In the early morning, it's still dark.
Liu E was woken up by the little chamberlain outside the door.
She stood up irritably and said angrily: "Is the sky falling? Is there something that we can't talk about in the daytime?"
The young chamberlain couldn't help lowering his voice and said cautiously: "Reporting to the saint, Yin Duzhi asked to see you outside the hall, saying that he had something important to report..."
Why--!
Liu E knew that she couldn't afford it anymore.
The things that make Yin Wuyun value him so much are not only big things, but also bad things...
After a while, she walked out of the bedroom wearing her nightgown.
"Tell me, what happened?"
Liu E rolled her eyes at Yin Wuyun who was kneeling on the ground. She felt that she was destined to have a short life. What kind of body could withstand the torment of these useless ministers?
"Queen Mother, there's a fire in Fan Tower."
That's it?
Liu E's face turned cold.
Yin Wuyun did not raise his head, but felt the sharpness, and continued: "Cao An opened a branch in Fanlou, and this store was the one that caught fire... Fan Zhongyan rushed to Kaifeng Mansion half an hour ago and ordered the arrest of the entire city!"
"Dead?"
Liu E then became serious.
"No, except for a few injured people, only seven or eight shops including Wanyue Building were burned down."
"Then why..."
Liu E wanted to say that Lao Fan was impulsive, but as soon as he started speaking, he stopped coldly.
"This fire is probably going to get big!"
Her eyes were deep, reflecting the cold light through the faint candlelight: "Does Fan Zhongyan want to start a war? Does he know that a single move can affect his whole body?!"
Yin Wuyun didn't move, but said calmly: "Fan Zhongyan let it slip, no matter who set the fire - punish him severely!"
"Well, I will see how he is 'severely punished'!"
Liu E lost her sleep, and her wrinkled face was covered with frost.
"Queen Mother..."
Yin Wuyun paused, and then said: "I think there may be something fishy about this matter."
Liu E was stunned for a moment: "...speak."
"The fire in Fanlou came so quietly, it must be man-made!"
Do you even need to say that?
Liu E said coldly: "You'd better pick something that I don't know about!"
"Since the last time, I have sent people to keep an eye on Cao An... Before the fire in Fan Tower, someone saw that his personal servant went to Fan Tower with a few unfamiliar people."
There is no need to say too much.
They are all smart people, and as long as they break through a little bit, they can get a full picture.
Liu E sat up slightly, her eyes shining brightly: "You mean, this fire is not a 'hate', but Cao An deliberately set it!"
"I don't have any evidence, so I can't make false claims."
Yin Wuyun's answer was straightforward.
He would say whatever happened, and he could not control what the big bosses would think.
Many people just position themselves too inaccurately and talk too much.
"It's getting more interesting."
Liu E stood up slowly and walked back and forth in the hall, with a smile on her face.
Yin Wuyun was kneeling on the ground and could not see Liu E's face, but judging from her pace, the Queen Mother was not angry, but rather relaxed and happy.
"Can those people be found?"
Liu E walked past Yin Wuyun, then turned back and stopped.
Yin Wuyun remained indifferent and shook his head: "I'm afraid not. I just sent people to watch Cao An. Those people... I am guilty, please punish the Queen Mother."
"Forget it, I can't blame you for this."
Liu E's face remained as usual: "If it was really Cao An, those people would have disappeared at this moment. When the city gate opens at dawn tomorrow, it would mean death without evidence!"
"Should we order the city to be locked down?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Yin Wuyun regretted them.
Sure enough, Liu E's face turned cold: "No. Kyoto is the center of the Song Dynasty. Once the city is closed, it will be earth-shattering. Closing the city for a fire will only make the situation even more out of control."
…
The next day, the gate of Fanlou was crowded with people.
Fire prevention technology in ancient times was backward, and disasters often occurred in many places.
But this is Tokyo, and the most prosperous business district in Bianliang was on fire. Such a spectacle is rare in a century!
There were comments from time to time among the crowd.
Some people were puzzled: "There are four military patrol bunks around Fan Tower. How could it be burned so badly? It is said that when the smoke first started to rise, the fire brigade should have arrived."
"Yes, this is Fan Tower."
"so……"
A few wise men exclaimed.
This is a man-made disaster!
This matter was quickly analyzed by everyone, and it became more and more evil as it spread.
…
Wanyue Tower.
While Cao An was still dreaming, he heard someone pushing the door open and coming in.
"Yue Rong, your husband and I are growing taller. From now on we..."
Cao An was so angry that he buried his head in the quilt and said angrily: "If there is another bad guest who comes to the door before getting up, I will beat him out with a stick!"
Bang!
"Who are you going to hit?"
Fan Zhongyan kicked in the door and entered.
Fuck!
Cao An suddenly lost his sleepiness, stood up from the bed with a sudden jerk, and suddenly let out a strange scream, and wrapped his naked body with a quilt.
"Ah, Mr. Lang..."
Jian Yuerong quickly picked up the robe next to her and put it on Cao An, then went out with a blushing face.
"Are you dressed?"
Fan Zhongyan sat with a cold face.
Cao An was putting on his shoes with his head down, and suddenly he fell to the ground in a panic.
The classic dog eating shit position.
Lao Fan was angry, holding back his anger and said: "I want to ask you: there was a big fire last night, but you did it?"
"no!"
Cao Anma Liuer put on her shoes with a serious look on her face.
"really?"
"The education that juniors have received since childhood does not allow someone to lie in front of their elders."
Fan Zhongyan looked at him and said calmly: "I have ordered the city to be closed down. No one who should be arrested can escape."
What?
Cao An rolled his eyes.
He swore it only turned once.
Snapped!
Lao Fan stood up and slapped you, cursing at the same time: "I know it! I know it... Boy, you are so brave! I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death!"
Cao An was frightened by Lao Fan's words and did not react for a while.
After being beaten several times, he suddenly shouted: "You lied to me! Kaifeng Mansion has no right to seal the city!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
Fan Zhongyan became even more angry, took off his shoes, grabbed Cao An's head and beat him.
Snapped!
Bang bang! Snapped!
Outside the door, Chang Chun and others looked at each other.
"or……"
Jian Yuerong felt a little distressed and wanted to ask someone to go in and stop him.
However, Luo Han subconsciously took several steps back and shook his head wildly: "I have seen Mr. Fan get angry. That scene... forget it, Lang Jun is also Mr. Fan's nephew. He will definitely not kill anyone."
Of course Lao Fan wouldn't kill anyone, but he was really ruthless.
Cao An clutched the swollen back of his head and sat on the ground shivering.
"call……"
Lao Fan also sat on the ground, breathing heavily.
The old man and the young man looked at each other, and Cao An hurriedly lowered his head.
"Tell me about you, you..."
Fan Zhongyan calmed down for a while and sighed: "I didn't want to slap you, but I couldn't help it! Mr. Cao, this is the great grandson you gave birth to! He is a real grandson!"
In order to take revenge, he even burned down his own shop. At such a young age - how cruel!
Cao An said tentatively: "Don't worry, Mr. Fan, those people have already left Bianliang territory by now. Even if someone wants to chase them, there is absolutely no chance."
Snapped!
This time Lao Fan had no strength left.
