The Xiao family is in a hurry at the moment, and the fire is burning from two places, a warehouse and a backyard. The main courtyard and study in front of it were rescued in time and there was no loss, but the treasury and backyard were burned beyond recognition. The fire points in these two places were different, and the Jin County Commander was also alarmed, and brought a group of officials to help extinguish the fire.

After the fire was hothered and the ladies of the Xiao family avoided it, Jin Xian Ling personally took someone in to check it out, and the more he looked at it, the more he wondered. Second Master Xiao followed Jin Xian Ling all the way in, and the place he passed was full of messes, but fortunately, there were no casualties.

"This ......" Jin Xianling couldn't help but be shocked after reading it: "If it weren't for the deep hatred, you wouldn't be able to do such a thing, although there were fires in two places at the same time, there were many fires in the backyard." If the fire is not a little smaller, I am afraid that none of the ladies of your mansion will be able to escape. Ziyu, did you offend someone? ”

Ziyu is the expression of the second master Xiao, he and Jin Xianling were originally brothers in the same school, but his family did not take the entrance examination to take the road of business, just to support the concubine Niangniang's expenses in the public school. Therefore, even if it is a side branch, it is also the most trusted branch of the concubine.

"My lord, what kind of person Ziyu is, adults know it. has been in business for decades, who saw Xiao and didn't praise a Confucian businessman? Now that the treasury has been destroyed and the backyard has been burned, it is clear that it is for my Xiao family and for Concubine Shu. Please also ask the adults to give the Xiao family an explanation and give an explanation to the lady concubine. ”

Jin Xianling's face collapsed, and he also knew that this matter should not be underestimated, but the scene was burned in a mess, and there was no evidence to be found. Although he had already called for someone to lock down the city and search, he might be able to set fire to such a drip-tight fire, but he was afraid that he was a master. Even if he Heishui County is the largest county in the surrounding ten miles and eight townships, there is no one who can be called a master in the government.

"This official has asked people to seal the city and search, presumably it will be possible to gain something soon, but Brother Ziyu should also recall whether there is anything that has offended anyone."

After Jin Xianling finished speaking, he didn't be polite, and left with people. Acquaintances are acquaintances, such a big case, if you put too much pressure on me, I have to weigh it, right? If you can't catch someone, you tell Concubine Shu that I'm not, then can I still do it as an official?

Second Master Xiao is not so simple, he first asked people to check the loss of the treasury, this time the treasury was burned down, almost nothing was left, not to mention the silver tickets, and the treasury silver at home was also burned. But the second master Xiao soon found out that something was wrong, the silver tickets were all paper, and if they were burned, they would be gone, but even if the silver was burned, it would turn into silver water, how could there be nothing in the treasury?

He quickly checked his enemies in his heart, and called people to inquire about these people's homes, and then went to see his wife and children.

Xiao's second wife, Jin, was sitting in the flower hall trembling with Xiao Yujia in her arms, Xiao Yujin and Xiao Yuhui sat on the chair on the left side of the head, Xiao Yumin didn't sit, just stood behind her mother-in-law, and looked at Xiao Yujia who was crying angrily.

This time, the first fire in the backyard was Xiao Yujia's yard, followed by the second wife's yard, followed by the rooms of several other subordinates, Xiao Yujia lived the farthest away from her mother-in-law, so she was the first to escape, she had been hesitating whether to say what she saw.

But what's the use of saying it? Who would believe that a big living person can set fire out of thin air, not to mention that the person came and went without a trace, and disappeared on the roof in an instant, she didn't even see what the parents looked like, and when she said it, wouldn't it make her father more suspicious? And looking at the figure of the man, it seems to be a child, how could a child set fire?

Xiao Yumin sighed in her heart, but she was afraid that the mood of his wife and dead sister would not be good in the past few days, and it seemed that he would suffer again. No matter why my wife is in a bad mood, she is always the unluckiest one. It's better to be the eldest brother and the third sister, after all, they are also concubines, and the wife doesn't dare to treat the two of them too much. When will I be able to get rid of this home?

While she was thinking wildly, her father walked in from outside, and met her eyes, which made her feel confused. She was afraid that her father would see something, so she quickly lowered her head.

"Hmph, something that can't be on the table!"

A vicious sentence made Xiao Yumin's heart even colder. Her biological mother has died a long time ago, although she is only a concubine, but she is also her father's biological flesh and blood. Even if the concubine's status is low, she is also his child, why can't she give her a little warmth. The former mother-in-law treated her well, at least she didn't lose her in terms of food and clothing, but since the new second wife entered the door, she has been reduced to the point that she is not as good as the maid next to her wife.

"Father!" Xiao Yujin couldn't stand it anymore, and said loudly: "Now that the family is in trouble, does my father still have the heart to scold the second sister?" Is this the fault of the second sister? ”

"Shut up! You dare to talk back to me!! "The second master Xiao is here, and he was already pressed with a fire in his heart, and he was even more angry when he saw the cowering appearance of the concubine, but the eldest son actually dared to speak out, and he was angry for a while, only to feel that his chest had been stuffy.

"Master...... "The Jin family cried so much that the pear blossom raised his head with rain: "Si'er is afraid that he is scared, so the master should invite a doctor to take a look." ”

When Second Master Xiao looked at his little daughter, he saw that she was only crying, her face turned red from crying, and she was also worried in her heart, so she hurriedly ordered someone to come to the doctor, and asked about the situation of the Jin family at night. He came back too late tonight from the party, so he slept in the study, so he didn't know what was going on in the backyard.

Where did the Jin family know what was going on, they only said that the water was gone, and the slaves and maids were the first to find out, and quickly escaped from the yard with them, but the fire was too big, even if the rescue was timely, the house between her and Si'er was burned to charcoal.

Second Master Xiao was even more depressed when he heard this, he didn't even see the person who set the fire, how can he check this? He had just seen it, but there was no trace of firewood around the house, and there was nothing to start a fire. The fire appeared on the roof out of thin air. Who has the ability to lead such a big fire without relying on firewood?

The doctor was soon invited, Xiao Yujia was still frightened after seeing the doctor, and Jin said: "Why don't you invite a Taoist chief to suppress the shock?" ”

Second Master Xiao usually feels the most sorry for this little daughter, and he has no choice but to let people take the post, go to Qingfeng Temple quickly, and invite the Taoist chief of Poyang.

The elder of Poyang Dao saw that the roof of the Xiao family was pitch black, and he also saw the fire under the mountain, and knew where the water was gone.
