Fan Zhu turned around, and Qi Xiangsi had already walked outside the pavilion.

The relatives who hadn't seen each other for a long time didn't have much joy to meet, Qi Xiangsi looked up at him, the corners of Fan Zhu's mouth moved slightly as if he had something to say, or Ji Zihe relieved the dullness, and beckoned Qi Xiangsi into the pavilion: "I have already sent someone to watch outside, no one will know that you came to see Brother Fan." ”

"I know you don't want me to come to Kyoto." Fan Zhu finally found the point to speak, "But in the past few years, I have asked someone to investigate and finally found some clues, the matter of the Qi family is not a vendetta, but someone deliberately did it." ”

"Before the accident in the Qi family, someone went to visit him several times in succession, and I think this matter has nothing to do with him."

"Have you found out who this man is?"

Fan Zhu shook his head, Qi Xiangsi smiled: "Cousin, the Zhou family is such a lone seedling as you, if your uncle and aunt know that you are not married, and they came to Kyoto to open a shop just to find out what happened many years ago, I am afraid that they will be angry and afraid of you." ”

"They don't know that"

"But they'll know sooner or later, won't they?" Qi Xiangsi interrupted him, looking at the smile on his face that suddenly faded, "You go back to Zhuzhou, the Zhou family changed their name and surname and moved out of Wanxian, they also want to stay away from these rights and wrongs." ”

"What happened back then was that we shouldn't have gone to Nanxian to take a look, if we knew that you were still alive"

"If we knew that we were still alive, maybe even the Zhou family would be gone today."

Fan Zhu and Ji Zihe were stunned at the same time, Qi Xiangsi saw their reactions and knew that they just found out that the murderer was related to the people who went to Qi's house.

"Grandfather has a medicine pod, cousin knows."

"Well, my uncle mentioned it to me."

"That medicine tripod is now in the palace, and it was presented to the current saint seven years ago, so it was greatly rewarded and favored, and it is not too much to say that it is prosperous."

Fan Zhu looked at her, his eyes flashed slightly: "Who donated the medicine tripod?" ”

"The red man in front of the saint, the judge of the hospital, Qi Henian." Qi Xiangsi said word by word, and after finishing speaking, their faces all changed, one was surprised, and the other was shocked.

To say that Fan Yu didn't react to who Qi Henian was for a while, Ji Zihe was very clear, just two days ago he had just been to Qi's house to congratulate, there are many people surnamed Qi in Kyoto City, but there is only one who is called Qi Henian and a doctor, and they also met and said a lot at that time.

Thinking of this, a chill suddenly rose in Ji Zihe's heart, if the murderers of the Fan family's words and deeds over the years were known, then he who was so close to Brother Fan would inevitably attract their attention.

When the second master of the Qi family asked him those questions, was he suspicious of him and Miss Qi.

Ji Zihe looked at Qi Xiangxi, and his words were difficult: "That's why you want us to go?" ”

"It's him." Fan Zhu muttered, to say that he also knew this Qi He Nian, he had gone to Zhuzhou to visit them, and at that time he borrowed it to see the origin of medicinal materials, he only knew that it was a person from Kyoto City, but he didn't associate the fact that his cousin was also surnamed Qi with this.

"The Qi family is not as good as the deep-rooted famous families in Kyoto City, but it is better than winning the emperor's heart, and it is better than his heart is ruthless enough." Qi Xiangsi sat down in the pavilion, resting on the railing with one hand, and his feelings were very calm, "Grandfather's medicine tripod can not be used many times, and they don't know how to maintain it, it was abolished a few years ago, no one knows better than Qi Henian how many people died in the Qi family at that time, and he secretly instructed the county lord to sell the Qi family's house at a low price in order to lure those people related to the Qi family over." ”

"What does he want to do?"

"He wants to keep his glory and wealth, protect the prosperity of the Qi family, the saint will live for one more year, he will be favored for one more year, the medicine can still be repaired if it is abolished, his grandfather and father are dead, and there are not two relatives who are still alive." Qi Xiangsi guessed that for Qi Henian, a little hope is also hope, after all, she was eight years old back then, and she was able to escape and survive, maybe she still had some secret recipes of the Qi family, or perhaps, her grandfather had handed these over to others, and people related to the Qi family.

What kind of person is this, who can be so ruthless that he stepped on the lives of so many innocent people to pave the way for his glory: "Then Brother Fan is investigating the affairs of the Qi family, doesn't he also know, so you let me go out in disguise!" ”

Thinking of this, Ji Zihe shuddered.

"Cousin, go back." Qi Xiangsi looked at him earnestly, "He hasn't done anything to the Fan family over the years because he feels that you don't know anything and have nothing at stake for him." ”

"But you're in the Qi family now." Fan Zhu couldn't imagine how she had spent the past few years in the Qi family, "He kills people without blinking, you are too dangerous there, in case he finds out your identity!" ”

"The case of the prince's trafficking in illicit salt is widely implicated, many officials in Yongzhou have been dismissed, and many old cases accumulated there have been submitted to the Criminal Department, including the case of the Qi family, or it will not be long before the truth will be found out and the Qi family will be given justice."

Thinking about the previous incident, Fan Zhu didn't believe that the Criminal Department could investigate the case so smoothly: "If he knew about these things, wouldn't he stop it?" ”

"He will, so you have to go back, if the criminal department can't find out, what can you do."

Seeing Qi Xiangsi's insistent attitude, Fan Zhu looked at her almost pleadingly: "Acacia, how did you do this alone, you should have refused your cousin, let me do something for you." ”

has persisted for so long, Qi Xiangsi also knows that he can't persuade him in a few words, if he knows how his sister died, I'm afraid my cousin won't want to marry a wife and have children in this life.

"Okay, cousin, you can do something for me." Qi Xiangsi nodded after a while, "But you have to promise me that you will go back to Zhuzhou immediately after this matter." ”

It was a day of early summer in May, and it was already a little hot at noon, and after a few days of good weather, it was dry at night.

The rain from the south to the north has not yet come to Kyoto City, and the city in the deep spring seems to be clamoring for the rain to come soon, on the 23rd, after the scorching sun, the second room of the Qi family suddenly ran out of water, and when it was found, the fire was already very large.

At that time, everyone in the Chen Mansion was asleep, and the maid suddenly came to knock on the door and said that it was on fire, Qi Henian and Wang were startled, put on their clothes and hurried out, and the direction of the small kitchen, even the first few bungalows behind were on fire, and the fire was soaring.

However, the small kitchen is at the back of the study, and for the sake of elegance, the middle partition is made of wood and paint, so the fire spreads directly from the small kitchen to the study, and the speed of burning is staggering.

The second room hurriedly organized people to put out the fire, and all the rooms in the house were also woken up, the Splendid Garden was close to the second room, Gu arrived first with his clothes, and saw the study that had been burned in, and helped Wang to ask: "But if there are any valuable things to take out quickly, otherwise I am afraid that it will be burned out!" ”

Wang looked towards Qi Henian, who had already walked over, Wang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, urging the steward to push the door and see: "Master, don't go in." ”

The steward pushed open the door, and was greeted by a wave of heat rolling out of the house, and with the smooth flow of the wind, the fire that had just burned through the window suddenly became jubilant, and immediately rolled up from the table by the window to the nearest shelf, how fast the books burned, only to hear a "boom", and the whole bookshelf was burned.

The steward was busy carrying the things closest to the door and moving them out, going in and out and carrying water to put out the fire, the heat emitted from the house was almost permeating Qi Henian's face, he looked at the shelves of burning books with a cold look, and a few people grabbed things inside and moved them out, but they couldn't withstand the spread of the fire.

Old Madam Qi rushed over with the support of Mother Lin, and pointed to the burning study with a trembling hand: "What the hell is going on, how can it go to water!" ”

The Wang family and the Gu family went over to help her, and more and more people gathered in the courtyard, and the entire Qi Mansion was woken up.

After the fire was extinguished, Qi Henian entered the study regardless of the obstruction, and the two shelves of books near the window were burned, and even the shelves collapsed and were still on fire.

Half of the shelf that was extinguished with water burned and the other half was soaked with water.

Qi Henian pushed away the steward and walked to the back, there was nothing to distinguish in the corner that was pressed by the burned shelf, Qi Henian immediately ordered: "Extinguish these, don't pour them with water, dig them up!" ”

A few stewards stepped forward to press the fire with a broken quilt, and as soon as the fire was extinguished, they were in a hurry to dig up all the things that had been piled up, and it was still steaming at the bottom, no one cared about the heat, and after quickly digging it out, let Qi Henian go in, which should have been in the corner between the two shelves, and a box was still there.

couldn't wait for someone to move it out, Qi Henian was a little anxious to pull the screwdriver on the box, but he didn't want him to touch it, the screw fell directly to the ground, and then the box was split into charcoal and spread around.

The stacked books inside were all black and gray.

Qi Henian's face changed drastically, he reached out to take it, but before he could pick it up, it was broken in his hand, and it was burned very thoroughly.

The middle part was not burned, but a book burned three sides, and in the end, what was the use of leaving less than a quarter of the part, the pages were still gray, and I don't know what was going on, when Qi Henian picked it up, the originally smoldering fire under it caught the air and burned again, quickly engulfing the paper under his nose.

It's all gone.

Wang, who was outside, saw that her husband had not come out for so long, so she was a little worried, and asked her son to go in and have a look, when Qi Yanbo went in, Qi Henian was standing in front of the bookshelf and reading the books that were left behind, without the strange feelings that his mother was worried about, and the whole person seemed very calm.

"Father, there are a lot of medical books in your collection." Some solitary books are burned and gone.,Even if you find it somewhere else, it's a rubbing.。

"The fire can be extinguished." Qi Henian held the frame of the shelf with one hand, and the smell of fireworks was still permeated in the study, Qi Yanbo nodded, "The three bungalows over there in the small kitchen have the biggest fire, and two of the rooms have collapsed. ”

"Are there any dead or wounded?"

"In time to escape, a few were injured, and no one died."

didn't die in the house, and the fire wasn't so big that it couldn't be saved when he escaped, how could it spread so quickly?

Qi Henian's hand holding the bookshelf trembled slightly, and it was difficult to hide his anger in his voice: "You go with me for a trip." ”
