It is very hot in July.
The flames lit up half of the sky in the capital. People were running and shouting near the flames, but no one dared to come near.
At dawn on the third day, it was raining heavily and a black horse was leading the way, galloping on the streets that had not yet been lifted.
Behind him was a team of twelve men on horseback, wearing armor and riding fine horses, following closely in two rows.
"Who dares to do this? Get off your horse immediately." The soldiers patrolling the city drew their swords to stop them.
There was a flash of whip, and the long swords in the hands of the two soldiers were blown away.
"Get out." A low shout, the voice was hoarse and dark, but it struck people's hearts like the sound of metal.
At this moment, a gust of wind happened to blow, lifting the hood of the man on the horse's cloak, and a handsome face came into everyone's sight.
"General Yan." The leading soldier was shocked and quickly knelt on one knee and bowed.
The visitor ignored him and rode away on his horse.
The mount under Yan Gui's crotch is a fine horse given by the emperor. He loves it as if it were his life. Not to mention beating it, even if his beloved generals want to touch it, it is impossible.
At this moment Yan Gui didn't care and whipped the horse's buttocks. The horse's four hooves flew and ran towards the place where the fire had been.
"Girl, wait for me..."
The fire that burned for three days and nights was exactly the Su Mansion, which had been showing its prominence and prominence in recent years.
There are three unique features of Suguogong Mansion:
The unique feature of the palace is that the scenery is so picturesque that it is incomparable to any other palace in Beijing.
Second, there are many talented people in the mansion, and all the descendants are talented.
Third, the daughters in the mansion are beautiful and all have stunning looks.
The current Duke of the Duke's Mansion, Lord Su, has one wife and two concubines. He has six sons, three daughters, twelve grandsons and nine granddaughters.
The eldest daughter, Su Junyao: married into the royal family, became the queen, and had a son who was named the crown prince just after he turned one year old. He is now twelve years old.
Su Linlang, the second daughter of a concubine: married into the Prime Minister's residence, was the third son of the emperor, and had one son and one daughter.
Su Weiyang, the youngest daughter: She is in her teens, kept in the boudoir and unknown to the world, but only heard that she is more beautiful than her two elder sisters.
The emperor's heart was unfathomable. No one could have imagined that everything would change drastically overnight.
Su Junyao was banished to the cold palace, and her eldest son, the current Crown Prince Zhao Xu, was banished from the capital and sent to a wild place.
The entire Su family was executed, the men were beheaded immediately, and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi.
The imperial edict had just left the palace when the Su family had already received the secret letter.
Duke Su dismissed all the servants and had no time to send his children off, but he could not bear to see the women in his family enter the music school and suffer the filth.
They all gathered in the courtyard, where a white silk thread was hung under the eaves.
When the eunuch arrived with the imperial edict, all they saw was a sheet of white silk under the eaves of the Su family's house, and the corpses of the women were like wind chimes, with their skirts fluttering in the wind.
Before the eunuch who delivered the order could call people to identify it carefully, a fire dragon was seen rushing out from the backyard. In an instant, the whole yard was filled with flames and heat waves, and everyone hurriedly retreated.
The fire quickly spread throughout the house, and amid the crackling sounds, it illuminated half the sky red.
The amazing thing about the fire was that it only burned along the carved railings and columns of the central courtyard corridor, without harming the neighbors.
The heat wave hit them, and the eunuch who was delivering the imperial edict turned pale, with big beads of sweat rolling down his cheeks. He trembled and shouted, "The fire is breaking, hurry up and help!"
The fire burned for three days and three nights without being extinguished. On the third day and night, a heavy rain poured down, extinguishing the sporadic flames and Yan Gui's heart.
The once prosperous and beautiful Su Mansion now contains charred corpses and collapsed ruins.
Yan Gui rode at the top of his lungs and rushed to the gate of the Su Mansion, looking at the Su Mansion under the sporadic lights of fire in front of him.
"Weiyang..."
With a shout, Yan Gui, whose old wound had not yet healed, spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards from his mount. He was hurriedly caught by the guards who were following closely behind him.
A charming figure emerged in his mind, with her buns hanging down, wearing a pink dress, she smiled at him with her lips pursed, and called him coquettishly:
Little uncle.
So beautiful and charming.
