Chapter 435

The sound of "bang bang ~" rang in the silent room, and Xiao Yiqi's ugly face became more and more gloomy.

"Come on, get up. I'll try my best to protect you."

He rubbed his sore eyebrows in a deep voice.

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie..."

He Changtian didn't thank him repeatedly. A touch of relief appeared on his face full of fear.

Less than an hour ago, a fire broke out in the attic of Dali temple where the files were stored. The fire was so severe that there was no time to put out the fire. All the files and documents stored in the attic were destroyed.

Such a big crime is beyond his ability to bear.

Therefore, after knowing that everything could not be retrieved, he Changtian, regardless of everything, came to king Qi's residence and asked Xiao Yiqi for help.

The reason why he chose Xiao Yiqi is that many years ago, before he became an official, he had a chance to save Xiao Yiqi's life.

"Go back and deal with the aftermath for a while. As for other matters, I will mediate for you."

Since taking over the Ministry of punishment, trouble has never stopped.

After seeing off the Three Kingdoms mission and dealing with the accumulated documents of the Ministry of punishment, the Dali temple, which is located in the Forbidden Palace, was set on fire again

At this moment, Xiao Yiqi only feels the pain of brain benevolence!

He Changtian left contentedly, just at the gate of Dongyuan, where Xia Jin met.

Xia Jin didn't have to take part in the early Dynasty, so she had little contact with most of the officials in the dynasty, and could not fully understand the culture and military of the Manchu Dynasty according to her face.

However, she knew a lot about the positions, names, loyalties and traitors, and the styles of court clothes.

According to the official dress he Changtian wears, Xia Jin recognizes him as the Minister of Dali temple.

Seeing that he Changtian was in a mess, there was even a hole in his robe that was obviously burned by the fire. Xia Jin was shocked, and her temple suddenly jumped.

Before bailihong left, he said that Xiao Yiqi should have something to do with the fire when he saw her.

In front of him, the dark faced Minister of Dali Temple obviously came from the fire

I'm not bailihong who set fire at some time when she didn't pay attention?

"Lord he, but something happened to Dali temple?"

Thinking, Xia Jin immediately inquired from he Changtian.

"Well, before dawn today, the attic of Dali temple where the files are stored suddenly got flooded, and all the files and documents in the attic were destroyed."

He Changtian's face was distressed and his tone was heavy.

Although the king of Qi had promised to protect him, his position as the Minister of Dali temple was definitely lost.

Even the official road will have no bright future!

He Changtian's words confirm Xia Jin's conjecture. She bent slightly toward He Changtian with guilt and arched her hand

"The situation will be grim in the future. I hope Mr. He will take care of himself."

"Thank you for Xia Tixing. I have to go back to deal with the follow-up matters, so I will leave for the time being."

He Changtian called himself "the official" in front of Xia Jin.

Seeing he Changtian leave, Xia Jin walks quickly to Xiao Yiqi's study.

As soon as she stepped into it, she felt the atmosphere of condensation and depression.

"Lord Qi..."

Xia jinchong and Xiao Yi made a convenient ceremony together. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't say it.

She has an unshirkable responsibility for the fire in Dali temple. At this time, even if she talks too much, she is just hypocritical.

"You know that?"

Xiao Yiqi saw the tangle on Xia Jin's face, but did not associate it with Xia Jin and the fire. Only when she knew about the water leakage of Dali temple, she was embarrassed.

Xia Jin knew that she could not confess to Xiao Yiqi at this time, so she nodded her head

"I just met Lord he. He has told me about it."

"The fire started from the third floor. Because the attic was made of wood, the fire spread up and down quickly. There was no time to put out the fire. All the files were burned. The third layer is full of documents with a long history. Few people go there all the year round, and there are no candles. This fire can only be set on purpose. "

Xiao Yiqi's eyebrows are thick and wrinkled, and his tone is dangerous. If he knows who the arsonist is, he has to beat his teeth all over the place, and make trouble for him!

"I don't know if there's a clue right now?"

Looking at Xiao Yiqi's headache and distress, Xia Jin's face is still, but her heart is empty.

Hearing this, Xiao Yiqi shook his head.

Xia Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, she and bailihong had been acting in a crisp way. Since this matter has not been discovered, there will be no further progress in the future.

However, thinking about the plight of he Changtian, the Minister of Dali temple, and the person who took the job last night, Xia Jin felt deeply guilty.

She looked at Xiao Yiqi and thought over her words.

"Dali temple is located in the palace city. For the moment, regardless of its strict security, it is difficult for ordinary people to sneak into the palace alone. If the arsonist is not a person in the palace, he must be a top-notch expert in the contemporary era. The responsibility for this fire really can't fall on the officials and guards of Dali temple."

"I don't understand what you said, but I'm afraid it's not easy for my father to have a good relationship with the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty."

Everyone knows the truth, but it's not just the truth in the court.

Although the Eastern Qing Dynasty was prosperous, the formation of three or five groups of officials was inevitable.

The Minister of Dali temple was not in other places.

This time when Dali temple is in water, the court hall will start a war without gunpowder because of the way to deal with him.

When he was in the throne, he needed to balance the parties and maintain the stability of the officialdom. It was very difficult to make a light sentence because he was excusable.

Dali temple, I am afraid that in the near future, a new round of blood exchange.

"Xia Jin, do you think the fire last night was a secret fight between the officials of the imperial court?"

Xiao Yiqi suddenly looks up at Xia Jin with sharp eyes.

Fortunately, Xia Jin's psychology is strong, otherwise she will show a flaw in her eyes.

She quietly clenched her hand in her sleeve and told herself to face it calmly and not to show any flaws. Otherwise, the general of Zhennan was afraid that she would bear the stigma forever, so she could not tell the little girl what kind of hero her father was when she rescued xiaoyueyue!

Xia Jin frowned and spoke slowly after weighing in her heart

"I don't agree with you. Of course, there will be open and secret fights among officials, but it is a great provocation to the royal family to drag this struggle into the palace city. If it is dealt with more seriously, it will be a great crime to annihilate the nine nationalities. Those officials will not do so if they have a normal mind! "

In officialdom, you can fight against the civil and military power of the imperial court, even against the heaven and the earth, but you must not fight against the emperor on the Dragon chair.

Xiao Yiqi put forward such Xiaobai's conjecture, is it not to test her?

Xiao Yiqi didn't know Xia Jin was guilty. She nodded her head in recognition of what she said.
