Chapter 182: The Black Hands Behind the Scenes Surface
Half an hour was enough for all the people who participated in the firefighting to understand who caused the fire, and when they saw the prince and the others again, their eyes were not friendly, and a few grumpy young people already faintly rushed upward.
"The big guys are all gone, it's been tossing for so long in the middle of the night!" the old man walked two steps quickly, walked through the crowd, waved his hand at the big guys, and said loudly.
Although the group of people surrounding the small courtyard were still a little unhappy, they all scattered to give the old man face.
The crown prince, the fourth master, the thirteenth master and the others looked at the scattered crowd, secretly sighed, and arched their hands to the old man with a black face, "This time I really caused trouble to the villagers!"
"Forget it, no one wants to do this, you all help to put out the fire, just be careful in the future!" the old man waved his hand, tore off the wet handkerchief around his neck, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said loudly.
The prince nodded slightly, and was about to say something, when he saw Ural next to him who wanted to speak, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, and he warmly invited the old man into the wing room to sit and talk.
The old man was still a little suspicious at first, after all, the big guys were not very familiar with it, but he didn't know what he thought, so he nodded and followed the prince and a few others to the east wing, which was still complete, and Su Peisheng also prepared a pot of hot tea and a little sugar cube with a bright eye, these things were still collected by Su Peisheng when the fourth master set off, and it was also to prevent the fourth master from being in time to eat on the way and get low blood sugar or something, but I didn't expect it to be placed on the table to entertain guests at this time, which shows how miserable their life is now.
The fourth master had just run around the fire several times, and his lungs were still very uncomfortable at this time, seeing that the prince wanted to say something to the old man, he glanced at the prince, and walked to the west wing opposite.
As soon as he entered the door, the fourth master saw that the imperial doctor was administering needles to Kangxi, and his steps couldn't help but lighten a little, and he stood quietly aside, quietly watching Imperial Doctor Hu take back the silver needles and other things into the medicine box, and then came to the side of the kang, looking at Kangxi Ye, whose face was still ugly, and asked softly with some worry: "Imperial Doctor Hu, Huang Ama was not injured by the fire, why hasn't he woken up yet!"
"Back to the fourth master's words, the emperor has been tired these days, and it seems that he has touched the condensing incense used for sleeping, so he hasn't woken up, and he is asleep at this time, the fourth master doesn't have to worry!" Imperial Doctor Hu smiled and took out a box of external wound medicine from the medicine box, sent it to the fourth master, and said softly.
The fourth master looked at the porcelain vase in his hand with some incomprehension, Imperial Doctor Hu shook his head and smiled, and pointed to the fourth master's exposed half of his arm, "Look at the fourth master, this is burned by fire, it should have been dealt with earlier!"
"There is Imperial Doctor Lao Hu, please also take a look at Grandpa Liang!" The fourth master showed a smile, pointed to Liang Jiugong, who was asleep outside, and said softly.
Imperial Doctor Hu followed the eyes of the fourth master, looked at Liang Jiugong, who was sleeping with his neck and legs shrunk outside, nodded slightly, and walked outside with the medicine box on his back, leaving the fourth master and Kangxi Ye to rest in the west wing.
The fourth master tore off the disrespectful middle coat on his body, looked at the bloody right arm, couldn't help but snort softly, and at a glance he saw the washing stand in the corner of the wall, his expression was slightly relaxed, he took the wet handkerchief and carefully wiped the wound on his arm, but he didn't pay attention but tore the wound on his back.
"Be careful!" Kangxi, who was still asleep, said softly, took the handkerchief held by the fourth master in his left hand, and wiped the scabbed wound on the fourth master's back.
"Huang Ama, ...... you" The fourth master grew his mouth in surprise and whispered.
Kangxi Ye patted the fourth master on the shoulder, and said in a slightly hoarse and tired voice: "Sit well, the injury on your back is much stricter than the one in front!"
As he spoke, Kangxi Ye had already dealt with the dirt on the wound of the fourth master quickly, took the porcelain bottle next to him, sprinkled the medicine powder on the wound, and tied the bandage left by Imperial Doctor Hu to the fourth master, and then stuffed the medicine bottle into the fourth master's hand.
"If this wound is not treated well at this time, I am afraid that there will be scars, but it is okay, the man should have some scars, which is more manly!"
Kangxi Ye seemed to be comforting the fourth master and said a cold joke, but he didn't expect the fourth master to react, but he laughed, but maybe because he breathed smoke and dust in the fire, and then coughed.
"Huang Ama, if you are uncomfortable, Erchen will go and call Imperial Doctor Hu. The fourth master stood up a little anxiously and asked repeatedly.
"It's okay, I just feel a little itchy in my throat!" Kangxi Ye hurriedly grabbed the fourth master's arm and said with a smile, "The weather is still cold at this time, even if you are in a hurry to go out, you should wear some clothes!"
"......" The fourth master looked at himself shirtless, bowed his head a little embarrassed and said, "Huang Ama, you rest first, and then the second brother and the thirteenth brother will go to sue the second brother and the thirteenth brother!"
Saying that, the fourth master didn't care whether Kangxi Ye agreed or not, put on the tattered and tattered middle coat, hurriedly rushed out of the room, and rushed to the second brother and thirteenth brother who were talking to the local old man in the east wing opposite.
As soon as he walked into the room, the fourth master was stunned, only to see that the prince and Ural, and even the thirteenth master, who had never done anything right, were all serious with a stern face, and his steps were paused, and he said a little dryly, "Ama is awake", and then exited the room a little crampedly, and pulled past Su Peisheng, who was waiting beside him.
"Prince, what's wrong with them?" The fourth master casually asked Su Peisheng while putting on his robe.
Su Peisheng lowered his body, looked at the few guards who were busy outside, and whispered about what happened in the east wing just now.
It turned out that the old man who organized the firefighting before was surnamed Huang, and he was the village chief of the Huangshan store, and this yard that burned so hard that he couldn't see the original appearance was the new house prepared by Huang Laohan for his youngest son, but this Huang boy was a capable person, and he studied in the school at the head of the village for a few years, so he went to the city to work, but he didn't expect that two years later, he actually got the appreciation of the shopkeeper of the part-time pharmacy, and accepted him as a disciple, and it seems that he is going to stay in the city forever.
Huang Laohan thought that the courtyard was empty and empty, and when he was worried about what to do with it, an old couple came to the village and wanted to buy the old man's newly built yard that had not been built for two years, and also rented an empty courtyard at the back.
Huangshandian is an inconspicuous village, Huang Laohan didn't think that someone would do bad things, so he directly made the decision to sell the title deed and house deed to the family, and the family didn't urge to go to the county government to transfer the house, so they moved directly into the yard at the back, and bought a lot of things to clean up the original Huang Laohan's yard.
In addition, Ural also asked about a group of people who had come here to spend the night a few days ago, and judging by their dress and demeanor, they looked like businessmen from other places, and their accents looked like they came from the north.
The fourth master fastened his belt, his head was running rapidly, and he soon studied a particularly reliable guess. It seems that the whereabouts of their group this time really fell in the eyes of others, and before the arrival of the group, such a play was specially arranged.
The fourth master changed his robe, and the prince and the thirteenth master had already sent Huang Laohan out, and several people returned to the West Wing to see Kangxi again.
As soon as the prince entered the door, he rushed to Kangxi, looked at Kangxi's appearance, took a deep breath, repeated what Huang Laohan said before, and stood quietly next to him, waiting for Kangxi's orders.
"I know this, you have all been busy for a long time, let's all go down and rest, it's good that there are Ural waiting here!"
Although the crown prince and the fourth and thirteenth masters still wanted to say something, the emperor and the old man had already issued an order to expel the guests, and they had to go out a little reluctantly, and returned to the east wing to discuss countermeasures.
"Fourth, you tell the truth to the second brother, why did you wake up suddenly!" the prince asked as if he had some meaning.
The fourth master has long known that there will be such a question, who made everyone else fall asleep, only he woke up suddenly, and he became a hero who saved people.
"Second brother, I don't know what's going on!" the fourth master shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said softly, "If I were to say it, I think it should be the burned wooden window that overwhelmed my arm, so I could wake up suddenly!"
"Fourth, don't blame the second brother for doubting you, this is really ridiculous, how could the whereabouts of our group fall into the eyes of others in advance, and it can be so well calculated for us, speaking of which, this time it is thanks to you that you woke up suddenly, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable......" The prince sighed and said in a deep voice.
The Thirteenth Master, who was sitting next to him for a while, suddenly his eyes lit up, he looked out a little guardedly, and said in a low voice: "Second brother, fourth brother, I just looked at Huang Ama's reaction a little strange, do you think Huang Ama already knows who did it!"
As the saying goes, the bystander is clear, this time the old thirteen, who is not as good as the prince and the fourth master who can't get out of the puzzle, did say the right thing, but often the facts always make people unwilling to believe it, such as the prince and the fourth master.
The sorrow of everyone in the east wing is a different scene in the west wing.
Kangxi Ye was still sitting on the kang, wearing a dark blue robe with black edges, a string of tourmaline beads in his hand, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he sighed in a low voice: "I don't know what to do this time!"
"Your Majesty......" Ural asked confusedly.
"When I left the guard of honor a few days ago, I once sent a secret fold to Beijing. I was worried that the people in Beijing would be uneasy and afraid of heresy, so I handed over this errand of temporary supervision of the country to the eldest brother Zhijun Wang who was in Beijing, but now that this has happened, I really can't help but not suspect him!" Kangxi Ye pinched his somewhat swollen eyebrows and said in a low voice.
Ural's face changed, his mouth grew in disbelief, and he said a little vaguely: "What does the emperor mean by the person who arranged it in Beijing?"
Kangxi Ye took a deep breath and did not answer Ural's question, but slowly got up and came to the window, looked at the brothers who were still sitting together in the east wing opposite to discuss this matter, turned back stiffly and said: "I'm not worried that the eldest brother will do something wrong, but what I'm worried about is Mingzhu." Over the years, Suo Etu has become more and more anxious, and has repeatedly made mistakes, and I have detained him in the mansion, but it has made Mingzhu's power bigger and bigger, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have other thoughts!"
"Then what does the emperor want to do with this matter!" Ural said in a low voice.
"Take this as an accident, you can also go over there and tell the prince to tell them, so that they don't have trouble sleeping when they are worried!" Kangxi Ye pointed to the photos of the brothers who could be seen faintly on the opposite side, and said in a deep voice.
Ural swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and then retreated outside, according to Kangxi's instructions, came to the east wing, told the three masters of Kangxi's decision, and hurriedly left the east wing, and walked to the guards who were resting in the courtyard.
This night seems to have passed uneventfully, the fourth master and the prince have their own hearts and minds, only the thirteenth master who has not yet mixed into the camp of the Kowloon heir, sleeps exceptionally peacefully, and the corners of his mouth are faintly hooked, I am afraid that he thinks of the side Fujin Guerjia clan who is in the house, and also remembers that he is about to become an Amma!
..................
Early the next morning, Kangxi Ye ordered to send some silver to several families involved in the fire last night as compensation, and asked Ural to go to the village chief to ask the village chief about the appearance of a family who came here to buy a yard a few days ago and the appearance of the people who came to stay overnight, but these things were carried out in the dark, and even the prince, the fourth master, and the thirteenth master did not know.
Several families affected by the fire received compensation, and even those who fought the fire received a tael of silver for their labor fees, which made the original ugly face of the big guy extremely kind.
The person next door who was the most severely affected by the disaster even sent hot millet porridge and corn tortillas, saying that their kitchen had already burned down, and they couldn't go hungry on the road, so they specially asked them to fill their stomachs.
It's just that Kangxi Ye and others, who had experienced a sudden fire, have raised their vigilance, although they left behind the things sent by the family, but several masters did not eat them, but gnawed hard cakes, ate dry dried meat and other things, and hurried on the road.
Huangshan store in Changqing County is less than 100 miles away from Mount Tai, and a group of people are riding fast horses, but two hours, the guard of honor stationed at the foot of Mount Tai has entered the eyes of everyone, so that everyone is relieved, and the whip and fast horse are approaching the camp.
One of the ministers on the other side of the tent was Urahai, the younger brother of Ural, and he was turning around outside, when he saw a team of fast horses running in the distance, and hurriedly ordered people to hurry over to meet him.
Kangxi Ye sat on horseback, looked at the horse team that was getting closer and closer, slightly tidied up the robes on his body, and crossed the horses of the prince and others with a smile on his face, and came to the front. R1152
