Zhao Xiaole sneered and pinched Liu Qingtian's neck, "Your father is dead, do you want to be with him?"
Once Liu Qingtian was held by him, he couldn't struggle no matter how hard he tried. He even whimpered and couldn't speak.
Hongni, who had originally planned to step forward to help, took a step back when he saw this.
The guests in the courtyard were anxious. Who didn't know that the current Zhen Guohou was so powerful that he could decide life and death at his own discretion?
When the prime minister was not dead, he would not dare to rush into him like this!
The guests and the steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion hurriedly came up to plead for mercy, "Please show mercy to Lord Zhen Guohou!"
Even though Zhao Xiaole's behavior is wrong, you are not as powerful as others, so you still have to bow your head when you should.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiaole snorted coldly and threw Liu Qingtian on his hand to the ground, "Since your father is dead, keep a low profile in the future. If you bump into my hands that day, I will definitely not spare you!"
After Zhao Xiaole finished speaking, he ignored the angry Liu Qingtian on the ground and left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Since the prime minister is indeed dead, there is no point in staying here anymore. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the bombing of the library.
Hong Ni followed Zhao Xiaole all the way, and no one in the prime minister's house dared to stop him.
After leaving the mansion, Zhao Xiaole looked back at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart.
When he first crossed over, he was just a little eunuch. He came to the prime minister's door and ran away, and he didn't dare to confront the prime minister head-on.
Looking at it now, it is no different from an ordinary house.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaole seriously doubted whether the Prime Minister was really dead. You must know that the Yi Jin Jing and other treasures he studied were all sent from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
How could a mansion with such hidden dragons and crouching tigers be destroyed so easily?
Zhao Xiaole didn’t believe it either.
But the prime minister is actually dead!
He saw it with his own eyes.
Zhao Xiaole stopped thinking about it, and he and Hong Ni boarded the carriage one after another, heading all the way to the Libu Library.
Along the way, Zhao Xiaole frowned and remained silent.
Always thinking about something.
Hongni didn't dare to disturb her.
The carriage drove through the flat stone street, and did not stop until the ground began to become bumpy.
"Master Hou, we can't get through the front."
The coachman's voice came from outside.
Hongni helped Zhao Xiaole open the curtain and looked out, only to see that the area around the official library was already in a state of scorching heat.
Explosives exploded inside the library, causing a fire that also ignited surrounding houses.
Fortunately, the explosives were powerful enough to alert everyone nearby, so the fire did not completely spread.
The bad thing is that the explosives were powerful enough and the fire started very quickly. Even if many people came to put out the fire, a large number of houses were still burned down.
There was still some distance from the place where the explosion occurred, but the collapsed houses and charred wood had already made it impossible for carriages to pass.
Zhao Xiaole and Hongni got off the car and walked.
Many people from the Ministry of War stood around and blocked the scene. People from the Ministry of Works were urgently transferred to clean up the burned wood.
After Hong Ni showed his token, the soldiers immediately let him go.
Zhao Xiaole and Hongni arrived at the location of the library. Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice and Qin Sining had already arrived here.
"Xiao Le!"
"Master Hou!"
After the two saw Zhao Xiaole, they immediately talked and finally looked relieved.
I don’t know since when, Zhao Xiaole seems to have become an omnipotent person. As long as he comes to the scene, he can say anything, anything can happen, and most importantly, he can solve any problem!
However, Zhao Xiaole cannot solve all problems.
In the past, when the prime minister was here, he could have no scruples because he could dump the blame on the prime minister if something went wrong.
Now that the prime minister is dead, no matter what happens, he will have to bear the blame.
"Did you find anything?"
Zhao Xiaole asked.
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Punishment took the lead and said: "Master Marquis, please follow me!"
Under the leadership of the Minister of Justice, Zhao Xiaole and Qin Sining came to the center of the explosion.
These places have been cleared by officials from the Ministry of Punishment, leaving a path open for people to pass.
"Master Marquis, this is where the answer sheets are stored." After the Minister of Punishment finished speaking, he glanced at Qin Sining.
Obviously, Qin Sining had already informed him.
"This is where the guards patrol." Then, the Minister of Punishment pointed to another area and said.
The answer sheet was inconsistent with the place where the guards patrolled, indicating that the prince had already changed the answer sheet, which Zhao Xiaole had known for a long time.
"In other words, the answer sheet is hidden under the library, and the place where the explosive was ignited is also down there. I don't know whether it was a coincidence or intentional." The Minister of Punishment frowned when he said this.
Zhao Xiaole sighed, "The other party is just a coincidence."
Having said this, Qin Sining and the Minister of Punishment looked at him at the same time.
Zhao Xiaole checked the corpses at the scene again and roughly simulated the situation at that time, "The other party had an internal agent in the official department, and took advantage of the guards' patrol to bring the explosives in. The other party sent the explosives to the bottom of the library at the beginning without knowing the case files.
There too."
"If you know it, you only need to destroy the answer sheet. In other words, the other party's purpose was to create this chaos from the beginning!"
Qin Sining heard this and said angrily:
"The third prince actually did such an outrageous thing for his own selfish gain. At this moment, the people nearby don't know how many casualties they have suffered? The Ministry of Household Affairs has not finished counting them yet!"
"Creating this chaos, I don't know what good it will do to them?"
Hearing this, the Minister of Punishment also frowned.
The other party went too far.
If it were just for the answer sheets, there would be no need for so much explosives, which would be enough to destroy the official library.
Now, with so many casualties and so much noise caused, what does the other party want?
Zhao Xiaole had already vaguely guessed something about it.
If this mess benefits anyone, it's only one person.
This person is Prime Minister Liu Bern.
Others may not know the reason, but Zhao Xiaole knows the relationship best. He and the prince want to kill the prime minister.
The queen also killed him, and now the third prince is in a critical situation.
With Liu Bern's cunningness, he should have planned a way out for himself long ago. This time the prince's persecution was the straw that broke the camel's back.
Liu Bern was anxious, he had to get away.
But others died.
Zhao Xiaole didn't believe that he would die at all, because if Liu Bern faked his death, the result would be too perfect for him.
Don't take the blame and retreat successfully.
Even if Zhao Xiaole stood in his position, he couldn't think of a better way. Therefore, he suspected that Liu Bern was faking his death.
After personally checking it out, all of Zhao Xiaole's doubts were dispelled, Liu Boern was indeed dead.
