292 Report to the Officer
When the official saw that he couldn't stop her, and knew that she was the head of the embroidery workshop, he felt a little sympathetic in his heart, so he didn't stop her.
However, in order to ensure her safety, an official was sent to follow her.
It doesn't matter if anyone follows Lin Meiyi or not, it won't affect her to explore the truth.
It was the beginning of autumn, the weather was not dry, the air was not dry, and she had checked all the doors and windows and blown out all the candles before leaving, so it was impossible for such a fire to break out in the embroidery workshop.
But this fire just came, and it also burned the embroidery workshop that she and Shopkeeper Qiu had worked so hard to build.
If this is a man-made ...... Lin Meiyi narrowed her eyes, her black eyes were full of murderous intent!
"Bang"!
As if something had been kicked under her feet, Lin Meiyi stopped, lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, and a smooth crockpot came into view.
What is it?
Lin Meiyi squatted down, and under the surprised gaze of the official behind her, she easily opened the charred wooden door with one hand.
A blackened but intact clay pot appeared under the wooden door, Lin Meiyi reached out and pulled it out, it was still hot, but she didn't care about it so much now, she picked it up and looked at it for a while, and felt even more puzzled.
This is the oil fill in the small kitchen, half a meter high, and it is a regular round belly open jar, which the people of the city like to use to hold oil.
In the end, it was still very hot, Lin Meiyi looked at it for a while and put the jar down.
She stood up and re-examined where she was, and found that the place where she was standing now was where the embroidery room was.
However, why does the oil tank in the small kitchen, which is 20 meters away from the embroidery room, appear here?
Lin Meiyi already suspected that the fire was a conspiracy, and the suspicion in her heart became stronger and stronger at this moment.
She turned to look at the official who was following behind her and asked him, "Brother official, can you please help me testify?" ”
The official looked at her suspiciously, and motioned for her to say first, he was considering it at his discretion.
Lin Meiyi pointed to the oil tank on the ground and said: "This is the oil tank in the kitchen, which is filled with melted lard on weekdays, but where we are standing now is the embroidery room of the embroidery workshop, the embroidery room is twenty miles away from the kitchen, if someone hadn't brought this oil tank to the embroidery room, this oil tank would not have appeared here." ”
"I remember yesterday afternoon, after everyone had dinner, the cook said that she had just boiled a jar of lard and put it in this jar."
"Brother Guancha!" Lin Meiyi raised her head and looked at each other with dark eyes, "I want to report to the official!" I suspect that this fire was deliberately retaliated by someone, deliberately set on fire! ”
Raise your finger and point to the blackened jar on the ground? The tone was sonorous and powerful, "And this is the evidence!" ”
"So please send me a testimony to prove that this jar was found here." Lin Meiyi added.
After the official heard her words? That's when I realized what I was going to do.
He looked at Lin Meiyi's serious gaze and felt that this was not a big deal? He nodded and gave assurance.
It's a trivial matter, but it's not enough to worry about it.
If this fire is really man-made, there will be trouble in the future.
But that's not his business, it's the catcher's business? Once they have extinguished the fire, they can go.
—————
"What are you doing when you come back with a jar?" Mo Qingcheng asked puzzled.
After the persuasion of Lin Youcai and his wife, his collapsed mood is much better now? Only then did I have the strength to observe Lin Meiyi's strange behavior.
Lin Meiyi put the jar down and let Mo Qingcheng's little servant look at it, and then said:
"The fire in the embroidery workshop is man-made, and this jar is the proof? What if you're almost recovered? Then let's go and report to the official. ”
"What?" Mo Qing Chengteng stood up? "Artificial? Are you saying that someone deliberately set fire to our shop!? ”
"That's right!" Lin Meiyi nodded heavily, "I was the last person to leave the embroidery workshop last night, I'm sure?" When I left, all the candles were blown out, and it was absolutely impossible to walk away by accident. ”
When Mo Qingcheng heard this, he naturally believed it, and he also felt that this fire came strangely, but he was upset just now, and he was not in the mood to investigate.
Now that Lin Meiyi said so, how could he stop there?
"His grandmother's! Let's go, take the evidence, and let's report to the official! I'm going to see which bastard burned down my shop! ”
Mo Qingcheng was angry in his heart, beckoned to the little guy, and the master and servant rushed towards the county government with the oil can.
"Hey, hey? Is this going? Why don't you go see the doctor first! Seeing that everyone was leaving, Liu shouted worriedly.
Lin Meiyi pulled the old lady back, "Mother, it's okay, don't worry about you and your father, I will inform you if there is something, you can go back first." ”
Such a big thing happened in the embroidery workshop, how could the couple go back with confidence?
Before Liu refused, Lin Youcai said: "That's not good, you young owners have gone to report to the official, and no one has cleaned up this mess yet, I and your mother will go back after cleaning up here." ”
"Why don't you go and have a look?" On the contrary, he was not worried about Mo Qingcheng, a hairy boy.
Lin Meiyi shook her head, "No, he can't do this thing, it's too useless." ”
"Let him take it first, I'll wait for the autumn shopkeeper to do it, such a big thing happened in the embroidery workshop, so I have to give an explanation to the big guy."
Lin Youcai thought about it, it seemed to be the same, and suddenly felt helpless, "Alas~, tell me what is going on, who have you offended the young owner?" The heart is not ordinary ruthless. ”
But talking about it, Lin Youcai also knows that now is not the time to talk about this.
Greeted his wife and two other men, and the four of them talked to the official messenger, and then went into the ruins to see if they could rescue something.
Lin Meiyi looked at it and found that there was no danger, so she withdrew her gaze and stood in a conspicuous place, waiting for Shopkeeper Qiu and others to find her.
Lu County is just a small county town, a small and big place, and it didn't take long for the whole city to know about it.
Shopkeeper Qiu hurried to hear the news, and when he saw the ruins in front of him, he was stunned for two minutes before he gradually accepted this fact.
The moment he accepted it, his emotions collapsed, and he hugged Lin Meiyi and cried.
The embroidery workshop has poured her life's work, and this kind of pain is completely unfelt by Lin Meiyi and Mo Qingcheng, who inserted it halfway.
Therefore, Lin Meiyi could only remain silent.
Because no matter what she says now, it looks pale.
Lin Meiyi patted the back of the shopkeeper Qiu, and thought that if the wedding dress she had worked so hard to make was really burned by this fire, then she should not be able to stay calm now.
The embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop all came, and the big guy couldn't believe all this in front of him, and he couldn't believe that the embroidery workshop was gone.
"What about our order?"
"The finished clothes haven't had time to be delivered to the houses, and they will be delivered tomorrow, how can this be good?"
"And Miss Yang's wedding dress! It's over, it's really over this time......"
