The atmosphere in the Li family is different from the mansions of powerful officials outside. The adults in the family have a good temper, and even if the servants accidentally do something wrong, they will not be punished excessively. Gradually, the servants will be more tolerant.
It's open.
Naturally, the things that need to be done will still be done, but the mind is relaxed and there is no need to worry. There will be generous rewards during the holidays, and two days of vacation are allowed every month. This situation is impossible to exist anywhere in Kyoto.
But today, everyone was very energetic and did not dare to slack off at all.
This is the second lady's first day back. If something goes wrong, my master will not beat or scold them, but he will definitely deduct all their rewards for this month.
The maids were busy up and down, and occasionally glanced at a certain hall. They thought that the madam and the second lady were the most beautiful people in the world, but they didn't expect that the second madam was not inferior at all, even the one who came with the second madam.
I don’t know if she could be Miss Wan from the third wife, nor is she an ordinary beauty.
"Sister, please have tea."
In the hall, Zui Mo held tea and handed it to Ruyi with a smile.
Ruyi put the tea aside, stood up, took her hand, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, sister, come and sit."
Although there was still one missing ritual, that was all that was missing. The door of the Li family was easy to get in and difficult to get out. Once she walked into the Li family, she would never want to go out again.
What happened yesterday was actually very simple. The Zeng Mansion was burned down by people sent by King Xin, and Yangliu Lane was occupied by relatives of Lao Fang's family. It was not good to take two Yunying unmarried women to the inn in the middle of the night, and it would inevitably cause trouble.
People are criticizing that taking them home to settle them is the best way.
After hearing the news, the old lady rushed over in a hurry. She was busy until midnight and rested here directly. By the way, she also finalized the wedding date, which was set at the end of next month. The date was arranged by her old lady in advance and she had already missed it.
There have been several good and auspicious days, and the next one will be next month.
Zui Mo actually didn't think of this, but when the old lady opened her mouth, she couldn't refute, so she agreed in a daze, and this was how the scene happened in the morning.
What surprised Li Yi was that last night, Ruo Qing didn't refuse to move in with Zui Mo. If she didn't nod first, Zui Mo wouldn't agree either.
King Xin set the fire - he couldn't bear to settle the score with him.
Lao Fang stood in the yard, looked at the three women who were talking quietly in the house, then looked at Li Yi, and asked in a low voice: "Uncle, tell the truth, did you deliberately find someone to set the fire yesterday?"
?”
Li Yi frowned and looked at him and asked: "Do I look like this kind of person? You saw those dead soldiers with your own eyes. Besides, would I let them take such a big risk?"
Lao Fang thought for a while, nodded, and asked again: "Uncle, tell me the truth, is King Xin one of ours?"
Lao Fang's question was very good. Even Li Yi himself had such a question at a certain moment.
"I suddenly couldn't bear it..." Li Yi thought for a while and said, "How about just breaking his legs?"
"You said it was two legs last night."
"...Two legs?"
…
The fire in the Zeng Mansion was neither a big deal nor a small matter. It didn't cause much commotion last night, and it didn't cause much trouble during the day either.
Of course, some people cannot hide it even if they want to.
Zeng Shichun walked in in a panic. When he saw Li Yi, he asked straight to the point: "How is Zui Mo? He's not injured?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "The house was burned down, but no one was injured."
After all, that was the Zeng Mansion. Zeng Shichun showed a trace of sadness on his face, shook his head and said: "If the house burns, it will burn. As long as the people are fine, it will be fine."
"Where is the person who set the fire? Have you been caught?"
He only found out about this matter in the morning. He came over in a hurry and did not go to the county government office to inquire about the situation.
Li Yi shook his head, "They are all dead soldiers."
Even for the dignitaries in Kyoto, it is not easy to cultivate dead soldiers. It requires huge resources to use dead soldiers to set fire. Perhaps only those princes can do it.
If there are only clues about those dead soldiers, it will be difficult to investigate this case. Even if King Xin cannot compete for the crown prince, he is still a prince. Even if he is finally found, there will be no excessive punishment.
Knowing that Li Yi had his own thoughts on this matter, Zeng Shichun didn't say much. After seeing Zui Mo, he left in a hurry.
Not long after, Li Xuan and the eldest princess came to the door at the same time.
Li Yi said in surprise: "It's only been a few days since the Great Court Meeting. You guys shouldn't be so free, right?"
"I already know the matter." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said: "Even if King Xin can be found in the end, I'm afraid there will be no results. Now the imperial meeting is coming, and many officials are gathering in Kyoto. You must not mess up.
Come, I will settle matters concerning King Xin after the court meeting."
"Don't worry, I'm sensible." Li Yi shook his head and said, "The most I can do is burn his letter to the palace..."
"——"
Seeing Li Mingzhu and Li Xuan looking at him, Li Yi waved his hand and said: "Just kidding, setting a fire can easily implicate innocent people. Even if I break his legs, I will not do such a thing as setting a fire."
"——"
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Li Yi shook his head and said, "What about you, how are you preparing for that matter...?"
Li Xuan sat down next to him, took a sip of tea, and said: "Let's talk about your burning of Prince Xin's Mansion. Do you have enough manpower? If you want my help, I can let them sprinkle kerosene from the air..."
…
The largest hook bar in Kyoto.
Xiaozhu walked over carrying a teapot, pointed at a young man, and said, "Hey, um, your name is Xu Zheng. Let them take a break and drink a glass of water. We will move it later. There is no rush."
The young man named Xu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile: "Miss Xiaozhu, where are you moving to? Is it the Zeng Mansion? Why don't I ask them to send you there directly."
Not to mention that Zeng Mansion was okay, but as soon as Zeng Mansion was mentioned, an angry expression appeared on Xiaozhu's face, she waved her hands and said, "If it's not Zeng Mansion, I will never go to Zeng Mansion again!"
Xu Zheng asked curiously: "What happened?"
"You don't know, last night, when we were about to go to bed, some bad guys set off rockets in the dark. The house in Zeng's house was burned down. The lady and I were frightened..." She patted her chest and said,
With a lingering fear in his heart, he said, "I can't imagine, if we all fell asleep last night, would those bad guys want to burn us to death..."
Naturally, she didn't know how strong the security forces inside and outside the Zeng Mansion were. Even in the middle of the night, there were people on duty, so something like that would never happen.
"Zeng Mansion - was set on fire?" Xu Zheng was stunned, lowered his head and asked: "Miss Xiaozhu knows... who set the fire?"
"I don't know... Xiaozhu shook his head, and seemed to remember something, and said: "It seems that some kind of King Xin sent death soldiers. Those people are so terrible that they are not even afraid of death. I have heard about it...
..., Hey, you guys have had a rest, just move quickly, just move it to the carriage outside, don’t leave anything behind..."
"good!"
The young man responded cheerfully, the smile returned to his face, and he waved to the person behind him, "If you are quick with your hands and feet, you will delay the girl's business..."
Xinwangfu.
"What, just burn down the house?" King Xin learned the news from a servant, waved his hand and cursed: "A bunch of trash, they can't handle such a small thing, what's the point of living...
"
"Your Highness, the guards of the Zeng Mansion are so powerful. None of our dead soldiers have returned. I'm afraid..."
King Xin waved his hand, "Forget it, let him be proud for a few more days..."
In Prince Xin's Mansion, a man who looked like a housekeeper pointed at several servants who were moving things and asked: "What are you moving?"
One of the servants smiled and said: "Go back to Butler Zhao, this is the liquor I just purchased outside today..."
"Okay, okay, I understand..." Butler Zhao waved his hand and warned: "Go and do your work, remember to be careful..."
