Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 513
On the 29th day of the first lunar month, after counting the number of livestock that died in the two-wing pasture, Cao Yong wrote an account of the situation here, and Chahar Dutong and the general manager of the two-wing pasture jointly sent people to the capital.

On the same day, Cao Yong set off for Beijing with the officials and chief followers of the Taipu Temple.

The capital city at this moment is turbulent and unpredictable.

At midnight on the 28th of the first lunar month, a fire broke out in Pine Tree Alley in the south of the city.The cause was that a dozen masked gangsters broke into the houses and wanted to do something wrong.After being discovered, the group wanted to set fire to get away.

Just in time for the evening wind to blow, the fire spread and could not be contained, burning down a whole street.

Because it is midnight, when people are dreaming, people are not alert.By the time the fire was discovered, the situation was already critical.Nearly [-] people died in the fire, and more than [-] people were injured.

The flames filled the sky, causing a sensation in Sijiu City.

Although the group of gangsters set fire to it, they failed to do what they wanted. They were still caught by the guards here and sent directly to Shuntian Mansion.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, in the most benevolent place, there are such murderous and arsonous thugs, which naturally shocked the government and the public.

In the restaurants and teahouses, in the streets and alleys, officials and common people are talking about it.

Wang Yi from Shuntian Mansion complained secretly.

The so-called dozen or so gangsters were all young and strong. Although they were a little panicked when they first entered Shuntian Mansion, they quickly calmed down.

Seeing that they are all dressed in sleek clothes, and they look confident and confident, how do they look like desperadoes? ,

Few of them survived the torture and confessed their identities in a hurry.

The ten people in this group are domestic slaves of Wen County Prince's Mansion.

When asked about breaking into a private house, who is the mastermind, and why they came here, these people refuse to speak up no matter how much they are punished?
They are the coated servants of the palace, and they live and die on the side of the palace.He confessed to the Wangfu because he was afraid that the government would investigate further, and he was also afraid that he would be given up by the Wangfu.

If you say one more word, even if they can get out of the yamen, they will not be able to escape the punishment of the palace.Therefore, for the sake of life, no one is willing to say a word.

The "Huang Dakui blackmail case" a few days ago has already involved a royal residence, will this "burglary case" involve the royal residence again?
Although Wang Yi said that he had a strong character, he was also apprehensive about such a difficult case.

In the past, Tuo Heqi was the admiral of the Nine Gates, with great power, but Wang Yi did not have the slightest scruples about impeachment.

Because Tuo Heqi is a courtier just like him.

This courtier has a place to pass, how many can the emperor tolerate?Even if you don't care about it for a while, there will always be a time for liquidation.

The clan prince Baylor is different, as long as it is not a serious crime of treason, he usually cannot die.It is often a big event turned into a small matter, and finally nothing happens.

Even if they committed some serious crimes, most of them seized the title and inherited it by their sons or brothers.

Except for Prince Zhuang's mansion and several Duke's mansions, most of the imperial clans in the capital are from Taizu's lineage.Just like this Wenjun Prince's Mansion, it is from the same lineage as Prince Suwu's Prince Hauge from Tongxian Prince's Mansion,
The owner of Prince Wen's Mansion is Baylor Yanshou.When he first took over the title, he took the title of the county king. Because he participated in the battle between Jinmingzhu and Suo'etu in his early years, he was demoted to Baylor.

Wang Yi looked at such a noble slave in the palace, thinking of the dozens of people who were innocently buried in the sea of ​​fire, his face was as black as ashes at the bottom of a pot.

If no one is in charge, how dare these slaves be so presumptuous?

I have been working hard for two years, avoiding right and wrong, not getting involved in everything, and wanting to be a good parent officer, why are you timid now?
After thinking about it, Wang Yi's impetuous mood gradually calmed down.

Even if it is the prince of the clan, as long as he violates the law of the country, the sky net will still be restored, and he will not miss it.

Thinking of the "advice" given by the fourth elder brother when he visited a few days ago, Wang Yi's face showed a stern look.

There is no need for others to provoke him, since he is in his position, it is his duty to protect the safety of the people here.

In this position, every word and deed is watched.

Not to mention his original intention, he just wanted to bring the villain to justice; even if he wanted to turn a blind eye, would the emperor spare him?

Putting him in the position of the parent official of Gyeonggi, isn't it to make him the emperor's knife, to shock the place, and to pacify Gyeonggi?
If he wanted to get rid of the relationship, it would be simple, as long as these slaves of the royal family were sent to the Yamen of the Infantry, and the rest, the admiral of the Nine Sects, Long Keduo, would have to worry about it.

It's just that if he does that, what face will he have when he sees the people of Gyeonggi again?If he does that, he will be Zhang Yi and Zhao Yi, and will no longer be Wang Yi with strong bones...

Lifanyuan Street, Prince Wen's Mansion, Neitang.

Umber Yanshou held the whip in his hand, and whipped it vigorously at his son Kui Hui who was kneeling on the ground.

Kui Hui was hit hard, couldn't bear the pain, staggered, and couldn't help crying "Ouch".

Yan Shou was out of breath, but seeing his son's cowardly appearance, his heart became more and more angry, and he swung his whip again and again.

In a fit of rage, Yanshou exerted all his strength.

Kui Hui couldn't escape in time, and there was a streak of blood on his face immediately.Before he could cry out the pain, he came down with another whip and hurriedly hugged his head.

Kuihui's wife, Hou Jiashi, heard that her son had been called by her husband, worried that her son might be causing trouble again, and fearing that he would be reprimanded, so she hurried over.Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door, he heard his son's cry.

Hou Jia hurriedly opened the door and came in. Seeing his son rolling and crawling on the ground in a panic, he couldn't hold back his tears.

Seeing that her husband was still working, Hou Jia hurriedly reached out and grabbed her husband's sleeve, begging in a crying voice: "Master Baylor, calm down, even if there is something wrong with my son, let's say he is. I gave birth to three, just stand here One, if something happens to him, I don't want to live..." As he spoke, he was already crying "woo woo".

Kui Hui lived to be in his twenties, and it was the first time that Jin's father was so angry, and he couldn't be bluffed.

Hearing his mother's cry, he covered his injured half of his face, walked up to Yanshou on his knees, and said pitifully, "Ama, my son realizes his mistake, Ama, don't get angry."

Although my own son is usually careless, serving his parents can be regarded as filial piety.

The child does not teach, the father too.Even if he has some indiscretions, it's because of his pampering all along.If I could be ruthless and teach my son a lesson earlier, it wouldn't cause today's catastrophe.

Yanshou looked at his son, frowned and threw the whip to the ground, sighing heavily.

Seeing that her son's face was covered with blood, Hou Jia hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it off for him.

Thirty or so people died, even if they belonged to the clan, in order to appease the anger of the people, the Long Live Lord would not be merciful.

Coupled with Kui Hui's disorderly behavior before, if it is investigated, this son may not be able to keep him.

Thinking of this, Yanshou gradually showed despair on his face, stepped back a few steps, and sat on a chair.

But for a moment, he seemed to have aged several years.

Hou Jiashi finished wiping her son, but her husband didn't say anything, fearing that he would still be annoyed, she turned her head, wanting to persuade her.

Seeing her husband's expression, Hou Jiashi was taken aback, and said anxiously: "Master, this is... this is my son who caused a big disaster, whether he hit the elder brother of the palace, or provoked the daughter of someone... ..."

Yan Shou shook his head feebly, and said with a wry smile: "If you beat the elder brother of a royal family, it's a big deal that I will sacrifice my old face and intercede for him; if you ruin someone's daughter, just hire her as a wife. Thirty lives will be lost. Ah, the fire that caused a stir in Forty-Nine City in the middle of the night was set by this evil beast..."

When Hou Jia heard this, her face was "brushed" white, without a trace of blood, her body trembled and she couldn't speak.

Seeing his father like this, Kuihui hurriedly defended himself: "Ama, it's not my son. My son didn't tell those servants to set fire. My son just told them to go and bring Han Jiang back. My son didn't tell them to set fire..."

After hearing this, Yanshou thought it was his son who was afraid of being stubborn, and didn't think about anything else.

He knew that his son was lustful, but he didn't think it was a serious problem. It would be better if he became more stable after two years, but he didn't expect it to cause a big disaster.

He glared at his son vigorously, and said, "Steal someone, who is it? That's the shopkeeper of Dagege's shop in Seventh Brother's Mansion, who was personally picked up by Dagege this morning at the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion. Behind that stands Cao's house, standing behind him. Look at the prince and grandson, stand and fuck! Are you trying to force your father to death?"

Kui Hui was already stunned, with straight eyes, and muttered: "Why is this happening? Didn't you say that she is a niece who has become an official in the Imperial Academy, a little widow who lives in the capital? She also said that she has a wealth of ten thousand yuan, so she robbed her to be a concubine. Wealth and wealth..."

Yanshou only felt his eyes go dark, and he didn't notice what his son said at all.

Hou Jiashi forced herself to calm down, and cried: "Master, what should I do? Or I'll go to ask Da Gege, to ask Seven Fujin..."

Yan Shou waved his hand weakly, and said: "It's useless, is this already a dispute between the two families? If these people are dead, let alone this little bastard is just an idle clan without a title, even Baylor like me is useless..."

Speaking of this, he saw a ray of dawn in despair.

Shuntian Mansion detains the slaves here, and some of them are used to helping their sons.Under the severe punishment, he might say something.

If you want to completely get rid of the relationship here, it is tantamount to nonsense.

If they confessed their son, they might not be able to keep their flesh and blood.

Could it be that I am getting old and want to become extinct?Do you want to go with your old wife to see the face of your heir?
Yanshou looked at his wife and then at his son, his expression becoming more determined.He raised his head and said to his wife: "Send someone to fetch Master's python robe, Master is going to Shuntian Mansion."

Hou Jiashi listened to her husband's order, wiped away her tears, and went out to send someone away.

Yanshou walked up to his son, patted his head, sighed, and said: "You should save trouble... marry a good wife and be filial to your mother... From now on, Ama can no longer protect you ..."

Kui Hui was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with Ama? Ama is angry with her son and doesn't want to see him anymore?"

Yanshou's expression has turned serious, looking into his son's eyes, he said slowly: "You have to remember, it was you and me who made the idea of ​​Han Jiang's family, and I was the one who asked you to arrange people to go to Songshu Alley...with you , has nothing to do with it..."

At the door, Hou Jia could not stand still, holding on to the door frame, looking at her husband, babbling, but unable to cry...

Cao Mansion, Wutong Garden.

It's been a while since he came back from the yamen, but Han Jiang's face still hasn't recovered.

Even if she has been in charge of the family for many years, she is a young woman after all. She was terrified when she witnessed the killing like last night.

Seeing her like this, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said, "Before the uncle left, he already told you about your affairs, let me pay more attention to it. If I knew it was such a big mess, I should have brought you here earlier."

Han Jiangshi only felt that the "buzzing" in his head was still the movement of the fire scene last night.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses, and when she heard the second part of Chu Yu's words, she shook her head and said calmly, "Don't worry about Gege, who would have thought of this?"

Thinking of those neighbors who were weeping over the dead bodies of their relatives, she didn't know which one she should blame.

Since the shop in Daoxiang Village had an accident, Cao Yong mentioned her safety more than once.

But she thought it was an important place in the capital, and the other party would only use some shady means, and didn't take Cao Yong's words to heart.With the addition of Zheng Hu and others who wanted to go to Cao's mansion, she felt even more at ease, waiting for those jumping clowns to fall into the trap.

Who would have thought that this would be the case?
Who should hang the more than 30 lives of the neighbors in the neighborhood?

The culprit, the one who allowed all this to happen, was her, the widow who restrained her parents and mastered her husband!

More than 30 people died in this way, and even if she gave up her life, she couldn't pay back.

Han Jiangshi only felt that his throat was salty, his eyes darkened, his body softened, and he fell straight back...
