Master Jingsu Tongren please come to bed

Chapter 23

A few days later, this morning, misfortune fell from the sky, the prince's private cannon workshop suddenly exploded, and many innocent people were affected.

Mei Changsu heard the sound in the hall, and hurried to the courtyard with Li Gang. At this moment, the ground shook again, accompanied by several deafening sounds.

"Li Gang, go and find out!" Mei Changsu clenched his fists, "What happened to such a loud noise?"

Li Gang hurried out to inquire, at this time Fei Liu jumped off the roof, "Brother Su?"

Mei Changsu felt that his illness was about to relapse again, Fei Liu supported him, Mei Changsu shook his head, "Brother Su is fine."

Li Gang came back after a while and told Mei Changsu that the private cannon workshop was blown up.

"Is the private cannon workshop bombed?" Mei Changsu asked him in surprise.

Li Gang nodded, "It is said that it was caused by the avalanche of sparks due to the dry weather recently. The Private Cannon Square was razed to the ground when it was bombed. There were about 90 households nearby that were implicated, all of which were destroyed by the fire. A whole street was burned."

"How about casualties?" Mei Changsu frowned slightly.

"Dozens of people have died in the private cannon workshop alone, plus the nearby people who have been implicated, there are at least a hundred people, and there are more than a hundred people who have been seriously injured." Li Gang said.

"Is the fire under control?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Fortunately, there is no wind today, and the fire did not reach the next street, and it has already been thrown down!" Li Gang clasped his hands.

Mei Changsu pursed his lips, his brows furrowed even tighter, "There's still one street missing!"

"That's right!" Li Gang said, "The fire couldn't be controlled at all from the very beginning, and there were only a few people who rushed to the Jingzhao Yamen at the beginning, even including the people who came to fight the fire, they couldn't control the fire at all!"

"Is there any commotion?" Mei Changsu asked.

"It is true that at the beginning some treacherous people took the opportunity to start looting, and the patrol battalion also went, but they couldn't suppress it for a while. Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Jing led his own troops to arrive." Li Gang said.

"Jingyan went too?" Mei Changsu turned to look at him.

"His Royal Highness King Jing also spent some tents in the army to accommodate the victims and the wounded. The imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital are currently on the official list and cannot be deployed for a while, so he funded the recruitment of private doctors, and his subordinates have already ordered medicine. The brother of the cousin went to help." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

"Well done!" Mei Changsu thought for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "The explosion in the private artillery workshop was definitely not caused by the dry weather and the collapse of sparks!"

"What does the suzerain think?" Li Gang asked.

"This is definitely done by others. Think about it, who will benefit the most if this matter breaks out?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Then this subordinate will investigate now!" Li Gang said.

"Hurry up and report back to me if you have any news." Mei Changsu said, "I'll take Fei Liu there first."

When Mei Changsu rushed to the vicinity of the Private Cannon Square, he found that every place was smoky. He looked around for a while, and found that the Nihuang residence was riding a horse.

The two greeted each other, and then the Nihuang residence called the generals under King Jing to sign for some spare things he had sent.

Mei Changsu walked slowly to the ruins and took a look. On the opposite side of the collapsed ruins, Xiao Jingyan came with a few people, and they looked at each other quietly for a while.

Xiao Jingyan pursed his lips, his raised sword eyebrows were slightly tightened, and he walked around the ruins.

"His Royal Highness Prince Jing." Mei Changsu bowed his hands and said hello.

Xiao Jingyan nodded, curled his lips into a cold smile, "Mr. Su has come so soon, major events in Beijing and China really can't escape Mr. Su's eyes."

Mei Changsu sighed, "It's too tragic to see such a scene in the imperial capital of Daliang!"

"Yeah." Xiao Jingyan tilted his head and didn't know where to look, "They are all hard-working ordinary people, who would have thought that such an indiscriminate disaster would happen? It's just a matter of time and fate, it would be great if it lasted just one more day! "

Princess Nihuang, standing behind Mei Changsu, said, "So what if it's more than a day?"

"Master Shen from the Household Department told me yesterday that he had already submitted a copy of the report, asking His Majesty to grant permission to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion to help seal up this private cannon workshop. He told me confidently at the time that Zhu Pi would come down soon within a day or two. , I never thought that such a tragic accident would happen just one day after the booklet was delivered!" Xiao Jingyan stared at Mei Changsu and said.

"Does Your Highness really think this was just an accident?" Mei Changsu asked.

"Is Mr. Su implying something?" Xiao Jingyan asked.

"This was originally a corruption case, but after such an explosion, this matter is not limited to the court. After all, it is related to hundreds of lives. The people's anger and grievances will become a state of turmoil. In this way, Donggong received The punishment will be even heavier!" Mei Changsu rubbed his fingers on his sleeve and said, "Think carefully, Your Highness, who will be the ultimate beneficiary if this matter gets bigger!"

Xiao Jingyan felt his anger welling up, "Just to hit the prince harder, can they ignore human lives like this!"

Mei Changsu bowed his head in silence, Xiao Jingyan looked indifferently, suddenly looked at Mei Changsu, and then approached him step by step, "Is this Mr. Su's conspiracy for King Yu?"

Mei Changsu froze for a moment, feeling a sudden pain in his chest, he took a step back, not daring to approach Xiao Jingyan again.
