Chapter 1040 The Soaring Fire

Zhou Shuren's carriage and the prince's carriage ran side by side, the curtain of the carriage was drawn, and the prince did not intend to stop.

The crown prince leaned against the window of the carriage, "Master Zhou is going back to the government office?"

Zhou Shuren was thinking in his heart that today's prince didn't know what to do, "Yes, I'm going home."

The prince smiled lightly, "It was common for the ministers of the household department to live in the household department in the past. Since Mr. Zhou took office in the household department, there were very few household departments. Among the six departments, the household department and the ritual department all came down at the hour yamen."

Zhou Shuren had a guilty conscience, and it seemed that he was the leader, but he had the confidence, "The household department is very efficient."

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled, when the carriage stopped, the Crown 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 known to everyone in the capital. Unlike the ruins of 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 crown prince integrated the generals of the Beijing camp to speak, and Zhou Shuren retracted his head when he was far away.

This house is the ancestral house of the Zhang family. At that time, the Zhang family ransacked all their families, and the house was occupied. Therefore, it has been abandoned.

On the other side, Changzhi and his party arrived at the county seat of Shanxian County. Changzhi got out of the carriage and rubbed his waist, "I haven't gone out for a long time, and I still don't feel used to the fast driving, and it's uncomfortable to change my body."

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

Especially in order to go back quickly, there is not much luggage, and the carriage is traveling so fast that the bones are about to fall apart.

Jiang Sheng also got out of the carriage, "There is an inn to stay today, Changzhi, let's go in first."

Changzhi looked at the servants and maids who were busy inside and out, "Don't rush to the guest room, let's eat downstairs first, I haven't eaten anything warm all day."

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

This inn is the best one in the county. There are many people in the inn. Su Xuan and her party attracted attention when they came in.

Jiang Sheng felt a little uncomfortable, he was not used to being scrutinized by so many eyes, he looked at Changzhi, but Changzhi ordered food very naturally, and had already warmed the cup with the hot tea sent by Xiaoer.

Changzhi noticed that his brother-in-law was uncomfortable, first handed the hot teacup to his daughter-in-law, and then to his brother-in-law, and said in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, you have to get used to it."

He knows that his sister and brother-in-law have no ambitions, but he still has to get used to some occasions. After his brother-in-law came to Beijing, he has been studying, and the brothers didn't take his brother-in-law out. This time is different, his brother-in-law is with him, and these scrutinizing eyes will always be with him with.

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

He is not a man who knows what is good and what is bad.

In Beijing, when Zhou Shuren came back, he saw his wife 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 to eat sweets, if she doesn't walk around the yard twice, she has no candy to eat."

Zhou Shuren looked at the granddaughter with a sympathetic face. In the past, the granddaughter didn't fall into the hands of the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law didn't care about it. Now it's miserable, and her life is pinched. She can only exercise honestly, and pats the granddaughter's little head, " No one in our family can beat your grandma, so you should accept your fate."

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

Zhou Shuren, "..."

These brats often quoted him in front of the children.

Soon the food was ready, and the Zhou family was preparing to eat, when the butler ran over in a panic, "Fire, big fire, master, the fire is soaring into the sky.

"

Zhou Shuren's heart skipped a beat, "Where is the fire?"

The housekeeper swallowed, "West direction, I don't know whose house it is."

Upon hearing this, Zhulan said, "Hurry up and send someone to take a look."

Zhulan then followed Zhou Shuren to the yard. Standing in her own yard, she could see the flames soaring into the sky. While Zhulan was worried, she was relieved. Fortunately, she was far away from Zhou's house. .

Zhou Shuren signaled the boss to move the table over, and then stepped on the chair to get on the table, carefully identifying the direction, Zhou Shuren pursed his lips and came down.

Boss Zhou hurriedly asked, "Father, whose family do you think?"

Boss Zhou looked at the fire in the distance and was terrified. This fire did not give people a chance to escape, it was too terrifying.

Just to add a word, the app I'm using recently, [Change Source Artifact APP] supports both Android and Apple phones!

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 mansion.

Boss Zhou was stunned for a moment. He knew Zhang's house. When he passed by, he still thought that such a luxurious and big house would be abandoned. After inquiring about it later, he dared not even think about it.

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

Seeing his father looking at him, he hurriedly closed his mouth, he couldn't catch his breath, and coughed continuously.

Zhou Shuren didn't want to talk about it, "Okay, let's go back to eat."

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

Halfway through the meal, the butler came back to report, "It is the abandoned Zhang's mansion that is burning. There are officers and soldiers guarding the mansion outside, so the servant did not dare to approach."

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

The butler replied, "Many, the boy will report to an officer and a soldier a few steps away."

Zhou Shuren couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to burn Zhang's mansion. If he wanted to burn it, he should have burned it long ago. He obviously didn't want to burn it down until now, but now he burned it again. Zhou Shuren signaled the housekeeper to go down.

After dinner, they all went back to the yard, 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 the building. I never thought about what to do. I didn't expect it to be set on fire. No one put out the fire. The huge building complex will burn for a day or two. "

Zhulan was terrified of the fire, "Seeing the fire now, I can see the fire of the Rong family."

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

Zhulan also couldn't figure it out, "If you want to talk about hatred, it should have ended when Zhang's family ransacked."

Not to mention that Zhou Shuren didn't understand, even the people in the entire capital didn't understand. Ever since the fire broke out, they had sent people to inquire.

After the princes knew that the crown prince was here, they even arrived in person.

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