I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 110 Chaos is a ladder (seeking tickets)
One day later, at the third quarter of the Zichu, two furtive figures appeared in the Changyi mansion.

The two of them sneaked all the way to the empty front yard.

They checked house by house, and when they were sure that the entire front yard was indeed empty, they huddled together in a corner of the porch.

First, there was a pungent smell of grease, and then with the sound of "click", a little fire burst out.

That night, an inexplicable fire broke out in Changyi Mansion.

The light of the flames lit up half of Shangguanli, and the smoke shot straight into the sky.

"It's water, it's water!"

There was chaos in the Changyi mansion. After the servants in the backyard were woken up, they screamed and hurriedly drew water from the well to put out the fire.

Under the protection of Yu Wuyou and others, Liu He, disheveled, moved from the middle courtyard to the backyard, taking refuge temporarily.

"Your Highness is frightened, this lower official deserves to die!" An Le bowed in front of Liu He in the dark, and the panic on her face was not fake.

"The widow is fine. Is there any servant in the mansion injured?"

"The front yard hasn't been tidied up yet, it's full of sundries, no one is living here, no one is injured, the subordinate officials have already checked."

"Okay, okay, that's good, An Qing, the fire is burning strangely, I'm afraid someone wants to let the widow be buried in the flames."

After Liu He finished speaking, he pretended to faint, and immediately fell backwards. Yu Wuyou and others, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly supported him from behind.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!"

During this burst of shouting, the entire backyard became even more chaotic.

"Quick, help His Highness to rest indoors."

"only!"

At Gong Sui's order, Wang Ji and Yu Wuyou immediately brought Liu He to the main room in the backyard.

An Le also wanted to follow in, but Gong Sui blocked him before he could go in.

"Mr. An, I am here to take care of His Highness. Mr. An has to go to the front yard to preside over the fire fighting. We must not let the fire spread to the back yard."

"But Your Highness..." An Le still wanted to refute, struggling to put out the fire in the front yard, how could there be any attendants to get close to His Highness.

But Zhu Rong was ruthless. At this time, the fire did not appear to be under control, but had already spread to the middle courtyard.

If the fire is not controlled anymore, then His Highness is likely to sleep on the street.

At that time, it will be unsightly.

"Mr. An, I'm afraid Zhijinwu and Jingzhaoyin will be disturbed tonight. You are the highest-ranking official in Changyi. Being assassinated twice in a row, how could His Highness dare to enter the palace?"

Gong Sui was used to troubles, and his acting skills were no worse than Liu He's, and An Le was convinced by a few words.

He came back to his senses, this is also a good opportunity to show his courage.

Maybe, you can meet with many officials in the DPRK a few times, which will be of great benefit to your future career.

"Gong Qing is right, then His Highness will be taken care of by you."

"It's natural, it's a matter of duty."

An Le waved his hands, took Zhang Wuji, Jian Kou and others and ran towards the middle courtyard filled with thick smoke.

Gong Sui smiled imperceptibly, turned his head and entered the main room behind him.

At this time, only Liu He, Gong Sui, Wang Ji and Yu Wuyou were left in the room.

"Wang Qing Yuqing, the widow watched from a distance just now, and this fire was set just right."

"Your Highness has taught you well." Yu Wuyou and Wang Ji said calmly.

At this time, the firelight shined on Liu He's face through the pane, shining a strange light.

This was Liu He's first time to engage in conspiracy and trickery. Although it was very small and not very clever, it was a proactive attack after all.

In this monolithic court, Liu He didn't have much room to move around, so he could only see stitches.

"Wang Qing, from now on, you will guard the gate here. Without your permission, no one can come in or out."

"only!"

Along the way, Liu He has not had much communication with Wang Ji, but he appreciates the immovable temperament of this Confucian scholar.

"Gong Qing, it's up to you to deal with all the visitors. No matter who comes to visit, you have to say that the widow was overly frightened, which caused a hidden illness a few years ago. I have a splitting headache, talk nonsense, can't walk, let alone see guests."

"only!"

"Yu Qing, you are always on your side, waiting for orders at any time."

"only!"

A quarter of an hour after the fire started, the pavilion chief of the street pavilion where the Changyi mansion was located brought dozens of pavilion soldiers to fight the fire.

When they saw that the Changyi mansion was on fire, they immediately panicked. While fighting the fire, they asked for help from the surrounding street pavilions.

Two quarters of an hour after the fire started, Jing Zhaoyin rushed over from the government office half a mile away from Changyi's mansion. Because he came in a hurry, he didn't even wear a robe, and he was disheveled like a madman.

Three quarters of an hour after the fire started, Zhi Jinwu came from the north with a team of soldiers.After he came to the gate of Changyi Mansion, he took the lead and rushed into the sea of ​​flames without a word, regardless of the thick smoke billowing out.

……

Everyone present knew that Changyi Mansion was now Chang'an's weakness.

If something really happened, no matter whether it was the chief of the pavilion or the pawn, or Zhi Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin, it would all be the same.

……

Fortunately, with the concerted efforts of hundreds of people, this strange fire was finally extinguished.

But the entire front yard of Changyi Mansion was in ruins, and half of the middle courtyard was burned down.

Countless property was lost, but luckily no one was hurt.

Zhi Jinwu Han Zeng inspected the scene himself, and found nothing strange except that the fire was suspected to be caused by grease—Liu He, who was used to seeing all kinds of strange cases in later generations, wanted to cover up some traces. It couldn't be easier.

Coupled with the fact that An Le, who was kept in the dark, was exaggerating from the sidelines, the Changyi Palace was set on fire, and it became an ironclad fact.

Han Zeng didn't dare to be negligent, and after letting the pavilion guards firmly guard the Changyi mansion, he hurried to the general's mansion.

At two quarters before Zizheng, almost an hour after the fire started, Han Zeng saw Huo Guang in the General's Mansion.

The latter had obviously just woken up from his sleep, his face was full of fatigue, and he seemed to be different from the usual majestic general.

Han Zeng immediately told everything he saw.

"Is the king of Changyi safe?" As soon as Han Zeng finished speaking, Huo Guang asked impatiently, with a trace of anxiety on his face.

"His Highness was not injured, but according to An Le, Minister of Changyi, His Highness was overly frightened, suffered from headaches, babbling nonsense, and is still unable to get out of bed."

First he was assassinated in Changyi Palace, and then he was set on fire in Changyi Mansion.

The king of Changyi was young and already had hidden illnesses, so it seemed normal to be overly frightened.

"What strange places can be found?"

"Someone poured a lot of kerosene, so the fire burned very vigorously. Fortunately, the people in the mansion discovered it early, and it just rained yesterday, so the fire spread from the front yard to the middle yard later, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. .”

It seems that those who fought in Changyi Kingdom were in a hurry, otherwise they would not have chosen to do it in this inappropriate weather.

After all, at noon tomorrow, the King of Changyi will enter the palace to accept the canonization. At that time, the King of Changyi will move to the heavily guarded Weiyang Palace, and it will be very difficult to do anything at that time.

The more anxious the other party is, the faster he is.

Army Sima Wang Xian hasn't found anything useful yet, but Huo Guang plans to keep things as usual.

The reason is simple, the more the enemy blocks something, the more Huo Guang will do.

Tomorrow, the king of Changyi will accept the canonization as the prince in front of Daxing Tianzi, and there will be no delay.

Before Huo Guang came to the case, he drafted a warrant on plain silk, stamped it with his general seal, and handed it to Han Zeng.

"Bringing my warrant, 300 people from the center base lieutenant and the infantry lieutenant each will be dispatched into the city to guard the Changyi mansion and guard the Changyi king."

"Wei!" Han Zeng took the order and left.

Lieutenants of middle base and infantry belonged to the Northern Army, while Habayashiro and Kimonro belonged to the Southern Army, but they were not affiliated.

Transferring him to the Changyi Mansion and Weiyang Palace can be a constraint on the Southern Army. In this way, the King of Changyi should feel more at ease.

Anyone would be terrified of being assassinated twice in a row.

Huo Guang would never allow his chosen emperor to be in danger.
