There was quite a lot of debris, and it was estimated that more than ten people were burned to death.
The onlookers were talking about it.
"I just saw a lot of people go in, at least 20 or 30 people. I don't know what they are gathering for."
"Could their burning to death have been intentional? I remember this family's daughter was once bullied by the empress in the palace and later died.
"Hasn't a group of people gathered at the palace gate these days to ask the emperor to make a decision for them? They are the same group of people gathered in the house!"
"Oh my god! Then, then, could it be that their deaths weren't accidents, but were caused by human intervention?"
"There are traces of oil here! It was definitely man-made! Someone poured oil around the outside of the house and set it on fire. Otherwise, the fire wouldn't be this big!"
Someone noticed the traces of oil and exclaimed in surprise.
The officials exchanged glances and asked the onlookers to leave.
Even after the people left, they were still whispering about it.
Everyone was wondering if the fire was set by the Prime Minister's mother.
After all, it is well known that the prime minister's mother was willing to kill her unborn grandson for the sake of her niece, and even fed her daughter-in-law contraceptive soup for more than ten years!
The government officials handled the scene and left.
At the same time, in Prince Kang’s Mansion.
King Kang felt a headache when he saw the more than 30 people in front of him who were still dazed after escaping death.
After dinner in the evening, he and his wife discovered that their daughter had another prophetic dream.
The daughter was shouting in her heart, "What a big fire!"
Maybe the little girl was a little confused in her sleep, she only talked about the location of the fire, who the people surrounded by the fire were, and how they died miserably, and nothing else.
The fire might not have caused any harm to their Prince Kang's Mansion, so the daughter cried for a while and then fell asleep again.
He thought that was the end of it.
But his wife suddenly asked him seriously to send someone to rescue the thirty or so people from the fire scene.
And it must be done quietly, no one should know that these people have been rescued.
He knew what the lady meant, which was to make these thirty people fake their deaths.
But why do this?
He didn't understand it at first, but his body obeyed his wife's words faster than his brain and went to instruct the guards.
The process of rescuing these thirty or so people was very smooth. They indeed deceived the surrounding people and the government officials, and successfully brought these thirty or so people back to Prince Kang's Palace.
But here comes the problem.
With so many people, how should we accommodate them next?
He knew that there were many spies in the mansion, and it would be impossible to conceal the sudden increase of more than 30 people in the mansion.
Anyone with more intelligence could also match the thirty-odd people who died with the thirty-odd people who appeared in his house.
King Kang sighed inwardly with a sad face.
Ye Peizhu comforted her daughter who had cried twice, and when she heard that the guards had rescued the person, she came to this room.
This is the dark room in Prince Kang’s Mansion, which was only recently cleaned out.
I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.
When King Kang saw his wife coming, he walked up to her and grabbed her sleeve, looking aggrieved, and asked in a low voice.
"Madam, now that the person has been rescued, what should we do?"
Ye Peizhu couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, there is always a way."
She patted the back of King Kang's hand and looked at the people who were still in a daze.
"Everyone, how do you want to live from now on?"
Ye Peizhu's question brought the people back to their senses.
They were angry, but they didn't know who their enemy was.
"Your Majesty, Princess, you two saved me and the others, you are our saviors!
I am already a dead person in this world, and from now on my life belongs to you two!
Whatever you two want me to do, I will obey!"
One of them, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes but very thin, stood up and spoke in a loud voice.
He seemed to be the leader of the group. After he said this, the rest of the people followed suit.
Ye Peizhu nodded, "Since you said so, then this princess will not beat around the bush with you.
It was purely an accident that the prince and I saved you, but since we saved you, we should also be responsible for your lives.
Now we don't know who wants your lives.
If you show up rashly, you will most likely die.
The prince will send you out of the capital and go to Jiangnan. The prince has a manor in Jiangnan where you can live. After that, you can find a job or start your own business and find ways to make money.
How about I split the money I earn with the prince 50-50?
Of course, those who are unwilling can also stand up, and the prince will also send you out of the capital, but we will not care about what happens after that."
Upon hearing this, everyone, including King Kang, was a little puzzled.
Prince Kang was even thinking about the assets in his mansion.
Is the Prince Kang's Mansion so poor that they need someone to help them make money?
More than thirty people had the same idea.
"Your Highness, Princess, there's no need to split it 50-50. I can give all the money I earn to you two!
I am now alone. If I eat well, my family will not be hungry. I am still alive thanks to you two! As long as I have a place to live and food to eat, that is enough!"
The middle-aged man spoke again.
Ye Peizhu smiled lightly, "Then 46 points, it can't be any less. After you make your decision, we will sign the contract.
We won't let you sign a contract to sell your bodies, so you need to decide for yourself whether to go to Jiangnan or not."
Ye Peizhu gave everyone time to think about it, asked Qiuyun to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote the contract personally.
In the end, all thirty-six people signed the contract.
Ye Peizhu asked them to rest in the dark room for a while, and then she and King Kang left first.
Returning to Qingzhu Courtyard, King Kang asked his own questions.
"Madam, do we have little money left?"
The family's money is managed by his wife, and he really doesn't know much about it.
Ye Peizhu smiled softly with her eyebrows curved. Looking at her husband's serious expression, she decided not to tell him the reason why she did this.
She was afraid that telling him would scare him.
It's not the right time yet.
But there are some things she can arrange in advance.
“Your Majesty, no one would think that their family has too much money.
Apart from your salary, our family has no other income. The children are growing up, and it is almost time for the eldest to get married.
Money is needed everywhere. Although we are not very tight on money, it is always good to have more income.
If we leave those thirty-six people in the capital, it will be very dangerous for them and for us.
How about sending them to Jiangnan? What do you think, Your Highness? Or do you think I acted on my own this time?"
