In the end, under Ye Zhiqiu's persuasion, Chu Ning agreed to return to Tiansheng obediently, and quickly learned a good martial arts before he could return to Kyoto to protect his eldest sister. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Ye Zhiqiu's words, Chu Ning listened to them, but Chu Ning's request Ye Zhiqiu also had to respond, so during the time he lived in Kyoto, Ye Zhiqiu lived directly in the Xiao family. This is also what Chu Ning meant, although Ye Zhiqiu has a good ability, but he can't solve the near fire far away, even if he has a good ability, if Ye Zhiqiu is not in the mansion when the thief comes, it will be in vain.

Chu Ning, this kid is willful, and such a difficult request for a strong man can only be accepted by someone with a temperament like Ye Zhiqiu, and Xiao Chuxuan is somewhat embarrassed by this. On the contrary, Ye Zhiqiu opened his mouth to comfort and persuade, which made Xiao Chusu unable to bear it.

There is really a gentleman like Ye Zhiqiu in this world, who is gentle and gentle, and he has a good temperament to treat everyone as a gentleman.

Although there is an outsider in the family, because Ye Zhiqiu is also familiar, and his temperament is really admirable, his stay is not strange to the young master of the Xiao family, but it is also welcome. Although he was in the house at night, Ye Zhiqiu also had his own affairs when he was ordinary, so he often left the house and was busy with private matters.

Chu Ning returned to Tiansheng, the Xiao family instantly calmed down a lot, and Chu Ran was a good traveler, and after returning to Kyoto for only a few days after worshipping his ancestors, he didn't know where to go to make an appointment with literati and ink writers, and invited him to travel. There were two younger brothers in the family all of a sudden, and it was indeed a little quieter, but the slight quietness of the Xiao family was still noisy for Xiao Chusu.

After all, the eldest young master, the third young master, and the fourth young master, the three who are the most noisy, are still staying in Kyoto. The head of the family alone felt that they couldn't live in peace, not to mention that Xiao Chusu himself had a lot of things to do, and he didn't know how to write the word Ansheng.

The matter of the maid, the cloth workshop and the water, and the murder on the way back to Beijing, these things have not been clued so far, one by one, even those who don't think about it can't help but think about it now. The maid's incident was resolved because of Han Ye's help, and because he owed a favor, Chu Rui was not idle today.

The eldest sister personally opened her mouth and asked him to thank King Xiaoyao well, but she was unhappy in her heart, and her mind was also wasted. Therefore, during this period of time, Chu Rui ran to the Xiaoyao Mansion all day long, but he spent half a day in the palace, and he regarded the Xiaoyao Mansion as the inn where he stayed.

As for Chu Jie and Chu Rui, Chu Jie is nothing unusual, it is still as usual, but Chu Heng is a little strange there. I don't know which devil I have, I don't stay at home anymore, I don't go to the fireworks and willow alleys to mix, and I don't know what the gods are talking about all day long.

Xiao Chuxuan didn't give an accurate word every time he asked, so he just put on a mysterious and provocative smile and continued to be busy with the mysterious thing. The third brother is so mysterious, Xiao Chusu is naturally worried, how could he betray Xiao Shou when he returned to Beijing last time, no matter how Xiao Chushu asks this time, the third young master's personal servant is like a sealed mouth, and he refuses to leak a word.

Chu Heng smiled and refused to speak, Xiao Shou was beaten to death here and didn't speak, and both of them were awkward. Thinking about staring at himself, he didn't dare to stir up the sky no matter how mixed he was, so Xiao Chuxuan was too lazy to inquire again, caring about the busy business.

The last time the cloth mill went to the water, although no one was injured and the material was in good condition, it was also a troublesome thing to destroy two or three rooms. The cloth workshop is the root of the Xiao family, and it is also half of the face of the Xiao family, and there are many distinguished guests who come and go on weekdays. There are a few destroyed houses in that box, and it is not a matter of time for a long time.

Because of the destruction of a few rooms, half of Xiao Chusu's recent thoughts are on it, leaving the house and going to the cloth workshop, and the three shopkeepers who were notified early in the morning were outside the workshop. Seeing Xiao Chusu's sedan chair arrive, the three shopkeepers hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and without saying much, he led Xiao Chusu into the backyard.

This water-walking house is very close to the warehouse where the materials are stored, if it weren't for the fact that the guys found out in time and handled it properly, the materials of the Xiao family would have to be swallowed by fire.

After entering the cloth workshop, he went directly to the back, and when he arrived at the house where the water was walking, looking at the charcoal house, the third shopkeeper said: "Miss, these are the houses that have gone through the water, because I think that the eldest lady may want to come and see it in person." So the little one didn't have the order to be repaired, and it was still left like this. ”

The third shopkeeper is worthy of being the person Xiao Chusu has a crush on, and he knows her thoughts very well, because of the slight words, Xiao Chusu said after answering the head: "It has been like this since you walked through the water?" ”

"Yes! Because Xiao always felt that this fire was too strange, and did not prevent someone from doing anything on his back, he specially sent a guy to keep an eye on it during this time. Therefore, this place is still like a fire, and nothing should be changed. ”

"Well done."

couldn't bear to praise again, Xiao Chuxuan entered the abandoned house with the support of Xiang Zhu.

As the three shopkeepers suspected, the fire in the cloth workshop was indeed strange, and the Xiao family's cloth workshop was so big that all the businesses in Kyoto together could not find one that could be compared. It was such a big business, and the house next to the warehouse where the fabrics were kept caught fire, if all this was a coincidence, Xiao Chuxuan didn't believe this set of arguments.

Take a look in the abandoned house now.

The ruins and broken walls are scorched black everywhere, and the bamboo is supported by his side, and from time to time he may also make those broken horizontal rails hook his clothes and stumble. From what we are seeing now, it is enough to guess how big the fire was that day, and it was raging with the burning intent to destroy everything. Such a raging flame, but destroyed a few houses without implicating the warehouse next to it, is enough to prove that Xiao Chusu really didn't look away.

The third treasurer is a trustworthy person.

However, it was precisely because of the burns left in the abandoned house here and there that their conjecture was strengthened.

This one fires.

It's not simple.

Because it's too big.

While frowning, he carefully looked at everything in the abandoned house, and when he noticed a different place out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Chu immediately paused. After pausing his steps, he raised his hand and motioned to Xiangzhu not to move, and after looking at it for a long time, Xiao Chuxuan walked up directly.

It was a chaotic place, and because of the fire, it was a mess, and it was full of traces of fire. Broken tables and chairs, collapsed railings, piled up here, make this place even more cluttered.

Because he noticed that the eldest lady was very concerned about this place, the third shopkeeper hurriedly walked over and asked, "Eldest lady, but you are suspicious of this place?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Chu nodded his head, and without waiting for her to speak, the third shopkeeper directly beckoned the man behind him to come up and move the sundries away.

After getting the shopkeeper's instructions, the man naturally didn't dare to be lazy, and immediately stepped forward and then began to move those broken things. In a short time, it was almost clear. When the place was still clear, Xiao Chusu shouted to stop, and the guys all stopped their movements and retreated to the back, so Xiao Chusu stepped forward and squatted down.

The burn marks were noticeably heavier than those on the side, and the blackness spread from the ground to all sides, leaving extremely heavy burns on all the unbroken remnants.

Always frowning and looking at the burning marks in front of him, his eyes wandered all the way around from the ground of the carbon crow, and finally Xiao Chusu suddenly stretched out his hand and picked up something from the ground.

The eldest lady squatted there, because of the loose clothes, so what the eldest lady picked up, no one in the back could see clearly, but the eyebrows that protruded from the heart of the eldest lady's side and served closely on the eyebrows of the bamboo eyebrows also made people can't bear the suspicion in their hearts.

Did the eldest lady find anything there.

What the owner did, who dared to ask, just sneaked around like that, until the eldest lady was supported by the bamboo. put the thing picked up from the ground into Xiang Zhu's hand, and then saw Xiang Zhu put the thing in his purse, and saw the eldest lady say to the third shopkeeper.

"Three shopkeepers, report to the official."

"Miss, why?"

"Someone maliciously set fire, this matter has to be handed over to the yamen, and let the people from the yamen help us find out." After speaking, he looked towards the charcoal black place, Xiao Chuxuan said: "I am afraid that this place is the place where the person set the fire, and it is only because of the fire oil that this fire is urgent." specially chose the place so close to the treasury to pour oil on the fire, that person clearly wanted to do evil and wanted to ruin my Xiao family's business. Besides......"

After a slight pause at this point, his gaze moved away from the charcoal black place and then seemed to be unable to cross the face of the guy, Xiao Chu said: "Besides, this place is so tricky and secretive, I am afraid that this matter has nothing to do with the interior of our cloth workshop." ”

Although the eldest lady's words were clear, the meaning of the words was clear, and the guys who were waiting on the side at the moment looked confused one by one, although they didn't dare to ask loudly, but there were still suspicious whispers. Everyone was stealing, because no one could believe that someone in the cloth workshop would do such a thing.

It was under this private theft that no one reprimanded, Xiao Chusu suddenly opened his mouth again.

There was no need to show it, Xiao Chuxuan just spoke, and the guys who were whispering below instantly stopped talking. No one dared to look directly at the eldest lady with their heads down, and they didn't dare to look at it directly, Xiao Chuxuan said.

"I know you don't believe what you just said, and to be honest, I don't believe it myself. If I hadn't just found that thing on the ground, I wouldn't have thought that this arson had something to do with our cloth workshop. This matter is of great importance and must not be tolerated, so this time I must be an official, so that what I have just picked up should be presented to the official office tomorrow. The official government will inevitably find out who committed the arson this time and severely punish it. ”

The eldest lady said that this time the fire was deliberately set by someone, and this person was most likely someone in the cloth workshop. Because the eldest lady has always treated the guys under her very well, so these words came out of Xiao Chu's mouth, and the guys believed it. What's more, the eldest lady clearly found something on the ground and suspected the people in the workshop because of the thing she found, so the eldest lady's angry guess was even more convincing.

The suspicion in my heart was even heavier because of the anger of the eldest lady, but I couldn't imagine who was so evil, the guys saw Xiao Chu's dark face, handed over Xiangzhu's purse to the three shopkeepers, and then said: "The three shopkeepers, this thing will be put on you, Ming'er personally sent it to the yamen, there is the thing inside, I think Lord Luo can find out who did it." ”

"Miss, don't worry, put this small thing here, the small one will be put away, and Ming'er will send it to Kaifeng Mansion and hand it over to Lord Luo."

"Hmmm! I'll leave it to you. ”

After handing over the important thing to the three shopkeepers, Xiao Chusu no longer stayed here, but left the cloth workshop with an angry face.

The evil fire that broke out in the cloth workshop that day was actually done by someone maliciously, and this person was not a bystander, but most likely a person from the cloth workshop. There is no need to deliberately publicize this matter, and when Xiao Chu left the cloth workshop in a hurry, the kung fu of a stick of incense spread in the cloth workshop.

This matter is very important, after the news of the incident, the men in the cloth workshop were shocked, no one could have imagined that such an evil thing was actually done by the people inside the cloth workshop. They are all people who have been around for a long time, how can they believe this, but I heard the guy who went to the burning place with the eldest lady today, and the eldest lady also found an important thing there, because of this thing, he reprimanded the thief that the thief was the guy in the cloth workshop. Therefore, those who are too frightened to believe now do not believe, and they have to believe.

Even the evidence was found, and the eldest lady was angry, and the face of the third shopkeeper was angry that he had never seen before.

Thinking about this thing, I'm afraid that it was really someone in the cloth workshop who did it.

maliciously set fire to the fabrics in the warehouse, and if this person asks the officials to find out, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as a few years in prison.

Because of this incident, everyone in the cloth workshop today is suspicious, and everyone is wondering who is so ambitious as a wolf, and even such a thing can be done. Some even said that if they knew who had done this, they would not have spared the evil-hearted Lord. Such a good proprietor is just a matter of not doing things with all his heart, and even doing such a conspiracy.

It's a spit.

There is no wall in the world that separates the wind, not to mention this one thing, Xiao Chusu didn't intend to let it be separated by a wall, so at this time, the head of the Xiao family was sitting there leisurely flipping through the accounts, his eyebrows stretched and relaxed. The eldest lady's mind is too difficult to guess, that is, Xiang Zhu, who serves her all day long, and many times she can't guess what her young lady wants to do. Take the incident in the cloth workshop just now, Xiang Zhu still hasn't figured out what the purpose of Miss's trip is.

The eldest lady found something in the ruined and burned house of the cloth mill, and that thing also clearly pointed the finger at the guys in the cloth mill, which is the word that is being circulated by the guys in the cloth mill at the moment. At that time, the guys were behind Xiao Chusu, and in fact they didn't see anything, but the box bamboo standing beside the eldest lady was from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

At that time, the eldest lady did not pick up anything, and what she put in her purse was only a piece of wood chips that the eldest lady picked up from the ground. A piece of sawdust, how can it prove anything, I don't know what the eldest lady means by this trip, and she has been thinking about it since she returned home. I also noticed Xiang Zhu's puzzlement, Xiao Chu said.

"What are you thinking?"

"Yes." Nodding in response, Xiang Zhu asked, "The eldest lady only picked up a piece of sawdust at that time, it was a piece of sawdust, what does the eldest lady mean?" ”

"What do you mean, of course it's fishing."

"Fishing?"

"Yes." Putting down the account in his hand with a smile, Xiao Chuxuan said: "If you can find that place so accurately and light a fire in that place, the person who set the fire must be our Xiao family's own people." ”

"Indeed, that place is very close to the storehouse, and if it weren't for the people inside the cloth workshop, it would definitely not be able to enter there." Nodding in response, Xiang Zhu said. After saying that, his eyebrows also frowned slightly, and asked: "The eldest lady wants to use that piece of sawdust as bait to fish out the fish, Xiang Zhu understands, but how can the eldest lady be sure that the fish will bite the hook." ”

"That fish will definitely bite!" The affirmative smile made Xiang Zhu's heart settle because of the smile, and it was this confident smile that rose, Xiao Chu said: "Because the thief who set the fire is not fat, he will definitely bite the hook." ”

Obviously, he could get close to the warehouse, but he chose a place not far away, and he clearly had a thief's heart and no thief's courage to let people find out. I didn't want anyone to find out, but unfortunately left behind deadly evidence, no matter what, that person would definitely bite the hook and think of taking this terrible thing away.
