Chapter 575 Pan Shan's Residence
"Did you see the face clearly?"
"It's masked." Jiao Yu scratched the floor hard, making a creaking sound, "At least it's in human form."
"The official found a jar fragment in the envoy's room, with gunpowder on the surface." It continued, "I just went to see it, the explosion point may be next to the bed or under the bed."
He Lingchuan chuckled: "They wish I could be torn to pieces."
According to the power of the explosives, if he had slept in the bed at that time, no matter how powerful the defensive formation was, it would probably be useless.
Fu Shanyue's face was as gloomy as water.
At this time, another guard suddenly strode in to report:
"Your Highness, the official who searched the scene was poisoned!"
"What?" Fu Shanyue was more and more surprised. Why did strange things happen one after another tonight?
He jumped to the scene of the incident in two steps, and Jiao Yu followed closely.
The poisoned official had been carried out, twitching all over, with green foam coming out of the corners of his mouth.
It's no wonder that the guards were sure that he was poisoned.
The doctor assigned to the posthouse, who had just examined the wounded of He Lingchuan and others, now rushed to treat the official with a medicine box.
He was not idle this evening.
Fu Shanyue had no time to watch him treat the wounded, so he jumped up to the second floor.
He Lingchuan's residence was bombed to the point that two walls were missing, the beams and pillars collapsed, and the furniture was in a mess, most of which were burnt black and smelled choking.
Just as Jiao Yu said, a few pieces of earthenware jars could occasionally be found in the corner.
There were two more officials here. Seeing their companions being carried away, they no longer dared to rummage around and only used weapons to stir.
Fu Shanyue asked: "How could he be poisoned?"
"He was searching and fell down without warning!"
"Where did he touch?"
The official pointed out one by one.
Fu Shanyue squatted down and checked it himself.
The official reminded him: "Your Highness, be careful of poison!"
Fu Shanyue sneered.
Ba is afraid of poison? Funny.
He was also experienced. After searching for a long time, he locked his sights on the tables, chairs and screens.
These things were all broken into pieces, but they were not destroyed by the fire. The most serious damage was the screen, which was half burned.
Fu Shanyue poked his head out and called the doctor below:
"Test it, is there any poison here?"
The doctor was much more careful than him. He carefully dripped various potions on the utensils and even sprayed a stream of gray smoke on them.
The table and chair surfaces showed a light blue color.
"Found it!"
"Poison first, then explode?" Fu Shanyue stood up slowly, "It's quite cruel."
Is this because they are afraid that He Xiao is not dead?
It seems that the other party not only wants to teach Prince Chiyan a lesson, but also has a deep hatred?
The Cen family, the Zhongsun family, or the mastermind behind the immortality medicine?
Fu Shanyue looked towards the east and squinted his eyes. It will be dawn in an hour or so. Tomorrow will definitely be exciting!
In the other side room, He Lingchuan coughed twice and drank some water.
The mirror in his arms was incredible: "You are so cruel to yourself?"
There was someone next to him, He Lingchuan did not answer, but just swallowed another pill, then closed his eyes to regulate his breath and warm his wounds.
Fu Shanyue's guards immediately blocked this row of rooms, including Jiao Yu, who lay at the door to prevent others from disturbing the special envoy.
People kept coming in and out of the entire post house, footsteps came and went, and there were all kinds of voices.
Obviously the government office was not idle.
But that had nothing to do with He Lingchuan.
After dawn, the attack on the prince of Fan Yao Kingdom would spread throughout Lingxu City at the fastest speed!
¥¥¥¥¥
The next morning, Fu Shanyue was summoned by the Demon Emperor again.
It was a great honor for Fu Shanyue to meet the emperor twice in ten days.
He returned to the post house around noon.
The explosion last night was too loud. The accident site was basically cleaned up, but the charred building could not be repaired in half a morning. The crowds who heard the news were still three layers inside and three layers outside. While watching the official office's actions, they whispered their opinions. It can be called a large-scale tourist group chat scene.
This kind of gathering is a hotbed for all kinds of rumors. The official also tried to disperse it and bombed it three or five times. But the crowd is like a flock of geese. You chase me and I flee. You tire me and I disturb you. You will always gather together.
Fu Shanyue walked back to the posthouse for half a circle. Not to mention He Lingchuan, even Jiao Yu was nowhere to be seen.
"Where are they?"
The guards who stayed behind hurriedly said: "Your Highness, He Xiao said it's not safe here. He moved to Panshan's house."
"Pan..." Fu Shanyue was confused and was about to ask what this meant, but the next second he suddenly remembered that he had compensated He Lingchuan with a house at the foot of Panshan in the main city!
"Good boy!" He chuckled, "Pack your things, we'll go too!"
The guards came forward and followed him, helping him squeeze out of the crowd, and then rushed to Panshan, leaving behind unknown spies eating dust.
After just two quarters of an hour, Fu Shanyue arrived at the destination.
This house was originally his, so of course he was very familiar with it, and went through the hall to find He Lingchuan.
It turned out that this guy had already cleaned up and was lying in the back garden to bask in the sun. There was a jar of fine wine and two wine glasses on the low wooden table beside him.
The fierce tiger Jiao Yu was lying on the rockery, squinting his eyes and pretending to sleep, with a little tongue sticking out without knowing it.
This man and tiger looked so leisurely, how could they be so embarrassed as they were last night?
When Fu Shanyue came, the fierce tiger jumped down to greet him; He Lingchuan opened his eyes, looked at Fu Shanyue, and turned his head to continue basking in the sun.
Fu Shanyue sat down on another recliner: "I was called to Yunxiao Palace early in the morning, but you are at ease."
"I am a wounded soldier. I need to rest more and move less." He Lingchuan poured him a glass of wine. "There are all wise people in this house. As soon as I showed the title deed, they let me move in."
After coming down from Fengmo Mountain, Fu Shanyue asked him to stop fighting and gave him the title deed of this house.
Fu Shanyue took a sip from the wine glass, lay down on the chair, and took a long breath.
After entering Lingxu City, He Lingchuan realized how much weight the words "house in the main city" had.
This world's first city has experienced nearly 600 years of prosperity, and the housing prices have long been skyrocketing. The price of one square meter in the main city can buy a whole small house in the capital of Yuan Country.
Ordinary people struggle all their lives, but they are not qualified to put a bed here.
The poor have no place to stand, which is the true portrayal of this place.
So those who can live in the main city are not ordinary people. There are villas and small buildings on the hills everywhere. People can be in a quiet spiritual platform and watch the prosperous world. They just want to be a hermit in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Behind each house, there are basically one or two wealth myths.
As for the floating island in the sky.
Well, that has nothing to do with "being rich".
People live in the sky to let you know that you are as different from them as the sky and mud.
He is the cloud, and you are the mud.
If you only have two stinky money, you are only worthy of squatting on the ground, looking up at the sky with your mouth open.
But He Lingchuan is still very happy that he has a place to squat in Lingxu City.
The commercial area and the residential area here are basically separated. The closer to the middle, the larger the house and the quieter the environment.
So He Lingchuan quickly found his new home on the edge of the main city.
Fu Shanyue was not exaggerating. This house is really just a small house with an area of five acres, which is more than 3,300 square meters.
The garden area occupies more than half, and there are not many houses left - a large house and a small courtyard, that is the configuration of a slum, and it will be laughed to death if it is placed here.
The gardens of the mansions in the main urban area are usually more than 17 or 18 mu. The area of the house is about 20% of the total area.
Two or three manors can divide a small hill equally.
Of course, for the time being, from the perspective of outsiders, this is still the territory of the prince of Chiyan State.
This house has a history of more than 100 years and has been renovated four times. It is exquisite but not ostentatious. Although the area is small, it has pavilions, gardens and fountains, and the furniture is also tasteful, which meets He Lingchuan's requirements.
Fu Shanyue told him that since the Fushan family does not use it often, they did not spend much time rebuilding this house. Other mansions in the main urban area are extremely exquisite from every brick and tile of the building to every flower and tree in the garden, and every meal in daily life.
The regulations formed over the past 600 years are called style.
Outsiders can't even think of it, and can't imitate it.
"There is a platform in the side yard, and the barbecue is delicious." Fu Shanyue instructed him, "Tell the chef to buy two big geese, yellow-nosed geese from Xitan, and we will roast them tonight to eat with wine."
"We?" He Lingchuan glanced at him, "The dignified Prince Chi Yan has no place to live in Lingxu City, so he has to live here with me?"
"I can live there." Fu Shanyue pointed to the floating island in the sky, showing that he still has strength and status, "But the upper city strictly controls entry and exit, which is not as convenient as the ground. Besides, the houses in the lower city are cheap and large, so many officials have houses in the lower city."
Seeing that He Lingchuan was unmoved, he said intentionally or unintentionally: "Besides, it's safer for you to live with me."
Both of them knew it clearly, and He Lingchuan immediately gave in: "You pay for the wine and meat."
Fu Shanyue's shield is not as important as before, but it is worse than nothing.
If He Lingchuan were to face the storms of Lingxu City by himself, he would definitely turn around and run away without saying a word.
There were only six or seven empty rooms, too few for the seventy or eighty guards that Fu Shanyue brought with him to stay, so they could only find a post station to make do with; he himself, Jiao Yu and two personal attendants, moved into He Lingchuan's house.
"The Emperor and the royal court were shocked by last night's incident." Fu Shanyue said leisurely, "Before the court meeting, the Emperor summoned me to ask about the attack last night, and comforted me with kind words, saying that the matter would be investigated thoroughly."
"The Emperor's tone was much better than in the past few days." The post station was attacked! After such an incredible thing, even the Emperor had to express condolences to the victim, Prince Chiyan, "On my way back, many officials and dignitaries came to express condolences."
"After all, you are the victim." He Lingchuan rubbed his temples, "Many people came to the post station to give gifts at dawn, so I just hid here."
For most of the morning, there was a commotion outside the post station. He was still a wounded person, and he couldn't rest well because of the noise.
Fu Shanyue took out another small box and gave it to him: "You have made great contributions in investigating the case in Baisha, and you were almost killed last night. The emperor specially ordered Master Shuangye to get you a Jade Rejuvenating Pill, saying that after taking it, minor injuries will be healed immediately, and serious injuries will be cured."
"Master Shuangye?" He Lingchuan was startled and took the box.
