The palace study.

The emperor swept his eyes towards Anshun angrily, "I asked you to kill, why did you still set fire?" ”

Not to mention the prisoners who were burned to death, it cost a lot of money just to repair the cells. The money he recently sprinkled out has not had time to make a profit, and the household department is empty, what can he use to repair the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?

An Shun looked depressed, "The people sent out haven't come back yet, and the old slave doesn't know what's going on?" ”

The Emperor snorted angrily, "The older you get, the more useless you become. ”

An Shun tensed his back and didn't dare to speak......

When Xie Xun arrived, he happened to hear the secret guard tell the story of the fire in the prison.

This secret guard was not very lucky, when he went to the ferry, the official boat had just left, he could only wait for the next flight, and when he entered the city, it was already late.

I found the familiar cell boss and was about to go in to visit, when the flames suddenly burst out of the cell. Everyone fled outside, and the prison of the Criminal Department was in chaos, trampling on each other, and it was so crowded that the cell bosses of the Criminal Department could not stop them at all, and several prisoners who fled for their lives in a hurry were injured.

Fortunately, Chu Jue and the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division happened to be patrolling nearby. The 500 officers and men, together with the old man and the official of the criminal department, worked together to arrest the escaped prisoners and carry water to extinguish the fire, so that there was no big disturbance.

The secret guard rushed into the cell at the risk of being burned by fire and trampled, but Xie Yun was gone.

He searched in the capital all night, and asked Chu Jue to help find someone, but to no avail. Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, he could only rush to the summer resort to report it. I didn't dare to take a breath halfway, my physical strength was exhausted, and when I arrived at the destination, I fainted.

Xie Shangshu's face turned slightly pale, "If you let the seventh old lady know, I'm afraid ......"

At the beginning, he repeatedly promised in the letter that he would definitely save Xie Yun's life, but now he has a fuss about life and death.

How can he explain to the Seventh Old Lady?

It is a matter of not being able to explain to the seventh old lady, and more importantly, Xie Shangshu, as the head of the family, can't even keep his own clan nephew, which seriously damages his prestige in the clan.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll talk about it when the nine bowls come back. Xie Xun sat the cheap father on the official hat chair, and ordered someone to take the secret guard down to the doctor for treatment.

Xie Shangshu found out that a nine bowls that were inseparable from Meng were not by his baby's son today.

"Where did the nine bowls go?"

Xie Shangshu already had a guess in his heart, but he wasn't sure.

Xie Xun played a dumb riddle and asked rhetorically, "Father, the hour seems to be almost over, otherwise, you will go to the court first?" ”

It is indeed not early, and if you delay it any longer, the emperor will arrive even later.

Although the Xie family is powerful, on the bright side, he never does anything to defy the imperial power. People's words are terrifying, and they are ruined, Xie Shangshu knows this truth very well.

"Xie Yun's matter, I'll leave it to Xun'er~"

Xie Shangshu has now learned to delegate power, anyway, his baby son is so powerful, he is happy to be the shopkeeper......

As soon as Wang Qiheng left the courtyard gate, he saw the chief of the following rushing over.

"My lord, it's not good, there was a fire in the prison last night, Xie Langzhong is missing, and I don't know if he lives or dies."

Wang Qiheng's brain boomed, grabbed the placket of the principal's clothes, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

The main thing was repeated again.

Wang Qiheng's eyebrows twisted fiercely, and he asked in a deep voice, "Well, how could there be a fire?" ”

The principal shook his head, "I don't know." The situation was serious, and as soon as the city gate was opened, the lower officials came to report to the lord. ”

"My lord, it's time to go to court." Wang Qiheng's cronies reminded loudly.

Only then did Wang Qiheng abandon the main matter and strode towards the palace......

That morning, Xie Shangshu received many words of comfort from officials from his own faction and rival factions. Those words are nothing more than "Xie Langzhong is sure that he is auspicious, don't worry about Grandpa Guo!" ”

There are also people with bad intentions who take the opportunity to arch the fire, "Grandpa Guo, this fire in the prison of the Criminal Department is not simple......

In the DPRK, as long as there are officials who are a little scheming, they all know that Xie Yun is the only great-grandson of the seventh old lady of the Xie family. If it weren't for this, how could it be the turn of Xie Yun, who was in his early twenties, to sit in the position of the fifth rank of the minister?

Outstanding in learning with Xie Yuncai? Don't make trouble, the Xie family lacks talented children?

Xie Yun's status in the Xie family can be seen.

That person's words clearly implied that someone had deliberately set fire to kill Xie Yun!

Who will set fire to Xie Yun?

Wang Qiheng frowned secretly.

When he heard the news, he knew it would be so.

If it hadn't happened to be the time of the last dynasty, he would have taken a boat back to Beijing.

The emperor originally wanted to force the Wang family to stand up and fight with the Xie family, but now that such a thing has happened, I am afraid that the emperor will take advantage of the topic and lead to trouble......

As soon as the emperor came, he asked about the fire in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

Wang Qiheng, as the left waiter of the Criminal Department, was the first to be attacked when the Shangshu of the Criminal Department went out.

"How did you become this left waiter? I have been on the throne for so many years, and this is the first time that the prison of the Criminal Department has caught fire! ”

Wang Qiheng knelt with his forehead touching the ground, not daring to speak.

The Emperor rebuked angrily for a moment before stopping.

In the end, the emperor ordered, "You find out the cause of the fire as soon as possible and give Xie Shangshu an explanation." Xie Langzhong is an important disciple of the Xie family, and he can't die like this. ”

The hidden meaning of this sentence is too intriguing.

The eyes of the civil and military officials in the hall were focused on Wang Qiheng and Xie Shangshu, and Wang Qiheng had a loud alarm in his heart.

The emperor is forcing him again, forcing the Wang family to make a move!

In one sentence, Wang Qiheng was completely placed on the opposite side of Xie Shangshu, and also provoked a struggle between the Wang family and the Xie family.

After going down, Wang Qiheng chased after Xie Shangshu's buttocks and explained, "Lord Shangshu, please believe Xiaguan, the disappearance of Ling's nephew has nothing to do with the Criminal Department and Xiaguan." ”

Xie Shangshu had a straight face, "The fire in the prison of the Criminal Department, how can it have nothing to do with you Qiheng and the people from the Criminal Department?" Qiheng, you are guilty of lax supervision. ”

Wang Qiheng hurriedly confessed, "Yes, it was the lower official who said it wrong." What Xia Guan meant was that the fire was not set by the people of the Criminal Department. ”

"Who set the fire will have to be checked to find out. Qiheng is better not to make judgments early. Xie Shangshu flicked the sleeves of his robe and strode away.

Such a move, in the eyes of others, is that Xie Shangshu and Wang Qiheng have collapsed.

Hearing the news that Xie Shangshu and Wang Qiheng had a bad chat, the emperor sneered, "It's ridiculous that Wang Qiheng still wants to explain to Xie Fox." ”

In fact, since the decree of marriage was issued, the Wang family and the Xie family have become an undying hostile relationship. It's just that Wang shrunk his neck and didn't show his face before. The Gao and Pei families took the initiative to give away their heads, and the Xie family temporarily let the Wang family go.

Now, after the incident of Xie Yun, look at how the Wang family is still cowering in the shell and not making a move!

Wang Qiheng's face was pale and he didn't return to his residence, so he went straight to the ferry.

He must find out about this matter as soon as possible, and he can't let the misunderstanding continue, otherwise his father's plan will be completely disrupted......

The nine bowls were after Xie Shangshu went down to the court, and he was returning from breakfast with Xie Xun.

Xie Xun frowned and looked at the outfit on Jiuwan's body, "Injured?" ”

Although Jiuwan had already changed his clothes, and there were not many wrinkles, there was faint blood on his body.

Jiuwan bowed, "It's just a small injury." I was in a hurry to report the news to the prince, so I didn't treat the wound. ”

"Don't be in a hurry, go and deal with the wound first, bathe and change clothes, and then talk slowly."

In ancient times, the medical conditions were not good, and a small wound might cause tetanus, and people would be gone.

Jiuwan knew the temper of his own prince, and he was in a hurry to come back, just to let the prince know that there was nothing to do there. He appeared with all his beards and tails, and it had already achieved its effect.
