Chapter 36: I'll Set Fire to You
Qin E remembered the hardships of the previous life, they were bullied like fake chief stewards, but no one in the clan gave them justice. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In this life, although Aunt Mei found the patriarch's wife to support them, this was not enough. She wants the Qin clan to come forward and sentence Xing Baocai and the others heavily, and she wants all those who underestimate them and snub them to see what will happen to those who bully them.
Qin E's face showed resoluteness and said, "I'm going to set it on fire and burn it to the sky." I don't believe that there will be no one in the clan. ā
Meng Jingke nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you set the fire." ā
Qin E asked Meng Jingke worriedly: "If I toss like this, you are bound to expose people, what can I do?"
Meng Jingke said calmly: "It's okay, they can't help me." ā
Qin E glanced at several subordinates behind him, and had countless questions in his heart that he wanted to ask, but he also knew that this was not the time to be verbose.
"It's better for you to avoid it, I don't want them to embarrass you. ā
Meng Jingke said in his heart, they didn't have this ability, but seeing Qin E's worried eyes, he swallowed his words back and nodded in agreement.
The arson was just to force the people of the clan out, not really to burn down all the old mansions of the Qin family.
Shen's coffin is still there!
Therefore, Hei Qi went to the firewood room farthest from the main house and lit a fire, and after a while, the fire was in the sky, and the smoke was billowing out.
It didn't take long for the gongs and drums to be heard outside, and someone shouted, "Go to the water, go to the water!"
Catching fire is a big deal, especially in the dry winter months, and the slightest carelessness can cause a catastrophe. Before the people of the clan arrived, the surrounding families had already begun to work together to extinguish the fire.
When the chief steward personally led a group of strong men over, the flames had already burned to the back cover room of the Qin family's old mansion. From outside the wall, I saw black smoke billowing, and the tongue of fire was running high, so it was not scary.
Someone shouted: "Aren't there people from the Qin family in the capital who are doing a funeral? ā
A well-meaning man said to the chief steward, "Rushing in through the front door may be able to get them out." ā
The chief steward looked at the fire and said, "The fire is so bad, I'm afraid that they will burn to death, so it's most important to put out the fire as soon as possible." ā
When everyone heard this, they were a little unbearable, but the fire was ruthless, and even the chief steward said so, and no one wanted to joke with their lives, so they all used their strength to extinguish the fire.
Strange to say, the fire looked terrifying, but it only burned around the back room. I don't know if it's because of the large number of people and the amount of water, but it was extinguished in less than two quarters of an hour.
Mrs. Li's son came out of nowhere, crying: "Mother, my mother, how are you, you say something!"
While crying, he threw himself on the door, knocking on the door panel, but in the surprise of everyone, the door that he thought was locked was actually slapped open.
Mrs. Li's son was also stupid, but he was watched by the neighbors and villagers, and it was not easy to go back, so he had to swallow his saliva, look through the crack in the door, and push the door open little by little.
Except for the air in the yard, it was quiet and quiet. He was a little bolder, and ran to the side room where Mrs. Li lived, and saw her lying on the kang and sleeping.
Some villagers who followed up saw it and wondered: "There was such a big movement just now, why is this Mrs. Li still sleeping so deeply?"
More people walked behind the shadow wall, the second door was closed, someone went over and pushed it down, and the door was pushed open with a creak.
People poured in together, and they saw five people lying crookedly on the ground, three men with faces, and the other two knew each other, one was Mrs. Xing, and the other was her nephew Xing Baocai.
And Xing Baocai's terrifying injury stunned everyone even more.
When Mrs. Li's son saw that he couldn't wake up his mother, he squeezed in and exclaimed, "Why did Brother Baocai become like this?"
The chief steward outside the second gate came in with someone noisily.
"What are they all doing here? Are they all burned to death?" As soon as the words came out, he saw Xing Baocai and the others, and couldn't help but be startled, and exclaimed: "This, this, what's going on?"
The people did not know why, and where anyone answered him.
At this moment, a gust of wind swept the black ash all over the place, the door of the main room was suddenly opened, and on the black coffin, the white curtain was turned, which was indescribably terrifying.
Someone shuddered: "Isn't it haunted!"
Everyone was shocked, and someone said "oops", slapped his legs and cried: "Such a big fire, why didn't anyone in this house see it, wasn't it eaten by ghosts?"
"That Mrs. Li can't wake up when she screams, she must have been crushed by a ghost!"
Mrs. Li's son retorted: "Nonsense, you are being crushed by ghosts and ghosts!" But his teeth chattered up and down, and his rebuttal was very unimpressive.
At this time, there was another burst of flying sand and stones, and everyone couldn't open their eyes. When the wind passed through the stone break, everyone opened their eyes again, and saw Qin E standing in front of the coffin in white clothes.
There are those who are timid, and they faint with a "wow" sound.
The chief steward was pushed to the front by everyone, covered his face with his sleeves, and shouted in a cold sweat: "Miss Qin, we know that you are pitiful, but we really tried our best, you can rest in peace, go with your mother, and the clan will bury you well." ā
Qin E took a step forward lightly, and everyone in the chief steward was so frightened that they retreated again and again.
"I'm living well, why did the chief steward say this?"
The chief steward trembled and said, "You have been burned to death, we all know it, so you can leave in peace." ā
Qin E seemed to have discovered something interesting, tilted her head and said softly, "Does the chief steward really want me to die?"
The chief steward is a person who has seen some of the world, and when he heard this, he looked carefully through his fingers, and saw that Qin E's expression was smart, and he really didn't look like a female ghost.
"You're not dead?"
Qin E asked rhetorically: "Should I die?"
Seeing that she was really not a ghost, the chief steward immediately had the courage to snort coldly: "Since you are not dead, why are you pretending to be a ghost to scare us?"
Qin E looked at him fixedly, and said slowly: "I'm standing here alone, it's you who keep saying that I'm dead, why do you blame me in turn?"
The chief steward was speechless for a while, and it happened that Xing Baocai woke up faintly, felt pain all over his body, and howled again.
The chief steward pointed at him and asked Qin E sharply, "What's the matter with these people?"
"I'm just going to ask the chief steward and the folks to comment on the reasoning. Qin E took another step forward and said sharply: These people sneaked into my house in the middle of the night, and everyone in the house except me was fascinated by their smoke. Not only do they seek money, but they also kill people, and they light the fire in the backyard. ā
"Mrs. Xing looked at the gate, she made it difficult for us, and she deducted us from the money on weekdays. Now that she is plotting to kill us with her nephew, there is such a scum in Qinjia Village, how is the clan going to punish them?"
Everyone whispered, and the chief steward's face sank, and he said, "This is just your one-sided words, I want to ask you, Xing Baocai was seriously injured, what happened?"
Qin E said: "The chief steward doesn't check Xing Baocai, how can he ask me in turn?"
The chief steward snorted coldly: "You little girl, how could you hurt him like this? I see that you are acting strangely, and there must be something unseemly." Someone, search me and see what they're hiding?"
Qin E was angry in her heart, this big steward had been against him everywhere from beginning to end, and he couldn't see that he was any better, and now he was even reversing black and white.
She stopped at the door and scolded: "Stop, in front of the mother's spirit, how can you be presumptuous!"
Three or four family members rushed up the steps, and one of them stretched out his hand to push Qin E, when suddenly a black thing flew out of the room and hit his wrist, and immediately there was a muffled sound, and his wrist drooped.
Meng Jingke stood behind Qin E and said, "Who else is coming?"
