Chapter 444: An Ominous Omen
"Didn't the government already say that there were no traces of man-made in the place where the fire was started, where is this man-made fire, it is clearly a natural disaster." A woman next to her pursed her lips and said.
Naturally, there are some people who don't believe in ghosts and gods who don't believe in this statement, and they say with a skeptical face, "Won't it?" How can there be such a mysterious thing in this world? ”
"Why not? Even the person who set the fire was not found in the palace, what is it not a natural disaster? The woman rolled her eyes and said with a determined face: "You don't want to think about how tightly defended the palace is, if it weren't for a natural disaster, who would be so capable of setting fire to a fire under heavy guards and retreating?" ”
"That's right...... "They are all ordinary people, and they don't know what the palace looks like."
It's also not clear that those unoccupied palaces are not guarded at all on weekdays.
"Isn't tomorrow the wedding of King Li and that Miss Mu family? In my opinion, it was the heavens who thought it was ominous for them to get married, which is why there were so many fires to warn the two of them! The more the woman spoke, the more energetic she became, as if she was very reasonable.
The other women who walked with her looked at each other with surprise and suspicion on their faces.
At that time, one of Cui Jian suddenly seemed to think of something, and said, "There is some truth in that!" I heard that they also held a big wedding before, but Miss Mu Jia regretted the marriage in public and cut the wedding dress. ”
"Then the disasters in the capital before they got married were so serious, if they really got married, wouldn't it be even worse?" A woman's face gradually changed.
"Yes, I hope they will break it off quickly, so where is Miss Mu worthy of the Nine Princes! What's more, it wasn't a good divorce before, hum. The woman snorted coldly and said.
"Yes, yes, it's broken as soon as possible, don't bother us ......"
A group of women were discussing with great interest, but they didn't know that all their words were listened to by Mu Yunqian, who was sitting in the carriage.
Mu Yunqian also deliberately wanted to hear what the people in the city thought, so he stopped the carriage.
"Xiao Qian'er......" What the women said just now was too ugly, Li Changfeng saw Mu Yunqian sitting next to him and didn't speak, I don't know if she was unhappy, so she hurriedly opened her mouth and coaxed,
"Those Diao people are talking nonsense, don't take this to heart, our big wedding will be picking a good day after a while, and we can continue to do it."
"I naturally don't believe it," Mu Yun said very calmly with a toothache outside his teeth: "Where in this world are there so many gods and ghosts, and most of these words are spread by some people with hearts. ”
As for the fire......
She doesn't believe in any so-called natural disasters, if she thinks about it carefully, she can find that most of the places where the fire broke out are not people, so it is convenient for that person to leave quickly after starting without being discovered.
It's a pity that some people don't delve into it so much at all, and will only use false rumors to believe the truth.
"It's good that you know," Li Changfeng nodded, and said with a sigh of relief: "Don't pay attention to those people's words, so as not to upset yourself." ”
As he spoke, he promised: "This king will definitely find out about this matter, and he will never let those who have a heart delay our wedding." ”
"Don't act rashly first," Mu Yunqian turned his head to look at him, his heart warmed, and then said: "I'll find an excuse to enter the palace tomorrow, and go to the place where the fire broke out first to see if there is any evidence." ”
"Okay."
……
Following.
Mu Yunqian said that he would do it, and on the second day, he entered the palace under the pretext of visiting the queen.
Li Changfeng was not at ease, so he accompanied her, and in order not to arouse suspicion, the two also went to the queen's place.
The two of them first told the queen about their intentions, and when Li Changfeng was about to go to see with Mu Yunqian, he was stopped by Mu Yunqian and said, "I'll go and see it myself, you can talk to the queen in the palace, just investigate and there will be no danger." ”
"Okay then." Li Changfeng nodded and didn't say anything more.
Mu Yunqian went alone, and everything in that palace had been burned beyond recognition, and only a roof frame remained.
Because the fire started so suddenly, there was no time to repair it.
There was no one guarding outside, Mu Yunqian walked in and took a look, there was no firewood outside the palace, so no one suspected that someone had set it on fire.
She walked back and forth twice inside before finally finding a torch in the backyard and a small hole in the courtyard wall.
It's not huge, but it's enough for a normal youth to climb out.
There was supposed to be a screen next to the torch, but it was almost burned to the ground, and only a few sticks were left to barely make out the shape.
Suddenly, Mu Yun wrinkled his nose slightly, as if he had smelled something.
She guessed something in her mind, and slowly crouched down to pick up the torch, and sure enough, she smelled the smell she had just vaguely smelled on it.
It's fire oil.
Not only on this torch, but also in the position closer to the backyard, it smells of fire oil.
In this way, Mu Yunqian could probably guess that someone had come in from the hole in the backyard, poured the oil and set it on fire, and then ran away from the backyard again, so no one noticed him from beginning to end.
And there was a fire in such a large palace, and by the time they arrived, the whole palace had already burned down, and no one would notice what was going on in the backyard, and they ignored it when they checked it afterwards, and just hurried by.
In addition, the person who set the fire did not put much fire oil, and he couldn't detect it if he didn't smell it carefully.
That's why it was said to be a fire of unknown cause.
found clues, Mu Yunqian immediately went back and told Li Changfeng the news.
Li Changfeng was not surprised when he heard it, after all, he didn't believe in any natural disasters, as long as it was arson, he could find traces, and it was not surprising that Mu Yunqian would find out, it could only be said that his daughter-in-law was too careful!
On the contrary, the queen who was sitting above frowned slightly, and said, "In this way, someone really deliberately set the fire......
She was a little unhappy in her heart, after all, it was her son's wedding that was disturbed, and there were still many people outside who rumored that Li Changfeng was an ominous person, how could she be happy!
"I don't know who has such a vicious mind, if it is discovered by this palace, I will not spare it!"
Xu is queen looks too fierce, and a little palace maid who came in with tea was startled, and her hand shook and almost dropped the teacup.
Fortunately, the queen didn't blame her, but just glanced at the other party lightly: "Why are you so careless?" ”
After speaking, he asked the other party to retreat.
