"Father-in-law, a fire suddenly broke out in Prince Gong's mansion, and the entire imperial capital was alarmed, and I don't know what he is doing!"

On the same night, in the study of the Marshal's Mansion, he changed into a casual dress and said softly.

Wu Pengli held a book, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and he said slowly: "Shuang'er, there must be a reason for everything, and this reason, according to the various evidence and reasons that I usually see and hear, can basically be inferred." I can't say it's necessarily right, but I can still do it seven or eight times out of ten. ”

Leng Rushuang said: "Oh, what do you think of this fire tonight, father-in-law?"

Wu Peng didn't answer, but asked, "Do you know where the fire is?"

Leng Rushuang was stunned for a moment, and replied: "This frost is not very clear, but I heard that there is fire everywhere." But strangely, the palace did not allow people from outside to help put out the fire, and they worked hard for a while, extinguishing some of the fires, but the biggest fire was not extinguished, and they burned down a house like that. ”

Wu Peng smiled and said, "What kind of house did you burn down, and why did Prince Gong want to watch it burn down?"

Leng Rushuang replied: "Hearsay is not necessarily accurate. Shuang'er heard the maid say that she heard people outside say that it was the firewood room in the palace that was burned. ”

Wu Peng sighed, and then smiled again: "Shuang'er, guess what, why did it burn down the firewood house, why didn't Prince Gong want outsiders to help fight the fire?"

Cold as frost: "Do you really want me to guess?"

Wu Peng said: "Yes." Shuang'er, you are not young, your father-in-law will leave you one day, you have to learn to guess and judge for yourself. Reasoning is an extremely important talent that you have to learn. Otherwise, if you are asked to lead the troops into battle one day, you will be confused, no matter how good your swordsmanship is and how profound your skills are, you will only be one person after all!"

Leng Rushuang said: "Yes." Shuang'er understands that no matter how high the swordsmanship skill is, it is only the enemy of a hundred people, and only the art of war strategy can enable one person to be a hundred thousand male soldiers. ”

Wu Peng smiled and said, "Then guess it! ”

Leng Rushuang thought for a while and said, "Now Shuang'er hasn't seen it with her own eyes, she just heard it from the maid." They said that the firewood room in the palace accidentally caught fire, and because the firewood room was full of dry firewood, there was no way to put out the fire, so they could only watch it burn. Shuang'er felt that this could not be an accidental fire, because the firewood room was separated from other places in order to prevent fire. Therefore, it is impossible that the firewood house can be burned to other places, and there are fires everywhere. It is very likely that this fire was set by someone else. ”

Wu Peng smiled and nodded: "It's kind of interesting." Go on. ”

Coupled with the fact that the palace does not allow outsiders to go in to fight the fire, Shuang'er thinks that there is even more oddity in this. In addition, I also heard that this afternoon, Chiye, who is known as the first top student in the imperial capital in the past hundred years, ran to the palace to find Prince Gong. I don't know what it is, but it's probably related to the fire. ”

"Hmm. Anything else?"

Shuang'er also heard that when there was a fire, Prince Gong and Chiye stood outside the firewood room with a large group of guards, but they were not to put out the fire, let alone that so many people gathered at once after the fire. The fire seems to have been planted by Prince Gong himself. ”

Wu Peng smiled and said: "Then why do you think Prince Gong set fire to his firewood house? Even if he thinks it is dilapidated and wants to rebuild one, then there is no need to make it so earth-shattering!"

Leng Rushuang said: "Yes, Shuang'er also thinks that Prince Gong must want to burn something inside, such as something that is not good for him, and it may even be a person." As for the other fire outside, it must not be that Prince Gong lost his mind and set fire to his palace, it must have been set on fire by someone else, in order to keep Prince Gong busy. ”

Wu Peng nodded approvingly: "It makes more and more sense." Anything else?"

Leng Rushuang said: "Shuang'er thought about it, and felt that it was very likely that there were people hidden in the firewood room, otherwise it wouldn't be like this." But then again, who was so bold as to hide in Prince Gong's firewood room and be burned in the end? And who ran to the palace to set fire to save people? Why did Akano run to the palace this afternoon?"

Wu Peng smiled and took out a piece of paper from the book and handed it to Leng Rushuang. Leng Rushuang looked at it at a glance, and couldn't help but sigh, with a look of surprise on his face: "It turns out that your father-in-law ......"

Wu Peng smiled and said: "How can I not know about such a big fire in Prince Gong's mansion? As a marshal, it is my duty to understand the movements in the imperial capital, otherwise, if anyone gathers people in the imperial capital to rebel, I, the marshal, will not have to do it." ”

Cold as Frost: "......"

Wu Peng put down the book and took back the paper, and when he rubbed it, the paper turned into crumbs and leaked out of it. He looked at the debris that fell down like sand, and said with a smile: "Ling Ye ran away from the edict prison, how can I not care about this kind of thing? I even know that Ling Ye is quite seriously injured, so he has to hide in Prince Gong's firewood room to recuperate. Prince Gong was the one who set the fire. ”

Cold as frost: "...... I didn't have sex with him that day, how could he get hurt? Such a proud person would be hurt too?"

Wu Peng smiled: "Although I don't know why he was injured for the time being, most of it has nothing to do with Akano." Akano was knocked down from the sky, and his colleagues on the Wind Falcon were killed by Ling Ye with a hoe, especially since he was almost killed by Ling Ye, so he hated Ling Ye to the core. As for Prince Gong, there is no need to say more. ”

Leng Rushuang pursed his lips: "I hate the two of them when I see them." ”

Wu Peng smiled and said, "What I'm thinking about now is that for the time being, I don't know where Ling Ye is hiding again. This kid has injuries on his body, and he is unfamiliar with life in the imperial capital, and he has no relatives, but he knows Huang Quan but he will no longer believe him. Well, I wonder where he can hide?"

Leng Rushuang tilted his head and thought about it: "Father-in-law, you can know so much, why don't you know this?"

Wu Peng sighed: "The spies didn't bring the information back, and the stepfather didn't have clairvoyance, so there was nothing to do!"

Cold as Frost: "......"

Wu Peng smiled again and said, "Shuang'er, there is one more thing that my father-in-law wants to mention to you." Don't hate Akano so much, my father-in-law already knows that he will soon come to the door to propose marriage and want to propose to you. ”

Leng Rushuang was taken aback, and then said with a face full of disdain: "Shuang'er will never agree!"

Wu Peng smiled and said: "Shuang'er, it is inevitable that a man should marry a woman when she is married." My frost grows up and always has to get married. Chiye is the first top student in the imperial capital in the past hundred years, born in a nobleman, and now he is the captain of the greedy wolf wing in the kamikaze camp, and he is the same age as you, so he can be said to be a good match, completely matched. Why don't you want to say yes?"

Leng Rushuang pouted and said: "Look down! Three words! It's as simple as that!"
