The next morning, the sun came out rarely, but the cold wind was still biting.

Several braziers in the Liangyi Hall are burning, and the hall is as warm as spring.

Li Erzheng and several close ministers discussed the disaster relief, a large number of displaced people fell into the streets, the weather is hot, the weather is cold at all, people are dying every day, considering that once the heavy snow falls, I am afraid that many people will die in the villages outside the city, and many houses will collapse.

It's just that the treasury is insufficient, and everyone can't come up with any good solutions.

At this time, Wang De hurriedly ran in, bowed down and said, "Holy Lord, there is an accident in the coal mountain of Tongguan County." ”

"Which coal mountain?" Li Eryi didn't react for a while.

Wang De hurriedly reminded: "Qin Huaidao, the court's court." ”

"He- what's wrong?" Li Er's eyes were cold.

The other ministers also looked at Wang De, and everyone didn't care about changing the court, but Qin Huaidao, the courtier, still had an identity, Yiguo Gong, the son of Qin Qiong, so he had to be concerned.

Wang De hurriedly said: "Back to the saint, an hour ago, a bandit suddenly appeared, and the fire burned the mountain. ”

"What about Luo Zhang, didn't he recruit a hundred guards?" Li Er interrupted, his heart was cold, hell riding bandits, how could there be riding bandits in the land of Jingzhao Mansion, it must be a fake from some family.

Wang De hurriedly said: "The news from the local county government said that they suddenly fainted after breakfast, someone put sweat medicine in the food, and the bandits set fire to the mountain and left, Luo Zhang did not die, the other party's purpose was to burn the mountain." ”

"Order Lu Guogong to send someone to pick them up immediately and bring the imperial doctor with them."

"Yes!" Wang De hurriedly went.

The main hall suddenly became depressed, although the murderer was not to kill people, but he couldn't accept it, Fang Xuanling preemptively said: "Shengshang, it must be Qinjiazhuang's burning of bricks that has moved the interests of some people, it must be thoroughly investigated, the people who were assassinated and transported before, and now they are directly burning the mountain, they are too bold, they simply ignore the imperial court, and they can't do it." ”

Li Jing also said coldly: "That's right, Luo Zhang is guarding the coal mountain for Chao Yilang, and Chao Yilang went to Lingnan Road, thousands of miles away, to look for medicine to treat Princess Jinyang, but the imperial court can't even keep his coal mountain, once Chao Yilang comes back, how will the imperial court explain?" ”

Li Er nodded, looked at Duan Lun, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and asked, "What is the cost of bricks?" ”

"Back to the saint, the biggest cost of firing bricks is charcoal, a large kiln ten taels of silver can not be beaten, Chao Lang is wonderful, can actually use the black soil that everyone discarded to burn bricks, incredible, unprecedented, the saint will give the coal mountain to Chao Lang, which means that Chao Lang burns bricks for free, the cost has plummeted, and the future into the market will inevitably move many people cakes, causing dissatisfaction." Duan Lun explained.

"Is there such a big gap in one kiln?" Li Er was a little moved.

"What's more, the minister deliberately went to Qinjiazhuang to see the kiln burned, the quality is better than the one on the market, the key is that all the kilns can be used, and others can use a kiln at most six or seven percent, there is more space in it, no wonder some people are concerned, the minister speculates that someone wants to suppress Qinjiazhuang and force it to hand over the firing method, in the face of huge interests, what is killing people and setting fire? Qinjiazhuang is in trouble. Duan Lun reminded.

"They dare!"

Li Er's face turned cold, and he shouted: "Pass the decree, order the Baiqi Division to strictly investigate this matter, and tell Li Junxian that if he can't find it within a week, he will submit his resignation himself." ”

"Yes!" Immediately, an attendant arrived, and he hurried away.

Li Jing arched his hand and shouted: "Holy Lord, the courtiers are not here, Qinjiazhuang is in trouble, and people will inevitably be panicked, please go and take a look, appease people's hearts, so as not to make a big mistake." ”

"It's okay, tell them, I will definitely give Qinjiazhuang an explanation for this."

"Yes!" Li Jing hurriedly got up and hurried away.

No one noticed that a red figure flashed at the door, it was Princess Yuzhang who came to give Li Er bird's nest, where was she still in the mood to send it in when she heard the conversation, she turned around and trotted back, hurriedly came to a courtyard, pushed open the door and shouted: "Imperial sister, imperial sister, something happened." ”

"What's wrong?" Princess Jinyang, who was reading a book, turned her head curiously.

"There were bandits who stormed the coal mountain and burned the mountain, Luo Zhang and they were drugged with sweat, but fortunately they were not killed."

"What......" Jin Yang's face turned cold with anger, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "No, if you want to kill someone, it is impossible to keep your hands, the sweat medicine should be Liwei, and burning the mountain is also Liwei, there is only one purpose, to force Qinjiazhuang to hand over the method of burning bricks, Qinjiazhuang may be in trouble." ”

"The father and the ministers also speculated like this, these people are too hateful, they are simply ......" Yu Zhang, who has always been indifferent, couldn't help but want to burst into foul language.

"Sister Huang, you go to Qinjiazhuang immediately, this time is different from usual, the murderer behind him will think that Qinjiazhuang's business is related to Sister Huang, and he will have some scruples, as long as you are here, you may not dare to enter Qinjiazhuang, even if you are killed, I dare not touch you, don't worry about safety."

"I'm not afraid of death, what should I do with my father? We are princesses, we can't leave the palace casually, and in case of other rumors, what will be the face of our father? ”

Jin Yang said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of?" Spread some rumors to let people know that it is better for you to have a close relationship with Brother Qin, and no one will dare to agree to the marriage of your father and emperor in the future, and you will not marry Brother Qin, it is a big deal to be beaten to death by your father, do you dare to go? ”

"Me?" Yu Zhang was a little tempted.

Jin Yang was a little speechless, and urged: "It's so stupid, you won't find an excuse to fool the past on the surface?" Forget it, just say I'll let you help, go and see if Chao Yilang has come back from picking Luo Han Guo, care about his sister, it's reasonable, no one dares to say anything, it's not good for my father to really kill you if he knows, hurry up, right? ”

"Then be careful at home." Yu Zhang hurried away.

"You still say you don't like people?" Jin Yang said a little speechlessly.

……

Qinjiazhuang, ancestral hall.

Xue Rengui hurriedly hit his horse over, turned over and jumped off without waiting to stop, rushed into the ancestral hall, and said anxiously: "Uncle Jia, something big happened over there in the coal mountain. ”

"What's wrong?" Jia Youcai hurriedly asked.

"Someone put sweat medicine in the food, Luo Shizi and others were put down, and the bandits burned the mountain and left, Lu Guogong has sent someone to pick up people and bring the imperial doctor, the problem should not be big, the weather is cold, even if the coal mountain burns, it will not be too big, but these people are too poisonous, this is to be forced to death." Xue Rengui said resentfully.

"It seems that they will not give up until they get the method of making bricks." Jia Youcai looked at the person next to him with a cold face, and advised: "Choose some brothers to go back to Chang'an, and you must find out who the murderer is." ”

The other party hurriedly reminded: "The brothers are gone, what should I do here?" They took sweat pills but no one was there, obviously they were demonstrating, if they didn't hand it over, they wouldn't keep it next time, and the best target was Qinjiazhuang. ”

"That's right, according to Xue's opinion, the murderer is not unwilling to kill Luo Shizi, but he doesn't dare, the son of the world is noble, and he will suffer endlessly after killing, so he is drugged and fascinated, and he has no scruples about Qinjiazhuang, and the destruction of sixty-five households is proof that Qinjiazhuang is in danger." Xue Rengui reminded.

"Reasonable! Remember, after entering Chang'an, lurking, secretly acting, finding out the murderer and waiting for the young master to return, as long as you can find out who did it, the old man is worth it even if he dies, what's the matter, now I can't command you? Jia Youcai asked, and a huge momentum suddenly erupted.

"Whoa!" The other party hesitated for a moment and hurried away.

Xue Rengui was in awe and said, "Uncle Jia, unless I die, I will never let Qinjiazhuang lose, please ask Uncle Jia to send eighty people to me to protect the village." ”

"No, from now on, the whole village will listen to the command, the young master has explained, saying that you are talented and credible, this time has also proved that the whole village is convinced, and the safety of more than 1,000 people in Qinjiazhuang will be entrusted to you." Jia Youcai solemnly replied.
