87 arson
"Are you coming?" Guo Shu boredly played with the celadon cup in his hand. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Qing'er looked outside and nodded: "It's here, it's really here." Guo Shu looked at the dark night outside, mumbled, and then drank it all, "It's time for you to appear, remember to put out the lights." β
Ah Jiu happened to walk outside the door of Bishui Ju, and he happened to see the girl who had been in his mind all along. She came out, why did she seem to run out crying, I'll go up and see.
"Go water, get up, go water-" Then there was a symphony of pots and pans, and then a burst of fire in the backyard, the fire spread at an unusual speed, and soon the fire gradually spread to the front yard. The skyrocketing fire quickly disturbed the others, Guo Shun ran over with a gloomy face, Guo Yuan hurriedly brought a team of people carrying wooden barrels, and soon the panic became orderly.
Guo Shu wrapped a quilt sheet, ran out of the front door, pale, and ran behind Guo Shun in shock, holding the corners of Guo Shun's clothes tightly, with a trace of tears in his eyes, but he didn't shed it, seeing that Guo Shun's heart was throbbing, he easily protected Guo Shu in his arms, patted Guo Shu's back gently, and comforted him in a low voice.
Water helps oil, water splashes up, and the fire is a little bigger. Listening to the report of the subordinates, Guo Shun's face was already as black as ink, if Guo Shun couldn't see that someone was deliberately setting fire, it would be too self-deceptive, but how could these people be so bold, she had just come back, and someone set fire to her yard.
The subordinates hurriedly splashed all the flammable materials around the fire with water, controlled the fire within a certain range, and let the fire in the middle burn brightly, burning everything in the courtyard.
The fire burned for half the night, and when the fire stopped, it was already dawn, and the fire attracted the royal forest army on duty at night, interrogated for a long time, and then went to the source of the fire to check it, and then left.
"Report, a total of five houses were burned, not burned to the warehouse, the damage is still being counted, but a maid trapped in the room was choked in the room by the smoke, unfortunately killed, and two were burned, and the doctor is currently treating it, but the injury is not serious. β
When Guo Shun heard that someone had been killed, his face turned pale in an instant. The place where the accident happened this time was next to Guo Shu's boudoir examination courtyard, but at that time, Guo Shu took a nap directly in the study, and only then did he survive, and it was a low-level servant in Guo Shu's room who was burned to death. Thinking of this, the anger in Guo Shun's eyes was uncontrollable.
"Someone, bring this arsonist up!"
"The lord spares his life, the lord is wronged, the villain really doesn't know anything, please let the lord see what is going on and let the villain go..."
Guo Shun slammed the table, and a palm print instantly appeared on the table, "You still dare to quibble! Then explain to me how to explain the fire fold found from you, as well as the fire oil that you accidentally got on your body, and say, who instructed you to do this!"
Guo Shu's heart was chilling, it was this time, Guo Shun still believed that it was instructed by others, and wanted to exonerate the Zheng family, the Imperial Forest Army had long since stopped asking about everything that happened here, Guo Shun was still sheltering her, Guo Shu's eyes gradually became cold, and he gave a look to a little maid next to him, and the little maid walked out without everyone paying attention.
"Father, it seems that he won't say it, forget it, just think that my daughter is unlucky and just can't live in the blue water, I'll move to Shuiyuexuan, and then go to the water. β
Shuiyuexuan, located on the lake in the backyard of Guo's mansion, this lake is connected to the Yangtze River, Guo Shu said this, undoubtedly reminding Guo Shun that such things will still happen.
"The old lady has arrivedβ"
Zheng's dress was dressed in a red skirt, with an eight-tailed phoenix hairpin on his head, and a Persian sapphire pendant on his phoenix mouth, which made Guo Shu's heart feel bored. There was a death in the house, and Zheng was still able to come to the front hall indifferently in a festive look, which made everyone present a little uncomfortable.
"The people under your command are really well-trained, she just came back, why, can't sit still, do you want to care about the result?" Guo Shun sneered at Zheng coldly. Zheng was suspicious for a while, and then he noticed Ah Jiu kneeling in the middle of the hall, and his heart sank.
"Is this the arsonist? You are so bold that you dare to murder the eldest lady without permission, what crime should you be guilty of?"
Ah Jiu seemed to see a life-saving straw, crawled over and grabbed the corner of the old lady's clothes, "Old lady help me, old lady I don't know anything, old lady I don't know anything, I am wronged, I am really wronged, old lady, you save me, it's really not me, it's really not me who did it, old lady, you must believe me!"
The indifference on Zheng's face turned into consternation, "He is indeed a person from my yard, but I really don't know about this matter, and maybe it was his own idea, it's okay if the person is fine." β
Guo Shun was obviously not very satisfied with Zheng's perfunctory attitude, grabbed the teacup in his hand and threw it at Zheng's feet, the tea was scattered and splashed with porcelain shards, "Don't you know? You still don't know, a small servant can get fire oil, and can also splash fire oil in Shu'er's yard without knowing it, fortunately, he was in the study at the time, if this is in the room, it will be burned to charcoal, who will it be? This slave is really a great skill!"
Zheng was choked by Guo Shun and couldn't speak, so he had to insist, "I don't know anything, why this minion has all this has nothing to do with me, what reason do I have to instruct him to do such a thing? Maybe there are other people behind him who are instructing, you can check carefully, this person is just a person in my yard." β
It's just that the people in my yard, but not my people, the Zheng family is very clear, this is obviously to give up Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu's face was full of panic, and he broke free desperately, "Old lady, you asked me to keep an eye on the eldest lady, I did what you told me, hahaha-old lady, you... You... Woo-woo-woo-"
Seeing that Ah Jiu was about to go crazy, the person holding him next to him suddenly blocked Ah Jiu's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. Guo Shun's face changed drastically, and his eyes that looked at Zheng were bottomless, flashing with a trace of anger.
