Tiancheng's mission was completed very well.
A fire in the Duke of Lu's mansion caused a big mess.
Xiao Hansu also asked Xiaotian to go to the Duke of Wen's mansion early to ask for help from Duke Wen.
Qian Zhan, the Duke of Wen, did not ask the reason.
Without saying a word, he entered the palace and reported the fire in the Duke of Lu's mansion to the emperor.
Logically speaking, this kind of thing is not within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.
So when Qian Zhan left to wait for other ministers in the side hall, the emperor summoned Su Ji and asked him to find out what happened.
Su Ji moved very quickly.
He came back before the other ministers had arrived and talked about the Su family's affairs.
Jing Ziheng's face was slightly angry after hearing the whole story.
He knew that this was done by the Duke of Lu, otherwise the fire in the Duke of Lu's mansion would not have happened at this time.
But what made him even more angry was that the Jingji Defense Force also had members of the Duke of Lu. minions After thinking about it, he asked Su Ji to go out and find out the details of the matter before reporting back.
By then, all the ministers had arrived.
Everyone has also heard about the fire in Lu Guogong's Mansion, and they all said that it was a natural disaster.
It is already very hot in May this year, and there is very little rain this year.
There has not been a drop of rain since the beginning of summer.
Woolen cloth.
Xiao Hansu was silent in the crowd.
After today, some things cannot be suppressed.
Everyone in the Su family will be imprisoned by then, and Luoluo is the person involved.
Even if she has married into the Xiao family, she will still be convicted.
Sent to prison.
Zhang Yushi snorted when he saw him: "Your Majesty, I heard from the people who went to check that it was not a natural disaster."
"The scene was a warehouse in the backyard.
There were no other buildings around it.
However, because the arsonist used gunpowder, several buildings in the backyard were also burned.
Fortunately, there were no major casualties."
There were no major casualties, which meant that there were no casualties among the master's family, not including maids and servants.
"Everyone said it was a natural disaster, but according to what I saw, can gunpowder be used for natural disasters?
So this matter is probably man-made."
"It's just that I really don't understand who can get gunpowder.
Black gunpowder is also available among the people, but the control is stricter.
It is impossible for black powder to appear in the capital.
It is obviously the government-made gunpowder used to blow up mountains."
Zhang Yushi talked eloquently, "The Jing Dynasty has an order that prohibits civilians from blowing up mountains and mining at will.
Therefore, those who want to sell rocks use black gunpowder.
But in our Jing Dynasty capital, where can we use black gunpowder?"
Who wants to risk getting black powder?"
"Our country's law stipulates that those who secretly possess and sell gunpowder should be punished by hanging.
If the crime is serious, they will directly confiscate their homes and exterminate their families."
The so-called large amount is only eight liang.
The eight liang of black powder is not considered gunpowder at all.
If it is not enough to watch as fireworks, even if it is like this, the family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated.
This shows that the national law of the Jing Dynasty has strict control over black powder.
How strict the prohibition is.

Jing Ziheng listened to him patiently, and he had already guessed most of it.
It was Xiao Hansu and Su Qing who did this.
They did this because the Su family was besieged, but why did the Su family be besieged by the Lu State?
surrounded by public It's probably because of Su Qing's identity.
Doesn't Duke Lu already have evidence?
So Xiao Hansu took the gunpowder from the Ministry of War and set fire to the Duke of Lu's mansion in order to buy time.
They probably had some plan.
When the emperor kept thinking about what plan and what it was about, Zhang Yushi had already finished speaking.
Seeing that the emperor did not pay attention to him, he said again: "Your Majesty, this matter is very important.
This is stealing gunpowder."
The person may have ulterior motives.”
"Ask the Emperor to judge" He said this with great force, as if the truth was already on his side.
Jing Ziheng smiled and said: "My dear friends, do you think I should reward Zhang Yushi?"
Zhang Yushi didn't know why.
He thought that the emperor wanted to reward him because of his admonishment just now, so he immediately refused, saying that he was a minister, and no matter what he did for the emperor, it was his duty and there was no need to do so. reward.
Jing Ziheng laughed: "I said you should reward you, so I should reward you.
Among all the beloved ministers present, there are many who heard that there was a fire in the Duke of Lu's mansion.
Did you know that there was a fire in the Duke of Lu's mansion?
I’m afraid you’re the only one with traces of gunpowder.”
The other ministers were all stunned.
They really didn't know about gunpowder.
"I was able to investigate the matter so clearly in such a short period of time.
I feel a little wronged by having you in the Yushitai.
Do you think I should reward you and promote you to the Ministry of Punishment?"
This was a clear compliment and a hint of sarcasm.
Others looked sideways and looked at Zhang Yushi with a very strange expression.
He knew so clearly that there were only two possibilities.
He set the first fire and stole the gunpowder.
Although he was not an official of the Ministry of War, he was the censor and had the obligation to supervise all officials.
It was understandable to visit the Ministry of War occasionally.
The second fire was a natural disaster, but he wanted to take the opportunity to blame someone, so he said there were traces of gunpowder.
When it comes to gunpowder, the first people to be suspected are the people from the Ministry of War, followed by other officials who are qualified to enter the Ministry of War.
In this way, it is obvious who he wants to blame.
Zhang Yushi trembled all over, but he had forgotten how to resolve this matter.
He hesitated for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, this was not investigated by me.
Before I came, I took a detour to the Duke of Lu's house."
It means that he heard what Duke Lu said.
Jing Ziheng nodded, which makes sense, but now that the situation is so clear, it is commendable that he dares to directly state his position.
Zhang Yushi didn't think about this.
He was only thinking about how to complete a lie, but he forgot to whitewash the situation.
Although everyone knew that he belonged to Lu Guogong's faction, everyone knew that now he meant something else when he said it.
By the time Zhang Yushi reacted, the words had already been spoken.
He had no choice but to bring up the previous topic again: "Your Majesty, what about the person who stole the gunpowder?"
Jing Ziheng waved his hand: "I will investigate on my own."
He turned to Xing Jian, the Minister of Punishment, and said: "Xing Aiqing, do you have any clues about the princess and the consort?

And the fire, is it related to the fire in the Duke of Lu's mansion?
Woolen cloth" Xing Jian came out of the queue and saluted: "Back to the emperor, not yet.
Because the backyard was burned by the fire, almost nothing was left, and there was no clue left at all.
As for the fire at the Prince Consort's Mansion, the fire was started with kerosene. , it would take a lot of kerosene to burn the entire backyard, and it can be seen that the person behind it has been planning for a long time. " "As for the fire in the Lu Duke's Mansion, if there are indeed traces of gunpowder, then it must not have been done by the same person.
To say that the serious fire was caused by kerosene, gunpowder is known for its destructive and lethality.
If it was the same person , I think this person is putting the cart before the horse a bit.”
When you want to kill someone, you don’t use gunpowder.
When you burn a barn, you actually use gunpowder. x2412141:
