134 fires
In the middle of the night, a fire broke out silently in the backyard of the inn, and in an instant, several small courtyards were surrounded.
By the time everyone found out and rushed to the rescue in panic, two small courtyards had burned to the ground.
It is said that several people were also burned to death.
It is said that one of them is the woman who poured several glasses of wine on Han Qiong in the lobby yesterday and invited him to dinner.
It is said that it was the wife of the new champion of the scientific expedition......
"Wouldn't it? So unlucky? Han Qiong exclaimed again and again in the crowd, and her flowery clothes were particularly conspicuous.
"Han Daqiang, didn't you talk to her yesterday? What did she tell you? Someone asked curiously.
"Barnyard ~~ You are very poor." Han Qiong spat dissatisfied, and then said, "She invited me to dinner, said that I would help her send a message to the prefect, and she also said that the new champion was going to be wronged, and she asked the prefect to help her uphold justice." β
"Really?"
"Is that fake?" Han Qiong glared at him and said, "If I hadn't heard such a thing, I would have run away without eating the wine and food in my mouth?" β
"You can eat and run." The crowd joked.
"That's not good, I, Han Qiong, am also a person with a bottom line, I eat people with a soft mouth, and if I eat, I have to help her do things!" Han Qiong patted her chest in a good way.
"You still have a bottom line." The crowd burst into laughter.
"This was said yesterday, but the fire broke out in the middle of the night, and you say, "Is this fire too evil?" Could it be that the new champion is really wronged? β
"Shhhh Don't talk nonsense, beware of the evil that comes out of your mouth. β
Β§ Yue Nuan stood at the back of the crowd, and the red that usually does not leave her body has been replaced and turned into a dark blue coat and a floor-length skirt of the same color. Black embroidered shoes.
The head full of green silk was also wrapped in a blue and white bandana, and his face was decorated, and the whole person looked like an ordinary woman in her early thirties, with a vegetable basket in her hand, on which many vegetables were piled up.
She listened quietly for a while, then lowered her head and walked to the mansion.
in the crowd. Two of the three people who appeared in the courtyard yesterday appeared. I'm looking around for something.
On the street corner opposite the mansion, Zhu Yuenuan stopped.
Chu Chongzhu, Chu Erbing, and the two gentlemen ran nervously to this side, followed by Xu Mingchan's side.
"Could it be a mistake? My eldest daughter-in-law is so good at kung fu. How could she be burned ......" The grief on Chu Chongzhu's face was revealed.
"Why didn't my sister-in-law come to Yuyang Mansion to find Xu Zhifu, but went to the guest house? Are you mistaken? Chu Erbing frowned and said hurriedly.
"Our work found half of the incense over there, and Mrs. Chu's kung fu is no matter how good. What the hell is a woman......" Catcher said this, swallowing the rest of the words.
Chu Chongzhu didn't speak. His face became even more solemn.
Β§ Yue Nuan sighed, waited for them to pass, turned around and walked along the wall of the mansion, and saw that there was no one around. Jumped in.
A moment, she appeared in Xu Mingchan's study.
"What the hell are you doing, girl?" Xu Mingchan sat in front of the bookcase, with more than a dozen dossiers stacked in front of him. When I heard the movement, I looked up, and I was not surprised at all. glanced at her, and continued to look at the file in his hand, "Fake death? There are too many suspicions, they will react quickly, this trick is okay to fool those subordinates. β
"I'm just trying to get a little more work." Zhu Yuenuan put the basket on the bookcase and sat down, "There are people on the road, more than a dozen people in black, fortunately, I have a heart before I go out, and I take the incense powder left for me by my uncle, otherwise, I will have to work hard." β
"So, you swaggered into Yuyang Mansion, and picked the small courtyard behind the inn, threw half of the incense, and set this fire?" Xu Mingchan glanced up at her again, and his tone was a little disapproving, "The two small courtyards are also worth a lot of silver, and you still make people panic." ββ¦
"You have to let people know that the new champion is wronged." Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips and disagreed, "Moreover, my uncle is wrong, the incense is not mine, someone really attacked me, it's just that I left early and knocked over the candlestick, just now, I still saw them looking for them outside, and I guess I didn't believe it." β
"You want to borrow public opinion?" Xu Mingchan put down the file in his hand, looked at Zhu Yuenuan and asked.
"Why not?" Zhu Yuenuan looked at him straightly, and after that, she reached out and took out the vegetables in the basket one by one, took out a small cloth bag from below, opened it and put it in front of him, "This is the drawing, yesterday, they also sent someone to secretly rummage through my package." β
"Who knows this?" Xu Mingchan took it, but instead of opening it, he asked.
"I, my father-in-law, my brother-in-law, Mr. Feng, Mr. Ruan." Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips and replied a little helplessly, "All the way, they accompanied me to survey everywhere, looked at the drawings I made, and halfway, Mr. Ruan gave me a shortcut." β
Xu Mingchan nodded, opened the thing in his hand and took a closer look, then wrapped it again and handed it to her, and said: "You take this thing and go to Beijing first, leave it to me here, I will ask Mr. Ruan for another drawing, as for you, for the time being, I will say that my whereabouts are unknown, and I will send someone to find out." β
"Thank you, uncle." Zhu Yuenuan smiled and bent her eyes.
"What you said about the public opinion, I will send people to Zhiyu Academy and Daishan Academy to convey it, and ask them to prepare a joint letter from students." When Xu Mingchan said this, he looked at her with some concern, "It's just you, and now it's turning light into darkness, if you encounter an accident, ......"
"Uncle, don't worry, I won't give them a chance to completely destroy me." Zhu Yuenuan waved her hand casually, smiling indifferently, "Those little minions are really not my opponents, but my father-in-law and brother-in-law, they don't know kung fu, and they don't know the inside story, so I ask my uncle to take care of them, and when the time comes, I will tell them." β
"I've got it." Xu Mingchan nodded.
"That...... Uncle, I don't have enough money, so I'll borrow some first. Zhu Yuenuan got up, just took two steps and then stepped back and said with a smile.
"Wait here." Xu Mingchan smiled, knocked his fingers on the table, went out, and came back. In addition to a few silver tickets, there were also two prayer notes, and handed them to her, "Your uncle is a poor official, and he doesn't have much silver, and there are a hundred taels here, so you will use it." And these two prayer posts. One is from Lord Tobe Shangshuliu, and the other is from Lord Goshizong, both of whom are protΓ©gΓ©s of their father. is also my senior brother of the same year, if you have any matter, you can go to them for help. β
"Okay." Zhu Yuenuan nodded and accepted it unceremoniously.
"Let's go when it's dark." Xu Mingchan said.
"Nope. Let's go now. Zhu Yuenuan shook her head.
"Be careful." Xu Mingchan thought about it and didn't keep her.
Zhu Yuenuan put things back in place. I carried the basket out and turned back to the street, and the news on the street had already spread.
The champion of the new department may have been wronged, and the fire was too strange......
She didn't care. I found a ready-to-wear store and bought a few sets of men's and women's clothes, and quietly came to the ruined temple in the west of the city and changed into men's clothes. I put everything else on my back and went to Beijing alone.
And this side. When Chu Chongzhu and Chu Erbing returned to the mansion from the inn, their faces were very ugly.
"Master Chu, it's true that there are remnants of Miss Nuan's clothes there, but isn't there no one to find? Since she didn't find it, it means that she may have escaped, Miss Nuan's identity, I am not an opponent, how could she be trapped by that little fire? Seeing this, Mr. Feng scratched his head and said with a slightly slumped face.
"I don't believe something happened to her, but where can she go? In case of...... What if someone catches her? The more Chu Chongzhu thought about it, the more he went to the bad place. β¦
"Dad, can't you say something good?" Chu Erbing squatted under the eaves, listened upset, and turned his head to refute.
"Stinky boy, your sister-in-law is in trouble for your brother, and she can't get it back, how can we explain it to the Zhu family? How do you explain to your brother? Chu Chong's anger came up and shouted at him.
"Brother is still in prison!" Chu Er stood up and said, "Aren't we unable to find our sister-in-law now?" Now that the people are gone, what's the use of us talking here? β
"Two, two." Mr. Feng hurriedly stepped forward, standing in the middle of the Chu family's father and son, playing a round field, "Looking for someone, there is a prefect, let's discuss it well, what about this drawing?" The drawings made by Miss Nuan, which of you remembers? β
"I've only seen a rough idea, if it's ...... Can't draw. Chu Chongzhu looked at him in astonishment, and shook his head dejectedly for a while.
"I remember some." Chu Erbing immediately raised his hand and said hurriedly.
"I was so focused on surveying that I didn't even look at her drawings." Mr. Ruan said lightly.
"That'...... Do you try? Mr. Feng set his eyes on Chu Erbing.
"Try it." Chu Erbing raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and he didn't respond in a low voice.
"Several, the prefect is invited." At this moment, Xu Mingchan sent someone to invite.
Several people followed the entourage inside, but were taken to the guest room first.
"Two gentlemen, please wait." The entourage politely smiled at Mr. Feng and Mr. Ruan and nodded, "Lord Xu has something to ask Master Chu and Second Prince Chu." β
"Go, go, go." Mr. Feng waved his hand widely.
Mr. Ruan sat quietly at the table, as if he was thinking about something.
The entourage left with Chu Chongzhu and Chu Erbing, and as soon as he brought the door, with a wave of his hand, six or seven officials immediately poured in silently and stood guard in front of the doors and windows of the guest room.
"This is ......," Chu Erbing pointed behind in surprise.
"Two of you, please." The attendant smiled, stepped aside, and stretched out his hand to ask, not explaining the current situation.
It's just that instead of taking them to see Xu Mingchan, he took the two of them to another guest room, and beckoned four officials to guard the door.
"What the hell is going on?" Chu Erbing's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters.
"Don't be impatient, you two, take a good rest here." The attendant bowed slightly, smiled politely, and took the door away. (To be continued)
