Because his daughter was disobedient, and because he was too busy, Cheng Wujie saw that his daughter was exempted from morning and dusk, and until it was dark, he didn't know that his daughter was gone.

After dark, in order to make ironclad evidence that he didn't know, he took the initiative to watch Lu Zhengqi in Tianzhang Pavilion for the night and let him go back to rest.

Although Lu Zhengqi was surprised, he still happily went home to accompany his wife and children. As soon as he left the palace, he was intercepted by King He, saying that he had something important to discuss with him, and invited him to an elegant restaurant on Changning Street.

King He is also very depressed now, he was on the side of the eldest prince, after the eldest prince fell, he bet on the second prince, at the end of last year, the seventh prince and the second prince seized the crown prince, he listened to the analysis of Chen Zumo and others, and firmly stood on the side of the second prince, even if Emperor Jianlong named the seventh prince as the crown prince, he still felt that Chen Zumo was reasonable, Emperor Jianlong would still pass the throne to the second prince after a hundred years, so he did not surrender to the seventh prince.

Behold! Emperor Jianlong really passed the throne to the Seven Princes! King He, who didn't say anything, was really angry and vomited blood! Why can't he support which prince and which prince he supports?

After scolding Chen Zumo, King He was anxious to plan for the future, and wanted to fight for the opportunity to show his face in front of the new emperor as soon as possible and be promoted to an official position.

After all the calculations, it is safest to find Lu Zhengqi.

Lu Zhengqi was able to enter the cabinet at a young age as a secretary, of course, he was not a fool, and of course he would not give King He any guarantee at this time.

When the two of them were changing glasses and eating wine, they suddenly heard a commotion, and the window paper became brighter.

"It's out of the water!" Lu Zhengqi immediately got up and pushed the window to look out, Jing Zhaoyin went out of Beijing to the northwest on an errand, Lu Zhengqi was also on an errand for Jing Zhaofu to walk, there was a fire here, and he was duty-bound!

"It seems to be looking in the direction of the belvedere or the cotton mill!" He Wang also walked to the window, his face solemn.

The viewing building is built by the king, and the cotton mill is Chen Xiaonuan's, and it is not easy to do anything in these two places! Lu Zhengqi walked downstairs quickly, lifted his robe and ran towards the firelight.

When he found out that it was the observation tower that caught fire, Lu Zhengqi was actually relieved, and secretly said that fortunately it was not Chen Xiaonuan's shop. Otherwise, she went to Jingzhao Mansion with a big belly to complain, and it would have to be him Lu Zhengqi who took the complaint.

The princess of the Sheng family, he can't afford to mess with him.

"Quick, hurry up and open the gong, arrange someone to get water to extinguish the fire!" Lu Zhengqi shouted orders to his servants, and he himself rushed towards the firelight.

When he got close and heard the exclamation and crying from inside the building, Lu Zhengqi shouted again, "Hurry up and save people!" ”

The fire is raging, and there are not hundreds of people eating in the building, but there are dozens, how to save them? The onlookers brought buckets of water from their homes and splashed them, a drop in the bucket!

Watching the flames spread upward, everyone's hearts were cold.

In the observation building, the killers sent by Cheng Wujie fought with the nursing home of the restaurant, these killers came with the intention of death, only killed but not guarded, and the guests, stewards and miscellaneous servants in the building were all dead everywhere.

When Lu Zhengqi saw such a scene, he immediately knew that this was a premeditated arson killing!

Lu Zhengqi immediately ordered people to transfer people again, and ordered the person holding the basin to beat it hard, shouting "The officers and soldiers are coming, stop quickly" and other words that broke the thief's will.

At this moment, the dead soldier who killed several shopkeepers on the third floor saw Lu Zhengqi, who was directing everyone to fight the fire outside the firelight, and without saying a word, a dagger flew out and went straight to Lu Zhengqi's chest!

Lu Zhengqi is a Wenchen who doesn't know how to do kung fu, and when he saw the dagger flying towards him, it was too late to hide. Just when he was desperate, a copper basin suddenly appeared in front of him, blocked the dagger with a "dang" sound, and threw him behind him.

Lu Zhengqi looked up and saw that it was King Sheng, and tears were about to fall, "Lord Wang!" ”

"Immediately lead people to evacuate the crowd of onlookers and reduce innocent casualties." The third master spoke, and the sword was thrown into the sea of fire.

When Lu Zhengqi saw King Sheng entering, he only felt that his heart was at ease, and he immediately retreated with the help of the people. The guards of the Jianwang Mansion, the patrol officers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and the officials of the Changning Street Street Division rushed in batches, and escorted groups of people to escape.

When there was no shouting and killing inside, Lu Zhengqi ordered people to surround the observation tower, he stepped on the broken bricks and broken wood that were still smoking, and walked in, and saw the corpses lying on the inside of the observation tower, and his heart was cold.

The last time I saw such a scene was when Princess Sheng was kidnapped by Chai Yanting. That time it was blood all over the wall, and this time because it was a fire that had not been completely extinguished at night, there was no blood in sight, and King Sheng, who was standing in the courtyard in white filial piety, and Chai Fang, the prince of King Jian, was particularly conspicuous.

Lu Zhengqi stepped forward and saluted, "Lord, prince, can you catch it alive?" ”

Chai Fang was so angry that he burst into a foul mouth, "It's all dead!" No matter who did it, the master will never spare him! ”

Lu Zhengqi nodded, "Shizi, let the lower officials check the scene and count the casualties?" ”

"There's Lord Laulu." Chai Fang bowed his hand to the third brother again, "Thank you for your help." ”

Lu Zhengqi also hurriedly said, "The prince's life-saving grace, the lower officials can't repay it......

The third master didn't want to hear him continue, "Go and do things." ”

"Yes." Lu Zhengqi immediately responded, and led people to count the corpses and check the cause of the fire.

Chai Fang asked in a low voice, "Third brother, in your opinion, who did it?" ”

The third master pointed to a gray-clothed man on the ground, "This person is the guard of King Yi's Mansion." ”

Chai Fang's eyes flashed with a ghostly light, "Who planted the blame for the second brother?" ”

The third master shook his head slowly, and at this time, King Jian also came. Seeing this miserable scene, King Jian's face was as black as carbon, he first thanked King Sheng, and then said in a low voice, "You first change your clothes and enter the palace to accompany the spirit." ”

Emperor Jianlong will enter the imperial mausoleum the day after tomorrow, and the princes must stay in Yishou Palace for these two nights to fulfill their filial piety.

The third master nodded, "Uncle Wang, after counting the number of people, we must track down the whereabouts of those who are not dead but are missing as soon as possible." ”

King Jian and King Sheng thought of one place, and this killing should be related to the visit of Yan Jing after today, "I understand, be careful of Cheng Wujie." ”

The third master understood, "Uncle Wang, don't act rashly. ”

The third master can also guess that the one who can hire a murderer at this time is Cheng Wujie. He did this, firstly, to extinguish his mouth, and secondly, to scare Chai Yanjing and prevent him from secretly leaving the palace again.

When passing by Tianzhang Pavilion, the third master stopped and looked at Cheng Wujie, who was dealing with the excerpts in the pavilion.

Such cruel methods of treating human life like a mustard, disturbing people's hearts, and ignoring the overall situation made the third master angry. After Emperor Jianlong is buried and the war in the northwest is settled, he must let Cheng Wujie's head fall to the ground!

The third master followed the little eunuch to Yishou Palace, and saw the little eunuch of Yongfu Palace crawling to the edge of Zigong Palace, kneeling in front of the second prince, "Lord, the queen mother vomited blood and fell into a coma." ”

"Third brother, I'll leave it to you here." The second prince immediately got up and walked out.

Before the third master had time to tell the second brother about the observation tower, he lifted his robe and knelt in the hall, closing his eyes.

The fourth brother next to him, Yan Jing, sniffed and sniffed on the third brother's body with his nose that was smarter than a dog, and suddenly asked, "The third brother smells of blood!" ”
