Although the fire has long been extinguished and the bodies have been moved elsewhere, walking among the ruins and ruins is still unsettling. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEspecially for people like Yang Zhen who are very familiar with this place, it is not a taste to look at everything broken here.

Fire was an important reason for the rise of man, it brought light, helped man to drive out terrible beasts, and allowed man to enjoy cooked food. But at the same time, it also brings disaster and destruction, and can destroy everything that was originally beautiful overnight. In an era when almost all buildings were made of trees, fire was a terrible thing.

Seeing that the shops that used to pass by every day were all collapsed and scorched, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh. Jing Zhankun, who came with him, also understood his thoughts, and sighed with him: "It's really miserable, a fire destroyed all the wealth and prosperity on this street......

"yes. Perhaps the street will soon be rebuilt and shops will reopen, but the dead will never be alive again, and the grief in the hearts of their loved ones will always be there. Yang Zhen sighed with emotion, which attracted Jing Zhankun's sideways: "This Yang Zhen is obviously a martial artist, but how can he be so delicate?" ”

Fortunately, Yang Zhen is not the kind of person who will always be immersed in a sad atmosphere, and after being sad, his gaze became resolute again: "Because of this, we must find out the truth, give justice to the deceased and their relatives, and let the wrongdoers receive the punishment they deserve!" After a pause, he glanced at Jing Tuiguan, who was obviously unable to keep up with his rhythm: "Brother Jing, you have also inspected the scene here a few times, I don't know where the fire started is?" ”

"This ......" Jing Zhankun smiled bitterly hesitantly: "This fire is too violent, although the lower officials have carefully investigated, they have not been able to accurately find the place where the fire started, and they can only guess three possible places where the fire started with experience." ”

"Oh? But what are the three places? Yang Zhen hurriedly asked. This was his first task today, and only by finding out where the fire originated could he use it as a starting point to find possible clues. Although the other party immediately pointed out that there were three suspicious points, it may be possible to find the correct location.

"One is a vacant house on the left side of the street, where no one lives, but it burns so violently that something seems to be wrong." Jing Zhankun said, leading Yang Zhen to the location he said, where it was naturally impossible to tell whether it was a house or a shop, only a few broken and dark walls, but Yang Zhen could still remember its original appearance through memory.

It was indeed a small house that had been empty for a long time, perhaps because some merchant or common man had not sold it after finding another place to live. But after only a few glances, Yang Zhen shook his head and denied his inference: "No, this is not the place where the fire started." ”

"Oh? How so? Jing Zhan Kunqi said, not understanding why Yang Zhen was so sure.

"Because when the fire is on fire, it will be on this chessboard street!" Yang Zhen finally took out his biggest chip: "I saw that the fire came from the middle of the chessboard street, but this room was a little behind. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Jing Zhankun was stunned for a moment, and then his heart was happy, if Yang Zhen was one of the people involved in this fire, then this investigation would be much simpler.

You must know that the quality of the people in this era is far from being comparable with later generations, even if they are the people of the capital, they are average. And when a major disaster is encountered, even the memory of future generations will be biased, not to mention the suffering people at this time.

Jing Zhankun didn't ask the people about this situation before, but they either just cried blindly or contradicted themselves, which made them very distressed, so they could only choose three possible ignition points through their own experience. But Yang Zhen is different, just looking at what he has done in the past, you can get the quality that he will inevitably be in danger.

After rejoicing, Jing Zhankun thought of another layer, and hurriedly collected the color of joy, and said with concern: "Has Yang Baihu been injured by this?" "When you hear that someone is also a victim of the fire, it is really not appropriate for you to look happy.

Yang Zhen didn't blame the other party's first reaction, which just shows that Jing Tuiguan is a person who pays more attention to official affairs, and it is more successful to investigate the case with such a person. Seeing him ask, he said, "The lower place is not far from the corner of the street, so this fire is together, so I quickly fled without any injury." It's just that seeing those people trapped in the fire and I can't help them, I don't feel good in my heart. So this time, I want to find out the cause of the fire and appease the dead and myself. ”

In fact, Yang Baihu doesn't have to feel guilty because of this. It is human nature to protect oneself in the face of such calamities. What's more, you are an official of the imperial court, and your status is too high compared to ordinary people, so it is really not appropriate to take risks for them. Jing Zhankun persuaded again. In today's era of extremely clear hierarchies, his statement is the consensus of everyone, if a scholar loses his life because of saving some untouchable miscellaneous servants, the mainstream opinion will not say why he is righteous and brave, but more will only be unworthy.

For such values, although Yang Zhen may not agree with it, he doesn't want to refute it, just smiled faintly and let it pass. Then he said: "Please also ask Brother Jing to point out the other two fires!" ”

"Oh!" Jing Zhankun remembered their business at this time, and hurriedly led his hand and said: "Since Yang Baihu must have started the fire in the middle of the chessboard street, then Xia Guan thought that it was very likely that a fire was ignited." With that, he took Yang Zhen straight towards his destination.

Before they arrived at the ground, they saw seven men in strong suits coming from the opposite side, and as soon as the seven people saw Yang Zhen, they were stunned, and then greeted them with a smile: "I've seen a hundred households!" Baihu, you're really here! "These people are Yang Zhen's old subordinates Mo Chong and others.

Yang Zhen had also thought about how to find a few of them before. Liu Shouyou said that the seven of them returned to Yang Zhen's command, but because Qipan Street had been destroyed, even their small courtyard that was used as a hundred households was burned down, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to find them again. He was going to stay here, so he went to the Zhenfu Division to find someone to find a way, but these people actually found it themselves.

Seeing these seven people, Yang Zhen also smiled: "Your mind is a lot more flexible than before, you actually thought of coming here to find me." ”

"Hey, I've been with Baihu for so long, although we haven't grown, we also know that Baihu is a practical person. Since I have taken over this case, I will definitely come to Qipan Street as soon as possible, so I found it. Mo Chong also explained with a smile, and by the way, he also flattered Yang Zhen.

"You, you've learned to speak so well in the past few days." Yang Zhen shook his head with a smile, and then remembered that Jing Zhankun was still following him, so he introduced it to them.

As soon as they heard the identity of this person, Mo Chong's expression became a little unkind: "You are the Jing Tui official who brought the hundred households into the government that day?" Our brother has wanted to meet you for a long time! ”

Jing Zhankun's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Everyone, the original incident was indeed selfish, I ...... it."

Seeing that he, a six-rank promoter, actually lowered his body to admit his mistake like this, Yang Zhen also felt a little eye-catching when he watched from the sidelines, so he coughed and interrupted him: "Brother Jing doesn't have to take it seriously, my brothers are just joking with you." In fact, you are just doing business on the day, so why bother? As he spoke, he glanced at Mo Chong and told them to stop.

Huang Bang was still more shrewd, and immediately understood the reason why Yang Zhen made such a statement. Now everyone's top priority is to investigate the case, and it is obvious that this Jing Tui official is an assistant that Yang Zhen attaches great importance to, so he hurriedly started the round and said: "Lord Jing, please forgive me, we are all rough people, so we are rude to speak." Since even hundreds of households say that you are right, we naturally don't blame you. As he spoke, he threw his hand at him, which was an apology.

Jing Zhankun didn't dare to say in his mouth, but he had a little more good feelings and gratitude for Yang Zhen in his heart. If he hadn't said it in time, I'm afraid he would probably have to be blamed.

Yang Zhen saw that this matter had been revealed, so he brought the topic back to the matter in front of him: "Please also ask Brother Jing to take us to the possible fire point, this is the most important thing at the moment." ”

"Oh, yes, yes. Please also ask Yang Baihu and a few others to come with me. Jing Zhankun hurriedly agreed, and continued to lead them forward, and after a while, he came to the wreckage of a building that looked taller and larger than other places even if it was burned: "If what you said Yang Baihu is right, this is the point of fire." ”

"Huh?" Yang Zhen stood in this familiar position, looking at the ruins that had long been people, and his brows furrowed unconsciously. And several Jinyi Wei's subordinates around him also had different faces at the moment, of course, what they thought in their hearts was completely different from Yang Zhen.

Jing Zhankun saw that several people were a little different, so he asked tentatively: "Yang Baihu, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yang Zhen recalled what he saw that night, although it was very chaotic at that time, but roughly thinking about it, it was indeed at this point when the fire started. After confirming, Cai Zhengse said: "Does Brother Jing know where this is?" ”

"This ......" Jing Zhankun showed embarrassment again: "This is a restaurant, called Food for the Sky." "That's where I took you down that day, and he only thought about the second half of the sentence in his heart.

But Yang Zhen's mind was not at all on the previous matter, but his expression became extremely grim: "This is the food for the sky." If the fire did start here, then it was very likely that someone had set it on purpose, as I had expected! ”

In a word, the number of people present was stunned, especially Mo Chong's seven people, and their expressions were even tighter......
