Chapter 119: The Fire
The situation is too chaotic, there are many tomb robbers, there are not many burial goods in Xiahou Youdao, and there are no monuments, no trees, and the so-called mausoleum palace is just a dirt mountain bag.
After worshipping Xiahou Youdao, except for Tian Quan and a few of his apprentices, the others got on the calf cart and left the mausoleum one after another.
Xiahou Yu didn't know that Xiao Huan's gaze had stayed on her for a long time.
She said goodbye to Xiao Huan with red eyes - she rested in the Eldest Princess's Mansion tonight and went back to the manor early tomorrow morning. Xiao Huan was going to Xie's house, Lu Yuan was pressing step by step, and they still had a lot of things to discuss.
Xiao Huan silently sent Xiahou Yu to the calf car, and turned around to meet Xie Danyang.
Princess Liu of Wuling stopped Xiahou Yu and sighed: "I'll accompany you back to the city!" ”
Xiahou Yu also hadn't seen the Liu family for some time.
She nodded slightly, and Ah Liang stepped forward to help Liu into the calf cart.
The calf cart staggered forward, and Liu Shi whispered to Xiahou Yu, "Do you know? Master Cui went to see the Son of Heaven a few days ago, and after that, he suggested that the merchants of Jiankang City should be thoroughly investigated. It is said that they are mercenary, do not know the importance of social welfare, and only know financial interests. The implication is that it mostly refers to the Lu family's cheese and mutton business. ”
The Liu family should have sent a message to her for King Wuling.
Since Xiahou Youdao's funeral, her imperial uncle's life in the court has not been very good.
The main reason is that he has a reckless temperament, and he can't go with Xiahou Youyi, and it is not enough to resist the Lu family.
Could it be that Xiahou Youyi wants to move his position?
Xiahou Yu's mind was spinning quickly, and he asked tentatively, "How is my uncle these days?" I have filial piety, and it is inconvenient for me to move around at will, so I haven't visited him for some days. ”
Liu knew that Xiahou Yu was smart, but he didn't expect her to react so quickly.
She is not the kind of person who can talk, so she simply said bluntly: "The prince is very depressed at home and wants to go back to the fiefdom." I'm afraid of disappointing the eldest princess's kindness, and now I'm worried that I don't know what to do! ”
In the previous life, after Xiahou Youfu succeeded to the throne, King Wuling did not take care of things, but stayed in Jiankang City.
She couldn't help but wonder: "But what happened that I don't know?" ”
The Liu family was silent for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said, "The Wei family sent someone over, I don't know what I said to the prince. The prince grabbed his hair at home for several days, and said that he wanted to go back to the fiefdom, and he didn't care about the affairs of Jiankang City, and he couldn't take care of it. ”
Xiahou Yu knew that his aunt was a real person, so he also said bluntly: "Then aunt help me ask Uncle Wang what is going on?" Even if you want to leave, you can't leave me alone in Jiankang! ”
Liu Shi said distressedly: "The governor is in Jiankang, where can you go?" ”
Xiahou Yu said: "Isn't there a manor in Huiji?" If not, just live over there! ”
In her previous life, she wanted to live in the past, but Xiao Huan was in a high position, and she liked to ask her to do this thing when she had something to do, so she hesitated several times and failed to make the trip.
Liu said: "It's too far away from Jiankang, it's better to build Kangcheng." ”
With Yin Ping's efforts, Xiahou Yu now has four thousand parts in his hands, which is a little worse than before, but over time, it will definitely make those gate valve families dare not underestimate it.
Where does she live and not?
Xiahou Yu didn't say much to the Liu family, and sent the Liu family back to the palace, and she went directly back to the eldest princess's mansion.
Xiao Huan really didn't return overnight.
Early the next morning, Zheng Duo came over to help Cui's hand over the post, invited Xiahou Yu to his home as a guest, and said: "Mother personally boiled a lot of osmanthus nectar, and specially left several jars for the eldest princess, waiting for the eldest princess to come and get it!" ”
In her previous life, she was like this, and the Cui family asked her to pick up things or send things over every once in a while, as if she was afraid that no one would pay attention to her.
Xiahou Yu responded with a smile and asked about Zheng Duo's knowledge.
The two gossiped.
When Zheng Duo left, Xiahou Yu personally sent Zheng Duo to the gate.
It's just that before she could turn around, she saw Liu Qi trotting over with an anxious face.
Xiahou Yu frowned.
If it was usual, Liu Qi would have slowed down a long time ago, but this time, not only did he not slow down, but he also ran.
"Eldest Princess!" He saluted Xiahou Yu and said eagerly, "I just received a message from Huiji, saying that the crops in the manor over there were burned by the heavenly fire and burned eight or nine out of ten. I'll have to check it out! ”
Xiahou Yu was puzzled and said, "When did Huiji send out the heavenly fire?" How did I not know? Did the imperial court send someone over to check? Are there any dead or wounded in the manor? ”
Liu Qi hesitated for a moment, looked up at Xiahou Yu, and said in a deep voice: "Eldest princess, the manors of other families are all fine, only the manor in our house has been hit by the fire." I'm looking for you to ask you to dial a few steps to go with me. I'm afraid it's not easy. As for the casualties, it is not yet known. As soon as I heard the news, I came to see the eldest princess, and there were some things that I didn't have time to ask. ”
Xiahou Yu was stunned.
There are not many people who dare to burn her manor!
It's really like Liu Qi said, to go to the meeting, you have to bring some parts.
She laughed, "I'm right." You go to Yin Ping to ask for someone. How many people you want, you make up your own mind. I will come back as you go! ”
"Yes!" Liu Qi saluted Xiahou Yu, and there seemed to be water flashing in his eyes.
Xiahou Yu returned to the house without changing his face.
But when he returned to the house, he shot fifty arrows in the courtyard before he went to change his clothes, freshen up, eat and listen to books.
Du Hui and the others who watched her grow up trembling and didn't dare to say a word, so that when Xiao Huan came to greet her, she inexplicably felt that the atmosphere at home was very solemn.
But this is in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it is Xiahou Yu's territory, so he is not easy to ask.
Xiao Huan just didn't see it, said hello to Xiahou Yu and went back to the Xiao Mansion next to him.
Xiahou Yu didn't talk to Xiao Huan about it.
When Xiahou Yu returned to the manor with osmanthus nectar, a warehouse at the east wharf of Jiankang City caught fire.
The fire burned for a day and a night, and more than half of the storeroom on the dock was burned.
The strange thing is that half of the treasury is supported by the Lu family.
Jiankang City was in an uproar.
This is obviously going to the Lu family.
No one in the Lu family has dared to provoke such a blatant provocation for nearly twenty years.
Lu Yuan, who received the letter, was so angry that he didn't say anything for a long time.
He blushed his face, gritted his teeth and instructed his eldest son Lu Qing: "Go and check for me, who did it." ”
Lu Qing's face was not good-looking.
Although the Lu family has grievances with others, they also have favors with many people.
Is this man trying to stir up trouble by acting so rudely?
He was uneasy.
The strange thing is that no matter how much he checks, he can't find out who did it.
This is even more unusual.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and no matter how careful the arrangement is, there will be flaws and will be seen.
But whether he asked the officers and soldiers guarding the city, or the steward of the dock, he shook his head three times, as if the fire had fallen from the sky.
Lu Huai and Lu Yang had a faint conjecture in their hearts.
They had people burn the wheat that Xiahou Yu Huiji Manor had not yet had time to harvest, and within a few days, the Lu family's warehouse at the wharf was set on fire.
If it weren't for Xiahou Yu, then this would be too much of a coincidence?
