and Sui Xi, but even Song Yicheng was stunned. The thought that popped up in Song Yicheng's heart: "Could it be that someone is preparing to set fire to the Gongyuan and at the same time is preparing to burn the post house?" Then in the future, will I also be killed and killed? ”
Only then did Zhang Lie realize that this fire was deliberately done by someone. Zhang Lie said: "Hurry up and prepare for the car, and then bring people...... Call the fire dragon team in the city and go to the Tribute Courtyard! ”
Song Yicheng was a little flustered and said, "Zhang Vice Xian, you ...... You don't have to listen to those people. ”
"Are you trying to stop the official from running errands? Little Yicheng, if the official wants to kill you, you can cut it first and then prepare the carriage and horses...... Forget it, just prepare the horses and we'll ride over! ”
