Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Wang Hu shook his head: "The murderer spread kerosene around the house, and the fire started from inside the house. When it was discovered, the fire was already very strong. It is summer now. It has not rained for many days, and the pond in the mansion has also There was not much water stored, not to mention that His Highness the Third Prince sent all the servants out of the dormitory at that time, and by the time anyone discovered the fire, it was already too late."

Jiao Yang's hand holding Bi Liu began to tremble. It was over. No matter if this was a conspiracy or not, Xiao Feng couldn't get away.

She calmed down and walked quickly towards the backyard.

Before reaching the backyard, I heard intermittent crying coming from the house. Everyone had solemn expressions and the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

Standing at the door was Fengyang. When she saw the scorching sun coming, her eyes became imperceptibly cold.

At this moment, Jiao Yang was in no mood to pay attention to this. Her eyes quickly swept across everyone in the yard, but she did not see Xiao Feng.

Soon, Jiaoyang's gaze passed over the crowd and fell on several corpses on the ground. The third prince and his wife Situ Yi were kneeling in front of a burnt black corpse and crying. Situ Yi was shaking vigorously and lying on the ground. The silent man shouted: "Father, please get up and look at my son. Father, please don't leave me."

When Jiao Yang saw the horribly burned corpse on the ground, his chest felt like a heavy blow, and tears fell involuntarily.

Soon, hurried footsteps came from outside, followed by Chen Bin's shout: "Yu'er, my Yu'er, you stay in the house well, how could you get into such trouble!"

Following closely behind was a yellow figure. Seeing this, everyone hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "See you, Your Majesty!"

Situ Lin never expected that his son, whom he had scolded in the hall today, would now be lying lifeless on the cold floor, his whole body burned black.

When he heard that the Third Prince's Mansion was on fire, he thought it was just an ordinary fire. But just now the guards came to deliver the news that his son was dead. He still had some illusions in his heart, but now that he saw his body, he had to believe it. .

Situ Lin dragged his heavy steps to take a last look at his son's body, but suddenly his vision went dark and he lost consciousness.

The already messy backyard became even more messy because of the emperor's fall, and soon everyone was in a hurry again.

When Situ Lin woke up, he was still in the Third Prince's Mansion, and the suppressed cries of everyone could be heard in his ears. Situ Jin stood by the bed, saw him waking up, and asked, "Father, are you awake?"

Situ Lin stared at the tent ceiling for a long time, and then he said quietly: "Can you find out what happened?"

Situ Jin clenched his fists and said slowly: "It was someone who poured kerosene on it. Coupled with the dry weather, the fire was out of control for a while. By the time someone discovered it, it was already too late..."

Situ Xu suddenly interrupted him, his eyes filled with cold light, and he choked with sobs: "Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to protect his cousin? The person who set the fire was obviously caught at the scene, but now he is doing it in front of his father. Without mentioning this matter at all, there was also the guard. He kept saying that Xiao Feng came to the emperor's brother's mansion to find General Xiao and his wife. Now the prince also sent people to search the mansion, and there was no trace of General Xiao and his wife. It was obvious. It was Xiao Feng who believed that his parents were killed by someone sent by the Third Emperor's brother, so he became murderous and set fire to the Emperor's brother."

Suddenly, there was a loud cry outside, and then the door of the dormitory was pushed open by someone from the outside. The air outside the hall was filled with a strong burning smell. As the door of the dormitory opened, the already depressing atmosphere became even more intense. Added a bit of irritability.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for my child. My Yu'er died so miserably!"

The person who came in was Concubine Chen. She no longer had the noble image of the past. Her black hair was hanging loosely on her forehead, and she was crying like rain.

"Grandpa Huang, I want my father, I want my father!"

Situ Yi cried and ran to Situ Lin's bedside, holding his hand and crying until he was out of breath.

Situ Lin struggled to sit up from the bed, his eyes full of sorrow: "Have you checked the body? How did the third child die?"

Situ Jin's eyes moved and he said softly: "There are no other injuries on the body. He inhaled a lot of smoke and dust in his nose and died of suffocation caused by the fire. But one thing is strange. The fire started from the inside, and the people outside did not Heard cries for help.”

Situ Lin stared at him and said, "What's going on with Xiao Feng?"

Situ Jin glanced at everyone present and said truthfully: "According to the guards in the palace, they found him at the base of the wall outside the dormitory. There was a bucket of kerosene next to him at that time, not far from the location of the fire, and that location was not far away. It’s not remote, and people outside quickly discovered him as soon as they came in to put out the fire.”

"The guard who came with him was named Li Ji. He was his uncle's personal guard. After he returned to Beijing, he went to Xiao Mansion immediately and informed Xiao Feng about the assassination of his uncle and aunt. Xiao Feng went out of the city with him overnight. Go to the accident site and search for the whereabouts of your uncle and aunt."

"It's just that when they were halfway there, someone sent a message with a dart to tell them that their uncle and aunt were at the Three Emperors' residence, and they returned to the capital."

"About half an hour after Xiao Feng came in, he heard a fire in the mansion. He was worried about Xiao Feng's safety, so he clashed with the guards in the mansion and forced his way into the mansion."

"Seeing Xiao Feng unconscious again, the guards in the imperial brother's palace arrested Xiao Feng. He was anxious and took action, injuring several guards."

Situ Xu said sadly to the side: "The prince really knows how to avoid the important and take the easy. He is trying to excuse his cousin with every word. Within half an hour of entering, the fire in the house shot straight into the sky. Who will believe this? Those who fell in The kerosene around the house was clearly planned by Xiao Feng."

Situ Jin raised his eyes and looked at Situ Xu solemnly.

His eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, and they were cold and terrifying. This second emperor brother has always been gentle and gentle, and he has never been so aggressive. Could it be that his appearance today is really because of the deep brotherly love and he wants to get a favor for his brother? justice?

Situ Jin pursed his lips and retorted: "Xiao Feng came back from the city and entered the palace through the main entrance. Everyone in the palace saw that he entered the palace empty-handed, and there was so much kerosene. How could one person do it in such a short time? Fill the whole house in a matter of hours.”

Situ Xu said regardless: "There are so many palaces in a prince's house, so there is nothing wrong with stocking some kerosene for lighting. What's more, the fire started from inside. Xiao Feng could have poured kerosene on the house when the emperor's brother had already fallen. All around, if the fire burns outside, it will naturally attract the attention of people outside.”

Jiao Yang stood outside the hall and listened quietly to the people inside. She probably had an understanding in her heart, and she winked at Bi Liu.

Bi Liu silently walked outside and asked Wang Hu: "General Wang, where is Xiao Feng now?"

Wang Hu replied: "His Royal Highness sent someone to send him to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Bi Liu was a little confused: "Is he injured?"

Wang Hu said: "He suffered some minor injuries. He was unconscious at the time. Because the people in the mansion saw the fire, they arrested him. In addition, the guard next to him injured someone in the mansion. The guards in the third prince's mansion swarmed up. , he was implicated. Fortunately, I came early and stopped him, otherwise the consequences might have been more serious."

Bi Liu was blessed: "Thank you so much, General Wang!"

Wang Hu waved his hand carelessly: "It should, it should!"
