Chapter 33: A Great Fire Falls from the Sky

Shen Lingjun made a trip to the yamen and asked Li Yi to send people to take turns guarding the small courtyard rented by An Ge, just watching from a distance, and not allowing the grass to startle the snake.

When I came out of the yamen, I saw Yu Deshui running from one end of the corridor to the other, and I didn't even see her standing on the side.

Shen Lingjun looked at Yu Deshui curiously, and asked Li Yi: "The county government has been so busy these days?" ”

Li Yi held back a smile and shook his head: "Where, it's Lord Yu who is busy." ”

Shen Lingjun blinked when he heard that there was something in this: "What's the matter?" ”

Li Yi said in a low voice: "The specifics are not clear, it seems to be because of his nephew." ”

was not interested in other people's family affairs, so Shen Lingjun didn't ask any more, explained that Li Yi was optimistic about people, and left.

As soon as he stepped out of the gate of the county government, there was a muffled thunder rumbling sound in the distance, looking like it was about to rain heavily.

However, until Shen Lingjun returned to Su Mansion, the rain did not fall, but the dark clouds receded, revealing a glimmer of clear light.

Shen Lingjun walked into the courtyard, Ye Qingzhi and they were drinking tea under the wisteria trellis, in addition to a pot of tea on the table, a few fruit snacks, and some paper letters. Luo Cheng also came back and was talking to Zhao Qi.

Shen Lingjun walked over and sat next to Su Musha, poured himself tea and drank it, and asked, "What are these?" ”

Ye Qingzhi held a teacup and listened to the wind and admired the flowers, and said: "Evidence of Yu Deshui's corruption and bribery." ”

Shen Lingjun stretched out his hand and took it and looked at it: "I said why is he in a hurry to walk like Fei today, hey, who did he offend, it's quite detailed." ”

Zhao Qi lifted the lid of the tea: "I just see that this old boy is not honest, and he can check so much material casually." ”

Shen Lingjun understood, and sighed in his heart that Yu Deshui was gone, who was offended and offended Zhao Qi, looked over with a smile, and said, "When did Yu Deshui offend you?" ”

"It's not pleasing to the eye." Zhao Qi pursed his lips and said, "Luocheng, just sort out these materials and hand them over to our Lord Shen, and let Lord Shen deal with them." ”

Los Angeles nodded: "Yes." He turned to Shen Lingjun and said with a grin: "Lord Shen, we can help you arrest a big corrupt official." ”

Shen Lingjun twitched the corners of his mouth: "That's really tiring." "She has a bunch of things on her own, and this has something to do for her.

L.A. laughed and said, "It's easy to say." ”

Shen Lingjun shook his head, how did Yu Deshui offend this big Buddha, it is estimated that his ancestors have been investigated for eight generations, and he can't help but sympathize with Yu Deshui.

Luo Cheng finished sorting out the paper and letters on the table, and said: "Regarding Jin Yuan, I checked, he is an official who resigned in 675 of the Shangyuan Dynasty. ”

"Shangyuan 675......" Zhao Qi touched his chin and thought: "Fifteen years ago, Jin Yuan should not be too old, why did he resign." ”

Luo Cheng pursed the corners of his mouth and nodded, and said: "There is a more interesting thing, back then, Liangzhou was secretly expanding its power in the area of the former dynasty, recruiting troops and buying horses, with bad intentions, and then the old general Su Yuzheng noticed it and led the troops to exterminate it in one fell swoop, and finally found that Huang Guangwei, a senior official of the dynasty, was actually involved, and the emperor was furious and severely punished a cadre, etc., and soon after this matter subsided, Jin Yuan resigned from the government due to illness. ”

"Liangzhou, ...... to the west" Shen Lingjun touched his chin and looked at the sky, thinking: "Will there be some connection?" ”

Ye Qingzhi pushed off a layer of tea foam with the tea lid, and said casually: "Jin Yuan is not the master of the west who keeps claiming it, maybe there are remnants that survived, but it is unknown. ”

Zhao Qi nodded: "Now it seems that Jin Yuan is hiding here and secretly plotting." ”

Su Musha raised his hand to brush away the wisteria petals that fell on the hem of his white clothes, lowered his eyes and said: "Listening to Jin Yuan's tone, the Ice Heart Pavilion may not start from scratch as Fang Zhixuan said, but it is still in their hands, maybe it is to use the Ice Heart Pavilion to plan the silver two, in order to make a comeback." ”

"But ......," Shen Lingjun frowned and said, "If the last time I met with Jin Yuan was Lord Jianxi, that is, the current head of the Ice Heart Pavilion, I don't think their internal relationship is stable." ”

Su Musha raised his eyes to look at her: "Or after a long time, the Ice Heart Pavilion has changed hands several times, and they are no longer able to control the people in charge of the Ice Heart Pavilion." ”

As he was talking, he flew in from outside the wall during the play, first threw himself on the table and stuffed a pastry in his mouth, and then said, "Jin Yuan met the masked sissy again just now." ”

"What did you say?" Others asked.

"Hmm~" thumped his chest during the play, and choked on eating too quickly.

Luo Cheng directly poured the teapot into his mouth: "You should eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”

During the play, I finally gasped for breath, rubbed my heart that was a little suffocating, and when I saw that everyone was looking at me, I grabbed my hair very embarrassed.

"Talk about Jin Yuan." Zhao Qi kicked over.

jumped away during the play, and replied: "Listening to the dialogue, the two should have fallen out, they didn't talk about it, the sissy went her own way, and she didn't obey Jin Yuan at all, and said that although Jin Yuan was nominally the manager of Bingxin Pavilion, in fact, he had no right to interfere now." ”

Shen Lingjun asked: "What else?" ”

During the play, he drank tea and said: "It's gone, and then the sissy will leave by herself regardless of Jin Yuan." ”

"Didn't mention the master of the west or anything?"

Blinked during the play: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Luo Cheng knocked on the head of the play: "What is Jin Yuan's reaction to these words." ”

"Oh, yes!" The expression during the play turned solemn: "After that person left, Jin Yuan recruited a subordinate to go in, saying that he wanted him to send a letter to the master, to get rid of the sissy, and find someone to take over the Bingxin Pavilion again." ”

"So, this is an internal split first?" Shen Lingjun chuckled.

Zhao Qi raised his eyebrows: "Dog eats dog." ”

Everyone nodded in surprise, and sure enough, as they guessed, the current person in charge of the Ice Heart Pavilion was not convinced by Jin Yuan, which was a good thing for them.

"Find someone to follow the men sent by Jin Yuan." Zhao Qi smiled treacherously: "Maybe you will touch someone's nest." ”

During the play, he took another piece of pastry and invited his face: "I have already sent someone to follow me, I will come back and tell the general about this first." ”

Zhao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Luocheng, you still have to go on a trip in person, and continue to go back to Jin Yuan to stare at the play." ”

Los Angeles and the play received their own orders and acted separately.

Su Musha looked at Zhao Qi: "Are you worried that person won't be able to get there?" ”

Zhao Qi glanced at Su Musha, he quite understood his thoughts, and nodded very straightforwardly: "At present, this Lord Jianwei is scheming and calculating, so he sent An Ge to monitor Jin Yuan at the beginning, and it is impossible for him not to guard against Jin Yuan." ”

Sure enough, as Zhao Qi expected, after a few hours, Luo Cheng came back and said, "The people were assassinated as soon as they left the city, and our people also died." ”

Shen Lingjun sighed: "Then now he should also know that we are staring at Jin Yuan." ”

At dinnertime, someone came to find Su Musha and Shen Lingjun, and when they went out, they saw that it was Fang Zhixuan's subordinates. The other party said that for some reason, many contact points in the Ice Heart Pavilion disappeared out of thin air overnight, and suddenly the world evaporated, and Fang Zhixuan couldn't do what he promised, which was really ashamed, but he would think about it to see if there was any other way.

Shen Lingjun watched the person leave, knocked his chin and said, "Sure enough, I still startled the poisonous snake." ”

Su Musha raised the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Since you are shocked, then hit him seven inches." ”

In the middle of the night, thunder roared, bringing torrential rain.

Shen Lingjun was greedy to open the window to sleep, but at this time, the rain was fierce, and it rushed in, but it wet the thin quilt.

Shen Lingjun got up from the bed and planned to close the window, saying in his heart that the rain had been held for a day, and it had finally come down.

However, when I walked to the window, I felt that it was really cool, so I simply closed half of it, moved the chaise longue behind the closed window, and slept soundly.

After the rainstorm, the sun was still shining on the second day, and the sun had risen high in the morning, and it was scorching straight down.

Shen Lingjun was illuminated behind the window, turned over, his butt facing outward, and planned to sleep back. With his hand on the pillow, his fingers touched something cool, and he was confused for a while, only then did he remember that it was the piece of jade that Su Mu had given him.

Squinting his eyes and sticking the jade on his face, it feels so cool, and there is a little light fragrance. Shen Lingjun hooked the corners of his mouth, and a smile appeared in confusion, inexplicably feeling that this fragrance was a little sweet.

"Adult~Adult~" The tranquility of the early morning was broken by Li Yi's shouting all the way.

Ye Qingzhi just pushed the door out, looked at Li Yi, who was always in a hurry, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yi may have been in a bit of a hurry on the road, and he took two breaths before saying, "Miss Ye, you should also go and take a look, Jingling Village caught fire last night, and many people were injured." ”

Ye Qingzhi didn't understand what he meant: "Who is on fire in Jingling Village?" ”

Li Yi frowned and said, "It's not anyone's family, it's everyone's family!" ”

At this moment, everyone who heard the movement gathered together, and Shen Lingjun said, "Tell me what's going on from the beginning." ”

Li Yi scooped a big bowl of well water from the side, drank it in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and said: "Didn't the adults keep telling me to send someone to guard Jingling Village, last night the third son was on an errand, he said that in the middle of the night, he suddenly saw a fluttering white shadow, and then a fire fell from the sky, and the whole house burned in an instant, and then he looked at other houses, all of them were on fire, if it wasn't for a rainstorm." I'm afraid they're all burned to death. ”

When the incident happened suddenly, everyone hurriedly took their mounts and galloped all the way to Jingling Village.

When I arrived at Jingling Village, I saw that the village, which was not rich but clean and quiet, was now shrouded in a scorched smoke. Some of them collapsed half of the roofs, and some of them collapsed entirely, and these walls that sheltered them from the wind and rain could not support themselves now, and they looked crumbling.

Officers and soldiers temporarily erected shelters to house the wounded, and in addition to some crying in low voices, many more looked at their homes that had been charred overnight.

Everyone frowned, Ye Qingzhi carried the medicine box and went over to check on the injured, and Zhao Qi also followed.

Su Mu went around the house to check the situation, and Shen Lingjun asked Li Yi to call the little third son over for questioning. The third son, formerly known as Xu Ming, is the third in the family, and because of his short stature, he is always shorter than those of the same age, so everyone is used to calling him the third son.

The third son, Xu Ming, walked over, hugged his fists and said, "My lord." ”

Shen Lingjun nodded at him and asked, "Who did you go on an errand with last night?" ”

Xu Ming said: "Chen Agou, but when the fire started, he said to pee, as far as I saw, I howled at the time, and Chen Agou's kid was so scared that he almost peed in his crotch." ”

Shen Lingjun omitted the stubble of Chen A's dog diaper crotch, and then asked, "Tell me what the situation was at that time, and you can't miss anything." ”
