That night.

It's in Ningyuan City.

Everyone in the city had their own thoughts about the visit of the Emperor of the Apocalypse at this time.

His Majesty's performance today has far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Although he reprimanded him severely, this reprimand was more like a joke.

Where in the world is there a son of heaven who suddenly came to the border town, and then scolded the civil and military ministers of the border town for being greedy for Liao.

Although Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand what it meant, he was shocked.

This young man is really a talent.

He actually knew that some people were greedy for money.

The only fly in the ointment is that the means of the Son of Heaven ...... It's really not very clever, and it even makes people feel funny.

Yuan Chonghuan was indifferent to this.

But this night, he still couldn't sleep, but he got up in his clothes and began to repair his books.

These letters were all sent to some ministers in Beijing who had a close relationship with him, and there was only one meaning, now that the emperor is here, you should quickly bring people back, and what kind of mess are you going to make here.

Is this Ning Yuan, is this the place where the emperor should come?

After repairing the book, Yuan Chonghuan let out a long sigh, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on a letter on the desk.

This letter was sent by Huang Taiji.

Jiannu's Huang Taiji has dealt with him a lot, this person is a rare person, to a certain extent, Yuan Chonghuan even felt that Huang Taiji was more like a great tomorrow.

Of course, such rebellious thoughts quickly disappeared in Yuan Chonghuan's mind, and no matter what, he had to send the emperor away quickly, saving him a lot of dreams at night.

As for the so-called purge that the emperor said...... It's just a joke.

If he has the ability, he will come to check, and it is useless for anyone to check.

At this time, Yue'er was hanging, and Yuan Chonghuan's room had a stove, but Yuan Chonghuan still felt cold, so he and his clothes returned to the couch, planning to rest for a while, and go to meet the emperor tomorrow early in the morning to see how to deal with this hairy child.

Yes, and that Zhang Jingyi.

Thinking of Zhang Jingyi, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, this guy really caused him a lot of trouble.

He is in Liaodong, although he is the governor, but Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang Town always can't get along with him, this person is very hateful, if he doesn't collapse Mao Wenlong, who has the final say in Liaodong?

But Zhang Jingyi's recruitment of pirates will inevitably strengthen the sea power of the Ming Dynasty, and at that time, he will inevitably be damaged, this Liaodong will be flat, and he Yuan Chonghuan will be leveled, this Zhang Jingyi and Mao Wenlong are nothing.

Thinking like this, I was dazed and wanted to sleep.

Suddenly......

There was a very shrill sound of gongs outside.

Yuan Chonghuan was excited, and immediately got up, and someone outside hurriedly came and said, "Yuan Gong, Yuan Gong...... It's not good, it's not good......"

The person who spoke, while speaking, his voice was hoarse, and he actually slammed open the door of Yuan Chonghuan's house like crazy, and the whole person almost fell down: "Yuan Gong...... Something happened, something big happened. ”

Yuan Chonghuan was startled and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Walk in...... On fire...... It's on fire! ”

The so-called Xingzai is the place where the emperor temporarily lives.

Where did the emperor live...... There was a fire.

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he was a little unstable, and he immediately said, "Who ...... Who put it? ”

"No...... I don't know ......."

"Fight the fire, put out the fire immediately......" Yuan Chonghuan shouted!

Then he rushed out of the house, and sure enough, he saw that the night sky in the direction had been burned red, and the fire was raging, with billowing smoke and dust, filling the entire sky.

Yuan Chonghuan scolded: "Quick, hurry up and put out the fire, come, come, come, go to the ......"

The entire Ningyuan City was already in chaos.

Almost all the generals in the city came from all directions, either on horseback or in sedan chairs.

Finally, the fire was extinguished.

But all that remains here is countless rubble, and nothing has long since been burned.

A group of people searched desperately inside, but could not find anything except a few burnt corpses.

Yuan Chonghuan got down from the sedan chair, and then looked at everything in front of him dumbfounded, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

At this time, someone came on horseback with a group of family members, and the people turned over and dismounted.

It was Man Gui, the chief military officer of Liaodong, whose face was full of surprise, brandished his whip, and severely whipped a guard standing not far away: "What about Your Majesty?" ”

"No...... I don't know ......."

Man Gui's body trembled, and soon, he saw Yuan Chonghuan.

"Yuan Gong, what's going on?"

Yuan Chonghuan finally came back to his senses, and he glanced at Man Gui complicatedly: "General Man...... The old man was about to ask you, why did you ask me? ”

"Humph!" Man Gui sneered: "This must be someone stabbing at you." ”

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Whether it is an assassination or not, sooner or later the truth will be revealed." ”

After saying that, Man Gui turned around, turned over directly on his horse, and immediately said, "Block the city gate." Dig three feet into the ground for me...... Anyone with suspicious deeds will be found by General Ben. ”

As he spoke, he took his family with him and left in a hurry.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but shudder at this time, he knew it very well...... Something big, something big.

Yuan Chonghuan's face sank like water, and he immediately said: "Go back to your home and order someone to ...... Check it out for me, keep looking for me ......"

He stammered a little when he spoke, and the demeanor he had cultivated on weekdays was now gone.

Then, he got into the sedan chair.

All the way back to the governor's yamen.

At this time, the henchmen in the governor's yamen had arrived, everyone was talking to each other, and some people almost jumped out of the bed, so they didn't even wear a coat, and their faces were full of anxiety.

"Yuan Gong ......"

As soon as they saw Yuan Chonghuan coming, everyone hurriedly gathered around.

"What now......

"This is the sin of death."

"Gong Yuan, you tell the truth, is Your Majesty already ......?"

Yuan Chonghuan had a gloomy face and said angrily: "Shut up!" ”

The crowd was a little quieter.

Yuan Chonghuan's eyes widened, and he said: "Your Majesty, whether you live or die, if such a big thing happens today, in this Ningyuan City, there will always be someone whose head will fall to the ground, either the old man's whole clan will be destroyed, or someone else, as for you...... Don't think you can escape, do you think you can run away? Let's bury together! ”

The officials were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out.

Yuan Chonghuan then sneered: "If you still want to live, it's not that there is no way, if you want to live, you have to find out who set this fire, the old man is frank and open, and naturally has a clear conscience, so what about you?" ”

The officials hurriedly said, "How dare we do such a rebellious thing." ”

Yuan Chonghuan squinted, a trace of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and at this time, he could only save himself, so he said: "It's not the old man, it's not you, could it be that some lawless generals did it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials were in an uproar, and someone hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, it is very likely, during the day, His Majesty also said that he would severely punish the generals who were greedy for ink, I know this, I know...... Those hiccles...... Do something, don't think that if you do something wrong, you can hide it from the world, Yuan Gong...... Adjutant General Zhang Yu, drinking the blood of soldiers...... I have proof. ”

"I know the guerrilla general Wang Sheng...... Killing the good and risking the merit......"

At this point, you can't be polite.

Xingzai was burned, and now the emperor's life and death are unknown.

A group of people are going to die in this Ningyuan City.

How can you prove that someone else set this fire?

That is to quickly find fault, and it is best to quickly expose the misdeeds of some people on weekdays.

It is impossible for the imperial court to kill everyone in Ningyuan City.

It's like being chased by a tiger, you don't need to run faster than the tiger, you just need to run faster than everyone else.

Yuan Chonghuan said lightly: "How can such a big thing be done only by a few deputy generals and guerrilla generals, these people are at most party henchmen...... According to the old man...... Those who dare to do such a thing, if they only explain to such a few people, I am afraid that it will not be enough. ”

Someone understood, so he hurriedly said, "I heard...... General Mangui raised more than 1,700 house slaves, Yuan Gong...... 1,700 people, all of whom are slaves, what is he doing with so many private soldiers? Where did the money and food come from for these domestic slaves? On his side, there are plenty of private soldiers, but on the other side, the soldiers on the front line of our Guanning have already owed countless salaries, and the soldiers are already dissatisfied, and the mutiny is imminent. Your Majesty has fiercely resigned this matter today, could it be that someone is afraid of the crime...... So...... Just don't do it, and don't stop ......"

Yuan Chonghuan said lightly: "Really? It seems that it is necessary to check ......"

…………

At this time, in the chief military officer's office.

The chief military officer, Man Gui, had already returned in a hurry, and a group of generals had already waited anxiously here.

And they were silent, and their faces were as dead as ashes.

When Man Gui actually beat the horse and left, it was already clear that when the matter came to this point, between him and Yuan Chonghuan, there would always be one death, as for how many people in Zhulian, only God knows.

Man Gui glanced at everyone, then took a deep breath, and said: "Go, take all the things you collect on weekdays, damn it, the one surnamed Yuan is immortal, and Lao Tzu's sons in the capital are going to be late." ”

Ben was a restless general, and he suddenly counted it in his heart.

…………

The Emperor of the Apocalypse carried Zhang Jingyi on his back and ran fast all the way.

Dozens of accompanying guards followed all the way.

This Emperor of the Apocalypse was like a donkey, walking like a fly.

This bad idea was Zhang Jing's idea.

The fire was set by the Emperor of the Apocalypse himself.

Jin Yiwei's side found someone he could trust.

As soon as the fire was put off, he immediately rushed out of the city as a brocade guard.

It's just that the horses that were received at this time were placed in a Zhuangzi in the west of the city, so ...... These ten miles can only rely on two legs.

Thereupon...... Zhang Jingyi couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't run.

Seeing that the civil and military forces in Ningyuan City who reacted might send cavalry to patrol at any time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't say a word, and ran away directly with Zhang Jingyi on his back.

He ran and said: "Look, this time I saved you once, if not, if you stay here, nine times out of ten you will be hacked to death, come and thank me." ”
