"You, aren't you?"

Song Nian looked at the guy with a smile.

The fellow trembled and nodded.

"Don't be afraid, look at you, there was a fire this night, I didn't change my clothes, and my body was full of tung oil...... Painting at night, the light is not good, so you don't want to set the tung oil on fire, right? ”

Song Nian's repeated words made the guy tremble even more, but there was nothing.

"Is that so...... Lord Song, this guy accidentally missed and ordered a pharmacy, but he could only hand it over to the Wang family. Governor Li sighed and said, "It's also pitiful." ”

Song Nian looked at the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, look, is it like mine." ”

"This ...... I think that the most reasonable thing for adults is that it was an accidental miss. He was also painstaking, and in order not to hinder the business of the pharmacy, he painted at night. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

Song Nian smiled, and suddenly said sharply: "Since it was an accidental fire!" So why do candles burn through the tabletop! ”

The shopkeeper was stunned: "This ......"

Wang Zhutou said unhappily: "This guy is afraid of being punished by the master's family, and it is normal for him to find some reason to cover up the truth. ”

Song Nian smiled and asked lightly, "Is that so?" Then I ask you...... Why...... He used candles, not oil lamps. ”

"What's so strange about that?" Governor Li frowned.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Candles, only you can afford them, these guys, even lamp oil has to be spared. The master beside him desperately whispered to remind him.

Candles, looking for another era, are extremely valuable things for ordinary people.

"Ahem, that's the case, then, this guy, you, where did you get the candle?" Governor Li coughed twice and asked sharply.

"The ...... The ......" the guy stammered and kept looking at the shopkeeper.

"Alas...... It was the candle that the old decay gave him. The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.

"What do you give him candles. Such a valuable thing, let him burn the table to play? Song Nian looked at the shopkeeper.

From the very beginning, she knew that something was wrong with this shopkeeper, but it was too troublesome to deal with this kind of cunning person, so it was better to start directly with this guy.

"It's old and greedy...... Give this guy a candle and ask him to pretend to be a candle to set the wooden table on fire and start a fire. ”

Others suddenly realized. The oil burns in the lampstand, and even if it burns out, it will not start a fire unless it is deliberately set on fire. Only candles are placed on the table to burn slowly, and if you accidentally fall, you may ignite the table top, creating the illusion of an accidental fire.

The shopkeeper arched his hand: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter ...... Old decay and death are hard to escape. ”

"You...... Where can our Wang family not be able to stand you! Why burn my shop! Wang Zhutou said angrily.

"Wang Zhutou, it's me...... There have been too many shortfalls over the years, and I really can't fill it this year, so I thought about burning the shop and couldn't check it...... Decaying ...... Willing to be punished, but, don't be embarrassed by this guy, it's all ...... I let him do it. The shopkeeper stretched out his hands.

Wang Zhutou took out the shackles and fastened them to the shopkeeper and the guy: "Let's go, go to the prison, and ask you slowly!" ”

Song Nian looked at the old and sad face of the shopkeeper, and always felt that something was wrong in his heart.

However, all this, and the reasoning is reasonable, and there is not a single doubt.

"Master Song, he really deserves to be Chu Darao's right-hand man, and the kung fu of judging the case in this prison is really flirtatious." Governor Li praised it.

Song Nian smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Thank you for your praise, actually...... That is, pay more attention to things than others. ”

"Hahaha, why should Master Song be humble, I can see all your scrutiny of the case." Governor Li said appreciatively: "In a few days, I will let the yamen see if there are any old cases, and ask Master Song to help investigate the case, and when the time comes, don't shirk it." ”

"This ...... As long as Lord Chu agrees. "Song Nian is not good.

"We'll talk about it then." Chu He said indifferently.

"Haha, then it's time to do it again." Governor Li yawned: "This is the matter, you guys, let the soldiers go to rest......"

Song Nian saw a faint white light shining in the fire, and knew that it was his task reward, so he smiled and said, "Master Li, I'm ...... I also want to check out the fire. ”

"The culprit has been found, what is there to see about this fire?" Governor Li yawned.

Song Nian said with a smile: "Xia Guan has liked this kind of fire and murder since he was a child, and he often checks it, and only after accumulating time can he see things that others can't notice." ”

"Well, that makes sense...... Wang catches the head. You also stay, and learn a thing or two from Master Song. ”

"Yes, sir."

Governor Li yawned and left, but left Song Nian with a tail.

Yes, Song Nian has to find a way to get rid of him

Walking into the fire for the second time, Song Nian also deliberately glanced at the task prompt.

Sure enough, it was 100% complete, and she was right to judge the cause of the fire.

It's just that...... Song Nian always felt that something was wrong.

This system, digging a hole for her is not once or twice.

Walking around the east and west in the fire field, Song Nian subconsciously stayed away from the place where the white treasure chest was.

Although the treasure chest can't be seen by others, Song Nian always feels strange in her heart, she doesn't want to touch the treasure chest with her "tail".

But turning around, he turned to the crude medicine warehouse, and Song Nian took a look.

Okay, there is a big warehouse, and it is burned clean.

At this moment, she suddenly felt something strange behind her.

When she turned around, it was Chu He standing behind her.

"My mother," Song Nian patted his chest: "My Lord Chu, can you not be scary in the back?" ”

Chu He stared at the warehouse several times and didn't say anything.

"By the way, what about Wang Zhutou?" Song Nian looked around, only to find that Wang Zhutou, who had been hanging behind her buttocks, was gone.

"He went to the lobby and seemed to find some evidence." Chu He said lightly.

"Huh? Why didn't the adults stop him? Song Nian walked anxiously to the lobby.

Over there in the lobby, but where the treasure chest is, what if the task reward is touched away in advance by Wang Zhutou?

"This is Jiuyuan Mansion, the government is arresting the head of the case, what reason do I have to stop it?" Chu He hurriedly followed, saying.

Song Nian was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was in a hurry.

When I arrived at the lobby, I saw Wang Zhutou stuffing a few account books into his arms.

Seeing Song Nian and them coming, Wang Zhutou hurriedly said: "These account books are all evidence of the shopkeeper's greed for ink. ”

Chu He said lightly: "Wang Zhutou doesn't need to explain, this is your duty." ”

"Thank you, Lord Chu." Wang Zhutou arched his hand, and said to Chu He and Song Nian: "Two adults, I should go and interrogate the prisoners." ”

"Well, go ahead." Chu He said lightly.

Wang Zhutou anxiously walked in the direction of the palace, but in a hurry, he tossed the scorched and fallen wooden rafters, and then got up and walked out.

Song Nian's eyes widened, and he was inexplicably surprised.

The place where Wang Zhutou fell was just right...... is the location of the treasure chest.

Could it be ......

Song Nian looked over, and sure enough, inside the treasure chest, there was an account book.

She reached out and picked it up, only to see dense red letters on the account book.

"It's the bookbooks of the pharmacy, huh?" Chu He took the account book and glanced at it, his brows furrowed deeply.
