Chapter 267: Something Goes Wrong, Trace the Culprit
The east showed the whiteness of the fish's belly, and the heavy snow fell all night, and finally stopped at dawn.
It was freezing, and everyone was already numb from the cold, as cold as in an ice cellar.
The fire had been extinguished, and everyone ran into the courtyard and to their rooms to get some clothes or sleep.
The courtyard was filled with ankle-sinking water, which was caused by the introduction of water from the Yao Pond to extinguish the fire.
Everyone stepped on the waterlogged snow, freezing and shivering.
Fortunately, the fire only destroyed the kitchen and the room close to the kitchen, the hairball and the duanmu Yingying.
Hua Weiyang ran back to his room, quickly put on his clothes, and hurriedly ran out to check the place destroyed by the fire.
Duanmu Yingying ran to Fanfan's room and continued to lie on the bed with Fanfan and fell asleep.
Yan Wan also closed the door and hid in her room to catch up on sleep.
The furball room was burned down, and there was no change in clothes.
He asked Jingyang Shenjun for a few sets of robes, and wrapped them on his body to keep warm first.
At this time, the guards who were resting in the Duanmu Fusu Mansion ran over when they heard the news.
They saw the traces of the raging fire in front of them, and the water all over the ground, and they were stunned.
After these people reacted, they all started to help clean up the burned place.
Today's fire is very strange.
Duanmu Fusu, Jingyang Shenjun, Maoqiu, and Baili Lechuan all had solemn faces and came to the hall.
Hua Weiyang felt that his nose was sore, his whole body was cold, and he sneezed several times in a row.
Baili Lechuan took off the big coat on his body, carefully draped it on her shoulders, and asked worriedly:
"Are you alright? Is it cold? ”
"Otherwise, you can go back to your room to catch up on sleep, and we'll talk about it after dawn."
Hua Weiyang shook her head, where can she still sleep now?
She stared at the few rooms that were still smoking, her face sad and regretful.
The Flower Mansion was specially built for her.
She is reluctant to throw away every flower, grass, brick and tile here.
What's more, the fire destroyed several houses?
Hua Weiyang had a bitter face and said sadly:
"Brother Lethe, the kitchen is gone."
"Furball and Yingying's room also burned down."
"You built this house for me, and it hurts to burn it."
Baili Lechuan held her hand and comforted her softly:
"If the house is gone, we can build it again, so we don't have to worry."
"As long as the person is okay."
Furball scratched his head, looked at the blackened room, and muttered:
"Why is the room of a few of you all fine, but you just burned down my room and Yingying's room?"
"It's so unfair, where will I sleep in the future?"
The hairball was successfully transformed in his room, and there was an inexplicable sense of intimacy with that room.
The hairball suddenly had a little flesh pain.
Duanmu Fusu clapped his hands, summoned a leader of the guards, and ordered:
"You're in charge of arranging for some people to rebuild the burned area as quickly as possible."
"Try to build as luxurious as possible, and don't have to worry about the cost."
The leader of the guards looked at the burned place, his eyes were astonished, and he replied respectfully:
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
As long as you have money, you can do anything.
Duanmu Fusu stared at the departing leader of the guards, and his heart was a little relieved.
He saw Hua Weiyang's sad face and comforted:
"Fortunately, the burned area is not big, and it won't take a few days to rebuild, so just be patient and wait."
Furball sneezed loudly, sniffed, and muttered dissatisfiedly:
"But where am I sleeping these days? Brother Jingyang, how many days will I sleep with you? ”
Jingyang Shenjun glanced at the hairball, shook the fan and joked:
"I'm a light sleeper, you don't fart and grind your teeth when you sleep, right?"
When the hairball heard this, he was immediately unhappy, and hummed with a frown:
"You only fart and grind your teeth and snoring when you sleep, forget it, I can still squeeze it with Brother Fusu."
Duanmu Fusu looked at the hairball and immediately objected:
"You're taller than me, you slept in the bed, where did I sleep?"
"It's not impossible to sleep with me, I sleep in the bed, and you sleep on the ground."
Furball was depressed, scratching his head frantically, his face full of displeasure.
Anyway, his hairball is also Duanmu Fusu's future brother-in-law, right?
How can he be so stingy?
Hua Weiyang hurriedly patted Maoqiu's shoulder and comforted:
"There are still a few vacant rooms, I'll help you clean them up."
"Besides, if it's not night, you can sleep in his room first."
"By the time he returns, the burned room will have been rebuilt."
Speaking of the night, Hua Weiyang couldn't help but sigh again.
The night seemed to have vanished into thin air, and had not been seen since the last time it disappeared.
Where the hell did he go?
Nothing really happened, could it?
The furball clapped his hands happily, and said with his eyebrows fluttering:
"yes, why didn't I think of that? Then I'll sleep in the dark room first, and I won't squeeze with you. ”
"I'm afraid you'll sleep, fart, grind your teeth, snore, and talk in your sleep."
At this time, everyone tossed all night, frightened, suffering from cold storms and snow, and they were all a little sluggish.
Seeing that everyone was not in good spirits, Baili Lechuan muttered:
"The fire is a bit strange, and I suspect it was arson."
Hua Weiyang nodded, and said suspiciously: "Who might have done it?" "
Duanmu Fusu looked at a few places, the burned black walls, frowned and said:
"I'll ask the guards who kept vigil last night."
Baili Lechuan nodded, always feeling that things were not so simple.
The guards who were keeping vigil last night looked frightened, and with a "poof", they knelt down in front of Duanmu Fusu, trembling.
Duanmu Fusu stared at him coldly and asked in a deep voice:
"Didn't you guard the Flower Mansion last night? You don't know why the fire is burning? What did you do? ”
The guard was so frightened that his face turned earthy, and he lay on the ground and shivered, and said in a trembling manner:
"Tell the eighth prince, the little one was originally guarding the flower mansion at night, standing in the ear room and shivering, but then for some reason, he actually fell asleep."
"By the time the little one woke up, the fire had already ignited the kitchen and was starting to burn."
Duanmu Fusu's face changed, his eyes were sharp, and he asked sharply:
"Didn't you take a look at the kitchen last night? Is it due to dereliction of duty? ”
The guards trembled with fright, and their faces turned white with fright.
He lay on the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy:
"The eighth prince spares his life, and the eighth prince spares his life."
"I went to the kitchen last night and boiled a pot of hot water myself."
"At that time, the little one was worried that the fire in the furnace would burn the firewood stored around, so he deliberately moved the firewood to a far corner of the wall."
"It stands to reason that such a distance is not a firewood."
"Who would have thought that Mars would splash so far away?"
Duanmu Fusu was condescending, staring at the guards coldly, his eyes were cold, and the guards were so frightened that they almost fainted.
Dereliction of duty is a capital offense.
The guard felt this grievance in his heart, he felt that he was really wronged!
Duanmu Fusu snorted coldly and asked:
"Shouldn't you collude with the Ten Princes and want to murder this king?"
When everyone heard Duanmu Fusu's words, they were suddenly startled, and their faces turned pale.
If this charge is confirmed, the guards will not only be beheaded, but may also be beheaded.
Who can afford this?
The guard was so frightened that he lay on the ground, hugged Duanmu Fusu's legs, and cried bitterly:
"The little one is loyal to the Eighth Prince, how can he do something sorry for the Eighth Prince?"
"Last night was indeed a small dereliction of duty, and he shouldn't have slept over, and the little one was willing to go bankrupt to compensate."
"The small ones are old, and the ones are small, and I ask the eighth prince to spare his life!"
The guards wept so much that it was unbearable to watch.
Hua Weiyang looked at the guards sympathetically, lying on the ground, trembling.
This guard Hua Weiyang also knows each other.
He usually guards the gate of Huafu, is dedicated to his duties, and is kind, and he doesn't look like a person who betrays his master.
If he is really asked to compensate, it is estimated that he will be bankrupt, and he will not be able to compensate.
Hua Weiyang looked at the guard pitiful, frowned slightly, and persuaded:
"This big brother usually treats people well, so he shouldn't do anything to be sorry for us."
"Brother Fusu, you will bypass him and give him another chance to mend his ways."
Duanmu Fusu nodded and said coldly:
"For the sake of Miss Weiyang, this king will spare your life."
"If you let this king know in the future that you have done something sorry for this king, this king will never spare it, get out!"
The guards thanked them so much that they crawled and wiped their tears.
I have to say that Duanmu Fusu is a high authority in the end, and he has a very good set of management subordinates.
He not only sold Hua Weiyang a face, but also made the guards obedient, obedient and additional.
Everyone admired his methods.
Hua Weiyang suddenly remembered that Fu Xiqin was still sealed in the room of the hairball, would it be burned by the fire?
However, she set up a protective barrier outside Fu Xiqin, and it should be fine.
She secretly hoped that Fu Xiqin would not be destroyed by the fire.
Hua Weiyang was anxious, stood up suddenly, and said with a small face:
"It's over, Fu Xiqin is still in the hairball room, I'm worried that something will happen."
Baili Lechuan chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.
They were in a hurry, how could they forget Fu Xiqin?
In case of......
Hua Weiyang and Baili Lechuan exchanged a puzzled look, and the two of them rushed towards the direction of the hairball room together.
When everyone heard this, they were also worried, and they all followed curiously to see what was going on.
They rushed to the hairball room and stood outside to see that the hairball's room had already been burned to the ground, the walls were empty, the roof had collapsed, and there were traces of smoke and fire everywhere, where was there still the shadow of Fu Xiqin?
Don't talk about Fuxiqin, even Fuxiqin slag is not left.
Hua Weiyang blinked her beautiful eyes, and was suddenly a little dumbfounded:
"Where's my Fuxiqin?"
"What about the Fuxiqin that the master left me? I set up an enchantment. ”
Baili Lechuan looked at the place where Fu Xiqin was placed, it was empty, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
He frowned and said slowly:
"We may all have been deceived by the fire."
"The other party set this fire, and the target is Fu Xiqin."
"When we were busy fighting the fire, the other party had already stolen Fu Xiqin."
Duanmu Fusu glanced at the location where Fu Xiqin was placed, and asked hesitantly:
"Could it be that the guards stole it out and sold it?"
Hua Weiyang looked frustrated, and immediately denied:
"Impossible, although the enchantment I set up is not top-notch, ordinary people can't open it at all."
"Unless ......"
Baili Lechuan's face turned cold, and he said lightly:
"Unless, the other party is also a person who cultivates immortals, or a person with strong mana."
Jingyang Shenjun knocked on the ink peach blossom fan, and sneered:
"I didn't expect it, we were also calculated when we sleep, interesting, so interesting."
"Living in such a corner is also life-threatening?"
"I'd love to know, who's behind it?"
Duanmu Fusu is not calm now.
He thought about it carefully, gritted his teeth and said:
"I suspect that this incident was done by Duanmu Xingchen."
"A few days ago, he came to pick quarrels and provoke trouble, asking for sky-high compensation, but he was not only beaten into a pig's head by a hairball, but also made yellow by me."
"This time, he's definitely here to retaliate."
"You see, he set the kitchen on fire and burned down the furball's room."
"He didn't do this, who else could have done it?"
"Mean, just too mean."
Hua Weiyang thought of the lost Fu Xiqin, and was sad and angry.
This Fuxi qin is the most valuable wealth and priceless treasure left to her by Emperor Fusang, and no amount of silver can buy it.
She lost it......
How could she be embarrassed?
Hua Weiyang couldn't help but feel a pain in her flesh, her pretty face was wrinkled, she knew that she would just take Fu Xiqin away.
It's a pity that it's too late to regret it.
Jingyang Shenjun thought for a moment and asked hesitantly:
"Weiyang, Fu Xiqin is an ancient artifact, with the ability to destroy the heavens and the earth."
"If someone steals it, it won't be used to do bad things, right?"
If this Fuxi qin is used in war, it will be played with countless casualties, and it can be called a killing machine.
Baili Lechuan glanced at Jingyang Shenjun, shook his head and said:
"Although Fu Xiqin is an ancient artifact, not everyone can control it."
"Only when the immortal power reaches a fairly high level can you play the Fuxi Qin, otherwise, it will make the Fuxi Qin back."
Everyone was gossiping, and the sky was already bright.
Everyone discussed for a moment, but they couldn't come up with a reason.
Seeing Hua Weiyang's depressed and sullen face, Baili Lechuan held her hand and comforted:
"Tonight, I'll go to the residence of the Ten Princes first."
"If he really stole it, let's get it back. Don't be in a hurry. ”
Hua Weiyang nodded and said sullenly:
"Okay, I'll go with you then."
Hairball hurriedly said:
"I'll go too, this guy is really impatient, and he dares to calculate Lao Tzu."
"Lao Tzu has to beat him into a pig's head again."
