Domineering Daming

A big fire turned everything into black rubble. The once unattainable big yamen is now being cleaned up by the common people, and it is no longer majestic.

One after another, the charred corpses were found and carried out. A group of people were mournful and silent.

Dozens of people were burned to death in more than 40 private houses, and many people were crying there. Fortunately, Shuntian Mansion had already carried out appeasement and compensation, and there was not much complaint.

But with the dawn, people's grievances gradually arose, and the whole capital was full of turmoil.

In stark contrast to the common people, all the officials closed their doors tightly without making any changes. They were all trying their best to show the outside world that they had nothing to do with this matter, and they dared not get involved in the slightest.

The gentry who participated in the arson were all anxious. They didn't expect such a big disturbance, so they avoided it and hid in fear.

Although the people behind want to watch the excitement, they all understand that a huge storm is about to surge in the capital, and they are all trying to get out of the capital, but the nine gates have been closed long ago, and they can only hide in corners of the capital , not even a hair of hair.

The palace is still quiet, terrifyingly quiet!

Concubine Liu, Empress Dowager Zhang, Li Jieyu and others could not sleep peacefully, and no one could stay out of this matter.

But they didn't dare to disturb Zhu Xu, they stayed in the palace, quietly waiting for the news.

partial palace.

Bumbutai and Hailanzhu stood together, wearing clothes, standing in front of the palace gate, looking in the direction of Shuntian Mansion.

Even though the fire has been extinguished, the sky is getting brighter, and nothing can be seen, I still stare at it.

Even Hai Lanzhu, who was not sensitive to politics, bit her lip and said softly, "Sister, did something big happen to Mingren?"

Bumbutai frowned, his pretty face was full of seriousness.

Although she was locked in the palace and isolated from the outside world, she could still feel that this matter had something to do with Huang Taiji's arrangement, and it had something to do with her!

Bumbutai turned around, looked at Hai Lanzhu, and said solemnly: "Sister, no matter when you meet anyone, don't mention this matter, even if someone asks, you must firmly shake your head and say you don't know, do you know?" ?”

Hai Lanzhu's complexion changed slightly, she clasped her hands tightly, her heart was pounding, she pursed her lips and nodded.

Bumbutai didn't say much, but frowned and looked in the direction of Shuntian Mansion, waiting anxiously in his heart.

Hai Lanzhu didn't know much at first, but what Bumbutai is worried about now is whether those people have shown their feet. If Ming people find out, they will never go back!

In Jingyang Palace, in the side hall, Zhu Xu was still playing chess with Liu Shimin.

As for Go, Zhu Xu is not good at it. Except for that girl named Xiao Yongning, he can't play Go well. Those who play with him will slowly and quietly become guide chess.

Zhu Xu pretended not to know, holding the black flag, staring at the chessboard, thinking about the move.

Beside the two of them, Zhu Zonghan knelt on one knee, his zombie face was in an uneasy state of pleading guilty.

Snapped!

Zhu Xu dropped the piece, stared at the chess piece, and then said in a neutral tone: "Let's talk."

Zhu Zonghan lowered his head, and said: "Yes. I have roughly checked that it was Huang Taiji, the slave-builder chief, who installed secret operations in the Huimeng Chamber of Commerce, and then set up a secret post in the capital. They should have done it."

"Should?" Zhu Xu turned to look at him, his eyes suddenly cold.

Zhu Zonghan lowered his head even lower, and said: "I have been suspicious of the Huimeng Chamber of Commerce before, and have been investigating secretly, but this person is very vigilant and has not revealed his flaws. This time, he found evidence from the kerosene. These kerosene is It was specially provided to Chahar, and there were small, imperceptible iron pieces in the oil drum, which were found by Chen's people at the scene of Shuntian Mansion. It's just...the people that Chen has been staring at haven't moved, there should be a force Involved."

Zhu Xu's temples twitched, squinting his eyes, and said in a flat tone: "You mean, besides Jiannu, there are still people in the capital who are dissatisfied with me and the court?"

Zhu Zonghan heard the cold murderous intent from Zhu Xu's words, stiffened his body and said: "Yes, I didn't startle the snake, I should still be in the city."

Zhu Xu looked at Zhu Zonghan with indifferent eyes, and turned to look at Liu Shimin.

Liu Shimin didn't even raise his head, he had already settled down.

Zhu Xu looked at the chessboard again. His situation is not very good, not bad at all.

Cao Huachun stood not far away, half-closed his eyes, as if he didn't hear anything.

Zhu Xu held the chess piece and landed it on the chessboard with a thud. He suddenly smiled and said, "Guess, which side is this force?"

The side hall was very quiet, no one spoke.

The "New Deal" has offended too many people. From the clan to the world's officials to the current gentry, it can be said that the emperor has offended the whole world. There are many people who are dissatisfied with the "New Deal". possible!

No way to guess!

Seeing that a few people were silent, Zhu Xu smiled, and said in silence for a while: "The confluence of several poisons...Zhu Zonghan, release something to lure Huang Taiji's people out and kill them all. The Huimeng Chamber of Commerce will clean it up. When it comes to trade with the north, we must vigorously investigate, every intersection and pass must be reorganized, and the things given to Chahar and other tribes must be strictly checked, whoever dares to smuggle... will be killed without mercy!"

"I obey the order!" Zhu Zonghan said in a deep voice.

From outsiders' point of view, the fire in Shuntian Mansion was the responsibility of the Ministry of Criminal Justice or Shuntian Mansion, but in reality, Jin Yiwei still had to blame it!

Zhu Zonghan already had Luo Yangxing on his head. If something happened again, he was worried that he would not end well.

Zhu Xu waved his hand, and lightly exhaled the stale air in his chest.

The more major events are imminent, the more demons and demons will be there.

Chapter 579

As the sun rose, the capital began to be bustling, and the time for the morning court was getting closer and closer.

Even in the morning, the teahouses were crowded with people talking about the fire.

The corruption of the government officials in the country began in the late Wanli period. Soldiers mutinied frequently in the south of the Yangtze River and in the southwest, and the masses besieged government offices or eunuchs. To say that it was really so intense, burning the Shuntian government office was unique!

This is the place where hundreds of officials gather at the feet of the emperor, who would dare to be so presumptuous!

In the teahouse, there were people from all walks of life, gathered together, and were discussing eagerly.

"Have you heard? It is said that this was done by the prince of the clan to vent his dissatisfaction with the court and the emperor!"

"That's not what I heard, it might be done by those nobles, they have this ability!"

"Don't listen to their nonsense. I have a brother who works in the Ministry of Punishment. He said that those gentry did it. He has already caught several of them."

"Really? Isn't there another saying that Donglin's remnants did it?"

"It's all been guessed randomly, be careful of getting into trouble..."

"Yes, yes, don't talk too much, drink tea, drink tea..."

Not far away from them, a handsome young man in a long white dress sneered and picked up his teacup.

Opposite him is a woman dressed in redwood, her eyes are full of heroism, looking at the man opposite, her eyes are full of obsession.

The two sat quietly, drinking tea, and glanced at the people passing downstairs from time to time.
