Chapter 101 The front yard was burned
"Lord Cangshu, Lord Huo Xi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Mrs. Ziliang's maidservant Hongling hurriedly ran over.
"What's wrong? Why is there such a commotion in this courtyard, but what happened? Gao Tao stepped forward to ask her.
It can be said that after Gao Tao and I finished those words, we went back to the room separately, and after a while, I saw that the sky was about to dawn, but there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard. I vaguely felt that something was going on in the courtyard, and as soon as I leaned out, Gao Tao also happened to open the door, and I stopped him who was going to inquire about the news, and told him that someone would come to tell us what was going on.
Sure enough, after a while, Hongling came.
"Yes." Hongling is so far away. "It's the adult's yard that is on fire, and the people in the courtyard are busy putting out the fire, and the sound is inevitably a little noisy. Madame was worried that it would affect the rest of the three adults, so she specially asked the slave maid to inform the three adults. ”
Sui Que's yard is on fire?!
I looked at Gao Tao in silence, and Gao Tao was just as confused.
"Why, don't you see Lord Shen Ji? Are adults uncomfortable and need the slave to ask the doctor in the courtyard to come over? Hongling leaned over and looked left and right, but asked when she didn't see Shen Ji.
Shen Ji......
It seems that she not only came to inform us of the commotion in the courtyard, but also because she was suspicious of us, so she came to check that we were all obediently staying in the courtyard.
"This ...... I really don't know. I simply said, and then asked Xiang Gaotao, "I went back to my room to rest before nightfall, and I didn't pay attention to Lord Shen Ji, did Lord Cangshu pay attention?" ”
Gao Tao was stunned by my question, and said bluntly, "At this time, Brother Shen Ji won't go out, is he still asleep in the room and didn't hear any movement?" Why don't you go and have a look? ”
"Good. Then please Miss Hongling later. I said, turned around and knocked on Shen Ji's door, "Shen Ji?!" ”
No one responded, and Hongling, who was standing behind him, looked much nervous.
I slammed the door with more strength, "Shen Ji?!" Are you in the room?! Open the door! ”
"What's the matter?" Shen Yu's voice suddenly came out of the door, Hongling was stunned, only listening to the voice in the door and opening the door while complaining, "It's so late, why don't you sleep and toss?" ”
I turned around seriously to look at Hongling.
"This ......" Hongling was speechless for a while, she was surprised to see Shen Ji, and then looked at it carefully, and was sure that it was Shen Ji.
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Yu wore a single coat, rubbed his eyes, and yawned and asked.
"It's nothing, Brother Shen Ji, it's Lord Sui Que's courtyard that has gone into water, and the people in this courtyard are busy saving it, so it's a little noisy. Mrs. Ziliang specially asked Miss Hongling to come and talk to us. Gao Tao stepped forward and explained to Shen Ji.
"Walking the water?!" Shen Ji looked shocked, "How is it?" Is it serious? ”
"It's okay, but fortunately it was discovered in time, and it has now been extinguished. Madame was worried about disturbing the three of them, so she sent Hongling to explain. Since the three adults are fine, Hongling will go back to inform Madame first. Hongling said that, bowed to us, and turned to leave.
I sneered and turned my head to look at them, "That's a good fit." ”
"People haven't gone far. Pay attention to what you say. Gao Tao reminded.
"Oh, do you have to give us an explanation, Shen, Ji, Da, Ren?" I grabbed Shen Ji by the collar and asked.
Shen Ji had a headache. "Come in and talk about it."
I looked at Gao Tao again at this time, Gao Tao just turned his head to look at me, but they looked at each other, smiled, followed Shen Ji, followed Shen Ji into his room, Shen Ji stood by the door, and after we entered, he looked out and left and right before closing the door.
"You ......" I was about to ask him what he had done, when I heard a small sound from the room, and when I looked up, the two people in the room immediately understood what I meant, and I continued, "You say, how is it that this Suique-sama's yard is on fire?" ”
"On this cold day, could it be because the stove in the room was on fire, and other things were burning without paying attention?" Shen Ji took over.
"If that's just the case, then Hongling's appearance just now is a little strange." Gao Tao looked left and right at me and Shen Ji, "Brother Shen Ji, you didn't see it, but Huo Xi ...... Huo Xi and I can see it clearly, if it is an ordinary time, how could Mrs. Ziliang let the maid come over in a hurry to tell it? I don't think it's that simple, and maybe someone set the fire to it. ”
Gao Tao almost said Miss Huo Xi, which made me break out in a cold sweat.
"Arson?! Who would dare to set fire here? When I said this, I saw Shen Ji's reaction, and he nodded to me, so I continued, "How can I say this, it is also the mansion of Lord Sui Que, and it is not a big crime to set fire to it here, if it is discovered?" ”
"But if someone deliberately framed it, then maybe it's going to happen." Gao Tao said, raised his hand and poured a bowl of water out of the jug, he handed it to me with the bowl, I reached out to take it, but he grabbed it violently. I was stunned for a while, understood what he meant, and looked at the shadow reflected in the water bowl, there was a light on the roof, and someone had opened the gap, and I could vaguely see from the reflection in the water bowl that it was Hongling.
"Now, Taiji Yunjin has just been sent back to the Fuying Clan, if there is an incident in the courtyard of Lord Sui Que's mansion, doesn't it just prove that Taiji Yunjin will cause trouble wherever he goes?" Shen Yu didn't see the reflection in the water bowl, but he already looked clear just by looking at my reaction.
"First of all, there were frequent incidents in the Gaoyang clan, and now there are incidents in the Fuying clan, and the charge of rebellion of Taiji Yunjin may not be cleared. Xu is a person who has the intention to blame him, and if he does it deliberately, he will trap Taiji Yunjin in a desperate situation. Not only is there something strange about the unprovoked water in this mansion, but I am afraid that from the Gao Yang clan to the Fu Ying clan, there have been many cases one after another because someone is deliberately framing Taiji Yunjin. As I spoke, I took the bowl of water and placed it in front of me, reflecting the figure on it.
Hongling seemed to be aware of it, and dodged it a little, and after a while, Hongling retreated.
I looked up at them, "She's gone." ”
"It seems that there is indeed an accident in the courtyard of Lord Suique." Gao Tao's expression began to gradually become solemn.
"Shen Ji, what's going on?" I finally got the chance to ask.
"I sneaked into Sui Que's yard at night to find out if he was really sick." Shen Ji said where he went at night, "However, I happened to meet Mrs. Ziliang and Hongling to send the doctor out, so I hid......"
Shen Jian suspected that Sui Que was pretending to be sick, so after everyone returned to the room to rest, he sneaked into Sui Que's yard alone. At that time, Mrs. Ziliang happened to ask the doctor to see Sui Que and send the doctor out. Shen Jian heard the doctor say to Mrs. Ziliang that Sui Que was very sick. Mrs. Ziliang instructed the people in the courtyard to take good care of it, so she took the medicine prescribed by the doctor and went to the kitchen to cook it herself.
And at this moment, Shen Yu entered the room through the window and saw that Sui Que was still asleep.
As he was leaving, he suddenly heard a strange movement......
"I saw it with my own eyes. At that time, I had just turned out of the window and heard movement in front of the door, so I kept an eye on it and did not leave directly, but hid in the dark to take precautions. I saw the man, with his face covered, taking out of the stove a half-burned piece of firewood, and lighting it in many places in the house. Shen Ji actually saw the person who set the fire at that time.
"Did you see the man's face?" I didn't get my hopes up, but I confirmed it with him.
Shen Ji shook his head powerlessly. "He covered his face, but it was certain that the man was wearing the same clothes as the people in this courtyard, but I dare not say for sure whether he was a person from this courtyard or an outsider who stole his clothes and went to set it on fire."
"Wearing the clothes of a subordinate, but covering your face?" Gao Tao's bright eyes gradually lifted his spirit.
"If it is an outsider, he wears the clothes of a subordinate to facilitate walking in the courtyard. Then cover your face before you attract attention...... "I understand the meaning of Gaotao's words. "Therefore, there is no need for outsiders to cover their faces at all, unless this person can be recognized."
I'm afraid of being recognized, so I cover my face.
Then the person who set fire to the house is the one who can be recognized.
Who is this person?
"Huo Xi, what do you think Hongling means?" Shen Ji hesitated for a long time, unsure of his idea.
What does Hongling mean.
At first, we only heard movement outside the courtyard and knew that something might be going on in the house. Judging from Hongling's reaction at the time, Sui Que should be fine, so what was the reason for her ...... In other words, Mrs. Envoy Ziliang sent Hongling to tell us what had happened before, as if they wanted us to know that Sui Que's room had been set on fire.
And this was originally a matter in their mansion, why did they take the initiative to inform us outsiders?
Hongling hypothetically left, but secretly climbed into the room to observe our every move and eavesdrop on our words. When you think about this behavior, it is not difficult to find that she wants to know what our reaction was after telling us about the fire in Sui Que's house.
And Hongling is Mrs. Ziliang's maidservant, and she herself has no connection with us, so it can be imagined that what Hongling did tonight was probably instructed by Mrs. Ziliang.
"I can't guess, wait for dawn, it's friend or foe, I think, it can be confirmed when it dawns." I have a hunch, but it's hard to explain it now, but I always feel that all this is just a hint given to me by Mrs. Ziliang.
It's just that the fire in Sui Que's house was also done by Mrs. Ziliang?
If Sui Que was really seriously ill, even if Mrs. Ziliang set a trap and wanted to do something, but if the news of this matter leaked out, it would be enough to ruin her reputation and be punished, would she take such a big risk? (To be continued.) )
