Chapter 58: Getting to the Bottom of the Matter



At this time, Xu Tianya, who had just been pointed out and couldn't move, was also let go, although he was disgraced, he was not in a hurry, and after wiping the dust on his face slightly, he slowly bowed his hand to Feng Jiuge: "The grass people have seen the prince." ”

"At this time, there is no need to be polite, compared to this, this king is still more curious about why you are here." Feng Jiuge glanced at Xu Tianya indifferently, and frowned slightly, he did know that a man appeared in Zhanglou, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to make things bigger, but he didn't expect that the person who appeared was this irrelevant Xu Tianya.

Xu Tianya's heart is also very cramped at the moment, the original plan was carried out well, but now it seems that it is chaotic, where did this King Changping come from, it stands to reason that the Zhanglou caught fire, and the Guozijian should not have gotten the news so early, looking at the reaction of the King of Changping, he didn't even know that he was not in the Guozijian, and the King of Changping didn't even know what was going on in the Guozijian, but he knew that the Zhanglou was on fire

Xu Tianya thought of this, his heart jumped, and he immediately hated himself for his mistake, and at the same time, he also made up his mind that he must not reveal that he had anything to do with the fire in Zhanglou, otherwise he would definitely become the target of this King of Changping in the future.

After making up his mind, Xu Tianya straightened up and bowed slightly to King Changping: "Back to the prince's words, the grass people don't know why they are here, the grass people originally took advantage of the middle of the exam to come out to rest for a while, but as soon as they went out, they fainted, and when they woke up, they were brought to the prince." ”

"Oh, this is strange, this thief just set fire, why should he capture an irrelevant person and throw it to Zhanglou" Feng Jiuge raised his eyebrows, his face full of suspicion.

"Yes, the grass people are also puzzled, this thief and the grass people have no grievances and no hatred, how can they not get along with the grass people" Xu Tianya frowned slightly, shook his head and sighed.

Feng Jiu Ge glanced at Xu Tianya with a smile, and then turned his eyes to look at the still smoking Zhang Lou: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, when you find the person who set the fire, everything will be clear." ”

Xu Tianya's heart sank, this King of Changping really still doubted him, it seemed that in order to clear his suspicion, he had to do something: "Speaking of which, I haven't asked the prince how he knew the news of the fire in Zhanglou so quickly"

As soon as Xu Tianya's words came out, Feng Jiuge's face also stiffened, and only then did he hear the secret guard report that the Zhanglou was on fire, his first reaction was that Ye Tanghua was in danger, so he hurriedly came with the guards, and he didn't care about the problem of time at all, but now after Xu Tianya asked like this, he couldn't explain it.

He Fang was devoted to Feng Jiuge, and when he saw Xu Tianya asking, he was angry in his heart, and he said without thinking: "Xu Gongzi's words are bad, the king of Changping knows that the speed of this news is fast, and the Zhang Tower is about to burn down by half, so the prince just came." ”

Xu Tianya didn't look at He Fang, but smiled indifferently: "This girl's words are wrong, although Zhang Lou has been burned to a small half, but that is because of the rapid fire, the Nishang Pavilion is full of flammable dance clothes, and the fire is naturally bigger, and it has only taken half an hour since the fire to now, and the prince seems to have come faster."

As soon as these words came out, Feng Jiuge's face suddenly became more ugly, this Xu Tianya wanted to lead the water to the east and lead the topic to him, so that he could get out and think about beauty, but unfortunately it was not so easy

Not only Feng Jiu Ge thought so, but Ye Tanghua was also the same, so before Feng Jiu Ge spoke, she had already asked with a smile: "Hey, how did Xu Gongzi know that there is a dance costume in my Zhang Tower, it stands to reason that Xu Gongzi shouldn't have entered the Zhang Tower, and we don't know where the fire was lit Besides, according to what Xu Gongzi just said, you were knocked unconscious when you were in the Guozi Prison, and after you woke up, you were in this Zhang Tower, you shouldn't know when the fire started, since you don't know when the fire started, How do you know that the prince is coming quickly?"

Ye Tanghua's words immediately led everyone's suspicions back to Xu Tianya, although Feng Jiu Ge came early although it was suspicious, but after all, people came to help, and this Xu Tianya was a prisoner, not only appeared in Zhanglou inexplicably, but also spoke in an unknown way, compared to King Changping, I don't know how much more suspicious.

Xu Tianya was stunned in his heart, and couldn't help but look at Ye Tanghua, only to feel that although this little girl was young, she was born charming and charming, especially the little cinnabar between her eyebrows, which was simply charming, and so smart and smart, she found the wrong place from his words in an instant, and looking at the dress, she must be a noble girl in Beijing, but it is a pity that she is still young, otherwise she is worthy of being his wife.

"What Miss Ye said is good, this king also has a lot of doubts about this in his heart, and hopes that Xu Gongzi will not hesitate to give advice, how do you know that there is a Nishang Pavilion in the Zhang Tower, and how do you know that this fire has only been lit for about half an hour" Feng Jiuge looked at Xu Tianya and looked at Ye Tanghua's thoughtful eyes, and felt uncomfortable, the niece of the dignified Weiyuan Marquis, the eldest daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is a little Gongsheng can Xiao think about it

Xu Tianya came back to his senses, and his eyebrows couldn't help but bring a trace of gloom, compared to a lifelong event, what is more important now should be to remove himself from the fire in Zhanglou

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look even colder, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have casually believed the words of the woman in Tsing Yi, although he promised to be used by that person, but he didn't say that even his sister's words should be left alone, if it weren't for the woman saying that this matter was the meaning of the person above, he would never ignore it, Rao is so, this plan is too reckless Now it's good, not to mention burning Zhanglou, he also fell into the hands of King Changping, how to explain this to get out

Xu Tianya thought about it for a long time, and was so anxious that he saw sweat on his forehead, barely maintaining his demeanor, and said with a smile: "Regarding the time of the fire, in fact, I don't know very well, but I just roughly estimate, as for the name of Nishang Pavilion, I also heard it from somewhere, and I remembered it." ”

"Is this really the case" Feng Jiu Ge stared at Xu Tianya and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's true" Xu Tianya made up his mind and did not let go.

Han Yirou smiled slightly, and slowly walked over: "With all due respect, Xu Gongzi and Wang Ye have inevitably put the cart before the horse, and now the most important thing is to find out the truth about the fire in Zhanglou, why are the two of them arguing over these trivial matters."

"Forgive Tanghua bluntly, Miss Han's words are bad. If you don't distinguish these little things clearly, and solve the case in the future, if someone uses this thing as a raft, how to set it up if you catch the thief who set the fire, and confront him in court, Xu Gongzi said that he let the thief kidnap him, and the thief refuses to admit it, but how is it good, naturally he has figured it out now, and it is good to go to the court to make the thief have nothing to say. As the saying goes, if you peel off the cocoon, you have to have a thread, does Miss Han think that we are here in a mess, and we can catch the person who set the fire" Ye Tanghua raised her willow eyebrows slightly, smiled and replied a few words, blocking Han Yirou so that she had nothing to say, and her face was swollen and red.

Feng Jiuge glanced at Ye Tanghua, and felt more and more that this little girl was quite interesting and pitiful, so she couldn't help but say a word: "Miss Han doesn't seem to know much about these things, where there is a case, no matter how big or small, it is natural to figure it out, and follow the vine to touch the melon, who knows which vine will pull out this melon."

At this point, Han Yirou is a fool and can see that Feng Jiu Ge and Ye Tanghua are clearly on the same front, but at the same time, there is still a gentle smile on her face: "What the prince said is that Yirou is not thoughtful. ”

"Hey, what's the matter, all the young ladies aren't in the building for the exam, why are they all standing at the door of the building, what's the matter" Suddenly, a man's surprised voice came from the door, and everyone turned their heads to look, and saw Yong'an Wang Qi Minzhi leading the guards to appear at the door, Ye Tanghua couldn't help but wonder in her heart, why did this person come

Feng Jiu Ge was not surprised, but just smiled at him: "You came too late. ”

Qi Minzhi pursed his lips and walked in, he couldn't help frowning when he saw Ye Tanghua also here, and then smiled calmly: "I'm not as out of tune as you, the Guozijian is taking the exam, but your evaluation is out, I'm patient and waiting for others to finish this exam, isn't this Xu Tianya, why are you here?"

Feng Jiu Ge shrugged his shoulders: "The fire in Zhanglou is a big matter of people's lives, I don't know, now that I know, how can I ignore this Xu Gongzi, people are even worse, try to try, go out to get out of the wind and let the thief who set fire to the Zhanglou be taken captive, and almost burned to death in it, you say that this thief who set the fire is funny or not funny to do so many useless work"

While speaking, Qi Minzhi had already walked up to Xu Tianya, glanced at him as if inadvertently, and smiled slightly: "That's really funny, that thief slipped out of the Guozijian with a big living person, slipped into the Zhanglou and threw a fire at the person, and he was able to get out of it It seems that the guards of the Guozijian and the Zhanglou are all waste snacks."

After that, Qi Minzhi glanced at Ye Tanghua, and then turned his head and smiled at Xu Tianya as if he had nothing to do.

Ye Tanghua was looking at Qi Minzhi, pondering the meaning of his coming, and suddenly received Qi Minzhi's eyes, first stunned and then comprehended, and immediately stepped forward to give a light salute to Feng Jiuge and Qi Minzhi: "Guozijian and Zhanglou are both under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, if the prince feels that the garrison of Guozijian and Zhanglou is not strict, and his father is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, it is difficult to escape the blame, but his father has been an official for many years and has been conscientious, and he has been in office for less than two months, and there are some who have not noticed it for a while, but if it is said that the garrison is useless, it is impossible, I hope the two princes will see it." ”

Feng Jiu Ge looked at Ye Tanghua and nodded: "What Miss Ye said is reasonable, this matter should be investigated in detail, not only to investigate carefully, but also to file a case." Someone, in my name, go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to report the case and sue this thief who burned down the building."
