Chapter 1335 Rainy Night (7) (Additional update for the leader "How are you, my dear")
Cheng Wu couldn't understand what they were saying...
But it doesn't matter, he always follows Fang Jun's lead and is obedient!
"I'll organize people to climb over the wall and set a fire. It's just...it rained all day today, and the wood is too moist. I'm afraid it won't be easy to set the fire, and it won't be too big if it is set." Cheng Wuting scratched his head. , today is really not a good weather to set fire to.
Wang Xuance said: "What's so difficult about this? Just bring a few more people and prepare a few more barrels of kerosene."
Cheng Wu's eyelids twitched wildly. These two guys were really more fearless than the other...
However, the fact of setting fire did not indicate the technical level. He immediately ordered people to quickly get kerosene and organized more than twenty skilled hands to climb over the wall and set fire.
Wang Xuance warned again: "Take off all your official clothes, don't bump into anyone and have your identity revealed. Also, after entering, set a fire while shouting, 'Stop the demolition' and 'Give me the East City'... It's the bastards inside now." Listen to those who are shouting, remember a few words, and start shouting while setting fire.”
Cheng Wu stood up and said: "This is too bad..."
Having said that, he immediately waved his hand and ordered people to go in and set fire.
Seeing these patrol officers with quick hands climbing up the wall of the square like monkeys on ropes, and then climbing over the wall into Xuanyang Square, Wang Xuance said: "When the fire breaks out, we will immediately enter Dongshi to arrest people. The crime is to gather a crowd to cause trouble and commit arson!”
Fang Jun nodded with satisfaction, looked at the top of the square wall where the patrolman disappeared, and asked: "Have any important ministers or relatives ever lived in Xuanyang Square?"
Wang Xuance was not sure. He thought about it and said uncertainly: "Probably...it seems...Liu Ji, the censor and censor, lives here, right?"
Fang Jun was slightly startled...
Liu Jie?
Haha, what a coincidence...
*****
The night rain is pouring, and a lamp is like a bean.
In the study, Liu Ji put down the brush in his hand, rubbed his sour eyes, picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip. After drinking the warm and fragrant tea, I felt refreshed. Then I put down the tea cup, picked up the memorial I had written and read it carefully to see if there were any omissions in the wording and sentence making, and whether the intention and writing were biased.
After checking it word by word and line by line, he found no omissions. Liu Ji proudly folded the board neatly and placed it on his desk, waiting to be presented to His Majesty in the morning. Generally, memorials need to be submitted to the Political Affairs Hall first. After being reviewed by the ministers and assistants, they will be submitted to His Majesty's desk. Liu Jie is one of the few bigwigs in the Censor's office who manages books and serves as the Censor. Naturally, he has the power to present memorials directly to His Majesty.
He ordered the maid to make another pot of hot tea. Liu Jie did not go to wash up and go to bed. Instead, he continued to sit in the study, sipping tea and planning how to deal with the morning meeting tomorrow and how to cooperate with Changsun Wuji. , Xiao Yu and others, how to drive Fang Jun out of Chang'an and the capital, and how to seize their own interests...
Censor Zhongcheng!
This is the position that Changsun Wuji and others promised to him. Once Fang Jun is overthrown, he, Liu Ji, will become the highest officer of Yushitai!
Liu Jie has no doubts about the ability of the family members. The Centipede Insect is still alive after his death, not to mention that he has just been suppressed by His Majesty? Although he was not as powerful as in the past, he was still powerful enough to make the emperor compromise.
Furthermore, he, Liu Jie, is currently in the limelight and is regarded by the people as a model of upright and famous official. He is more than enough to serve as the chief minister of the imperial censor for one term. Your Majesty will definitely not force himself to exclude himself from the position of the chief official of the imperial censor!
As for Fang Jun...
Liu Jie has not forgotten the punch that made him lose face and make him a laughing stock!
In the past, he could insist on supporting Fang Jun when he was imprisoned in order to gain fame. This definitely does not mean that Liu Ji has a broad mind and just laughs off his grudges! At that time, it was for profit to help Fang Jun. Now, it is still for profit to knock Fang Jun into the dust!
When the direction of interests and the goals of hatred are perfectly unified, what else needs to be considered?
Liu Ji went through the situations he might encounter tomorrow morning in his mind one by one, and thought clearly about how to respond and how to refute.
The overall situation has been decided.
Relax your body and lean back on the chair, pick up the tea cup and take a sip...
"Bang!"
The door was suddenly knocked open, and the loud noise made Liu Jie suddenly startle. He swallowed the hot tea that he had just drank in his mouth. It made his mouth hurt, his tongue hurt, and even his esophagus was on fire. He said angrily. : "Insolent! Are there any more rules?"
The person who knocked on the door and walked in was an old steward of the mansion, with a panicked look on his face. He was startled by Liu Ji's loud shout, and said quickly: "Master, something bad is going on..."
Liu Jie angrily scolded: "Don't worry about anything, just be calm when things happen! Although a certain family is not a first-class family, it is also a family of etiquette and heirlooms of poems and books! How can such a panic be inappropriate? Is the sky falling? ”
How infuriating!
I see now that it is Yushi Zhongcheng, who is one of the most powerful men in the court, a first-class minister who has the power to inspect the officials and hear the news, but the servants in the house are so uneducated that they panic when something happens, and spread the word. Isn’t that just making other people’s teeth laugh off their faces?
The old steward looked at Liu Ji's eyes, trembled with fright, and said with a sad face: "The sky has not fallen... but the house is on fire!"
Liu Jie said angrily: "What could be more important than the sky falling? Since the sky is not falling, you must behave yourself and pay attention to etiquette, and don't become a laughing stock... Wait, what did you just say?"
After a few words of instruction, Liu Ji finally realized what the old steward said... Is it on fire?
The old steward was almost dying of anxiety, and he stamped his feet and said: "Master, please go out and take a look. You have a lot of time to teach this slave, but there is a fire in the backyard, and the fire is very big!"
Liu Ji suddenly changed his color and became furious: "Fire and water are ruthless. A fire in your home is such a big deal, but you still have the time to talk to me like this? What a bastard!"
In a panic, he picked up a coat hanging on the chair and put it on. He didn't have time to put on his raincoat and hold an umbrella, so he ran out of the study in a hurry.
As soon as he came out, he noticed that the backyard was red. Liu Jie was so frightened that his liver trembled. He quickly ran around the yard and ran to the backyard. He saw that several houses were already on fire. It was raining but could not put out the fire. The fire only spread from the house. It ignited internally, and when it reached the outside, it was drizzled with rain, and black smoke billowed up. The situation was horrific.
While the black smoke was billowing, words such as "Give me back Dongshi", "Evict Fang Jun", "Resist demolition" and so on were heard one after another. The servants and maids in the mansion were panicking and running back and forth with buckets to put out the fire. It was a mess. ……
Liu Ji was so angry that he almost lost his temper!
The dignified house of the Censor, the Censor...oh, it turns out to be the Censor Zhongcheng, and someone actually sneaked into it and set it on fire?
It’s so deceiving!
The old steward ran from behind, opened the umbrella in his hand and put it over Liu Jie's head, and asked in a trembling voice: "It seems that there are people gathering and making trouble in Dongshi. Could it be that those troublemakers took advantage of the chaos and set fires everywhere?"< br>
Liu Ji's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Fart! They are all small businessmen and hawkers. They have kidnapped a few people at most. How dare they go to the homes of important officials and set fire to them after eating leopards? You are too impatient to do this! You After hearing the news, there were people everywhere asking, this is obviously a well-prepared and long-planned conspiracy!”
The old steward was a little confused: "Then these people..."
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It must be those aristocratic families who caused these thugs to come to a certain house and set fire to it!"
The old steward didn't know that Liu Jie was colluding with the aristocratic family members to frame Fang Jun, and he didn't understand why those aristocratic family members came to his house to set fire. He just wondered: "If this is true, why are you still shouting those slogans? Doesn’t this mean that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, exposing their identities?”
Liu Ji's eyes widened and he felt a sigh of relief in his chest, but this time there was no explanation.
You must never tell anyone about your connections with the noble family, even to the most trusted servants around you...
As for the fact that there is no three hundred taels of silver here...do you think I, Liu Jie, am a fool?
With the insidiousness and cunningness of Changsun Wuji and those people, they have a lot of thoughts!
If there is any direct evidence that these murderers are soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion and Fang Jun's subordinates, I will definitely become suspicious, because Fang Jun is not stupid either! After doing something bad and setting a fire, who would reveal their own lies and wait to be held accountable?
But now that these thugs are shouting slogans to boycott Fang Jun, there are more tricks in it...
Liu Ji squinted his eyes and began to figure out the "truth" of the whole process...
I’ve been extremely busy after the New Year, and I haven’t had time to update my friends with “How are you, dear?” I’m sorry. I will add one update today, and I will add it later when I have time. It must be five, seven, or six times anyway. I also want to say thank you to my friends for their support, thank you!
