To ordinary people, it is obvious that Fang Jun sent people to set fire to frame those noble families;
From the perspective of smart people, this is actually the shouting of the aristocratic family members to catch the thief, and they are the ones who set the fire, but in a roundabout way, people think it was Fang Jun who set the fire;
In the eyes of extremely smart people, this is actually Fang Jun's trick, taking the circle one more time and making people doubt those wealthy families...
Liu Ji is confident that he is a very smart person in the eyes of outsiders, so everything in front of him is what the real mastermind behind the scenes wants him to see - thus identifying the person who set the fire as Fang Jun!
but……
Liu Ji felt that he was not a very smart person.
He feels that he is an extremely smart person, someone who can directly see the essence through phenomena!
In his opinion, this is the self-righteous trick played by thieves from aristocratic families who shout to catch thieves! He set a fire in his own home. Firstly, he avenged the last time he supported Fang Jun and opposed the family members. Secondly, it also made him angry and convinced that Fang Jun had come to his own home to set fire. He wanted to fight with him to death. in the end!
Mother!
Do you think that I can be wiped out by you, set fire to my house, and still have to be stupidly taken advantage of by you and run to confront Fang Jun?
Liu Ji glanced at the fire scene, turned around and left.
The old steward was stunned and asked quickly: "Master, we have to put out the fire..."
Liu Jie snorted angrily: "What to save? These are some idle houses. If Fangzheng can't burn anyone, just put them here and let them burn! I just want to show it to the entire Chang'an City, so I have to ride on it." Having poop on your neck is simply too much! It’s tolerable, but it’s unbearable!”
After saying that, he waved his hand and quickly returned to the study.
He grabbed the memorial to impeach Fang Jun that had just been written on the desk, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it out the window!
Then, without calling the maid, he started to grind the ink himself, enduring the anger boiling in his chest and abdomen, and started drafting the memorial again.
The more I write, the angrier I get!
Are you treating me like a monkey?
You want to borrow my knife to stab Fang Jun hard, but in the end you want to play a conspiracy and burn down your own house? This is simply unreasonable!
Liu Ji is indeed smart and capable, but his personality is a bit stubborn. No one can say what he is sure of, and he has to do it! He was sure that this was someone from aristocratic families who wanted to take the opportunity to burn him, so he blamed Fang Jun. This made him cooperate with them even more wholeheartedly, and he was probably repaying his support for Fang Jun and Fang Jun when his eldest son Sun Dan died. The grievances that the aristocratic family members fought against...
I do yearn for the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, but I am not completely without a bottom line. No matter how you round it up, flatten it or use it, you will still act like a monkey!
Liu Jie was on the "axis", that is, he dared to say anything and do anything. How could he bear this anger?
The memorial was completed in one go, and then Liu Jie began to write famous posts again, ordering his cronies in the government to send them to his censors and officials under him before the curfew...

The Dou family's residence is in Yongjiafang, facing north and south. To the south is the Xingqing Palace where Emperor Li Yuan was raised. Then across the Tianjie that runs from east to west, the east market is diagonally opposite to the southwest.
Xiao Yu and others had not yet left the Dou family. The Dou family prepared a light vegetarian meal, which was used in the courtyard by relatives and friends who came to express their condolences. It was already very close to the curfew time, but it didn't matter. The curfew was of no use to a high-ranking official in the court like Xiao Yu. Moreover, this time it was Marquis Wu who came to the Dou family to express his condolences and patrol the streets. Or open up the net.
The guests were not in a hurry to leave. They just drank tea and chatted in twos and threes in the courtyard.
It's just that Xiao Yu's mind is not here...
Regarding Fang Jun, Xiao Yu's consistent strategy is to never have a direct conflict, to win over Fang Jun if he can, and to fight secretly if he can. This son has a beautiful mind and outstanding abilities. He is really a rare talent. He can be regarded as a leader among the younger generation of the Tang Dynasty. As time goes by, he will be even better than today's Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and other famous figures at that time. let.
It would be great if such a person could be dusted off forever. It would be considered as cutting off one of the most powerful minions around the emperor, and the emperor's determination to weaken the family members would be greatly reduced.
But if he was beaten but not killed...
Then you will have to suffer extremely serious consequences.
The most feared thing about Fang Jun is not his ability and strategy. They are all old foxes who once dominated the country and now dominate the court. How could he be worse than Fang Jun? What they are afraid of is Fang Jun's unscrupulous "stick-and-stick" style!
This man has a bad temper. If anyone offends him, he will just get angry first without considering the consequences!
He dares to fight the prince, he dares to fight the minister, he dares to challenge the family members who own the interests of the entire Dongshi, not to mention that the Yuan family, which was originally a member of the Guanlong Group, was destroyed in one day and will be infamy for thousands of years...
This time the incident of provoking a gathering of vendors in the East Market was a bit hasty, and there was a lack of tacit understanding between all parties. No one knew whether there would be major oversights or omissions. It would be great if things come true. Ren Fangjun, with his three heads and six arms, no matter how simple he is in the emperor's heart, cannot continue to sit in Jing Zhaoyin's position. At that time, the family members and the imperial censors will work together. As the emperor, His Majesty Li Er will have to consider the stability of the capital and either leave Fang Juntou idle or transfer him out of the capital.
I don't dare to hope for it. Fang Jun's holy family is still there, and there is the old and strong Fang Xuanling behind him. If he is suppressed too hard, there may be a rebound. As long as he can mobilize the land of Gyeonggi and the vastness of the world, then follow him.
It’s not a deep grudge, it’s just a court game. There’s no need to ruin someone’s entire future…
Xiao Yu frowned in deep thought, not listening to the conversations of several old friends around him.
Suddenly, there was an exclamation in the hall.
Someone said in surprise: "Look, look, where is the fire?"
With a "hoo!", many people rushed to the windows and doors to look outside.
"Oh, look in the direction, could it be that side of Dongshi?"
"No way? There are patrols from Jingzhao Mansion over there in Dongshi day and night, and they are very strict. How could there be a fire for no reason?"
"But if you look in the direction, it's clearly Dongshi."
"Oh, don't say it, it's true! What should I do?"
"Dongshi is really full of disasters. There was a fire earlier and countless goods were burned. The Linghu family was even devastated. I wonder whose house was burned this time?"
Everyone was whispering, not loudly. After all, they were paying condolences at someone else's house, and it was disrespectful to make a noise.
But it’s enough for people in the room to hear clearly...
Xiao Yu was suddenly startled. He immediately stood up and looked through the pushed-open window. There was a fire burning in the dark night in the south. Although it seemed small, it was so conspicuous in the night. Shocking.
broken!
Xiao Yu almost sighed, what happened? How could it catch fire?
A certain level of demonstrations can force the emperor to make concessions, but once the matter exceeds the scale and crosses the emperor's bottom line, the emperor will never give in even if he bites the bullet!
What is this old guy Changsun Wuji thinking?
Is there anything else I can do...
*****
Hu Chong was mixed in the crowd, raising his arms and shouting, looking excited and his face flushed!
Although the Xiaoju riot was organized behind the scenes with the support or acquiescence of various aristocratic families, as the actual organizer of this incident, Hu Chong not only did not have the slightest fear, but was full of pride and confidence!
The law does not punish the public. As long as there is no damage to houses, goods, or casualties, then the court will have to hold its nose and admit it! Is it possible to arrest so many people and behead them in public?
impossible!
Didn’t you see that the government officers and patrolmen from Jingzhao Mansion were just surrounding Dongshi, but they didn’t dare to come in to arrest people?
This is a time of peace and prosperity, not the beginning of the founding of the country. The head of the family is right. Both the emperor and the ministers of the court hope to have a stable environment to encourage people's livelihood, accumulate wealth, and accumulate all the energy to complete His Majesty's grand hegemony— —Conquer Goguryeo!
As long as the matter is controlled within the scope of Dongshi City, it will be a small-scale demonstration. With the support of the aristocratic family members and the Yushi Yanguan, the matter can only be left alone in the end, but Fang Jun, who is Jing Zhaoyin, must There is a price to pay for this!
Hu Chong was uncontrollably excited. As long as this thing was done, he would transform from a low-ranking servant into a steward of one of the most powerful families in the Tang Dynasty. His status would not only rise by two levels?
It’s just one step to reach the sky!
Eh?
Where did the torches shine so brightly?
Hu Chong was feeling excited when he suddenly found that the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter...
Then, his eyes grew wider and wider.
This is Xuanyangfang in front of us. Why did it catch fire?
Hu Chong's flushed face turned pale in an instant. He remembered the words of the family leader Qian Dingzhuwan - no matter what, you can amplify the matter!
Hu Chong's heart trembled, he swallowed and thought: The fire in Xuanyangfang has nothing to do with us, right?
