The fire in Li's house lasted until dawn.
Early in the morning of the second day, Rong Leng went to Li's Mansion as scheduled, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw a large number of guards outside the courtyard, some in a hurry, some whispering to each other, everyone seemed very busy.
After entering the main courtyard, this situation became more and more obvious, and outside the main hall where Qian Mengyao was, the two or three guard leaders who would always stand on weekdays were no longer visible.
Rong Leng knew that last night's plan should have been successful, he went in with a calm expression, and saw Qian Mengyao who was having breakfast in the hall.
Probably because he was in a good mood, Qian Mengyao ate a lot, and when he saw Rong Leng come, he invited him to eat with him.
Rong Leng said that he had eaten it at home, and showed off without any trace: "Liu Wei said that it has been cold these two days, so he cooked ginseng porridge for me."
Qian Mengyao was still enjoying his meal, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks when he heard the words, and stared at Rong Leng with his head tilted: "Will Brother Rong die if he doesn't mention his wife for a day?"
Rong Leng didn't raise his eyelids, and didn't respond at all, so he sat on the armchair next to him.
After Qian Mengyao finished eating, Yue Dansheng also came over there. The three of them looked at the busy scene outside the hall, and Yue Dansheng asked, "Can the news come before tonight?"
Qian Mengyao reckoned: "It should be, I must calm my anger."
A fire broke out in the place where he lived, the fire was huge, and almost killed people, King Ru Jiang was furious, and ordered the guards to investigate overnight, but the night passed, but nothing was found.
While feeling restless, the guards who were in Cao Ying and their hearts were in Han could no longer control who set the fire. They only knew that King Rujiang was using the issue this time.
This was obviously just an accident, but he just wanted to turn a small matter into a big one. It wasn't that he was just looking for trouble, but he did it on purpose to find bad luck for the three masters in Beijing.
At this time, if these three forces do not want to tear themselves apart with King Ru Jiang, they must do something to restore the relationship.
Qian Mengyao specifically mentioned the king of a country last night, obviously in the process of selection, and put this shit pot on the head of the emperor's power, so now, although the three powers are all
Anxious, but the most anxious one is the emperor's part.
There are three reasons why Qian Mengyao has done so much. First, to make the emperor care about his relationship and give up intervening in the Wanli case. Second, to give the emperor a disgrace and tell him that he is not so
It's easy to bully, three, show it to people from the other two forces, and tell others that he, Qian Mengyao, is not a cabbage.
Killing three birds with one stone, if he succeeds, it will be regarded as laying some favorable foundations for him to return to Beijing later.
As for whether it was successful or not, the news should be received before tonight.
The ransacking of the Su family's house was done by Qian Mengyao. Afterwards, he bought the Su family's old house, but when he resold it to someone else, he was bought by Qin Yuanchuan from Wan Lizhu's sect.
Qin Yuanchuan was a pawn who ran errands for Wan Li, but Wan Li, the dog who smelled the scent, was doing business for the emperor.
Qian Mengyao could almost guess that the matter of the Su family, before and after, perhaps many years ago, the emperor had investigated more clearly than he, the client.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the matter of the Su family is a trivial matter, and there have been no disturbances in the past so many years. To Qian Mengyao, it has nothing to do with it.
After a while, I found that it was of no value, so I threw it out of my mind.
But it was such a trivial matter that Qian Mengyao knew that the emperor had investigated him many years ago, and he knew that the emperor had investigated him, and he had concealed it many times before.
Expressed in front of the guards.
This is the convenience of being watched by others. As long as he casually reveals what he wants to express, those who should know will know it naturally.
The previous incident was just an introduction, and the real time for it to erupt was this fire.
Qian Mengyao knew that the emperor didn't trust him, so he investigated him many years ago. He was not happy. During this period of time, he had been speaking harshly, and the guards were silent about it, but at this time
At this time, the mansion caught fire, but no one was injured, only Qian Mengyao was injured. In the face of life and death, the usually polite prince became agitated, lost his temper, and hit him.
Man, intending to tear his skin apart, he will never stop dying.
However, whether it is the emperor or the other two forces, they are all innocent, and none of them really wants to burn Qian Mengyao to death.
But Qian Mengyao didn't believe it, so he relied on them, especially the emperor, so he killed him, insisting that the emperor did it.
And at this time, if the emperor doesn't want to tear his face apart now, he has to compromise and coax the "victim" Qian Mengyao, even if he is not the "perpetrator", he has to be gentle
Speaking, reasoning with Qian Mengyao in a nice voice.
Did Qian Mengyao listen to him
No, he won't listen.
What if you don't listen? It can only be expressed in action.
That night, as Qian Mengyao expected, the head of the bodyguard who was beaten by him last night and is still swollen came over and kowtowed ten times, saying that the fire last night was really an accident
, but the guards on duty failed to rescue the prince in time, which is also a dereliction of duty, so he proposed that all on-duty personnel should be punished thirty times, and he himself was also on-duty last night
, he is the leader again, he voluntarily received double the punishment and fined his salary for half a year.
In fact, Qian Mengyao burned his elbow and bled a little. After getting Yue Dansheng to bandage it last night, he is mostly healed today, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But he didn't want to be kind, so after the leader of the guards proposed the punishment, he not only agreed, but also insisted: "The fine is fine, after the punishment, the person who brought you, go away."
The leader of the guard kowtowed again, but said nothing.
In fact, everyone is a sensible person, and the leader of the guards also knows that the reason for this incident is that King Rujiang didn't want them to follow him. He was a kind person before, because he knew that the emperor
After investigating him on the Internet, he quit, lost his temper, and found trouble for nothing. Now, they really can't stay. Fortunately, they also received news during the day today.
Drive them away, they don't need to struggle, they just go.
In this way, the leader of the guards didn't beg for mercy anymore, he received the punishment in a proper manner, and led the people away honestly.
Li's residence was still the same as before, but around Qian Mengyao, it was much cleaner.
One of the original three forces was driven away, and the other two, because of King Rujiang's "resistance" this time, did not dare to be too arrogant, and became cryptic and low-key.
While Qian Mengyao was feeling better, there was another news from Beijing.
It came from the inner palace, saying that someone saw that the great eunuch Wang Gonggong next to the emperor deleted the name of a concubine named "Baomeiren" from the list of cards that the emperor turned over every night.
According to an insider, that precious beauty is the young master sent to the palace by Tingjiang Prefecture last year.
No one knows who sent this news.
No one knows how a concubine would spread the news to Xijin County thousands of miles away if she was not lucky.
In short, after hearing this gossip, Zhuang Chang, the official in charge of Wanli's corruption, cover-up, and party formation, announced that three days later, he will officially open the court in Xijin county government office.
Trial Wan Li.
On the same day, Wan Ruxue, Wanli's daughter, will also be tried on the charges of mutilating common people and buying murder.
