Text Chapter 346 Take the sheep by the hand
,。
The chief guard replied, "The fire started in the side room, where it burned the most, and although the room where the lady lived was also on fire, it was not tight. ”
"Master Hou, I'm so scared, there has never been a fire on the side of the room, and the sudden fire is too strange, this time it is clear that someone wants to burn me, otherwise I will definitely not lock the door of my room outside, and then nail the window!" Cui Shi said aggrievedly.
The chief of the guard coughed lightly and said, "Madame's door is not locked, and the windows are not fixed, everything is fine." ”
"How is that possible!" Cui's voice immediately rose a few points.
The chief guard bowed his head and said, "This is indeed the case, if the lady doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself." ”
Cui Shi naturally didn't believe it, and immediately went to look at her doors and windows, her windows were not nailed, they would open when she pushed them, and her door was not locked, and the broken inner bolt could be seen at this time, which meant that when they came out, it was not the outer lock that was broken, but the inner bolt inside.
Cui's eyes were full of disbelief, and she exclaimed, "Impossible, this is impossible!" ”
Feng Jitian originally had some doubts in his heart, but his brows furrowed when he saw such a scene at this time, he looked at Cui Shi and said, "You just woke up in the house, and then you were shocked by the fire, and it is normal to have some hallucinations in your heart. ”
Cui Shi was stunned, the feeling that she had escaped from the fire was too strong, and it didn't look like an illusion no matter how she thought about it.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes full of disbelief, but the facts were in front of her, so she couldn't believe it.
Feng Jitian asked the chief guard again: "Has the cause of the fire been found?" ”
The chief guard replied: "I found out, it was the maid on duty who fell asleep in the middle of the night and accidentally knocked down the oil lamp on the cloth, which caused the fire." ”
He said that it was the Yahuan on duty, but everyone knew that there was no one on duty in the side room where things were stored, and if the chief guard said that Cui's Yahuan was stealing things inside, he was afraid that Cui's was a face-saving person, so he turned the conversation around.
It's just that Feng Jitian couldn't understand it, and immediately shouted angrily: "Where is that Yahuan?" What a guts! ”
The chief guard brought the girl ring to Feng Jitian, Feng Jitian looked at the girl ring and said, "How did you go to that side room so decently?" ”
The girl was also confused at this time, and said busily: "I don't know, I slept on the ** in the middle of the night, and when I woke up, I went to the side room over there." ”
As soon as she said this, Cui Shi was immediately shocked and asked, "Are all the things in the side room still there?" ”
Cui Shi is usually a careful person, no matter what things are stored, she only believes in the personal custody of all valuable things, although that room is a partial room, but it is very close to her room, so her valuable things are placed there, at this time she heard that those things were all burned, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her flesh.
The chief guard replied, "The fire is so great that everything inside has been burned. ”
Cui Shi only felt dizzy when she heard this, and she hurriedly said, "Take me over to have a look!" ”
The chief guard answered, and Cui hurriedly walked over, she originally thought that those things were all gold and jade, even if they were burned, it would not be good, although there would be some damage, but the things should still be there.
But when she looked over, she saw that the gold and jade things inside were gone, but those things that were not too valuable were still left there after the fire burned them.
Cui's has been saving those things for many years, and there is no shortage of treasures in them, she was already frightened, and when she heard that those things were gone, she was so angry that she couldn't get up in one breath, and fainted directly.
Feng Jitian was very close to her, and hurriedly reached out to hold her up, pinching her for her, and she woke up quietly.
Feng Jitian has been a husband and wife with her for many years, and when she saw her like this, she was a little concerned, and said softly: "It's just that some things are burned, it doesn't matter, Hou Ye's little thing can still be burned." ”
Many of the things in it have been secretly purchased by the Cui family over the years, and at this time, the things are gone, and she has no way to say it in front of Feng Jitian, and when she heard Feng Jitian comfort her like this, she could only respond softly.
Lan Qingxuan's somewhat clear voice came: "Today's fire started because of the warehouse, and it seems that you need to be careful about taking care of the warehouse in the future." ”
Her words seemed a little casual, but in Feng Jitian's ears, it was a different situation, and he immediately said to the steward standing aside: "You go and count the big warehouse, don't let this happen again." ”
The steward answered, and Feng Jitian said to the chief guard: "You also go and help take inventory." ”
Cui Shi had just woken up, and her brain was obviously not as fast as before, and when she reacted, the chief guard had already gone to the big warehouse with the steward, and Cui Shi was too late to stop it even if she wanted to.
Cui Shi bit his lip, turned his head to look at Lan Qingxuan, Lan Qingxuan smiled gently, slowly walked in front of Cui Shi and said, "Madame's body is unwell, I can heal a little, do you want to see Madame?" ”
"No need, I'm fine!" Cui Shi gritted his teeth and looked at Lan Qingxuan and said, "I don't need you to worry about me." ”
Lan Qingxuan touched her nose and said no more.
Feng Jitian frowned slightly when he saw this, and he said lightly: "Qingxuan is also a good intention, if you don't want to, you should talk well, where does this look like an elder?" ”
Cui Shi was choked by Feng Jitian's words, and suddenly didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head slightly.
Lan Qingxuan said softly: "Father doesn't have to blame Madame, my medical skills are not very good originally, let's go outside and ask a doctor for Madame to take a look!" Fainting is not a trivial matter after all. ”
Feng Jitian nodded, Cui's room was burned beyond recognition, it was obviously uninhabitable, Feng Jitian knew that Cui's only Feng Wuyi could be appeased, when even ordered someone to send Cui's back to her room.
Feng Jitian also felt that today's fire was a little strange, he still didn't come up with any clues after thinking about it in the room, and the chief guard who went to check the big warehouse came to report: "Master Hou, the big warehouse is full of fabrics, I'm afraid that it will be potentially dangerous to put it like this and draw a fire." ”
Although Feng Ji Tianping didn't care about the things in the warehouse, she also knew that the fabrics in the house were fixed, how could there be a lot of fabrics in the warehouse?
Feng Ji Tian saw that the face of the chief guard was a little evasive, and frowned and asked, "What did you find?" ”
The head of the guard looked at Feng Jitian's face, and then said softly: "Some time ago, Madame bought a lot of inferior fabrics from the cloth shop and came back. ”
"What is Madame doing when she comes back with all those inferior fabrics?" Feng Jitian asked with some puzzlement.
He is very familiar with Cui's family, and knows that she has extremely high requirements for fabrics for ordinary dressing, and she does not wear clothes made of fabrics with bad texture, and she has requirements for the quality of the clothes worn by the people in the border house, and she will definitely not buy those fabrics with too poor texture.
The chief guard replied, "The subordinates don't know what Madame bought those clothes for, but the strange thing is that the fabrics that are piled up in the storeroom are not the inferior fabrics that Madame bought before, but ...... It's ......"
"And what?" Feng Jitian's tone was already very bad.
The head of the guard glanced at Feng Jitian, gritted his teeth and said: "It's some extremely expensive fabrics, Ah Gui, who guards the warehouse, said that those fabrics were collected when the big show added makeup today, and Mrs. asked them to be placed in the big warehouse." ”
Feng Jitian's eyes narrowed when he heard this, he sneered, his eyes revealed a little cold, the head of the guard saw him like this and knew that he had become angry, and said softly: "Maybe there is some misunderstanding here!" ”
It is not a trivial matter for Lan Qingxuan to give those fabrics to the other aunts in the Hou Mansion today, and now the Hou Mansion knows about it.
Feng Jitian's face sank, and he said coldly: "Take all the fabrics that Daxiu sent to Benhou today!" ”
The chief guard answered, and immediately took all the fabrics.
Feng Jitian picked up the sword in his hand and directly cut all the outer seals, and a pungent fire oil suddenly rushed to his face, his complexion suddenly changed greatly, and the muscles on his face trembled.
As soon as the chief guard saw this scene, he didn't dare to speak anymore, Feng Jitian directly cut a piece of cloth with a knife and threw it into the furnace, and the fire overflowed in an instant.
Feng Jitian's eyes narrowed slightly, and the cold in his eyes became heavier.
He saw at a glance what was going on, threw the fabric aside, and said coldly, "Call Madame to come and see me!" ”
"Madame is frightened today, and I am afraid that she has already fallen asleep." The chief guard said cautiously: "There may be some misunderstanding in the middle, Master Hou might as well go to Madame tomorrow!" ”
Feng Jitian snorted coldly and said, "Are you Madame's guard or Benhou's guard?" ”
He asked such a rhetorical question, which immediately startled the chief of the guard, and hurriedly said, "My subordinates will go and ask for Mrs. ”
Feng Jitian said coldly: "Slow! ”
The chief guard was busy standing still, Feng Jitian glared at him and said, "Follow Benhou to find the big show first." ”
The chief guard answered, and when Feng Jitian arrived at Wutong Courtyard, it was still dark, and it was dark inside, and he reached out to knock on the door, but his hand was raised and retracted.
He stood there for a moment, what did he want to say to Lan Qingxuan at this time? Did you want to ask Lan Qingxuan if she had already seen through the Li family's plan, so she sent all the fabrics out? Or did he go and ask Lan Qingxuan if she sent someone to set the fire tonight?
No matter which of these two things is asked, the cause of this incident is Cui's, the thing was sent by Cui's, she just sent it out in its original form, and she only needed to say "I don't know" to push this matter clean.
