The dark night, coupled with the passing clouds in the sky, blocked the light of the moon shining on the earth, making Yu Si, who was not very bright, a bit gloomy.
Yu Si, neither big nor small.
Yusi has a rectangular building structure, with offices on both sides, and a large area in the middle used to store grain.
Today's Yusi is like an empty house. All the grain stored in the middle area has been transported to Jianglai, and the lights on both sides of the office have been turned off early.
If you want to say where Yu Si is the brightest right now, it is outside Yu Si.
There is a city wall that separates Yusi from the inside and outside. Not only can these materials withstand wind and rain, nor can they withstand beatings, but they can block the fire anyway.
In a word: even if water escapes from Yu Si, it cannot be burned outside Yu Si; if water escapes from outside Yu Si, it cannot be burned into Yu Si.
Considering the water leakage, when the Yusi was first built, the Yusi was built so high that even the roof of the Yusi was covered.
Therefore, if you want to enter Yusi, there is only one door to pass through, which is the main door, and it is also the only door leading to Yusi.
There were several soldiers guarding Yusi's gate. The outside of Yusi's city wall was covered with red lanterns, and lights were clearly visible everywhere.
But Yusi was different. It was pitch dark inside Yusi, and none of the soldiers guarding it could carry the lights used for lighting. Therefore, those who could work in Yusi were basically those with good hearing and vision.
At this time, on the roof of a house a few hundred feet away from Yu Si, a man in a black coat, covered in black clothes from head to toe, ran very fast on the tiles.
You can see that he is wearing a long sword on his waist and a bamboo hat on his head. There is a black line tied behind the hat, which dances as the man runs.
A layer of black gauze was in front of his eyes. Both hands were holding the sword tightly, and a jar of wine was tightly held in his mouth. Like a leopard, he hurriedly ran on the tiles.
Then, he did a backflip, jumped off the house, and stood in front of Yusi's main gate. Before the soldiers guarding Yusi's gate could react, the sword in the man's hand wiped their necks.
I saw everyone falling to the ground, dripping with blood, but no soldiers in Yu Si noticed.
The man turned his head to look behind him, nodded, and hurried in.
It turned out that the assassin was not only this man, but also a team of more than a dozen people hundreds of feet away from Yu Si.
Not a word was spoken between them, as if they were all mute and relied on body language to act.
Looking at the leading man who nodded, half of these people, who were the same from head to toe, were holding wine jars, and the other half were holding two swords in their hands.
Without saying much, he rushed directly towards Yu Si like a thief.
As soon as the man arrived at Yusi, he threw the wine bottle in his mouth towards the buildings, then grabbed two long swords and started fighting with the guards inside.
Then, a dozen men behind him also rushed into Yu Si, smashed their wine bottles at the wooden buildings, and the rest started fighting with the guards.
Not long after, all the guards fell to the ground, but all the people in this group were unharmed. Most of them were scratched by swords.
Then, I saw one by one taking out the matches and throwing them into the buildings with a bang. Suddenly the flames burned bigger and bigger, burning along with the wine and the wooden buildings without restraint.
Seeing the scene of blazing fire, these people nodded to each other and quickly fled the place.
After the people who set the fire left, the fire grew bigger and bigger, igniting various wooden buildings, and falling down one after another. Yusi was like a fire field, with clear and bright light everywhere.
But Yusi was hundreds of feet away from the people's residences, and because Yusi's wall was made of stone walls, fire could not burn out. In addition, the stone walls were relatively airtight, so the fire could not be seen clearly from the outside.
However, it was already ugly time now, and the people of Yanyang City had already rested.
The light in Cen's study room is still on.
After the maid hurriedly cleaned up the spilled tea, she carefully opened the study door and walked out.
Master Cen Wenxing stood in front of the wet book for a long time, then walked to the couch, took off his official uniform, and fell asleep.
The sky was slowly dyed bright by the bright light brought by the sun.
There were no clouds in the sky, and the air seemed very cool.
The light slanted into Master Cen Wenxing's study, illuminating the books.
Coupled with the breeze blowing overnight, the booklet is now quite dry.
Master Cen Wenxing was awakened by the sunshine early in the morning.
As soon as he got up, he hurriedly put on the crimson official uniform and walked towards the window.
The first time I looked at that booklet.
The originally expressionless Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly smiled slightly, called out to his servant, wiped his face, and hurried out holding the booklet and the books beside it in both hands.
Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, seems to look better today than he did two days ago, maybe because he discovered something.
I saw him hurrying towards Yu Si.
When they arrived at Yusi, they only saw Yusi Bai Gaoyuan, Second Yusi Li Zhen and several Yusi officials standing aside, with people surrounding them watching.
But he couldn't see clearly what was going on, so Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Give way."
"Give way."
After squeezing into the crowd, I saw the corpses of the guards lying on the ground one by one, and the stone floor was stained with bright red blood.
Yu Si Bai Gaoyuan on the side had a very anxious look on his face.
"What's going on?" Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, asked.
After hearing the voice of Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs, several Yusi officials hurriedly turned their attention to Cen Wenxing, the minister of household affairs.
"Cen Shangshu, you are finally here. There was a big fire in Yusi overnight, and all the guards were killed." Yusi Bai Gaoyuan looked at Cen Wenxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, with two helpless eyes.
Hearing Yu Si Bai Gaoyuan's words in front of him, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, was immediately at a loss.
After hesitating for a long time, Cen Wenxing finally spoke: "I will tell the Prime Minister about this later. You officials will clean up this place and distribute some silver to the homes of these dead soldiers."
"Yes." Yu Sibai Gaoyuan responded.
Afterwards, Cen Wenxing, the Minister of Household Affairs, hurried to the palace and the Prime Minister's Mansion with a few pamphlets and a few books.
Unfortunately, I got up too early, and neither of the two prime ministers were in the prime minister's house at this time.
There are some petty officials in the prime minister's house, and it is useless to talk to them.
"Master Cen, what's the matter?" asked the official.
Cen Shangshu looked serious and said: "I have something important to discuss with the two prime ministers."
Knowing that he couldn't help, the soldier just walked away.
