The wind is blowing

Since the Fifteenth Lantern Festival, Mei Changsu would unconsciously be in a daze in his free time.Even though he said that night that he would not think about anything other than overturning the case, Xiao Jingyan's words had an impact on him after all.

The process of going to Miaoyinfang with Yujin and Jingrui was very smooth, and Gong Yu was successfully allowed to go to Ningguohou's Mansion on April [-]th as planned to cheer for Xiao Jingrui's birthday party.

Besides, there was nothing else for Mei Changsu to worry about during the first month.

After the first lunar month, the court officially opened. Shen Zhui submitted the papers about the private cannon case that he had prepared a long time ago. The prince and his party refused to admit it. On the head of the former Household Secretary Louzhijing.

Shen Zhui had just taken office not long ago, and he didn't form a party, so of course he couldn't argue with the other party.For this reason, Mei Changsu also paid a special visit to Yu Wang's mansion, explained the pros and cons to Yu Wang, and asked him to help Shen Zhui.

King Yu and the crown prince had hated each other for a long time. Before because of one He Wenxin, he lost two ministers at the same time. At this time, he had a rare chance to fight back. Of course, he would not let it go easily, and agreed easily.

After sending Mei Changsu away, Qin Banruo offered another poisonous plan to King Yu.If you just help Shen to track down the case, it will be nothing more than a corruption case in the end. To the prince, it is just a trivial charge, so why not just make the matter bigger.

While thinking about Mei Changsu's remonstrance, King Yu also had some small calculations in his mind. Now that Qin Banruo said so, he thought it was a solution, and immediately notified his subordinate Hui Yao to handle the matter.

……

Xiao Jingyan was teaching Yichen and Tingsheng homework in the mansion when the explosion in the private cannon workshop resounded through the sky.

Others may not know what happened, but he understood it instantly after experiencing it once.He has to guard against everything, after all, he can't guard against some people's lust for profit!

"Zhanying! What's going on? Didn't I ask you to send someone to watch?"

"Your Highness, the brothers are indeed closely guarding the main roads around the private artillery workshop, but no one thought that the other party would actually shoot rockets directly from a distance. When the brothers found out, the private artillery workshop was about to explode..."

Zhan Ying, who was also startled by the movement, ran out on the spot, and as soon as there was news from below, he immediately returned to report to Xiao Jingyan.

"How about the damage to the hands, did anyone sacrifice?"

"The specific situation is still unclear, and detailed figures can only be obtained by visiting the scene."

"Go and call all the brothers in the mansion right now. I will take them to the scene. There must be a mess there now. There are not enough people in Jingzhao's mansion. You take a few people to the barracks. The materials that can be used are called out temporarily, and they are brought to the scene to be distributed to those who need them.”

After listening to Xiao Jingyan's words, Zhan Ying hurriedly agreed and went out to execute.

Xiao Jingyan went back to his room to appease the two children who were still confused about the situation. After quickly changing his clothes, he went out and got on his horse, and led his men to the streets near Private Cannon Square.

Mei Changsu got the news one step later than Xiao Jingyan. When the explosion sounded, he was talking to Li Gang, and both of them were taken aback.

When Li Gang found out the situation and came back to report to him, Mei Changsu couldn't believe it for a while, the private artillery workshop actually exploded.He never imagined that King Yu would be so cruel, wouldn't the lives of those innocent people be their lives?

"These people can't just die in vain! Li Gang, prepare the car, I'm going to have a look too."

When Li Gang drove Mei Changsu to the scene of the incident, there was a smoky atmosphere around the private cannon workshop, with corpses and broken arms and traces of fire everywhere.Not to mention that the cries and shouts were mixed together. I believe no matter who watched it, they would definitely feel uncomfortable.

"Mr. Su, why are you here?"

The first person to notice Mei Changsu's arrival was Zhan Ying. For this person whom His Royal Highness valued so much, he dared not neglect anything.

"Such a big commotion probably shocked the entire capital. Let me take a look. Where's His Highness Prince Jing?"

"His Highness is inside, checking the traces left by the private cannon workshop."

Zhan Ying told Mei Changsu where Xiao Jingyan was going, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Princess Nihuang also coming on horseback, and hurried to meet him.

"Princess Nihuang."

"General Lie doesn't need to be too polite. Nihuang brought some emergency supplies from Prince Mu's Mansion, and I asked General Lie to check and collect them. Let's distribute them as soon as possible."

"Thank you, princess."

After Zhan Ying saluted and thanked Nihuang, without delay, he directly led people towards the location of the staff of Prince Mu's Mansion.After leaving Mei Changsu and Nihuang to salute each other, they walked in while chatting.

Just when Xiao Jingyan came out of the private cannon workshop after inspecting the ruins, he became anxious when he saw Mei Changsu appearing here, and hurried forward and said:

"What are you doing here? The fire has just been extinguished, and it may start burning again at any time. If there is residual gunpowder that has not been burnt out, how dangerous it is! You go back quickly."

After talking about Mei Changsu, Xiao Jingyan didn't get enough of it, and turned to Li Gang who was following behind Mei Changsu.

"You too, don't you know how dangerous it is here? How dare he let him do what he wants without stopping him?"

"Your Highness! Li Gang is Su's subordinate, he can't stop me. Such a big thing happened here, how can I not come and see?"

Seeing that Xiao Jingyan tended to speak more and more, Mei Changsu interrupted him quickly.Fortunately, the person next to him at this time is Nihuang. If it was someone else, with Xiao Jingyan's appearance, he would definitely be suspected.

"Nihuang didn't even know that brother Jingyan and Mr. Su had such a good relationship."

Nihuang saw the scene just now, she had doubts about Mei Changsu's identity because of Nie Duo's matter, but there was no more definite evidence.Today, Xiao Jingyan's behavior undoubtedly confirmed her suspicions.

After being interrupted by Mei Changsu, and after listening to Nihuang's words, Xiao Jingyan remembered that this world's Nihuang has not yet recognized Mei Changsu's true identity, and quickly explained:

"Mr. Su helped rescue Tingsheng a few years ago. I am grateful in my heart. I also have contacts with him from time to time. It can be regarded as a friend relationship."

"So it's like this. Nihuang thought that brother Jingyan knew Mr. Su before."

She has only seen one person in her life who can make Jingyan brother show the nervous look just now.

Hearing Nihuang's tone, Mei Changsu and Xiao Jingyan looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Nihuang might not be able to hide it.

Fortunately, Nihuang is also a sensible person, knowing that this is not a good time to expose it, so she didn't go any further.

The following conversation was uneventful, as long as anyone with a brain thinks about this matter, they can guess it, and it must have something to do with King Yu.

Xiao Jingyan nodded in understanding to Mei Changsu's statement that there was no need to submit a memorial application for materials to the Ministry of War.As time passed, it was time for him to slowly appear in front of people.

The explosion of the private artillery workshop caused public outrage. Emperor Liang was furious and called the crown prince to give him a severe reprimand.In addition, Yu Wang was on the sidelines to dissuade Emperor Liang and speak well for the prince, but in secret, he compared the prince's low morality.Sure enough, Emperor Liang was even more furious, and finally punished the prince to move to Guijia Palace to contemplate his mistakes behind closed doors, during which time he was not allowed to participate in government affairs.

King Yu was quite satisfied with this punishment. Although the crown prince was not abolished, but if the crown prince could not participate in the government for a period of time, he would be able to take advantage of this period of time in the court and surpass the other party in one fell swoop.

At the same time, Shen Zhui, the Shangshu of Hubu who was also present, was very angry in his heart.The case was so serious this time, and the number of civilian casualties reached hundreds, yet the crown prince was fined and confinement was not serious.For Emperor Liang, he felt disappointed from the bottom of his heart.Feeling lost, he couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Prince Jing at the beginning of the year.

Compared to the Crown Prince and King Yu who don't take the suffering of the common people to heart, His Royal Highness Prince Jing is much better than them, but because he doesn't form a party or engage in private interests, he has been suppressed to such a state these years.Comparing the two compartments, it is clear at a glance which is stronger and weaker.How did Daliang's court hall become what it is now?
