Lu Kai was worried about tomorrow's events, after all, whether to leave or stay was in the hands of Cheng Weilian, Lu Kai's face sank and said, "You can pretend to be drunk, but you can't pretend to go."

Zhang Zhongping suddenly said at this time, "Speaking of this, then I should also go back and clean up"

Lu Kai was stunned and said, "What is the big brother packing?" ”

Zhang Zhongping smiled, "I'll go to Southern Wei with you"

Lu Kaideng said happily: "You really want to go with me!" ”

Zhang Zhongping said helplessly, "I'm always a little afraid, it's so strange and messy in the Taishi Mansion, the Taishi is also drunk now, some things I don't understand, what will I understand after the wine, if I don't go, I'm afraid that I will settle accounts after the autumn"

Zhang Zhongping stared at Lu Kai and asked, "Are you going to Rende Hall when you leave the house?" ”

Lu Kai glanced at Zhang Zhongping in surprise, "Big brother, how do you know that I am going to Rende Hall?" ”

Zhang Zhongping said, "I'm not stupid, okay, the last time you went to Rendetang to borrow a toilet, I felt strange, can you still guess?" When I helped you back, I smelled the medicine on you."

"Medicinal smell?" Lu Kai thought for a moment and exclaimed on the spot: "It's not good! Cutout! ”

The cut painting also has a medicinal smell, Chang Yue has already smelled it, Lu Kai burned the medicine depot at that time and entered the medicine storehouse, the medicine depot has been smoked by medicinal materials all the year round, the smell of medicine is strong, and the clothes that people go in will definitely be smoked by the medicine incense.

The next person came to report, "Master, the fire drum was knocked on the door of Chongwen, and Rendetang was on fire"

Chang Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Rende Hall? ”

Chang Yue looked at the cut painting carefully, and said in his heart, "The cut painting has a medicinal fragrance, and Rende Hall just caught fire?" ”

Chang Yue suddenly sneered, and he didn't know if he thought of anything.

The next day, Chang Yue went to Rende Hall too early, and when the fire broke out last night, there were people watching from the periphery, and the people were already busy making a living when the sun came out, so how could they have the leisure to stop and watch.

Outside Rende Hall, there are people from Beishu hussars standing guard, Fang Wenhou is inside, Fang Wenhou came early in the morning when he heard that Rende Hall was on fire, the fire was pressed so quickly that it did not affect the neighboring houses, the medicine depot could not be saved, and the medicinal materials were burned to the core.

The guys were all squatting in the courtyard with gray faces, Fang Wenhou was standing outside the medicine storehouse, the door and window of the medicine store were destroyed, and the inside was a mess full of ash charcoal.

The owner of the medicine hall was distressed, how much money did it cost to fill the library of medicinal materials, the owner's face was pale and angry, and he complained to Fang Wenhou, "General, this fire must have been set by Tianji Hall!" They see that my business is booming, and the general wants to be the master of the small people."

This matter is not within the scope of Fang Wenhou's responsibility, he just came to see, after all, Rendetang is within the scope of Chongwenmen, and the King of Shu doesn't ask, if he wants to ask if he has been to the scene, he has a reason to answer.

Fang Wenhou said, "I can't control the arson case, it's not too late to say anything when the public arrests the adults."

Fang Wenhou turned around and went out, and just after he came out of the gate and saw Chang Yue's sedan chair, Fang Wenhou said in a strange heart, "Why is the Taishi here?" ”

Although he had doubts in his heart, he saw that Fang Wenhou hurriedly greeted him and said goodbye.

Chang Yue was originally going to get off the sedan chair, and when he heard Fang Wenhou asking for peace, he opened the curtain and said, "Have you investigated the scene?" ”

Fang Wenhou said truthfully, "The public arrest has not arrived, and after a cursory look, I heard from the owner of the medicine hall that it may be caused by the competition between peers."

What does it mean to compete with peers is the most clear, Chang Yue understood as soon as he heard it, "Follow me in and have a look"

Chang Yue entered the medicine hall and hurriedly bowed down, and Chang Yue said to the owner, "Get up and talk back"

The owner trembled and said "yes"

Chang Yue glanced at the owner, "You are the owner of the medicine hall?" ”

"Grass Folk Wu Rende"

Chang Yue didn't answer a word, and walked to the medicine warehouse with Fang Wenhou, and Wu Rende bowed behind him.

Chang Yue glanced at the medicine warehouse and asked Fang Wenhou, "Can you tell if it was man-made or accidental?" ”

Before Fang Wenhou could speak, Wu Rende hurriedly said on the spot, "It's man-made, it must have been done by someone from Tianji Hall!" ”

Chang Yue glanced at Wu Rende and said, "If there is no evidence, it is a random planting"

Wu Rende knelt down in fear, "Taishi Mingjian, who else has the heart to burn my medicine storehouse, Rende Hall has been open to welcome guests for more than 20 years, and there has never been a fire, Taishi must be the master of the grass people"

Chang Yue was just about to open his mouth, and the public arrester stepped in with his toes high, and when he saw that Chang Yue was busy restraining his arrogance, he stepped forward with a sincere fear and asked An Dao to "see the Taishi in his humble position"

Chang Yue glanced at the public arrest and said sharply on the spot: "Do things so idlely!" Is this how Lord Xu does things for the people? ”

The public arrest is named Xu Anmin, Chang Yue scolded Xu Anmin on the spot and knelt down in fright, how could he have expected that Chang Yue would be at the scene of the fire, Xu Anmin hurriedly said in a cold sweat, "I don't dare to go out of the city yesterday to search for the hungry people, so I will return to the city later."

Chang Yue said: "There are hungry people outside the city? ”

Xu Anmin said "yes" truthfully

Chang Yue sighed and said, "Get up"

Xu Anmin got up.

Chang Yue said, "Check, no matter how big or small the matter is, you have to report to me afterwards"

"Yes, the lowly position will be found out as soon as possible"

Chang Yue glanced at Fang Wenhou and went out together.

The two of them came out of Rende Hall, Fang Wenhou really couldn't hold back his curiosity, and opened his mouth and said, "Taishi. . . ”

Fang Wenhou didn't speak, Chang Yue interjected, "You must be curious, why did I come?"

Of course, Fang Wenhou was curious, Chang Yue was definitely not a person who had the leisure to pay attention to the fire in Rende Hall, Fang Wenhou asked, "Taishi is busy with affairs, why do you care about the fire?" ”

Chang Yue walked to the sedan chair and said as he walked, one person is short, two people are long, some things can't think of a reason, so he simply scrutinized with Fang Wenhou, Chang Yue said, "I set up a private banquet for the envoy last night"

Fang Wenhou raised his eyebrows, knowing that Chang Yue would not talk about the festival envoy for no reason, as soon as he talked about the festival envoy, Fang Wenhou was very concerned, what does it have to do with the private banquet and the fire in Rende Hall, Fang Wenhou asked inexplicably, "Why did the Taishi mention the festival envoy?" ”

Chang Yue said the first thought in his heart, and Chang Yue said, "I vaguely feel in my heart that this matter is inseparable from the envoy."

Fang Wenhou was surprised and said, "Can't you get rid of it with the envoy?" Why is it suspicious that the envoy is not going to the house to attend the banquet? Could it be that the festival envoy can go to the banquet and burn the medicine storehouse at the same time? ”

Chang Yue frowned and said, "The envoy once disappeared for a while in the mansion when he vomited wine, let me ask you, can you go back and forth in half a pillar of incense?" ”

Half a pillar of incense back and forth between the Taishi Mansion and Rende Hall? Of course, Fang Wenhou had never done such a thing, Fang Wenhou estimated for a moment and said, "If you gallop on a horse, you won't need half a pillar of incense."

Chang Yue said, "If it's light?"

Fang Wenhou said, "If you exert it with all your might, it is estimated that it will be about half a pillar of incense."

After receiving Fang Wenhou's reply, Chang Yue asked, "So the envoy has time to do it?" ”

"But why?" Fang Wenhou asked rhetorically.

Chang Yue was also puzzled for a long time, "Yes, why?" Why did the envoy burn the Rende Hall, this is what I don't understand."

Fang Wenhou still had a doubt: "How can the Grand Master be sure that this matter is related to the envoy?" Even if the envoy leaves the house by vomiting wine, he will not necessarily come to Rendetang."

Of course, Chang Yue will not have no unfounded doubts, Chang Yue said, "It's a cut painting, and the envoy sent me to cut a painting after the banquet, and there is a faint medicinal fragrance on the cut painting."

Fang Wenhou nodded and said, "I see, but what do you do with burning a medicine storehouse?" Could it be that Wu Rende and the envoy had a festival? ”

Chang Yue shook his head and said, "It's not like"

Fang Wenhou smiled bitterly and said, "It's really unbelievable that the envoy does things, but no matter what he is doing, this is the last thing he can do in Bei'an."

Chang Yue understood what Fang Wenhou meant, "The King of Shu has set up a luncheon, and he has to leave after the banquet."

Lu Kai really has to go, he is still in the pawn office, seeing that it is getting closer and closer to noon, no one is more anxious than Lu Kai, the success or failure of this matter is all Cheng Weilian, and I don't know if Cheng Weilian can invite people out.

Zhang Zhongping was also in Lu Kai's house, Lu Kai's eyes were full of anxiety Zhang Zhongping saw it in his eyes, Zhang Zhongping said, "Since you have to go, don't think about it"

Lu Kai was very anxious and took a deep breath, he hadn't told Zhang Zhongping his true purpose, and he hadn't told Zhang Zhongping that he didn't trust him, but if he left the city, the matter would be over, and it didn't matter if he didn't tell Zhang Zhongping the truth.

But if Shangcang can stay, then Zhang Zhongping will be scared half to death after knowing the true purpose, Lu Kai can imagine Zhang Zhongping's reaction after knowing the truth, and Lu Kai forced himself to laugh.

As long as you can laugh, you can relieve your nervousness, Lu Kai smiled and said, "What the eldest brother said is, since you want to leave, what do you want?"

Zhang Zhongping suddenly had another idea at this time, and asked tentatively, "Brother Xian, I think you seem to be expecting something?" ”

Lu Kai opened his eyes and smiled, "Really?" ”

At this time, someone came from the palace, and the guards entered the house to report, and Lu Kai went out of the house and said, "Big brother is waiting for me at the city gate"

Zhang Zhongping nodded, the King of Shu is not Chang Yue, and the King of Shu does not take whoever he wants to take with him to the banquet.

Lu Kaizi, who came to the palace, couldn't delay, and he had to go out of the pawn office and enter the palace with people.
