Chapter 272: No need to help
"On fire?" Ye Xiaoyan was a little confused.
Nangong You also heard it behind and asked, "How can a good one catch fire?" ”
Qingfeng said: "It's not clear for the time being, but my subordinates have already called someone to rush over to put out the fire." However, it is estimated that the burn is probably about the same. ”
There was one person left in the West Hill Villa to guard the yard, and the others all moved to the South Park, and now the West Hill Villa is an empty house.
Ye Xiaoyan asked, "How did you find out that it was on fire?" ”
Qingfeng replied, "Someone found smoke at the foot of the West Mountain, which can be seen from the rooftop. Some people said that it seemed that the house was on fire, and his subordinates rode over to see it, and saw that the Xishan villa was on fire from a distance, so they hurried back to call someone to put out the fire. Now that all the people in the short gang have rushed over, the subordinates have come to report to the lord and wife. ”
After hearing this, Ye Xiaoyan immediately jumped on the roof, only to see a place at the foot of the West Mountain billowing smoke, and there was fire in the smoke. The whole yard was on fire.
Ye Xiaoyan hurriedly came down and said to Qingfeng: "You hurry over and tell them not to go in to put out the fire." Such a big fire, if they are not burned to death, they will be choked to death by thick smoke, so they are far away, and they don't need to be saved. ”
"Madame......" Qingfeng didn't expect Madame to give an order not to save her.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "It's all burned like this, it's useless to save it, what if someone is injured or dies because of firefighting." Hurry up! We'll be there. ”
"Go ahead." Nangong Yu also said a word later.
"Yes."
Qingfeng hurriedly rode after him.
Nangong You's face was a little dark, and he asked, "How do you think that fire burned?" ”
"Someone must have set the fire on purpose. Otherwise, the whole yard would have burned. And no one came to report it when it was burned like this, and the people in the courtyard were either not there or were already dead. ”
The courtyard of Xishan Villa is open, and if there is an accidental fire, at most one or two houses will be burned. This kind of whole yard is burning, and it must be done by burning in many places.
Smoke billowed at the foot of the West Mountain, and many people in the city also saw it. Someone reported the matter to the yamen, and the yamen immediately sent someone to check on it.
When Nangong You and Ye Xiaoyan came to Xishan Villa, everyone in the Nanyuan Short Gang was there, with wooden barrels and water basins at their feet. They originally wanted to rush in to put out the fire, but Qingfeng came and said that Madame had ordered not to save them, and they were afraid that they would be in danger if they rushed in.
"Childe! Madam! ”
Everyone brushed together to get out of the way.
Nangong You looked at the burning house in front of him, and his face was very unsightly. When he got closer, he realized that the fire was bigger than he had imagined. He has been in the capital for so long, and he has never seen a house burned like this. Of course, this is also because of the large yard.
Liu Yu had asked Qingfeng before, what does this mansion have to do with them?
Qingfeng said: "This is Madame's mansion. ”
Liu Yu was puzzled: "This mansion was given to Lord Ye by our Liu family in the past, how did it go to Mrs. Ye?" ”
When Qingfeng heard this, he immediately thought of something and said, "I don't know the reason. ”
At this time, Liu Yu saw Ye Xiaoyan coming, stepped forward and asked, "Madam, I heard that this mansion is yours?" ”
"Yes." Ye Xiaoyan replied.
Liu Yu said: "This mansion was originally given to Lord Ye by our Liu family. Back then, our Liujia family in the Western Regions was engaged in the timber business, and the most important thing was wood. When the house was built, twice as much wood was used than ordinary houses. I'm afraid this fire will burn until tomorrow morning. ”
When Ye Xiaoyan heard this, she turned her head sideways and asked, "Are you the Liu family in the Western Regions?" ”
"Yes."
"Do you know Liu Qingwu?"
Liu Yu's eyes widened: "Madam, do you also know Liu Qingwu?" ”
Ye Xiaoyan nodded and said, "Yes, this mansion was sold to me by her daughter." ”
Liu Yu was a little pleased: "Sister Qingwu has a daughter? Are they okay now? ”
Ye Xiaoyan said: "Both of them are dead. ”
"Dead?" Liu Yu was surprised.
Back then, Liu Qingwu was bought from a restaurant, and when he first arrived in Liufu, his mother took care of Liu Qingwu for a while.
Nangong You looked at Liu Yu and then at Ye Xiaoyan. What a coincidence!
Qingfeng stepped forward and asked, "Mrs. Childe, is it just because of the fire?" ”
As soon as Ye Xiaoyan wanted to give an order, she saw an official come over.
"Which of you is the owner of this house?"
"I am." Ye Xiaoyan replied.
"There are so many of you, why don't you put out the fire?" The official was a little impatient, he had never seen anything like this, so many people would just stand aside and watch, not saying that they would hurry up to fetch water and put out the fire.
"The fire is too big to be saved." Ye Xiaoyan replied.
"If you can't save it, you have to save it! How can you just do it and watch! The official was a little angry.
"If you can't save it, it's a waste of effort, if someone is injured or killed, who is responsible? You? ”
The official was choked, he was in a hurry just now, such a big fire, he was afraid to look at it.
The official asked, "What about the people in this house?" Were there any casualties? He looked at the people around him, and there was no one who seemed to have escaped from the fire.
Ye Xiaoyan said: "There is only one person in this mansion who is responsible for guarding the courtyard. ”
"How did this fire start?" The official asked.
Ye Xiaoyan glanced at him and said, "It's so obvious, someone deliberately set the fire, why don't you hurry up and check, is there anyone nearby who sees any suspicious people." ”
The official was very displeased, this woman actually dared to teach him to do things, and was about to get angry, when more than a dozen horses galloped from a distance.
"Third brother!"
Nangong Chen jumped off his horse, walked quickly in front of Nangong You, looked at the raging fire, and asked, "What's going on?" ”
He saw the smoke billowing at the foot of the West Mountain at the Yulin Barracks in the north, and sent someone to see what was going on, and the man came back and reported that it was a house at the foot of the West Mountain that caught fire, and the fire was so great that the whole courtyard was on fire.
Nangong Chen knew that there was only one mansion at the foot of Xishan Villa. Hearing that it was the house of the Third Emperor Brother that was on fire, he immediately rushed here with more than ten people.
Seeing that the dozen or so were all dressed in Yulin military uniforms, the official hurriedly retreated. He can't afford to mess with these people.
Nangong Yu said: "I have offended some people recently, and I don't know which group of people took revenge and set fire to my house." ”
Nangong You's expression was calm, but his eyes were full of regret. Here is the renovation he personally designed. It was here that he found the reborn Yeon'er. Here, Yan'er digs out the hot stone. They spent an unforgettable time here.
Not long after they moved out, the place was set on fire. Did the arsonists not know that they had moved away? Still can't find where they live now?
"Offending people and getting revenge?" Nangong Chen was surprised. The Third Emperor Brother has also offended many people before, but who dares to take revenge on him! That's looking for death.
"Well," Nangong said lightly: "You help me find out, who it is." ”
