Xie Huiyi rushed back to Li's house from outside early in the morning, and when he entered Mrs. Xie's house, he shouted loudly about the news of the fire in the Wang family, and said: "I heard that the mother and daughter of the Wang family were all burned to death!" Wang Angui's wife dismissed the subordinates in the family yesterday, so when the fire burned in the middle of the night, no one noticed it at all. When the neighbors noticed that the fire could not be stopped, several houses in the Wang clan that lived close to his house were damaged, and several people died! ”

Everyone in the Xie family was stunned. Mrs. Xie almost dropped the porridge bowl and screamed and asked, "How did it burn?" There was thunder last night, is it a punishment from heaven?! ”

“…… I don't know. Xie Huizhi choked for a moment, took the tea from Xie Mulin, took a big sip, and replied as usual, "But there are rumors that Wang Angui's wife set the fire herself." Didn't his old lady go to the funeral yesterday? Wang Angui's case should also be closed. They are used to being pampered, where can they endure the hardships of exile? simply set himself on fire and cleaned himself. Moreover, even the house and the things in it were burned together, which also saved the Wang clansmen. These days, they have a lot of trouble with their clansmen, right? ”

Shemulin asked him, "Are you sure they're all dead?" ”

Xie Huizhi shrugged: "How do I know this?" I just went to talk to Cao Rong early in the morning with the newly made snacks at home, but who knew that he was going out with Cao Wenxiang and them, saying that he was going to Wang's house to watch the excitement. I didn't want to meet anyone else, so I came back first. If the second sister wants to know, I'll go to Wangjia Hutong again. ”

Before Xie Mulin could speak, Old Lady Xie hurriedly spoke: "You hurry up and take a look, what's going on, how bad is their house burning?" Is it in vain? After speaking, he seemed to hesitate, "Should I also see it with my own eyes?" Our Xie family's enemies have retribution, and if we don't see it with our own eyes, we always feel regretful. ”

Wen persuaded her with a pale face: "Old lady, there are only a lot of onlookers there now, you are old, why do you bother to join in that fun?" In case you squeeze and bump into it, it's not fun. ”

She had good intentions, but Mrs. Xie was unhappy when she heard this: "Why am I so old?" I'm so strong! If I go by boat and don't have to go far, can I still not support it?! ”

Xie Mulin interjected on the side and said, "Didn't the old lady just say yesterday that she was old and in poor health, so she could only recuperate?" We all say that you are still young and strong, but you are not happy to be alone, and you have to insist that you are an old man, and you can't work easily. Why didn't you change your mind in less than a day? ”

Mrs. Xie choked. Can she say that she just wanted to escape from her second granddaughter yesterday and arrange housework for herself? She can do it just to pick some beans, but why should she work? Just ask the hired mother-in-law to do it. Anyway, she spent money to hire people, so what if she asked someone to do more work?

Old Lady Xie stiffened her face, as if she hadn't heard Xie Mulin's words. At this time, Xie Yingrong spoke: "Old lady, you want to go and see the fate of the enemy, we as juniors naturally understand your intentions." It's just that the Wang family has only had a fire now, and I don't know if the fire has been extinguished at this time. Even if it is extinguished, I am afraid that there will still be smoke, and if you get close, you will feel uncomfortable. Why do you have to suffer this sin? Just let the third brother inquire. ”

Xie Yingfen said with some fear: "Yes, old lady, I heard that the people who were burned to death were like coke, which was terrible, don't go and see it!" Xie Hanzhi also persuaded him again and again.

Mrs. Xie had the steps, so she came down: "Then I won't go." I'm not in good health, what if I smoke and get sick? Now the family doesn't have much money, and I can't afford a serious illness. My old man won't make trouble for you juniors. ”

Xie Mulin smiled and did not continue to scold her. As long as Mrs. Xie didn't deliberately find trouble with the Wen family, she was not interested in fighting a lawsuit with others.

Xie Jinzhi pulled Xie Huizhi to sit down at the dining table, stuffed him with a bun, and said, "Third brother who works hard for a while, accompany me on a trip to Wangjia Hutong, I want to go and see it in person." It's weird. Didn't you just hear from Cao Rong that Cheng Wang, the wife of the Marquis of Ningguo, was looking for someone to do and wanted to find a better place for his brother-in-law and niece? When she came back from the funeral yesterday, she also went to Pingnanbo's mansion. She was still working around for Wang Angui's wife and daughter, and when the Wang family's mother and daughter were clearly not in despair, why did they suddenly set fire to themselves? Is there something else? ”

If the fire was not set by Wang Angui's wife herself, but someone else deliberately murdered her, such as the Cao family, who had an unpleasant quarrel with the daughter of the Wang family not long ago...... Then there is an article to do.

Xie Huizhi ate the buns in two bites, and replied, "If the second brother feels that his body is okay, then I will accompany you on a trip." Cao Wenxiang and those people can't stay there for a long time, and when we pass, they are afraid that they will leave long ago, and we don't have to worry about anything. As for the others, the Cheng family, the Jiang family, or something, they won't do anything to us when they meet. I can still find someone to inquire about what news is on the Wang family's side. ”

Xie Huizhi is confident when he says this kind of thing now. These days, he deliberately made friends with Cao Rong, which was quite fruitful. He told Cao Rong about the preferences and taboos of the gentlemen he knew, and taught the other party some skills for getting along with others, and Cao Rong felt that he benefited a lot. In the past, he would only call his Cao family circle when he needed a thug, but now he often has fun with him, which has made him praised by his mother Cao Su several times. In addition, Cao Su's family also successfully won the appreciation of Mrs. Chengenhou and Mrs. Cao Er because of the news brought by Xie Huizhi, and he went over to be a companion every day, which was very decent, and even his son was not free to talk about it, Cao Rong felt more and more that his new good friend was pleasing to the eye.

In fact, Cao Rong also knew in his heart that Xie Huizhi wanted to use himself to inquire about the news of the Cao family, but so what? The Xie family is so pitiful, isn't it normal to want to find out the news? True friends don't mind that! Moreover, the Xie family did not have the strength to be unfavorable to the Chengenhou Mansion, and the enmity with them was still the Pingnanbo Mansion, which was at odds with the Chengenhou Mansion and the Cao family's second room. Cao Rong has no psychological pressure at all about what he does.

Xie Huizhi not only inquired about the news of the Cao family's periphery through Cao Rong, but also used the power of Cao Rong to get to know several servants and slaves in the Cheng'en Hou Mansion and the Cao family's second room. Among these people, there are no important positions, and those who do not have no income have no scruples. As long as Xie Huizhi is willing to pay, they are willing to help inquire about any news. The Cao family is not strict with these idlers, and those decent people who know about it will not be wary of their own or relatives' juniors, and a few casual gossips can reveal a lot of important information.

Xie Huizhi got some money from Xie Mulin, and after repaying Cao Rong's debts, he still had the money left over to develop secret informants in the Chengenhou Mansion, and through the relationship network between the Chengenhou Mansion and the Cao family's two families, he successfully developed his contacts to the Cheng family and the Wang family, and the news became more and more well-informed. In the past few days, the various grievances and entanglements between the three heads of the Cao family, the Cheng family and the Wang family, even if he is not clear about the details and what has probably happened, he still knows it, and he is confident that he can find a way to inquire deeply.

Seeing that Xie Huizhi was so confident, Xie Mulin thought about it and said, "Then I will go with you too." "She goes out occasionally, and it's nothing. Wen opened his mouth, then closed it again, without saying a word to stop it.

Old Lady Xie pursed her lips, only feeling that this was unseemly. Who knew that Xie Yingrong also looked at her expectantly: "Old lady, if you want to know how miserable the Wang family is, why don't you ...... How about I take a look at it for you? ”
