Chapter Seventy-Five: The Dark Tide of the National Capital
The lord of the country, Tang Wen, was furious, there was such a big fire in the national capital, and it happened in the mansion of the dean of the Martial Arts Academy, and the general soldier of the fire division who was responsible for the security of the national capital was directly dismissed by Tang Wen, this is really wronged.
The generals and ministers in the hall looked at each other, puzzled by what happened last night.
Tang Wen's face was cloudy, walking around the hall, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and all the ministers on the left and right were silent.
"Master Wang, is there any news of Tang Zhenren? Have you found out the casualties, and have you been implicated in the fire nearby? Have you found out the cause of the fire, is it the Tang family that caught fire, or did someone deliberately set fire to the crime?"
On the right side of the hall, among the military ministers, an old man who was too old, with goosebumps and a thin figure flashed, stroked his white beard and bowed and replied: "Lord, after the fire in Tangfu last night, the old minister did not sleep all night, the fire in Tangfu burned strangely, and it was very strange to extinguish, such a big house, it burned into ruins in a few hours, but the fire was too big, and the fire master and Ben had no way to put out the fire, but in less than a quarter of an hour in the early morning, the fire was extinguished, and Tang Zhenren's cultivation was against the sky, it should be fine, but there is no news now." โ
This person was none other than Wang Xingren, the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Empire, his eyes flickered, and his black face with a sharp beak looked a little malnourished.
Wang Taishi's analysis of the fire in Tangfu made Tang Wen nod frequently, it is indeed very strange, it stands to reason that Tangfu, which covers such a large area, it is normal for the fire to burn for three days and three nights.
Tang Wen is not a fool, the fire last night, the entire capital was red by the light of the skyrocketing fire, Tang Wen also did not sleep all night, standing on the Tianyun Tower in the backyard of the capital until the fire was extinguished.
Wang Taishi said with a suspicious face: "Lord of the country, there are even more strange things, according to the fire master's inventory, all the subordinates in the Tang Mansion, except for one who died in the fire, there were no casualties, and all the family members of Tang Zhenren were killed in the fire, this is ...... It's unreasonable, the old minister thinks that it must be the Tang family's subordinates who maliciously set the fire!"
When Tang Wen heard that there was such a bizarre thing, a trace of surprise appeared on his gloomy face, this is also incredible, if it was arson from the Tang family, how could Tang Feipeng disappear?
To say that Wen Fan's actions against Tang Mansion this time, Wen Fan also considered it, when he destroyed Bei Cangzhen Jiazhuang and Meijiazhuang, Wen Fan did not leave a living mouth, and afterwards Wen Fan also felt that he was a little excessive, and killed some people who had nothing to do with the matter in vain, and he regretted it very much.
The ministers of civil and military affairs whispered, all kinds of speculations about the affairs of the Tang Mansion, and no one came to any conclusions, and finally Tang Wen ordered that the Tang family should be strictly investigated, and the murderer must be found, and the whereabouts of Tang Zhenren must be searched, and the ministers retired.
Tang Wen returned to the apse of the capital, his brows furrowed, this matter was so strange that even the people he sent out did not find any valuable clues.
Although what Taishi Wang said above the main hall was the truth, Tang Wen had his own opinion, at the beginning of appointing Tang Feipeng as the dean of the Martial Saint Academy, he was opposed by the elders of the Elder Hall of the Martial Saint Academy, could it be that these things were done by those old guys in the Elder Hall? Such a scene, only they can do it......
Outside the hall of the Divine Craftsman Wenfu, everyone in the courtyard smiled, looking at the loot piled up like a mountain, Wen Fan felt really sad, they all said that in three years of the Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, Tang Feipeng has only been in the position of the dean of the Martial Arts Academy for a few years, and he has already had so much property, where did it come from?
It's nothing more than people like Lu Pang who sell their fame and reputation in order to cross the gold, and they are not qualified to enter the Martial Arts Academy, but as long as they have money, how can they not do it?
However, these yellow and white objects did not have much attraction to Wen Fan, what Wen Fan really cared about was a few letters that Shi Long had found in a secret room in Tang Mansion.
Several letters clearly confirmed the relationship between Tang Feipeng and the True Heaven Palace of the Huozhen Empire, and the content of the letters shocked Wen Fan even more, the dark clouds of the Qiankun Empire were surging, and it had reached such a point!
There are many things that Wen Fan didn't think of, and he was a little confused, and he wanted to discuss with Huo Huan and Shi Long, but these people were not interested in the battles between these empires, and they didn't understand, in Huo Huan's words, the relationship between people was too complicated, and the demon said that he didn't understand it, and he didn't want to understand it......
After carefully analyzing the contents of the letter, Wen Fan can be sure that Tang Feipeng and he are not from the Qiankun Empire, why didn't Tang Wen, the lord of the country, find out? With Tang Wen's scheming, it is impossible not to investigate the identity of a person in such an important position, so who forged Tang Feipeng's identity and gained Tang Wen's trust?
There are many puzzles in this, if they are not handled properly, they will inevitably cause shocks in the officialdom of the Qiankun Empire, Wen Fan is not good at this, and this matter should be more cautious.
When Wen Fan was at a loss for what was in front of him, Lu Jiujin came in a hurry.
"Boss, I already have news about what you arranged for me yesterday, last night's fire in Tangfu must have been done by the boss, but I also got some clues from other channels, in addition, I have also found out the true identity of Guardian Auction House!"
Sure enough, Lu Fat's shot must be extraordinary, Wen Fan's tightly knit brows finally relaxed, and he asked anxiously: "Tell me quickly, what have you found!"
Seeing that Wen Fan attached so much importance to this matter, Lu Pang put away his smile and said: "Boss, according to a large number of visits, Tang Feipeng has been very close to many officials of the empire over the past few years, among which he is particularly close to Wang Taishi and Yin Zhongtang, although Tang Feipeng is the dean of the Martial Saint Academy, how many times have we seen him in the Martial Saint Academy?"
This is really okay if you don't check it, it's all wrong if you check it, Lu Pang said, Wen Fan also understands a little, Tang Feipeng walks around, and the identity of the dean of the Martial Arts Academy just provides him with favorable conditions for interacting with the upper echelons of the Qiankun Empire.
Lu Fat's struggle for officialdom and power is much more transparent than Wen Fan's, and Lu Pang will definitely enter the official career in the future, so analyzing this kind of thing, he will naturally be able to directly cut to the point and find the root of the problem.
Seeing that Wen Fan recognized his analysis, Lu Pang was also a little proud, raised his big face slightly to the sky, and whispered: "The empire has nine catties, and the future is worry-free, full of economic wealth, self-supporting, and talented, showing all the body fat! Alas, no one knows talent, and it is lonely......"
"Poofโ"
Wen Fan took a sip of tea and sprayed it on Lu Pang's face, and said with a smile: "Who said that no one knows talents, I think you are a person with great wisdom, don't be poor, let's talk about the Guardian Auction House." โ
Lu Pang wiped the water stains on his face, and said with some hesitation: "Boss, this Guardian Auction House, I really don't understand it, the person behind the auction house is actually the Duke of Tang Zhan, he is far away from Qianlong Island, and he is more comfortable than the lord of the country, why should he get an auction house in the national capital? He is not short of money to spend...... And according to my grandfather, the lord of the country knows about this, and he really looks at the account book in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and there are many articles......"
Wen Fan touched his forehead and thought to himself, it is really getting more and more complicated, although Lu Pang doesn't know, but combined with the words he overheard in the auction house, this matter is easy to explain.
Duke Tang Zhan, he wants to rebel!
At that time, Wen Fan thought that he could build the best weapon caused this person's jealousy, and now it seems that there are many people in this capital, who are targeting themselves, and they will be low-key if they know it......
