Chapter 978: Arson by bandits

The water dissolves and dies.

Prince Chungshun also died.

The water dissolved to death, and as expected, everyone was not surprised.

On the contrary, it was the death of this loyal prince that shocked everyone.

In the eyes of everyone, Prince Zhongshun should not have died, at least he should never have died at this time.

Even Emperor Yongtai squinted his eyes, pondered, and said, "Who killed Prince Zhongshun? How do I think there are people behind this who are scheming against me?"

For a while, a figure couldn't help but appear in Emperor Yongtai's mind, but it was Jia Yun's figure.

Jia Yun has always been the object of Emperor Yongtai's anxiety.

Although this Jia Yun has always behaved very deferentially, Emperor Yongtai always felt that this Jia Yun had an ulterior purpose.

There are many Jia Yun's henchmen and protégés in today's imperial court.

If it weren't for the fact that this Emperor Yongtai was in the prime of life, I was afraid that he would really not dare to use this Jia Yun.

Emperor Yongtai immediately ordered someone to investigate the cause of Prince Zhongshun's death.

For a while, there was a lot of turmoil in the capital, all of which were talking about today's incident.

The other ministers also quickly went home to check on the situation and see how the people in their own families were doing, and how the children in the family were doing.

Jia Yun also led the army back at this time, planning to go home to see how Rongguo Mansion and Yun Mansion were doing.

The shouting and killing sounds in the capital seemed to have gradually calmed down with the loud explosion.

After Jia Yun returned to Rongning Street, Rongning Street at this moment was already empty.

Almost all of them hid in their homes, for fear of being killed because they were curious to go out and see things they shouldn't have seen.

The ostrich strategy works in any era.

At this moment, Lin Zhixiao and others in the Rongguo Mansion gathered.

They are the last line of defense.

If these people are gone, I'm afraid that Rongguo Mansion will be gone.

There are many people, gathered together, just to save their lives.

The others came in because they saw that the house slaves of this Rongguo Mansion were gathered together, and there were many people, and it was not easy to provoke.

What's more, these people are men, and they don't have any treasures such as silver on them, and they don't want to go to these people to fight hard.

came to Rongguo Mansion to loot, all for money.

There is no conflict of interests, everyone is naturally calm, and there are few disputes.

Lin Zhixiao and the others gathered together, but they didn't dare to go out, so they could only sigh and say, "Let's stay here, and when they go out, let's go out and have a look."

Everyone nodded and said, "Yes."

They were afraid to go out and fight the robbers, so that they would die.

You only live once.

Who wants to risk their lives?

And behind Lin Zhixiao and the others is the room where the secret passage is located.

As long as they guard this entrance, they can prevent those robbers from killing them, discovering the secret room, and making trouble for Madame Wang and others.

Suddenly, there was a shouting sound outside, and someone came in to look at Lin Zhixiao and the others inside, and said, "Lord Jia ordered us to come in and tell you that the heavenly soldiers of the imperial court have been killed, and the rebellion in the city is also being quelled. You will go out with me, and you will join forces with the outside to destroy the bandits in this house."

When everyone heard about this, they hurriedly fell to the ground with a big stone in their hearts.

In an instant, the crowd followed the man who had come to spread the news.

The robbers, seeing that all the people and the officers and soldiers had come in, also scattered and did not dare to linger in this place.

The people who were hiding in the house could not help but cry and said, "When will the night end? Why haven't the soldiers and horses of the court been killed yet?"

Meanwhile.

Lin Zhixiao, who was in the garden, also instructed the people beside him, "Go and spread the news everywhere,

Let the men in the mansion take action, Master Jia of Yunfu has come back, don't let the master see the joke."

Lin Zhixiao said again, "Go quickly."

And when he had said that, the crowd dispersed in haste.

For a while, the slaves hidden in the corner of the Rongguo Mansion came out one after another and participated in the ranks of the strangled bandits.

These robbers didn't have much intention of fighting, they just came to raid a wave.

Now that they have the hand, they immediately plan to retreat.

The chaotic Rongguo Mansion made everyone in the Yun Mansion next to them also frightened.

Everyone in the Yun Mansion saw Jia Qiang walk in, looked at the people in the house, and said, "Old lady, madam, the old man has come back, and the soldiers and horses of the imperial court are dealing with the situation in the Rongguo Mansion, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the rebellion will be quelled."

When Jia Mu heard this, she immediately felt a lot more relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, this time he is back, and our family will be safe."

Lin Daiyu glanced at Jia Qiang and asked, "Master, where is it now?"

Jia Qiang responded, "Master, I am sitting outside the mansion and commanding the army, and I should come back after a while."

Xue Baochai glanced at Jia Qiang, waved his hand, and said, "Then you go down to see the situation in the mansion first, so that everyone can rest assured, don't worry about chaos."

Xiangling also instructed: "Let people go and prepare to welcome the old man home."

Suddenly, the fire in Rongguo's Mansion was monstrous, but the bandits who did not flee in time saw the officers and soldiers of the imperial court coming, so they secretly said in their hearts: "No, how did the army of the imperial court come back?"

For a while, everyone panicked, and they didn't know what to do.

The dark night gradually dissipated, and the light of the day bathed the world and illuminated the faces of everyone.

"It's dawn!"

Everyone who looked up at the sky, the bandits inside knew that time was running out.

Therefore, these people deliberately set fire to the fire, trying to use this fire to attract the officers and soldiers and the family members of Rongguo Mansion, and buy time for themselves to escape.

If these officers and soldiers and the family members of Rongguo Mansion continue to hunt down and kill themselves, then the entire Rongguo Mansion will burn, and the fire will be monstrous and unstoppable.

If these people don't chase after them, won't they be safe?

For a while, these bandits took action and set fires everywhere.

Ancient houses were made of wood, and screens and so on burned easily.

Once the fire is monstrous and cannot be controlled, I am afraid that it will spread widely.

Didn't a fire in the gourd temple burn down an entire street and destroy the houses in the entire street?

Therefore, when this fire is formed, it becomes more and more uncontrollable.

Lin Zhixiao looked at the burning fire and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly let the people inside come out to put out the fire."

The people inside were also choked by the smoke brought by the fire, and hurriedly walked out of it, coughing in their mouths: "Ahem, cough, hurry up and put out the fire!"
