Chapter 418 418 Fire breaks out, punches the master to death
The dispute between the two finally ended with Xiao Jiu'an leaving, and Ji Yunkai didn't feel any uneasiness or guilt about this.
Evil will eventually be punished, and the way of heaven is reincarnation. If you don’t believe it, look up and see who God has spared. Did Xiao Jiuan feel guilty and uneasy when he tormented her?
She was just tit for tat. If Xiao Jiuan felt unhappy, he would just kick her out.
After watching Xiao Jiuan go out, Ji Yunkai stood up, drank a glass of water, locked the door, and went to sleep.
According to Xiao Jiu'an's proud personality, if he goes out, he will never come back.
In this regard, Xiao Jiuan is very similar to her. They are both stubborn people who want to save face. They will never look back even if they regret the choices they make, but...
Ji Yunkai didn't know that Xiao Jiuan was back, but he just didn't come in.
Half an hour later, when Xiao Jiuan came over with the medicine, he saw the locked door. After a moment of silence, Xiao Jiuan casually threw the medicine in his hand to the secret guard in the dark.
"Pah!" The secret guard was unprepared and was hit by the porcelain bottle. He gasped in pain, but he did not dare to make a sound and could only rub his forehead silently.
Who said they weren't alert enough? The prince threw a medicine bottle from such a distance, but they didn't react to catch it. Fortunately, the prince didn't care about them, otherwise they would have to go back and train again.
Perhaps because of a lot of trouble at night, Ji Yunkai got up half an hour later than usual the next day. After going out to have breakfast, Ji Yunkai hesitated and decided to go to the pharmacy to see Dr. Zhuge.
Torturing Xiao Jiu'an with the scent of flowers for two consecutive nights, he must have hit his bottom line. A person must have a clear eye. If he makes a fuss once or twice, it is willful. If he does it, he is stupid.
After running to the pharmacy, Ji Yunkai found out that Dr. Zhuge had not returned. He said that he was taking care of the wounded in the army and would not be back in a short time.
Unable to find anyone to chat with, Ji Yunkai stayed in the pharmacy for half an hour and then went out. Just as he was thinking about going back to the courtyard to find a book to read, he heard the guard coming to report that Prince Duan was here and there was something urgent to do.
see her.
Since the Yanbei Palace cooperated with Prince Duan to open Liulicang, it has been much easier for Prince Duan to meet Ji Yunkai.
"Your Majesty? How come you have time to look for me at this time?" Isn't this the critical moment for firing colored glaze? Prince Duan Wang came to look for her at this time. Could something have happened?
Ji Yunkai came to the flower hall with a solemn expression. When he saw Prince Duan's face was tired and his eyes were red, he knew that not only had something happened, but something serious had happened.
Ji Yunkai didn't mince words and asked directly: "What happened to Liulicang?"
Prince Duan was startled, nodded heavily, and said in a hoarse voice: "Liulifang was burned down, and all the craftsmen died tragically." In other words, they could no longer burn colored glaze, at least not in a short period of time.
"All?" Ji Yunkai was startled and his pupils suddenly dilated.
Prince Duan opened his stall very big, Liuli Shao said there were hundreds of workers, and he died just like that?
More than a hundred lives were lost just because of one Liulifang?
"Well, at midnight last night, a fire broke out in Liulicang. All the people inside were trapped by the fire. No one could escape. The fire was not extinguished until this morning." Crown Prince Duan looked decadent, with his eyes closed, as if he didn't dare.
He looked at Ji Yunkai.
Although there are flammable materials and fire points in Liulicang, they have made fire prevention preparations in advance. If a fire really breaks out, it can be extinguished in an hour at most, and it is impossible for it to burn overnight.
It burned for most of the night and was extinguished only at dawn. You don't need to check to know that it was man-made.
"Can we find out who moved it?" Ji Yunkai bit his lip and clenched his fist tightly, and then he controlled the anger in his heart.
Those who take action are really going too far.
Hundreds of lives!
"There are just a few people on the left and right. Nanjiang, Beichen and Tianwu must be involved. It's hard to say that the big merchants in Tianqi, but they are likely to have used their power secretly." Under the eyes of the emperor, setting fire to Liulifang was not something he could do.
There is nothing easy that cannot be accomplished by one country and one family alone.
"You want a Liuli workshop? Don't you want our Liulic workshop to produce Liuli?" The former refers to Nanjiang and Beichen, of course, and the latter refers to Tianwu.
"The emperor interrupted the negotiations with Tianwu because of our Liulicang, and made many demands. If we bake the colored glaze, Tianwu will lose a lot of profits." Prince Duan still closed his eyes, not daring to look at Ji Yunkai.
He was afraid, afraid to see the disappointment in Ji Yunkai's eyes.
He had sworn before that no one in Tianqi dared to mess with him, Zhao Chenhe, and no one dared to touch his Zhao Chenhe's business, but what about now?
Reality slapped him hard.
Ji Yun felt happy and depressed. He took a deep breath before suppressing the irritability in his heart and asked: "What did the emperor say?"
"The emperor asked me to report to the government and let the government find the murderer." In other words, the court will not stand up for them, at least not openly.
Of course, this cannot be blamed on the Emperor. They have no evidence. How can the Emperor seek an explanation for them?
"There is no trace or any evidence at the scene?" If this were not the case, the emperor would not ignore it.
Even if there is a trace left, the emperor will intervene to extract some benefits.
"The mountain outside the city collapsed last night, and the fire burned the mountain. It has not been extinguished yet. I heard that there was no trace of man-made damage. It should be a natural disaster, and the same is true for Liulifang." They are obviously two unrelated things, but they are not.
Someone linked them together, so that people didn't even have the position to testify.
There were two fires inside and outside the city. The people of Yanbei Palace insisted that the fire outside the city was an accident. So, the fire inside the city, without any evidence, was naturally an accident.
"Xiao Jiu'an took action?" Ji Yunkai guessed Xiao Jiu'an's motive for wanting those explosives, but he did not expect that Xiao Jiu'an would take action so quickly and let others seize the opportunity.
"Well, those people are just taking advantage of things outside the city to shirk the responsibility. In order to avoid causing trouble, the government will insist that it is an accident even if it cannot be proven that it was man-made." It is better to do less than to do more. There is insufficient evidence.
, as long as the government insists that it was an accident, there will be no need to find the murderer.
If it is said that this is man-made, the government will have to look for evidence and find the murderer. If the murderer and evidence cannot be found, the government will be blamed for incompetence.
It is better to do less than to do more, to do nothing, not to cause trouble, and to smooth things over if they can. This is the way of being an official. Even if he is Prince Duan, the old officials in the officialdom will not betray his face.
This will get you into trouble, and it will be thankless in the end.
"So, we can only suffer this loss?" Then hundreds of people died in vain?
"The other party did it so cleanly." Prince Duan finally opened his eyes, and his bloodshot eyeballs were filled with a layer of moisture, which softened the bloodshot eyes... (To be continued)
