After Yue Shengfeng received the order, he naturally wanted to investigate.
And Xiao Chen's meaning became clearer.
be quick.
How about a quick hair?
Where is Xingyun Village?
On the bright side.
Xingyun Village is the manor of Zhongyong Hou Zhou Lei. It is a place for the princes, nobles and nobles to relax and enjoy themselves.
But in fact, Xingyun Village is the property of Xiao Wuji, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is a gold-making place for him.
If such a place is deprived of water and burned down by fire, is there any need for the imperial court to mobilize troops?
This is not just to tell the world directly that Xingyun Village is the manor of Xiao Wuji, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is a mountain villa built by him as a place for the princes, nobles and scholars to play and enjoy themselves. Prince Xiao Wuji is doing business ?
Therefore, this matter needs to be done quickly. The quickest thing is to give an explanation to the people of the world. The quickest thing is to give an explanation to the frightened people in Xingyun Village today. The quickest thing is to give an explanation to Xiao Wuji, the crown prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As for the real investigation, who organized this man-made disaster, burned down Xingyun Village, and robbed Xingyun Village of its money.
It doesn't matter anymore.
This is Yue Shengfeng's understanding.
If His Majesty really wanted to investigate who was behind the scenes, he wouldn't have settled the matter with just a few words.
Yue Shengfeng once again returned to Xingyun Village, which was in ruins.
The fire failed to completely destroy Xingyun Village.
The biggest fire was in Qinhuai Garden. There were ponds and an artificially dug river nearby.
There will be no shortage of water and the fire will be put out relatively quickly.
Then there's the Colosseum.
This place burned down immediately.
It was completely in ruins.
There are also several manors. Because there are ponds and artificial rivers nearby, the fires have been basically controlled.
However, the real loss in this fire was the money in Xingyun Village.
When Yue Shengfeng came, the guards also picked up a lot of gold bars and gold coins. Later, they discovered that a very large basement was dug out of the ground in the east courtyard, and a lot of gold and silver jewelry were stored in the basement. .
Until now, Zhongyong Hou Zhou Lei has not said how much money Xingyun Village lost this time.
Yue Shengfeng didn't press any questions.
After all, the money is not so honest.
…
"My lord, the prince went out earlier and has not come back yet."
Outside the Xiliang Prince's Mansion.
Zhang Fu bowed and saluted.
In front of him was Xing Guogong Yuan Guangyin, wearing plain clothes and a white cloth strip on his head.
After quickly buying a high-quality coffin (guo), inviting a kind eminent monk and a Taoist priest from Qingyun Temple to save Yuan Ye, and arranging his family affairs, he came to Xiliang Prince's Mansion.
Because of a fire in Xingyun Village, a man appeared, Ba Daodao Lord Ba Wutian.
However, it was rumored that Ba Wutian teamed up with nine other masters to ambush Xiao Yan, the prince of Xiliang Prince, in Maolong Ridge not long ago, and finally died at the hands of Xiao Yan.
How did someone who was obviously dead appear in Xingyun Village?
Yuan Guangyin did not intend to let go of any clue.
After learning that this morning, Xiao Yan also went to Xingyun Village. After the fire, he followed the crowd out.
There are some coincidences.
of course.
He didn't directly doubt Xiao Yan.
Just want to verify it.
Yuan Guangyin stood there alone, tall and straight, with a calm face, and no trace of grief could be seen.
"Um."
"I'm waiting for him right here."
Zhang Fu hurriedly raised his hands and said: "If the Duke comes in to invite you, you can stop in the front hall first, drink tea and wait. It's freezing outside. If..."
Duke Xing looked at Zhang Fu.
Finally he said in a deep voice: "No need, I will wait here."
He didn't know what the situation was like in Xiliang Prince's Mansion before.
but.
Take a look now.
You can see it.
It's no wonder that when the prince came to Beijing before, he rarely stayed at the Xiliang Prince's Mansion, but at Wangyue Tower.
The person arranged by His Majesty is still a bit uninteresting.
Yuan Guangyin thought for a while.
But he dismissed all these thoughts and concentrated on waiting for Xiao Yan to take a look and ask a few questions.
It doesn't take a moment.
A carriage appeared.
Finally, he stopped in front of the Xiliang Prince's Mansion.
Xiao Yan got out of the carriage while coughing.
It seems that he is still a little weak.
Zhang Fu and his men hurried forward.
Lianxiang Xiyu took a step faster and stepped forward to help Xiao Yan.
Both of them were extremely concerned.
"Your Majesty..."
Zhang Fu quickly said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Xing, General Yuan, is here and wants to see you."
Xiao Yan raised his head and looked at Yuan Guangyin standing in the dark night.
Beside him were two guards, each holding a lantern.
Outside the Xiliang Prince's Mansion, there were also lanterns hanging, and there were servants holding lanterns, shining a faint light in the dark night.
"The Duke of the Kingdom is coming, but he is not welcomed from afar."
"Disrespect, disrespect."
With the support of Lianxiang Xiyu, Xiao Yan arrived in front of Yuan Guangyin and bowed his hands slightly.
Yuan Guangyin asked directly: "Are you injured?"
Xiao Yan coughed a few times, his face turned slightly red, and he said indignantly: "Oh, stop talking, today I will go to Xingyun Village to play with Brother Xiao Xian, the son of King Qi Wangshu."
"Although my gambling skills are not very high, I can't lose a million gold in just half an hour, right?"
"I found out twice that the gambler of Xingyun Village was out of character and playing tricks, so I was very dissatisfied and asked the manager of Xingyun Village to refund the money and compensate me."
"It turned out they just didn't recognize it."
"How can it be repaired?"
"who I am?"
"I am the prince of Xiliang in the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could I allow them to deceive and insult like this, so I took action directly."
"Cough cough cough."
"Well, if I hadn't been ambushed by ten thieves in Maolong Ridge not long ago, and I was poisoned by poison in the end. My strength was out of ten. I forced my true energy to use it, and the poison backfired. I would have beaten them to their knees. Please forgive me!"
Xiao Yan looked very dissatisfied and angry.
Yuan Guangyin stared, not letting go of Xiao Yan's every move or expression.
Xiao Yan continued to say angrily: "It's just a congenital warrior. If it were before, I could kill him with just one hand!"
"Oh, I didn't expect that Xingyun Village suddenly went bankrupt. Everyone became panicked. Many people quickly left the gambling house, and the stewards also ran away."
"I originally wanted to argue with the owner of the village, but they still have my one hundred gold coins in their hands, and there is still money for compensation."
"As a result, we saw a fight in the east courtyard, and there were many thieves."
"I couldn't use my true energy, I was injured, and I was suffering from the poison's backlash, so I quickly blended into the crowd and ran back."
Finished.
He seemed to have just remembered something.
Then he asked Yuan Guangyin: "I don't know what the Lord is here for?"
then.
Then he saw the white cloth on Yuan Guangyin's head and asked with some confusion: "My lord, is this...?"
Yuan Guangyin narrowed his eyes slightly and replied: "The dog Yuan Ye was patrolling Xingyun Village, but he met a thief. He was killed by the thief because he was protecting the guests who were playing in Xingyun Village."
"I came here at this time just to ask the prince, have you ever seen those thieves? What are their characteristics? Do you know who they are?"
