Chapter 213: The Library Pavilion is burned
On October 30, at the end of the month, the moon refused to contribute even a trace of light, and the sky was pitch black.
On this day, there were snowflakes in the sky, a thin layer of snow on the ground, on the roof, and on the leaves, and the cold wind whined.
A tall white figure, under the cover of the night that was so black that he couldn't see his fingers, hurried in the cold wind and snowy night, dodging the night guards and beating the guards, like a white ghost, quietly crossed the wall, sneaked into the Yushitai, and set a fire wherever he passed.
The fire wasn't placed anywhere else, it happened to be in the library.
Although the books in the library are not yet fully organized, they are not piled up with waste like before, which leads to the fact that each room is well ventilated, and naturally, the books burn quickly.
Many of the people stationed in the Imperial Observatory were ordered to stick to their posts, and the fire broke out for no reason, and there was an abnormality at first glance, and for a while, no one dared to leave their position at will to put out the fire.
After a while, the fire burned brightly, and the fire was so strong that the entire library was like a huge bonfire, illuminating half of the sky in the remote capital.
The only good thing is that this library is a separate house, connected to the other houses by a corridor, and as long as the fire in the corridor is controlled, it can prevent other places from being affected.
Cai Baofang, who was stationed at the Imperial Observatory, mobilized manpower to control the spread of the fire to other places, while keeping others ready to fight at any time.
Wu, who pretended to be a prisoner and accompanied He Cuo to the prison for a few days, heard the noise outside, and his eyes flashed. He leaned against the corner casually, his eyes blank, and gathered the momentum of his whole body, like the most ordinary prisoner, waiting for the arrival of the killer.
That night, they didn't let the killer escape.
The killer was cut off by Wu Ke, and was pierced by Ye Lan with a sword through his shoulder, and when he was desperate, he roared: "Lord, Tie Niu will go first, and the Lord's kindness, Tie Niu will repay it in the next life." ”
Then, he bit the poison sac that had been hidden in his mouth in advance and drank it to death.
In the middle of the night, when the sky-high fire of the Imperial Historical Observatory was blazing, the Yiwang Mansion was also alarmed as a matter of course.
The noise is clearer and travels farther at night than during the day.
Li Qing was woken up in his sleep, rubbed his eyes in a daze, grabbed a large piece of rice and wrapped it around his body, and went outside to see what was going on.
"The direction of the Goshidai is on fire." Chang Le's voice came from above.
Li Qing looked up and saw Chang Le standing on the eaves of the roof, looking into the distance.
Li Qing's drowsiness woke up instantly, and she thought: Could it be that the Iron Bull broke into the Imperial Shitai at night to kill him, right? !
She subconsciously wanted to run to see, just ran two steps, felt that her feet didn't feel right, only then did she find that she ran out without shoes, and hurried back to the room to get dressed and put on shoes, and then ran to find Hua Xiao.
At this time, Hua Xiao was no longer in the palace, and he got up and went out as early as the moment he got the news.
"Is it true that the Imperial Observatory was burned?" Li Qingwen asked the guards who stayed in the palace to be in charge of the palace guards.
The guard said, "Yes." ”
"Where was the Goshidai burned?" Li Qing asked again, "Who burned it?" ”
The guard said, "It was said that the Iron Bull burned down the Library." ”
Li Qing was stunned-
Library Library?!
She came up with a plan to gather the library that people had worked so hard to sort out?!
