Chapter 80: Prince Rui's Revenge
The biggest strange thing in the capital these days was the sudden fire in Baixiang Building.
Baixianglou is the largest restaurant in the capital. The owner behind it has always been very mysterious. Now it has turned into ashes overnight, which makes everyone in the capital feel very sad.
Jingzhaoyin rushed to Baixianglou immediately. After checking for two days, he found that the candles in a guest room were not extinguished. At night, the candles fell down, lit the wooden table and lit the mattress one after another.
In addition, the dry things in the sky and the fire was too fast, which caused the Baixiang Tower to burn all out.
Although there were no casualties among the guests, all the officials in Baixianglou were buried in the fire. In one night, Baixianglou, which was once a household name, disappeared.
Imperial Palace, Divine Hall.
Emperor Yuanzhen sat on the dragon throne with a smile in his eyes.
"Heng'er is better. I know that my national treasury is tight and I have sent so many boxes of rare treasures."
The fire in Baixiang Tower was naturally done by Lu Qianheng. Baishengxin has always been Lu Yanhao's money tree. Now Baishengxin is dead, so naturally no one in charge of Baixiang Tower. Before he sent someone to burn the building, he found countless gold and silver treasures in the secret passage of Baixiang Tower, and moved directly to the palace. The palace of Zuorui did not look down on these.
Eunuch Li secretly complained: Your Majesty, it was obvious that His Highness first picked out a few rare women's belongings and gave them to Miss Yun. The rest is not rare and has no place to be put on, so they moved to you. What are you proud of?
But he didn't dare to say it, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness is indeed extremely filial. When you get the good things, you hurriedly delivered them to Your Majesty."
Emperor Yuanzhen's eyes narrowed into a slit when he smiled, and nodded and said, "Indeed, I didn't love him in vain. I wrote a letter to my brother another day to make him jealous!"
Eunuch Li laughed at her face, but thought to herself: With the old prince's temper, after reading the letter, he might as well send someone to move it away for you.
In recent days, the sky is blue and the clouds are sparse, and the sun is beautiful and the wind is clear. It seems to be unshockless, but in fact it is surging.
In Liyu Town, not far from the capital, robbers have been rampant recently, robbing families and robbing all the women. The local government office has also sent yamen to suppress and capture them many times, but unfortunately they all returned without success.
This time, he even snatched the head of the local wealthy Zhang family. It is said that the young master of the Zhang family was robbed on the road when he returned home. Zhang Shenyuan has only had the share of bullying others since he was born, so he was not bullied. After resisting, he was killed by the robbers and was stabbed several times, and his death was miserable.
Zhang Youcai had only one son. After seeing Zhang Shenyuan's body, he burst into tears.
Then he joined hands with the government office and paid for the people to suppress the bandits, but he was killed by all the bandits again.
Zhang Youcai's only heir was gone, and no one inherited the Shuo family's business, so he also tried his best. He actually gathered all the villagers in the town, distributed them silver, and asked them to jointly write a letter to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion in the capital, which was bound to avenge Zhang Shenyuan.
Jingzhao Yin Song Guang was also very angry when he learned about this and immediately sent troops to suppress him. As a result, the officers and soldiers died in Liyu Town!
You should know that the officers and soldiers of Jingzhao Yin Mansion have completely different combat power than those of Liyu Town! But they also died in Liyu Town, which is simply a fantasy.
When the news came back, Song Guang stood up and couldn't believe it at all.
The officers and soldiers of the capital can't defeat a group of bandits?
It's so ridiculous!
You can't let the court send a general to suppress the bandits, right?
Then you won’t laugh at other countries’ big teeth!
So Song Guang sent someone to Liyu Town, and he had to bring back the corpses of the officers and soldiers who had sent before for inspection. Could it be that there were people with high martial arts skills among the bandits?
This incident naturally alarmed Emperor Yuanzhen. Emperor Yuanzhen was furious in the morning court and ordered Jingzhao Yin to fight all his strength to suppress the bandits and to uproot these bandits.
Wuwei has had some clues in pursuing Yun Zifei's affairs in the past few days. After hearing what he found, Yun Chaoran had a headache.
He has heard of the sister of the owner of Baixianglou. It is said that she is as beautiful as a flower and has always been held in the palm of her hand by the owner of Baixianglou.
If the woman on the third prince’s wedding day was her, it would be possible. The owner of Baixianglou is a person who is good at tricks and will definitely revenge. If his sister is really the King of Heart Rui, then it makes sense that she will attack Fei'er.
The most difficult thing to do is that the Baixiang Building no longer exists and the owner has disappeared without a trace. How can you avenge this revenge?!
Yun Chaoran was filled with sorrow because the Baixiang Tower was burned, while the Eighth Prince's Mansion was even more frustrating because of the disappearance of Baishengxin.
Baixiang Tower turned into ashes overnight, Baishengxin was gone, and there was no trace of Bai Lian'er. Lu Yanhao found the two of them for a long time, but there was no news at all!
On that day, Yum Shengxin took Zhang Jing away from the prince's mansion to exchange Bai Lian'er and disappeared. He completely lost a money tree. Without Yum Shengxin, it would be difficult for him to fight Lu Yanxuan.
Just as Lu Yanhao was worried about the matter of Yumeng, Jingzhao Yin's men also brought back the bodies of officers and soldiers who were killed by bandits.
It doesn’t matter if the coroner investigates it, it’s so scary!
He immediately reported to Song Guang. Song Guang rushed over after hearing the news. After seeing the body, he felt cold sweat falling and said in his mind, "It's a lot of troublesome autumn!"
The bodies of the killed officers and soldiers were not abnormal. The blame was on their military uniforms. The uniforms of ordinary officers and soldiers in Dayue were made of rhino leather. Although they were not invulnerable to swords and guns, they could resist ordinary swords.
However, the military uniforms worn by these corpses were cut open after being cut by bandits, and there was no cotton cloth inside. If you look closely, you will find that the outside is not rhino leather, but ordinary cowhide. Compared with rhino cowhide, the defense strength is very different.
Song Guang urgently entered the palace to report the matter to Emperor Yuanzhen. Emperor Yuanzhen looked at the military uniforms of the officers and soldiers and directly shook the white jade teacup in his hand into powder.
Seeing this, Song Guang didn't dare to breathe for a moment. Something happened to the Ministry of War... You know, the Ministry of War has always been the wings of His Highness.
The morning court the next day.
In the main hall, all civil and military officials were silent, especially the Minister of War, whose legs were trembling.
"Where is Sun Jinghai, Minister of War?" Emperor Zhen of Yuan said coldly.
"I am here," Sun Jinghai took a step forward, and sweated coldly.
"Do you give me an explanation?"
All the ministers are familiar with the nature of Emperor Yuanzhen. Even if His Majesty wants to kill you the next second, he will still be calm when talking to you the previous second, and it has always been impossible to see what he is thinking.
Sun Jinghai couldn't tell what his Majesty was. He swallowed his saliva and said carefully: "Your Majesty, I don't know. The military uniforms I transferred were not allowed to be checked one by one, but I remember that when the random inspections were conducted, they were indeed done according to the court's standards. Maybe... Maybe it was because the money was short in the end, so there would be some small flaws in a small part of the military uniforms!"
