Chapter 394: Reason
Yun Niang is fine, which is a good thing for nursery rhymes.
She didn't dare to delay here, and after instructing Tong Dashan to take care of Yun Niang, she went back to the alley.
After experiencing the fire, the air was still mixed with the smell of fire at this time, which made Tong Yao think of last night's fire, and she felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, there were still a lot of people standing in the alley, most of them watching the excitement.
"This god killed, I don't know if it was the fire that lacked morality, my Han mother-in-law has lived for so many years, not to mention doing good every day, but I haven't done anything harmful, how did I get to this time, I still have to experience a fire, the house burned down, I don't live anymore, I don't live anymore!"
Mrs. Han sat on the threshold and said unequivocally with tears in her eyes.
For last night's fire, everyone was apprehensive, and they also sympathized with the Han family and the Chen family, so many people also stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Han.
"Auntie, as long as there is nothing to do, then it will be fine, and you can relax."
"Bah, it's not your house that burned, so you all stand and talk without backache, our backyard is burned to the point that there is nothing left, there are no clothes and quilts, this is not to let the old woman and me live."
The woman who was originally kind enough to comfort her, when she saw Mrs. Han say this, she didn't have a good face, but she didn't bother with Mrs. Han, and stood aside quietly.
I don't know who called Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Han's eyes looked straight towards the nursery rhyme, and there was a terrifying light in her eyes.
"It's you, don't you have a grudge against me, so you burned our house, you vicious mother-in-law, so ruthless, my wife I didn't die in this fire, that's my life, no, you have to compensate for the loss of our family!"
The nursery rhyme waved away the hand that Han Pozi touched.
The people around also came forward to stop them.
"Mrs. Han, your house was burned, and the Chen family was also burned, so you have to be reasonable."
When Mrs. Han thought of her own loss, where was she still sensible.
"It's her, it's definitely her, if it's not her, who will set fire to the house."
Everyone looked at Mrs. Han a little crazy, and everyone didn't bother to talk to her, but looked at the nursery rhyme and hugged her.
"Are your kids okay?"
The nursery rhyme smiled at the people who cared about them.
"Last night, the girl found that the fire was so good, the child was fine, and the people in the family were fine, thank you for your relationship, and there was everyone's help last night."
So many people came to help put out the fire at night, this favor is owed, she plans to wait until the time is done, she will prepare some thank-you gifts here, and go door to door to thank you.
"What's this, neighbors, that's polite."
Although he said that, it was obvious that the smile on that person's face was a little more real, after all, others have done good things, and it is one thing for them to be willing, if others can understand, then they will feel that it is worth it, right?
Mrs. Han looked at the nursery rhymes and talked and laughed with these people, and she was even more angry in her heart.
"It's strange that I will pretend, I will go to the yamen and ask the prefect to check and let her put that black-hearted arson in a cell!"
As she said this, her eyes were on the nursery rhyme.
The nursery rhyme's eyes were slightly cold.
"Okay, I'll go with you, my family suffered a lot of damage last night, and I want someone to compensate me?"
Mrs. Han was a little scared in her heart when she looked at the nursery rhyme's cool eyes, but in front of so many people, she didn't want to compare herself in front of the nursery rhyme, so she could only raise her head angrily.
When I was in the courtyard, the house in the front yard was undamaged, but the yard in the front yard looked a little irregular, because there were too many people who came in to fight the fire last night, but these are small things.
Tong Yao looked around, but he didn't see Chen Qing's shadow, and Chen Qing didn't go to the inn to look for them last night, and he didn't know where the others were at this time.
As soon as I walked to the living room, I saw Lu Yi.
"Where's the second master?"
Lu arched his body and said respectfully.
"The second master was busy all night last night, and he didn't sleep until dawn."
The nursery rhyme estimated the time and nodded.
"Okay, don't bother him now, and tell me everything that happened after I left last night."
Lu Yiyi is a smart person, and when he heard about it, he told everything he had seen and heard.
"After Mrs. left last night, the second master took us to extinguish the fire, but the loss was that there was no wind last night, the fire was almost extinguished after an hour, and the only houses that were burned were the Han family and our family, and there were no casualties."
"Do you have any impressions of the people who came to fight the fire last night?"
As soon as Lu heard this, he touched his head and shook his head embarrassedly.
The nursery rhyme just smiled slightly, and no longer continued to ask this, but asked.
"What about the yamen, but has you found out where the source of the fire is?"
It was not an accident that she was more inclined to this fire, but why this fire still burned the Han family made her a little puzzled.
"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, the source of the fire has not been found."
This answer disappointed Tong Yao very much, the fire started from her house, most likely from the Han family.
"Sister-in-law, the location of the fire source should be in the Han family's miscellaneous house."
"Second master."
"Ah Qing."
The nursery rhyme looked at Chen Qing and saw that his eyes were clear, he was really young, and he was also energetic after staying up late.
"Ah Qing, how did you know that the fire source was in the Han family?"
Chen Qing carried one hand behind his back, and he had a posture.
"After the fire went out last night, I looked at all the burned houses and asked Han Fuzi about the situation. And found that their side burned even more than ours, and the house next door to them was also burned a corner, and there was no wind last night, which means that the spread of the fire will only be determined by the burning objects, but the things in each room are similar, and there is nothing special, since they are burning farther away, the source of the fire must be on their side. ”
As if to prove his conclusion, Chen Qing continued.
"Sister-in-law, the houses on our side are all side by side, although they share a wall, but the wall of the house is not common, it is a double layer, if this is the case, the speed of the fire will slow down, so it is presumed that the fire source is from the Han family, but I asked Master Han, there are not many members of the Han family, and no one moves in the utility room on the west wing, and now it is Siyuetian, but I don't know how the fire burned."
The nursery rhyme's mind immediately flashed the picture of Mrs. Han, but soon she shook her head and vetoed it, Mrs. Han's sadness didn't seem to be fake, she didn't have to set fire to herself because she hated herself, and then caused both sides to lose.
The last thing left was that her eyes were slightly sunken.
At this time, Chen Qing looked straight at the nursery rhyme.
"Sister-in-law, what traces did the people left behind by the eldest brother find?"
This is the first time that Chen Qing has mentioned Chen Xuan's side in front of nursery rhymes.
Tong Yao looked at Chen Qing and said without concealment.
"From yesterday to now, there has been no news from the people over there."
Chen Qing's little face was also full of seriousness.
"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid this fire is coming for us."
The nursery rhyme nodded slightly, but what was the purpose of this arson, she regarded Chen Qing as an adult at this time.
"This fire is menacing, and our family is suspected of being drugged, but no one was injured, you said they could quietly give us squint medicine, so why not poison us directly, but make such a big noise, such a time-consuming and labor-intensive thing, it's you, will you do it?"
Chen Qing pursed his lips.
Yes, why are they, after the big fight, but they didn't hurt them, what do they want to do?
Suddenly, Chen Qing had an idea and said excitedly.
"Temptation."
The nursery rhyme's eyes also lit up, her brain turned rapidly, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.
"Is it a test of our identity?"
Chen Qing nodded, and deliberately lowered his voice at this time.
"It's Zhu Chengping!"
Regarding Chen Qing's sudden naming of Zhu Chengping, the nursery rhyme also thought of when Scar told her before, and when she went to the prefect's mansion to work as a laborer for free for three days.
"Sister-in-law, it must have been Zhu Chengping who leaked the similarity between the eldest brother and the third prince, and then caused the bad intentions of the third prince."
The nursery rhyme looked at Chen Qing's eyes with complicated writing, and said with a sigh.
"Ah Qing, sister-in-law is very sorry, I didn't tell you about Zhu Chengping."
Chen Qing looked at the nursery rhyme, and immediately knew that his sister-in-law knew that Zhu Chengping had passed the news to the people on the third prince's side, and he pursed his lips slightly.
"Ah Qing, your actions in the mansion have not changed, and when you tell you these things, my sister-in-law thinks it's useless, so I didn't mention it in front of you, didn't I always go to the prefect's mansion a few days ago? At that time, I knew that they wanted to get some information from me, but I went for three days, and I cooked food for three days, and I didn't even see the faces of the three princes and the prefect, so I don't know what kind of medicine they are selling in their gourds now. “
Chen Qing frowned, and then looked at the nursery rhyme.
"Sister-in-law, if something like this happens again in the future, I hope you can tell me that I said that after my eldest brother goes out, I will help my sister-in-law manage this family, and I can't always enjoy the protection of my sister-in-law and eldest brother."
Knowing that this was Chen Qing's true thoughts, she smiled and nodded.
"Well, I will."
Chen Qing's complexion eased slightly, obviously he was still an eleven or twelve-year-old child, but the depth in his eyes was different from that of his peers.
"Sister-in-law, they act like this, I look at them and seem to have some scruples, for the time being, let's not contact the people left by the eldest brother, and you must take care of the little pumpkin, I am worried that those people will use some special methods in order to test us at that time."
