Chapter 73: Mu Feng, where is your master?

Four hours ago.

Mu Feng is still performing tasks as Wei Siyun's personal shadow guard.

When the fire broke out at Guanyue Lake, Wei Siyun was still in the General's Mansion.

In fact, unlike the rumors, he got the communication from Mu Feng almost immediately.

But as mentioned earlier, the situation was too complicated when the fire broke out.

All the people gathered near Guanyue Lake, and when the people from the patrol camp passed by, they could hardly clear a path.

The fire spread dry incense paper along with the incense, and soon the shop was lit.

The worst thing about this is not this.

Wei Siyun rushed to the front and found that the fireworks were making irregular explosions.

In such a critical situation, he had to ensure the safety of the patrol camp and the safety of the nearby people.

So an emergency evacuation order was issued.

The people who gathered around quickly evacuated, and when the fire was finally extinguished, a total of twenty-eight bodies were found.

At this time, the people sent by Wei Lin also arrived.

Wei Siyun was covered in plant ash and looked coldly at Wei Lin's personal guards.

"The Holy One also ordered that today, New Year's Eve, the Prince's patrol camp is not well protected, which is really inappropriate. Let the subordinates and others take His Highness back to hold him accountable."

At that time, Cai Bing could not hold back his anger: "The matter has not yet come to a conclusion, are you now pushing the blame on His Highness?"

"The subordinates and others are just following orders. The Holy One has transferred the case to the Inspection Commission. He has ordered that after the matter is found out, the prince will naturally be cleared."

Are you so anxious to arrest someone?

A cold light suddenly appeared in Wei Siyun's eyes.

The personal guards carried the imperial edict and were not afraid of Wei Siyun at all, so they moved forward and took action.

Cai Bing and Mu Feng were not vegetarians either, and they were about to swing out the swords in their hands.

The personal guard spoke sternly: "Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trying to resist the decree? Now, the Holy One has the final say in this court matter, right? Does His Highness's resistance mean that it is indeed inseparable from the fireworks case?"

"Nonsense!"

Cai Bing could not hide his anger.

From the time this incident occurred until now, the emperor has not summoned him at all, and has not listened to arguments. He has made it clear that he is specifically targeting it.

It was probably in retaliation for being targeted at His Highness's palace banquet.

With all the fanfare now, how could Wei Siyun not understand what Wei Lin meant?

It was just to give him a show of strength. The fox's tail couldn't be hidden anymore. It warned him that there was a difference between the king and his subjects. He could give Wei Siyun no resistance with just one order.

As for the truth of the case, Wei Lin doesn't care at all.

Wei Siyun had some calculations in his mind, and in a hurry, he came up with a crazy and bold idea.

He put his hands behind his back and said to the guard: "You can go as you wish. I have something to tell my subordinates before I leave."

The case will be transferred to the Inspectorate, which is under the direct jurisdiction of Wei Lin.

This matter was originally within the scope of authority of Dali Temple. In order to keep the matter under control, Wei Lin did not hesitate to exclude Dali Temple.

In Wei Siyun's view, although this is dangerous, it is an opportunity.

So Cai Bing and Mu Feng each got new tasks.

Cai Bing is responsible for using the prince's own connections to investigate the truth behind the fireworks case.

"Your Highness, the Holy Father's decree is obviously aimed at you. If you resist the decree, the courtiers can't accuse you of anything. Why do you have to suffer this crime?"

Wei Siyun's expression was calm: "My father wants me to be obedient and under control, but I want something else."

"Wha, what?"

Wei Siyun just took action in person, and the back of his hand was burned by the fire when he put out the fire. Now he didn't have time to deal with it, and the skin and flesh were opened, shocking.

"The world thinks that the prince is a fool and does everything based on his character. So I will use this incident to let them see who is more of a fool."

There was only the last thin layer of paper left between him and Wei Lin. If it was broken, the relationship between father and son would be empty from now on.

"This year's fireworks are the same as in previous years. They were organized by the Ministry of Rites. I have done a spot check and found no problems. The top priority now is to check the row of implicated incense shops. The explosion was so sudden that I don't believe that there are no clues.

"

Only then did Cai Bing understand what His Highness was talking about.

He has an idea in mind, and His Highness knows the direction of this matter and the response plan.

Is it because I don’t resist the Holy One because I have another purpose?!

There are some things that Wei Siyun doesn't need to say clearly. Cai Bing has been with him for many years and still understands them.

So there's no stopping it.

Mu Feng asked: "Your Highness, what do you need to do?"

"Zhiyuan is recovering from injury. He Yunchu cannot be without someone by his side. Now Cai Bing is going to investigate the fireworks issue. You should keep an eye on her side."

Mufeng took the order.

I just didn't expect that in such an urgent situation, His Highness would go out of his way to explain the matter of Miss Seven.

This shows the level of dedication.

The news that Wei Siyun was taken away spread throughout the imperial city, and it was almost the biggest anecdote on the first day of the year.

Subsequently, news came out that the prince had been seized of power and was tortured in prison to extract confessions, resulting in serious injuries.

Within two hours, almost everyone felt that the prince's party was about to be destroyed.

Who allowed the prince to openly challenge the emperor's dignity at the New Year's Eve palace banquet?

Although Meng Jiaojiao didn't make much noise just now, for some reason, there was a sudden buzz of discussion in the restaurant at this moment.

One person said: "You deserve it! Aren't you just relying on the shadow of your own mother? The Xiao family has been in decline for a long time. I'm afraid the Holy One has been impatient for a long time!"

"He Yunchu has been busy here for a long time, and I don't know why. If the emperor gets angry and arrests her, it will really be a joke!"

"On the contrary, I feel that His Majesty's move was wrong. The Crown Prince punished Ren Min, which was visible inaction. Is it possible to steal the army's food and grass?"

"Yes, and He Yunchu saved Sheng once a few days ago. Why did I hear that she almost had a miscarriage at the palace banquet last night?"

...

There were different opinions on both sides, and they did not avoid the fact that He Yunchu was present.

Where this situation will develop, no one can guess.

The matter has spread, and it seems that the news that Prince Yun was severely beaten is indeed not false.

But who wants to harm him?

Wei Lin?

Yu Huimi?

Or are there other people who are eager to get a piece of the party war?

...Rong Jin???

When He Yunchu thought of this, he felt his heartbeat stopped for a moment.

She carefully recalled whether there was anything strange about Rong Jin last night, but he was too stable.

I won't reveal any emotions that I don't want others to know.

Only when I gave her the abortion pill, her eyes were scarlet.

He is obviously angry.

Is it possible that Rong Jin wanted to turn the emperor against the prince and did something in the process?

He Yunchu slowly looked at Mu Feng with a questioning expression.

Mufeng: "?"

It feels like Miss Seven has thought of something not very good.

"Mufeng, where is your master?"

Mu Feng: "...I went to the palace early today. Mu Feng was ordered to protect the girl. I haven't seen anyone else yet."

Once asked about Rong Jin, the hairs of several insiders present stood on end.

He Yunchu glanced at Meng Jiaojiao: "Have you seen him too?"

Meng Jiaojiao: "...I see you."

She didn't lie, she really saw Rong Jin.

As for what He Yunchu suspected when he appeared, she had some idea.

"Do you think this matter has something to do with Rong Jin? Don't worry, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Rong Jin!"
