What happened in the paddock became serious. In the evening, the women of the clan and the imperial orders all appeared on the outskirts of the paddock. Shi Guangzhu felt a headache looking at the crowd of women.He could neither send someone to directly throw people out, nor could someone actually lock them up, not to mention looking at the servant's face, he knew that his wife and his sister-in-law were among them.

However, there is no need to send back the news. Shi Guangzhu looked desperately at the mountain fire behind which had turned red half the sky, and shouted heartbreakingly: "Stone!" His son was also inside, and Shi Guangzhu beat his chest and stamped his feet. Why did he hand over his son to others to take care of himself?

The fire was so big that anyone with eyes could see it. Daiyu stood still, and then said loudly: "Shi Menggui, we don't have to go in. You let these house slaves go in and help find someone, so why are you just standing here in a daze!" While speaking, she was holding Tanchun's hand. The two leaned together and depended on each other. Yingchun passed away as soon as she heard the news, while Princess Xianyang and Liang You were heading to the emperor's palace, wanting to see if there was someone there. There is no news.

In a hurry, Shi Guangzhu left and dispatched the imperial guards and slaves of various families into the fire scene to fight the fire, and sent out the stranded people encountered on the road.Shi Guangzhu persuaded Daiyu and Tanchun to go away. They sat in the same car and said they were going home to wait for news. In fact, they were also going to the emperor's residence.I want to see if there is any news.

On the way, they met the housekeeper of the Xianyang family and invited them to Princess Changle's villa... Daiyu and Tanchun looked at each other and ordered the groom to follow him to the villa.She never expected that all the children are here, besides the children of their family, there are also four princes.The eldest son of the emperor, Situ Xun, was talking about something, when he saw Daiyu coming, he hurried over.

"Mr. Lin, it's okay, Xiao Fei is fine, he's fine." Situ Xun was talking, and Jia Fei rushed into his mother's arms like lightning: "Mother! Third aunt, Shi Lei is fine, don't worry .”

Daiyu was relieved at this moment, and smiled at Situ Xun: "Thank you, King Liang, I saw the fire just now, and thought you... are not brothers, where are your brothers from the Guo family?"

"Guo Yang is fine, Liang Zhao and Sun Gui are also here, we are all fine. Brother Amu, no, it was His Royal Highness Liang Wang who found something wrong and brought us out to His Majesty, and then the two princes were also arrested. delivered."

It has to be said that Situ Xun was alert and decisive. If he had hesitated about where the second and fourth sons of the emperor were, I am afraid that these children would all suffer misfortune.At that time, he made a decisive decision to send the courtiers' children away first, which was simply too shrewd.It would be even more terrifying if it was subconscious. Isn't this child born to make decisions.

Tanchun looked at the small back of Liang Wang, and said with a low laugh: "It's really amazing." The emperor has no shortage of sons, even if the second and fourth sons of the emperor die, it's just a matter of mourning, but some of the courtiers' children are the only ones in the family. .If a group of courtiers' children were killed, it would be a big trouble, and Situ Xun's actions coincided with this logic of behavior.

As for whether Situ Xun thought about the life and death of those two hapless bastards when he made the decision, no one was going to investigate, because he also sent someone to look for it, and it wasn't him who let the two little princes run around.According to Xianyang, the emperor felt that his eldest son really understood the principle of being decisive and adapting to the situation, and was promising, so he didn't think about other things at all.

Except for the fact that the two little princes were frightened, everyone was basically happy, and what the two little princes saw, they also told the emperor.Daiyu didn't have any questions about where the emperor had gone. This was not something she could ask. The originally happy summer safari ended up like this, and there was still a lot of noise outside to put out the fire.The children drank the Anshen soup and were sent away to rest. Daiyu sent someone to send a letter to Yingchun, saying that the child was fine, and she was asked to rest because it was too messy, and Guo Yang would be sent to her tomorrow.

"I don't know if the weather was dry and the things were dry, which caused the mountain fire, or someone who was struck by lightning secretly lit a fire in the mountain to make a stove during the hunting." But they are all the sons of her close relatives and friends, not to mention that Liang Zhao is her nephew and the eldest grandson of the second room of the Liang family. If there is something good or bad, how can she explain it.

But Xianyang sneered: "Secretly lighting a fire to make a stove? My sister is just thinking about making people better, then..." She swallowed her words, and when the emperor asked, Liang You went to arrange for someone to tell Daiyu.Xianyang listened to the whole audience, but at this moment she forcibly shut up, Daiyu looked at her and said: "If you can't say it, then that's fine."

"Well, it's not impossible to say." There are only four women in this room, all sitting in the same boat, and they have known who the other party is for such a long time, so if they say it, it will remind them.Princess Xianyang said: "The second and fourth sons of the emperor said that they saw more than a dozen men in black clothes in the mountains, and they said something about lighting a fire and trying to burn them to death. Fortunately, these two young ones are quite clever. They covered their mouths and kept silent until they were found by the guards, otherwise..."

Ah!

Several people were shocked, and Daiyu also had a strange expression on her face. At first she thought it was a dry mountain fire, because people were hunting in the mountains, and it was really not easy to do it.For example, now, even if you are startled, several children can leave safely from inside, let alone adults.This kind of teaching is more like a threat?

No, Daiyu told the story, several women thought hard, and Tanchun rolled his eyes: "Sister Lin, this is like breaking a pot, it's good if it succeeds, if it doesn't work, it's good to make things difficult for others... this The method is like a method that a woman came up with." Tanchun's words were not aimless, she thought of her biological mother, Aunt Zhao.

What she said was polite, but in fact this kind of method is disgusting, even if it is unsuccessful and does not actually hurt you, it will disgust you.What she didn't say was that even if the idea wasn't from a woman, it had to be from someone who had been underappreciated for a long time.

Although a few people have a happy family life, they have never eaten pork and have seen pigs running. This kind of obvious idea can be understood after thinking about it.Indeed, it has the meaning that the inner house can't beat the disgusting people. If it is said that this is a battle between men, then this method is too clumsy.

Daiyu sighed: "We are only guessing here, we don't know how the fire is outside." She looked at the fire shining on the red night sky outside, "If it burns like this, next year this summer resort will be gone. "As soon as the words fell, there was a thunderbolt outside, and it was a beautiful thing, and it started to rain.

The sweltering air changed, and Xianyang went to open the window himself, and the coolness of the summer rain came oncoming.With the sound of the rain, Tanchun said softly: "Even if we don't know the truth, why can't we guess, Sister Lin and the two sisters-in-law, why don't we guess?"

The four imperial courts began to spread paper and ink, and the four proposed suspects one by one, and told how they are now.In the end, there were only five characters on the paper: King Ning, Marquis of Dingcheng!

King Ning Situ Chang has the biggest suspicion, and the person who helped him must be the Dingcheng Hou Mansion.Not only the four of them, but also Situ Kuo, who was watching the mountains and seas of fire in the rain, thought so too.At present, only King Ning has the resources, influence, and motivation to do this.It's just that Situ Kuo looked at the fire and sneered, he could only do this, no wonder his father looked down on him as a little brother.

Just as it took the emperor many years to gradually clear the power of the Marquis of Donghai from the navy, the Marquis of Dingcheng has only a false title, but he is a real military exploit after all. As long as the old Marquis of Dingcheng is still alive, his influence is still there. , you can find someone to help King Ning.This matter still needs to be considered in the long term, Situ Kuo thought, he still respects those court veterans.

"Your Majesty, get in the car." Shi Guangzhu suggested from the side: "This game is still very good, the mountain fire has obviously been extinguished."

The emperor gathered his cloak, turned around and walked towards the carriage. When he was about to get into the carriage, he reminded: "Tell Boheng about this matter. They may have suspected reasons for doing this, or there may be other reasons. Let him be careful, I Give him the right to act arbitrarily, and if the situation changes, let him, Guo Ang, and Cheng Kuang return immediately, and don't enter Ping'an Prefecture!"

It was too late to say this, because it was originally agreed to observe for a few days before entering Ping'an Prefecture, but Guo Ang saw that Ping'an City was in front of him, and he was really scratching his head if he didn't go in.Finally, the three of them had a discussion. They took most of the guards and pretended to be a caravan. Jia Yan sent someone to look for Tan Zhengqi first.Then Tan Zhengqi came forward to help Cheng Kuang handle the matter of entering the city. Anyway, there are many caravans coming and going in Pingan Prefecture, so it will not attract attention.

The plan was implemented perfectly. Jia Yan watched Tan Zhengqi's housekeeper dealing with the city gate soldiers, and Guo Lianzhi next to him whispered in his ear, "This is the end of the corruption." Jia Yan remained calm, but agreed in his heart. Wu's border.Wang Ziteng had just inspected the border two years ago, and it seemed that he had indeed filled Lord Wang's stomach, so he could turn a blind eye to this situation.

"Look, Boheng!" Jia Yan followed Guo Ang's line of sight and saw that a carriage of the caravan behind them was not covered with felt, and all that was exposed were salt barrels.There is salt, maybe there is iron, Jia Yan signaled Guo Ang to keep quiet.Now that they are on other people's territory, they must be careful in everything. Jia Boheng doesn't have the dedication to die for his country.

Tan Zhengqi has been walking on thin ice for more than a year. In fact, Duan Long and the others have no time to pay attention to him, a mid-level officer from a local background, but he has a ghost in his heart. Pot of.Jia Yan barely recognized him when he saw him. Tan Zhengqi looked much thinner than the year before, and his whole body was sharp.

A proper sense of urgency will make people tend to strengthen themselves. Jia Yan looked at Tan Zhengqi's entourage. It seems that he has not wasted this year.It took Tan Zhengqi's hard work to be able to train ordinary entourages like this. Cheng Kuang led people to guard in the courtyard, and Jia Yan and Guo Ang followed Tan Zhengqi into the main room.

"Duan Long started to increase the soldiers' salary in the middle of last year. In fact, it is not deducted, and the salary is normal." Tan Zhengqi went straight to the point: "He was not so generous in the past. The Jiedu envoys in this place have never been so generous. I'm afraid Something will happen, if you don’t come again, I will send a letter.”

Raising wages, stimulating soldiers to work hard... This is Jia Yan's first reaction, but can it really achieve his goal?In border towns like Ping'an Prefecture, soldiers were also sent by the imperial court to change defenses, but most of them were locals.They couldn't be more clear about the virtues of Ping'an State.It is true that the salary increase will be happy, but this kind of stimulation may not be enough to make the soldiers work hard. Duan Long has been serving as Jiedushi for almost ten years.

For this kind of thing, it is useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, Jia Yan judged.

"The so-called ignorance of self-knowledge," Guo Ang shook his head, sarcastically: "But why did it start last year? Since they have been flirting with each other in the early years, it has been more than a year since His Majesty ascended the throne, and it actually started in the middle of the year." He muttered, Jia Yan was not without doubts, the timing was very subtle, could it be that Jingzhong and Ping'an Prefecture had colluded?

Tan Zhengqi continued: "Perhaps that's the case. Also, Duan Long started to focus on cavalry training two months ago." Also, the training has been so-so.He suddenly had to intensify the training, saying that Duan Long's conscience found that he was going to go out and beat the Mobei barbarians?

Whether others believe it or not, Jia Yan absolutely does not believe it. Guo Ang said that this kind of action is more like preparing for a war.Tan Zhengqi gave professional advice, he also thought so, and he wanted to prepare for a quick war: Duan Long only trained cavalry...

"Should we report to Jingzhong?" Guo Lianzhi said: "Then let's withdraw first and remind all checkpoints along the road to strengthen their guard in case of accidents."

Jia Yan nodded, and then said: "We all withdrew and sent a letter to Jingzhong. Zhengqi's family members dressed up as caravans and went with us in batches. Then Lianzhi stayed outside the city, as did Cheng Kuang. Act like nothing happened."

"What are you going to do?" Guo Ang suddenly felt bad: "You..."

Jia Yan said with a smile: "I want to put on a full set of ceremonial guards, so that the Ping'an Prefecture Jiedu will go out of the city to welcome them, and enter the city in a fair manner." Guo Ang waved his hands again and again when he finished speaking, saying that this is absolutely not possible, it is too dangerous .

"If Duan Long has a different intention, it is not impossible for him to kill you to sacrifice the flag." Guo Ang still wanted to speak, but Jia Yan said: "But we need conclusive evidence, otherwise we will turn around and return to Beijing now. Paying, starting to reorganize the army, and using this kind of trumped-up crime to get him out of power? Take it easy, the government and the opposition will not be convinced, but it will hurt your majesty's reputation, and make people think you and I are incompetent."

Guo Ang sighed: "Then I will go into the city with you, otherwise the two agreed imperial envoys, General Cheng can stay outside the city, if I don't show up, Duan Long and the others will be suspicious."

Jia Yan thought about the same thing, and simply agreed.Everything was well planned, and when they were about to leave Ping'an City, Jia Yan and Guo Ang, who were surrounded by the team, unexpectedly saw Jia Lian who came to Ping'an Prefecture with his slaves!
