Chapter 819 Falling Apart
He was angry and afraid, and finally he simply set a fire, trying to burn Ye Jiu Ming and the entire Xi Xiang Pavilion.
As long as Ye Jiu Ming dies, Xi Xiang Pavilion will be gone.
No one in this world could know that Duke Hong was colluding with Xueyu Tower.
The fire burned down the entire Xixiang Pavilion and killed many people.
But Ye Jiu Ming was not burned to death.
He took advantage of the chaos and ran away.
Also running away with him was the madam of Xixiang House.
Afterwards, the government counted the casualties in the fire, but did not find the madam. They thought she had died in the fire, so they listed her name on the list of deaths.
When Duke Hong learned that the madam had died, he thought Ye Jiu Ming was dead like her.
Now that his biggest worry had been resolved, he naturally felt relieved.
When Luo Yechen saw this, he couldn't help but get very annoyed.
"It turns out that the fire was set by Duke Hong. No wonder he refused to say a word afterwards. Others thought he had gained enlightenment after experiencing a life-and-death ordeal and knew he had to keep a low profile. In fact, he was just guilty!"
He worked himself into a sweat while putting out the fire, and some soldiers were injured in the process.
They worked so hard to put out the fire, but it turned out that they were cleaning up the mess made by Duke Hong.
They shouldn't have saved Duke Hong in the first place, they should have let the old guy die in the fire!
Bu Shengyan was still looking down.
After Ye Jiu Ming and the madam escaped, they immediately summoned all the killers still in the city.
Now that Xixiang Pavilion is gone, they can no longer stay in Shengjing City.
But they couldn't bear to leave like this.
So Ye Jiu Ming prepared to plan a kidnapping.
He wanted to use the kidnapping case to drag Duke Hong into the water.
An ordinary kidnapping case would not affect Duke Hong at all. It just so happened that the city was hotly discussing the storytelling competition recently, so Ye Jiu Ming set his sights on the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine is deeply favored by the emperor and is also the princess of Nanyue.
If she could be kidnapped, it would definitely cause the emperor's anger and tension.
Ye Jiuming guessed that on the last day of the storytelling competition, the imperial concubine would definitely leave the palace to find the King of England.
So he led his men to ambush on the road that the imperial concubine had to take to return to the palace.
Originally, he only wanted to kidnap the concubine, but he didn't expect the King of England was there too, so he kidnapped the King of England as well.
With a royal concubine and a King of England, this kidnapping case will surely alarm the entire Shengjing City.
Luo Yechen's temper immediately flared up.
"After all this time, I'm just a bystander?!"
Bu Shengyan hit him on the arm, signaling him to be quiet.
According to Ye Jiuming's plan, they would pretend to be casual and reveal their relationship with Duke Hong, so that the imperial concubine and King Ying would mistakenly believe that Duke Hong was the instigator of the kidnapping.
Then they would use the imperial concubine and the King of England to create chaos near the city gate, and then they would take advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the city.
They were able to escape, but the Imperial Concubine and the King of England would definitely not let Duke Hong go when they returned.
Considering the emperor's favor towards the imperial concubine, and the assistance of the king of England, even if the Duke of Hongguo didn't die, he would be badly injured.
This can be considered as revenge for Duke Hong's setting fire to Xixiang Pavilion.
However.
The plan is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
They underestimated the imperial concubine's strength.
This woman looks like a useless dodder, but her fighting power is terrifyingly high, and even drugs have no effect on her.
Ye Jiuming's plan was messed up by her, and even his true identity was exposed by her.
She even attracted government soldiers and wiped out all the assassins of Xueyu Tower in Shengjing City!
Those are the elite killers of the Blood Rain Tower.
Now that they have all been captured, it means that the entire Blood Rain Tower will fall apart.
The killer organization Xueyulou has been completely wiped out from the world.
Luo Yechen returned the confession to the emperor and said with gritted teeth.
"Although this kidnapping was not planned by Duke Hong, he is not a good person either. We must not let him off easily!"
Previously, he was ambushed by assassins from the Blood Rain Tower in the nunnery and almost died there.
He still remembers this account.
Xueyu Tower has always been in cahoots with Duke Hong, so Duke Hong has to bear half of the debt!
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "I know what's going on."
Since the leader Ye Jiuming had confessed, there was no need for the other kidnappers to hold out any longer. In order to suffer less physical pain, they all confessed.
Their confessions were basically consistent with Ye Jiumin's.
Luo Qinghan asked someone to keep the confessions and said to Shang Kui.
"Take your men and send these kidnappers to Jingzhao Prefecture. Tell the truth. There is no need to hide anything."
“Here!”
Midnight.
Mei Guangtao, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, was sleeping soundly when he suddenly received a notice to work overtime.
He banged his forehead against the bed in despair, making a loud clanging sound.
This life is unbearable, let him die!
Luo Qinghan carried the sleeping Xixi out of the courtyard and got into the carriage.
The carriage passed through the silent streets and rushed towards the palace.
It was already early morning.
The sky gradually turned pale.
The people were still sleeping soundly, unaware that just last night, a well-known killer organization disappeared.
When Xiao Xixi woke up, she found herself back in Yunxiu Palace.
There was a familiar bed beneath him, a soft quilt covering him, and even his clothes had been changed into pajamas.
She blinked her eyes, and after a long while, she slowly got up.
The palace maid waiting outside the door heard the noise and immediately went to inform Baoqin. Soon Baoqin came in with two little palace maids and began to help the imperial concubine wash and change clothes.
One of the palace maids pushed open the window, and the sunlight poured in, casting a golden glow on the ground.
Xiao Xixi yawned and asked dazedly.
"How did I get back?"
Baoqin wiped her face and said, "You were sent back by the emperor."
Xiao Xixi: "Where is the emperor?"
Baoqin: "The emperor has gone to the morning court."
Xiao Xixi calculated the time. The emperor had not slept all night and went to work early in the morning.
So dedicated!
After Xiao Xixi finished washing up and had breakfast, Concubine Min came to pay her respects as usual.
After Concubine Min left, Concubine Li and Concubine Yao also came.
Princess Li came to inquire about the storytelling competition.
Xiao Xixi did not keep the secret and directly asked someone to take out the brocade box and put it in front of Concubine Li.
"After the people's votes, 'One Hundred Ways to Kill a Scumbag' received the highest number of votes. Congratulations on becoming the winner. This is your prize. Open it and take a look."
Concubine Li and Concubine Yao were both stunned.
They never expected that the final winner would be Concubine Li!
Princess Li looked at the brocade box in front of her for a long time before she opened it with excitement.
Inside were two silver notes with a face value of one hundred taels, as well as a heavy gold medal.
