Chapter 293 Burning the Forbidden City

The full moon hangs high in the sky, and the fire from the underground soars into the sky.

There were fires everywhere, and the entire Forbidden City almost turned into a sea of ​​fire.

Yan Jing, the chief supervisor of the Inner Supervision Office, felt that the air was getting hotter and hotter, and kept wiping the sweat on his head, "How come the fire is so big?"

Ji Aojian smiled and said, "Everyone hopes that the fire will catch a fire. There are many people and the power will come true. The fire will naturally burn bigger and bigger."

Ji Moli said, "The bigger the fire, the more it means that it is in line with public opinion."

Eunuch Yan was so anxious that he jumped, "Now that he was burned into this situation, no one could get rid of it afterwards. It was all the same as death."

Ji Aojian said lightly, "All burned is done, no one has the responsibility."

Suddenly, the window broke, and a long tongue of flame came in, rolling in at Eunuch Yan with the scorching heat.

Yan Jing screamed, his soul flew out of the sky. Suddenly, he felt a lighter on his feet, the scene in front of him changed, and his whole body had fallen outside the house.

He wiped a handful of slightly burnt hair and looked at Ji Aojian who raised him, and said in shock, "Miss Ten, thank you."

Ji Aojian immediately regretted saving him.

There were noisy sounds everywhere, screams, running, and firefighting. Suddenly, a few sharp screams sounded, as if someone had been hit by a sword.

Eunuch Yan was shocked, "What's going on? Isn't it just a fire? Why did civil strife still start?"

Ji Ao Jian said, "When Zhurong comes, everyone wants to take the opportunity to grab some treasures and keep them privately. Maybe some father-in-law have unevenly divided the spoils and started to take action."

Yan Jing said angrily. "There are so many treasures in the palace, and everyone can only use their skills to carry them. How can they move the black knife behind their backs?"

Ji Aojian smiled and said, "Don't you think there is anything wrong with sending someone to move treasures?"

Yan Jing suddenly felt something was wrong in his heart and hesitated, "What do you mean?"

Ji Ao Jian said, "If you don't care for yourself, heaven will be punished by the earth. Now you have the right time and place. Just take a few pieces of precious jewelry and escape from the palace and go far away to a foreign land, you can have food and clothing for your whole life."

Eunuch Yan was stunned, "You mean. Many people will run away privately after snatching the treasures?"

Ji Ao Jian said, "Is this necessary to think about it?"

Yan Jing shook his head, "There are layers of guards outside the palace. How can someone escape?"

Ji Ao Jian said. "The Imperial Guards are not fools. When they saw the fire in the palace, they knew that they would rob them privately in the name of putting out fires."

Yan Jing said, "It's outrageous. The imperial guards are strict in discipline. How can they do such things?"

Ji Ao Jian said, "With your example, the guards will see it. Well. Maybe the murder just now is the Imperial Guards suppressing order, and then they just took the treasure into their arms."

Yan Jing's head was filled with sweat, "How could this happen?"

He thought hard in his mind and suddenly understood the current situation.

Today's fire was done by various palace officials, who wanted to bury past crimes and make money from the fire, so they were afraid that the fire would not be released big enough and no one would care about it, which would burn it into a prairie fire.

The chief executives set fire on their own calculations, and the subordinates who secretly moved the treasures couldn't help but think about it. Even the palace servants who didn't know the truth could at least know that this was a good opportunity to make money, so they all extended their hands.

The guards came to put out the fire. When they saw the current situation of the fire, they immediately became active and would kill people and seize treasures in the name of security.

In order to intimidate the major sects and foreign ministers, there are only four personal guards left in the palace. They have to guard, put out fires, and grab treasures, so the staff is insufficient, and even a few personal guard commanders cannot control the overall situation. Moreover, they have to take the opportunity to make a fortune, and they will not maintain order in the true sense.

All of this was because Zhu Ziyi was no longer in the palace. The head of the palace guards had a strange intention and whether the fire should be saved or not finally evolved to the point where the situation was out of control.

Yan Jing understood all this and felt extremely panicked, "How will this fire end up being in chaos?"

He was the mastermind of setting fire today. Although he had already communicated with other general managers, now he saw that the fire suffered so much that he would definitely not be able to escape responsibility.

Ji Aojian said, "Eunuch Yan, stop thinking about it, hurry up and take a few jewelry and escape."

Yan Jing said, "Can I run away?"

Ji Aojian nodded, "The Imperial Guards are busy going into the palace to find treasures, who has the heart to guard the gate? Besides, if the fire continues to grow, tens of thousands of people in the Forbidden City will run away. When the crowds rush, who can defend it?"

Eunuch Yan felt that this was very reasonable. Looking back at his residence, he could no longer steal anything, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Fortunately, he bought a different restaurant outside the palace and stored a lot of furniture. At this moment, he rushed out of the palace and quickly cleaned up, and he was going to hide his name and flee to the world.

This fire will surely burn many people to death and disappear from the scene. It may be included in the list of the dead and will not be investigated again.

While comforting himself, the chief manager found a direction with a smaller fire and ran around in panic.

Not long after walking, four or five soldiers came towards him. As soon as he saw him, he shouted, "Is another eunuch who wants to escape privately. I want to run away in front of the old man from the Jinwu Guard?"

Yan Jing cursed, "Is your dog eyes blind? I don't even know our family?"

The soldiers laughed and said, "The military master only knows the eunuch who fled with treasure. Who knows what kind of supervisor you are?"

Yan Jing felt cold and suddenly realized that the Forbidden City was in chaos. These soldiers killed him and threw him into the fire. Afterwards, they said that he died in the sea of ​​fire and did not take any responsibility at all.

He hurriedly changed his words, "Several military officials, there is really nothing valuable in our family."

I really didn't have time to bring my belongings out.

These Jinwugu laughed, "You are a big manager and don't have precious jewelry, who believes?"

A sergeant drew his sword and slashed, shouting, "Don't talk nonsense to him, cut him down first and then search for the body."

With a loud "bang", the sergeant who was waving the knife fell straight backwards.

Manager Yan was holding a musket in his hand, and blue smoke was emitting from the muzzle.

Several other Jinwuwei were furious, "This old castrated man actually has a firearm!"

There was a continuous sound of choking, and four sharp steel knives were unsheathed together and cut them over at the same time.

Yan Jing fired the bullet, only an empty gun in his hand, and was extremely frightened and shouted loudly, "Miss Ten, save our family!"

Ji Aojian had taken a step, but when he heard his shout, he retreated back.

Several soldiers cut down General Manager Yan, searched his body for a while, and only found a white jade ring, and couldn't help but curse, "This old dog is not covered by any penny."

Someone said annoyedly, "I knew I wouldn't kill him just now, so I should have forced him to go back and get his belongings."

A sergeant with the tallest figure and seemed to be the leader suddenly recovered, "This old eunuch seemed to have called Miss Ten before he died?"

Everyone immediately woke up, "Yes, this Yan must have a lover in the palace. If we catch her, we will know where his wealth is hidden."

Several soldiers looked around and saw two figures standing not far away, so they walked over with steel knives.

Ji Aojian looked at these people approaching and wondered, "Can the eunuch have a good relationship?"

Ji Moli glared at him, "Why didn't it? This is called right food in the palace."

Ji Aojian suddenly realized, "Oh, I seem to have heard of it." (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
