Chapter 45: Unfinished
Liu Xuan walked through the crowd all the way forward accompanied by the red lotus, until she came to a pint of incense and a zhang away before she was stopped by the officer, Liu Xuan's eyes were red by the flame, she took a deep breath and asked the officer: "Dare to ask...... Dare to ask if anyone has escaped from this fragrance? The official sighed and shook his head: "No one can escape, the good Yizhou No. 1 Restaurant is gone, and I don't know who the owner has offended." ”
The official's sigh was very light, but Liu Xuan heard it in the noise, and she immediately grabbed the official who wanted to leave and asked, "What offended people?" Please, be clear. ”
The official frowned and looked at the clothes he was carrying, if it weren't for Liu Xuan's dusty temperament and the beauty he had never seen, this official would definitely be angry.
He looked up and saw Liu Xuan's excited appearance, guessing that she must have someone inside, and immediately kindly pointed to the still burning Yipinxiang and explained: "See, except for this Pinxiang, there is no fire everywhere, which proves that someone poured fire oil on Yipinxiang, and this is the most prosperous street in Yizhou, although it is late at night, there are also guards, and there are people left behind in various shops, if this Pinxiang is a normal fire, it will be found at the first time, but after interrogation, Everyone said that when they found the fire, Yipinxiang was already on fire. ”
He also comforted Liu Xuan when he said this: "Girl, it's useless for you to be anxious now, the people in this incense must have died before the fire, otherwise someone will definitely jump out of the window and jump out of the building, so as not to die silently, so as not to suffer from the fire." ”
Liu Xuan was immersed in the words of the officer, yes, what the official said was right, the fire must have been deliberately set by someone, otherwise the fire would not have been so fast, and the people in it must have been extinguished, Yipinxiang is not high, only three floors, and the second steward and Steward Hu both live in the back room on the first floor, even if someone deliberately set the fire, they can run out.
Yes, someone has come to seek revenge on her!
Liu Xuan came back to her senses suddenly, and suddenly said, "Not good!" ”
She immediately let go of the hand holding the officer's clothes, turned around and ran towards the carriage without crowding, and followed behind with red eyes crying: "Miss, you wait for me." ”
Honglu finally caught up with Liu Xuan, and as soon as he got into the carriage, he heard Liu Xuan tell the coachman: "Hurry, go to the old house of the Liu family, the sooner the better!" ”
Honglu wanted to ask why she suddenly went to the Liu family's old house, but she saw her young lady's pale face and the fist clenched tightly on her knee, and closed her mouth in silence.
The old house of the Liu family is not far from a pint of incense, at this moment it is late at night all the way unimpeded, and soon the carriage made the back door of the old house of the Liu family, Liu Xuan jumped out of the carriage first, got off the carriage and came directly to the back door and knocked hard, bang, bang, the sound of knocking on the door resounded in the night sky, but the back door of the old house of the Liu family did not move at all.
Liu Xuan didn't stop, she had a glimmer of hope in her heart, the people in the house were just asleep, maybe they were getting up, she only needed to knock for a while, someone would come to open the door, she kept knocking again and again.
Hongluo also stepped forward and knocked on the door, bang, bang, the door panel was knocked and shook for a while, but there was still no movement behind the door.
Liu Xuan stopped abruptly and said to the driver behind him: "Hit the door!" ”
The coachman was instructed, took one of the beams of the carriage, and took a step back with the beam: "Miss, please get out of the way, the small one is going to be hit." ”
Liu Xuan and Hongyuan took two steps back, and the coachman rushed towards the back door of the Liu family's old house with a beam, and finally the back door of the Liu family's old house fell with a sound of 'coaxing'.
As soon as the back door fell, Liu Xuan rushed directly into it with an arrow step, and Honglu followed closely and ran into Liu's house.
The coachman always felt a little strange today, and he also wanted to follow up, but he still had a beam in his hand, so he had to load the beam on the carriage again, and after he finished loading, he thought that the carriage was unguarded, so he had to sit in the carriage again and wait for Liu Xuan to come back.
He sat in the carriage and looked at the Liu family's old mansion, suddenly his neck was cold, and then a sharp pain hit, he was startled and touched his neck, but as soon as he touched his neck, it was dark in front of him and he was unconscious.
Liu Xuan entered Liu's house and ran straight towards the backyard, there was no light along the way, and the entire Liu family's old house was shrouded in silence and darkness, but fortunately, everything in the empty house was still vague and recognizable.
She came to the back house and didn't walk a few steps before she smelled a strong smell of blood, her heart beat violently because of the strong smell of blood, Liu Xuan stopped, at this moment the red lotus behind her caught up with her in three or two steps with a lantern in her hand, Hong Lotus's face was pale, although she was reckless but not stupid, the empty old house, the strong blood all made her frightened.
But she didn't retreat, because Liu Xuan didn't retreat.
With a pale face, she swallowed her saliva and trembled to lift the lantern to light the way for Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan took a deep breath and then raised her feet and walked step by step towards the depths of the backyard, every step she took was extremely difficult, and her legs seemed to weigh a thousand gold.
Although she already had the answer in her heart, and although she was prepared when she walked in, she was still shocked when she came to the atrium in the backyard.
On the atrium of the backyard, there were neatly placed the corpses of the servants of the Liu family's old house, one by one, neatly rowed, thirty-seven corpses, one by one.
There was a scream of red grass in her ears, Liu Xuan took the lantern in her hand and let her vent well, but she stared at those corpses and never took her eyes off, obviously when she left yesterday, these people were still alive, just like Steward Hu.
Liu Xuan looked at it and was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said to Hongyuan: "Hongyuan, let's go back to Beiyuan quickly!" ”
Honglu collected her mind and wiped her tears, took the lantern in Liu Xuan's hand and led the way, but as soon as they walked out of the atrium, a female voice with a sneer came from behind the rockery in front: "What? Remembering that the people in your garden are here? I advise you not to go back, and you will only see corpses when you do. ”
Liu Xuan couldn't help but be full of grief and indignation when she heard that voice, and pronounced the person's name word by word: "She Huanxue!" ”
She Huanxue walked out from behind the rockery with a smile on her face, and she was followed by seven or eight black-clothed people who were also dressed in black, one of whom was carrying a corpse in his hand, and after walking out of the rockery, he threw it in front of Liu Xuan.
Liu Xuan looked at it fixedly, it was the driver who drove her all the way just now.
She Huanxue looked at Liu Xuan's angry appearance and chuckled: "How does my sister feel now?" ”
"You hate me, and if you want to kill me, you will come at me." Liu Xuan roared angrily at She Huanxue: "These maids and servants, what enmity do they have against you?!" ”
