Raid

Chapter 20
When Rong Zhi returned to his home, the fire had already been extinguished, he controlled it well, and burning the house was only a master bedroom.

He looked at the ruined master bedroom, and laughed in his heart, he couldn't burn the house down every time they met.

He sighed. Seeing this situation, the people behind the scenes may have already confirmed that there is someone behind him. There are only two things he can do. The first is to conceal the identity of the person behind him; the second is to try to find out who is behind him. who layout.

"Oh, Rong Yushi, you were here, but you scared our family." Before Rong Zhi could think about it, Chen Run floated out of nowhere. He looked around Rong Zhi, and saw that Rong Zhi's clothes were neat and tidy. , Everyone is fine, and he was relieved immediately.

Rong Zhi looked at Chen Run pretending to be helpless, a bit dumbfounded, "Chen Shaojian, what... what happened to this? I just went out for a while, why did the house burn down when I came back."

"Our family doesn't know either. We were preparing to enter the palace when we heard that your house was burned, so we rushed here in a hurry." Chen Run didn't know anything either.

"Fortunately, only one master bedroom was burned down. If the whole house is burned down, I won't have a place to live with my little salary."

"Oh, are you still in the mood for joking?" Chen Run was annoyed and funny, he looked at the empty house, "If your house hadn't been burned today, our family wouldn't know what kind of hard life you're living in." .There are only three servants, two servants, and two coachmen in this house. There is not a single servant girl."

"I'm poor." Rong Zhi smiled, these words were not completely false, how could a sixth-rank official buy a house in Wangjing so early, and this house was given to him by Guan Zhi, "Besides, there are no restrictions on the number of people, as long as there is enough However, if there are too many people, if some people with unclear details are mixed in, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

"Although you are the sixth grade and your official position is not high, but you are the adopted son of the lieutenant. How can you be so disrespectful? If you don't worry about it, our family will allocate twenty people to you personally, and you will be reliable. The boy will be from the servants. Pick, as for maids, we still have a lot of girls..." Chen Run chuckled, and he lowered his voice, "I promise one or two...beautiful...clean..."

Rong Zhi was vigilant in his heart, but his expression didn't show at all. He pointed to his room, and said with a bit of a smile: "What's the matter, you just look at my house, even if thousands of people serve it, it's not decent. You still have to Let’s deal with the house first.”

Chen Run looked at the ruins and nodded, "That's true. It's strange. You're not at home today, and it's early spring, and there are still a few drops of rain from time to time. How could your house be lit? I'm afraid not Someone deliberately set the fire and wanted to kill you, right? Why don't you file a case with Jing Zhaoyin?"

Rong Zhi's expression also became serious, and he nodded, "It's not impossible. It's just that if you want to kill me, why would you only burn down one of my rooms? There are many doubts about this matter, and I'm afraid we can't act rashly."

"That's true." Chen Run nodded, staggered slightly, and then said: "But I'm afraid it's not safe for you to live here, why don't you live in another place for the time being, and wait until the fire is found out. It’s not too late to move back. Or simply change to another house, that’s also safe.”

"This... I don't have the money to change houses. Besides, even if I have money, it will take a while to choose a house and buy a house. I still have a small house in Pingkangfang, which I lived in when I was studying. It is simple but hidden. , Few people know about it, so I just live there. As for the house here, please ask the young supervisor to help me find someone to overhaul it."

"Pingkangfang?" Chen Run raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and showed a meaningful smile, "Seeing that you are pure-hearted and ascetic on weekdays, I can't believe that you have a house in Pingkangfang. What's the matter? Pingkangfang also has confidante?"

Rong Zhi was a little dumbfounded, but he didn't intend to explain.Having said so much, Chen Run didn't intend to stop Rong Zhi, but just nodded, "You know what's in your mind..."

He paused, and then warned: "The place is chaotic, there are everyone and everything, Rong Yushi should be more careful, if you find something, don't act rashly, you still have to come back and talk to our family or others first." The Lieutenant said it would be fine."

There was a flash of secrecy in Rong Zhi's eyes, and he smiled, "Thank you, Shao Jian, for reminding me, I have a sense of proportion, so don't worry, Shao Jian."

Chen Run nodded.

Rong Zhi is the adopted son of an eunuch, he has always been despised by scholars, when his house caught fire, many people secretly laughed in their hearts, saying it was a punishment from God.

When Kang Wang heard the news, he just laughed it off. He looked at his wife who was helping him to dress in front of him, and seeing her sad face, he couldn't help asking, "How is Shaohua?"

Concubine Kang's face became more mournful when she heard the words, "The imperial doctor said, I'm afraid my legs won't work, my good boy, I'm afraid I'll be useless in this life."

King Kang actually didn't like Su Shaohua, a playboy, but he couldn't stand the concubine's favor. The concubine even thought about marrying a daughter. Now that he heard that Su Shaohua had a broken leg, King Kang was actually relieved.

He has a high vision, and ordinary makeup is difficult to see, so there are few domestic pets and few children. Facing the only princess, he still values ​​it very much.Moreover, apart from being a little impulsive about Su Shaohua's matter, the princess rarely makes mistakes on weekdays.

Seeing that Concubine Kang was so sad, he couldn't help but say something more, "The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to recover. The concubine still needs to gather her thoughts. If you collapse, I am afraid that no one will be able to plan for Shaohua. And now the two parties in the country The rivalry is serious, and the new emperor does not know his character, so we still have to be careful. Don’t be careless, and it’s just a disaster for yourself. If you involve your children, what should you do?"

Concubine Kang couldn't help being moved when she saw King Kang's gentle words, and she was even more ashamed when she recalled being used by eunuchs because of Su Shaohua's affairs a few days ago, so she nodded, "Forget it, concubine."

Kang Wang patted Concubine Kang's hand and sent Concubine Kang to the door of the room. Just as Kang Wang was about to leave, Concubine Kang asked suspiciously: "I remember that the prince is taking a rest today, why do you have to go out?"

Kang Wang's face froze, but Concubine Kang was lowering her head to help him straighten the jade tassels around his waist, so she didn't notice anything strange about Kang Wang.

He quickly regained his composure, resisted the guilt in his heart, and said: "The current situation in the court is not optimistic, even King Xiumu is not at ease, so he invited a few courtiers to go outside to discuss the matter."

Concubine Kang didn't notice anything, she just told her: "Then be careful, the prince, remember to come back earlier."

Kang Wang nodded.
