Chapter 1259 Justice from Heaven
Ye Qianning's eyes were deep. The secret guards of Changyang Palace must be tracking down all the palace maids and nannies who served the biological mother of Emperor Beili.
After Emperor Beili came to power, he killed many palace maids and nannies, but no matter how many he killed, there were always omissions.
When the concubine became pregnant with the prince, the emperor sent many people to the palace. Decades later, many of them had already left the palace. Even though Emperor Beili wanted to, he did not dare to investigate many people openly.
There are always many omissions in the dark.
If the people sent by Prince Changyang to investigate make Emperor Beili aware of something, he will definitely take action against Prince Changyang's Palace first.
Since the matter has not yet reached the point of being made public, Ye Qianning would not let Emperor Beili be the first to notice it.
Ye Qianning stood up and walked to the table. He picked up a pen and wrote five letters. He then found five high-quality jade pendants from his space and stuffed them into the envelopes. "Luo Wen, send some skilled soldiers to avoid the spies and deliver these letters out of the capital."
"yes."
Luo Wen put the letter away and left the room.
Ye Qianning wrote another letter and gave it to Yingge: "You go and deliver it yourself."
"Miss, I'm leaving. Please make sure there are more people around you." Ever since Yingge returned to Ye Qianning's side, she has been by her side all the time, always on guard.
Now if I leave, it will take at least a month for me to come back, which makes me really worried.
"In a few days, the people from the Crescent Moon Sect will arrive in the capital."
"Yes, I will go and come back quickly."
After hearing this, Yingge and the Xianyue Sect left with peace of mind.
Ye Qianning walked out of the room, stood on the corridor, and looked up towards the east.
The moonlight shines across the sky, and the stars sparkle brightly.
A breeze blew by, bringing with it a hint of heat.
The weather is dry and fire is likely to start.
At night, under the starry sky, a bolt of thunder suddenly exploded in the air.
A bolt of lightning struck the east, and in an instant the red light gradually grew larger.
The light grew brighter and brighter, and thick white smoke billowed up.
The noisy sounds in my ears became louder and louder.
It was destined to be an uneasy night.
A huge fire broke out, and half the sky in the east was burned red.
Amidst the clamor in the capital, Ye Qianning was sleeping soundly in the space.
The next day.
Early in the morning, the people living in the two streets in front and behind Huaiyang Road in the east of Beijing had hardly slept all night. The smell of burning filled the air and did not dissipate for a long time.
Many people, covered in dust, were sitting on both sides of the street, and many people who were watching the fun gathered on the street.
Everyone looked at the mansion burned to ashes with shock.
"There was such a commotion yesterday that I thought everything was burned down."
"That's right. We were so scared that people in the two blocks ahead and behind us didn't dare to sleep."
"I packed up all my belongings and was ready to run away, but I didn't expect the fire to spread."
"Hiss, look at what you said, do you still want the fire to spread?"
"How can that be? This is not the end of the story."
"That's true. Fortunately, the fire didn't spread. If it had, it would have just burned the Minister's residence."
"Forehead……"
One word caused a huge uproar, and everyone looked towards the office of the Minister of History again.
The huge fire only burned the Minister's residence, while the yards of the houses next door were unharmed except for being blackened.
That's strange.
Someone came from the government office, and the head of the government office came with a team of guards.
Standing in front of the door of the Minister's Mansion which had been burned into a mess, he looked around in a daze for a moment before looking at the people in the Minister's Mansion who had escaped from the fire.
"Are there any casualties?"
Li Wei, the Minister of Personnel, led the entire mansion staff standing nearby. Upon hearing the question, Li Wei stepped forward and shook his head with a look of relief, "Luckily, everyone in the mansion was awakened by the loud thunder before the fire started, and we were lucky enough to escape without any casualties."
The official from the government office also heard the loud noise yesterday. He turned back to look at the mansion that was almost flattened to the ground, frowning, "The stars are so bright, but thunder on a sunny day is really rare."
Li Wei sighed, his face filled with worry.
A fire broke out suddenly at night. The fire burned extremely fiercely. In the panic, nothing was taken out of the house and everything was burned.
The huge family business was completely burned down.
The residence of the Minister of Personnel was struck by lightning on a sunny day, sparks flew, and the entire residence caught fire in an instant.
Although the fire was big, it did not spread except to the Minister's Mansion. It burned one mansion and then slowly went out. This scene surprised everyone.
In just one morning, the news spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital.
The deafening sound at night almost woke up everyone in the capital. Faced with such a strange thing, everyone discussed it heatedly.
"I didn't sleep yesterday and saw it with all my heart. A flash of lightning struck from the horizon all the way to the east of the city. The light was so dazzling it was scary."
"Yes, I saw it too. It's a clear, sunny day with bright stars, but there was thunder. I've never heard of that."
"The thunderbolt struck directly into the Minister's residence, and the fire burned it to ashes in the middle of the night."
"Don't exaggerate. How could a mansion be burned to ashes in the middle of the night?"
"If you don't believe me, just go to East Street and you'll see. That's heavenly fire, burning very quickly. It seems like the fire is only burning the Minister's Mansion."
"How do you say that?"
The people around were curious when they heard this, and they all gathered together in a blink of an eye.
"It's really mysterious. The sky fire was raging, and there was wind yesterday. Logically, the two streets in front and behind should not be able to escape such a big fire. But the sky fire went out automatically when it reached the wall of the Minister's Mansion. The houses next to it were not affected, but only the Minister's Mansion was burned down. Don't you think it's strange?" The middle-aged man spoke in a hoarse voice as if he was telling a story.
"Really?"
Some people don't believe it.
"Really? If you don't believe me, just go and see for yourself."
It was rare for everyone to hear such a strange thing, so after the man finished speaking, they all stood up and prepared to go to the Minister's residence to see what was going on.
West of the city.
The people living in the west of the city were all scholars, and they could also hear the deafening noise at night.
Soon, I saw flames rising to the sky in the city, and after breakfast, I heard rumors coming from the streets.
Thunder struck the Minister's mansion, and the fire died out without being put out.
It's really unbelievable.
"Could it be that the Minister of History did something sinister and irritated the heavens?"
"Maybe it's true, otherwise why would the fire only burn their house?"
A group of scholars gathered together and were discussing something lively.
Zhan Yi came over with a group of people and said, "Stop exaggerating. You are all educated scholars after all. How could you believe such a thing?"
"Behead the master."
"Behead the master."
A group of scholars saw the visitor and bowed in greeting.
"There is no such thing as being struck by lightning. It's all nonsense." Zhan Yi never believed in these things. If there was lightning that struck him for doing something wrong, the person in the palace would have been struck countless times.
Upon hearing this, a group of young scholars looked at each other, and none of them wanted to refute Master Zhan's words, so they smiled and agreed.
"Pack up your tents and belongings later," Zhan Yi said.
"Where are we going to stay after we pack up the tent?"
"Your tents are flimsy and can't withstand even a little wind and rain. Someone will be coming to set up a temporary shelter at noon. Please pack up your tents and make room." Zhan Yi said, turning around and ordering the servants at the back, "Clean up this area. When the materials arrive, we'll start building right away."
