When dawn came, the sky was gray, and the small kitchen was in shambles after the rapidly spreading fire burned for more than an hour, and the charcoal-fired wooden stakes that had fallen were immersed in the water, and the hot air and water collided with each other with a clattering sound.

Half of the kitchenette was destroyed, two of the three bungalows next to it had collapsed, the half-hung beams were smoking, and the air around was hot and smelled spicy.

When Qi Hexiang saw his younger brother coming, he ordered someone to move the wood that fell on the road: "It's not tight here, what's going on in the study?" ”

"The beams haven't collapsed yet." Qi Henian looked at the three bungalows, frowning, "What does this smell like?" ”

"There's a lot of peppery noodles in the kitchen." Qi Hexiang paid attention to the cause of the fire, "It's windy tonight, and I lit the oil lamp and opened the window, I'm afraid it will pour the fire." ”

"That's not right." Qi Henian stepped into the area between the small kitchen and the study, the decorative sticks had been burned into charcoal, he smelled it, it was understandable that there was a spicy smell on the kitchen side, so what is the explanation here, is the chili noodles still sprinkled here.

Qi Henian stretched out his hand and wiped it on the smoked dark wall, and the ink on his fingertips was the usual color that had been burned by the fire, and there was nothing unusual.

Qi Yanbo, who was on the side, frowned deeply when he saw his father: "Father, did you find something?" ”

Qi Henian straightened up and looked at the charcoal: "Yanbo, you go and bring a bucket of water." ”

Qi Yanbo obeyed the order and carried a bucket of water, Qi Henian soaked two charcoal-burned wooden sticks into the water, and half-rang over, looking at the last thing floating on the water, Qi Henian's face became even more ugly: "It's fire oil." ”

How strong the wind had to be to spread the fire from the bungalow to the study, apparently not because of this.

There is fire oil on the wooden stakes in the intervals, and there is this wall, and there is also the flat house, and it is quiet in the middle of the night, and no one notices that someone is doing this.

If you want to hurt people, you shouldn't burn here, but if you want to burn things.

Qi Henian has long had suspicions in his heart, the Zhou family who changed their name and surname came to Kyoto, and they were secretly still investigating in the name of doing business, and the surname Ji came to Qi's house in the name of the wedding banquet a few days ago, and he met him in the garden at that time, saying that he was lost, and he was probably inquiring.

After that, they went out mysteriously, and their whereabouts were difficult to find all day, as if they were deliberately avoided.

Could it be that this matter is being discussed in secret.

Some things are not suspicious, but once they are suspicious, they will think a lot, the Zhou family has been persevering for six or seven years, and the other party seems to have noticed that someone is spying on them, since they can detect something, they can hide it, and the news that Qi Henian got here is probably not all.

The Qi family's house was bought by the Zhou family at a high price, so it is possible that the Zhou family knows what the Qi family is still hiding.

The two most important things in front of Qi Henian are how to restore the medicine tripod, and how to destroy the file of the criminal department, the former has been working hard in the past few years, but there is no progress, and the latter he is looking for someone to go to the criminal department to investigate, and the tone about the file is also very tight.

This sudden fire made him unable to tell what was missing in the study, could it be that among the things he brought from the Qi family back then, there were secrets that he couldn't understand.

Qi Henian was thinking about it, when suddenly there was a scream from the main house in front of him, Qi Henian immediately got up and rushed over, but he only had time to see a black back flying to the gate of the courtyard.

"Catch him!" Qi Henian shouted, and most of the guards in the courtyard chased out, and at this moment, there was a bang from the main house, as if the doors and windows were kicked open, Qi Yanbo, who was closer to the door of the main house, walked in to take a look, and on the back window, a man in black had already gone out of the window, and another person who was handing a box to the window got up to jump out.

"Someone, here!" Qi Yanbo rushed over to block it, but where was the speed to catch up with the people to escape, most of the guards in the courtyard chased the man in black just now, and the two people who turned out here escaped in two ways, and they couldn't catch up at all.

The main room is a mess, the bedroom on the left has not been turned much, but the room on the right is a mess, and the most strict thing is the place where the bookcase was originally placed, which was forcibly pried open, revealing the dark room inside.

Seeing this, Qi Henian walked into the dark room with a dark face, and Qi Yanbo came in with a candlestick, and in the dark room, which was less than a foot long and wide, the books on the two walls were turned over, and the wooden box placed on the cabinet behind the low table was missing.

"Father." Qi Yanbo didn't know what was in the lost box, but Qi Henian knew it very well, he suppressed the anger in his heart, and his eyes showed ruthlessness, "Send people to chase them, you must catch them." ”

"Someone has been sent to chase after me." Qi Yanbo had never seen his father show such an extremely evil expression, "Father, what is in there?" ”

"What a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." The dim light against the side of his face was particularly terrifying, and he stared at the location where the box had been placed, and his blood was surging.

At this time, he had already guessed who set up the bureau to do this, and also overturned the previous speculation about the Zhou family, burning the small kitchen and destroying the study were all to lure people out, and even the black-clothed man who went out from the main house was also to lead away most of the nursing homes, and the real purpose was here.

What is in that box is the secret account of the past ten years

The day is about to dawn, and the hospital has already begun to be busy, and the lights in the courtyard where the students live have been lit an hour ago.

There is a box on the table in the room, at first glance, it seems that this box is somewhat similar to the one burned in Qi Henian's study, and the books in the box have been moved out and stacked on a table.

Qi Xiangsi flipped through the books one by one, repeating them several times but couldn't get enough of them, these were all left by his grandfather and father, and they were books that Qi Henian locked there and was careful not to let her borrow.

"The people sent by the prince have already gotten the things." The latest news that Lu Li got was that Senior Brother and they had left Qi Mansion, and Qi Mansion sent a lot of people to chase them, but it was not easy to find them in three ways out of Qi Mansion, and they escaped the pursuit very lightly.

Qi Xiangsi's hand lightly pressed on these books, this plan was thought up by her, the little prince added some more, and finally borrowed her cousin's hand to implement it.

Seeing that Qi Henian, who is dedicated to being the emperor, is actually the prince's person, but he was not implicated in the slightest when the prince had an accident, how could the matter of private salt have nothing to do with him.

"Qi Henian is a very suspicious person." This fire was burned, Qi Xiangsi knew that he would suspect his cousin, and maybe he would suspect her along Ji Zihe, but now that the account books were lost, his biggest spearhead became Zhao Wangye, who had been trying to clean up the princelings.

In this way, the suspicion on my cousin has become lighter, a merchant has nothing to do with the official family, what do you do to steal people's account books.

And because of the disgraceful account books, Qi Henian didn't even dare to report to the official.

"Take these with you, and you will go to the Yuwang Mansion." Qi Xiangsi didn't tell anything, so she asked her to take all the books back to Yuwang's mansion.

When the morning came, Qi Xiangsi changed his clothes and went to the East Pharmacy to help.

At this time, the imperial doctors in the imperial pharmacy were about to enter the inner palace to ask for the pulse of the various masters.

Fu Rong called Qi Xiangsi over, but she didn't see Qi Henian in the imperial pharmacy, so she casually asked Fu Rong: "Imperial Doctor Qi didn't come?" ”

"I'm here, I've already entered the palace to ask the emperor for a pulse." Fu Rong handed her a few books, "You take a look, and you will enter the palace with the teacher later." ”

Not long after, Imperial Physician Wen came and took her and Fu Rong into the palace together, and the first thing they went to was Furong Garden.

The palace maid led them in, and Qi Minshi in the inner room was supported out by two palace maids, who were not pregnant when they came at the beginning of the year, and now their bodies are already very heavy.

More than seven months pregnant, Qi Minshi is now a little difficult to turn over, after sitting down, she saw that Qi Xiangsi was also there, she seemed very happy, and she spoke first without waiting for Imperial Doctor Wen to ask for instructions: "Let Minying diagnose my pulse." ”

Qi Xiangsi looked at Imperial Physician Wen, who nodded, and the master told her to come, let her come, anyway, Imperial Physician Wen would have to check her pulse again later.

Qi Xiangsi stepped forward, Qi Minshi's hand rested on the pulse pillow, and the pulse went up, and after half a ring, Qi Xiangsi replied: "The pulse is like a flood and slippery, and the yang is strong and powerful." ”

Qi Minshi smiled: "Your diagnosis is the same as what Imperial Doctor Wen said a few days ago. ”

Qi Xiangsi put her hand down gently: "This shows that Niangniang's body is very good, and the child in her womb is also very healthy." ”

"Yes, I've been moving so much at night lately that I can't sleep well." Qi Minshi gently stroked her lower abdomen, "If it's a boy, forget it, if it's a girl, I don't know who it looks like." ”

Qi Xiangsi gently pinched her feet for her, and the swelling was not strict: "Niangniang should pay more attention to walking." ”

"I don't move much now." Qi Minshi stroked her waist, and after Qi Xiangsi retreated, Imperial Doctor Wen came to diagnose the pulse, and instructed the palace maid to make Qi Minshi sleep more comfortably at night, and finally prescribed a prescription, mainly for swollen hands and feet.

The poet Qi Min, who had gained a lot of weight, also seemed a little lazy, she glanced at Imperial Doctor Wen, and then looked at Qi Xiangsi and said: "I heard about the Ten Emperors' Mansion, and I will be here for two months, so you can come over then." ”
