Zhu Yunwen said blaming himself.

Qiuniang blinked and shook her head: "That person who came to the house just now?"

Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then he realized: "You haven't fallen asleep?"

"Some can't sleep."

In the room, Qiuniang's voice was small and soft.

Zhu Yunwen got into the quilt, pressed the quilt on Qiuniang's body tightly, leaned in front of him and whispered: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer and we will go back to Jiangnan and go home."

"Fengyang is not considered Jiangnan."

"Yingtian is Jiangnan." Zhu Yunwen's eyes showed a bit of heartache, and he comforted: "When the New Year is over, when the spring is warm and the flowers bloom next year, we will be in Jiangnan."

"What's there in Jiangnan?"

"Jiangnan... the new tea before the rain is always refreshing. In summer, it's best to go on a boat to pick lotus flowers. In autumn, it's best to go out for a walk in the warm afternoon. In winter, it's natural to cook tea around the stove and eat some baked goods."

"Erlang will take me with him."

"Yes, I will definitely do it. All year round, all my life."

"Then I'm sleepy."

"Go to sleep."

…

The fire in the government palace burned all night.

When it was almost dawn, because there was really nothing to burn, the fire was finally extinguished with some reluctance.

When daybreak came, the snow that had been falling since yesterday finally stopped.

The dark clouds dispersed, the sky was filled with morning sun, and the morning light shone on the earth and the snow, making the world between heaven and earth brighter and purer than before.

We just entered Taiyuan City and reached the vicinity of the official residence.

Before we arrived at Jiageku, the pure white snow on the ground had long since turned pitch black and covered with dust.

Next to the three government offices, two pavilions and warehouses have been turned into ruins.

The burned wood will break and collapse at any time, causing the height of the ruins to decrease again and again.

The heat remaining under the ruins is still spreading outwards, leaving no trace of snow around.

Melted snow water fell from the eaves.

It ticked and kept ringing.

In this ruins, a large group of people gathered.

Blue-gray official uniforms and green official robes.

Among this large group of people, several government officials in official uniforms were tied up and knelt on the ground.

Several men in red robes were standing close by. Their official robes were stained with dust, and their white boots were blackened and wet with snow.

Changsun Gong's face was gloomy, his hands were hidden in his sleeves and clasped behind his back.

Just like him, he was accompanied by Shanxi Dao Anchao Si An Chao Zhou Yunkun, Shanxi Daodu Commander Sidu Commander Liu Liang, Taiyuan Prefecture Magistrate Song Shenggui, and Yangqu County Magistrate Yue Xinghui.

These are the chief officials of various yamen in Taiyuan City.

Behind them are the subordinate officials of their respective yamen.

"Jiageku is a place where the court is responsible for the military and political archives. It is related to the long-term peace and stability of the place and the people's livelihood.

Now the Shanxi Dao governor's Sijia Geku was burned, and the Jiage treasury in Taiyuan Prefecture and Yangqu County was burned.

The stakes are high and the crime is unforgivable."

Zhou Yunkun, the inspector general of Shanxi Province, looked gloomy and spoke in a cold tone.

Liu Liang, the commander of Shanxi Daodu, whispered: "With the city gate open, His Highness Taisun will definitely know the cause of the fire in the city last night."

Changsun Gong had a dark face.

His face was really dark, because it was caused by the ashes falling on his face from the sky full of tickets after he rushed from Wangfen Tower last night.

And he didn't clean it off.

Changsun Gong had a dark face and said coldly: "Has everything been investigated in Taiwan?"

Zhou Yunkun nodded and looked at the tied people kneeling on the ground with a cold face: "The inspector general has found out the truth about the fire in the government warehouse last night. It was because these silverfish were trying to keep warm and burned in the warehouse.

A charcoal fire was ignited in the middle of the house. It was because he had been dozing off all night, neglected his duty, and left his duty without permission. The stove he had built fell to the ground and ignited the warehouse, which led to the fire."

The few people kneeling on the ground immediately fell to the ground with a thud.

"A small crime deserves death."

"Please forgive me."

"The feudal lord spared my little one's life."

"I know my mistakes, and I will never make them again..."

"..."

There was a cry for mercy from the crowd on the ruins.

Changsun Gong had a dark face and said angrily: "The local government's Jigeku is just like the Huangceku on Xuanwu Lake. Now that the Jigeku has been burned, are you still trying to survive?"

His face was gloomy, and he turned to look at Zhou Yunkun: "Jiageku was burned because of a minor official's dereliction of duty. What crime was he charged and what was his punishment?"

Zhou Yunkun glanced at the people kneeling on the ground out of the corner of his eye.

He said in a cold voice: "The relationship between the Jigeku and the Treasury is very important. It involves the local area. It was burned today. The mistake of a minor official should be punished with heavy punishment. According to the decision of the Inspectorate, he will be executed and the three tribes will be exiled for three thousand miles."

Changsun Gong immediately took over the words: "Come here, behead these people. According to the investigation and envoy, the chief envoy will report to the emperor's grandson's presence."

The master of Fantai who was in charge of Shanxi issued an order.

At that moment, several ferocious, wolf-like and tiger-like officers with swords rushed out and dragged away the officials who were guarding the cabinet.

After a while, several shrill screams were heard not far away.

Guo Yuchuang, the political envoy of Shanxi Province, sitting on the left side of Siyamen, said in a low voice behind Changsun Gong: "Go back to the feudal lord and write the memorial. I will send someone to Taisun Xingzai outside the city."

Changsun Gong looked at the ruins of the Jiageku, which occasionally made crashing sounds and emitted black smoke, with an imperceptible sneer flashing in his eyes.

"go."

A quarter of an hour.

Outside Taiyuan North City, walking in the camp.

Gao Yangzhi looked at the retreating figures of the officers sent by Si Yamen, the chief envoy of Shanxi Province, and turned back to the Chinese army's tent.

Inside the tent, all the civil servants and generals from the Northern Patrol gathered here.

Zhu Yunxi, who was sitting high on the white tiger chair in the army, looked gloomy.

In his hand he was holding a memorial sent by the Chief Envoy of Shanxi Province.

Throw the memorial on the case.

Zhu Yunxi sneered twice.

"I never thought that the Ming government could be so efficient in investigating cases!"
