Chapter 1040： sky-high fire

Zhou Shuren's carriage ran alongside the prince's carriage, the curtains were drawn, and the prince did not intend to stop.

The prince leaned against the carriage window, "Master Zhou went to the yamen to return to the mansion?"

Zhou Shuren thought in his heart that today's crown prince didn't know what to do, "Yes, I will go home."

The Crown Prince chuckled, "It was common for ministers of the Ministry of Household to live in the Ministry of Households. Since Lord Zhou served in the Ministry of Households, there have been very few Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites in the Sixth Division are all under one hour. yamen."

Zhou Shuren felt guilty, as if he was the one leading the charge, but he had the confidence, "The Ministry of Households is very efficient."

His Royal Highness smiled, and then the carriage stopped, and the prince said, "I'm alone."

Zhou Shuren was stunned, because after staggering the carriage, he saw the mansion surrounded by officers and soldiers. This mansion was not known to everyone in the capital. It was different from the ruins of the Rong Mansion. Although it was deserted, the buildings were intact.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already got off the carriage, Zhou Shuren stretched his neck and looked back, the Prince integrated the generals of the guarding camp to speak, and when he was far away, Zhou Shuren retracted his head.

This house is the ancestral home of the Zhang family. Back then, the Zhang family was sacked and the house was occupied. After the establishment of the dynasty, the family that occupied the house died in the broken capital, and the emperor ascended the throne. Who dares to have this house, who dares Live, so it has been abandoned.

On the other side, Changzhi and his party arrived at the county seat of Shanxian County. Changzhi got off the carriage and rubbed his waist, "It's been a long time since I've been out of the house, and I'm still not used to it when I'm rushing on the road, and it's uncomfortable to change."

As soon as Su Xuan left the capital, she was thinking about her son and daughter. After a few days of driving, Su Xuan didn't think about anything. "Since I married you, I haven't run around. I'm more uncomfortable than you."

Especially in order to go back quickly, there is not much luggage, the carriage is moving so fast, and the bones are scattered.

Jiang Sheng also got off the carriage, "There is an inn today, Changzhi, let's go first."

Changzhi looked at the little servant and the maid who were busy inside and out, "Don't rush to the guest room, let's have dinner below, we haven't eaten anything hot all day."

Su Xuan couldn't stand the smell on her body. She thought of the hot soup and struggled, "Okay, let's eat first."

This inn is the best one in the county. There are a lot of people in the inn. Su Xuan and her party came in and attracted attention.

Jiang Sheng was a little uncomfortable. He was not used to being scrutinized by so many eyes. He looked at Chang Zhi, but Chang Zhi ordered the food very naturally, and was already holding the hot tea sent by Xiao Er to scald the cup.

Changzhi noticed his brother-in-law's discomfort, and first handed the hot tea cup to his daughter-in-law, and then to his brother-in-law, and whispered, "Brother-in-law, you have to get used to it."

He knew that his sister and brother-in-law had no ambitions, but he still had to get used to some occasions. After his brother-in-law came to Beijing, he had been studying, and his brothers did not take his brother-in-law out. This time was different. write.

Jiang Sheng took a sip of tea and nodded, "I will adapt."

He is not ignorant.

In the capital, when Zhou Shuren came back, he saw his daughter-in-law teasing Yuwen, "Did you win today? Or did Yuwen win?"

Zhulan looked at her granddaughter who was lying still, and smiled, "Of course I won. This girl likes sweets. She doesn't walk around the yard twice, and there is no candy to eat."

Zhou Shuren looked sympathetically at his granddaughter, who had no love for her. In the past, her granddaughter was not in the hands of her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law didn't care. Now it's miserable. No one in our family can beat your grandma, so you should accept your fate."

Yuwen sat up slowly, "Dad said that grandpa is also afraid of grandma, and granddaughter listens to grandma."

Zhou Shuren, "..."

These stinky boys often quoted him in front of the children.

The food was ready soon, and the Zhou family was about to eat when the housekeeper rushed over, "Fire, fire, sir, the fire is soaring into the sky."

Zhou Shuren groaned in his heart, "Where is the fire?"

The housekeeper swallowed, "I don't know whose house is in the west direction."

When Zhulan heard this, "Hurry up and send someone to take a look."

Zhulan followed Zhou Shuren to the yard. Standing in her own yard, she could see the sky-high flames. Zhulan felt relieved at the same time. Fortunately, it was far away from Zhou's house. .

Zhou Shuren motioned for the boss to move the table over, then stepped on the chair and got on the table, carefully identifying the direction, Zhou Shuren pursed his lips.

Boss Zhou hurriedly asked, "Dad, who do you feel?"

Boss Zhou looked at the fire in the distance with fear in his heart. This fire didn't give people a chance to escape at all, it was too terrifying.

By the way, the app I've been using recently, [Change Source Artifact APP] Android and Apple phones are all supported!

Zhou Shuren said, "It should be the abandoned mansion of the Zhang family."

Did the prince set fire to it? No, without the emperor's order, the prince would not dare to burn down the former Zhang residence.

Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment. He knew Zhang Mansion. When he passed by, he still thought about who is so extravagant, and such a big mansion was deserted. After inquiring later, he didn't dare to think about it.

Boss Zhou's voice was a little loud, "Why did it happen?"

Seeing his father looking at him, he hurriedly shut his mouth I didn't catch my breath, grabbed it, and kept coughing.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to talk, "Okay, go back to dinner."

Everyone in the Zhou family was absent-minded when they ate. After so much experience, the pure Li family knew that it was not easy. Although he didn't panic, he felt depressed.

Halfway through the meal, the housekeeper came back and reported, "The burning is the abandoned Zhang's mansion, and there are officers and soldiers guarding it outside the mansion, so the servant did not dare to approach."

Zhou Shuren's mind turned quickly, "Are there many officers and soldiers guarding?"

The housekeeper replied, "A lot, the little servant reports a few steps to an officer and soldier."

Zhou Shuren couldn't understand why the emperor wanted to burn Zhang's mansion. It should have been burnt long ago. It was obvious that he didn't want to burn it until now, but now it was burned again. Zhou Shuren motioned for the housekeeper to go down.

After dinner, they all returned to the courtyard, and Zhulan asked, "Did you know there were officers and soldiers from the beginning?"

Zhou Shuren nodded, "When I came back, I met the prince and saw the officers and soldiers guarding me. I never thought about what to do, but I didn't expect it to be a fire. No one put out the fire. The huge building complex will burn for a day or two. "

Zhulan was terrified of the fire, "Now that I see the fire, I can see the fire that killed the Rong clan."

Zhou Shuren snorted, "I just can't figure out why the emperor suddenly set fire to it."

Zhulan also couldn't understand, "Speaking of hatred, it should have ended when the Zhang family was full of censorship."

Don't say that Zhou Shuren didn't understand, the whole capital didn't understand. Since the fire broke out, they all sent people to inquire.

After several princes knew that the prince was coming, they even came in person.

The prince found by King Qi in the teahouse, King Qi didn't talk nonsense, "Father's order?"
