The city of Xianyang caught fire last night, which is of course a big deal, not that the fire was much of a hazard.
He himself had set fire to the city of Xianyang.
The main thing is that this winter, or cold windy night, this want to start a fire, but also burned down two houses, can not be easy.
So Zhao Lang doubt whether someone deliberately arson, just this timing is also too stupid point, at least choose summer it.
That’s why I let the slave to explore the news.
“Yes, master, according to the probing at the scene it was said that it was burning because of the grease.”
“Grease? From the sky?”
Zhao Lang stroked his chin at this time, these words linked together made him think of something?
Could it be that the Royal Academy was experimenting with ink lamps?
That was possible, how come those little brats didn’t remember to tie a safety rope.
But with the size of the ink lamps, the oil paper lamps that could be carried inside wouldn’t be able to ignite a private house in this situation.
This makes Zhao Lang somewhat puzzled, da da mouth asked.
“Have you found any other traces, such as residual paper or something like that?”
He still wanted to confirm his guess.
Nu shook his head at this point and returned to.
“Master, when Nu arrived over there, the place was already surrounded by His Majesty’s guards, and even this bit of information was still inquired through friendship.”
Zhao Lang was stunned and said.
“Pops’ guards?”
It was only a misfire, what were Pops’ men doing out there?
Zhao Lang pondered slightly and quickly said.
“It just so happens that I haven’t seen Pops for a few days either, so I’ll go take a look.”
Soon Zhao Lang got up and headed towards Pops’ palace.
At this time, inside Emperor Qin Shi Huang’s palace.
Emperor Qin Shi Huang was asking Zhao Gao, in a rare and somewhat nervous manner, that
“How have things been handled? No traces were left behind, right?”
Zhao Gao shook his head and hastily said.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, the burnt homes, the old slave has already sent people to surround them all, no one can get in.”
“The remains of that ink lamp have also all been burnt away, no one will find out that it’s an ink lamp.”
Qin Shi Huang then nodded, but quickly said with a few regrets, saying.
“This time, the ink lamp has been able to carry over fifty pounds to fly, how come it crashed?”
The Great Qin Craftsmanship Supervisor had already tried many times, and had some results, and was now able to carry fifty pounds of things up into the sky.
But it is extremely unstable, that paper mache shell is easy to catch fire, and as long as the wind is a little stronger, the torch filled with grease below, it is easy to set the whole ink lamp on fire, and then crashed.
This time is not well controlled, the whole ink lamp caught fire, fell into the Xianyang city.
Fortunately, because of the cold weather and snow, although the light however Ming Chai, but the people inside have time to escape out.
Zhao Gao on the side accompanied the smile, but did not say anything.
Qin Shi Huang quickly ordered to that
“Find a reason to cover this matter up.”
Zhao Gao immediately took the order and was about to leave when the door of the palace was suddenly opened and Zhao Lang’s voice came through and
“Father, child has come to see you.”
Emperor Qin Shi Huang was slightly shocked and instantly gave Zhao Gao next to him a wink, then looked at Zhao Lang and said with a smile.
“Long’er doesn’t have to go to court today, why did you come over here?”
In his heart, however, he pondered that he would find an opportunity to retrieve the token that he had given to Long’er, which allowed him to enter and exit the palace at will.
What he was doing now, the other party would definitely oppose.
Hearing the question, Zhao Lang didn’t cover up and directly explained his intentions.
“Father, there was a fire in the city last night, and my child feels that there is something fishy.”
“Nu said that the scene was full of your people, so I wanted to come and ask about the situation.”
He didn’t need to do any calculations on his old dad, and he didn’t think he could count on the other side.
Most of the reason why he was able to make Pops eat his words before was because he was thousands of years ahead of his own vision, and he really wasn’t necessarily a match for Pops if he really wanted to talk about wisdom and calculation.
Hearing the question Qin Shi Huang immediately tightened his heart, but on the surface, he said extremely naturally.
“Well, it does happen, dad also think this winter inside the fire is too strange, so only sent people to check.”
“This result has not yet had time to ask, well, your Uncle Zhao is in charge of this matter, ask him.”
Saying this, Qin Shi Huang directly threw the question to Zhao Gao, Zhao Lang immediately looked towards the other party and
“Uncle Zhao can you see any clues at the scene? How cur said that a large amount of grease was found, did you find any paper or anything like that?”
Zhao Gao directly swallowed a mouthful of water at this time, covertly glaring at Nu before returning, the
“Your Highness the Crown Prince this old Lu has already checked, indeed there is quite a lot of grease, but did not find any paper, this looks like someone did it deliberately, perhaps it is the remnants of the six kingdoms…”
Only halfway through his words, Zhao Gao stopped because he felt that the reason he was looking for wasn’t very good.
Now that the remnants of the six kingdoms had basically recovered, except for…
Zhao Gao’s eyes lit up slightly, and he continued to say.
“Perhaps it’s the work of… the nobles who fled to Goguryeo among the remnants of the Six Kingdoms!”
Thinking about it, he could only find such a backstabber.
“Goguryeo nobles?”
Zhao Lang directly frowned, how could he not think that this matter would be related to Goguryeo.
Knowing that the other party’s roots were almost dug clean by him now, he actually still had the leisure to scourge Xianyang.
But it seemed to make sense, it might just be that he had been too hard on himself and these people were up in arms to retaliate.
And it is true that these Goguryeo nobles have ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah not self-satisfied tradition.
Otherwise they wouldn’t have dared to attack Liaodong in the first place.
Zhao Lang nodded at this time and said.
“Father I know, I’ll go and write a letter to Xiao Liu here, so that he can strike a little harder, he must strike fear into these people before he can do so.”
These people just eat hard but not soft, the harder they hit the more they are convinced.
To put it simply, they are cheap skins.
Hearing this, Qin Shi Huang nodded extremely dryly and said.
“These things, Wave Child, you can just arrange them.”
As long as Long’er doesn’t find out about his wish to go to heaven, the bad luck of these small barbarian countries in the neighbourhood is bad luck.
To be able to block disasters for him, it would be considered a blessing that these people had accumulated for several lifetimes.
The two of them talked for a while longer before Zhao Lang left.
After the other party left, Zhao Gao then said, with a few moments of worry.
“Your Majesty, now that His Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about this, then…”
Without waiting for the other party to finish his sentence, Qin Shi Huang said.
“There’s no harm in it, just have the smithing supervisor be more careful after that.”
No one could stop his plan to fly into the sky!
Zhao Gao could only lead the order to leave with a worried face.
Nu, who was carrying Zhao Lang back to the palace at this time, was actually full of misgivings in his heart.
Just based on the glance his teacher gave him, he was sure that this matter definitely had something to do with his teacher and His Majesty, but he didn’t intend to ask.
Being confused and pretending to be confused were different.
Being confused was a matter of ability, and pretending to be confused was a matter of loyalty.
There was a difference he could still tell.
All the way back to the palace, Zhao Lang quickly commanded that
“When the weather gets a little better, send a letter to Xiao Liu and tell him to step it up a bit, don’t let those people still have time to make small moves.”
Nu nodded and was about to leave, just then a Spider member left and came in to report that
“A letter from Xiang.”
