Chapter 384 Arson
"Your Majesty, here comes the wine."

A few imperial guards hurriedly brought some jars of wine from the restaurant on the street.

The emperor carried a jar of wine, and walked to the gate of King Jing's Mansion in a somewhat disorganized pace, spilled the wine in his hand in two or three strokes, and poured all the wine on the wooden door.

With a bang, the wine jar in the emperor's hand fell down, and he ruthlessly smashed the empty jar to the ground.

"These are not enough, I will burn everything here!"

The emperor had already spoken, and all the imperial guards around looked at each other in blank dismay, so they had no choice but to leave to find wine.

About half an hour later, all the people came back, each with two jars of wine in their hands.

These [-] Royal Forest Army emptied all the wine cellars in the capital.

"What are you still doing standing here, do it!"

Under the roar of the emperor, everyone poured the wine in their hands into every corner outside Jingwang Mansion, never letting go of a single place.

"burn!"

With the emperor's order, all the people raised their torches to burn the Jingwang Mansion to ashes.

"Your Majesty, wait!"

There was a hurried sound in the distance, and the rattling of horseshoes seemed particularly flustered.

"Wang Yushi...why, this news has actually reached your ears?"

"Old minister, see the emperor."

After all, Wang Yushi was getting old, and came here on horseback, but at this moment he was gasping for breath, and it was very difficult to get off the horse.

After finally getting off the horse, Wang Yushi hurriedly saluted the emperor.

"The old minister heard from the people in front of the gate that today the emperor surrounded King Jing's mansion and vowed to kill King Jing! Although I don't know if it's true or not, the old minister wants to come and take a look."

"I just didn't expect this to be true! Now the emperor not only wants to force King Jing to death, but also set fire to Prince Jing's mansion. The old minister dares to ask the emperor, what are you doing for!"

Wang Yushi looked heartbroken, as if he was pleading for himself.

"Prince Jing committing rebellion should be punished with death. Concubine Jing deceived the emperor, slandered the queen's innocence, and caused her to die in vain. This crime is even more unforgivable! Tell me, how can I tolerate this Prince Jing's mansion?"

Even though the emperor's face turned cold, he snorted coldly, walked up the mountain quickly, and set fire to the gate of the palace first.

"Your Majesty, no, Your Majesty! There must be some misunderstanding in this. Look at the people in this city, which one has never understood King Jing's character? You are King Jing's brother, how could you kill him so recklessly! "

Looking at the gate that was on fire, Wang Yushi just took off his outer robe in desperation, and tried his best to put out the flames.

"Wang Yushi, how dare you rebel and make trouble!"

The emperor was furious, and pulled off the robe in his hand, and Wang Yushi was thrown to the ground because of his action, his old bones were about to fall apart.

"It seems that you also want to go with that sycophant of King Jing... Well, I will fulfill you today!"

As he spoke, the emperor snatched the wine from the guards beside him, and poured it on Wang Yushi.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Wang Yushi looked at him in disbelief, the emperor was about to lose his mind now, his eyes were full of evil spirits, and it was hopeless.

However, Concubine Jing is kind to the Wang family, even if he confesses his old bones here today, he can't just watch Prince Jing's mansion burn to ashes.

"Your Majesty, look what this is..."

Suddenly, all the astonishment on Wang Yushi's face disappeared, replaced by proud loneliness.

With trembling hands, he took out from his bosom the gold medal for avoiding death bestowed by the late emperor.

"This is the gold medal for exempting from death bestowed by the late emperor. Seeing the gold medal is like meeting the late emperor!"

"Father..."

The emperor was dazed for a moment.

However, he reacted quickly.

"Hahaha, Wang Yushi, I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously and carried out the dead father? What are you guys still doing, why don't you help Wang Yushi up?"

"Wang Yushi, your royal family has been an official for generations and has made great contributions to the court. No matter what, I will give you some favors. I won't call you... to lie dead on the street!"

The emperor's cold tone didn't seem to make Wang Yushi feel any fear.

"If it is said that the one who has made great contributions to the imperial court is not me, but someone else!"

Wang Yushi flicked away the person who came up to help him, and stood up tremblingly, with a calm expression on his face, without any hint of embarrassment.

"King Jing has been the gold and iron horse of Shanxue Kingdom for more than ten years. He has both credit and hard work. According to the emperor's words, the old minister should not die today, and King Jing should not die today either!"

Wang Yushi's words were loud and loud, and he directly expressed all the thoughts in the hearts of the people.

"My lord Wang Yushi is right. King Jing has made great contributions to Shanxue Kingdom, and Princess Jing is also a plain-faced doctor who is loved by everyone. We don't believe that such two people will be as miserable as the emperor said!"

"Yes, King Jing and Concubine Jing are both good people. If the emperor wants to burn down Prince Jing's mansion today, he should burn us down first!"

There was a bold man who walked to the gate of Prince Jing's mansion regardless of life and death. With such a leader, the rest of the people also followed him automatically.

Seeing that more and more people gathered, gradually forming a human wall, the emperor was half dead with anger, but he couldn't burn all these people to death here.

"You...you troublemakers! Come on, pull them away!"

After receiving the order, the Royal Forest Army stepped forward one after another and pulled away the common people who were blocking the door one by one.

"Sister, why are you here?"

Suddenly, one of the imperial guards discovered that his sister was among them.

"You bastard, how dare you burn Prince Jing's mansion down! You know that when the mother at home was in danger, it was thanks to Princess Jing's skillful hand that she saved her life! As for you, you can repay your kindness without saying thank you, but now it's down to you!" And burn down the benefactor's house!"

"me……"

After being reprimanded by his sister, he was in a dilemma and showed embarrassment.

On the one hand, it is the savior of the family, and on the other hand, the emperor's order is hard to break, it is really difficult for people to make a choice.

Most of the other imperial guards had the same idea as him.

Everyone is an upright and upright martial arts practitioner, and they all admire from the bottom of their hearts a hero like King Jing.If it wasn't for the emperor's order, who would want to slander King Jing?
Immediately, everyone stopped their hands and stood there at a loss.

Seeing such a scene, the emperor was so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, and the violent aura in his body made people shudder.

"Your Majesty, it seems that someone is coming from the front."

A royal guard with keen ears heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance.
