On the twenty-ninth day of the first month, after counting the number of livestock killed in the two wings of the pasture, Cao Hao wrote the truth about the situation here, and the Chahar Dutong and the two wings of the ranch manager jointly sent them to the capital.

At the same time, Cao Hao took the subordinate officials and chiefs of Taifu Temple to return to Beijing.

At this moment, the capital is turbulent and unpredictable.

At midnight on the 28th day of the first lunar month, a fire broke out in Songshu Hutong in the south of the city. The cause was a dozen masked gangsters who broke into people's homes and wanted to commit misdeeds. After being discovered, the gang tried to set fire to themselves.

Just in time for the evening breeze to arrive, the fire spread and could not be contained, burning a whole street.

Because it was the middle of the night, when the dream was in the middle of the night, people did not wake up. By the time the fire was discovered, the situation was already critical. Nearly 30 people died in the fire, and more than 100 were injured.

The fire in the sky caused a sensation in Sijiu City.

The gangsters, although they set the fire, but they didn't get their wish, they were still caught by the guards here and sent directly to Shuntian Mansion.

At the foot of this Son of Heaven, in the first good place, there are such thugs who kill people and set fires, which naturally shocks the government and the opposition.

Restaurants and teahouses, streets and alleys, officials and ordinary people, there are many discussions.

Wang Yi of Shuntian Mansion secretly complained bitterly.

The so-called dozen or so gangsters, all of whom were young and strong, were just entering Shuntian Mansion, although they were a little panicked, but they quickly calmed down.

Seeing that they are all dressed naked, and they look like they are relying on and full of confidence, where do they look like outlaws? , this time after the stick, few people could survive the punishment, and they confessed their identities in a gossipy manner.

This line of ten people is the house slave of the Wenjun Palace.

When asked who was the one who was responsible for the trespass on people's houses, and why did they come, these people refused to open their mouths no matter how they were tortured?

They are the clothed minions of the palace, and life and death are on the side of the palace. confessed to the palace, because he was afraid that the government would investigate it deeply, and he was also afraid that he would be given up by the palace.

If they say one more thing, even if they can get out of the yamen, they will not be able to escape the punishment of the palace. Therefore, for the sake of a small life, no one will say a word.

The "Huang Dakui blackmail case" mentioned a few years ago has already involved a royal mansion, and now this "trespass case" will involve the royal mansion again?

Although Wang Yi said that he has his own style and bones, he is also worried about such a difficult case.

In the past, it was said that Tuo Heqi was the commander of the Nine Gates, and he was powerful, but Wang Yi was impeached, but he did not have the slightest concern.

Because Toheqi was a courtier like him.

This courtier has a place to pass, how many can the emperor tolerate? Even if you don't care about it for a while, there will always be a time for liquidation.

The prince of the clan, Baylor, is different, as long as it is not a major crime of rebellion, he usually can't die. It is often a big thing that turns a small thing into a small thing, and in the end, it is not over.

Even if they commit any great sins, most of them will take the title and be succeeded by their sons or brothers.

The clans in the capital, except for Prince Zhuang's Mansion and several Guogong Mansions, are mostly in the Taizu lineage. Just like this Wenjun Palace, it is the same line as Prince Xian's Mansion and Prince Suwu Haoge, and the owner of Wenjun Palace's Mansion is Beile Yanshou. When he first attacked the lord, he attacked the title of the prince of the county, and because he participated in the merger into the pearl and fought with the Suo Etu party in his early years, he was demoted to Baylor.

Wang Yi looked at such a royal mansion slave, thinking of the dozens of innocent people who died in the fire, his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.

If there is no one to take charge, how can these slaves dare to be so presumptuous?

I have been working hard for two years, avoiding right and wrong, not mixing everything, and I want to be a good parent, what is the purpose of shrinking my hands and feet now?

After thinking about it, Wang Yi's originally somewhat impetuous mood slowly calmed down.

Even if it is the prince of the clan, as long as he violates the law of the country, it is still a magnificent skynet, negligent but not leaky.

Thinking about the "advice" of the fourth elder brother when he visited a few days ago, Wang Yi's face showed a cold look.

There is no need for others to provoke him, since he is in his position, it is his duty to protect the safety of the people on this side.

In this position, every word and deed is watched.

Not to mention that with his own heart, he just wants to bring the villains to justice; Even if he wants to turn a blind eye, the high emperor will spare him?

Putting him in the position of the official of the parents of Gyeonggi is not to make him the emperor's sword, to deter the local government, and to pacify Gyeonggi?

If he wants to get rid of his involvement, it's simple, as long as he sends these royal slaves to the Yamen of the infantry army, and the rest will have a headache for Long Keduo, the commander of the Nine Gates.

But if he does that, how will he see the people of Gyeonggi again? If you do that, he will be Zhang Yi and Zhao Yi, and he will no longer be Wang Yi with a strong iron backbone...... * Lifanyuan Street, Wenjun Palace, Inner Hall.

With a whip in his hand, Umbel scarf slammed it at his son, Yuhui, who was kneeling on the ground.

Hui Hui was pumped upright, she couldn't bear the pain, her body staggered, and she couldn't help but wail "ouch".

Yan Shou was out of breath, but when he saw his son's nested appearance, he became more and more angry, and waved his whip, and several whips.

In a fit of rage, Yan Shou used all his strength.

Hui couldn't avoid it, and there was immediately a bloody purlin on his face. Before he had time to cry out in pain, he came down with another whip and hurriedly hugged his head.

Hou Jiashi, the wife of Hui Hui, heard that her son was called over by her husband, and she was worried that her son would cause trouble again, and she was afraid that he would be reprimanded, so she came over. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the door, I heard my son's scream.

Hou Jiashi hurriedly pushed the door in, and saw his son rolling on the ground in an embarrassed manner, where could he still hold back, tears had already come out.

Seeing that her husband was still doing it, Hou Jiashi hurriedly reached out and grabbed her husband's sleeve, and pleaded with a crying voice: "Lord Belle is angry, even if there is something wrong with his son, let's say he is." I've given birth to three, and I'm only standing down this one, and if he has a case, I won't live......" he said, already crying out loud.

Hui lived to be in her twenties, and it was the first time she was so angry with her father, and she was bluffed.

Hearing his mother's cry, he covered half of his injured face, walked to Yan Shou on his knees, and said pitifully: "Amma, my son knows that he is wrong, Ama don't be angry." ”

Although his son is usually arrogant, serving his parents is also filial piety.

If the Son does not teach, the Father is guilty. Even if there is something wrong with him, it is due to his own pampering. If I could be ruthless and teach my son a good lesson earlier, it would not have caused a catastrophe today.

Yan Shou looked at his son, frowned and threw the whip to the ground, and sighed heavily.

Hou Jiashi saw that his son's face was covered with blood, so he hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe him.

Thirty or so lives, even if it is a clan, in order to calm the anger of the people, Long Live Lord will not be gracious, I am afraid that there will only be a strict punishment.

In addition, Hui Hui had misbehaved before, and if he investigated it deeply, I am afraid that this son would not be able to keep it.

Thinking of this, Yan Shou's face gradually showed a look of despair, took a few steps back, and sat down on the chair.

In just a few moments, he seemed to be several years older.

After Hou Jiashi finished wiping his son, he didn't see her husband say anything, afraid that he would still be annoyed, so he turned his head and wanted to persuade him.

Seeing her husband's expression, Hou Jiashi was startled, and said with anxiety: "Master, this is ...... This is the son who caused a big disaster, which king's brother he hit, or whose daughter......"

Yan Shou shook his head weakly, and said with a wry smile: "If I beat the elder brother of any royal house, it's a big deal that I give up my old face but plead for him; Who's daughter is ruined, and she is hired to be a daughter-in-law. Thirty or so lives, the fire that caused a sensation in Sijiu City in the middle of the night last night was the ...... that this evil beast caused people to release."

When Hou Jiashi heard this, his face was "brushed" snow-white, without a trace of blood, and his body trembled and he couldn't speak.

Seeing his father like this, Hui hurriedly defended himself: "Amma, it's not a son, the son didn't ask those minions to set fire. The son just told them to rob the Han Jiang clan back, but the son didn't ask them to set fire......"

Yanshou listened, but he thought that his son was afraid of things and didn't think about anything else.

His son is lustful, he knows it, but he doesn't think it's a big problem, and it would be good to wait for two years to be older and more stable, but he didn't expect it to cause a big disaster.

He glared at his son vigorously and said, "Rob people, rob whom?" That was the shopkeeper of the Da Gege shop in the Seventh Elder Brother's Mansion, and Da Gege personally went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to pick up the person this morning. Behind that stood the Cao family, the prince and grandson, and the iron hat king! Are you trying to force you to death? ”

Hui Hui was already stunned, his eyes were straight, and he muttered: "How can this be, isn't it said that it is the niece and daughter of Shi Hanlin, a little widow living in the capital?" also said that there are thousands of family wealth, and robbing them to be concubines is a ...... of both people and money."

Yan Shou only felt that his eyes were black for a while, and he didn't notice what his son said at all.

Hou Jiashi calmed down and cried: "Master, what should I do?" Otherwise, I'm going to ask for Da Gege, and I'm going to ask for the Seven Blessings......"

Yan Shou waved his hand weakly, and said: "It's useless, this is no longer an entanglement between the two families, these individuals are dead, don't say that this little beast is just an idle clan without a title, even I, Baylor, don't use it......"

Speaking of this, he saw the light of dawn come out in despair.

Shuntianfu detains the house slaves here, and a few of them are used to helping their sons. Under the great punishment, I don't know what to say.

If you want to get rid of it completely, it's tantamount to a fool's dream.

If they confess their son, they will not be able to keep this bit of blood and bones.

Is it that when you are old, you have to become a desperate household? Do you want to go with your old wife to see the face of your heir?

Yan Shou looked at his wife and then at his son, and his expression became more and more determined. He raised his head and said to his wife: "Send someone to get the python robe of the master, and the master will go to Shuntianfu." ”

Hou Jiashi listened to her husband's instructions, wiped her tears, and went out to send people.

Yanshou walked up to his son, touched his head, sighed, and said, "You should save trouble...... Marry a daughter-in-law and be filial to your mother...... In the future, Amma can't protect you anymore......"

Hearing this, Hui Hui was confused, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Amma?" Amma is angry with her son and doesn't want to see her son again? ”

Yan Shou's expression had turned solemn, looked at his son's eyes, and said slowly: "You have to remember that it was you and me who beat Han Jiang's idea, and it was also me who asked you to arrange people to go to Songshu Hutong...... It has nothing to do with you......"

At the door, Hou Jiashi was already unsteady, holding on to the door frame, looking at her husband, Gaba Gaba, but he couldn't cry or cry...... * Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

It had been half an hour since he came back from the Yamen, but Han Jiang's face still hadn't eased.

Even if she has been in charge of the family for many years, after all, she is a young woman, she witnessed the killing with her own eyes like she did last night, saw the fire in the sky, and heard the crying father and mother all over the street, she was terrified.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said, "Before the uncle left, he had already said something about you, let me pay attention to it." I knew that I would have made such a big fuss, and I should have picked you up as soon as possible. ”

Han Jiang only felt that what was "buzzing" in his head was the movement of the fire last night.

After a while, she came to her senses, and when she heard the second half of Chu Yu's words, she shook her head and said indifferently: "Gege doesn't have to take it to heart, who would have thought that it would be like this?" ”

Thinking of the neighbors who were crying with the bodies of their relatives, she didn't know which one to blame.

Since the accident in the shop in Daoxiang Village, Cao Hao has mentioned her safety more than once.

But she thought it was an important place in the capital, and the other party would only use some unsavory means, and she didn't take Cao Yan's words to heart. In addition, Zheng Hu and others who wanted to go to Caofu, she became more and more at ease, and she was bent on waiting for those jumping clowns to throw themselves into the net.

Who would have thought that this would be the case?

Who should the more than 30 surnames of the neighbors hang on?

The culprit, who connived at all this, is her, the widow of her parents!

More than 30 people are gone like this, even if they give up their lives, they can't afford to pay it back.

Han Jiang only felt that his throat was salty, his eyes were dark, his body was weak, and he had fallen straight back......
