Chapter 548: Chill
Several courtiers came out and spoke with righteous indignation, but received no response. They had finished speaking, but there was silence in the hall, and the atmosphere was very heavy and oppressive.
Several people were puzzled, but they didn't dare to look up at the emperor directly, they only lowered their heads and rolled their eyes, exchanging glances with the corners of their eyes, but they didn't understand the point.
This oppressive atmosphere lasted for a while before the emperor grimaced and continued to ask Qiu Changhe: "Is there anything else going on besides the fire in the Guanjia workshop and the crowded stampede?" ”
Qiu Changhe hurriedly bowed down and replied: "When the riot broke out, the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Shuntian Mansion sent people to maintain order and control the main streets, during which dozens of thugs and suspicious people who took advantage of the chaos to rob were captured...... Well, well, these suspects are currently being held in the Shuncheonfu prison awaiting trial. ”
When he got the news last night, he came out to preside over the sorting out of the affairs after the riots, and he was busy all night, busy asking about the losses and casualties in various places, and verifying the identities of the people stranded on the streets.
The soldiers and horses and the officials arrested those who were quickly arrested were sent to the prison as soon as they were arrested, and he had not had time to interrogate them.
And he didn't dare to interrogate, yesterday's fire was strange, he went to see the Guan family workshop in person, and he also sent someone to control the scene early.
But the people of the government couldn't get close to the Guan family's workshop at all, and it wasn't until he rushed there and the fire was extinguished that he and several of his subordinates were able to enter the workshop, and the workshop was a mess, except for Liu Xie, there was no one there.
The fire and riots among the people of the capital should have been the affairs of the Shuncheon Prefecture and the Soldiers and Horses. The Shuncheon Mansion is in charge of trial and guidance, and the Soldiers and Horses Division is responsible for controlling the situation and preventing chaos.
But this time, a folk workshop caught fire, and Liu Xie appeared here. Qiu Changhe glanced at the inside of the workshop, and there was nothing of value left, it was obvious that the guard battalion had come forward to clean it up.
And Liu Xie stayed here alone, it seems that he was waiting for him.
Just when Qiu Changhe was in doubt, Liu Xie told him: Pay attention to find out if there are any suspicious people among the people watching the lanterns. If so, even if you take the prisoner, remember to restrain the cell boss and the jailer, and do not let people approach the person until the matter is clear.
From these few words, Qiu Changhe heard a strong smell of conspiracy.
He believed that Liu Xie's meaning was the emperor's meaning.
Therefore, although he has been busy all night, when he stands here today to play the announcement, he says ambiguous words. He didn't even dare to say the approximate number of people who were imprisoned, just because Liu Xie told him that he would be arrested.
Although this is arrested, how many people are being talked about? He didn't know.
So, he didn't dare to say anything until he figured out the situation.
Those who were caught, he only dared to put them in prison as they were, and did not interrogate. The people below must also be instructed to keep strict care of the suspects in custody, and no one is allowed to listen to and question them before the trial.
As it turned out, his corresponding strategy was correct. The emperor did not reprimand him for not giving anything of value, but with a dark face, he said: "Last year was a very good year, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was supposed to be a day of celebration for all the people, was destroyed by a fire and some evil people, and this danger to the country and the people must not be tolerated." ”
The emperor's words were very general, but where did Qiu Changhe dare to ask for details, and hurriedly agreed: "I will follow Your Majesty's orders, Weichen will strictly investigate this matter, and no fish will be allowed to slip through the net." ”
As for how to investigate strictly, he has no clue at all. Those who take advantage of the chaos to steal and rob are very easy to try, almost all of them are stolen and stolen, and the verdict can be pronounced in court.
But the cause of the fire is difficult, he hasn't even seen a relevant witness, where to check?
If you want to find out the cause of the fire, you can only find Liu Xie. However, after meeting at the Guan family's workshop last night, the guy never showed up again. In this kind of unusual atmosphere everywhere, how dare he shout all over the world to find Liu Xie? Search the e-book
Let's drag it out for the first time and see what happens. Qiu Changhe made a reluctant decision.
The emperor's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood, but he could not find the place of the attack. It took a while to look at the officials who had just expressed their opinions on the fire.
These officials stood in the middle of the main hall, and kept bowing down to report the report, their necks were about to ache, but they couldn't wait for the emperor's words.
They knew that the emperor must be in a bad mood if something so big happened last night.
However, the Guan family workshop that made the emperor feel bad, isn't that the root of all evil? They took advantage of this time to flirt with a few words, didn't they just ignite the emperor's anger?
Why does it seem that things are not going according to their expectations at all?
"Don't you think that what you just said was a little impatient? The cause of the fire has not yet been clarified, so I can't wait to find someone to ask for the guilt, that's how you do it on weekdays? The emperor's tone was very bad, and several officials were also trembling when they heard it.
That's certainly not how they do it. But the Guan family's workshop made your old man so angry, shouldn't you find the Guan family to get this out first?
And what does the emperor mean when he said "they are a little impatient"?
Above the court, because of this sentence, the people who beat the drum in their hearts are not only these few who rushed out to express their opinions. Many people who seemed to be impassive were also flustered when they heard the emperor's meaningful question.
I saw that the emperor had a gloomy face and continued: "What time is it? A lantern festival that was supposed to be celebrated was more than 100 injured, and two people died due to stampede. But you are still camping for your own selfishness, you ask yourself, are you worthy of the support of the court and the people?! ”
As soon as the emperor's words fell, he stood up and threw his sleeves away, which was surprisingly short when the court used it this morning.
Although the emperor was furious and left, King Jing, Chai Mao and others breathed a sigh of relief. The emperor was indeed angry, but the reason for his anger was that the officials did not care about yesterday's disaster, but were thinking about their own personal interests.
That's good, it seems that the emperor is just holding this fire accountable and not suspicious.
Whether it is King Jing or King Chengjun, they all stayed up all night last night.
The person sent by King Chengjun to steal technical materials from the Guan family's workshop came back, and the things were also obtained. But none of the people who helped to do the work were seen, and there was no one until the hour of the morning court and the yamen were up.
King Chengjun was spinning in his study, and his legs were weak all night.
King Jing's side was even more troublesome, it was his people who lit the fire, but he never expected that the chaos caused by the ignition was not limited to the Guan family's workshop, but actually burned to the houses near the workshop, thus causing such a big riot.
Not only that, but the guards he arranged to enter the workshop to steal things were discovered and retreated before they could touch the door, and they had no chance to do so.
Like King Chengjun's side, the guard who stole things came back, but none of the people he arranged for helpers inside and outside were seen.
Where have all these people gone? The main streets of the capital are under control, and they are confined to the streets and it is inconvenient to come back? Or was he found suspicious by the people of Shuntianfu and the Terracotta Division and was arrested and put in prison?
Or was the matter revealed and captured by the guards battalion? This last guess, just thinking about it, is chilling.
