The Dou family was finished, the Dou family was finished…
Under the pitch-black night sky, the crowds of people gathered in the various workshops. The Martial Marquises in the corners of the workshops were extremely busy, making a ruckus to maintain public order.
The sound of the explosion caused the livestock in the surrounding courtyard to scream and neigh, and the chickens and dogs were in a state of panic.
The patrolling guards went straight to the Dou family. When they reached the door, they were completely dumbfounded. When had they ever seen such a big fire? Even if someone had set the fire, it was impossible for it to spread so quickly in such a short period of time.
The choking smoke and the sea of fire that filled the sky burned the entire Dou family.
The few Public Houses nearby were the first to discover the situation. They ran out of their residences one by one. When they saw the situation, they stopped and stared at each other in shock.
A name popped up in everyone's mind-Jiang Yi!
The closest one was Zhangsun Wuji's residence. His mouth was full of stubble as he shouted,"Hurry up and report to His Majesty. The soldiers of our family, go save them…"
He still had to put on an act, even though the so-called rescue might not be able to rush in.
The soldiers and servants of the High Duke's Public House had arrived, and even the Golden Guards were busy. They poured a basin of water and a handful of soil on the fire. However, the fire was too big, and it was as difficult as filling the sea with Jingwei.
In just a short while, many people choked until tears flowed.
In the Imperial Palace.
Li Er, who had just laid down to rest, was frightened out of bed by the explosions. As soon as he left the bedroom, he could clearly see the sea of fire in the distance through the palace wall.
"Quickly send someone to investigate. Whose manor was on fire?”
Just as Li Er finished speaking, the old eunuch swayed his heavy body and sprawled on the ground."Your Majesty, that's the Dou Manor. The Golden Guards just sent news that the Dou Manor was completely burned down by that towering fire.”
"What is it? Burn them all?"
Li Er's body trembled." Then what was the reason for the explosion just now?" Have you investigated?"
"Your Majesty, this old servant does not know." The old eunuch shook his head. At this moment, outsiders were definitely unable to enter. The fire was really too big.”
"Go and check it out quickly. If there are any changes, report it as soon as possible.”
Li Er sent the old eunuch away. With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the raging fire that was still burning, and his expression became more and more gloomy.
Jiang Yi!
Li Er couldn't think of anyone else other than him.
This was simply a terrifying Demon God.
He had only been in the Great Tang for two months, but he claimed that his family had suffered a shipwreck and that he had the technology of a heaven-made object. However, he was willing to stay in the countryside and did not like official career.
Now, the Dou family was humiliated in a day just because they provoked him. I didn't punish the Dou family, but they were destroyed.
What a terrifying person!
Li Er secretly sucked in a breath of cold air. His turbid pupils emitted a trace of brightness as he muttered,"Such a person is actually so terrifying. If I punish him in the future, wouldn't even my imperial palace suffer this calamity?”
No one answered him.
Don't talk to the world, talk to the mountain ghost!
Li Er gradually realized that Jiang Yi was a dangerous person, even a terrifying one.
But the Great Tang needed Jiang Yi.
Li Er was even more aware that he was the ruler of a country and was above everyone else. In this world, he had the most authority. However, if he subdued Jiang Yi, he could ensure the safety of the Great Tang forever and even change the lives of the people for thousands of years.
This was the most important thing for the ruler of a country.
But what if he could not subdue Jiang Yi?
Li Erde's eyes revealed a hint of undetectable killing intent.
The fire in the Dou family's residence burned for four hours. It was only extinguished when dawn approached. When the guards in the city rushed in, only piles of charred limbs were left.
The originally huge courtyard was now in a mess. It was impossible to distinguish the original layout of the house, leaving only the smell of burnt blood in the air.
It was almost dawn.
In a hazy moment, the bell and drum at the front gate of Taiji Palace sounded. The people of Chang 'an, who had been under curfew for a night, rushed out of the district and headed straight for the Dou family.
At this moment, the Dou family's ruined courtyard was guarded by guards inside and outside.
The Ministry of Justice came to investigate, but unfortunately, they could not find anything.
Du Ruhui, the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, and Zhangsun Wuji, who was in charge of Chang 'an's security, had come. The two of them stood in the courtyard under the dim morning light. They patrolled around and sighed.
"What kind of thing can have such destructive power?”
Du Ruhui pinched an arm and muttered,""Is this Jiang Yi really that terrifying?”
"From the moment he appeared, the Great Tang was destined to change its course.”
Zhangsun Wuji let out a long sigh of worry. He looked at the rising sun in the east and said,"I hope Your Majesty can control this person.”
"Minister, do you mean that His Majesty intends to let Jiang Yi do as he pleases?”
Du Ruhui was stunned and widened his eyes in surprise."Why is this? Jiang Yi was definitely beyond the reach of ordinary people, but he didn't have to be so bold, right?”
"Minister Du, who is His Majesty? In this chaotic era of the Sui Dynasty, how could he not know about Jiang Yi's petty tricks?”Zhangsun Wuji chuckled and shook his head."It's just that His Majesty is gambling."
"Bet what we indulge today in exchange for the prosperity of the Great Tang in the future?”Du Ruhui was shocked. After all, he was still the emperor. When he saw Zhangsun Wuji's smile, he immediately understood.
Gradually, Du Ruhui felt relieved, but he said in fear,""In that case, all of His Majesty's indulgence was because he was waiting for Jiang Yi to bring something to His Majesty.”
"His Majesty also has a bottom line. The royal family and even political power were the bottom line of the Emperor. If Jiang Yi didn't get involved in this matter, what could he do even if he was arrogant? Moreover, Jiang Yi did not like to be an official in the court. This made the Emperor happy but also worried.”
Zhangsun Wuji waved his hand indifferently and turned around.""Forget it. Minister Du, if you don't leave now, you won't be able to make it to the morning court.”
