Chapter 141: Burning Nanshan Temple
Back at the county office, after Liang Yuxi and Wang Yulu bumped their heads, they learned that many changes had occurred in Donglu Mansion. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and the big housekeeper Du Zixin is actually the black hand behind this, and Liang Yuxi can't turn around all of a sudden.
It is said that Du Zixin has been in Donglu Mansion for decades, and he has always served the lord faithfully, which is also obvious to everyone. Although I don't know why Du Zixin killed someone, if the mansion misunderstands what Miss Wang did, then it will be difficult to trust between Donglu Mansion and Liang Yuxi.
What Liang Yuxi is thinking about now is, how to pass this on to the eldest mother? If the eldest lady is kept in the dark, the house may have to suffer. Write a letter directly, and the eldest lady will definitely not believe it.
Wang Yuyu looked at Liang Yuxi, who was carrying his hands around in the back office, and said, "It's really not good, just arrest Du Zixin and interrogate him." After all, there was a death in Donglu Mansion, and the county government should not stand idly by. ”
Liang Yuxi stopped and nodded, "I think so too, since I can't say it well, let the person who should speak speak, I'm afraid it will be more convincing." ”
He asked with concern: "I didn't expect the eldest lady to be so powerful now, how is your injury?" Is it really hard to recover your strength? ”
Wang Yuyu: "I'm fine, it may take some time for this skill to recover." It's not surprising that the eldest lady is so powerful, she practices like a demon all day long, and the Scattered Danjing is a stunt in the rivers and lakes. If she guards Donglu Mansion, I'm afraid it won't be easy to take Du Zixin. ”
Liang Yuxi: "I still remember the last time the county government entered the mansion to search, and the last time was the Erniang room searched by the big housekeeper Du Zixin and the eldest lady, if Du Zixin did something at that time, the whereabouts of this treasure box would be clear." Therefore, Du Zixin must be arrested. ”
Liang Yuxi then called the chief secretary and Zhu Quan to discuss a countermeasure, how to trick Du Zixin out of Donglu Mansion, and then take him.
At this time, the sound of commotion sounded in the front hall, and after a while, some officials ran to the back hall to report, saying that Nanshan Temple was burning, and the fire was very big.
Liang Yuxi immediately called the officials and quickly went to Nanshan Temple to put out the fire. He also changed into a short dress and was about to leave the county office.
Wang Yulu grabbed him and said, "Brother Yuxi, be careful." Nanshan Temple now has all kinds of characters, maybe my godfather is also there, and the saint is also there. At this time, the fire may also have a deep meaning. ”
Liang Yuxi looked at the concern between Wang Yuyu's eyebrows, and also felt that her words were not groundless.
Nanshan Temple is such a big temple, and it is built in a hillside forest, and the most feared thing may be fire. Therefore, the fire prevention of the temple should have been done well, and now there is a sudden fire, that is, someone did it deliberately.
He patted the back of Wang Yuyu's hand, "I know." You can rest in the backyard with peace of mind, I told my mother and asked her to cook you something delicious. ”
This is the first time that the two have had such a warm and affectionate conversation. It was also the first time that they felt a bit of sweetness with each other.
Liang Yuxi got on the horse at the gate of the county government and went to Nanshan Temple. Along the way, I also saw the officials pushing the waterwheel and hurrying south. Many ordinary people, holding bamboo rakes to extinguish fires, also shouted to put out the fire. However, looking at this speed, I am afraid that it will be difficult to save the fire when I reach Nanshan Temple.
As soon as he whipped his horse's buttocks, he galloped up. Before he arrived at Nanshan Temple, looking at the position of the archway building, Liang Yuxi saw the billowing smoke in the south.
Liang Yuxi remembered that one year, a fire broke out on North Street, and it took almost dozens of houses to extinguish it. The smoke wasn't that big.
By the time he arrived at the gate of Nanshan Temple, thousands of people had gathered there, all passing water bags and buckets, and the firefighting team had also lined up into the temple. There are quite a few monks who are also in the ranks of you.
Liang Yuxi ran up the hill with three steps and two steps, and when he squeezed into the gate of the temple, he saw that the entire temple was in a sea of fire. Many monks are sitting cross-legged on the side, silently reciting scriptures.
The little glass of water in people's hands couldn't save any fire at all, and the fire not only did not weaken, but it also burned more and more. The rescued people kept retreating down the mountain, otherwise they would not be able to stand the ravages of the tongue of fire.
Liang Yuxi searched carefully among the monks, and did not see the abbot of the round order, so he grabbed a monk and asked, and the monk said with tears on his face, the abbot master did not come out in the sea of fire.
Liang Yuxi asked him again how the fire started, and the monk shook his head and said he didn't know.
Liang Yuxi saw that the location of the main hall and those buildings were crumbling, and the fire must have been set by someone from the temple.
And among these firefighters, they didn't see the soldiers of the Weifeng Battalion and the newly arrived Iron Battalion, and thought to themselves, King Zheng, they shouldn't be here. I just don't know if the Holy One is in it.
Thinking of this, Liang Yuxi looked around and found a way to the back slope of the temple. He had been here once last time, and there was no sign of the saint. But maybe there's someone in those courtyards.
He arrived at the back slope of the hill and found out. The courtyards were burning, and the fire seemed to have been burning for a while.
It can be seen from this that someone must have deliberately set the fire, and it was not arson by one or two people, otherwise it would be impossible for so many fire points to burn at the same time.
At this moment, there was an exclamation from the temple gate, followed by a loud crackling sound. Liang Yuxi hurried back to the front to see, it turned out to be several large ginkgo trees in the temple, which suddenly collapsed in the flames.
Liang Yuxi, like everyone present, felt a heavy heart. The fall of these thousand-year-old trees also means that this centuries-old temple has turned into ashes.
When many monks saw this, they even wailed and cried, and many monks even made a gesture to rush into the fire, but were pulled back. In the midst of the fire, there was a cry.
The fire burned until sunset, when the last spark was extinguished. People are just stepping on the ruins and embers, looking for something.
When Liang Yuxi returned to the county office, he saw an unexpected person, only to see Jia Baiyu sitting in the back hall.
This surprised him a lot. Jia Baiyu looked anxious, completely like the previous chic and elegant.
Liang Yuxi: "I haven't seen Mr. Jia for a long time, I don't know where my third brother is now?" How is he? ”
Jia Baiyu looked at him and sighed, "Yuxi, it's hard to explain." I'm here for the business of Chai Gongzi......"
"What's wrong with the third brother?"
He ...... He is now imprisoned by King Zheng. ”
Liang Yuxi asked anxiously, "Why?" ”
"It's a long story, and I'm here to discuss it with you. Because before tomorrow night, Chai Gongzi must be rescued, otherwise, something may not be good. ”
"King Zheng imprisoned Chai Gongzi?"
"Well, King Zheng wanted to force Chai Gongzi to ascend the throne, but Chai Gongzi didn't obey, so he imprisoned him. This deadline is tomorrow night, and Chai Gongzi also threatened to commit suicide tomorrow night to Mingzhi. ”
Liang Yuxi was shocked when he heard this, and King Zheng forced his third brother to ascend the throne and become emperor? The third brother never said it, and he had to force each other to die.
"Then you take me to see King Zheng, and I'll talk to him." Liang Yuxi knew that it was hopeless to say this.
Jia Baiyu shook his head: "Impossible, King Zheng is determined to help his son ascend the throne in Qinghe County, and he also wants Zhao Kuangyin to be a subordinate in a low ......"
"The Holy One is not dead? There's nothing either, right? ”
"He's fine, just in captivity."
Liang Yuxi didn't expect that behind this, the situation suddenly changed, and King Zheng didn't know what he was going crazy about.
