The three men touched the edge of the urn city and confirmed that there were not many guards guarding the corpse. Among them, two men in black with no parcels drew their knives, shouted, and slashed out of the urn city.
Rong Chang said reassuringly: "If you let them burn the body, that would be great!"
Just as he was about to help the guards deal with the two men in black, suddenly there was a cannon on the tower, and the lights shone like daylight.
Looking up, I don't know when the city tower was full of soldiers, and groups of soldiers were also rushed out from all the alleys of the street, and the shouts shook the world. Rong Chang'an roughly estimated that there were no less than 2,000 soldiers participating.
The two men in black who ran out first were shocked and at a loss.
"Oops, I fell for it!"
"What should I do now!"
"What else can I do, take medicine and die, and be loyal to my master!"
The two each took out a pill from their pockets and were about to swallow it when the man in black who was hiding in the corner with a package flew out suddenly and threw the package in his hand into Li Ming's coffin outside the city gate. There was a loud bang, flames shot out, and the coffin was scraped and burned.
The incident happened suddenly, and the soldiers didn't react. They only waited for the fire to burn for a while before someone shouted loudly:
"Get water to put out the fire!"
"Move the coffin next to it!"
The fire spread to the ceiling and burned together, the flames soared into the sky, and the soldiers at Nanxunmen were in chaos.
The two besieged men in black took advantage of the chaos to escape from Nanxun Gate and left a mess to the soldiers guarding the city.
"No, they burned the corpse!" Rong Changan couldn't help but said. She thought to herself, why not just follow that man and see where he hides, and then go back and tell Yan Li that Yan Li will send troops over to take him down.
However, Rong Changan waited outside the hotel for a while, but there was no movement at all, and he couldn't help worrying: Could it be that that bitch Ziyan has already left with that man
Rong Changan didn't want to wait any longer, so he broke in through the door, only to see the owner of the hotel putting on his clothes and getting up to light the oil lamp. When he first saw Rong Changan with his face covered, he was startled, and the shit went out of his way.
"You... who are you?"
Rong Changan searched back and forth in the hotel, but he couldn't see the man and Zi Yan, so he was very angry.
The hotel owner yelled: "If you don't go out again, I will call officers and soldiers!"
With a whoosh, Rong Changan stretched out his hand and grabbed his throat: "Let me ask you, where are the two people in the hotel just now?"
"There are two people?" The hotel owner looked puzzled, "How could there be two people? I was sleeping in the room just now, and I woke up when the city gate caught fire."
From the dodgy eyes of the boss, Rong Changan knew that he was lying: "If you don't tell me, I will break your neck!"
The boss twisted his face because of fear: "I... I really didn't know there was anyone in the room. I locked the door of the shop tightly, how could someone come in!"
It was useless to ask further, suddenly, Rong Changan heard a creaking sound from behind, and cried in his heart: "No, they left through the back door!"
Rong Changan left the boss behind to chase her, but the boss took her by the hand: "You... are you a man or a woman? Why did you break into my shop? Don't leave, come with me to see the officer!"
Rong Chang'an suddenly turned his gloomy face back: "You think I'm afraid of going to see an official with you? Your store is full of filth, I can't wait to report to the official!"
The shop owner firmly grasped Rong Changan's hand: "Then let's go to see the official now!"
Rong Changan doesn't want to expose the place where Ziyan and that man contacted, she still has to rely on this hotel to get more information about Ziyan and that man.
Rong Changan also knew that the boss was deliberately delaying her time so that the people behind could escape. She gritted her teeth and gave the shopkeeper a slap on the neck. The shopkeeper groaned and fell to the ground with a plop.
Without touching the ground, Rong Changan came to the patio, from the patio to the backyard, the back door of the yard was open. Rong Changan walked through the back door, but it turned out to be a spacious street, the street was quiet, only the sound of the wind and shadows of trees, where did anyone pass by? It's empty, where is Rong Changan going to track down those people!
He clapped his hands together and sighed: "It's all the boss's fault for delaying me for a while, otherwise I would have caught up with that man and found out where he was staying. It's all right now, he didn't catch up and his body was burned by them Already!"
Rong Changan was furious. Suddenly, there was a fire on the front street, and a group of officers and soldiers were rushing to Nanxunmen. But knowing how meticulous Yan Lili is, he has arranged so many people near Nanxun Gate! It's a pity that the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city lacked the ability to adapt, and more than 2,000 people could even make the other party throw fire and burn the coffin.
Rong Changan was afraid of being discovered by the officers and soldiers, so he tiptoed and flew lightly up to the wall. I thought again, Ziyan must go back to the palace, why not I go to the Jiao Palace to wait and see what news she can reveal to me.
After making up his mind, he went back to the palace, went to the corner of the cornice of the Jiao Palace, and leaned over to wait for Ziyan to come back.
Not long after, footsteps sounded outside the Jiao Palace, Qingqing was lighting a lantern in front, and the other two maidservants followed behind Ziyan. Looking at Ziyan's dress, her hair full of pearls and emeralds, and her gorgeous clothes sweeping the floor, it doesn't look like she went to the folks to dress up.
Rong Changan twitched the corners of his mouth: "This bitch really changes, I don't know where to change clothes before coming back, and I don't know where she will arrange Qingqing and other servants to wait for her!"
A group of people walked in, Qingqing said: "Grand Concubine, where have you been all night, it caused us to wait for a long time in the back mountain."
Rong Chang said reassuringly: "It turned out that Ziyan arranged Qingqing and others in the back mountain, and then she went to see that man alone."
Snapped!
Rong Changan trembled suddenly, looked intently, and saw that Ziyan slapped Qingqing.
"Where am I going, is that what you should ask? Meddle in your own business! If I see you meddling again in the future, I will cut off your tongue!"
Qingqing looked aggrieved, and replied with tears: "The servant will not dare again in the future, and I hope the imperial concubine will calm down!"
The corner of Ziyan's mouth curled up into a sinister smile: "If I'm not happy today, I'll hit ten boards first!"
With a snort, he flicked his cold sleeves and walked into the bedroom.
Rong Chang'an thought that Ziyan's so-called happiness probably meant that she planned to burn the coffin to help the man keep the secret.
Not long after, Zi Yan turned off the lights and went to sleep, there was nothing to see.
Rong Changan resentful, jumped off the cornice, turned down the corner, and returned to his residence. He quietly opened the door, entered the room, and changed his clothes. At this time, Xiaoxiao was still snoring, probably because he was too busy during the day, so he could sleep until dawn.
Rong Changan was lying on the bed, unable to fall asleep for a long time. Do you want to tell Yan Li that the hotel is actually a den of thieves? It's best not to, otherwise you will startle the snake.
The next day, after Yan Li went to court early, he just heard about someone making a fuss at the Nanxun Gate last night. Knowing that Li Ming's body was destroyed by fire, he was so angry that he almost broke the case with a punch.
He arranged for more than 2,000 soldiers to ambush at the gate of Nanxun, and blocked the way at the entrance of each street, but he still let the person who burned the coffin escape!
"Has Eunuch Fan's body been burned?"
Eunuch Lu said: "Fortunately, the officers and soldiers moved Eunuch Fan's body in time, otherwise it would have been destroyed in the fire."
This can be regarded as luck among misfortunes! If it burned, how should he explain to "Xue'er"
"Send more people to protect Eunuch Fan's body, and nothing will happen again!"
Eunuch Lu: "Yes, the slave will let someone pass the message to the officers and soldiers of Nanxunmen!"
Yan Li sat slumped on the throne, resting his chin, thinking why the other party wanted to burn the coffin with fire
"Is this a demonstration against me?"
no! He was quick to respond, and while asking, he had already got the answer. They wanted to burn Li Ming beyond recognition so that no one else could recognize him.
What a vicious scheme, they are so quick-witted, they are almost on the same level as Yan Li, so it's no wonder that the thousands of Nanxunmen can't catch them.
