Chapter 149: The Jade Pendant Left Behind
A fire suddenly broke out in one of the courtyards of the inn.
The boss went crazy and took the lead in rushing into the fire to put out the fire.
The guys at the inn were also anxious, and if the inn burned down, they would lose their jobs.
Also participating in the firefighting were guests of the inn.
Fire and water are merciless.
People are used to helping someone when someone is in the middle of a fire, so the innkeepers all spontaneously took action to help put out the fire.
Only Ye Youhuan is an exception.
He put the fire, but he didn't help and didn't say anything, but even came over to watch the fun.
When his wife saw Ye Youhuan, who was beautiful and wandering, she scolded angrily: "Did you put the fire? ”
"Of course not." Ye Youhuan lied and didn't blink his eyes.
"Then why don't you help." The boss asked.
"What if you don't help?" Ye Youhuan frowned, he didn't like the boss's attitude.
Even, he thought in his heart: "If this person speaks disrespectfully, I will burn his yard a few more times." ”
Fortunately, the boss didn't entangle anymore, he stared at Ye Youhuan coldly, and went to extinguish the fire again.
By this time, the fire had been brought under control thanks to the efforts of everyone.
To say that it is to control it is to control its spread and not let it burn elsewhere.
As for the yard that caught fire, it definitely couldn't be saved.
Ye Youhuan looked at it for a while and felt uninterested, so he walked back.
When he went back, he found that people were gathered at the gate of the courtyard, because the courtyard next door was on fire, and there was thick smoke blowing in this direction, so everyone came out.
"General, let's change the inn."
Yang Xie took out all the salutes with the people, originally because he was afraid that the fire would affect them, but now he just left here.
Ye Youhuan turned her head to look at Shen Jingyun, she lowered her head, her eyes looked at the ground in a daze, she looked lifeless, like a soulless puppet.
"Okay, let's change the inn." Ye Youhuan said.
"Then I'll go and get the money back." Yang Xie said.
"Not necessarily." Ye Youhuan shook his head and took the lead in leaving.
"......" Yang Xie didn't say anything, but from the look in his eyes, he was not satisfied with Ye Youhuan's habit of being lavish.
Ye Youhuan saw Yang Xie's thoughts, and whispered: "I set this fire." ”
Yang Xie's body shuddered after hearing this, and he didn't want to pay for the house anymore, so he urged: "Then let's leave quickly." ”
"Hmm!"
The county seat is not large, and the inns where the main accommodation is concentrated are concentrated at the city gate.
It didn't take much effort for everyone to find an inn to rest again.
Ye Youhuan originally wanted to talk to Shen Jingyun, but Shen Jingyun just wanted to be quiet alone.
"Big cousin, next time you have such a fun thing, you must call me as soon as possible!" Zhong Ling was a little dissatisfied with Ye Youhuan.
"Got it!" Ye Youhuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
However, he was very glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't bring Zhong Ling.
Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to tease Shen Jingyun.
was too intimate with Amy before, and had been warned by Zhong Ling.
Ye Youhuan was by Zhong Ling's side, and he didn't dare to be serious anymore.
I went back to my room to rest and didn't say anything all night.
When she woke up the next day, Ye Youhuan found that there was a commotion outside.
It seems that Yang Xie is arguing with someone.
Ye Youhuan felt strange, and after getting dressed, he went out to check, and saw that there were many officials in the courtyard he rented.
Yang Xie was negotiating with these officials, and he didn't seem to be very happy.
"Get out of the way and don't get in the way of our law enforcement." The official warned.
"My lord hasn't woken up yet, you can stand here and wait." Yang Xie didn't see Ye Youhuan behind him, and didn't want the official to disturb Ye Youhuan's rest.
What kind of thing is the master of your family, dare to let a few officials wait here.
The familiar voice reached Ye Youhuan's ears, Ye Youhuan looked over and found that this person he had seen was the owner of the inn that caught fire last night.
When he was fighting the fire yesterday, he also had a quarrel with Ye Youhuan.
"I shouldn't have left any evidence?" Ye Youhuan recalled whether he had accidentally left any evidence in the first place, so the boss brought an official messenger to arrest him.
Several officials were impatient and said, "Arrest all these people who hinder the handling of the case and bring them to the government." ”
"Wait-" Ye Youhuan walked out and said, "What can be clearly explained here, although we are from Yan Kingdom, we have always been honest and law-abiding in Jingguo, I don't know why some officials came to us." ”
"We were told that an arsonist was hiding here."
"That's him!" The shopkeeper of the inn pointed at Ye Youhuan and said, "This person burned my yard." ”
Hearing that Ye Youhuan was the person concerned, these officials became vigilant and put their hands on their weapons.
After all, there were still a lot of corpses in the fire last night.
As you can imagine, the person who set the fire last night must have been a vicious murderer.
Compared with the official errand, Ye Youhuan behaved very calmly.
He asked unhurriedly, "I said that I set the fire, what evidence do you have?" ”
"When it caught fire last night, you just watched and didn't put out the fire, right?" The innkeeper asked.
"That's right." Ye Youhuan said: "I have been afraid of flames since I was a child, so I didn't rush to put out the fire. ”
"And how do you explain this?" The boss suddenly took out a jade pendant from his arms.
"How do you explain that?" Ye Youhuan didn't understand what the innkeeper meant.
"This is the jade pendant on your body, why did I find it in the burning yard?" The innkeeper asked.
"When have I ever had this kind of jade pendant." Ye Youhuan was surprised.
"Stop quibbling." The innkeeper said: "I saw you wearing this jade pendant with my own eyes, it must have been left in the fire after you killed people and set it on fire." ”
"You're being framed."
Ye Youhuan was incredulous.
He set the fire that he killed last night, but he didn't have any jade pendants left at the scene.
The owner of this inn is trying to frame Ye Youhuan.
Fortunately, Ye Youhuan was not afraid of him.
If it is replaced by an innocent ordinary person, wouldn't it be to cry out and go to prison?
"Whether it's a false accusation or not, let's go to the court and say it." The innkeeper is confident that Ye Youhuan will go to jail and compensate for his losses.
He didn't know who had planted the fire.
If you want to frame Ye Youhuan, you actually see that Ye Youhuan is not a native and must have no backers, so it is better to frame them to compensate for the losses in the fire.
And Ye Youhuan's attitude of staying out of the way when he was fighting the fire last night also made the innkeeper hate him.
He also wanted to teach Ye Youhuan a good lesson.
"Rack this guy." The leading officer instructed his companions with handcuffs and chains.
Ye Youhuan had a cold face, thinking about countermeasures, how to clear his suspicion.
"Wait—"
Shen Jingyun's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
Zhong Ling hugged Shen Jingyun and walked into the courtyard.
They were also followed by a servant with a chair, and put the chair in the courtyard, and Zhong Ling helped Shen Jingyun to sit on it.
