Datang: Picking up a little Si Zi and accidentally admitting his kinship with blood?

Chapter 136 Your Majesty, the wind is blowing!

Cheng Yaojin panicked.

No, His Majesty's mouth is simply open. Will whatever he says come out?

It had only been a few days since I and Yuchi Jingde and Qin Qiong left Chang'an for Liangzhou, and they had just come back and encountered such trouble?

Li Er and Changsun Wuji also hurriedly ran out of the Imperial Study Room. When they took a closer look, they saw flames blazing into the sky in the direction of Dali Temple not far away, and the flames tended to get worse!

"Come here, tell me what happened?!"

"Cheng Yaojin, why don't you quickly seal the city gate and wait here for the thief to surrender?"

"What kind of thief is so bold that he dares to cause trouble in the imperial city? I must kill him!"

The flashes of firelight danced, making Li Er's face extremely gloomy, and his expression seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.

Even he didn't expect that there would be a bold guy who dared to cause trouble in Chang'an. What was even more annoying was that the target was actually Dali Temple!
What kind of institution is Dali Temple equivalent to?
Its position in the Tang Dynasty is equivalent to the modern Supreme Court. If it is burned down by someone, do you think it is serious or not?

Cheng Yaojin did not dare to neglect, he apologized and ran away with his tail between his legs, and was busy sealing the city gate to catch the murderer.

Regardless of whether he can be caught or not, at least he must not be hanging around under His Majesty's nose. Wouldn't that be a source of fun?
The raging fire rose into the sky.

The majority of the houses in the Tang Dynasty were made of wooden structures, and the Dali Temple was in disrepair. Once it caught on fire, it would be particularly prosperous.

Well, it is very prosperous u?ω?u.

The people in Chang'an City were alarmed by such a big movement and ran out to watch.

"What happened?"

"on fire?"

"What a huge fire! Oh my god, is that the direction of the Imperial City? Is the Imperial City on fire?"

"No way. Could it be that an enemy has invaded?"

Various speculations kept the entire city of Chang'an restless all night. In the Tang Dynasty, when there were no fire engines and various fire-extinguishing equipment, such a fire was simply a natural disaster!
Officials from all walks of life had already woken up from their dreams. When they discovered the fire, they all got up excitedly and ran towards the imperial city.

Not long after, a group of ministers from the DPRK and China gathered in front of the burning Dali Temple.

Looking at the fire, everyone's expressions changed.

"Who dares to set fire to Dali Temple?"

Wei Zheng stood in front with an extremely ugly face, looking at the half-burnt Dali Temple, and his heart jumped anxiously: "Where are the guards? Where are the people from Dali Temple?"

Such a huge fire was definitely not caused by an accident. What's more, there were guards patrolling the city at night. How could they not detect the fire?
"Doctor Wei, it's better to find a way to control the fire. Your Majesty must have heard the news and is coming this way..."

Around Wei Zheng, the people in the Yushijian all had the same sad expressions. This Dali Temple was also their office!
In fact, there was no need for them to say anything. Someone had already come to put out the fire with soldiers and horses, throwing all kinds of sand and soil into the fire desperately.

However, this is midsummer, and the house is made of special materials, so this primitive method of putting out fires is almost useless!
Not long after, Li Er rushed over with a sullen face, and of course Changsun Wuji was with him.

"See Your Majesty!"

"See Your Majesty!"

……

When the ministers saw Li Er approaching, they saluted quickly, and then they all remained silent. Even though they had countless doubts in their hearts, they did not dare to ask.

In fact, Li Er was full of questions and asked, "Who can tell me what's going on?"

Even a fool can hear the anger in Li Er's tone. The capital of Chang'an, or the imperial city, Dali Temple was burned down in full view of the public. Where is the face?
"Who is responsible for the defense of the imperial city tonight? Where are the people?"

"You didn't even come to tell me about such a big thing. Do you have to wait for me to come and ask?" Li Er got more and more angry as he thought about it, almost like he was going to explode with anger.

"Your Majesty, today's night duty seems to be Duke Lu..."

Beside Li Er, Changsun Wuji thought for a moment, and then said in an extremely embarrassed tone.

The night shift was handled by the personnel department, so Changsun Wuji naturally knew very well that the person on the queue today seemed to be none other than Cheng Yaojin.

"What am I..."

Li Er held it in his stomach for a long time, and almost couldn't restrain the urge to sneer at others. He was already thinking about Cheng Yaojin's eighteen generations of ancestors.

Cheng Yaojin, Cheng Yaojin, you don’t know if your luck is too good or too good?
No one dared to say anything anymore. Everyone could see that His Majesty was going to kill someone today and they must not rush in front.

The Dali Temple was still burning cracklingly, but soon it collapsed in full view of the public.

The sparks were flying all over the sky, like fireworks, beautiful and colorful.

The soldiers who rushed to put out the fire were forced back by the fire and could only continue their meaningless actions with buckets of sand and buckets of water.

At this time, Fang Xuanling looked at the fire and his face changed slightly: "Your Majesty, the wind is blowing!"

Have I ever been overwhelmed by the size of the world?

Of course not, a gust of north wind blew by, and the fire in Dali Temple rose several meters high again, and then burned fiercely to the south!

On the south side is a mansion, almost a wall away from Dali Temple, and it soon followed!
The faces of the ministers changed again!

"Whose mansion is that?"

"It looks so luxurious. Even the courtyard walls are made of wood. It's really similar to the structure of Dali Temple..."

"That's the finest mahogany..."

"The courtyard wall is made of mahogany... It seems that only Master Hou's residence is like this, right?"

Several ministers standing behind watched the palace wall catch fire in an instant and whispered to each other.

Hou Junji's luxury was heard throughout Chang'an.

According to historical records, when Hou Junji's house was ransacked, Taizong found two fair-skinned and unusually beautiful women from his house.

Taizong asked why he was so good, and the answer was that Hou Junji breastfed her every day without stopping.

The extent of his luxury and greed is evident!
But at this moment, no matter how expensive the wood is, it can't stop the fire!

Li Er looked furious and almost roared: "Why are you still standing? Why don't you go put out the fire?"

"Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, you lead people to search the entire city of Chang'an. I won't be able to let go of even a single mosquito!"

"Changsun Wuji, go and show me where Cheng Yaojin is now. If we can't catch the murderer today, ask him to come and see him!"

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui quickly accepted the order and left, while Changsun Wuji also hurriedly ran to the city gate.

If this thing gets big, Cheng Yaojin will have to shed his skin even if he doesn't die!

All the officials were so frightened that they ran to find tools to put out the fire and joined the fire-fighting team.

For a time, the entire Chang'an City was bustling with activity!
