Lu Changgong nodded and shook his head. Su Sijin was confused. "What do you mean?"
Lu Changgong smiled and pulled her into his arms, nuzzling her. "He's from Jingyun Pavilion, and Feicheng Pawnshop is a secret agent of Jingyun Pavilion. He doesn't know my true identity, but only knows that I'm highly regarded by their Pavilion Master."
"So, is your Jingyun Pavilion so powerful?"
No, if a secret agent under Jingyun Pavilion is so powerful, then was Jingyun Pavilion really taken down so easily before?
Su Sijin smelled something unusual and narrowed her eyes.
"You can even buy back firearms? Then how could you have been wiped out by someone else before?"
Lu Changgong grinned, and Su Sijin rolled her eyes at him. "I know you have white teeth, so tell me what's going on."
Su Sijin was doing something evil on his waist, Lu Changgong grabbed his hand and begged for mercy.
"Okay, okay, I say."
Su Sijin looked up at him, waiting for him to reveal his conspiracy.
"In fact, the people who were attacked and killed in Jingyun Pavilion that night were not from Jingyun Pavilion, but bandits."
Su Sijin's face was filled with disbelief. "So, you knew from the beginning that there was a traitor in the pavilion, and you knew who it was?"
Then he would use the same trick against Jingyun Pavilion and make it disappear from the world's attention, giving it a chance to catch its breath, and then make a comeback when the time comes.
The information that the prince obtained was actually given to him by Jingyun Pavilion.
Even the resignation of Emperor Yuande was planned by Lu Changgong.
The prince's ascension to the throne was also part of Lu Changgong's plan.
Judging from the current situation, Emperor Xuantong's resignation was also part of Lu Changgong's plan, but she couldn't figure it out...
"Why go through so much trouble? Why not just let Emperor Yuande and Emperor Xuantong kill each other and then sit back and reap the benefits?"
Lu Changgong rubbed her hair in appreciation, the love in his eyes was straightforward and explicit. He knew that Su Sijin was very smart, but he didn't expect her to be so smart.
"The original plan was this, provided I didn't disappear."
Su Sijin suddenly realized, "If you disappear, it means that you may be in great danger, and a pedantic plan is needed to stabilize the situation in Dayue."
"It will prevent Dai Viet from falling into complete chaos and save the people from suffering from chaos, displacement and misery."
"If you and the Third Prince disappear from now on, then Jingyun Pavilion will be hidden from view, and Emperor Xuantong will govern Dai Viet."
"But if you and the Third Prince reappear, it will be the time when Emperor Xuantong steps down. It turns out that you had already joined another wise ruler a long time ago. The current situation was all calculated by you!"
Su Sijin's expression was indifferent. Lu Changgong couldn't grasp what she meant for a moment. He asked anxiously, "Ajin, do you think I'm calculating?"
"Pfft!" Su Sijin covered her mouth and laughed secretly, "What are you thinking about? I would rather you be calculating than be harmed by others again."
"If you can't learn from your mistakes, I despise you."
Lu Changgong was so amused that he held her in his arms and chased her with a smile.
The two of them stayed together for a while before Su Sijin said to Lu Changgong, "I'll give you all the finished medicine for external injuries. How much food do you want? How many firearms do you want? Take as much as you want, and I'll take the rest."
"I'll just take some medicine with me."
"Don't want food? Don't want firearms either?" This made Su Sijin confused.
"Although there may be civil unrest in Dai Viet, there won't be a war." If his estimate was correct, the capital city was already in chaos.
"Okay, since you don't need them, I'll take them all away!" Although Su Sijin seemed to be asking for Lu Changgong's opinion, she had already started to put them into the space.
In an instant, all the food and firearms disappeared. "The finished trauma medicine is left to you."
After Liu Junyan sent Lu Changgong and Su Sijin away, when he saw the empty warehouse, his legs were so weak that he couldn't walk.
But he was frightened, as if he had seen a ghost.
Otherwise, how to explain the huge granary and weapons depot being empty? If Su Sijin and Lu Changgong had not just arrived, he would have been wiped out.
*
Just as Lu Changgong had expected, the capital city was in complete chaos.
Overnight, Duke Shen and his wife were assassinated in Qingyuan Temple, the residence of the Minister of Justice was massacred, and even the residence of Marquis Yongyi was burned down.
The house of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was massacred, the house of the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple was massacred, and in one night, eight houses of officials appointed by the imperial court were massacred and burned.
The mansion where the victims were massacred was finally reduced to ashes by a fire, and even the bodies were burned to ashes, without even a trace of bones left.
A huge fire wiped out all traces.
That night, the sky was illuminated by flames. Even though the noise was so great, the capital was eerily silent. The people in the capital seemed to be dead, and no one came out to shout.
Until the dawn, the earth-shattering cries of fear "resurrected" the quiet capital.
The people rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked at the thick smoke in the distance, not just in one place, but in many places.
Then, the common people rushed to rescue with pale faces, but... it was too late. The huge mansion was burned to ashes, and thick smoke was still rising from the houses.
"This is the Emperor's territory! Who is so audacious as to slaughter a minister's residence and kill everyone in it?"
"God damn it! The residences of eight high-ranking officials, including the Marquis of Yongyi, the Minister of Justice, and the Vice Minister, were all massacred and destroyed overnight."
"With such a big commotion, why didn't anyone notice it last night?"
"They ignored the other mansions on either side of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion and burned it down. Could this be a vendetta?"
"Regardless of whether it's a vendetta or not, there was such a big commotion and no one noticed. Don't you think this is weird?"
"That's right, it doesn't make sense that even the people living nearby didn't notice it."
The people were talking about their own opinions.
"I felt sleepy after dinner last night and slept like a dead sleeper, as if I had been drugged."
Yes, I went to bed right after dinner and didn’t even wash the dishes.”
"Me too."
"Me too. This is so wrong. Could it be that we've all been drugged? But so many people in the capital are like this. How did the thief do it?"
"Could it be... a ghost?" a slightly plump woman said shockingly.
The fat woman's words immediately resonated with everyone.
"Ah! From what you said, it seems that only ghosts can explain it."
"Is it a ghost taking my life?" The slightly plump woman rolled her eyes, as if trying to change the subject.
"Could it be that this is really a wronged ghost seeking revenge?"
More and more people joined in the discussion, changing the initial direction of the discussion again and again.
Of course there are people who disagree.
"This... can't be! The Marquis of Yongyi, the Minister of Justice, and the Vice Minister of Personnel are all good officials, honest officials, and they are the parents of the country. I don't believe it, and I certainly don't believe in the idea of locking up wronged souls."
"So, you are their accomplice. I will beat you to death as an accomplice."
After the slightly plump woman finished speaking, she started punching and kicking the man, and those who didn't know the truth followed suit and committed violence.
