Li Xiu did not take the matter of the monk Huiming to heart, and after he rested at home for a few days, he had to go to the financial management supervisor again. Although the entire financial management supervisor is on track and there are not many things that he needs to worry about, some important things still require him to make decisions. For example, he has not come these days, and there are a lot of things in the prison.

Fortunately, after dealing with the backlog, there were not many things to do on the go, which made Li Xiu not have to be as busy as before. He didn't even have time to go home. Gradually, he got used to this regular life. He got up every morning and rushed to the financial management supervisor to handle matters, had lunch in the prison at noon, and went home at dusk, and had dinner with his family to have dinner with his family. His life was peaceful and peaceful.

However, the only thing that made Li Xiu a little unhappy was that Li Shimin, the big boss, seemed to be unable to see him being so leisurely, and he would call him to Liangyi Hall from time to time to discuss matters. It just so happened that the financial management supervisor was originally in the imperial city. He walked north through the palace gate and was Tai Chi Palace. It was so convenient that Li Xiu could not even find the reason for refusal.

Originally, Li Xiu thought life would continue so peacefully, and the weather was getting colder and colder. He saw that this year's winter was coming, but when he thought of next year, Li Xiu couldn't help but have a headache because he thought of the letter he had given to him before, and he also agreed to Zhang Shiyi to give him a reply next year.

That evening, Li Xiu was still riding a carriage home as usual. When passing by the intersection in front of his house, Li Xiu thought of the monk Huiming who was standing here last time. Since he had someone throw him to the north of the city last time, he heard from Xu Duwei that the other party had run back once, but was driven away by Xu Duwei. Since then, the other party has never come again.

Thinking of the above, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile easily. It seemed that although the monk Huiming was a little stupid, he was not stupid enough yet. At least he knew how to retreat. If all the monks in the world were like him, Wei Zheng, Fu Yi and others would be much more relaxed.

When Li Xiu returned home, dinner had already been prepared. Princess Pingyang hugged Li Luo and chatted with Yi Niang and Yuechan while waiting for Li Xiu. When she saw him coming back, the family immediately sat together for dinner. After the meal, Li Xiu teased a group of children to play, while Princess Pingyang and the others sat together and continued chatting about homework.

When it was almost the second day of the second day, all the children at home were sleepy. At that time, Li Xiu asked the child to take him back to sleep. Today it was his turn to go to Yuechan's place. He took a shower under Yuechan's personal service, but he was not very honest when taking a shower. After all, Yuechan also wanted to have another child during this period, because Princess Pingyang and Yi Niang had a son, but she only had one daughter, so she was a little anxious.

After the passion, Li Xiu and Yue Chan also hugged each other, but just when he was sleeping well, he suddenly heard a noise outside, which woke him up. Fortunately, Yue Chan seemed to be exhausted, and she was sleeping very well at this time. At that moment, Li Xiu got out of bed lightly, then came to the door and called the maid to ask, "What happened outside, why is it so noisy?"

"Master Qi, I just seemed to hear someone shouting that there was a fire in the front yard, but it shouldn't be in our mansion. It's probably because of a fire in a nearby village." The maid replied immediately. She only woke up a while earlier than Li Xiu, so she didn't know much, and the one behind her was her guess.

When Li Xiu heard that it was a fire, he couldn't help but frown. Unlike the cement boxes in later generations, the houses in the Tang Dynasty were almost all made of wooden structures, and the ones they feared the most was fire. Especially when winter was dry, a little spark could cause a fire. For example, last winter, a fire broke out in Chang'an, burning half a street and five people died, and there were not a few burns. As for economic losses, it is impossible to count.

The nearby villages lived in their own tenants, and Li Xiu was also very worried about the fire, so he put on his clothes and went to the front yard to see the fire. If someone was injured, he could help him with it. After all, he still understood the simple wound treatment.

However, before he could go out, he saw Duwei Xu coming in a hurry. When he saw Li Xiu, he immediately bowed deeply and said, "Mr. Concubine, things are a little wrong. Someone was burned to death!"

"What?" Li Xiu was shocked when he heard that the person was burned to death. He immediately asked again, "Which farmer is it from? Is the fire extinguished now?"

"Uh? The one who died was not the one from the village." Xu Duwei was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's words, and then answered.

"Isn't the person from the village?" Li Xiu was also a little confused at this time.

"The prince-consort doesn't know that it was not the nearby village that caught the fire, but someone set fire at the intersection. As a result, we rushed to put out the fire with a bucket. Finally, we put out the fire, but found a body in the fire. The nearby village was also alarmed. I asked someone to ask, there were not many people in the village, so I guess this person should not be from our village!" Xu Duwei explained at this time.

Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this. Why did someone set fire to the intersection? But since Xu Duwei said that, it must be not fake. He was also very curious at the moment, so he stepped out of the mansion to check it out in person. Xu Duwei hurriedly followed.

The place where the fire was caught was the intersection where the Huiming Monk Station last time was surrounded by people. Not only were there guards and servants in the mansion, but also the tenants who came to put out the fire in the nearby villages. After all, what people feared most at this time was the fire, so no matter where the fire occurred, people nearby had the obligation to come to put out the fire. Many people were even shirtless. The night was quite cold at this time, and they were all very cold. However, because people were burned to death, many people still surrounded and refused to leave.

At that moment, Li Xiu separated the crowd and saw a lot of burning firewood piled up in the middle of the intersection. Although it had been extinguished, some of the firewood still had a stream of blue smoke, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt flesh.

More than a dozen guards surrounded him to prevent people from entering. Li Xiu took a lantern from the servant next to him and then stepped inside. Sure enough, he found a burnt corpse curled up in the ashes of the fire. The flesh on his face was burnt out, revealing black bones, and he could not tell the other person's true appearance at all, let alone confirming the other person's identity.
