That night.

It's in this Ningyuan City.

Everyone in the city had their own thoughts about Emperor Aoki's visit at this time.

Your Majesty's performance today is far beyond everyone's expectations.

Although he scolded him hard, this scolding seemed more like a joke.

Where in the world is the emperor who suddenly came to the border town and then scolded the civil and military ministers of the border town for being greedy for Liao pay.

Although Yuan Chonghuan didn't understand what it meant, he was very shocked.

This young emperor is indeed a talented person.

He actually knew that someone was greedy for money.

The only drawback is that the emperor's methods... are really not very clever and even make people laugh.

Yuan Chonghuan was indifferent to this.

But that night, he still couldn't sleep, but he got up with his clothes and started to compile books.

These letters were sent to some ministers in Beijing who had a close relationship with him, and they only mean one. Now the emperor is here, so you can take the people back quickly and cause trouble here.

Is this Ningyuan, the place where the emperor should come?

After the book was compiled, Yuan Chonghuan sighed, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on a letter on the desk.

This letter was sent by Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji of Jiannu had a lot of dealings with him, but this person was a rare person. To some extent, Yuan Chonghuan even felt that Huang Taiji was more like the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, such rebellious thoughts soon disappeared in Yuan Chonghuan's mind. No matter what, I had to send the emperor away quickly, so as to save the night and dreams.

As for what the emperor said about purging... it is actually just a joke.

If he has the ability, he will check it, and it will be useless for anyone to check it.

At this time, the moon was hanging high, and a warm stove was born in Yuan Chonghuan's room, but Yuan Chonghuan still felt cold, so he and Yi returned to the couch, intending to take a break, and go to see the emperor early tomorrow morning to see how to deal with this furry child.

Yes, there is also Zhang Jingyi.

Thinking of Zhang Jingyi, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. This guy really caused him a lot of trouble.

Although he is in Liaodong, Mao Wenlong from Dongjiang Town always can't get along with him. This person is very hateful. If Mao Wenlong is not defeated, who has the final say in Liaodong?

But when Zhang Jingyi recruits pirates, he will inevitably strengthen the maritime power of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he will inevitably suffer damage. If Liaodong is to be pacified, he also needs Yuan Chonghuan to pacify. What are Zhang Jingyi and Mao Wenlong?

Just thinking about it, I was in a daze and was about to go to bed.

Sudden……

A very harsh gong sound came from outside.

Yuan Chonghuan was shocked and immediately stood up. Someone hurried outside and said, "Duke Yuan, Duke Yuan...is not good, not good..."

The person who spoke, while his voice was hoarse, he actually knocked open the door of Yuan Chonghuan's house like crazy, and almost fell down: "Mr. Yuan... Something happened, something big happened."

Yuan Chonghuan was startled and hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"

"It's right...it's right...it's right!"

The so-called walking is the place where the emperor lives temporarily.

The place where the emperor lives...there was a fire.

After hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan felt dizzy and was a little unsteady. He immediately said, "Who... who let go?"

"No...I don't know..."

"Put the fire, put out the fire immediately..." Yuan Chonghuan shouted!

Then he rushed out of the hall and saw that the night sky was burning red, with a raging fire, filled the entire sky with rolling smoke and dust.

Yuan Chonghuan cursed: "Hurry up, put out the fire quickly, come, come, go and go..."

The entire Ningyuan City was in chaos.

Almost all the generals in this city came from all directions, either riding horses or riding sedan chairs.

Finally, the fire was extinguished.

But there were only countless rubble left here, and nothing had been burned.

A group of people searched desperately inside, and nothing could be found except a few corpses that were burnt to distinguish.

Yuan Chonghuan got out of the sedan chair and then looked at everything in front of him in a daze, and couldn't help but feel chilled.

At this time, someone had already brought a team of servants to ride a horse, and the people were turning over and dismounting.

It was the Liaodong general Man Gui. Man Gui's face was full of surprise. He waved his whip and whipped a personal guard standing not far away: "Where is Your Majesty?"

"No...I don't know..."

Mangui's body trembled, and soon he saw Yuan Chonghuan.

"Mr. Yuan, what's going on?"

Yuan Chonghuan finally came back to his senses. He looked at Man Gui in a complicated manner: "General Man... I am about to ask you, why are you asking me?"

"Hmph!" Man Gui sneered: "Can someone stabbed him?"

Yuan Chonghuan said: "Whether you are an assassination, the truth will be revealed sooner or later."

After saying that, Man Gui turned around, turned over and said immediately: "Chain the city gate. Dig three feet of the ground for me... Anyone with suspicious signs will be found for me."

As he said that, he took his servants away in a hurry.

Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help but shivered at this time. He knew very well... something big happened, something big happened.

Yuan Chonghuan's face was as deep as water, and immediately said, "Go back home and order someone... to check it out and continue to find me..."

He stuttered a little, and the demeanor he had cultivated on weekdays was now gone.

Then, he got into the sedan chair.

Back all the way back to the Governor's Office.

At this time, the confidants in the governor's yamen had arrived, and everyone whispered to each other, and some people almost jumped out of the bed, so they didn't even wear coats, and their faces were full of anxiety.

"Duke Yuan..."

As soon as they saw Yuan Chonghuan coming, everyone hurriedly surrounded him.

“What should I do now…”

"This is the crime of death."

"Mr. Yuan, tell the truth, is Your Majesty already..."

Yuan Chonghuan had a gloomy face and said angrily: "Shut up!"

Everyone was a little quieter.

Yuan Chonghuan widened his eyes and said, "No matter whether your Majesty is alive or dead, if such a big thing happens today, there will always be someone in Ningyuan City. Either my entire family is killed or others. As for you... don't think you can escape. Do you think you can escape? Let's bury them together!"

The officials were so scared that they dared not let out.

Yuan Chonghuan then sneered: "If you still want to live, there is no way. If you want to live, you have to find out who fired this fire. I am open and honest, so naturally I have a clear conscience. Then what about you?"

The officials quickly said, "How dare we do such a rebellious thing?"

Yuan Chonghuan narrowed his eyes, a trace of sharpness flashed through his eyes. At this time, he could only save himself, so he said, "It's not me, it's not you. Could it be the actions of some illegal military generals?"

As soon as this statement came out, the officials were immediately in an uproar. Someone nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, it is very likely that during the day, Your Majesty also said that he would severely punish the corruption of military generals. I know this, I know... Don't think that those Qiu Ba's... do things that you do are wrong, you can hide the truth from the world. Yuan Gong... Deputy General Zhang Yu, drinking blood from soldiers... I have evidence."

"I know the guerrilla general Wang Sheng... killing Liang and taking credit..."

At this point, I can't be polite anymore.

The emperor was burned, and now his life and death are unknown.

A group of people will die in Ningyuan City.

How do you prove that this fire was released by someone else?

That is to come and find fault quickly, and it is best to expose some people's bad behaviors on weekdays.

It was impossible for the imperial court to kill everyone in Ningyuan City.

It's like being chased by a tiger. You don't need to run faster than a tiger, you just need to run faster than others.

Yuan Chonghuan said lightly: "How could such a big thing be done by some deputy generals and guerrilla generals? These people are at most just gang members... In my opinion, I think... Those who dare to do such things will probably not be enough if they only explain such people."

Someone knew it, so he hurriedly said, "I heard that General Man Gui has raised more than 1,700 domestic slaves, Yuan Gong... All 1,700 people are slaves. Why did he raise so many private soldiers? Where did these domestic slaves come from? He has plenty of private soldiers, but on the other hand, the soldiers on the front line of Guanning have already owed countless wages. The soldiers are already dissatisfied and mutiny is imminent. Today, His Majesty severely criticized this matter. Could it be that someone is afraid of the crime? So... he simply did not do it, and he would not stop..."

Yuan Chonghuan said lightly: "Is that so? It seems that we need to check..."

…………

At this time, in the General Officer's Office.

General Man Gui had already returned anxiously, and a group of generals had been waiting anxiously here.
To be continued...
