After a month and a half, the Tongtiantai was finally built, and the head of Qingyun Dao pinched his fingers and prepared to take the stage on the ninth day of the sixth month.

In the middle of the night on the eighth day of the first lunar month, a blue-clothed attendant quietly approached the Tongtiantai, and although there was no one guarding it, he still stood very cautiously in the dark for a while, making sure that there was no one, and then he got into the inside of the Tongtiantai.

The rooftop is more like a tower, hollow inside, in the middle is a load-bearing wooden beam, a layer of structure from low to high, against the four walls is a circle of steps, along the steps can go up to the top, the top is a large platform, for the use of the Qingyun Road Chief.

The blue-robed chamberlain walked cautiously up the steps, without making a sound. He went up to the top, but instead of going to the top platform, he jumped onto the wooden beam in the middle, and struck him at that key point, and then he jumped back up the steps, and went down a few floors, and did the same, and he slapped the wooden beam in the middle, and so on until the bottom.

He did it all in a smooth way, carefully exited the rooftop, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the night. No one knows that the wooden beams that lead to the roof are problematic in themselves, and they can't be seen on the surface, but when they encounter a particularly strong force, they will rot inside. The craftsman who built it could not have noticed, but after this man's heavy blow, the wooden beams had become rotten wood.

On the morning of the ninth day of the new year, the sky was clear.

Qingyun Dao is dressed in a wide-sleeved robe, with fluttering clothes, which has a sense of fairy wind and bones. He strode with his head held high, and walked all the way, not looking at the emperor and the four princes and concubines waiting under the rooftop, but indifferently entered the platform directly, and after a while, he appeared on the platform several feet high.

The emperor felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, who didn't salute respectfully when he saw him, but this Qingyun Dao Commander didn't seem to see him. As soon as the crown prince saw the emperor's face, he knew that the arrogant Qingyun had made his father unhappy, and he hurriedly whispered: "Those who have attained the Tao will inevitably not take this worldly gift to heart, and the father doesn't have to mind, and see if his approach can be successful." "As long as he performs calling the wind and rain on the spot, his father will definitely be convinced, and he won't care about Qingyun's attitude at that time.

I saw that the Qingyun Dao Commander on the stage burned a talisman, silently prayed for a moment, raised his arms, and pointed his fingers to the sky.

"It's time to start doing it, look at it," the concubines whispered, and the already quiet crowd became a little noisy, and no one heard the slight "click" sound coming from the rooftop.

King Yu quietly grabbed the sleeve of the jade concubine, and his phoenix eyes stared at the rooftop. He can only make this high platform fall, as for which side to fall, it is not necessarily, if it falls towards everyone, although the distance will not directly hit people, but the flying sawdust or something may also hurt people, and the first thing he wants to protect at that time is the concubine.

The royal family looked at the sky, the blue sky was cloudless, although it was still morning, but the heat was already felt, this kind of weather can rain? His phoenix eyes looked at the Qingyun Dao Chief on the high platform with great interest, if it didn't rain, see how he ended, and at that time, he could be sentenced to the crime of bullying the king.

Qingyun Daochang's body shook.

"Hey, is there still such a practice? Rickety? ”

"It's not that he's shaking, it's collapsing, run, the roof has collapsed!"

The scene was suddenly chaotic, and before people could leave, there was a "boom", and the entire Tongtiantai collapsed, and the figure of Qingyun Dao Chang was gone.

Tongtiantai collapsed on the spot, not crooked elsewhere, despite this, King Yu's hand holding the sleeve of the jade concubine still did not let go, there are many people here, in case the mother is injured in the chaos, it is not good.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the rooftop collapsed into a pile of waste in the blink of an eye. The prince hurriedly ordered the guards to dig out the Qingyun Dao Chief, which he had spent a lot of time and money to invite.

The emperor glanced at the ruins with disdain, what is the master of the Tao, and he was buried before he could do it, since the Tao is profound, why didn't he count this catastrophe today? However, this rooftop is built so sloppily, we must check it carefully, who is so bold and dares to do such a thing under his nose?

A team of guards worked together and quickly dug out the Qingyun Dao Chief, but unfortunately, his head was smashed flat, and he was not angry at all, and he was already too dead to die anymore.

The prince was dumbfounded, this, this is the prestigious Qingyun Dao Chief, a master of the Tao who can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers, just died?!

People are dead, there is nothing to see, the emperor flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, who knew that after walking a few steps, the sky suddenly changed greatly, the originally clear sky was overcast, the palace people just covered the canopy on the top of the emperor's head, and the rain fell.

"This is the Ganlin that Qingyun Dao Leader begged for." The prince was overjoyed and said loudly: "Although the Taoist chief had an accident, his approach was still successful!" Qingyun can't live, but he can't let his father think that he has introduced a straw bale.

"This Taoist priest hasn't started to do it at all, where can he ask for Ganlin?" King Rui was very disapproving, "In my opinion, this Taoist priest must have known that it was going to rain today, and he deliberately chose this moment, waiting for this rain to come, it will be his credit." ”

was ruthlessly exposed by King Rui, and the prince was almost annoyed, "How can you know about the rain in advance, does the second brother know whether it will be sunny or rainy tomorrow?" ”

King Rui sneered, "Looking at what the prince said, how could I know that I am not the supervisor of Qin Tianjian." If the prince wants to know the weather tomorrow, he can ask the superintendent. ”

"You!" The prince's face was red, and King Kang hurriedly said: "What the second brother said is unreasonable, even if the supervisor knows the weather tomorrow, it is impossible to know which hour there will be rain, not to mention, it is only half an hour since the Qingyun Dao Chief's practice is now, and no one can be accurate to this extent." ”

The three princes couldn't hold each other, and the emperor looked at the prince meaningfully, "That's it, this matter of Qingyun will end here, but the collapse of the rooftop must be investigated in detail!" ”

Only then did the prince remember that this rooftop was built by himself, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, "Erchen will definitely find out!" "Even if his father doesn't tell him, he will find out everything clearly, and ask Qingyun Dao Chang to enter the palace to make alchemy for his father, God knows how much effort and financial resources he has spent, and he has been ruined, if you find out who has messed up his good layout, you have to cramp and peel him!

A number of officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, who participated in the construction of Tongtiantai, were detained by the prince and put in the prison of the Criminal Department. Ye Chenghun is no exception, but he doesn't feel dangerous at all, he doesn't have any problems, even if he is greedy, it's not a big deal, this rooftop collapse has nothing to do with him. Besides, as long as the prince is there, he can get out of this prison once, and he can go out a second time.

The Ministry of Industry did not participate in the construction of the rooftop, so he was fortunate not to be thrown into prison. The prince personally went to the scene with two Shangshu, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, and asked them to see what went wrong.

Judging by the construction drawings, the original design is no problem. Craftsmen are commonly used by the Ministry of Industry, so they will not make such a big mistake. The two Shangshu wandered around the ruins for a long time, and agreed that there was a big problem with the timber used to make the beams and columns. Even if it collapses and the wood breaks, it will not break into one by one like now, which is clearly rotten wood.

Ye Chengjun! The prince was angry and hateful, Ye Fu begged him for a long time, and he gave the fat he bought to Ye Chengxun, and he also knew that he always had to eat some difference in price, and he specially told him not to go too far. Unexpectedly, Ye Chenghun actually used rotten wood to make a difference, and ruined the good layout he had worked so hard to do.

The Criminal Department immediately interrogated Ye Chengxun, he was pampered, where could he be punished, and he was recruited in a few clicks, saying how much silver he bought, and how much silver he reported to the Ministry of Industry. At this time, he didn't realize how serious the matter was, and he just thought that he was working in vain, and the difference in price was going to be returned to the Ministry of Industry.

The prince listened to the confession reported by the Criminal Department, and after the explanation of the Ministry of Works, he almost fainted with anger, this damn Ye Chengxun, it was really him! He originally thought that it might be that Ye Chengxun was not familiar with the market price and was deceived, but he didn't expect him to be so greedy! Although he couldn't find the merchant anymore, but at his purchase price, of course, he could only buy rotten wood, he deliberately wanted to ruin his own big thing!

The officials and craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry were all released, leaving only Ye Chengxun in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

King Yu and Ye Chengyuan drank a cup of each other, and Ye Chengyuan asked, "I don't know if the prince will let him go this time." "Last time, the prince did not hesitate to kill several people in the prison of the Criminal Department for the sake of Ye Chengxun.

King Yu shook his head, "No." The crown prince will be avenged, Ye Chengxun killed Qingyun Daoist this time, causing him to ruin his layout for many days, and losing face in front of his father, he will never spare Ye Chengxun. "Last time, Ye Chengxun harmed the prince of Jiping Hou, and he had nothing to do with the prince, of course the prince could save him casually. But this time Ye Chengxun harmed the prince himself, how could the prince let him go.

Ye Chengyuan smiled slightly, "That's really good, such good news, I will tell the old lady in person." ”

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Ye Chengxun to sentence the autumn queen to behead.

The second room of the Jiping Hou Mansion suddenly turned into a pot of porridge.

The old lady couldn't speak, and since Ye Chengyuan told her that the second child was going to be beheaded after the autumn, her originally gray hair was all white.

Ye Fu came to Shou'an Hall, she stared at Ye Fu desperately, Ye Fu cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain, "I begged, I begged him I don't know how many times, he used everything, he just didn't agree." "The prince is determined not to help her father this time, no matter what she does, it will be useless.

The third old man, Ye Chengshu, came to Shou'an Hall, but he was also stared at by the old lady, and he said something desperately with a "whine" in his mouth. Of course he understood what the old lady meant, but he was a member of King Rui's faction after all, and last time King Rui didn't allow them to save Ye Chengxun, and this time he didn't allow it either. There was really no way, he came to Shou'an Hall again, he simply didn't go into the inner room, and asked the old lady at the door to say goodbye and left.

The second master was locked in the prison of the criminal department, the Qi family was locked in the small courtyard and was not allowed to see anyone, the old lady couldn't speak, the prince refused to let go, the third master refused to help, and the three sisters and Ye Ji in the second room were almost crazy.
