Chapter 269: The Great Fire of the Palace

After breakfast, Xu Ping'an went straight out of the door and came to Beishi to find out if there was any place to rent a house.

After tonight, for the time being, Gao Yang can only be placed outside.

After a lot of tossing and turning, I finally asked about a rented house in a merchant, called Oak Seal Courtyard.

It's not big or small, and it can accommodate seven or eight people, and it's always been enough.

He went out of town anyway, went to see it beforehand, and thought it was okay to pay the money and get the key.

At that moment, he smiled bitterly.

laughed at himself: "Why did I become one of those big masters, I didn't dare to blatantly take concubines, so I hid my wife in the golden house outside with my knotted hair!"

He felt that what had happened to him was too magical.

Then he bought some sundries everywhere and asked people to help send them to the Oak Seal Courtyard, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to find Wen Po in Yangzhou City for the time being.

I don't know Princess Gaoyang.

After doing this, he didn't return to the assassination of Shifu, he wandered around the city, aimlessly, waiting for Gao Xianzhi to send someone to bring death row prisoners.

Li Ji had already told him that the seriousness must be absolutely highly confidential, so Xu Ping'an was not worried that he would have any leaks.

The backyard of the Assassin's Mansion.

Yu Youwei sat in the small pavilion, listening to the report of the outsiders.

At this moment, Wei Yi was waiting outside with the owner of the Oak Annex.

"Earlier, that Lang Jun rented a mansion outside the city in the hands of the villain, and nothing more, and then that Lang Jun seemed to buy a lot of daily groceries from the nearby vendors. ”

"And then the villain doesn't know. ”

The middle-aged Confucian who looks like a blue cloth on his head is the owner of the Oak Seal Courtyard, and he was invited here by Wei Yi.

Yu Youwei's willow eyebrows bent, and her eyes were puzzled, what did he suddenly rent a house for?

She didn't think that Xu Ping'an liked the house and wanted to take herself to where she was going, after last night, out of a woman's intuition and understanding of the person next to the pillow, she concluded that Xu Ping'an had something to hide from her.

Now that I think of it together, it's even more inspiring.

"Don't be nervous, Madame Ben is just asking you. ”

"Think about it again, what is unusual about what my husband can say?" asked Yu Youwei lightly.

"This..."

"Unusual place..."

The middle-aged man frowned, as if reminiscing.

Then his expression relaxed, and he said: "Madam, I don't know if this counts, but when I rented the yard, I asked some things about Wen Po." ”

Yu Youwei frowned, her face was not very good-looking, and she waved her hand.

"Wei Yi sent him out and gave him some silver taels. ”

"Yes!"

The two then left.

She sat in the pavilion, looking like she was in thought, her willow eyebrows were constricted, and her pretty face did not look kind at all.

Xiao Ying on the side smiled and said, "Madam, what's wrong with you, didn't you say that we are going to move out again? Now my uncle is looking for a new house, isn't this good?"

Yu Youwei didn't answer her, but asked, "What about Li Ji?"

Xiao Ying's face flashed a trace of unnaturalness, and a flush rose, she knew that her wife and aunt intended to marry her to Li Ji.

"This... The warbler doesn't know very well. ”

"I heard Chen Sheng say that it seems that he didn't come back last night. ”

Hearing this, Yu Youwei nodded, and didn't say anything after thinking about it.

Her beautiful eyes flickered, thinking about whether she should take the initiative to go to the house to take a look, or wait for Xu Ping'an to tell her herself.

In one night, the slight dissatisfaction in her heart disappeared, even if she had a concubine, she could accept it.

As long as he has himself in his heart.

As an eldest woman, she should also be generous, she deeply understands that a jealous woman will be disliked, especially in some aspects too calculating.

Although Xu Ping'an is half a son-in-law, everyone knows that if it weren't for him, the Assassin Mansion would have suffered several catastrophes.

At night, when it's ugly.

Xu Ping'an finally waited for Gao Xianzhi's people, and his personal guards personally escorted a few arrested rogues, all of whom were death row prisoners.

And regardless of body shape and gender, it is the right number with Princess Gaoyang and the subordinates.

In the past two days, the curfew has just been lifted, so the city of Yangzhou is full of people who come out to play, and it is simply a city that never sleeps.

At this moment, tongues of fire pierced through the sky, and billowing smoke came out from King Yong's mansion.

Almost half of Yangzhou City can be seen, so that hundreds of people pay attention to the discussion, and some of the more enthusiastic people go to the government to report to the official.

In the Yongwang Mansion, it has already become a pot of porridge.

"Yunqing Pavilion is on fire, come on!" someone roared.

"Hurry up, go to the well to get water!"

"Oh no, the princess is sleeping, but the house has burned down!"

“......”

King Yong was standing outside the fire at the moment, his face was full of scum, and his life was extremely unsatisfactory.

At this time, the sea of fire was reflected in his eyes, and he was stunned, the corners of his mouth lifted a vicious smile, and he scolded in a gloomy voice: "Slut, God has eyes!"

He didn't feel sad at all, but felt relieved, as long as Gao Yang died, he would be the one to say in the palace in the future, who would dare to care if he liked men or not, and who would dare to say anything!

The most important thing is that although Liu Rubai is dead, he still believes Liu Rubai's words and thinks that Princess Gaoyang is probably cuckolding him!

"Fight the fire, put out the fire!"

"My princess, my Gaoyang!"

He fell to the ground with his hair scattered, and cried out in a mournful voice, how similar he looked, but in fact his heart was extremely dark.

Dozens of subordinates all ran wildly with buckets and rushed to Yunqing Pavilion to extinguish the fire.

A bucket of water, facing the flames of a beast, is too much of a drop in the bucket.

After a while, the entire fire spread, enveloping the entire backyard and turning into a no-man's land, and no one dared to enter it.

Fortunately, the flames were discovered in time, even if some walls were demolished, the entire Yongwang Mansion was not damaged.

Not long after, a large number of people from the government arrived, and they were in a hurry.

There is no way, the place where the fire broke out is Yongwangfu, and no matter how much you don't like it, as long as you die of an important person, it's a big trouble.

No one dares to be sloppy.

Hundreds of people began to extinguish the fire one after another, and it lasted for three hours before the main flame was extinguished, and only a local flame remained.

But everyone knows that something big is wrong, something big is wrong.

The entire backyard was burned to the ground, and only the dead wood and charcoal were left, and even a fairy couldn't survive in it!

The officers and soldiers counted the scene with their scalps and found several corpses with charred bones, which almost turned to ashes!

The whole audience was shaken, and a princess died in the fire!

King Yong's cloak was scattered, as if he had fallen into a demon, and he frantically rushed to the old site of Yunqing Pavilion, crying in his mouth: "Gao Yang... Gao Yang, the king's Gao Yang!"

"Why did you leave me first?"

"What's the use of this king living alone, it's better to die here!"
