Chapter 860 Inn Fire
Things got serious, Liu Sanqiang and Dong Yue also wondered who was behind the scenes, and a group of people made a fuss in the Yamen.
Coincidentally, Ma Zhifu happened to be on duty.
Seeing that it was Liu Sanqiang who was regarded as a heartbroken man, he was so frightened that he almost knelt down.
What is even more unacceptable is that Dong Yue also came.
Why didn't he receive news that these two great gods are here?
He entertained him humbly, and then reprimanded the head catcher.
Butou heard that he was the general of Hussars, and his legs and feet began to tremble.
As a head catcher, he still has to hang around in front of his subordinates, so it's not too embarrassing.
The crux of the problem came, the woman who committed suicide was still clamoring outside, and the people surrounded the entire yamen.
Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang both shook their heads when they saw this scene.
As a magistrate, he has no dignity and is ridden on the head by the people. He can be an official.
I thought that Ma Zhifu had experienced Beihang for several years, and it was time to be transferred soon, so he could find a good job in the capital at that time.
Look at this scene, Xuan!
Soon, Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang found the answer to the matter.
It turned out that after the fifth prince came to Beihang, he was busy training a navy. Everyone knew about this. What they didn't know was that the Hu family was once the overlord of the sea. After the arrival of the fifth prince, he took over everything.
Controlling the shipping, and because of the status of the fifth prince, all Beihang officials have become decorations.
Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang were shocked by this news.
What is the fifth prince going to do?
What he did was definitely not as simple as defending the country.
Just as he was thinking of the Fifth Prince, the Fifth Prince came.
After arriving, look at the scene, and send a set of clothes to Dong Yue.
Liu Sanqiang has too much dissatisfaction with the fifth prince, and it must be very uncomfortable to think that Dong Yue's clothes are wet.
No rejection.
Ma Zhifu saw that the fifth prince personally delivered clothes to Dong Yue, Liu Sanqiang didn't even dare to fart.
Originally hoped that Liu Sanqiang would be able to hold the Fifth Prince, but seeing this, he suddenly felt hopeless.
Dong Yue saw them 'flickering', and took the clothes to find a place to change.
Ma Zhifu immediately asked his wife to take Dong Yue to the backyard.
Dong Yue didn't say a word, and only found out in the backyard that Ma Zhifu had been living behind the Yamen for these years, and there were many houses built behind the Yamen, which were also very luxurious.
While speaking, Dong Yue knew that these were built with the money of the Fifth Prince.
After Dong Yue took a bath, she changed into a suit of clothes and came to the front. She didn't know what happened during the time she was away, but she saw that the Fifth Prince and Liu Sanqiang had a bad face, and Ma Zhifu seemed to have done something wrong, with sweat dripping from his forehead.
The woman who committed suicide shut up, and the troublemakers disappeared.
Dong Yue felt strange and came to Liu Sanqiang without saying anything.
Liu Sanqiang's complexion improved slightly.
"Yue'er, let's go!"
"Ok."
Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang left without even looking at the Fifth Prince.
The fifth prince kept watching Dong Yue leave, and saw that the clothes he had chosen for Dong Yue looked good on her.
The only thing that dissatisfied him was that he was custom-made according to Dong Yue's original figure. After experiencing the pirate incident, Dong Yue lost a lot of weight, and he was a bit vacant in wearing it.
Neutral!
That is to lose weight!
The fifth prince was very dissatisfied, and ordered the woman who committed suicide to be killed. Her brother who caused trouble also cut off both legs, and all the troublemakers were beaten ten times.
Ma Zhifu knew that this was venting his anger, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only follow through.
After the fifth prince left, Ma Zhifu executed.
Others don’t think these things were ordered by the Fifth Prince, they just think that Ma Zhifu is too cruel and careless about human life.
Ma Zhifu couldn't express his suffering, so he could only swallow all his grievances in his stomach.
At this time, Dong Yue, who was leaving in a carriage, looked at the gloomy Liu Sanqiang and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ma Zhifu belongs to Concubine Li Gui."
Dong Yue subconsciously wanted to deny it, thinking that Ma Zhifu was originally a Beijing official, and it is normal to know Ma Zhifu, thinking that this place is far away from the capital, what good can Li Guifei do?
Dong Yue was puzzled, but Liu Sanqiang understood, "Do you know what I found on the island?"
"what?"
"Concubine Li Gui colluded with Dongguo, and Ma Zhifu passed the news for them."
Dong Yue finally knew why Liu Sanqiang and the fifth prince were angry. What Liu Sanqiang didn't say at this time was that the woman who wanted to commit suicide was also arranged by Concubine Li, in order to plant it on Liu Sanqiang, thereby alienating the relationship between Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang. What was missed was that Dong Yue could swim.
This is why the woman insisted on Liu Sanqiang after waking up.
Because of what the man said, Dong Yue thought, there are so many right and wrong here far away from the capital, it seems that in any place, there are people who are plotting and plotting.
I don’t know what place can be truly clean.
Three days later.
Liu Sanqiang and others left.
Liu Sanqiang and Dong Yue sat in the carriage.
Xiao Qiang rode his horse, and the third prince and Xie Baishan rode away.
The fifth prince wanted to keep Dong Yue so much, but Liu Sanqiang was still alive. He originally wanted Liu Sanqiang to die here. For Dong Yue's sake, he didn't make it.
Watching the woman he loves leave from a distance, his psychology is very complicated.
I hope Dong Yue can be happy, and I hope Dong Yue is by my side. Seeing that Dong Yue cares so much about Liu Sanqiang, he can't make a woman sad.
"My lord—"
Zhongliang knew that the Fifth Prince had done a lot of things behind his back to keep Dong Yue. What he didn't understand was, since he liked it, why did he let Dong Yue leave, and why those plans were suddenly withdrawn.
"Let's go back!"
Zhongliang wanted to say something, but when he saw the fifth prince riding away, he hurriedly followed.
The fifth prince returned to the mansion and began to get drunk. No one dared to approach him.
Zhongliang knew that the Fifth Prince was very bitter, since the prince had made a decision, what could he say.
Time flickered to the evening.
The mansion was very quiet that day, no one made any movement unless necessary.
Lunch and dinner are cancelled.
Zhongliang looked anxiously at the side, when someone came rushing over, Zhongliang had nowhere to vent his anger, and was about to yell at the person, when the other person spoke anxiously.
"It's not good, something happened to General Liu and his party."
"what happened?"
"General Liu and his party checked into the inn and were attacked, now"
Zhongliang heard the buzzing in his forehead, and immediately told the Fifth Prince about the matter.
The Fifth Prince had been drinking for a whole day and was about to get drunk. Hearing that Dong Yue had something to do, he rushed out.
Before Zhongliang could react, when he heard the voice from the fifth prince, he immediately gathered his hands and rushed to the place where Liu Sanqiang had an accident.
When they arrived, they saw the inn engulfed in flames.
Only Liu Sanqiang and others were nowhere to be seen.
The fifth prince was even more anxious, not knowing what to do.
Later, Nakayoshi ordered to put out the fire,
Many people began to get busy. When they found a few corpses from the extinguished fire, the fifth prince rushed towards the woman's body like crazy, hugged the woman, and cried loudly.
Seeing this, Zhongliang was sad and shed tears.
Everyone fell silent when they saw the Fifth Prince like this.
They all knew in their hearts that Liu Sanqiang had traveled all day, and by the time they arrived, it would be too late to save lives.
Seeing the people who were still alive in the morning turned into this, everyone was very sad.
"Why do these people look familiar?"
A familiar yet impossible voice came from behind.
