This old fox is more difficult and ruthless than imagined.
She looked at the ruins, and the light in her eyes grew colder.
Xiao Heng asked them first: "How is it? Did you follow the person?"
They had already reached an agreement with Madam Yuan to ask her to do them a favor. They had already expected that the reason why Mr. Yuan was so confident must be because of Wei Desheng.
Since Lord Yuan's family is now in the prefectural government, Wei Desheng has to rescue his brother-in-law's family first. But of course, they can't hand Lord Yuan over, so he wants to spread the word and let Wei Desheng and others rescue Madam Yuan.
But just as the plan was finalized, the fire broke out.
When Su Rong led his men to the woodshed, the other party took advantage of the fire, when it was difficult to identify the direction, and left with Mrs. Yuan.
Mrs. Yuan didn't know whether she could deal with it successfully. After all, they had told Mrs. Yuan that she would leave marks along the way, but they had searched many places but still could not find any traces of Mrs. Yuan.
Su Rong shook his head, looking a little grim: "Zhaotong is now loose on the outside but tight on the inside. Since the prince brought people here, the defense of the city gate has been taken over by our people. If there are suspicious behaviors or a large group of people entering the city, it is impossible to escape our eyes, unless..."
He didn't say anything else, but everyone present already knew what he was going to say.
Unless Wei Desheng had already deployed people in the city.
Or, after a cleansing, there are still his people in the city.
More likely, it's both.
Thinking of this, Su Yao raised his eyebrows: "First he set the fire, then he rescued Madam Yuan..."
So they won't stop there, will they
If Mrs. Yuan replied to Wei Desheng as agreed, Wei Desheng would definitely believe that Mr. Yuan was not dead.
As long as Lord Yuan is not dead, Wei Desheng will always come to save him.
Su Yao thought of this, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Heng, frowned and looked very puzzled for a moment.
Since Wei Desheng dared to set fire, it means he is not afraid.
But where does he get the confidence to not be afraid? What does he rely on
Su Yao was puzzled and felt a little anxious.
Xiao Heng seemed to understand something and was about to speak, but Cui Daru had already hurried over.
When the fire broke out, Cui Daru was in the study room in the front yard, so he was quickly escorted out by the guards and was not injured. Now it seems that Cui Daru is indeed strong and healthy. He hurriedly walked up to Xiao Heng and others and asked solemnly: "Your Highness, the prefectural government office was burned down. I wonder where to move to now?"
Not knowing why Cui Daru asked this question as soon as he opened his mouth, Xiao Heng was stunned for a moment before looking at Cui Daru.
Cui Daru raised his eyebrows and said, "With so many people, we must find a new place to stay. Your Highness, please order us to requisition the merchant's mansion as your place of stay."
His tone was so firm that everyone was stunned for a moment before they came to their senses and looked at him in shock.
But this shock only lasted for a moment.
Xiao Heng immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Three-nine!"
Sanjiu had been waiting there earnestly. Upon hearing what was said, he loudly agreed and ran over.
"Go tell Chu Yongcheng to clean up his house. I want to stay at Chu's house temporarily. Chu's house is the nearest place for meetings with officials." Seeing Sanjiu blinking and leaving, Xiao Heng also smiled slightly.
The fact that the prefectural government office caught fire was no small matter, mainly because the fire burned for a whole day and night and the noise of the fire-fighting was so great that almost half of the city was alarmed. Everyone knew that there was a fire in the prefectural government office and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was almost burned to death in it. Everyone was curious as to what should be done with His Royal Highness after such a huge fire.
There is a lot of discussion outside
"The most talked about thing is that the Crown Prince is incompetent and furious, which is why God is angry and sent down this fire as a warning." The attendant reported the news he got from outside to Wei Desheng, with an unconcealed smug tone: "Sir, we set this fire at the right time. Our people believe in God the most. Now that God has sent down a punishment from heaven, I think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be unpopular."
This fire was a good one.
Many imperial envoys’ guards and civilians were burned to death, and the incident was so drastic.
Nowadays, the hot topic in the city is that the Crown Prince has brought disaster upon himself.
Not only were the people in a panic, but even the officials had to weigh the weight of the Crown Prince. He couldn't even defend his own place, so how could he expect to conquer Yunnan
Wei Desheng's mood also improved instantly. He hummed lightly and said with a fake smile: "This is just the beginning. Have you found out?"
He was asking if anyone had found out the whereabouts of Lord Yuan.
The Lotus Garden that Mrs. Yuan mentioned before, but now I'm afraid it has been burned down, so it is naturally useless.
The attendant scratched his head and said, "No, because there was a fire, the precautions there were stricter, so it was not easy to find out, but they requisitioned the Chu family."
Since there was no place to live in the prefectural yamen, naturally we had to find a place to live.
That is to say, wherever they are, Lord Yuan will naturally be there too. After all, they are waiting to force something out of Lord Yuan's mouth.
Wei Desheng closed his eyes and said, "Remind those people that this is the best opportunity. Tell them that if they miss this God-given opportunity, no one will help them again."
Xiao Heng is the imperial envoy sent by the court to subdue the natives, and Mu Tong is now a traitor not recognized by the court. The two sides are hostile to each other. This opportunity is given to Mu Tong, and he would be a fool if he doesn't seize it.
Wei Desheng has nothing to worry about now.
His connections in the capital might have been exposed, so he could only seize every opportunity before the court issued an edict to punish him. As long as he could handle this matter well, he would not be afraid of being punished by the court. Once he went out to sea, he would start a new life.
The messenger returned soon.
The beginners are busy as hell.
Because His Highness was going to move in, everyone in the Chu family was in a panic, especially Master Chu. He thought his family was doomed at first, after all, his cheap son-in-law was actually planning a rebellion!
But who would have known that His Highness did not do anything to them in the end, and not only that, he even wanted to live in their mansion.
Master Chu regretted that there was nothing he could do to help, so after hearing the news, he had people clean up everything from top to bottom, fearing that he had failed to entertain the guests well and that there were not enough people at home. He also specially hired many long-term workers to come to his house to help buy some flowers, plants and trees, striving to make everything perfect.
The Chu family was bustling with activity.
At the same time, the Chu family specially tidied up several courtyards with extra care.
