And when Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion led people to arrive, he saw such a picture.

I saw that the handicraft workshop run by the imperial court was crumbling under the flames, and there was a bang from time to time, and the group of carpenters had long since disappeared.

"Someone put out the fire!"

"Quick!"

Ding Shichang looked at the scene in front of him, and knew very well in his heart that the situation was out of control.

"After all, this is the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one can escape this incident!"

Thinking of this, Ding Shichang immediately called his subordinates and commanded in a deep voice.

"Report this matter to the public, quickly!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

After his subordinates left, Ding Shichang stayed at the scene to organize people to extinguish the fire, and gradually, the fire was gradually controlled, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt charcoal.

"Send someone in to see if you can find any clues!"

Ding Shichang covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, his face was full of disgust, and he commanded.

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

After receiving Ding Shichang's order, there were several guards on the side, who were bold enough to enter it.

After a while, I saw these guards come out of it and report to Ding Shichangyu: "Report to your lordship, we have found several corpses inside!" Judging by the clothes they wear, they should be the officials who govern this place. ”

"Take the official in and have a look."

After Ding Shichang heard the news from his subordinates, his brows furrowed even more, and he said in a deep voice.

"My lord, please come with me."

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the guards, Ding Shichang saw those corpses that had been burned beyond recognition! Their identities can only be guessed from the little fabric on their bodies that is not yet fully burned.

Such a tragic situation made the subordinates who followed behind Ding Shichang couldn't help but turn their faces, and even worse, they directly leaned down and began to retching uncontrollably, tears flowing out of their eyes uncontrollably.

And Ding Shichang also turned pale after observing the tragic condition of these corpses at close range, and his stomach began to roll incessantly.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Ding Shichang holding on not to show anything unusual, and ordered in a deep voice: "Carry these corpses out!" ”

"In addition, send soldiers to set up a card at the door to intercept them, even if they dig three feet into the ground, they must find out this group of bold thieves to this officer!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

……

Soon, the fold presented by Yin Ding Shichang of Shuncheon Mansion was handed to the cabinet through the hands of countless people.

After all, there are a lot of things involved, and it is killing officials and setting fire to the capital, how is this different from rebellion? The people who handle it know what is involved, so it is only fitting that the matter should be handed over to the cabinet.

In the cabinet, several people are dealing with the corresponding notes.

I saw a small official hurriedly running in, holding the music in his hand high above his head, and said loudly: "I've seen the elder of the pavilion, this is the music fold handed over by Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion!" ”

"Shuntian Mansion Yin, could it be that something big happened in the capital?"

After hearing the words of the little official, everyone present thought so.

Immediately after that, Xu Jie stepped forward, took the fold from the hand of the little official, and took it apart, and the content on it made his face change instantly.

"Oh no, something is wrong! The carpenters rebelled! ”

"What?"

Hearing Xu Jie's words, the faces of the rest of the people were full of shock.

Immediately, I saw Yan Song step forward, took the fold from Xu Jie's hand, and after browsing the content on it, he also said: "There is indeed a big incident, the handicraft workshop opened by the imperial court was destroyed by a group of carpenters!" ”

"Not only that, but they also killed the officials among them, and set a fire to the entire workshop!"

Yan Song paused for a moment and added.

"What? Not only killed the court officials, but also set fire to the capital! ”

Gao Gong on the side also frowned after hearing the news, and said in a deep voice.

The remaining Yan Shifan and Zhang Juzheng had gloomy faces, and couldn't help but recall what they had heard before.

"Behind this, Qingliu (Yan Dang) must be doing ghosts!"

Yan Song and Xu Jie immediately glanced at each other, trying to catch a trace of information from each other's eyes.

It's a pity that both of them are thousand-year-old foxes! Therefore, it was all in vain.

After a while, I saw Yan Song cough lightly, and said slowly: "Now that such a big event has happened in the capital, I and Xu Ge will go to report to Your Majesty!" Stay in the Cabinet and keep an eye on it. ”

"Well, you can stay here for now! If there is any news, the camera will decide. ”

Xu Jie also followed up with an order.

"Yes!"

Seeing that the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet spoke at the same time, the remaining three hurriedly responded.

"Elder Yan Ge, let's go!"

"Well, let's go."

Then Yan Song came out of the cabinet tremblingly under the support of Xu Jie.

Almost at the moment when he walked out of the cabinet, Xu Jie was the first to ask: "Elder Yan Ge, what do you think about this matter?" ”

After hearing Xu Jie's question, Yan Song stopped and turned around, and said in a deep voice: "To be honest, this matter is very unexpected to me. ”

"Someone dared to kill an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and not only that, but he also set a fire and burned down the handicraft workshop opened by the imperial court!"

"This is a provocation to the authority of the imperial court, and it is a naked capital crime!"

After Yan Song finished answering Xu Jie's question, he had a slight smile on his face, as if he meant something.

"Yes, I think so too, this is a naked capital crime!"

Xu Jie smiled and responded.

After this temptation, both of them ruled out each other's suspicions.

For no other reason, the risk is not proportional to the benefit.

"Is it really just an accident?"

With such a question in mind, the two came to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Hall to wait for the summons.

……

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are waiting outside the palace, saying that they have something important to report!"

I saw Lu Fang come to Jiajing and said in a low voice.

"Oh, what do the two of them have to report to me?"

When Jiajing heard this, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, and in front of him, there was a piece of white rice paper, on which were written Zhengqingren and four big characters.

"Let the two of them in! No need to report. ”

Jiajing looked at the calligraphy work that was completed by himself in front of him, nodded, and commanded.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave will go and inform them!"

After receiving Jiajing's order, Lu Fang quickly came to the outside of the Heart Cultivation Hall and called Yan Song and Xu Jie in.

As soon as Yan Song and Xu Jie entered the Heart Cultivation Palace, they knelt on the ground, their faces full of self-blame.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!"

"Oh, what are the two Aiqing guilty of?"

Jiajing took in the expressions on Yan Song and Xu Jie's faces, and then rubbed the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand and asked softly.

"That's it...... Just now, Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion handed over a recital, saying that some carpenters in the capital had rebelled! ”

"Not only did they kill the officials in charge of managing the handicraft workshop, but they also set fire to the handicraft workshop run by the imperial court in the capital!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these carpenters are no longer ordinary carpenters, they dare to kill officials and provoke the authority of the imperial court, therefore, Weichen implores Your Majesty to be severely punished!"

Seeing Jiajing's question, Yan Song hurriedly responded, and Xu Jie, who was on the side, also helped on the side.
