After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

"what?"

Everyone was shocked: "Everyone on the street is dead?"

Yan Qing was also shocked.

Gu Huaizhou whispered in her ear, "When the princess passed through Fanyang, she heard that a street there was flooded and burned down, and the fire lasted for five days and five nights."

Yan Qing's eyes suddenly widened!

This happened!

She guessed that Gongsun Zhi and Lu Mingyue must have a past, and she also guessed that Gongsun Zhi had suffered great injustice, but she didn't expect that it was the blood feud of an entire street!

But why didn’t such a big thing spread to Kyoto?

As if he knew what Yan Qing was thinking, Gu Huaizhou continued in a low voice: "He has attached himself to the eldest princess, and the Fanyang Lu family will naturally help cover it up for him..."

Yan Qing suddenly realized.

Earlier in the gambling house, I heard that person say that Lu Mingyue was from a branch of the Fanyang clan. Because her father married a prostitute, the whole family was expelled from the Lu clan. Later, she ran into the eldest princess...

With the eldest princess as a big Buddha, Lu Mingyue can naturally trace his roots. And if the Lu family of Fanyang wants to curry favor with the eldest princess, it is only natural that they have to serve Lu Mingyue well and cover up something for him.

The Lu family is extremely famous in Fanyang, and they are the only ones who can cover up such a big thing.

But that's a whole street!

How dare Lu Mingyue?

Wait, how does Gu Huaizhou know so clearly?

Yan Qing looked at Gu Huaizhou suspiciously and whispered, "Cousin, how do you know this?"

Even if he is the emperor's illegitimate son, he shouldn't pay attention to a concubine...

Gu Huaizhou said calmly, "Prince Jing told me."

Yan Qing looked at Prince Jing with suspicion.

Prince Jing was already crying like a tearful man: "It's tragic! It's so tragic! How can I describe it with just one word!"

Yan Qing: “…”

"cough!"

Just as Yan Qing and Gu Huaizhou were whispering to each other, a cough, neither light nor heavy, suddenly interrupted her.

Yan Qing looked up and saw her uncle looking at her with disapproval.

Yan Qing: “…………”

Did my uncle misunderstand something?

Over there, Lord Wang, the Minister of the Supreme Court, had already handed Gongsun Zhi's petition to Lord Sun, the Left Deputy Inspector-General, and Lord Li, the Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, for mutual circulation.

Lord Wang said with a grave expression, "Gongsun Zhi, you are suing your husband, Lu Mingyue, for setting fire to the people of Rainbow Street in Fanyang and for pushing your parents off a cliff. Do you have any evidence?"

"Have!"

Gongsun Zhi said firmly, "I not only have evidence, but also witnesses..."

"and many more!"

The King of Qi suddenly interrupted her.

He didn't know what Gongsun Zhi's petition contained, but no matter what it was, he didn't want to proceed. So the King of Qi glanced at Lord Sun and said to Lord Wang, the Minister of Justice, "Lord Wang, since Gongsun Zhi has admitted to the murder, shouldn't she be imprisoned immediately and executed the next day?"

Lord Sun tossed the complaint to Lord Li and nodded, saying, "Your Highness the Prince of Qi is correct. In my opinion, it would be better to have Gongsun Zhi imprisoned first!"

Lord Wang gave Lord Sun a cold look.

He turned to look at the Jingzhao prefect: "What do you think, Lord Li?"

Lord Li regained his composure from the petition. He glanced at Gongsun Zhi and sighed, "I believe this case has far-reaching implications. Your Excellency is a master judge, and will surely see through everything!"

Lord Wang immediately said, "Since that's the case, I will try Gongsun Zhi's assassination of Lu Mingyue together with the fire on Rainbow Street in Fanyang ten years ago. Gongsun Zhi, since you said you have a witness, then summon him to the court!"

Gongsun Zhi raised her head and glanced at the crowd.

Zhao Hu, who had been waiting outside, immediately waved away everyone and asked someone to carry two wooden frames into the hall.

There are two... people lying on the wooden frame?

The reason for the uncertainty is that although the two men were wearing intact clothes, their physical appearance was extremely terrifying.

One man's legs were like dead branches, his trouser legs were empty, and his exposed arms were covered with twisted and protruding scars. It was obvious that he had been burned.

The other man had sparse hair, half of his face was engulfed in flames, and only the eye socket was left of one of his eyes. When he looked around at people, the onlookers were frightened and screamed!

Even the princes present were shocked.

Prince Jing jumped up in shock: "Wow wow wow what is this thing? Ziyuan, protect me!"

Lord Wang's pupils narrowed slightly. He picked up the gavel and slammed it hard, staring at the two people on the stretchers below and said, "Who is here? Tell me your name!"

"Common people are noble."

"Commoner Zhang Fu."

Two unpleasant voices rang out simultaneously: "I swear on my life to sue Lu Mingyue for setting fire to the street and burning alive 176 people on Rainbow Street!"

Everyone at the scene who was frightened by the two men suddenly quieted down after hearing the harsh, hoarse but extremely tenacious voice.

Because that short sentence contained great grief and pain for the two of them!

Without waiting for Lord Wang to ask, Wang Gui and Zhang Fu slowly revealed a shocking secret case...

On the summer solstice ten years ago, the entire Rainbow Street was hung with white banners and paper money was flying in the sky. All the neighbors wore mourning clothes and chanted scriptures in silence for the deceased.

Because Lu Mingyue's parents crashed to death in front of the gate of the Fanyang Lu family in order to let Lu Mingyue return to her ancestral home.

The neighbors were all very sad for the Lu family.

Especially Su Xiucai's family.

When Lu's father was kicked out of the Lu clan, it was Su Xiucai's family who took him in and guaranteed that Lu's father and his wife could live in Rainbow Street.

Later, the two families became friends, and the wives of both families became pregnant. They agreed that if the babies were both boys, they would become brothers with different surnames; if the babies were both girls, they would become sisters; and if the babies were both boys and girls, they would become a couple.

Soon, the Lu family gave birth to a son.

The Su family gave birth to a daughter.

The two families became engaged from then on.

It was thought that the Su and Lu families would live in harmony, but unexpectedly, Lu's father and mother died in front of the Lu family's gate in order to let Lu Mingyue return to her ancestral home.

The Lu family was poor and had only one son, Lu Mingyue.

Su Xiucai couldn't bear it, so he took the initiative to move the bodies of Lu's father and mother back to Rainbow Street and took care of the funeral arrangements.

Residents from the entire street also went to help.

That day, Lu Mingyue knelt in front of the mourning hall, and her lonely back made people feel distressed.

In the evening, he took out the wine brewed by his father Lu from home and thanked his neighbors one by one for their care and support over the years.

Only Su Xiucai's family was busy with the burial arrangements for the next day and did not drink.

As a result, Rainbow Street suddenly caught fire that night.

The fire started from nowhere and spread to the entire street, while everyone on the street was unconscious.

There are more than fifty households and a total of one hundred and seventy-six people.

Old people, children...

All were burned to death in that fire.

Afterwards, the government simply classified it as an accident and did not even send anyone to investigate. This incident that shocked the entire Fanyang was just lightly covered up, and no one reported it to the capital!
