Chapter 690: Burning the House
Guo Wenying coughed twice and cursed in a low voice: "Master Laozi, you really set fire." ”
Duan Weichen looked at her in astonishment, "You knew someone was going to set fire?"
Guo Wenying snorted, "How do I know, I haven't finished talking just now, I just thought something would happen, so for the sake of insurance, I deliberately went to the prince to avoid it." ”
Although he knew that he was being used, Duan Weichen couldn't get angry at all, such a smart and prescient woman was really rare.
He snorted and asked, "Who have you offended?
Guo Wenying looked at him, as if he was really unaware, and guessed in his heart that he might have nothing to do with Feng Jing'an. A Yunnan prince and a wandering invading prince, if there is really any intersection between the two of them, it will really be a disaster for the country.
She deliberately tried it, and said, "Does the prince know who Du Juan went to see today?"
Duan Weichen was slightly stunned, "He said that he was meeting a business partner, isn't this person having an enmity with you?"
Guo Wenying sighed, "Exactly." ”
As for who that person was, she didn't say, and Duan Weichen didn't ask, not because he didn't want to ask, but because he didn't have time to ask. Because at this time, there was a knock on the door outside, but it was Du Juan who came.
There was a thumping sound, followed by his slightly hoarse voice, "Is the prince inside?"
Guo Wenying made a silent gesture to Duan Weichen, and then dodged and hid behind the door.
Duan Weichen smiled lightly, but he didn't stop her, and only opened the door after seeing that she was hiding.
Outside, Du Juan looked anxious, and saw that the king of Yunnan was unharmed, and he was slightly relieved.
"It's good that the prince is fine, but do you know that there is a fire in the east row of rooms?"
Duan Weichen nodded, "I also just knew, and when I saw a fire outside, I knew that it was on fire." He pretended not to know and asked, "But what's the matter? Why is it on fire?"
Du Juan sighed, "I don't know yet, it's mostly because the weather is dry, and a spark burst out to cause a fire." He said with a sad expression, "Poor Lord Zhang is still inside, and I don't know if there is any danger." ”
Duan Weichen pretended to be surprised, "Hasn't Master Zhang come out yet?"
"No, I don't. Du Juan sighed again, "I have already let people save it, but it is so big, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." ”
He also said: "I'm also here to beg the prince to come, that Lord Zhang is a court official, how can he explain to the court if he has three long and two short? ”
Guo Wenying hid behind the door, and she could see this side from the gap, but Du Juan couldn't see her.
She looked at Du Juan's sad look and didn't seem to be a fake, and said secretly in her heart, didn't Feng Jing'an tell him her identity at all? She lived in the racecourse with so many people, Feng Jing'an must know, as for what he told Du Juan, she didn't know, but she definitely didn't tell him her true identity. Otherwise, Du Juan would not be as calm as he is now, the death of an impostor Qincha and the death of a queen mother, it is absolutely incomparable, even if he is scared, he has to be scared to death.
Duan Weichen knew that Guo Wenying was not dead, but he was not too anxious, but frowned slightly, "How could such a thing happen? ”
"Yes, yes. Du Wan nodded again and again and led him out.
Seeing the two go out, Guo Wenying hurriedly got out from behind the door, went outside and asked for clothes from a guard beside Duan Weichen, then quickly changed them and chased them.
The Bai people like to wear hats, the brim of the hat is a little lower, and no one notices her when it gets dark, and when others see her, they will only think that she is Duan Weichen's guard.
At this time, Duan Weichen and Du Juan had already arrived at the fire, burning a total of two rooms, most of which had collapsed, and a small half of the wall was struggling, and there was a scorched black everywhere, and there were thin flames scurrying on the ground, and there was a faint crackling sound.
Fortunately, the houses here are not connected, and there is a distance between them, and although they burned here, they did not affect other places.
Duan Weichen walked around the fire, and couldn't help but feel a little palpitating, if it was really Guo Wenying who was in the room at that time, I was afraid that he would have been burned to charcoal at this time.
Guo Wenying couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she saw this scene, these people really planned to put her to death. It burns so cleanly, and this is not something that ordinary fire prevention methods can do. As for what Du Juan said about the dry weather and the accidental flight of Mars, it is simply nonsense.
Duan Weichen said: "Can you turn over the fire? Find Lord Zhang's ...... Well, the remains?"
Du Juan snorted, "What did the prince ask you about, but did you find it?"
A few people who were looking through the fire scene hurriedly said: "If you go back to the prince, you have found it, but I am not sure if it is Lord Zhang." ”
They had looked at every piece of wood and under their heads, and they had found a charred corpse. Two people were brought out in the past, and the person had already been burned beyond recognition, and he basically couldn't see what he looked like, and he couldn't tell whether it was Guo Wenying himself for a while.
Du Juan took out a handkerchief from his arms and wrapped it in his hand, rummaged over the corpse, and said in a low voice: "This burns like this, is it Lord Zhang?"
No one answered him, most of the people here were not familiar with Guo Wenying, and they could really see whose corpse it was.
Guo Wenying was also wondering who this was, there was no one in the room when she left, so where did this person come from?
Was it someone who was killed and thrown into the fire, or was it burned alive in the room?
Naturally, there is no post-mortem here, but it can be seen from experience. She remembered that she had heard that a person who had been burned alive would have a lot of smoke in his throat, and that a person who had been killed and thrown into the fire would have a clean throat.
It's just that she can't get close to the corpse at this time, and she can't be sure for a while.
If such a thing happened, it was natural to wait for the corpse to come over for an autopsy, and the king of Yunnan did not ask anyone to move the corpse, but just carried it aside and waited for the dawn to come.
He knew that Guo Wenying was not dead, and he didn't care much about this person's identity, but his face was still extremely regretful: "Poor, pitiful, such a living person, why did he die?"
Du Juan suddenly remembered something, "Lord Wang, why is the person brought by this Lord Zhang missing?"
Duan Weichen yawned, "Yes, why is it gone?" I said brother, you are too distracted, this person is here with you, one died, and a lot was lost, you are to blame." ”
Du Juan's face turned a little pale, he also knew that the matter was big, and he really couldn't explain anything like this. I secretly hate those people in my heart, and if I don't want to be ruthless, why will I kill them all?
