Chapter 199
But when Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Prefecture arrived with his people, what he saw was such a picture.

I saw that the handicraft workshop run by the imperial court was already crumbling under the engulfing fire, and there was a bang from time to time, and the group of carpenters had long since disappeared.

"Come and put out the fire!"

"quick!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ding Shichang knew very well that the situation was out of control.

"After all, this is the capital city, under the feet of the emperor, and no one can escape the responsibility for this incident!"

Thinking of this, Ding Shichang immediately called his subordinates and ordered in a deep voice.

"Report this matter, hurry up!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

After his subordinates left, Ding Shichang stayed at the scene and organized people to put out the fire. Gradually, the fire was gradually brought under control, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt charcoal.

"Send someone in to see if they can find any clues!"

Ding Shichang covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, his face was full of disgust, so he ordered.

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

After receiving Ding Shichang's order, there were several guards on the side who boldly entered it.

After a while, these guards came out and reported to Ding Shichang: "My lord, we found several corpses inside! Judging from their clothes, they should be officials in charge of this place."

"Take me in to have a look."

After Ding Shichang heard the news from his subordinates, he frowned even more and said in a deep voice.

"My lord, please come with me."

Immediately afterwards, under the leadership of the guards, Ding Shichang saw the corpses that had been burnt beyond recognition!Their identities can only be guessed from the unburned cloth on their bodies.

In such a tragic situation, the subordinates who followed Ding Shichang couldn't help turning their faces away. What's more, they directly bent down and began to retch uncontrollably, tears flowed out of their eyes uncontrollably.

And after Ding Shichang observed the horror of these corpses at close range, his face was also pale, and his stomach began to roll unceasingly.

Immediately afterwards, seeing Ding Shichang holding on so as not to show any abnormality, he ordered in a deep voice: "Carry out these corpses!"

"In addition, send soldiers to set up a card to intercept at the door, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must find out this group of daring rebels!"

"Yes, Lord Fu Yin!"

……

Soon, the memorial presented by Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Prefecture was handed over to the cabinet through the hands of countless people.

After all, there are a lot of things involved, including killing officials and setting fire to the capital. How is this different from conspiracy?The people who dealt with it are even more aware of the relationship. Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand over this matter to the cabinet.

In the cabinet, several people are dealing with the corresponding memorials.

I saw a small official rushing in hurriedly, raised the memorial in his hand above his head, and said loudly: "I have seen Mr. Ge, this is the memorial presented by Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion!"

"Master Shuntian, could it be that something major has happened in the capital?"

After hearing the words of the little official, everyone present thought of this.

Immediately after, Xu Jie took a step forward, took the memorial from the little official's hand, and took it apart, and the content on it made his expression change instantly.

"No, something serious happened! The carpenter rebelled!"

"what?"

Hearing Xu Jie's words, the faces of the rest of the people were full of shock.

Immediately, Yan Song came forward, took the memorial from Xu Jie, and after browsing through the content, he said the same: "It is true that something serious happened, the handicraft workshop run by the imperial court was destroyed by a group of carpenters! "

"Not only that, they also killed the officials and set a fire, burning the entire workshop!"

Yan Song paused for a moment, then added another sentence.

"What? Not only killed court officials, but also set fire to the capital!"

After hearing the news, Gao Gong on the side also frowned and said in a deep voice.

The rest of Yan Shifan and Zhang Juzheng had gloomy faces, and couldn't help but recall what they had heard before.

"Qingliu (Yan Dang) must be playing tricks behind this!"

Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at each other immediately, trying to catch a message from each other's eyes.

It's a pity that both of them are old foxes who have been around for thousands of years!Therefore, all returned without success.

After a while, Yan Song coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Such a major event has happened in the capital right now, Mr. Xu Ge and I will go to report to His Majesty! You stay in the cabinet and continue to pay attention to this matter."

"Well, you guys just stay here for the time being! If there is any news, just let the camera decide."

Xu Jie also followed up with instructions.

"Yes!"

Seeing the chief assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet speaking at the same time, the remaining three responded quickly.

"Old Yan Ge, let's just go away!"

"Well, let's go."

Then Yan Song tremblingly came out of the cabinet with Xu Jie's support.

Almost at the moment when he walked out of the cabinet, Xu Jie took the lead to ask, "Mr. Yan Ge, what do you think about this matter?"

After hearing Xu Jie's question, Yan Song stopped and turned around, saying in a deep voice, "To be honest, this matter is beyond my expectation."

"Someone dared to kill officials at the feet of the emperor, not only that, but also set a big fire, burning all the handicraft workshops run by the court!"

"This is provoking the authority of the imperial court, and it is a blatant capital crime!"

After Yan Song answered Xu Jie's question, there was a slight smile on his face, which seemed to mean something.

"Yeah, I think so too, this is a blatant capital crime!"

Xu Jie followed with a smile, and responded like this.

After this trial, both of them ruled out the other's suspicion.

There is no other reason, the risk is not directly proportional to the benefit.

"Could it be that this was really just an accident?"

With such doubts in mind, the two came outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and waited to be summoned.

……

"Your Majesty, Elder Yan Ge and Elder Xu Ge are waiting outside the hall, saying they have something important to report!"

I saw Lu Fang coming in front of Jiajing and said in a low voice.

"Oh, what do the two of them want to report to me?"

When Jiajing heard about it, he immediately put down the brush in his hand, and in front of him, there was a piece of clean white rice paper, on which were written Zheng Qing people and four big characters.

"Let the two of them in! No need to report."

Jiajing looked at the calligraphy work completed by himself in front of him, nodded, and ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will inform them now!"

After receiving Jiajing's order, Lu Fang quickly walked outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation and called Yan Song and Xu Jie in.

As soon as Yan Song and Xu Jie entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, they knelt down on the ground, their faces full of self-blame.

"Report to Your Majesty, this humble minister is guilty!"

"Oh, what is the crime of the two lovers?"

Jiajing had a panoramic view of the expressions on the faces of Yan Song and Xu Jie, then stroked the dragon head carved on the dragon chair with his hand, and asked softly.

"Just... Just now, Yin Ding Shichang of Shuntian Mansion handed over the memorial, saying that some carpenters in the capital rebelled!"

"Not only did they kill the officials in charge of the handicraft workshops, but they also set fire to the capital and burned the handicraft workshops run by the imperial court!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, these carpenters are no longer ordinary carpenters. They dare to kill officials and provoke the authority of the court. Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to punish them severely!"

Seeing Jiajing's question, Yan Song quickly responded, and Xu Jie on the side also helped.
