Zhu Changjue disappeared.

It's like the world has evaporated.

It can be seen that he was premeditated and prepared.

His escape plan was complete from the start. The evidence, along with the palace, was burned down, and the death of a person was like a lamp extinguished, and his charges disappeared automatically, and the family that took refuge in him was relieved.

The Dou and Miao clans were willing to cooperate with him to act without scruples, and they confirmed early on that they would be fine.

The emperor would not kill them for the sake of prestige, and of course, the emperor had no reason to do so, so they just had to wait for the return of the man, and continue to cooperate with the next step if necessary.

And when the side door came out in the morning, it was never to divert the tiger from the mountain, but to let the guards jump into the trap in full view of everyone and become a suspect in arson.

And after Zhu Changjue knew that Li Chun had never gone south, he gritted his teeth and understood that he had been fooled.

But now that the road has been walked, he has no regrets.

Without military power, he had long been prepared to embark on today's road.

He only glanced back indifferently in the direction of the capital.

The hundred-legged insect is still dead but not stiff, and he only needs to rebuild his strength after operating for many years and wait for an opportunity. Soon, he will return in another form.

He couldn't help pursing his lips, "Zhu Changrui, you have to fight!" This king has to wait for you to do it first, don't disappoint this king! ”

Zhu Changjue just hid in the vast sea of people......

A fire in the Jue Palace's Mansion was so shocking and tragic that the public's attention was well diverted.

The huge and gorgeous palace was reduced to ruins, and the hustle and bustle of the past was carried out by a charred corpse, and under the rendering of cries and screams, it looked extremely desolate and terrifying.

Zhu Changjue is still ruthless.

After the fire broke out in the main courtyard, almost all the subordinates and a large number of guards in the entire palace were attracted to put out the fire.

At that time, the fire had already burned the cross-courtyard where the little emperor and grandson lived on both sides.

Who would have expected that there would be several explosions in the courtyard one after another. Not only did it cause a large number of casualties, but it also expanded the fire.

The people who put out the fire on the front line were the first to be affected, and many people became dead and burning people on the spot.

In the courtyard, the nurse hugged the little emperor and grandson and cried, and the scene of Princess Dou and Concubine Miao crying and fainting at the scene remained in the minds of many people.

The firefighters worked hard.

But the fire is still spreading......

This fire, burning from morning to night, made dozens of people up and down the main courtyard, including "Zhu Changjue", not survive, plus the firefighters who were burned to death and killed by serious injuries, the death of the entire Jue Wangfu reached hundreds.

Not to mention the wounded.

This is exactly what Zhu Changjue wants.

The more dead and wounded, the bigger the fire, the more it proves that this fire is man-made, the more it proves the ruthlessness of the arsonist, and the more it proves the weakness of the Jue Wangfu.

As a result, the previous abuse of Jue Wangfu also turned into sighs and pity.

Looking at the miserable situation and smelling the scorching stench in the air for a long time, many people had a lot of opinions about the guards who blocked the door of King Jue's Mansion at that time.

In the eyes of most people, if the guards had not forcibly locked the door, if they had not stopped it in the first place, if they had not delayed, the fire would not have spread, those innocent children and subordinates would not have died, and the consequences would not have been so miserable.

Everyone who looks at it thinks that the guards in the palace are deliberately obstructing something......

What's more, the casualties in the Jue Palace's mansion were so great, but only a few of these guards were injured, and none of them were dead or seriously injured. Obviously, their so-called firefighting behavior is not doing their best at all.

This made the people more disdainful of the court guards.

Especially after the cause of the explosion was announced by the government, it was because of a large number of fireworks piled up in the courtyards on both sides......

The people did not believe.

Who would pile up flammable and explosive materials in their children's homes? Or is it close to the main courtyard? These things will be properly stored even if they are small households, okay? Not to mention those big families, this kind of thing is placed in a special warehouse.

Many people feel that such a statement simply does not hold water. Unbelief!

Soon, the steward of the Jue Wangfu came out from the front yard with a purchase book to prove that the Jue Wangfu had not bought a firecracker for five months.

If it is a large-scale purchase, it is impossible not to go through the accounting office......

There was an uproar among the people. Sure enough, it was the government that was hiding something.

What's even more intriguing, is there anyone who wants to put the Jue Wangfu to death, even the two little emperors and grandchildren? When Wei Hong had a miscarriage at the mansion gate, the reason why those guards were so ruthless and refused to seek medical treatment was probably because they hoped that the child would not survive!

So, in addition to the emperor, the crown prince was also involved in criticism because of his huge suspicions, making him so angry that his tongue was sore, but he couldn't defend himself.

Compared with the crown prince, the emperor gradually calmed down after a short period of anger. He has been in his position for decades, what kind of storms and waves have not been experienced, and such words will not have much impact on him at all.

After all, the people are forgetful. After a few days, give some small favors, and no one will remember it.

Right now, the emperor just wants to find that rebel as soon as possible!

His thorough investigation this time was not completely fruitless, at least he found out a lot of poison that had been hidden under the decoration.

In Beijing, although it is on the cusp of the storm, under the high level of attention, some people and some families are temporarily unable to move, but it does not prevent the emperor from starting to exert pressure openly and secretly. If he is obedient, he may be patient.

Otherwise, he would not have allowed those who had different intentions.

As for Jiangnan, the emperor naturally won't put up with it anymore.

Because Li Chun went south to fake, the emperor knew about it, but he deceived Zhu Changjue. It shows that there are indeed ghosts in Jiangnan.

This made the emperor's heart palpitate.

The emperor directly issued an order, first suspended the Jiangnan Salt Patrol Imperial History and the political envoy Feng Yuan and several other suspected minions of Zhu Changjue, and sent several imperial historians to the local area to thoroughly investigate salt affairs and others.

But the emperor still didn't expect that the eldest son would move faster.

In Yangzhou, several major families that had been exposed even abandoned the salt farm, and fled before the arrival of the imperial history with only the salt ship.

Kang Anbo's previous stay in Yangzhou discovered the whereabouts of one of the salt merchants who had escaped, and quickly dispatched ships to pursue them, but the other party was more familiar with the complex and dense river network in the south of the Yangtze River than Kang Anbo's subordinates, who were good at naval warfare, and took advantage of the terrain and quickly assembled the ship's makeover to get rid of the pursuers.

Therefore, in Yangzhou, although a lot of moths were found that sold salt and took salt buckles privately, several big fish that showed their whereabouts were gone. As soon as the clue is broken, it is even more difficult to continue to follow the vine.

Feng Yuan is even more angry there.

The saint originally planned to interrogate him secretly, but he didn't know that he had made a big deal out of it.

When people came to the capital, he directly took a rope and hung it at the entrance of the yamen to hang himself, saying that "the soldier can be killed but not humiliated", saying "worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth", "living up to the grace of the mighty emperor and living up to the people of Li", "only seeking to be worthy of my heart, only to repay justice to me as soon as possible, and only to ask that the villain cannot succeed"......

Feng Yuan's official voice is very good, and such a fuss has caused an uproar. knew that he was interrogated by the imperial court, but the people felt that he was plotted by a "villain". For a while, the voice asking for a thorough investigation of Feng Yuan's petition became louder.

Someone with a heart is stirring up the wind and rain, and gradually stirring up the voice of the imperial court persecuting Qing officials......

In fact, Feng Yuan's hands and feet are clean, and there is really no evidence in the imperial court.

As a result, Feng Yuan did not die, and created a problem for the imperial court.

Pick it up and settle down. Laissez-faire, who can rest assured?

In any case, he could no longer stay in that important position.

The emperor was re-transferred, intending to send Feng Yuan to Beijing first.

But Feng Yuan was assassinated the day before he left and died at home.

His wife, along with many other people in the house, was murdered.

The Feng family said that last night was calm and no outsiders broke into the mansion.

As a result, the chamberlains and officers and soldiers from the capital were suddenly suspected. Who else could it be but them?

In the eyes of many people, although the imperial court changed Feng Yuan's arraignment to a transfer, it was obviously forced. But the supremacy of imperial power, how can it be manipulated by the people? So, is it the assassination of Mingsheng above? ……

Moreover, the Jiangnan region under Feng Yuan's rule has always been stable, how could such a bad assassination occur? How could they not kill sooner rather than later, but the day before entering Beijing, when the family was full of officers and soldiers inside and out? Can the officers and soldiers ignore such a big thing and let it happen?

If you don't believe it, you can't!

Therefore, it is very likely that the murderers are these officers and soldiers......

The emperor was deflated again, and naturally knew that no matter whether Feng Yuan was willing to die or not, it was still Zhu Changjue's handiwork. Sure enough, they went all the way! It is easy to do things among acquaintances, and it is not difficult to hide from the officers and soldiers.

After all, only when a dead person can't open his mouth will he not succumb to torture.

The emperor's anger was transferred to Concubine Jin.

Due to auspicious accusations and evidence, Concubine Jin had several previously confirmed crimes that had not been convicted. The emperor spoke: According to the crime of the concubine, he should have been defeated in the cold palace for the rest of his life, but remembering his many years of serving and raising the prince, he only won his title and was demoted to the lowest level of the concubine, and moved out of the main hall of Yikun Palace.

The Empress Dowager temporarily placed Zhang in a dark room in Cining Palace.

There, every day, there are people who change different methods and means to pry open Zhang Promise's mouth, but Zhang Promise is determined to preserve his son's last strength, so he refuses to speak.

No matter what she asked, she didn't know anything.

Later, when I couldn't bear it anymore, the pillar was also hit and my tongue was bitten, but they were all rescued.

If you can't die, you can only face daily interrogation and torture......

On the other side, the "King Jue" and the two little "imperial grandsons" who were burned beyond recognition were buried in a grand manner.

Wei Hong was also rescued.

As a result, her child is gone, and she will not be able to have children for the rest of her life.

When she woke up, she almost went crazy.

What she was suffering was not that she was used, it wasn't that Zhu Changjue didn't take her away. It was what Wang Yue said to her.

"When you came to Cining Palace to act, the Queen Mother saw through you and gave you a chance. If you had taken refuge in the Queen Mother at that time, the Queen Mother would definitely protect you and leave you in the palace. Then, you don't have to take that life-or-death risk. If you hadn't dreamed that unrealistic dream, your child wouldn't have gone.

So today, how proud should you be?

In order to put an end to the rumors that he can't tolerate King Jue and his children, the emperor will definitely leave a piece of Zhu Changjue's bloodline in order to use the identity of King Jue to spread rumors in the future, and he will most likely leave the title of King Jue to this 'posthumous son' in your belly.

Even if it's just to put an end to the leisurely crowds of people in the world. Even if there is no prince's blessing, there must be a title.

And you, although you are only a concubine, as the only closest relative and mother of the child, the emperor will definitely give you a decree in order to express the great imperial grace. You will become a true nobleman, a lady of the high, and you will be the only master of your house while you are young.

Even if other princes succeed to the throne in the future, in view of the fact that you orphans and widows will not do anything to you, but will show mercy and give you the greatest care. Wealth and glory in hand, isn't that the biggest pursuit in your life, everything you want the most?

They were only one step away from you, but you didn't even look at the road, and you said, what opportunity did you miss? ”

Wang Yue looked at the face that was so stunned that she almost collapsed, and couldn't help but brush her hair.

"But right now, you really have nothing. There are no children, no palace, no man, and you have to cooperate with the investigation. Your fate depends on whether your father has borne the debt. One thought, heaven and earth. ”

Weizhi County is also under investigation.

In conclusion, Jingxi has been the same for decades, and there is nothing abnormal. Wei Zhixian is clean, and it seems that he has a simple "in-law" relationship with Zhu Changjue, and nothing else.

This is also something that Cheng Ziyu has not figured out to this day.

For Zhu Changjue, where is the utilization point of Wei Hong and Wei Zhixian?

After Wei Zhixian's investigation was over, it was obvious that the imperial court would not let him stay in Jingxi. He knew that the order issued because of Zhu Changjue would definitely be very bad, and nine times out of ten it would be a remote and bitter cold land.

In the end, he is also a ruthless person, on the day the investigation ended, Wei Zhixian fell down the mountain, broke his leg, and was lame.

So, he took the initiative to express his willingness to resign from his official position to recuperate, and the court hesitated.

After Wei Zhixian took the initiative to donate three-quarters of his property, the imperial court's approval came down. That's right.

Wei Zhixian sent a letter to Wei Hong, indicating that she should beg the Queen Mother and come back to Jingxi to reunite with the family.

But Wei Hong was deeply trapped in the pain caused by that missed opportunity, and her weak body and hopeless future made her unable to find the meaning of life.

Get back? What to do when you go back?

It's almost the same as returning home, wouldn't it become a joke for the whole Jingxi when she went back like this?

Her father didn't have an official hat, and the Wang family had abandoned them, so would they be embarrassed to go back and guard one acre and three points of land? She couldn't stand it.

She would rather wait in the capital for an ethereal hope. She has done so much for him, and since he is not dead, he will definitely come back. At that time, seeing that she is still in the same place, then when he talks about meritorious deeds, he will not forget her, right?

After all, Princess Dou and Concubine Miao are also waiting in the capital!

Wei Hong didn't know that this time of hers, it was still a mistake, she failed to understand his father's meaning, which made her lose another opportunity......
