Hundreds of people were busy for a long time, and when it was almost time, the pavilion guards extinguished the last bit of open fire.

At this time, this place in Qili is like a pus-draining scar, which is shocking.

Zhi Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin came to investigate the scene and found that the deceased was the military Sima of the General's Mansion, of course, he refused to slack off, and immediately went to the General's Mansion to report.

To their surprise, however, the general did not seem surprised—had someone told him about it in advance?

Huo Guang listened carefully to the statements of the two and did not say a word from beginning to end.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, when such a bad thing happens, it must not be ignored, and the case must be closed as soon as possible, so as not to disturb the holy driver."

"No."

After Huo Guang sent the two away, he tidied up his clothes and took a carriage to Weiyang Palace.

The stakes are big, and I still have to say goodbye to the Son of Heaven.

……

In fact, when Zhi Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin walked into the General's Mansion, Liu He already knew about it.

The fire last night was too big, and the smoke blew over Weiyang Palace with the blessing of the north wind, and Liu He was awakened in a dream.

Liu He is very sensitive to fire, and he knows that fire has always been a cloak of conspiracy.

So after waking up from his dream, he never slept again.

When Liu He learned that Qi Li was on fire, he wanted to go to the direction of Beique many times to take a look, but was stopped by Gong Sui, an old man.

"What happened in the city, the situation is still unclear, Changyi Lang is now only ten people, Your Majesty should not risk his life, it is better to stay in Weiyang Palace."

"If Your Majesty insists on going, then first remove the old man from his official position as a general in Changyi, and then drive the old man out of the palace, and at that time, Your Majesty can go wherever he wants, and the old man will never stop him."

Under Gong Sui's obstruction, Liu He had no choice but to give up and wait restlessly in the Xuanshu Palace.

Liu He didn't wait too long, just after Mao, the sweaty Dai Zong ran into the Xuanshu Hall with the latest news to report to Liu He.

"The general's mansion was killed, the whole family was killed, and the house was set on fire, and in two or three hours, it burned to the ground."

"Really?" Liu He asked with some disbelieving.

"Weichen rushed to Qili very early, where he met the dispatching Zhi Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin, and inquired with them about the news."

"Later, Weichen released a few Changyi orphans, and they also heard some gossip, and the two were put together, and they were basically correct."

Those Changyi orphans were between the ages of ten and thirteen, and they were trained by Dai Zong to be very alert, and although they were vulnerable in frontal combat, they were indeed good at finding out the news.

In the month I came to Chang'an, because these orphans were "rich and generous", they all became the child kings in Chang'an City.

No disturbance in the city can hide from their eyes and ears.

There were about forty or fifty Changyi orphans who had come to Chang'an, and at this moment, together with the local children who had gathered around them, there were already eight or nine hundred people.

Dai Zong used the method that Liu He had taught him before, and lined them out in layers, one circle after another, and managed them in an orderly manner.

With them, Liu He slept better again.

Although Dai Zong brought some news, it was still very scattered and vague.

"Did Jing Zhaoyin and Zhijingo catch the murderer or suspicious characters?"

"They were never caught, but it is said that the rangers were seeking revenge, and they left a handwriting on the wall that had not been burned, saying that they had come to seek revenge for the deceased."

When Liu He heard this, he sneered, if he had been in Changyi Country before, he might have been deceived if he was lonely and unheard.

But since he saw that Guo Kai, he understood that this must be a frame-up.

Even if the ranger wants to avenge his old friend, he will not choose to do it late at night and leave a word, which is too dark.

Killing Wang Xian directly at the gate of the General's Mansion, or killing Wang Xian directly in front of Huo Guang, is what the ranger looks like in his eyes.

What's more, Guo Kai is not in Chang'an City, and no one else can do this earth-shattering thing.

Since it's fake, then some people want to cover it up, and there must be something greasy in it.

It's just that Liu He doesn't know who made this cat and what the purpose is.

Rush yourself, or rush Huo Guang, or rush the army that is being drawn one after another.

Just when Liu He fell into deep thought, Fan Ke came in to pray.

"Your Majesty, the general is coming soon."

"Him?" Liu He rarely saw Huo Guang during this time, and he was happy to be idle.

At this moment, Huo Guang is visiting, I'm afraid it's not for other things, it's for this king's dedication.

Liu He really wanted to hear what new news Huo Guang could bring.

"You go to the apse for a while, and come with me to listen to what Huo Guang said."

"No!"

As soon as Dai Zong hid in the apse, Huo Guang walked into the main hall.

As in the past, with a sword hanging from his waist and shoes on his feet, he walked neither fast nor slow, but he was vigorous.

Liu He, who was still calm just now, immediately changed to a frightened expression, and before Huo Guang could speak, Liu He asked anxiously.

"Father Zhong, what happened in this Qili, why is there such a big fire, is it the careful work of the Huns to make trouble?" Liu He asked with a look of horror.

"Your Majesty was frightened, the Huns never dared to come to Chang'an, it was a few rangers who did a big case, killed the whole family of Sima Wang Xian in the old man's mansion, and set a fire to the ......"

Then, Huo Guang told the matter little by little.

Liu He listened very carefully, and the details were not much different from what Dai Zong had just said.

Judging from all indications, it seems that it was a case done by a ranger, but Liu He still didn't believe it.

"What did this Wang Xian do that would make the ranger hold a grudge?"

"He was a prisoner in Zuo Fengyi when he was young, maybe he had a grudge with the rangers at that time."

Huo Guang said lightly, and seemed to care about Wang Xian's death.

Liu He's suspicion became heavier and heavier, but he couldn't ask questions, so he could only keep repeating his horror, in exchange for Huo Guang's false apologies and a little sincere persuasion.

Half an hour later, Huo Guang left under the pretext of being busy with military affairs, and Liu He immediately called Dai Zong out.

"Do you see anything suspicious?"

"The general seemed calm, without the slightest hint of anger."

Yes, Huo Guang is a person who must be compared, and it is so strange that the trusted military Sima is dead, but he is indifferent.

"I can't think of a reason for this fantasy, so I have to continue to investigate and investigate to the end."

"No!"

"Also, regardless of the reason for this, I have decided to take advantage of the situation, and there are two things for you to do."

"We're waiting for the order."
