Chapter 123: A Fire Burns the Light
Just after the end of the day, the fire in Yufangyuan had been extinguished a few hours earlier.
A mother-in-law who was cooking in the kitchen took advantage of the night to quietly leave Yufangyuan.
She is an honest person, very responsible, and usually just takes care of her own affairs.
Yufangyuan has already changed the world, and she doesn't even know it. I still thought about it tomorrow, and the aunt didn't know what to do with her.
The kitchen caught fire and burned down the firewood room, but fortunately there were no injuries and no excessive losses.
Even so, she was scared tightly, she had been in Yufang Garden for a long time, and of course she had seen what kind of torture people had been subjected to when they made mistakes.
In fact, the kitchen fire is something else that is man-made, and it is not ****.
It's just that she didn't know, she thought she was old and confused, and she didn't put out the fire at the bottom of the stove after cooking dinner, which led to the fire starting.
There are still a few hours before dawn, and everyone says that it is the darkest hour before it will be light.
It's very quiet outside, and it's weird, and even a few important entrances are not guarded by a courtyard.
Suddenly, the dark night seemed to be lit up by something.
There were fires everywhere, and it seemed like they were all lit all at once.
It's not a fire in the kitchen this time, no matter how stupid the woman is, she understands the truth.
"It's water, it's water!!" The mother-in-law didn't care about running away, and screamed loudly.
Some people had already been woken up by the smoke, and they didn't have time to put on their clothes neatly, so they just put on a coat and ran out.
Some women even ran out wrapped in quilts.
At this time, there were not many people in Yufangyuan.
In the first half of the night, Mrs. Zhao released the women who wanted to go out according to Situ Ming's instructions.
In order to get the women out of Yufang Garden, Situ arranged a banquet for the guards of the courtyard, saying that it was to celebrate his choice of Oiran.
Now the fire broke out in the dormitory area, and everyone else fled to the garden.
The fire was so big that everyone knew that a few buckets of water alone could not be extinguished.
I could only watch as my former home gradually turned into a rubble field.
"What about the ninth sister, why is the ninth sister gone."
"Calamus, where's your girl?"
Several women in the Red Dot Pavilion asked anxiously.
Situ Cheng had a lot of follow-up plans and didn't come before she could tell her absinthe and calamus, so she was arrested by Huang Lu's people.
When the absinthe calamus came back from fighting the fire, Situ Cheng was long gone.
They didn't dare to speak out. Afraid of disrupting Situ Ming's next plan, they could only wait. Until midnight, Situ Cheng did not come back.
"Shouldn't the ninth sister be with Wang Gongzi tonight? Surely it won't be in our Yufang Garden, are the sisters frightened and confused by the fire? Bai Juan said.
As everyone thinks, Wang Gongzi will definitely not spend the night in Yufangyuan. He must have taken Situ out of the house.
Absinthe and Calamus knew that this was not the case, and everything that happened tonight showed their own girl's impatience with the prince.
She even used the peony to send the prince for herself, and all the gifts sent by the prince a few days ago were thrown away by the girl.
Absinthe and calamus glanced at each other.
Was the girl forcibly pulled out of Yufangyuan by that prince?
"Where's the peony girl, why isn't the peony girl gone?" Someone shouted.
Peony doesn't get close to the women on weekdays, and only stays with Miangu. In addition, she was not originally a person in the Red Dot Green Pavilion. That's why it's only now that everyone has found it gone.
That's right, Peony Girl, Hibiscus Hall!
The two sisters ran towards Ge Yuxin's residence at the same time, if the prince was not in Furong Hall, it must have been him who took his own girl.
"Aunt Ge, Aunt Mian and Aunt Ma are not here."
"The garden is so big, they won't hide somewhere else, right?"
"No one knows better than them in every place in Yufangyuan, and there must be a safer and more comfortable place."
Everyone thinks this is reasonable.
"Absinthe, calamus, are you two stupid? Why did you run to the fire instead? ”
Several of the women and one or two mothers-in-law stepped forward and grabbed them.
"Maybe the girl is still in there and hasn't come out. We'll have to see. Absinthe said anxiously.
"Then you should also go in the direction of Zo Jingxuan, why did you go the other way?" Some people are puzzled.
Calamus was speechless in a hurry, and she couldn't say that her girl was not in Zuo Jingxuan.
Mo Jin stood beside him and didn't persuade or pull, but just said coldly:
"You've been with the ninth sister for so long, don't you know how smart she is?"
"Calamus?" Absinthe looked at the calamus and wanted to say nothing.
If she was trapped in the fire, it would be better for the girl to be taken away by the prince. The prince had a true affection for the girl, and they didn't understand what kind of mind the girl was.
Among the many people, only Mo Jin, Absinthe, Calamus and Zhao Pozi knew that Ge Yuxin and the others were dead.
Mo Jin promised Situ that she wouldn't talk nonsense. Absinthe and calamus are Situ Ming's personal and loyal servants, and of course they will not say it. It's just that Mrs. Zhao?
She is a person who does things according to orders, and hopes to make a few great contributions to her new master to strengthen her position.
I never thought that the new master was gone, and Yufangyuan was also burned down.
She couldn't guarantee that she wouldn't say anything when she had no idea.
When Mo Jin went to find Situ Ming, he killed Ge Yuxin. When she went out. I saw that Mrs. Zhao was about to walk in and report something to Situ Ming.
If as expected, Mrs. Zhao should know that Ge Yuxin was killed by herself.
Mo Jin thought that he couldn't fall into the hands of Mrs. Zhao.
Taking advantage of everyone's panic in the fire not far away, Mo Jin quietly touched Mrs. Zhao's side.
He said that he knew that there was a secret warehouse in the Yufang Garden where there was no fire.
Mo Jin said that he was timid and afraid, and he needed Mrs. Zhao, a bold accomplice, to get it.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes opened when she saw the money, and besides, she also knew that Mo Jin was usually silent. In her memory, Mo Jin had never said a word to her.
A person who speaks so little will certainly not lie when he speaks, and it is more convincing, and everyone thinks so.
Mrs. Zhao and Mo Jin walked side by side and left the place where everyone gathered.
"Mother-in-law, that thing is buried there." Mo Jin pointed to a place in the grass and said.
"Didn't you just say what the treasury was? Why is it buried there? Mrs. Zhao was surprised.
"We'll find out if we go and see." Mo Jin Road.
Mrs. Zhao didn't suspect it, probably thinking about Huang Chengcheng's gold now.
When he had money, he bought a small courtyard, so that he didn't have to be a slave to beg for food. I'm already old, and I'm still doing it. If one day she has an illness or something, and she has no children and offspring, who will support her in old age.
In front is a well where gardeners often come to fetch water for watering the flowers.
Mo Jin counted that Mrs. Zhao was already close to the well, and pushed her down. (To be continued.) )
