Chapter 318: On Fire

"Back to my lord, this person didn't recruit anything, and kept saying that he wanted to see the prince"

Hearing what his subordinates said, Zhou Yuan's eyes narrowed, and then he came to Zhang Xiang, who was covered in bruises and skin at this moment, curled up and lying on the hay.

"Master Zhang, why are you struggling? The order to arrest you was given by His Majesty, and if there is no conclusive evidence, how could His Majesty give such an order?

In fact, you don't say that we all know that you must have embezzled a lot of taxes and silver over the years.

Now that the matter has been exposed, you should tell the truth, why suffer here for the sake of others? ”

"I want to see the prince," Zhang Xiang said weakly as if he hadn't heard it.

When Zhou Yuan was executed against him, Zhang Xiang knew that Haide had the account book of embezzlement of taxes and silver over the years.

This is a capital crime, but Zhang Xiang doesn't want the whole family to die with him.

The last hope is the prince, Zhang Xiang has the prince's handles in his hands, these handles are enough to shake the prince's foundation, and he is not afraid that the prince will not agree.

"Lord Zhang, what you want to see the prince is nothing more than having evidence against the prince in your hands. The officer promises you, as long as you tell everything and hand over the evidence.

This official will definitely speak for you in front of the King of Jin and save the life of your whole family, how?"

They are all human spirits and old foxes, how could Zhou Yuan not know the concerns in Zhang Xiang's heart and his subsequent moves.

Even Hyde had a ledger of corrupt taxes and silver, both as a threat and as a means of saving his life.

What's more, it is Zhang Xiang, an old fox, who wants to see the prince in his heart, which is nothing more than having evidence unfavorable to the prince in his hands.

"I want to see the prince, and I will say anything after I meet the prince"

Faced with Zhou Yuan's conditions, Zhang Xiang did not agree.

King Jin was bent on bringing down the crown prince, how could he really be willing to help him.

Besides, if he hands over the account book and loses his value, it is unknown whether the prince and the king of Jin will help him and abide by the conditions.

"Hmph, I want to see how hard your mouth is" Zhou Yuan was already impatient.

The most important thing in prison is torture tools and hard-boned people, can they be harder than iron?

At the same time, the crown prince and the king of Jin all knew that Zhang Xiang had this account book in his hand, and everyone wanted to find it as soon as possible.

Now that Zhang Xiang has been arrested, if there is really this account book, it must be hidden in Zhang Xiang's mansion.

When night fell, the prince's men and the king's men all appeared in Zhang Xiang's mansion, trying to find the ledger.

"Be careful, don't alarm others"

Several figures appeared in Zhang's mansion, taking advantage of no one's attention, to Zhang Xiang's study, which was the most likely place to hide the ledger.

But no matter how the man in black searched, and even the walls were carefully observed, he still didn't find anything special.

The leader of the "shhhhh

After a while, I saw the door opened, and three men in black sneaked in.

Carefully close the door and look for it.

"Retrospective"

A cold light came, startling the man in black and quickly turned around and dodged this move.

Out of the darkness, three men in black came out, and the men in black on both sides were holding sharp blades and ready to attack.

"Hand over what you find," the leader of the men in black thought that the men in black who came first had already found the ledger.

"It's up to you," the man in black said disdainfully.

The two factions of black-clothed men fought, and the sound of swords striking in the silent night was not so harsh.

"Catch the Assassins, there are Assassins"

The guards patrolling the house heard the sound of fighting coming from the study and said loudly.

"Withdraw"

The two black-clothed men leaped forward, left the study, looked at the guards who surrounded them, and snorted coldly.

Then with a tap of his toes, his body soared into the air, leaped to the roof, and then disappeared.

The shadows of swords and swords continued to play out in mid-air, and the later men in black continued to attack the men in black who came first and seize the ledger.

But these black-clothed people have good skills, they have a lot of people, and they want to leave, and no one on either side can do anything.

Zhang Xiang lay weakly on the floor, moaning constantly, and the torture continued to destroy Zhang Xiang's body and willpower.

If it weren't for the strong desire to survive, Zhang Xiang would have been unable to bear it.

There is not a good piece of meat in the whole body.

Someone said that ordinary people, even those professionally trained hard bones, had to bow their heads in the face of torture by the criminal department.

Otherwise, how could the criminal department deter those young people and dig out those hidden news.

The black light flashed, and the speed was so fast that it was impossible to tell whether it was a hallucination or reality, and the guards were so depressed that they fell down.

Feeling a powerful aura surrounding him, Zhang Xiang raised his fighting eyes and was startled when he saw a figure appear in front of him.

"Where's the ledger," the man in black said coldly.

"I want to see the prince, otherwise I won't hand it over" Zhang Xiang frowned, the person who came was the prince's person.

"The master promised you a condition, where is the account book," the man in black said coldly.

"I want to tell the prince face to face" Zhang Xiang shook his head, without the prince's promise, the account book could not be handed over.

Otherwise, he will die, and the whole family will die.

A cold breath rushed towards Zhang Xiang like a tide, and his originally weak body fell to the ground at this moment.

It was as if a raised hand fell from the sky and pressed it on Zhang Yan's body, making him unable to move.

"If I don't see the prince, I will definitely not hand it over" The cough kept ringing out, and the sound of blood dripping was particularly loud.

The man in black frowned, his eyes surging with murderous intent.

"Someone is breaking in, surround this place"

Hearing the sound, the man in black narrowed his eyes, and then slapped Zhang Xiang's body with a palm, and he whimpered.

Then the figure flickered and disappeared into the night.

Subsequently, dozens of people appeared in the prison, and a subordinate looked at Zhang Yan lying on the ground and stepped forward.

He put his finger in the middle of the person and shook his head at the Senhe-sama.

"Send someone to look for it, see if there are any clues left"

Thousands of adults were cold, Zhang Xiang was the person named by the emperor, but he didn't expect to die in prison, these troubles were big.

"Zhang Xiang is dead"

Qianhu told Zhou Yuan the news, and Zhou Yuan was furious: "What are you doing to eat, so many people can't stand it."

Angrily reprimanding his subordinates, Zhou Yuan hurried to the Jin Palace.

People died in the criminal department, which is not good for the criminal department.

"Zhang Xiang was killed" King Jin's eyes were cold, Zhang Xiang was a powerful weapon to attack the prince.

I wanted to pry his mouth open, get evidence against the crown prince, and shake the position of his East Palace.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiang actually died, and he died in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Although it can't affect the criminal department, it can at least disgust the criminal department and end up with a crime that is unfavorable to the guard.

"King Jin, my subordinates didn't expect that someone would be so bold and dare to break into the Criminal Department to kill Zhang Xiang," Zhou Yuan said in fear.

King Jin's eyes were sharp, and this matter was probably the hand of the prince.

I sent someone to Zhang's house to look for the account book, and it turned out that someone had already been looking for the account book in Zhang Xiang's study.

Now it seems that the crown prince should find the ledger, afraid that Zhang Yang will tell the truth and send someone to kill him.

King Jin was a little annoyed, he had known that he would have sent someone to secretly protect Zhang Xiang, such a good opportunity, he missed it like this.

"Zhang Xiang committed suicide in fear of sin, and told his father truthfully tomorrow" King Jin waved his hand.

Zhang Xiang died, the ledger was taken away by the prince, and it was impossible to continue to deal with the prince.

Now that the position of the head of the household department is vacant, it is impossible for the prince to continue to control the household department.

"What did Zhang Xiang say," the prince looked at Su Wu.

"Zhang Xiang refused to hand over the account book, his subordinates wanted to force him, but someone broke in, and in a hurry, his subordinates killed Zhang Xiang," Su Wu said truthfully.

Zhang Yang died, and the person sent out to look for the account book said that he met another group of people who were also looking for the account book, and it was estimated that it was the person of King Jin.

"There's something for you to find," said the prince, after a moment of contemplation.

When the morning sun rises from the mountain peaks, the white clouds that float leisurely are dyed into brilliant gold.

"Kumquat, the weather is nice today, let's go out for a walk"

For such a long time, Liu Hanyan has been staying in the mansion, a little dull.

"Miss, you are pregnant with the little prince now, it is so dangerous outside, so you should stay in the house"

Kumquat shook his head, now that Liu Hanyan is pregnant, the gold is extremely expensive, but there can be no difference.

"It's only been more than a month, it's okay" Liu Hanyan stroked his stomach, his eyes were full of maternal brilliance.

"No, miss, if you are found out by your wife, you have to scold the slave to death" Kumquat still didn't dare to let Liu Hanyan out of the house.

"Don't worry, if my mother scolds you, I will protect you"

I haven't been outside for a long time, and Liu Hanyan wants to see the scenery outside.

Kumquat frowned and muttered for a while: "It's okay to go out, but Miss, you have to promise the slave maid, you can only play for a while."

"Okay, good, promise you".

There are constant pedestrians on the streets: some are carrying burdens and hurrying, some are driving ox carts to deliver goods, some are driving donkeys to pull trucks, and some stop to enjoy the scenery of the national capital.

All kinds of shouts are continuous, if there are some acrobatic performances, it is very lively.

Liu Hanyan looked at the prosperity of the street, his eyes were shining, he always stayed in the house, and he was very bored.

However, not far away, a pair of eyes were staring at Liu Hanyan all the time, with a complicated expression.

"It's on fire, come and put out the fire"

A moment later, thick black smoke suddenly appeared in the sky above the national capital, covering the sky and the sun, and the flames dozens of meters high were like fire dragons, hovering in the air.

The crowd was agitated, and the people began to panic, some ran back, and some were curious to see.

Kumquat panicked and tightly surrounded Liu Hanyan, for fear that someone would touch it.

"Kumquat, it's okay"

Liu Hanyan looked at the fire dragon swallowing the sky in the distance, and he didn't know which mansion was on fire.

"Kumquat, I'll take a break here, you go and inquire to see whose house is on fire"

Liu Hanyan found a safe place.

"Miss, how can this be done, if the lord and the lady know, they will kill the slave and maid" Kumquat shook his head.

"It's okay, it's safe here"

"Alright then, miss, don't you go, wait for me here"

Under Liu Hanyan's repeated recounting, Kumquat left here and went to inquire about the news.

"King Jin, Zhang's mansion was suddenly fired," the subordinate told King Jin after learning the news.

"On fire?"

King Jin squinted, it seems that the prince did not find the account book, otherwise he would not have burned Zhang's mansion, and he would have come to a hundred.

It's just that King Ling Jin didn't expect that the prince would be so vicious, killing Zhang Xiang with the front foot, and destroying the Zhang family with the back foot.

"Send someone to keep an eye on it, and tell the king immediately if there is any situation"

King Jin looked into the distance: Prince, ruthless enough.

There was such a big fire in the national capital, and when he heard the news, Lin Hu rushed to put out the fire with people from the city defense battalion.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiangnai is a second-class official, and the mansion is wide, and there is a distance between adjacent mansions.

Otherwise, it will inevitably damage nearby houses and cause a bigger fire.

Liu Hanyan stood aside, looking at the fire, a little sad, such a big fire, I don't know if anyone will have an accident.

"Click"

The people in the chaos accidentally touched the stall in front of Liu Hanyan, causing it to change its center of gravity and dump towards Liu Hanyan.

Liu Hanyan, who was still looking at the distance, didn't know that danger was coming, and when Liu Hanyan turned around, the stall was about to smash on Liu Hanyan.

"Ahh
