Yun Zheng looked worriedly at the few people who were tied up tightly in the military patrol shop on the ground. He really didn't know what to do with them. He usually received small favors from others, drank a few sips of wine, and pushed the newly invented water dragon cart.
Use kerosene to burn the home of a founding prince.
When they were caught, they didn't know how to run away. When the Yun family generals rushed over, they were still pouring fire oil into the Yun family yard. When they saw the people coming, they immediately captured them.
Junxunpu is the fire brigade in Tokyo that is responsible for putting out fires. These people are very good at putting out fires, and of course they are also good at setting fires. The three courtyards of the Yun family were burned thoroughly and evenly. In a short period of time, they had already burned
Half of it collapsed, and the flames shot up to a height of ten feet. Together with the place where Di Qing's house was on fire, two huge torches illuminated the dark alley outside Xuanwu Gate.
"This kind of thing is called rebellion. Don't you know that it's against the Yi clan?"
Yun Zheng asked those lifeless guys curiously.
One of the guys who looked like the leader said dryly: "You can't lie to me. I just burned down your house by mistake. It's considered arson. I was exiled for three thousand miles. It's not as serious as you said."
After saying this, he looked at the raging fire in the Yun family, hesitated and said, "Maybe it's a little serious. I'll give you my life. Eighteen years later, I'll be a hero again."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "Just accept your fate. I'm afraid you won't accept your fate. If you just burned my house, it would probably be enough to pay for it with your own life. But you seem to have also burned down the Imperial College, Kaifeng Mansion, and the house of the Deputy Privy Councilor.
According to this situation, I am afraid that the families of the prime ministers will not be spared. You are also people who make a living in the capital. What do you think this kind of behavior is called rebellion?
Do you really think that losing your own life is enough? You fool, have you been deceived by others? Tsk, tut, burying the lives of your parents, wife, and children for a few copper coins is indeed a sign of righteousness.
Yun Tian's good man, Yun Mou admires him, admires him."
"You're talking nonsense. We are just not angry with you for beating the censor and causing the Song Dynasty to lose Gangchang, so we plan to burn your home to teach you a lesson. Who will rebel?"
Another man from the military patrol shop shouted angrily.
Yun Zheng asked someone to help the fool up, pointed to the fire scene in his house and said to him: "This is the Yun family, right?"
Without waiting for his answer, he pointed to Di Qing's house and said, "That's the house of the Deputy Privy Envoy, right?'
Then he asked his general to turn his head to the south, point to the fire scene there, and say: "That's the Imperial College, right?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the red sky in the east and said to him: "You are from the military patrol shop, and you are most familiar with the terrain of Tokyo. Please tell me, where is the red place? I remember the Kaifeng government office.
It seems to be right there. That area is where officials live. If a Kaifeng government office catches fire, half of the sky will turn red?
Haha, luckily the palace didn’t catch on fire. If the palace caught on fire, you probably wouldn’t be able to escape the charge of killing the nine tribes, right?”
Yun Zheng saw the look of despair on the guy's face getting thicker and thicker, and it was obvious that his legs could no longer support his body, so he asked the general to let go. As soon as he let go, the guy fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.
Yun Zheng patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile: "I know you have been deceived, but our Song Dynasty has always made no distinction between masters and slaves in the crime of treason. If you catch it, it will be beheading or rooting out. There is no other way.
If you do this kind of thing by using people's money to eliminate disasters, you will have to bear the consequences. I won't beat you, and there is no point in beating you. It seems that I have lost my temper by being so fussy with a person whose whole family is about to be beheaded.
Lao Liao, search all these people's bodies. Don't let them commit suicide by taking poison. Send them all to the Wucheng Army and Horse Department. This is a face to Lao Shi. The military patrol shop is under the jurisdiction of the third government office. His second son is Zhang Jun.
His immediate boss, it’s up to him how to deal with it.
By the way, Lao Liao, let Lao Shi rebuild the Yun family’s burned-down house by the way, and give him the blueprints after Madam finishes it.”
The generals searched these people's clothes carefully and found a few poison pills from the skirts of their clothes. The angry old Liao did not listen to the cries and pleas of these people at all, and asked the generals to throw them onto the bullock cart.
Sent to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division.
The three courtyards of the Yun family were so hot that no one could get close enough to put out the fire. The military patrol finally arrived, but they were beaten by the people in the alley and ran away in panic... No one dared to let them put out the fire.
When it was daylight and the fire gradually became smaller, the Yun family's servants and neighbors threw countless water-filled pig urine bubbles into the fire. Only then did the cow urine bubbles completely put out the fire.
The housekeeper Lao Liao came forward to invite the neighbors who came to put out the fire to have a meal and distribute rewards. Yun Zheng joined Di Qing and went to court together in a carriage. There is no justice for such a thing.
The market looked messy, every pedestrian walking on the street looked bad, and there were many people patrolling the market with sticks. This was the first reaction of the people after they discovered that the government was not reliable.
Perhaps this is what the arsonists wanted to achieve.
"Zhang Jun's whole family must be dead, right?" Di Qing, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his mouth and asked.
"I also think he should be dead. If he hadn't died, some people would be in great trouble." Yun Zheng answered casually, grabbed two hot buns from the food box and handed them to Di Qing.
"No matter what, after this fire incident, Tokyo City can finally settle down. We still don't want to push His Majesty too much. Although we are reasonable, pushing too hard at this time is not a good thing."
"The Yun family has no intention of interfering. The only request is to build three more houses for the Yun family. As for how His Majesty will farewell, I don't ask. Look, the Kaifeng Mansion burned worse than us!" Yun Zheng raised the car window.
The curtain above points outward.
Di Qing glanced at the still smoking Kaifeng Mansion, sighed and continued to eat steamed buns. It was pitiful that his old wife and son only stomped their feet and cursed the arsonists patrolling the shop, but they forgot that their master had gone to the shop early in the morning.
Going to court...
"The steamed stuffed buns are good, as are the millet porridge. I'll send a cook to your house tomorrow to learn how to make them. Eating these in the morning will make your stomach feel good." Di Qing is a thoroughbred Northerner and likes pasta very much.
Xuanwumen Alley is not far from the Imperial City. After the two of them had breakfast, the carriage stopped outside the palace gate.
When Yun Zheng got off the carriage, he immediately became the center of attention for all the officials waiting to see him.
Today, Yun Zheng wears a crimson robe and skirt, lined with a white flower robe, tied with a large belt, and then tied with a leather belt to cover the knees, with a square heart-shaped collar, white silk stockings and black leather shoes. A jade sword and jade pendant are the same.
Quite a few, in addition, there is a brave brocade ribbon representing the third-rank official hanging around the waist, and a Haechi crown on the head. There are two hat wings and a white hairpin behind the crown. The hand holds a white wat board.
In addition, the young man is handsome, with a face like a crown jade and a body as strong as a pine tree. Once he stands in a group of military officers with fat heads and big ears, he immediately has the effect of standing out from the crowd.
"Hehehe, it is said that one should be young to become an official in order to be fashionable. Marquis Yun put on this court robe to show off his clothes. The young man wears the scarlet robe, he really looks good!"
When Yun Zheng saw Pang Ji speaking out, he stepped forward and saluted: "Pang Gong was so complimentary. Your subordinate thought the morning court had already started. Why hasn't the palace door opened yet?"
Pang Ji said with a smile: "It was all caused by the fire last night. Your Majesty was furious. The first people to enter the palace were the officials of the three yamen and the soldiers and horses of the five cities. Your Majesty must first find out the whole story.
Think long term.
I heard that water leaked into Marquis Yun’s house last night. Is there serious damage? Are there any casualties?"
Yun Zheng said with a gloomy face: "Something really weird happened. The people from the military patrol shop poured kerosene into my house with a water hose. I really don't know who gave them the courage. No one was hurt, but three courtyards were swallowed up by Zhu Rong.
Already."
Pang Ji sighed and said, "Last night the water came out of my house. Several servants were killed and injured. An apricot tree that I have always liked was also destroyed. It doesn't matter, just let it go."
Yun Zheng nodded and said: "The affairs of the country are complicated, and I don't want to get involved. Your Majesty will make your own decision on this matter. As long as someone rebuilds the three houses for me, I won't take it seriously."
Pang Jizheng glanced at Yun Zheng and nodded happily: "Yes, yes, the most important thing at this time is to find out the whole story. The slight damage to you and me is really nothing. Thank you Marquis Yun for understanding my difficulties."
.”
Yun Zheng took Pang Ji's sleeve and walked aside and whispered: "Who is so bold? It's a dry time in Tokyo now, so he doesn't worry about a fire starting and destroying the entire camp."
This city? It looks like it is going to be difficult for everyone in the Song Dynasty.
The official's family captured several thieves at the time of the incident. After preliminary interrogation, it was learned that the order was given by Zhang Jun, the governor of the bodyguard and horse army, Yuhou.
Under the command of Ma Si Shi Gong, you should know this."
A cold light flashed in Pang Ji's eyes, and he said bitterly: "Do you know whose house was burned the most last night? It was the house of Zhang Jun, the bodyguard, the military commander, and the commander of the army.
Everything was destroyed at Zhu Rong's mouth."
Yun Zheng was silent for a while, nodded and returned to the group of military attachés. At this time, the palace door was already wide open, and the eunuchs shouted, "The ministers are here to see you!" The civil and military officials consciously lined up according to their official titles and titles and entered the palace.
Yun Zheng was surprised to find that he was ranked fifth among the military attaches by the imperial censor. Although the censor's teeth had not grown yet and his speech was still a bit leaky, he arranged the positions with an expressionless face. It was expected that there would be no difference. Yun Zheng came towards
The censor smiled and entered the Buhua Hall behind the Daqing Hall. He made the right mistake this time and walked to the left.
Wang Zhe, the general of the Japanese army, smiled and said to Yun Zheng: "Marquis Yun, how did you feel about walking to the right that day?"
Everyone else was in a dark cloud, but he had nothing to do with it. Maybe there would be some benefits, so he was naturally in a good mood and had time to tease Yun Zheng.
"Everything else is fine, except that the censor doesn't need to be beaten! The prince can try it next time."
"Forget it, this is something that a person like you, who is in the heart of the emperor, can do. If I do this, it will be a trivial matter to be dismissed from office and seize the title. It will be a sin to let the descendants have no food. After entering the palace for a while, it is still a crime.
It depends on Marquis Yun to help Lao Shi by saying a few kind words, Lao Shi will have a hard time this time."
"That's natural. I gave all the thieves I captured last night to Lao Shi. He wants to return this favor to me. If no one helps me repair the house in a while, I will blame Lao Shi!"
Wang Zhe said sternly: "Of course it is. Junxunpu is under the command of his younger brother. He has caused such a big disaster. We will definitely not let him go!" (To be continued)
