Chapter 133 The Dead is Unrecognizable

The news that the Tongtian Pavilion in the city was burned quickly spread. The fire woke up many people last night. Many people were wearing thin clothes and watching from the outside of the fire scene. Leakage.

"How did this fire start? Did no one inside know?" The onlookers stood outside the ruined Tongtian Pavilion, chatting in twos and threes.

"I heard that it was a murder to steal money. This morning, the officials brought out more than a dozen corpses from the ruins. The dead ones are beyond recognition."

"Ah? Really? Who is so powerful that he even dared to rob this place? It is said that three years ago, a thief took a fancy to a treasure in this pavilion, but instead of stealing it, he was dismembered and the body was thrown out of the city." Besides, since then no one has dared to think about Tongtian Pavilion."

"Maybe they are professional bandits? I heard that there is a bandit village fifty miles north of Huizhou. The people in it are vicious. They dare to do all kinds of bad things. Maybe they came down the mountain to do it."

"I know the bandit village you're talking about..."

The topic is getting wider and wider, and there are various speculations about the Tongtian Pavilion fire, but most people think it is a murder case.

The property counted by the government from the ruins also infers that it is for money. This Tongtian Pavilion can be said to be a cornucopia of beams. A pavilion may be richer than a city, but the property found by the government is only burnt residue, gold But no one was found.

I'm afraid they were all robbed by the thief, and everyone sighed secretly, and they didn't know whether they were envious of the thief's good life or lamented the heavy loss of Tongtian Pavilion.

If Yin Xu heard this, he would probably cry out that he was wronged. Although he took a lot of things, the total amount was less than one-tenth. few.

I'm afraid that either someone picked up the leak behind Yin Xu, or there were still people alive in Tongtian Pavilion at that time, and they ran away with the money.

Teng Yu stood in front of a row of charred corpses and pondered. He hadn't had time to learn about it from Yin Xu, so like everyone else, he was guessing who the thief was.

"Your Highness, what do you think about this...? This Tongtian Pavilion is powerful, if it is investigated, it will be difficult for the lower officials to explain it."

"Then catch the murderer." Teng Yu looked like "it's nothing to do with himself".

"This... can kill more than a dozen people in just one stick of incense. I'm afraid it's not easy to catch Wang Yang, a bandit with strong martial arts."

Although there are many yamen servants in the government, their martial arts are mediocre. If you really want to face martial arts masters, you have to suffer death.

However, Yu Xue knew that the Third Prince would definitely have guards with strong martial arts skills, and if he could help, the case would be easier to handle.

Teng Yu looked at the magistrate Yu with a look of anticipation, "Master Yu, you should know that His Highness was ordered to provide disaster relief! He is not here to investigate the case!"

"Yes, yes..." Yu Xuezhong wiped off his cold sweat, "The lower officials are confused." If the third prince is really involved in the Huizhou case and it spreads to the capital, I don't know how it will be arranged.

"But don't worry, as long as the place in the main hall is needed, you can speak in private, and we can do it in secret." Teng Yu had a sly smile on his face.

Yu Xuezhong was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said: "Then I will thank Your Highness first."

"You're welcome, you do it. Let's talk about the post-disaster reconstruction first. Since we're here, His Highness can't give up halfway."

The weather has warmed up in the past few days, and the snow has stopped everywhere and gradually began to melt. Although it is still cold, at least the victims have seen hope.

As soon as spring starts, the crops in the fields are planted, and the collapsed houses can be repaired, and those that cannot be repaired can be rebuilt. After two or three months, they will not worry about starving to death or freezing to death.

Yu Xuezhong brought over a thick stack of documents from the case table, which included the disaster situation in various places and the death list. In this disaster, he killed hundreds of people in Huizhou, a few were crushed to death, and most of them were forced to die. Frozen to death.

Especially the snow a few days ago accounted for half of the death toll.

Teng Yu had told him euphemistically that someone had done that to him, which aroused the indignation of this upright magistrate, and even vaguely expressed his allegiance to Teng Yu.

There are not many officials secretly supporting Teng Yu, but there are also many, but almost all of them are in the dark, and even some officials standing beside the Yun family are Teng Yu's diehard loyalists in private.

These years, he has lived in obscurity on the surface, but it is not that he has done nothing in private.

But some of the officials he recruited were bought by money, some were bewitched by beauties, and some were attracted by the rich salary he promised for high-ranking officials. The ten fingers who were really conquered by his personality charm can be counted.

"Our hall plans to distribute the disaster relief money in three days. Each person will subsidize a little relief money first, and the severely affected ones will be distributed according to the situation after being verified by the government. You send someone to classify them according to the degree of disaster. Our money must be Get serious first."

Yu Xuezhong thought about it and felt that this approach is good. Although it is difficult to find out the truth for every household in implementation, it is better than distributing the money all at once.

"Spring will begin soon, and the government must first prepare the seeds for spring planting. This year's seeds will be provided to farmers for free. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them to fish. Be patient for a few months, and you will be fine."

"Don't worry, these things have been prepared a long time ago. With this snow, this year's harvest should not be bad." Yu Zhifu had a relaxed smile on his face.

Teng Yu discussed some post-disaster resettlement issues with him. His political views are still a little immature, and some of his ideas are not practical, but Yu Xuezhong is very satisfied with him. If you have this kind of heart, why don't His Highness be able to do it in the future? A Mingjun?

Ever since, Yu Xuezhong shared his many years of experience in the discussion. To manage a state capital is not just on paper, experience is very important.

Teng Yu secretly learned a lot of great strategies for governing the country, but in terms of practice, he may not be able to compare with these officials who have worked for more than ten years.

The two chatted very happily, and even took a few bites of lunch before putting it down. When Teng Yu realized that it was too late to go home, it was dark outside.

Teng Yu secretly thought it was too bad, he just ate someone into his mouth last night, and he disappeared for a whole day today, wouldn't Yin Xu think that he was avoiding him on purpose?

Thinking of the wonderful breakfast in the morning, Teng Yu's stomach twitched, he smiled and held the prefect's hand and said, "Master Yu, I'm hungry after talking for so long, why don't we eat first?"

Go back after you're full, and if something happens, you'll have the strength to deal with it, right?

"That's a good thing, why don't you try Zhuo Jing's craftsmanship today, and let the officials invite the Seventh Young Master together?"

Teng Yu smiled even wider, and nodded in praise: "Your Excellency is still thoughtful." In someone else's house, Yin Xu should not dare to mess around, right?

Teng Yu's smile was maintained until Yin Xu's arrival, but it's a pity that the other party hasn't turned his eyes here since he entered the door.

When Yin Xu sent a brush washer of unknown material, even Yu Xuezhong couldn't care about Teng Yu's mood.

The third prince, who was sitting on the cold bench, shook his head and sighed at one side, while the Lord Mozun on the other side had already used his knowledge of thousands of years to chat with the prefect Yu.

Although Mozun is not good at literature, he knows a lot of interesting things, especially in astronomy and geography. Yu Zhifu, who is eager to learn, is taken aback for a while.

"I didn't expect Huo Qishao to be both civil and military. What's difficult is that you have just turned 14 years old, so I really don't know who your teacher is." Yu Xuezhong said with emotion.

Yin Xu's master has always been a secret that everyone is interested in, but unfortunately no one knows who this person is, not even the Huo family can find out.

But the more this happened, the more everyone believed that that person was an extraterrestrial expert.

Since he is an expert outside the world, how can he be found out at will?

In fact, this matter is untenable after further investigation, but apart from this, no one can explain the reason why Huo Qishao suddenly has both civil and military skills.

Everything that cannot be explained by common sense must have reasons for admiration or fear.

Yin Xu blushed slightly, and replied a little shyly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I swore a poisonous oath in front of my master, no matter who it is, I can't reveal his information."

Yu Xuezhong quickly waved his hand, "Seventh Young Master, don't get me wrong, I'm just purely curious. Since you promised, you should keep your promise."

Teng Yu's eyes widened from the side, staring at Yin Xu's shy expression, he didn't expect Yin Xu to be able to put on such an immature look, it's really... shocking.

Yin Xu took the time to stare back at Teng Yu, the look made Teng Yu feel cold all over, he hurriedly got up and said, "I don't know when this meal will be ready, I'm hungry."

This time it's Yu Xuezhong's turn to be embarrassed, "Is it the lower official? I lost track of the time when I was chatting so enthusiastically... Somebody, hurry up and let Madam pass the meal."

When the food was served, Teng Yu finally understood why Yu Xuezhong dared to ask him to try Mrs. Yu's cooking skills. If he hadn't tasted the cooking skills of this mansion before, he would have thought that the dishes were made by a certain chef.

Even Yin Xu ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, and ate a little more meat, "Mrs. Zun's cooking skills are excellent, Mr. Yu is very good!"

Yu Xuezhong drank two more glasses of wine, his face flushed a little, he smiled contentedly, and said modestly: "Don't dare, that's all she has."

Teng Yu couldn't understand his proud appearance, put one hand on Yin Xu's shoulder, and said loudly: "In the future, my Highness will definitely find the best wife in the world! No one can compare!"

Yin Xu shook the hands on his shoulders and snorted coldly: "Then you go find it!"

Yu Xuezhong knew about the relationship between the two, but he always thought that Yin Xu was a male favorite. Even after knowing that he was the seventh young master of the Huo family, he didn't think there was any real affection between the two.

However, with the increase of time spent together and more contacts, it is natural to see that the relationship between the two of them is not as dirty as outsiders think, on the contrary, their relationship is very good.

Not only that, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince was more like the one who was eaten to death. Usually Huo Qishao could change his color with just one look.

Yu Xuezhong originally wanted to warn them that this road is so difficult, if they fall out in the future, it will not only be a matter of two people, but may even become the fuse of the deterioration of the relationship between the royal family and the Huo family.

But right now, he really couldn't say anything to separate them.

If this is the case for masculine men all over the world, how is it different from ordinary couples?

They are not just a pair of lovers who fall in love with each other.

After eating for nearly two hours, by the time Teng Yu and Yin Xu came out from the backyard of the magistrate's yamen, it was past two o'clock at night, and the curfew had already started.

However, there are people from the Yamen personally escorting them, so the curfew naturally does not exist.

When passing by Tongtian Pavilion, Yin Xu also admired his masterpiece, saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and Yin Xu never let go of any opportunity to take revenge.

"The excellent Tongtian Pavilion was actually burned down. If I had known it would be so, it would be better for us to go ahead and pick some good things back." Teng Yu shook his head and sighed.

Yin Xu frowned, and said vaguely in front of everyone: "What do you like, I will send it to you some other day."

Teng Yu thought he was forgiving himself, and smiled happily: "As long as it is from you, I like it!"

As he said, he hugged Yin Xu's waist and wanted to kiss his cheek, but the guards and yamen servants who followed back and forth could only look up at the sky and turn a blind eye.

But Teng Yu didn't go on with this kiss, because he and Yin Xu felt that someone was peeping at the same time, and the eyes were indescribably cold and serious, with a murderous intent.

The two followed that feeling and looked over, only to see darkness and ruins exuding a burning smell.

The two looked at each other, and their expressions immediately became serious. If they guessed correctly, this person should be from the Tongtian Sect, but they don't know who it is.

Teng Yu leaned close to Yin Xu's ear and said in a low voice: "The Tongtian Pavilion was burned, and the Tongtian Sect suffered heavy losses. I'm afraid a group of people will come in the near future." As for what they came for, it was self-evident.

Until a moment ago, Teng Yu didn't know that the Tongtian Pavilion matter was related to Yin Xu, but when he saw the subtle expression on Yin Xu's face, he had a vague guess.

Yin Xu immediately understood what Teng Yu meant, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "It's just in time, I'm worried that I won't be able to find them!"

The two distanced themselves a little, looked at each other and smiled, and it was as if they really reconciled.
