Yu Chusheng can only use these four words to describe the scene in front of him.
After Yun Jinlou heard about the door killing case, Yu Chusheng and Bitang Bitong originally returned to the palace after eating.
At noon, the sun came out of the vast sky, warm and mellow, suitable for going out, Yu Chusheng thought about it, and couldn't control that nosy heart.
Yes, not long after returning to the palace, Yu Chusheng asked people to prepare a carriage, went to the palace alone, and asked Zhang Er to learn about the situation of this case.
Similar to what Yu Chusheng heard in Yunjin Tower, overnight, Liu's house was almost burned clean, and several lives died in a dream, and only a few people survived, as well as Liu Yuanwai and his son and daughter-in-law.
Liu Yuanwai's son Liu Xin identified his wife Li Yuan as the murderer, but Li Xuan refused to admit it.
In addition, Liu Xi also provided a witness that when a surviving servant of Liu's Mansion went to the toilet at night, he saw Li Yuan wandering around the mansion, thinking that she couldn't sleep and walked, so he didn't think much about it.
At that time, most of the people in the mansion had already slept, and that night, Liu's mansion was burned, so Li Yuan was very suspicious.
But Li Yuan said that she didn't leave the room for half a step last night, and for this reason, half of her face was burned, just because she felt a fire in her sleep and woke up first, so Liu Xin suspected that she was the murderer.
It turned out that Liu Xi did not sleep in the room last night, but slept in the study. When Li Yuan noticed the fire, she slept so that the bedroom had burned to the inside, and she finally ran out, and her face was burned by the wooden stick smashed from the beam.
After running out, the entire Liu Mansion was burning, and only a few people who woke up shouted while carrying water to extinguish the fire.
Li Yuan hurriedly went to the study, which had just begun to burn, waking up Liu Xi, who was not injured.
Liu Yuanwai's wife died early, there were several aunts in the house, and he happened not to go to his aunt's place last night, but stayed in his own room, and those aunts were all burned to death, and he escaped by luck.
Many of his descendants also died in the fire.
Just because the first person to wake up was Li Yuan, and someone saw her wandering around the house at night, so naturally, she was the most suspicious.
So Yu Chusheng followed Zhang Er to Liu's Mansion again, wanting to see the scene of the fire.
Liu's Mansion is also a big mansion, not as exaggerated as those people in Yunjin Tower said today, but it was still burned and couldn't see its original form.
The fire even spread to a small bamboo forest that came into view when entering the gate, and the bamboo was already gray-black, and only a few were burned by the fire, and even a few had fallen to the ground and stuck to the ground.
In ancient times, there were many pieces of wood, except for the outer walls, which were still relatively intact, and the houses were all broken ruins, and the wooden pillars in front of the doors of the rooms were also scattered to the ground.
It was dark everywhere, and because the sun was out, the burned wood looked particularly black and shiny.
Yu Chusheng followed Zhang Er, checking the rooms that were burned the most, as well as the officials who came and went, constantly carrying the corpse outside.
Although it had already been cleaned up here in the morning, Liu's mansion was very large, and they were not sure which room was full of people, so the officials were looking for it room by room.
When Yu Chusheng saw it, many charred corpses were carried away.
It is understood that Liu Yuanwai actually didn't know that Liu Yuan had a son, and other aunts also gave birth to sons and daughters, but in a family like this, the status of the children born to the aunt was not noble, so when Yu Chusheng heard those people in Yunjin Tower today, he only mentioned that Liu Yuanwai's son had Liu Xin, and did not mention other children.
The corpses carried by the officials, as well as several bodies that looked like children, Yu Chusheng felt a little sad.
In fact, when this kind of thing happens, perhaps only the living are the most painful, and when people die, they don't know anything, and they don't have to experience the pain of parting, while the living people begin to remember the dead, leaving endless pain and sorrow.
Yu Chusheng asked, "What about Liu Yuanwai?" ”
Zhang Er pointed to the next door and said, "The Li Mansion next door is Li Yuan's maiden home, but Li Yuan's father and mother have already died, and the Li Mansion has been empty, and Liu Yuanwai and they went to the Li Mansion first." ”
Yu Chusheng nodded, it seems that Liu Xin and Li Yuan are still childhood sweethearts, so the relationship should be very good, how could Liu Xin identify Li Yuan as an arsonist?
Yu Chusheng couldn't help but glance at the Li Mansion next door from a distance, and only saw the upper part of the building, but by feeling, he could feel that it was an empty mansion that had been uninhabited for a long time.
Desolate and devastation, even if the buildings are intact.
Don't...... What else is unclear between Li Yuan and Liu Xi?
said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as Yu Chusheng finished asking, Liu Xi actually came over.
First impression, Junlang, Yu Chusheng thought after glancing at Liu Xin.
The man had already cleaned himself up, with simple blue clothes and hair like an ordinary boy, but maybe because of such a big thing at home, he had a sense of decadence all over his body.
is in his early twenties, but his temperament reveals a kind of old age.
Liu Xi glanced at the Liu Mansion, which was almost in ruins, and his eyes were full of sadness, but Yu Chusheng always felt that his grief was not because the Liu Mansion was burned.
But there is another reason.
Yu Chusheng couldn't tell why she felt this way, and when Liu Xi came over, she asked her puzzled question: "Why did you identify your wife as the murderer?" ”
That's his married couple, can he not leave any affection?
When asked a question, Liu Xi was suddenly stunned, but soon, he saw that Yu Chusheng was following Zhang Er, so he reacted and said very officially: "Yesterday, someone saw her not sleeping at night, wandering around the house, except for this matter, she was the first to find out about the fire last night, and the facts are here." ”
Evidence like that? Is it enough to prove that Li Yuan is an arsonist?
At this time, a man in his forties and fifties also walked over, as if echoing Liu Xi's words: "I saw it with my own eyes last night." It seems that he is the one who saw Li Yuan.
Zhang Er said to Yu Chusheng: "This is the person who said that he saw Li Yuan wandering around the house last night without sleeping." "It seems to be true.
Yu Chusheng nodded and glanced at the man slightly, but he was not injured, and he looked honest and honest, not like a person who could lie.
Yu Chusheng asked, "Then can you tell me more about last night's scene?" Zhang Er told Yu Chusheng that Li Yuan insisted that she didn't leave the room half a step after going to bed very early last night, but some people said that they had seen her in the house.
The man nodded and said, "When I went to the toilet last night, I saw the young lady walking around the garden from a distance, looking very low, and I thought I had a quarrel with the young master." ”
