Chapter 588: Disappointment Again
On the other side of the city, the fire had passed its peak and was slowly being extinguished.
Of course, this is all indispensable for the help of the surrounding neighbors and the soldiers who rushed over when they saw the fire.
But their firefighting behavior is really of little use, because the artisan family has all been buried in the fire.
From the first shouting for help, to the screams when burned, and finally dying of death, the whole process took less than ten minutes.
Fortunately, at this time, the fire has been controlled, and it will not burn too far, otherwise it will be a big problem.
After all, this is where the imperial mausoleum is located, even if Chen Xiaoting makes a meritorious contribution this time, he can't afford it.
Just when Chen Xiaoting was waiting for the people below to bring back the arsonist, it was the thousands of households here who rushed over first.
I saw that this person rushed over with an ugly face under the protection of dozens of soldiers, and seeing his dejected face, he must have just gotten up from the bed.
It's late at night, and it's the time to sleep soundly, and it's definitely not good to be forced to get up at this time.
But what is even more unpleasant than the bed gas is that there is a fire in the city, which can frighten Liu Danian.
This thing is small but small, but it can pierce the sky, which is really scary.
"What's going on, what's going on?" Liu Danian roared angrily, frightened everyone who was fighting the fire.
But in fact, when he came, he had already received a report that there was an uninvited guest in the city tonight.
So although he was asking, he led the person to the opposite side of Chen Xiaoting and stopped, and the anger in his eyes was almost erupting.
Being stared at by others, Chen Xiaoting also felt strange and uncomfortable, so he arched his hand and said: "This lord, we are Jinyiwei, and we are here to arrest the Qin criminal!" ”
"Arrest the prisoner? Just let you set fire to the city? Jinyiwei is so bold! Qianhu Liu Danian sneered.
"Do you know what this place is? Disturbed the previous emperors, can you afford to suffer the sin? ”
Being reprimanded by Liu Danian like this, Chen Xiaoting's face also became gloomy: "We don't dare to disturb the mausoleum of the first emperor, this fire is set by the Qin prisoner who wants to be arrested, and we have already sent someone to arrest it!" ”
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaoting walked forward slowly, came to Liu Danian, lowered his voice and said, "Also, since your lord knows that disturbing the emperor's tomb is a big crime, why do you still shout loudly?" ”
"Are you afraid that you can't make a big deal about it?"
Glancing at Liu Danian, Chen Xiaoting said coldly: "You must know that it is no good for anyone to make a big fuss, first of all, you have to bear the charge of ineffective guards!" ”
Chen Xiaoting's words are not a joke, if things really get bigger, it will not be good for both of them.
Liu Danian was a thousand-year-old household, and he was said by Chen Xiaoting with no temper, which made him feel even more angry.
But there is no way to get angry, because what Chen Xiaoting said is the truth, and it is not good for anyone to make a big fuss.
"This lord, tonight's incident is arson, you and I worked together to put out the fire, organized the spread of the fire in time, and did not disturb the mausoleum of the first emperor!"
"What do you think of that?" Chen Xiaoting stared at Liu Danian and said.
It can be said that he has been holding the initiative since he opened his mouth, so that Liu Danian has nothing to say at all.
This is the situation, so after Liu Danian snorted coldly, he led people to turn around and leave.
He didn't want to say a word to Chen Xiaoting, he already hated it to the point of itching his teeth.
But when he left, he also left people behind to help put out the fire.
As Chen Xiaoting said, the sooner this matter settles, the better, otherwise everyone will have to walk around without food.
After Liu Danian left, Jiao Furong on the side breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Lord Chen, your hand is really high!" ”
Although Jiao Furong slapped his beard, this compliment was absolutely sincere, and he was panicked by Liu Danian's question.
It's not that I'm afraid of Liu Danian, a thousand households, but I can't afford to bear the responsibility of disturbing the emperor's tomb.
But Chen Xiaoting was not happy, but said with a solemn face: "You say...... People won't fail to catch it! ”
Jiao Furong couldn't be relaxed at this time, now it was his subordinates who were arresting people, and in the case of the superiority in numbers, he had to be responsible for losing his hand.
If Chen Xiaoting's heart is ruthless enough at that time, and Shen Yue helps him, he can even put all the blame on him.
Chen Xiaoting didn't know that he had been speculated by Jiao Furong's villain's heart.
Just when they were waiting and becoming more and more uneasy, Jiao Furong finally saw the familiar face of his confidant.
And looking at the man in black who was caught, the stone in Jiao Furong's heart completely landed, and the errand was completed.
Chen Xiaoting hurriedly rushed up, and before he got closer, he asked first, "Why did it take so long?" ”
The twentieth person arrested a person, and it was delayed for such a long time, Chen Xiaoting really doubted the ability of these brocade guards in the capital.
Hearing this reproachful tone, the little flag officer who led the team hurriedly explained: "Lord Hui, this person is very familiar with the terrain of the city, and the lowly rank chased him for several streets, and finally searched him out of a haystack!" ”
Familiar with the terrain? Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting was suspicious.
I saw him beckon, and the young man in black was brought forward, and at this time his face and forehead were bruised, and he was obviously beaten fat.
"Who are you?" Chen Xiaoting asked coldly.
I thought that this man would keep his mouth shut, but he cried and shouted, "Heroes, I ...... I'm not a murderer, don't look for the wrong person! ”
Good guy, Chen Xiaoting even kicked on his chest, making the young man scream "ah".
It's a pity that at this time, he was firmly fixed by the two captains on the left and right, and he didn't even have a place to hide, and this kick was estimated to break two ribs.
"On your side, who are you? Who sent you to set the fire? Chen Xiaoting's tone became more and more cold.
The young man dared to lie at this time, and immediately replied, "I am from this city, and I am wandering around the city tonight...... Found by a few men in black! ”
"They gave me twenty taels of silver, and told me to go to that house and set fire to ......"
"So you went?" Chen Xiaoting became more and more murderous.
"The villain was also blinded by lard, and those people were persecuted to death, so they were forced to do this evil thing!" The young man hurriedly defended himself.
"How many people are the ones who instructed you to kill? Where are they now? Chen Xiaoting asked.
Now is not the time to dispose of people, it is important to track down those few people in black.
"There are at least three of them, the villain met them on South Street, and after they instructed the villain, they also said that they would spy on the villain, and the villain didn't know where they were hiding!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting's heart was half cold.
In other words, his judgment was correct, and those people must have been hiding in the surrounding area when they set the fire.
What he never expected was that the person who was sent to prevent fire was actually found temporarily.
That is, here the clue is broken again.
"Bastard!"
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, Chen Xiaoting slapped him out, and knocked out two of the young man's front teeth.
"Go find someone, identify him, and see if what this person says is true or false!" Chen Xiaoting gritted his teeth and said.
Immediately, a lieutenant went to do this, and after a while, the identity of this person was verified, and this person was indeed one of the few splashes in the city.
"God, are you going to play me to death?" Chen Xiaoting scolded in his heart.
