…

In the wind and snow.

Countless people in Taiyuan City were awakened.

Located in the west of the city, apart from Prince Jin's Mansion, it is the only pavilion in the entire Taiyuan city that is higher than the city wall. It stands silently behind the city wall, overlooking the Fen River to the west.

This is the most famous gold-selling den in Taiyuan City, Wangfen Tower.

The officials from the Chief Envoy's Department who came here from the government office rushed all the way to the outside of Wangfen Tower with their people.

It was already late at night, and even the boy who was guarding Wangfen downstairs had long been hiding behind the door, leaning against the stove and sleeping with his eyes squinted.

Bang bang bang.

The chief official of the Si Yamen came forward in person and knocked loudly on the door of Wangfen Tower.

"Open the door!"

"The chief envoy is from Si Yamen!"

"Open the door quickly!"

The official Zao Li had a look of urgency on his face. He knocked on the door and shouted while looking back at the fire on the other side of the Yamen.

Creak.

"Who... I don't know if this is hope..."

The door of Wangfenlou was knocked open, and the young man looked outside with an unhappy look on his face, cursing, and then his face trembled, showing nervousness.

"Young one...I don't know if I'm an official."

Zaoli snorted coldly, looked at the familiar scene in Wangfen Tower, which was like a wine pool and meat forest, and said in a deep voice: "The chief minister and the others are in the backyard?"

The boy's waist was almost bent into the Fenshui River, and he nodded repeatedly: "In the backyard, in the backyard."

"Take me there."

The official shouted lowly, waved his robe and walked into Wangfen Tower.

The boy rushed to the front and led the way.

Everyone passed through the front of Wangfen Tower and arrived at the villas at the back.

The wind and snow stopped on the precious trees of various colors that were carefully planted, and the winding and quiet paths isolated the various courtyards from each other.

The boy led Zaoli all the way to a courtyard and pointed inside: "The chief envoy is here."

Zaoli took a deep breath, stepped forward, pushed open the courtyard door, and walked directly to the door of the house.

Bang bang bang.

The knock on the door sounded again.

It's just that it's a little lighter than when I just opened Wangfen Tower.

The Zao official knocked on the door once, then stopped, raised his head and pressed it against the door: "The water in the pavilion and the treasury has leaked."

Zaoli paused for a moment, but saw no movement in the room.

Then he continued to knock on the door.

Bang bang bang.

Bang bang bang.

"who?"

Finally, a deep voice came from the room, followed by some messy footsteps.

The Zao official standing at the door said again: "The water in the pavilion in the vassal tower has leaked."

"What!"

Sun Gong, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province and the chief envoy of Sizuo, opened his eyes wide and opened the door of the house.

Apart from a close-fitting undershirt, he only wore a long gown.

As soon as the door opened, the cold wind outside rushed in, making Changsun Gong shiver involuntarily.

The official Zao hurriedly entered the house, not daring to take another look at the messy and ambiguous back room. He hurriedly fetched Changsun Gong's robe and cloak, and led the servants to put them on carefully.

Zaoli continued to explain: "Not long ago, water suddenly ran out of the cabinet storehouse over the yamen, and the fire became more and more intense. The people in the yamen were already putting out the fire. I was thinking... so I hurried over.

Connected to the feudal lord."

Changsun Gong's face was extremely gloomy, and he snorted coldly: "Why are you guarding the Jia Ge Treasury!"

After he finished speaking, he looked down at the clothes that the guards had been trying to put on for a long time and couldn't fix them, and snorted again: "A bunch of idiots!"

With a cold drink, Changsun Gong turned around and entered the back room.

Soon, several women's voices came out.

Changsun Gong's voice also came from inside: "Go and wake up Zhitai, Junmen, and others!"

The official quickly nodded his head and said, "I accept your order."

After saying this, Zaoli hurriedly turned around and left the house, not daring to stop at all.

Half an hour passed.

Outside Wangfen Tower, a large group of Shanxi Provincial officials, smelling of rouge and alcohol, finally gathered.

The one in red robe got on the sedan, and the one in green robe didn't want to ride a horse, so everyone got on the bullock cart.

A large group of Wuyangyang people began to move toward the sea of ​​​​fire at the government office.

From Wangfen Tower to the government office, you have to pass by the Li Mansion Courtyard.

When the team starting from Wangfen Tower arrived on the street in front of the Li Mansion Courtyard.

The curtain of Changsun Gong's sedan chair was lifted a corner.

In front of the Li Mansion courtyard, lanterns were lit one after another. Even at this time, under the wind and snow, several servants of the Li Mansion were still standing in front of the door.

Changsun Gong's eyes flickered, it was impossible for anyone to sleep tonight.

He didn't even glance at it, just watched as the gate of Li Mansion gradually disappeared from his sight.

In the courtyard of Li Mansion, there is a three-story attic in the backyard.

The entire attic was bright, and luxurious lanterns were lit, lighting up the surroundings like pillars of fire on this snowy night.

On the third floor of the attic, Li Wenxiang was wrapped in a snow fox fur that was completely white with no streaks of color, and his eyes were quietly looking at the government cabinet that was still burning on fire.

There were four other people beside him.

White Lotus Sect, King Han Ming and Liu Zongsheng.

I only have Arutai from the Tatar tribe and his son Ab.

Liu Zongsheng's eyes were bright and he looked at the government cabinet that had turned into a sea of ​​flames with a smile.

He said quietly: "This fire is burning well."

Li Wenxiang sighed: "This fire has caused the entire Shanxi Road's accounting archives to be lost. It will take a lot of time and money to repair it."

Arutai's eyes were fierce and cold, and he said sullenly: "Are you Mingren always so cunning and cunning?"

Liu Zongsheng immediately looked at Alutai: "On King Jin's birthday in a few days, we have to ask the magistrate if we can seize the gate of the prince's palace so that we can enter the prince's palace."

Arutai sneered.

"It's just a piece of cake."
