Drive a RV and go farming in ancient times.

It is impossible to be partial, and the punishment is pretty much the same.

The sky is thundering, people have made big mistakes since ancient times, and they are punished like this. What crazy and wicked things did the Changle Marquis Mansion do to deserve this retribution?

Moreover, the timing of the occurrence was also subtle. In the court hall, the Zuodu Censor was urging the emperor to issue an edict to punish himself. Tonight, Master Huixin recited sutras and prayed for the victims. Therefore, at this juncture, there was thunder and lightning above the Changlehou Mansion. Lightning, what does this mean? It’s terrifying to think about it.

Naturally, the melon-eaters were not afraid, only excited to watch the excitement.

In the Changlehou Mansion, several masters on this floor had already considered their expressions as if they were graves, ugly and extremely heavy.

Before I had time to think about how to deal with it, I heard people exclaiming, "It's gone, it's gone, Xifengyuan has gone..."

Xifengyuan is where Li Yuan lives. Li Yuan was originally comforting his aunt. When he heard this, his expression suddenly changed and he asked sternly, "How could Xifengyuan get into trouble?"

The servant looked pale and said tremblingly, "Yes, it's the sycamore tree in the side courtyard. The tree was hit by lightning and it caught fire..."

Li Yuan's heart suddenly sank. Just now, the lightning and thunder could not make him panic. But now, he was in a state of confusion and subconsciously said, "Impossible!"

There was nothing wrong with the lightning strike, but it happened to strike in the yard where he lived. How could this not frighten people? If someone with intentions uses it as a raft to criticize him, will he still have any good fruits to eat?

The servant was so frightened by his cannibalistic expression that he knelt down, trembling, and said in an incoherent tone, "Yes, it's true, Second Master, I don't dare to lie, that sycamore tree, from... The fire that started from above burned very violently. Besides thunder and fire, what else could it be man-made..."

Li Yuan kicked him, "How dare you talk nonsense!"

If he continues to say such words, he will be killed.

The other people present had different expressions as they could not imagine this level.

The servant screamed and fainted while lying on the ground.

He couldn't get angry and continued to kick, but Changlehou stopped him, "What's the use of kicking a slave? Why don't you go to your yard and see what kind of villain is causing trouble!"

It is better to use villains to cover it up than to use thunder and lightning.

In short, let's fool him first. Not only Li Yuan, but also the Hou Mansion cannot have anything to do with Lei Deng, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Li Yuan is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd. He was too shocked just now and the incident happened unexpectedly, so he lost his sense. When he heard his father's words, he immediately agreed, "Yes, father, son, let's go and investigate right away." , the villain who framed our Hou Mansion will definitely be found out and brought to justice."

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Marquis Changle nodded with satisfaction, "Go ahead, be careful and don't miss any clues."

"Yes, father." Li Yuan agreed respectfully again, not daring to delay any longer, strode out of the stand, and ran towards his yard with a group of servants.

Seeing this, Changlehou Crown Prince Li Ji's eyes darkened. His father valued his younger brother more and more. He was actually given the task of handling such a matter. Where would he be placed? Are you still afraid that he will interfere with it? No matter how much he dislikes his concubine, he still understands that everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer. The current situation is unknown, and the blessings and blessings are unknown. Even for the sake of the Hou Mansion, he will only work together as brothers, but obviously, his father cannot believe him.

If his mother were still here, she could still fight for him a few words, but just now her mother was frightened and fainted, and she had already been helped back to the room by her servants. At this moment, she was alone and helpless.

"Yuan'er..." At this time, Aunt Xue stood up and chased him a few steps worriedly, but Li Yuan had already gone far away. She had no choice but to turn her head and call out "Master Hou" to the Marquis of Changle helplessly.

In the past, Marquis Changle was very fond of this, and he was willing to give her some face for the sake of the children she gave birth to, but now, he was irritable, how could he still be in the mood to coax an old lady?

He waved his hand impatiently, "The matter is still unclear and it's too early to say anything. You can go back to your own yard and don't get involved in Yuan'er's affairs."

Hearing this, Aunt Xue did not dare to speak no matter how much she wanted to say. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and let the maid beside her help her leave.

That pitiful posture made Li Ji, the prince of the Marquis of Changle, so disgusted. He was in his thirties, but he still imitated that little girl's delicate and weak way of fighting for favors. It was really disgusting. It was just that he was hindered by his father. Now, he always doted on Aunt Xue, and Aunt Xue was really lucky. The daughter she gave birth to became the eldest prince's concubine. He didn't dare to blatantly show off Aunt Xue's face, but he only gave her It is okay for the son to be born to have eye drops, otherwise, given time, he, the heir apparent, may not have the same weight as Li Yuan's words.

"Father, what do you think of what happened just now?"

At this moment, the frightening sound of thunder and lightning had disappeared, and only the flames and smoke billowing in the direction of Xifengyuan were seen. The servants were running around carrying water basins, making a lot of noise.

Marquis Changle held his hands behind his back expressionlessly, looking at the stars twinkling under the night sky, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you think? If you have any ideas, just tell me."

Li Ji pondered, "Thunder and lightning came too suddenly and strangely, and the sky tonight does not look like thunder and lightning. The most important thing... this thunder and lightning seems to only fall over our Hou Mansion. This is definitely not a blessing. If we don’t have a reasonable explanation, after tonight, we still don’t know how the people in the capital will view us, as well as the ministers of the DPRK and the emperor, they will definitely have doubts in their hearts, and maybe..."

Marquis Changle frowned. This was what made him most irritated. Thunder and lightning were too conspicuous, and he couldn't hide them even if he wanted to. Even if he relied on the celestial phenomena, Qin Tian Jian would definitely not cooperate with him to fool him. If he couldn't fool him, he would have no choice but to do so. Let’s talk about it completely, but how should we talk about this to minimize the loss?

Especially if it happens at this juncture, it is very likely that the Marquis Mansion will have to take the blame for the disaster. This is a very traumatic thing, and if it is serious, it can be fatal.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Li Ji continued, "Thunder and lightning struck the tree in my second brother's yard. We can't hide this. Once word gets out, it might be misinterpreted. But we can blame it on a villain." He was responsible for setting fire, but everything happened together and no one is a fool. My son is worried that it will make people feel that he is hiding something, but it will be more detrimental to the reputation of the second brother. "

Changlehou turned his head, looked at him steadily and asked, "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"

Li Ji lowered his eyelids and said respectfully, "My son is stupid and doesn't know how to deal with it. He is just worried about the future of the Hou family. As long as there is a way to eliminate this disaster, my son is willing to do anything."

The best and most trouble-free way is to put everything on Li Yuan's head and say that he has done bad things. God can't stand it, so he uses thunder and lightning as a warning.

In this way, Li Yuan's reputation was ruined, but the Hou Mansion could be saved. At most, he would be talked about a few times by the common people after dinner.

In short, don't have anything to do with the disaster.
