The thirteen people exuded the smell of wine, waving the wine glasses in their hands to their heart's content, venting the pleasure in their chests to the fullest, and their words were sonorous without scruples. At this time, some of them got carried away, not realizing at all that a crisis was gradually approaching.

The debauchery of the thirteen people, the unscrupulous drinking noise, made this crisis more and more intense. At some point, it will be devastating for them, leaving them completely in the midst of a catastrophe.

Within a few days, gradually, a piece of news circulated in the streets and alleys of Jinhua Mansion, which was wrapped in the momentum of a prairie fire, and was quickly known and hotly discussed by the people of the city. The moment they heard the news, the crowd was excited, and everyone was full of indignation and righteous indignation.

"Did you hear that? The thirteen fires of the other day were not natural disasters, but man-made disasters, and some people deliberately set fires. ”

"I've heard it, I've heard it, and now who doesn't know? Moreover, it is said that the matter also involves Yang Lin, a great benevolent person. It is rumored that some people in his clan want to rob his family's property and look at his family's business, so there is this fire, and a fire burns down their family's warehouse. Therefore, it has affected the people around it."

"This is quite reasonable, remember some time ago someone raised prices and hoarded goods? The storage warehouses that were burned down by this fire are those hoarded goods such as silk weaving, tea, and tobacco that cannot be mass-produced in the short term, and can only be purchased from those hoarders, otherwise they will not be able to do business! ”

"That's right, don't forget the Yang family's Splendid Villa, which is dedicated to the royal family, and you can't delay it, otherwise the consequences will be serious~~"

The more the tea is tasted, the more the words are spoken, the clearer the reasoning becomes, and the more the discussion is spread, the more true it is, as if someone has seen the whole incident with their own eyes.

If anyone is paying attention, the news spreads too fast. Nuoda's Jinhua Mansion, in one morning, almost everyone knows about it, revealing strangeness everywhere, hiding a giant hand, promoting the spread of news.

It's far from that, it's not over yet, and it's not as simple as talking about it all over the city.

Funded by Yang Lin's donation, and also victims, when they heard this rumor, they went crazy and were completely angry.

The proverb is so conclusive and the description is well-founded that it is hard not to believe it? Therefore, whether it was the people affected by the disaster or the indignant others, they flocked to the door of the prefect's yamen with rare tacit understanding, shouting: "Catch the arsonist and find out the murderer who destroyed our homeland!" ”

Hong Antong walked restlessly in the back office, upset. He can turn a blind eye to the victims outside, and he can turn a deaf ear to his shouts. However, in the face of the commissioner's criticism and urging the matter, it was impossible to turn a deaf ear and ignore it.

At noon, Hong Antong was restless lying on the couch, and the woman on the side was skillful, beating Hong Antong's back and kneading, and suddenly massaging her limbs, hoping to relieve her husband's fatigue, so as to share some sorrows, what can be done.

"Alas~" With a long sigh, Hong Antong didn't have the slightest mood to enjoy his wife's service and thoughtfulness. His heart was full of restlessness, as if there was a fire burning in his body, making it difficult for him to calm down.

Seeing that no matter what means she used, Hong Antong still looked worried, and couldn't get rid of that state for a while, so she couldn't help but say gently and understandingly: "Husband, are you still worried about the fire?" ”

"Yes, these days, every day is a fire thing, and I'm almost overwhelmed. The pressure from above is getting tighter and tighter, the people's grievances are boiling more and more, and all kinds of gossip are emerging in endlessly. Moreover, not long after the new emperor ascended the throne, he just wanted to use people to show his imperial prestige, do you think I can not be worried? ”

"Master, have you heard the rumors on the street, the rumors are divine, just like the truth."

"Why haven't you heard of it? Actually, I also think that those are not rumors, and they are very credible. But I don't have any evidence in my hand, so I can't be arrested based on rumors, right? Moreover, there is also a commissioner here, which is inconvenient to act. ”

"Master, how did you forget someone? He's a person in charge, and his many performances in recent days show that his head is quite bright, and it should be very useful to you. ”

"Who?!" Hong Antong stood up and looked at his wife tightly, his eyes wide.

"Master, you are really a fan of the authorities, who else can it be, it is that Yang Lin."

Hong Antong's eyes lit up instantly, and he immediately got out of bed, and while instructing his subordinates to invite Yang Lin over, he put on his official uniform, walked to the living room, and waited there.

Soon, Yang Lin came, sat opposite Hong Antong, and asked, "My lord, I don't know what you're looking for?" ”

Hong Antong was already in a hurry, how could he still be in the mood to grind with Yang Lin, and said directly: "Young Master Yang, it is very simple for this official to come to you, just for the fire." I believe you have also heard about the discussions and rumors in the streets and alleys, and I think that those discussions in the streets and alleys have a high degree of credibility. ”

"Oh, since the adults have eyebrows, I don't know what the adults mean by calling me here? What are the commands? ”

"Brother Yang, that's right. Those arguments are just the word of mouth of others, and there is no evidence to carry them on. No, I came to you to discuss with you, hoping that you can help me solve this case and catch the murderer. ”

Then, Hong Antong's tone changed, and he promised very politely: "Brother Yang, if you can help me get through this difficulty and end this case, Hong will be grateful, and he will be rewarded in the future!" ”

"My lord, since you are quick to speak, then I will not procrastinate. To tell you the truth, I already have an eye on the fire a few days ago, but after all, I am not an official of the imperial court, and I have no right to arrest them, arrest them, punish them, and interrogate them. ”

Hearing this, Hong Antong, who was originally restless, immediately became excited, and said eagerly: "Brother Yang, what a big deal. Say it quickly, tell me everything you know, I'll do it, I'll try it, as long as it's determined who it is, and there is a little evidence, I'll call them ruthlessly, I'm not afraid that they won't recruit them, and they won't honestly hand over the mastermind behind it?! ”

For a while, the two hit it off, quickly discussed secretly, and began to discuss how to act?

After a careful and detailed discussion, Yang Lin secretly walked out of the yamen with more than a dozen servants, walked in casual clothes, and went straight to the various business shops at home.

The action was very fast and decisive, and in just one hour, these officials had already arrested twenty or thirty men, plus a few people in charge, all of whom were the henchmen of Yang Lin's clansmen who had left in the shop. As soon as these people were arrested and beaten, they were immediately tried by Hong Antong in court, and they were sentenced to serve them, and they did not dare to recruit them.

Soon, news came from the yamen that the thirteen fires a few days ago were indeed man-made, not natural disasters. Moreover, the government has caught a large number of accomplices and is trying to find the arsonist mastermind.

The news spread quickly, just one morning from the government office, the entire Jinhua Mansion knew about it, the streets and alleys were hotly discussed, and the whole city fell into shock again, and there was an uproar.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
