Jianchang Bo Mansion.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yanling got up after taking a nap and just went to the front hall to have a tea and was about to go out. When he saw Jiang Chong, the foreman of the mansion, hurried in, without even saying hello, "Sir, it's not good. The prison of the Ministry of Justice caught fire last night and some people died."

When Zhang Yanling heard "bad" and instinctively thought something was happening in the palace. When he learned that it was a fire in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, he shouted with a slight anger: "A big fuss, what's wrong with those criminals who died? He simply has no eyesight. Can you tell me about this little thing?"

"Sir, among the people who died in the Ministry of Justice last night, including Lu Sun, the leader of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce, the body is now burning unsatisfactory!" Jiang Chong said anxiously.

"Bang!"

Zhang Yanling slapped the lid of the tea bowl on the tea table and shouted angrily, "I just asked the Ministry of Justice to take good care of it before, so I went back and caught fire. Has he sent someone to check?"

"Return to the Lord, I just went to the Ministry of Justice to ask about the fire that happened when the Haishi and Zishi last night. The sky is dry and the fire is very strong. Although the Ministry of Justice used a large number of people to put out the fire, there were not enough water tanks for water storage, and Lu Sun's prison number was in the innermost place, so there was no time to rescue him."

Jiang Chong said a little aggrievedly, "The body is placed there, and even the people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei have gone. Now we are pursuing the cause of the fire and verifying the exact identity of the deceased!"

Zhang Yanling was furious: "Let's go, go to the Ministry of Justice with me! I don't believe that things are so coincidental. It's because I just explained it before, and it's about the fire here. If the people from the Ministry of Justice dare to make trouble, see how I deal with them!"

Zhang Yanling didn't believe in the accidental fire, so he hurried to the Sanfa Office. As soon as he arrived at the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, he saw Min Gui, the Minister of Justice, who was wearing a black face, walking towards the door.

The Ministry of Justice's prison caught fire and killed five prisoners. The matter could not be suppressed, which made the news a little loud, and Min Kyu was a little worried.

However, this cannot be blamed for the people who do things for not being attentive. I just didn’t expect that the fire in autumn would spread so quickly. It was almost enough to die Hui Niang in the plan. Who knew that five lives would be involved, and more people were injured. Even some jailers were affected by the fire and burned.

"I've met Jianchang Bo."

Min Kyu frowned when she saw Zhang Yanling, and seemed not very polite because he felt that Zhang Yanling, who was an outsider, ran to the Ministry of Justice without saying hello in advance, and obviously wanted to provoke a criminal!

Zhang Yanling didn't care about so much and directly asked: "Shangshu Min, what happened to the fire in the Ministry of Justice's prison?"

Min Gui stammered his neck and said, "The Ministry of Justice, Censorate and Dali Temple have already investigated it. The conclusions that the prisoner accidentally knocked over the oil lamp. In the middle of the night, the prison guards did not inspect, so that the fire spread and found out that they could not be rescued. Jianchang Bo is here, and I don't know what happened?"

Even Min Kyu made an "unexpected" conclusion about the fire. Even if there are some unreasonable things, Zhang Yanling, a person who is completely out of reach, is not qualified to interfere.

Zhang Yanling said: "The emperor is very concerned about this case, so Shangshu Min should think carefully about how to explain to the emperor."

Min Kyu had a good relationship with Zhang Yanling before, but at this time he was annoyed that the Ministry of Justice had a fire in the prison of the Ministry of Justice, and only a few prisoners died. Is it necessary to explain to the emperor?

"Thank you, Jianchang Bo, for reminding me, I will take it all my strength." Min Gui's tone was stiff, and Zhang Yanling felt angry.

Zhang Yanling did not go inside to check, so he went directly to the Shouning Marquis Mansion.

When he informed Zhang Heling of the fire in the Ministry of Justice prison, Zhang Heling just squinted his eyes slightly and said, "The fire in the Ministry of Justice prison is the matter of the Ministry of Justice. What are you doing when you are rushing to make trouble? Aren't the main culprits who accept bribes detained in Dali Temple?"

"Brother, isn't there a Lu Sun family in the prison of the Ministry of Justice? She has no official position and is imprisoned with those criminals." Zhang Yanling said unwillingly.

"A widow, what do you care about? If you die, you will die. Do you still want to?"

Zhang Heling suddenly understood something and sneered, "No wonder you wanted to buy out the sinful female relatives! Humph, you have bad intentions!"

Zhang Yanling looked a little embarrassed: "Brother, who can't be selfish? I just wanted to see what a woman who can manage such a big industry looks like? Will she be as talented and beautiful as rumors outside the world, how can I not know that this kind of woman who can't be touched? I'm just unwilling to give up!"

"Why are you unwilling to give up? It's better to die, but this fire came too badly. What did the Ministry of Justice say?" Zhang Heling also felt that the fire was a bit unusual.

Zhang Yanling said: "I asked, the old man from Min Gui said that it was an accidental fire, five people died and many injured, because Lu Sun's prison was at the innermost point, and he could no longer rescue him when he found the fire. At this moment, the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei are still pursuing it."

Zhang Heling nodded slightly: "Unexpectedly, people from the Ministry of Justice dare not make secret troubles in this case, but the most important thing is to verify the correctness. This Lu Sun family has a wealth of wealth. If she uses her property to save her life, someone may really take risks."

"Brother forgot? The woman's property is now all over us. My elder brother is not at ease when doing things? I must have nothing left."

Zhang Yanling said proudly, "My brother is unwilling to let me deduct the money privately, but those industries still have to be kept a little. It is better to sell them and discount them later, or rent them out to collect rent, which is always a bit profitable."

Zhang Heling thought about it for a while, but finally nodded and did not continue to question the fire in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice's Prison broke out in an accident and it was reported to the cabinet in the afternoon, which was known to Xie Qian.

After all, every household will light tung oil lamps and candles at night. Even if there is a fire, it is not a rare thing. Even if the heavily guarded palace will be burned for a while, let alone other places? However, the Ministry of Justice has not been out of water for many years, which makes Xie Qian feel a little strange.

After Xie Qian put the promissory note of the day to report the promissory note, he came out of the palace and happened to meet Liu Daxia, the Minister of War. The two hurriedly walked together to talk about the matter.

"The Ministry of Justice caught fire, and the Lumen Sun died at the fire. Did Xie Ge's army hear about it?" Liu Daxia came up and asked.

Xie Qian only knew that the Ministry of Justice had a fire, but he didn't know that Sun Huiniang happened to be burned to death. He was a little stunned and asked, "Why is it such a coincidence?"

Liu Daxia started to complain: "I heard this morning and felt that things were too coincidental, but after asking carefully, I found out that the Lumen Sun was detained in the deep cell. After the fire broke out, he was unable to rescue him, so he was buried in the sea of ​​fire."

"Wait"

When Xie Qian heard this news, he was a little worried about Chen Xi. He was afraid that Chen Xi would have any extreme reaction, "Can he prove his true self?"

Liu Daxia said: "East Factory, Jinyiwei and the three judicial departments all went to the fire to inspect. There were no traces of human damage in the prison cell, and the fire also started unexpectedly. As for the Lumen Sun's physical characteristics, they were basically the same, but they died a little miserable. I have asked someone to go to Chenxi to inform him and let him be mournful and follow the changes."

"This kid!"

Xie Qian was angrily, "If there was no such fire, maybe he could have done something unreasonable. Guess what? Yesterday, he actually submitted an external request and wanted to give up the offer."

Liu Daxia was a little surprised after hearing this and asked, "Be serious about this?"

"Oh! I don't know what this kid thinks. The good Beijing officials are not good, so they have to be transferred from outside. Is the officials in that place so easy to be?"

Xie Qian said, and asked Chen Xi to take out the memorials written by him and handed them to Liu Daxia, saying casually, "I will ask him to speak well and say that I must dispel his negative thoughts."

After reading it, Liu Daxia noticed Chen Xi's helplessness from the lines. It was a kind of depression and helplessness that could not control his destiny.

"Maybe he just felt that the court owed him something." Liu Daxia said, "But one code is worth one code, no matter how great his contribution is, it is not a reliance that the Sun family in the Lu family can escape from the law. Yu Qiao turned around and talked to him more, so he had to let him put down his mind and do the funeral well."

Xie Qian sneered, looking a little angry, but after he was disconnected from Liu Daxia, a look of worry appeared on Xie Qian's face.

"You little brat, you are so heart-wrenching." Xie Qian took Chen Xi's request back to his arms, and the sedan chair had already come to him, and the attendant had already come to ask Xie Qian where to go.

Xie Qian waved his hand and said, "Go back to the house! Find someone to inform Chen Yude and ask him to come to our house. If he dares to swear, he will tie him up!"

Chen Xi finished writing the tribute to Hui Niang, and tears couldn't help but fall in tears at the corners of his eyes.

This is not his disguise, but his true feelings.

For Chen Xi, this incident was the most important lesson in his life, which caused his personality to change. He would continue to move forward in the officialdom in the future, but his future is difficult to determine.

"A person from the old man's house asked you to come over and said that it was his own explanation."

Xie Yuner was still in a state of restraint, but when she saw the tribute written in Chen Xi’s mourning, she couldn’t help but sobbed again.

"knew."

Chen Xi put down his pen and sighed. After Xie Yuner came forward to help tidy up her clothes, she walked out of the door. At this time, Yin Wen was standing in the yard, blinking her big eyes and looking at him curiously, not understanding why there were tears on his face.

"Um"

Yin Wen is not very talkative on weekdays. When she saw Chen Xi sad, she became sad. She leaned over and raised her hand to wipe Chen Xi's tears with her sleeve. When she found that the sleeves were not very effective, she took out the close-fitting Yunjin white handkerchief prepared for her by Xie Yuner and wiped Chen Xi's tears with her handkerchief.

"Xiaowen, I'm so good." Chen Xi smiled and touched Yin Wen's face.

"No"

Yin Wen said, his face was shy, but he naturally drowned his head into Chen Xi's arms. After being praised by Chen Xi, the little girl would be shy and she knew more and more about asking Chen Xi for her care.

Chen Xidao: "Stay at home obediently. I have something to do. I will tell you a story when I come back."

"Uh-huh."

Like Lin Dai, Yin Wen also likes to listen to stories, but what she likes to listen to is not the stories of princesses and princes, but fairy tales such as sika deer, little white rabbit, big bad wolf, etc., and she will always be immersed in endless imagination and can't extricate herself.

Chen Xi had known from Yu Niang that Yin Wen's grandmother and parents were about to arrive in the capital.

The old shopkeeper of the Yin family died in prison. The Yin family suffered a lot. After the Yin family held the funeral, Chen Xi brought Yin Wen's grandmother and parents to the capital, hoping that Yin Wen would not only have his companionship, but also relatives around him, so that the little girl would always be so happy.

But until now, Chen Xi did not dare to tell the little girl about Manager Yin’s death.
