Chapter 26: Confrontation head-on, slap in the face of the second room
"You're the one who hit you!" Yan Bing held her chin high, and refused to admit defeat, "Since you keep saying that the National Teacher's Mansion is the only bloodline, the young lady is the only bloodline of the National Teacher's Mansion, and you are all the servants of the National Teacher's Mansion, so you dare to question the eldest lady, this is the first time, only a slap will give you a lesson, and then next time, I think who dares to say a word after pulling out your tongue?" ”
Redsleeves was speechless on the spot.
Lan Jing said loudly: "I have understood the situation clearly, the huge Qingfeng Garden turned into ashes overnight, and no one in the mansion knows about it, the arsonist must have drugged us out of sight, Yan Bing, immediately go to report to Jing Zhaoyin, let them bring them over, and they are bound to find out the arsonist." ”
Yan Bing hurried away, but at the door and Wang Peizhi Lan Yun's mother and daughter pretended to be "Slow." ”
Wang Peizhi came with a group of entourage, and beside him was the red canal that disappeared after the blue mirror went out, and it turned out that the rescuers had gone.
Wang Peizhi is also very powerful, she almost tore her face yesterday, and today she can still smile at each other, "Jing'er, what do you mean?" ”
"Second aunt can't see it, I'm trying to find a way to catch the arsonist?" Lan Jing tugged at the corners of his mouth, "After all, the dignified National Teacher's Mansion went to the water for no reason, and there were dead people, and it is a normal procedure to report to the official!" ”
"What is the normal procedure, the National Teacher's Mansion is going to the water, and no one knows about it, and he has to publicize it outside, but he has two dead family members, what is there to make a fuss about?"
Lan Yun also remembered that she was robbed of her place in the palace by Lan Jing, and every word she spoke smelled of gunpowder.
Lan Jing sneered, "The third sister is really calm, this time, that person's purpose is Qingfeng Yuan, you are not nervous if you want to burn the two family members, but next time, if he wants to burn the third sister or the second aunt, or even the second uncle, is the third sister so indifferent, don't forget, this fire is silent, if you want to do it again, it is completely possible!" ”
Lan Yun was speechless for a while, looking at Wang Peizhi with an embarrassed face, hoping that her mother could find a place for her.
But this time, Wang Peizhi actually agreed with Lan Jing's statement, nodded and said: "What Jing'er said is very true, it is time to declare customs, Yan Bing, go and invite Jing Zhaoyin to come." ”
Yan Bing left quickly, and Lan Yun looked at the blue mirror unwillingly, "You'd better find out why, otherwise, the National Teacher's Mansion will lose face and lose its heart, see how you explain it to your father?" ”
"The third sister is wrong again." Lan Jing smiled, "You forgot, this is the National Teacher's Mansion, even if I want to explain, I will explain to my father, what to explain to my second uncle?" ”
Lan Yun was completely speechless, waiting for Lan Jing's eyes to be able to devour people alive, but unfortunately, when it came to killing with eyes, Lan Jing really wasn't afraid of anyone.
Wang Peizhi saw that she couldn't take advantage of the fire, so she paid attention to the envoy Jun and Bei Chen, who came from behind, "Jing'er, although you are also a master of the National Teacher's Mansion, but after all, you are a boudoir woman, and it is always bad to be in the same room with two men, the reputation of the National Teacher's Mansion has been accumulated by the Lan family for several generations, but you can't be bad!" ”
"In the same room?" The Lan family looked at Bei Chen and the envoy with an innocent face, "Which of you is in the same room with me, Bei Chen, is it you, or is it you?" ”
Makes Jun shake his head blankly, "I live in the backyard, not even a yard, how can there be such a big house?" ”
Bei Chen is Lan Lan said: "If the guards and protect the master can be regarded as living in the same room, then there are more than two foreign men who are in the same room with the third lady." ”
"Poof" Some people couldn't help laughing, although the maids and women were not so blatant, their bodies were also trembling with laughter.
Lan Yun's face flushed with shame, and she pointed at Beichen with one hand, "You, you" Le for a long time, didn't say anything, covered her face and ran out of Mingjing Pavilion.
The Lan family shook his head and said with a smile: "Second aunt, forgive me, my father left me this guard, my father was afraid that I would be bullied, so he only cared about teaching him Xuanli, but he forgot to teach him the six arts, and his words were inevitably vulgar, but the words were not rough, after all, the feelings of loyal servants and strict masters should not allow anyone to defile them, otherwise, which noble daughter would dare to use guards, wouldn't it open the door to the rogue gangsters?" ”
"Once a saint, Jing'er is really getting more and more sharp."
Seeing that the verbal confrontation was better than the blue mirror, Wang Peizhi began to bring up the old things, trying to use the saint's affair to reveal the scars of the blue mirror.
Blue Mirror just laughs, doesn't speak.
Seeing this, Wang Peizhi finally stopped provoking Blue Mirror with boring words.
Seeing this, Lan Jing said: "I heard Yan Xue say that Qingfeng Garden has all burned down, looking at the second aunt like this, I think I have already been to Qingfeng Garden, I don't know what the second aunt found?" ”
"It's all burned to ashes, what can I find?" Wang Peizhi replied lukewarmly, "Since you have reported to the official, go to the front and wait, Jing Zhaoyin should be questioned one by one later, don't have to find someone again then." ”
Lan Jing nodded, she just wanted to make this matter clear, the matter has come to this point, Wang Peizhi can't hold it down if she wants to, and she naturally won't try to stop her.
The incident happened in the National Teacher's Mansion, Lan Qingyun was a dignified first-class scholar again, and Jing Zhaoyin came quite quickly.
Wang Peizhi often attends banquets in various mansions, and knows Jingzhao Mansion, and when she saw Jingzhao Yin come in, she immediately put on the posture of Mrs. Shangshu, "Lord Wu, the situation must have been told to you by the maid in the house, this is the most important place in the life of the National Teacher, and please Lord Wu must find out the truth and give a powerful explanation to the spirit of the National Teacher in the sky." ”
Jing Zhaoyin nodded again and again, "Madam Lan is polite, this is the subordinate official's business, and the subordinate must do his best." ”
Lan Jing stood aside and didn't speak, and when Wang Peizhi and Jing Zhaoyin finished their polite exchanges and walked towards Qingfeng Yuan, they followed silently.
Jing Zhaoyin saw that Lan Jing was following, so he took the initiative to say: "Miss Yan Bing said that no one in your mansion noticed the fire last night, can Miss Lan know what important items were put in the study before the National Normal University?" ”
Lan Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "My father is probably the same as many people, but all the important chapters, the books are all in the study, I still think, after a few days, I will be better, take some of my father's commonly used objects to souvenir, who knows, the huge Qingfeng Garden was burned down like this, I should have come to take some valuable things earlier." ”
"Miss, please mourn."
"It doesn't matter." Lan Jing shook his head, "The Si people have passed away, the living must always work hard to live, what do you want to ask, just ask, as long as it is beneficial to capture the arsonist, Lan Jing must know everything." ”
When Jing Zhaoyin heard this, he nodded with a little appreciation, "In this way, then the official is not welcome, dare to ask, when did Miss Lan rest last night?" ”
"It's halfway through." Lan Jing tilted his head, thought for a while, and then replied, "I went out with the maids yesterday morning to play crazy for a while, and when I came back, I couldn't hold my body and fell asleep, but I didn't expect to sleep until sunset, and I couldn't sleep at night, and I kept reading a book, and I didn't go to rest until I was halfway through." ”
"In other words, before the second hour of the child, Qingfeng Yuan was not on fire yet." Jing Zhaoyin nodded.
Wang Peizhi saw that the blue mirror provided clues, and hurriedly said: "Lord Wu, I asked the people of your mansion, in the morning, it was a mother-in-law who was in charge of pouring swill and found that Qingfeng Garden was on fire, at that time, it was about half of the hour. ”
"In this way, the arsonist must have set the fire between the halfway and the halfway of the hour, and it was only three hours."
Lord Wu nodded again and again, "Mrs. Lan, eldest lady, the two of you have done the official a great favor, these three hours are much easier to check than a whole night." ”
Lan Jing continued: "It is impossible for a huge courtyard to burn like this every two or three hours, I suspect that the arsonist can use something to support combustion, perhaps, this can provide a direction for Lord Wu's investigation." ”
"That's right, that's right, a huge yard will be burned down in just three hours, and it will be difficult to complete it without burning oil, spirits and other combustibles."
Jing Zhaoyin nodded again and again when he heard this, "I didn't expect that Miss Lan's daughter's family would also study the way to solve the case, Miss Lan has other suspicions, even if she raises it, the official still wants to ask for a lesson or two!" ”
"Don't dare to ask for advice, reason to judge the case, Master Wu is an expert, as for me, if I can find out the case as soon as possible and let my father rest in peace, Lan Jing will already be satisfied."
Jing Zhaoyin nodded again and again when she heard this, Wang Peizhi's teeth itched, but unfortunately, she herself was afraid of this person who would burn Qingfeng Yuan down with a fire, so she didn't dare to make trouble at this time, so she could only endure it.
Entering Qingfeng Garden, Lan Jing said to Yan Xue: "Where is the body?" ”
Yan Xue pointed to the steps in front of the study, "Oh, it's still there, no one dares to touch it, it's the same." ”
Jing Zhaoyin turned around and waved his hand, "Zuo." ”
He walked over naturally, Lan Jing followed two steps, and was stopped by Jing Zhaoyin, "Miss Lan, please stay, this person who died in the fire has many terrifying faces, Miss Lan should not be frightened." ”
Lan Jing didn't want to be too dazzling, so he nodded, "Thank you for reminding me, Lan Jing was eager to know the truth, and he was really negligent, and almost caused trouble to him." ”
Jing Zhaoyin smiled and shook his head, "Madam Lan, the eldest lady will be here for a while, and if there is any new discovery, the official will ask questions again." ”
Lan Jing bowed slightly, took two steps back politely, and gave up the home field to Jing Zhaoyin and Qizuo.
Taking advantage of Jing Zhaoyin and Qi to investigate the scene and conduct a preliminary autopsy, Lan Jing silently walked to the envoy's side, "Did you hear anything last night?" ”
Yuanjun's purple eyes looked at the blue mirror, and nodded lightly, "When the fire was burning, I heard some movement. ”
"Approximately, can you tell how many people there are?"
Blue Mirror was deeply pleased, and if Jun could determine the exact time of the fire, there would be hope of finding the arsonist.
However, to Lan Jing's disappointment, the envoy shook his head, "I heard the movement when I got up at night, they didn't come to Mingjing Pavilion, I didn't care, it should have just arrived at the ugly time." ”
