I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 265 Father Zhong, Are the Huns Calling? (plus more)
Hundreds of people were busy for a long time, and when it was almost Mao hour, the pavilion soldiers put out the last bit of open fire.

But at this time, Qi Li's area was like a pus-soothing scar, which was shocking.

Zhi Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin came to investigate the scene and found that the deceased was the military commander of the General's Mansion. Of course they refused to neglect, and immediately reported to the General's Mansion.

However, what surprised them was that the general didn't seem surprised—could someone have reported this to him in advance?

Huo Guang listened carefully to the statements of the two, without saying a word from beginning to end.

"At the Son of Heaven's feet, you must not ignore the occurrence of such evil things. You must close the case as soon as possible, so as not to disturb Sheng Jia."

"promise."

After Huo Guang sent the two away, he tidied up his clothes and took a carriage to Weiyang Palace.

This is a big matter, and I still have to report it to the emperor.

……

In fact, Liu He already knew about it when Zhi Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin walked into the General's Mansion.

The fire last night was really too big, and the smoke was blown to the sky above Weiyang Palace under the blessing of the north wind. Liu He was awakened in a dream.

Liu He is very sensitive to fire, he knows that fire has always been a cloak for conspiracy.

So after waking up from the dream, he never fell asleep again.

When Liu He learned that Qili was on fire, he wanted to go to Beique many times to take a look, but was stopped by the old man Gong Sui desperately.

"What happened in the city is still unclear. There are only ten people in Changyilang now. It is not appropriate for His Majesty to put himself in danger. It is better to stay in Weiyang Palace."

"If Your Majesty insists on going, then I will first remove this old man from his position as a general in Changyi, and then drive this old man out of the palace. At that time, His Majesty can go wherever he wants, and this old man will never stop me. "

Under Gong Sui's obstruction, Liu He had no choice but to give up, fidgeting and waiting in the Xuanshi Hall.

Liu He didn't wait too long. Just after Mao, the sweaty Dai Zong ran into the Xuanshi Hall to report to Liu He with the latest news.

"The Army Sima King of the Great General's Mansion died, his whole family was killed, and the house was set on fire. Within two or three hours, it was burnt to nothingness."

"Is this true?" Liu He asked in disbelief.

"Weichen arrived at Qili very early, where he met Jinwu and Jing Zhaoyin who were in charge of dispatching, and inquired with them about the news."

"Later, Wei Chen released several Changyi orphans, and they also heard some gossip. When the two were put together, they were basically correct."

Those orphans in Changyi were between ten and thirteen years old, and they were trained to be very alert by Dai Zong. Although they were vulnerable in a frontal fight, they were indeed good at inquiring about news.

After coming to Chang'an for a month, because these orphans are "rich and generous", each of them has become the king of children in Chang'an city.

No disturbance in the city could escape their eyes and ears.

There are about 50 or 900 Changyi orphans who came to Chang'an. At this moment, including the local children who are surrounded by them, they have gathered [-] people.

Dai Zong used the method that Liu He had taught him before, and arranged them in different layers, surrounded by groups, and managed them in an orderly manner.

With them, Liu He slept better again.

Although Dai Zong brought some news, the news was still very fragmented and vague.

"Did Jing Zhaoyin and Zhi Jinwu catch the murderer or any suspicious person?"

"I haven't caught it, but it is said that it was done by rangers looking for revenge. They left writings on the wall that had not been burned down, saying that they came to seek revenge for their deceased."

Hearing this, Liu He sneered. If he had been in Changyi Kingdom before, he might still be deceived because of his ignorance.

But ever since he met Guo Kai, he knew that this must be framed.

Even if a ranger wanted to avenge an old friend, he would not choose to do it in the middle of the night and leave behind words, it would be too dark.

Killing Wang Xian directly at the gate of the General's Mansion, or killing Wang Xian directly in front of Huo Guang, is the way you want to be happy and enmity in the eyes of a ranger.

What's more, Guo Kai is not in Chang'an City, so it is impossible for anyone else to do this earth-shattering thing.

Since it is fake, some people want to cover it up, and there must be tricks in it.

It's just that Liu He still doesn't know who did this trick and what the purpose is.

Aim at yourself, or at Huo Guang, or at the army that is advancing one after another.

When Liu He fell into deep thought, Fan Ke came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the general is coming soon."

"Him?" Liu He seldom saw Huo Guang during this time, and he was happy to be at leisure.

Huo Guang's visit at this moment is probably not for other things, but for the matter of Wang Xian.

Liu He really wanted to hear what new news Huo Guang could bring.

"You go to the back hall to hide for a while, and come with me to listen to what Huo Guang said."

"promise!"

Just as Dai Zong hid in the back hall, Huo Guang walked into the main hall.

Just like in the past, with a sword hanging from his waist and shoes on his feet, he walks neither fast nor slow, but is very powerful.

Liu He, who had a calm face just now, immediately changed into a terrified expression. Before Huo Guang could speak, Liu He asked anxiously.

"Father Zhong, what happened in this Qili? How could there be such a big fire? Was it the Huns' secret work to make trouble?" Liu He asked with a look of horror.

"Your Majesty was shocked. The Huns never dared to come to Chang'an. It was a few rangers who committed a big case. They killed the whole family of the army Sima Wangxian in the old man's mansion, and set fire to it..."

Then, Huo Guang said the matter bit by bit.

Liu He listened very carefully, and the details were not too different from what Dai Zong said just now.

Judging from all the signs, it seems that the case was committed by Ranger, but Liu He still doesn't believe it.

"What has this Wang Xian done to make you hate him?"

"When he was young, he worked as a prison magistrate in Zuo Fengyi, and he may have had a feud with You Xia at that time."

Huo Guang spoke lightly, as if he didn't care about Wang Xian's death.

Liu He's suspicion became more and more serious, but he couldn't ask any questions, so he could only keep repeating his panic. Naturally, what he got in return was Huo Guang's hypocritical apology and a little sincere comfort.

Half an hour later, Huo Guang left on the pretext of being busy with military affairs, and Liu He immediately called Dai Zong out.

"Can you see any doubts?"

"The general seems to be very calm, without the slightest anger."

That's right, Huo Guang is a man who is always jealous. It's so strange that the trusted army Sima died, but he was indifferent.

"I'm waiting here to think about it, but I can't think of a reason. I need to continue to investigate and investigate to the end."

"promise!"

"In addition, no matter what the cause of this matter is, I decided to take advantage of the situation, and I have two things for you to do."

"The humble minister is waiting for the order."
