Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 313: Transferring Hatred

Tianxuan glanced at Xiao Jingyi's expression and continued to report:

"But there were quite a few injured people, most of them inhaled some smoke and had minor burns."

"Only two people suffered serious burns and have been sent to Heian Hall for treatment."

When Xiao Jingyi learned that no one died in the fire, his expression softened a little.

Fortunately, Yun Fuling arrived at the scene in time and treated the injured in the fire in time, so that the situation did not develop in the worst direction.

He looked around but did not see Yun Fuling.

"Where is the princess?"

Tianxuan said: "The princess followed the two seriously injured patients to Ping An Hall."

Xiao Jingyi nodded when he heard this and said nothing.

Yun Fuling is with the wounded, so there won't be any trouble for the time being.

Later he will compensate those innocent injured people, and the public grievances will be appeased.

Xiao Jingyi turned his attention back to the present.

He looked at the burnt and tattered Jinyu Building and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Tianxuan looked ashamed and knelt down, saying, "I have failed the prince's trust. The fire happened suddenly and I have not found anything useful yet."

"As soon as the fire started, everyone in the Jinyu Building fled. The scene was too chaotic."

"I was afraid of hurting innocent people, so I didn't dare to keep them in the Jinyu Tower anymore. I had to open a hole and let them out."

"Although I have arranged for someone to monitor secretly in advance, if someone escapes from the Jinyu Building, they will follow them secretly."

"The Moon Clan's Imperial Master will definitely take advantage of the chaos to escape."

"But the scene was chaotic, and there were too many people rushing out. The people I arranged for have dispersed to chase them, but no news has been sent back yet."

Tianxuan no longer had any hope in his heart.

Originally, the net was cast at a fixed point, and all one had to do was chase a fish and catch it.

Now it has become like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I'm afraid most of the people he arranged will return empty-handed.

Xiao Jingyi had expected this, so his expression didn't look too bad at this moment.

The Moon Clan's Imperial Master escaped, and the Golden Jade Tower was burned down, so there was no need to heavily guard the place anymore.

Xiao Jingyi took a look around the scene and then changed his route to Ping'an Hall.

As for the original owner and clerks of Jinyu Tower, they were all locked up and imprisoned.

Those gamblers in Jinyulou can run away, and it will be difficult to catch them afterwards.

After all, there were no surveillance cameras in that era, and we could not check the surveillance video to determine who was at the scene.

But these shopkeepers and assistants are all on the roster and cannot escape even if they want to.

Before leaving, Xiao Jingyi glanced at Tianxuan and said, "You failed to do your job well. You will be punished with ten military sticks when you return!"

Xiao Jingyi knew in his heart that Tianxuan acted decisively today and put out the fire and rescued people in time, so things did not get worse, so he could be considered to have made some small contribution.

But he really didn't do the things I asked him to do.

Xiao Jingyi sent his men out to work on multiple clues at the same time, but there was a mistake with Tianxuan.

If you can't clearly distinguish between rewards and punishments, how can you convince the people?

Merits should be rewarded, mistakes should be punished!

Xiao Jingyi punished Tianxuan with ten military sticks in public.

Tianxuan immediately responded respectfully, not daring to express the slightest dissatisfaction.

He was mentally prepared to be punished.

He was only punished with ten military sticks, which was much lighter than he expected.

And just by looking at the punishment, one could tell that the prince was quite satisfied with how he handled the fire in Jinyu Tower today.

After he has been punished, he will continue to be used.

Tianxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Jingyi rushed to Ping'an Hall, revealed his identity as King Yi, and briefly explained to the injured people the reason for sending troops to surround Jinyu Tower.

"I wanted to catch the criminal in the act."

"But I never thought that the man was so cruel that he set fire to the Jinyu Building in order to escape capture."

"It was my fault for not thinking carefully, and everyone was harmed innocently."

"Today, the medical expenses of anyone injured in the fire at the Jinyu Building will be paid by me."

"In addition, those who are slightly injured can get five taels of silver, and those who are seriously injured can get ten taels of silver."

"I heard that two people were severely burned. These two people will receive 20 taels of silver."

"This silver is a small token of my appreciation to help the injured."

"I will have someone deliver the silver later!"

When the injured heard this, most of their resentment disappeared instantly.

Now thinking back, when Jinyulou was surrounded by people last night, the leader did say what case he wanted to investigate.

When the fire broke out, the officers and soldiers did not force them to stay in the Jinyu Tower. Instead, they rushed into the building to put out the fire and save people.

If not for this, they would probably not only be injured, but would most likely die in the fire.

Now that Prince Yi had appeared, he was not only humble and explained the whole matter to them, but he also paid for their medical expenses and compensated them with an additional sum of money.

In an instant, all the resentment in everyone's hearts was transferred to the arsonist.

He was full of gratitude towards Xiao Jingyi.

After Xiao Jingyi comforted the injured people, he walked towards Yun Fuling.

Yun Fuling was full of admiration for Xiao Jingyi when she saw how he easily resolved a crisis, turned the disadvantage around and won the hearts of the people.

Seeing Yun Fuling's half-smile, Xiao Jingyi touched his nose uncomfortably.

It was true that he felt guilty towards these people and wanted to compensate them.

It is also true that those words were said deliberately to appease them and thereby eliminate public grievances.

Yun Fuling smiled and took the initiative to say, "Although some people were severely burned, their lives are not in danger."

As no one was killed in the fire at Jinyulou, the situation is still under control.

As the two were talking, someone suddenly broke into Ping An Hall.

"Help! Please save my young master!"

A group of servants carried in a young man in a brocade robe.

The young man was skinny, his eyes rolled back, he was foaming at the mouth, and his whole body was twitching.

When Yun Fuling saw it, she suspected that he had taken an overdose of golden paste.

After asking the servants who came with them, Yun Fuling's guess was absolutely correct.

This person was sucking the golden paste when he suddenly fell to the ground and his whole body convulsed.

The servants around him were shocked and quickly carried the man to Ping An Hall for treatment.

Yun Fuling immediately took out the needle bag and gave him a few injections, which finally temporarily relieved his symptoms.

Yun Fuling wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked up and saw Xiao Jingyi was still there, so she said, "I may have to stay in Ping An Hall from now on."

"There must be many people in the city who have been poisoned by the golden paste. Although they are greedy for enjoyment, they are also victims."

"Can save one is one!"

"Leave the rescue to me, and you should do what you are supposed to do!"

Xiao Jingyi shook Yun Fuling's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Yun Fuling smiled and said, "I'm a doctor. I save the dying and heal the wounded. This is what I should do."

Xiao Jingyi remembered something and immediately said, "Please take some time to go to the government office. There are a few portraits that need you to paint."
