Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 94 News
When a fire dragon twenty or thirty feet long suddenly appeared on the road in front of the main gate of Qiaoling, it not only alarmed the officers and soldiers guarding the tomb, but even the farmers living nearby heard the movement and looked around. Li Lijun had already drifted away quietly in a cloak , disappeared into the night.

No matter how anxious the Xue family tried to put out the fire dragon, the fire that Li Lijun had tampered with would not be extinguished so easily.It will not burn the whole carriage, but it will leave a clear mark on the road, which cannot be easily removed.

After all, Qiaoling is also the mausoleum of the late emperor. The Pei family made such a fuss in front of the mausoleum of the late emperor, and the nephew of the imperial concubine said a few nice words in front of the emperor. Can it really cover up the matter?
The emperor also needs face, no matter how much he loves the imperial concubine and her sisters, he still needs to show a filial piety to his parents in front of the world.How can he be merciless to sinners who offended the tomb of the first emperor?
That Pei Hui, for a cousin who caused trouble for him, would he really have a deep affection to the point of pleading desperately for him?
If Pei Hui does nothing, and the rest of the Pei family choose to sacrifice a small person in exchange for the royal family not punishing the rest of their family more, then the brazen Pei family who tried to use his power to destroy his future will have to try It's the feeling of being ruined by someone relying on power.

Karma, the world should be like this.

Li Lijun quietly floated into the inn and slipped back to her room.Erhong was still asleep, and she didn't seem to notice that she had ever left.

At this time, it was only about two hours before dawn, Li Lijun packed up his cloak, and quickly went to sleep on the couch.

In the early morning of the next day, she woke up again under the reminder of the system, practiced, groomed, and changed clothes as usual.When Mrs. Shao was tidying up her changed dress, she caught a glimpse of some dirt and grass clippings on the soles of her shoes, so she rebuked in a low voice: "Young lady went out last night and dirty her shoes in Qiaoling, what did you do when you came back?" Don't say a word? Let it sit overnight, and the stain will be hard to wash off!"

Er Hong only thought it was Li Lijun's shoes that were accidentally soiled when she went to Qiaoling to find someone, so she didn't become suspicious: "It was already late when I came back last night, I forgot about it, it's my fault."

Seeing her admitting her mistake, Mrs. Shao slowed down her expression: "Forget it, you have to remember in the future. Now the little lady only takes us out, and there are more people waiting than you in the palace. If you forget something, someone else will make up for it. Shoes It's a small matter, but the little lady didn't bring a few pairs of shoes when she went out, if there is not enough to wear, do you want the little lady to wear dirty shoes to meet people?!"

Erhong admitted her mistake honestly, took the shoes and went to the yard to wash them herself.Mrs. Shao took another pair of clean shoes for Li Lijun to wear.Li Lijun knew in his heart when the shoes were dirty, and he felt a little sorry, so he whispered to Mrs. Shao: "I wore the shoes dirty, so nurse don't scold Erhong."

Mrs. Shao also whispered to her: "Young lady wears shoes. If you want to get dirty, you don't need to be constrained by yourself. I just remind Erhong to be more careful in doing things. She will be in charge of the little lady in the future. If How can we rest assured that we have been so careless all this time?"

Li Lijun touched his nose, thinking that he could consider drawing a dust-proof talisman on his shoes or something.

Cui Momo walked into the house with some excitement, and said to Li Lijun: "Little lady, I just heard the news in the front lobby that yesterday the Pei family set fire to the road in front of the bridge mausoleum, destroying all the official roads. It's burnt black!"

Mrs. Shao and Erhong were both startled by the news, they turned their heads together and asked, "What?!"

Li Lijun pretended to be surprised and said: "What's going on? Did the Pei family go crazy? How dare you make such a fuss in the imperial mausoleum?!"

"That's what the officers and soldiers guarding the mausoleum said. Someone came to look for Lin Silang early in the morning and told him the news." Madam Cui said, "Now even the people in Fengxian County have heard about it, and some people have specially told him about it." I ran to see the burn mark, I heard it was hundreds of feet away, but it was conspicuous!"

Up to hundreds of feet?Is there such an exaggeration?Li Lijun was sure that when he left last night, the fire dragon was only twenty or thirty feet long.

Mother Cui heard that Lin Jiulang, her benefactor, was injured by the Pei family, and she always looked down on his family. Those members of the Pei family were detained, none of them were released, and I don't know if anyone has returned to Chang'an City to report to the Pei family."

Erhong spread her wet hands, her eyes widened: "Could it be that they failed to catch Lin Jiajiulang yesterday and sent someone to escape, and they were holding their breath, so they set off such a fire to vent their anger?!"

Mrs. Shao retorted: "How is that possible?! That's the imperial tomb! Did the Pei family eat the bear's heart and the leopard's guts? If they want to vent their anger, they should go somewhere else?!"

Li Lijun took the opportunity and said: "Today, I will have breakfast in the lobby. Nanny and Erhong will accompany me for a walk, and I will inform Uncle Shen by the way."

Erhong quickly handed the shoes to the rough envoy's mother-in-law, washed her hands and came over.Mrs. Shao glared at her, but said nothing.In fact, she was also very curious about such a big matter.If it wasn't for the fact that someone would be left in the house to look after the luggage, she also wanted to go to the front lobby to listen to the news.

Since Li Lijun stayed in this inn, she ate in her room every day, this was the first time she came back to the lobby outside, and she felt quite fresh.The proprietress of the inn knew that she was an unusual person, so she didn't care that she was wearing a heavy filial piety. When she saw her coming out, she greeted her courteously and led her to a relatively quiet corner.

Li Shen was sitting at the next table, without Li Lijun sending someone to invite him, he heard the news first, and hurried to the lobby to listen to the excitement.Seeing Li Lijun coming, he simply came over to sit with her, and then whispered to her the latest news he heard from Lin Silang's colleague.

A few young children of the Pei family went to worship at the tomb of Princess Xue Guochang yesterday, and only did some cleaning and weeding work. They were scheduled to go to offer offerings again today, but the officers and soldiers guarding Qiaoling in the middle of the night found his family's carriage at the main entrance of the cemetery. A fire broke out on the avenue in front of him, and a long fire dragon was dragged out.

When the officers and soldiers rushed to fight the fire, they found that the cause of the fire was that the last carriage was loaded with several jugs of wine. The carriage was too bumpy when traveling, and the wine jugs were broken, and the wine spilled out and spilled on the road. The lantern was thrown to the ground again, and as soon as the light touched the wine, it caught fire like this.The Xue family's entourage and guards were all focused on the young gentlemen in the cars ahead and the surrounding environment, and when they discovered the fire, it was too late.

The strange thing is that the wine doesn't look too big, and there is no firewood to support the combustion. Only a few silks and satins in the carriage suffered, but they couldn't be extinguished no matter how hard they were thrown.The officers and soldiers fetched water and shoveled soil to cover the fire, but the fire still could not be extinguished until the early morning and gradually extinguished itself.Although the wine carriage and most of the things in the carriage were burnt to embarrassment, they were still recognizable and had never been charred.The officers and soldiers in Qiaoling were discussing in private, the fire was burning strangely, and they didn't know which god the Pei family had offended!
Li Shen sneered and said: "The young man from the Pei family, who is the leader, is very arrogant. Before the smell of alcohol dissipated on his body, he clamored that the wine was used to sacrifice to Princess Xue. Now it has been destroyed by gangsters. He must investigate it to the end. He also said that this matter was deliberately harmed by someone with a heart, and that the brothers of the Lin family probably did it. And because Lin Silang worked in Qiaoling, he also said that the guards and soldiers of the mausoleum were in collusion with Lin Silang and deliberately framed him. After arresting people, he is still yelling that everyone will have a terrible death!"

That boy is really courting death!
Li Lijun sneered: "If you want to push the crime to others, you need to have evidence. The fire started strangely, but it happened in front of the imperial tomb. The people who came to visit the tomb were still full of alcohol and showed no respect. Heart, how do you know that the master is angry and wants to teach them a lesson?"
