"What, so many dead? What the hell is going on! β
On the second day, when the prince learned about what had happened last night, he was furious.
He Hai was shocked, and hurriedly knelt down: "My lord, the fire is really too fierce, and my subordinates have to make this decision!" β
The incident happened suddenly, at that time he was teaching those who intended to escape and did not give up, and also killed two killers and monkeys, but he never expected that it would suddenly catch fire, and it burned so violently!
There was chaos at the moment, and not only the guards and guards fled in a hurry, but even he was stunned. And the families of the nobles who were imprisoned, the young ladies were frightened and wronged one by one, but now when they saw that there was a fire, they suddenly panicked.
Some thought that the county guard was going to put them to death, so they simply set fire to them and burned them to death. Some of them were frightened and fainted, and then they were smoked to death, some were trampled to death in panic, and some of them rushed into the fire and burned to death in the chaos......
Thinking of last night's scene, He Hai trembled all over, and still has palpitations.
If he hadn't forcibly led people to lock the door at the end, I was afraid that these locked people would really escape.
Looking at Guan Hou Tieqing's face, He Hai said cautiously: "But my lord, even if more than thirty people are burned to death, it is better than them escaping and talking nonsense, right?" That's why the villain was ruthless for a while, so he didn't do anything endlessly......"
His face sank, and Guan Hou slapped it heavily on the table: "Bastard!" β
"Your Excellency!" He Hai was frightened and hurriedly kowtowed.
"Damn, these people simply don't know the times! Since you are disobedient, then if you die, you will die, but it is not the county guard, it is you who asked for it......" Guan Hou's gloomy face, gritting his teeth and saying, He Hai understood that he was not scolding himself, and breathed a sigh of relief.
After Guan Hou vented and slowly calmed down, He Haicai asked, "Then my lord, what should I do now?" β
Negative hands paced back and forth in the room, half loud, Guan Hou's eyes were cold and said: "Go, deal with it quickly, bury these people quietly, and no one is allowed to leak out......"
"But my lord, so many people saw ...... last night"
"It's your business! This county guards no matter, if the news leaks and someone knows something, you don't have to live! β
"Yes, my lord! The subordinates will do it. β
Outside the window, a figure flashed away, and no one noticed.
Returning to the inn set up in Lingxi City by the Dark Night Hall, Yuan Xingjiang said what he had just heard: "Lord Wang, sure enough, this fire is related to the county guard!" Dozens of lives were burned alive by his people, just because they were afraid that they would leak something, but it was a pity...... I didn't hear the reason from them just now, but my subordinates concluded that there must be a conspiracy. β
"Lord Wang, it's already so clear, do you want to arrest this county guard directly?" Xu Wei asked.
Nalan Ye sat on the chair, his sword eyebrows frowning slightly, and he didn't make a sound.
If the matter could be solved so simply, His Majesty would not have sent him personally. And it is also an unannounced investigation, which shows that there must be no mistakes in this trip, otherwise it will be out of control, and a riot will break out.
He naturally began to suspect the reason for the collusion between Guan Hou and Nangong Wan'er, it was very likely that it was a bad intention, or even a rebellion! The number of troops in the hands of Lenovo Guan Hou is 100,000, although not all of them may obey his orders, but as long as there are means to buy it, it is not impossible.
As for the other cities in North County, in order to prevent turmoil, they basically did not set up too many troops to prevent the remnants of North Vietnam from taking advantage of them. If Guan Hou really rebelled, then these cities had no defense at all, and they would only retreat in front of an army of 100,000 and bow down.
Suddenly, Nalan Ye was shocked!
In this way, if Guan Hou rebelled, it would be really easy, because the special situation in Beijun now created an excellent opportunity for him. As long as he is ambitious, this kind of opportunity can catalyze his ** and put him on the road of no return completely.
"It's true that you can visit Guan Hou." Nalan Ye said lightly, and put down the teacup he was holding.
"Lord Wang, didn't you say that it was secretly investigated?" Yuan Xing was surprised.
"Visit, can't you secretly investigate?" Nalan Ye seemed to be smiling, and he seemed unfathomable.
β¦β¦
Three days later.
The people in Shangshanju seem to know nothing, and they are still idle every day, as if they regard the City Lord's Mansion as their home. Eating and drinking every day, except that he can't go out at will, he is like a relative of the county guard, which attracts some servants and subordinates to talk about it and is very disdainful.
As soon as he came back from Ci'an Hall, Mu Xiaosu saw everyone gathered together, and it seemed that there was something important.
"What's wrong, senior sister, is something wrong?"
Long Ning was just halfway through speaking, and when he saw Mu Xiaosu coming back, his face was very serious: "Xiao Su, close the door and come here." β
didn't pay much attention to Mu Xiaosu, several people were discussing the news they had just heard, their faces were gloomy. Long Ning looked at Long Kai, as if he was going to do something big, very gloomy: "I can't imagine that it's been three days, and the impact of this fire has not been eliminated by this county guard, it's just ......."
Leng Li nodded, and he didn't expect that the power of this Guan Hou was so great: "Except for the people who were implicated in the burned houses, there are only more than a dozen, and the others don't care about themselves, so they naturally don't care." And the city lord's mansion has put up a notice saying that it can compensate some of the money for reconstruction. These people were supposed to repair their own houses, but now they can get some compensation, and it's too late to be happy, where will they go to make trouble! β
Slammed the table hard, Chen Hu said angrily: "This county guard is really cunning!" β
Mu Xiaosu also sat down, put down a painting given to him by Mrs. Guan, and said casually: "It turns out that everyone is talking about the county guard!" By the way, it seems that there is a big man in the castle lord's mansion today, and the county keeper is meeting guests. β
Big shot?
When several people heard this, they immediately looked at Mu Xiaosu, Long Kai looked shocked, and asked, "Xiao Su, what big man is here, how do you know?" β
Mu Xiaosu said with a smile: "I heard what the maid in the front yard said, it seems that some official from the capital is there, I don't know what the specific matter is." β
"Uncle Shi, do you hear me, this is the opportunity." Leng Li looked at Long Kai, with happiness between his eyebrows, and reminded.
"What do you mean?"
"Since it doesn't work to kill so many people, it's obvious that this county guard has already made preparations, and it's normal for Uncle and Sister Bai to work hard. But if we assassinate this official from the capital again, I'm afraid that even if Guan Hou wants to hide it, there is no way, right? β
Long Kai nodded slowly: "This is an opportunity!" If we kill the officials from the capital, and the place where the accident happened is still the city lord's mansion, how do I think this steward will explain? Needless to say, naturally someone will investigate the matter, and then he is only afraid that there will be something good-looking. β
"That's what it means!"
Leng Li said: "Even if you can't kill this official, as long as you are injured, I'm afraid that Guan Hou won't be able to pay the difference, and as long as you check it at that time, Guan Hou's plan can only be suppressed." That way, we'll be able to buy more time. β
"That's good!" Long Kai nodded, "Without further ado, the officials from the capital are in the front yard, and they will do it immediately." β
Leng Li stood up: "Uncle Shi, I'll go."
"No need." Long Kai rejected his request, looked at Long Ning and said, "Ning'er, it's better for you to go." Your senior brother's leg injury has not healed, such a big matter, in case there is a bad pool, it will be troublesome. You're a girl, you can just pretend to be a servant girl, and you won't attract attention. β
"Uncle Shi, I'm fine, let's go, don't let my sister take risks."
As soon as Leng Li's words were finished, Long Ning had already stood up: "Don't fight, just decide, senior brother, or I'll go." β
Soon, Long Ning found a set of maidservant clothes to change into, and dressed up slightly, and the difference was almost impossible to see in appearance. She walked carefully to the front yard, and happened to meet the maid who was going to deliver tea, Long Ning immediately knocked her unconscious, dragged her to a side room, and walked towards the front with tea.
As soon as she walked into the front yard, the housekeeper Zhang Ping beckoned to her: "You girl, why don't you go in for a long time?" β
Seeing that Steward Zhang didn't recognize her, Long Ning breathed a sigh of relief and entered the hall with tea without saying a word. Long Ning, who lowered his eyebrows and was pleasing to the eye, used the corner of his eye to glance at the official from the capital who was sitting at the top.
At this glance, she couldn't help but be stunned, was it the mysterious man who chased her that night!
How could he be in the City Lord's Mansion...... Could it be that he is the official from the capital?
While thinking, Long Ning put the tea on the table, but he didn't dare to look at the man at all, for fear of being detected by him.
"Hehehehe...... Since the adults have come to Lingxi, they can stay for a few more days, and the official will accompany them to see the scenery of Beiyue everywhere. Guan Hou smiled attentively, without any hypocrisy.
As if he was a different person, Nalan did not show half coldness, but nodded with a reserved smile.
The entourage standing behind him was naturally Yuan Xing, and he immediately said, "Well, thank you for guarding the county." When I was in the capital, my family heard that this North Vietnamese scenery has a unique style, and the county guard invited me so warmly, so my family stayed here for a few days. However, my lord only came to inform the county guard on the order of His Majesty, and he was in a hurry to return to Beijing to resume his life, and he would not stay long. β
Guan Hou immediately smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, the lower officials know that the adults are busy, and they have come from thousands of miles, and they are already hard working adults." The lower official has already ordered someone to prepare a meal, so the adult might as well move the car and the lower official accompany the adult to have a drink? β
Seeing that they were about to leave, Long Ning couldn't hesitate any longer.
With a fierce look in her eyes, she had already taken out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed it at the man above.
At this moment, Nalan Ye had already clasped Long Ning's hand like lightning, his eyes swept away, and he was about to crush the other party's wrist, but he let go. He never imagined that the person who had glimpsed three days ago would meet here, it was too much of a coincidence.
At this time, Guan Hou was stunned and shouted: "Someone, there are assassins!" β
