Chapter 228: Praise, Cruelty, Fire

Morning bells and dusk drums, the capital will implement a curfew at night except for special circumstances.

But curfews are often only aimed at ordinary people, and there are always loopholes for royal relatives like the Loyal Palace.

For example, in the Cuihong Mansion at this time, a person slipped out of the back door and went straight to Dongcheng.

Grandpa God, why did that master have the leisure to come to Cuihong Mansion tonight to have fun...... No, it's madness!

Fang Zheng was dragged up from the bed, and after seeing the cyan token in the man's hand by the light of the oil lamp, he crawled and opened the door of the fang.

After the man left, he smiled weirdly, patted the dust off his body, and walked towards a seemingly ordinary yard without stopping.

Jia Cong is holding a big piece of Shanshan melon and gnawing on Zhenghuan, tonight's play of the Thirteenth Master is fucking good-looking.

The entire Cuihong Mansion is full of white flowers, and it would look better if you changed the gender.

Although he is still just a boy, he has come to the land of wind and moon, and he always feels that there are shortcomings when he sees this group of big men writhing around here.

The old bustard is not the real steward, the real steward will lie at Liu Ke's feet.

Just now, this guy was a little more noisy, and the soldiers of the Zhongshun Palace's relatives came to find a sturdy rattan out of nowhere, and the whole back was blood-red.

"Jump! Give me a good jump!"

Liu Ke sat on a high chair with a golden knife, and the guards were watching in a circle.

On the high platform built in the center of the first floor of the Emerald Red Building, it was originally a place for dancing girls, and at this time there were several men with blushing faces......

Including the officials who were pointed out by Liu Ke before, Chi Guo, who was embarrassed and embarrassed, writhed his body.

It's not that they haven't thought about resisting, but tonight's Prince Zhongshun is red-eyed, and he will go crazy at the slightest disagreement, and he won't leave any room for it.

Zhen Yingfu in the Ministry of Martial Arts Election Shilang will not say anything, how long did it take for Mrs. Fengsheng to die, he was originally going to keep filial piety at home, but he dared to come to the land of Fengyue to have a good time, I really don't know how to write the word death.

Liu Ke did not hesitate to take him with a knife, and with an order, the soldiers directly took it down, and after thirty sticks, the sixth master of the Zhen family was beaten and couldn't move, and the group of people in the Qinglou who were shocked didn't dare to breathe.

"Don't you all say that you are a good man on weekdays? Today's master is really a good man, so you should be a rabbit master!"

The luthiers and drummers worked tremblingly to maintain the music, and the people on the high platform danced for a full two quarters of an hour.

Jia Cong couldn't stand it anymore, covered his eyes and muttered, "It's too spicy, I'm almost blind!"

"Where is this? This king wants everyone in the capital to know tonight what it means to rob people's women, and this king is so ruthless that he even robs men!"

Liu Ke really plans to go crazy this time, since someone wants to make him feel unhappy, then no one can think about comfort.

Belch......

"Thirteenth Master, aren't you afraid that this group of people will join you when they go back?"

"Join me? Do they dare?"

Liu Ke seemed to have heard a big joke and laughed. Z.br>

He stared at the writhing people on the high platform, and sneered, "One of them counts as one, and none of them are clean. Do they dare to join this king? Do you want to say in the excerpt that this king blocked them in the green building?"

"Forget it, this king is here tonight, and he doesn't have time to waste time with this group of scum. Throw these people out!"

"Old lady, serve wine and food, then all the little ladies in your building are invited, and this king wants to see the Qunmei Club!"

Bang bang bang......

The outside of the Cuihong Building has long been crowded with people watching the excitement, such as the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Nanchifang City, most of them are high-ranking officials and nobles, and at least they are people with meritorious names or gorgeous words.

The soldiers of the loyal royal palace obeyed the orders of their own prince, not to mention driving them away, and even gave up the best place to watch, leaving enough space for appreciation.

When the people of Chiguoguo were thrown out, the outside of the building instantly boiled.

Liu Ke didn't even look at it and sneered

said, "It's so good, the capital can always give this king new fun. Early tomorrow morning, the ugliness of this group of people tonight will spread all over the capital. Jia Xiaosan, guess what's the reason for this king?"

Jia Cong pondered, "Do you want others to dare not come to the Cuihong Mansion, so as to cut off this source of wealth from the Loyal Palace?"

"It's smaller!"

Liu Ke poured himself a drink, admiring the new dancing girl on the high platform: "Isn't the old fourteenth known as the "virtuous king" who respects etiquette and etiquette? Sage Kong didn't teach this group of people to come to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion to discuss the way of the sage, right? This king wants everyone in the world to see what the talents recruited by the old fourteen are!"

Jia Cong nodded and said, "No, a real scholar, I don't have the time and money to come to the gold cave like Cuihong Mansion to learn the Analects from *** in a gold cave......

"Lord Wang, the prime minister is here!"

Syllable!

Jia Cong raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, what did he just say?

The two turned their heads and looked, the old man in the Confucian robe who walked in from the gate, who was not the old man Wei who was the first assistant of the cabinet?

The corners of Liu Ke's mouth twitched, and he suddenly wanted to run away.

It's a pity that the door was blocked by the old man, who was staring at himself with a smile.

He had to smile awkwardly and got up to greet him, "Student to meet Master Wei, why did you come to such a place all the time?"

Including Liu Ke, all the sons of the emperor are all enlightened by the old man, Liu Ke will be the most naughty, and there is no old man to beat his palms.

He is now in his thirties, and when he sees the old man, his palms still ache faintly, just like a mouse sees a cat.

Wei Qinghe gently patted Liu Ke's shoulder and said with a smile, "I was drinking with a few old friends, and I heard that it was lively here, so I came to see ......

"What, it's pickled here, why don't you send it back to rest first?"

Liu Ke wanted to send the big guy away, but unfortunately Wei Qinghe looked at the dancing girl on the high platform, and squeezed his eyes at Liu Ke with a smile: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, don't you want to invite me, the teacher, to have a drink of flower wine?"

Click, click, click!

Jia Cong was shocked and speechless, the old man still has this hobby?

Not only Jia Cong was shocked, but Liu Ke also couldn't cry or laugh: "The student is not unwilling, the student is afraid of being hung up and smoked by the teacher!"

"Okay, okay, the old man doesn't plan to do anything, I'm just worried that you bastard won't be able to control it and cause a big mess."

Wei Qinghe said, and Liu Ke helped him to sit on the high chair: "Why is it so noisy today, who provoked you?"

The soldiers brought a chair, and Liu Ke sat with him and explained in a whisper.

After hearing this, the old man frowned and said, "The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for profit. The huge profits of hibiscus paste are irrepressible, and you have handled it very well. Don't get involved in this matter of South Vietnam, the cabinet will deal with it itself."

"Jinzhi (Liu Ke's character), do you remember what the old man said when he gave you this word?"

Liu Ke replied respectfully: "You said that the "poem" is cloudy, gentle day and night, and the teaching is serious. You let the students be lazy and cautious in the future. Fear the destiny of heaven, merciful downward, do not take the road of abusing the people, and do not have tyrannical behavior. He shall not be a wise king, but a fortress of the kingdom."

Wei Qinghe nodded with satisfaction: "You did it!"

The simple four words made Liu Ke's eyes red.

How many people scolded him for being arrogant and arrogant, and he was extravagant, but he never thought about the pieces that impeached him, and none of them contained anything about oppressing the people.

Everyone under his whip is a noble official and a high-ranking slave who oppresses the people.

A man in his thirties turned red because of the old man's four words, which made Jia Cong look very novel.

"Laojun, Laojun, you can also give me a word......

Rubbing and rubbing, the old man saw Jia Cong squeezing over, stretched out his hand and rubbed his round head, and said with a smile: "Your words are not the turn of the old man, Your Majesty has already thought of it for you, do you want to know?"

Jia Cong immediately turned into a licking cat, and said with a smile: "Think, think!"

"I won't tell you!"

Get out of here!

The old man looked at the grudged little fat man and laughed.

Liu Ke saw that the teacher was having a good time, and he was also happy, so he waved his hand: "What are you doing in a daze, good wine and good food are served, and then music and dance!"

The wind and rain in the emerald red building seemed to be blown away, and under the protection of a circle of pro-soldiers, a Zaifu of the dynasty, a prince, and a purple-robed child pushed the cup and changed the lamp.

The wind and rain outside the building had just begun, and at least a few people who had arrived in Nanchifang City one after another hid on the side with cold faces, hesitating to go in or not.

"How could Wei Qing and this old horseman be inside? If it is easy to say that Lao Thirteen and the Jia family are both children, and if Wei Qinghe is also there, it will be difficult to deal with this matter today."

Liu Xi hurried to catch up, but in the end he was still a step late.

The Emerald Red Mansion is not a simple place to collect money, but also a tool he uses to collect intelligence.

There are some things in it that can't be seen, and the old thirteen haven't noticed it yet, but if he finds out, he's afraid that he will make a big mess.

"Lord Wang, the weather is dry, and the Yuelai Restaurant next to it is about to catch fire. In this way, for the sake of the safety of the Great Minister and the Loyal Prince, we ask them to leave this place......

The dog-headed military advisor next to him had a lot of ghost ideas, Liu Xi looked at the Yuelai Restaurant next to him, and could faintly see people coming and going from the projected lights.

He snorted coldly: "Go ahead, remember not to show your feet, you've done enough tricks!"

There will be very little rain this autumn, and a single spark can start a fire in the arid Northland.

The dog-headed military division was about to go down to arrange the operation, and the commander of the pro-soldiers beside Liu Xi gritted his teeth and stepped forward to persuade: "Lord Wang, there are many people in the Yuelai Restaurant, won't this fire kill a lot of people?"

"What does the undead have to do with this king?"

The gloom on Liu Xi's face frightened the commander of the pro-soldiers, and he hurriedly lowered his head: "My subordinates feel that water and fire are ruthless, if the fire burns, I am afraid that the entire Nanchifang City will be in continuous fire, which will hurt the heavens and the prince!"

"Huh! I didn't expect that there was a compassionate saint next to this king......

The face of the commander of the pro-soldier turned red when he was ridiculed by Liu Chen, but he did not flinch. He still wanted to persuade again, but saw Liu Xin wave his hand: "I remember that you still have some merits over the years, and this king will not care about your presumptuous today." It's up to you to set this fire!"

"Lord Wang......"

"Stand down!"

Liu Chen's arbitrariness silenced all the people under him.

The commander of the pro-army could only bow down helplessly and retreat. Liu Xi didn't let go of the matter, but instead attracted someone to advise: "You go and keep an eye on Ma Sanhe, if he has different intentions, hum!"

He made a throat-slitting motion, and then stared coldly at the Emerald Red Mansion not far away.

"If only we could burn these three to death, but it's not time yet!"

This kind of stuff is still very delicious, Jia Cong drank a lot, patted his bulging belly, and buzzed.

People have three urgencies, he hugged his round belly and whispered to Jia Shiyi, "Urgency, Uncle Eleven will accompany me to the toilet."

"Ah~cool!"

Jia Cong finished draining and shivered.

The sound of silk and bamboo in the front yard was endless, and the cleanliness of the backyard actually made Jia Cong a little unaccustomed.

When the moon is in the sky, the breeze is blowing...... A strange smell rushed into the nostrils.

"Uncle Eleven, it seems to smell of fire oil!"

"I smell it too."

Jia Shiyi jumped up, stepped on the eaves of the second floor, looked around, but saw nothing.

The lights are brilliant under the eyes, and the night in Nanchifang City is really intoxicating.

The brightly lit Nanchifang City is full of merchants gathered here, and people come and go. Jia Shiyi's eyesight is very good, and he didn't find anything abnormal after checking it for a long time.

He had just jumped down, and was about to speak, but his ears moved......

"Looks like someone is fighting!"

Following the sound, Jia Shiyi jumped up and landed on the wall to look at the shadows outside, sure enough

There are a few dark shadows fighting.

Whoa, whoa!

It is difficult for people to climb the wall when they are fat, Jia Cong finally climbed the wall, only glanced at it and said, "Siege, it's too shameless."

Then he took out the slingshot pinned to his waist, loaded the slingshot and pulled the bow, and hit it with a snap.

The head is still so good, and one of them turned into a prawn all of a sudden.

There was a gap in the besieged circle, and the besieged people saw the opportunity to flee to Jia Cong's side.

However, after seeing the child on the wall, he paused at his feet, gritted his teeth and was about to run in the opposite direction, but was slashed in the shoulder by a person.

"He's a good man, Uncle Eleven saves people!"

actually gave up his life because he was afraid of causing trouble to himself, which made Jia Cong very surprised and admired at the same time.

Jia Cong rode on the wall and shot repeatedly.

A cold light flashed, and Jia Shiyi had already drawn his sword and rushed down the wall, slashing one by one, killing two people in an instant.

The back door of the Cuihong Mansion was opened, and the soldiers of the Rongguo Mansion who were responsible for protecting Jia Cong's safety in the dark also rushed out.

As soon as those people saw that the situation was not good, they immediately ran away, leaving only one person lying on the ground who did not know whether he was alive or dead......

"Strange, I think I've seen this person!"

Through the faint light of the lantern, Jia Cong looked curiously at the unconscious person.

An ordinary warrior in a strong suit, about thirty years old, with a square face and sword eyebrows, but he looks good.

"Who? Who? Let me see ......."

I don't know when, Liu Ke also came out of the back door, squeezed in to take a look, and wondered: "Isn't this Ma Sanhe? Why are you here?"

Jia Cong asked suspiciously, "Thirteenth Master, do you know?"

"Of course I know, he is one of the commanders of the personal soldiers under the old fourteen, and he was given to him by his father back then."

Liu Ke's voice was like a good medicine, waking up Ma Sanhe, who was seriously injured and unconscious, only to see him struggling to get up, but saw a large amount of blood flowing out of his shoulder near his neck.

Jia Shiyi hurriedly held it down: "Don't move, I'll give you medicine......

"Thirteenth Master, someone wants to burn down Yuelai Restaurant...... Help!"

Ma Sanhe was seriously injured, and after saying this, he fainted again.

Liu Ke raised his eyes and saw that the Yuelai Restaurant was brightly lit, and he frowned and said, "Who is so bold, this Yuelai Restaurant is the property of Uncle Ji Wanghuang......

Jia Cong sniffled, and the smell of fire oil became more and more obvious.

He hurriedly said, "Thirteenth Master, don't worry about these things first, you smell this smell, it's fire oil. If someone really wants to set fire, it is more important to disperse the people in the restaurant as soon as possible."

It is urgent to save people, and Liu Ke can't care about spilling in Cuihong Mansion, while ordering people to notify Yuelai Restaurant, he beckons people to look around for the person who set the fire.

It's a pity that those thieves have already sensed that the situation is wrong, and the soldiers of the Zhongshun Palace's personal soldiers just rushed into the restaurant, and there was a loud bang, and the fire around the restaurant almost at the same time.

In the dry season, the wooden restaurant was burned by the fire of the oil and suddenly became a huge fireball.

The panicked people in the building crowded the staircase, and several people had already been trampled to death in the stampede.

The desire to survive these people didn't think about what order was at all, and the soldiers of the loyal royal palace didn't have the idea of sacrificing themselves, and only brought out the people around them in the crisis, and almost all the people on the second and third floors were engulfed in the fire.

This is not counting, the fire scattered with the wind, almost all the pavilions adjacent to the Yuelai Restaurant were lit, fortunately, it was adjacent to the South Pond, and it was convenient to get water.

Wei Qinghe, who was about to be sent out of Fang City by the personal soldiers of the Zhongshun Palace, suddenly stopped, and his usual cloudy eyes stared at the shadows in the distance.

He had an eerie intuition that someone was staring at him.

"Let's go there and see......

The captain of the pro-soldier glanced over there, and said vigilantly, "Great Minister, the prince asked the last general to send you back to the house

Rest."

Wei Qinghe frowned, and the majesty of Shoufu was fully revealed: "Go to someone and see who's there!"

Lord Shoufu took a step back, and the captain of the pro-soldier naturally didn't dare to refuse anymore, so he arranged for the two of them to go to the shadows to check.

After a while, the two of them quickly replied: "Qi Qi Gong, there are indeed people who have stayed there, and it is speculated that there are about ten people according to the footsteps left. But when the last general went to check it out, he had already left."

"Go back to the Emerald Red Mansion!"

Wei Qinghe didn't give the pro-soldier captain a chance to refuse at all, turned around and walked towards the Cuihong Building.

He had no choice but to follow, and the group quickly returned to the Emerald Red Mansion.

"Order the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and Shuntian Mansion to transfer 2,000 forbidden troops to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to blockade Nanchifang City, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Let your prince come back and carefully search the Cui Red Mansion, this pavilion has a feeling that this fire is someone who doesn't want this pavilion to continue to stay here!"

Liu Ke came back from outside with a disgraced face, only to see that the old man was still sitting high, and said anxiously, "Master Wei, why are you still here? This fire was deliberately set by someone, and no one can guarantee that they will not set another fire, so you better go back quickly, there are students here, and it will be fine!"
