Chapter 19: Fire

The guard gasped, looked at Nie Ronghua's cold and serious face, and swallowed hard, "The Qinglou that the princess is renovating is on fire!" ”

"What?" Chunhong's eyes widened, how could this be...... Just now, the princess also said that she would be able to open in a few days if she recruited a girl.

As soon as Nie Ronghua dodged, the person had already flown to the horse that was grazing.

"Get out of the way!" The guards and Chunhong hurriedly dodged, and saw Nie Ronghua riding a horse, blowing out like the wind.

When Nie Ronghua arrived on horseback, the fire had already been extinguished.

She looked at the businesses around her, and everything was fine except for the door next door. That is, only the building she was renovating burned down.

"Princess!" The foreman in charge of the renovation ran out in a mess.

Nie Ronghua waved his hand, "Are you okay?" ”

She got off her horse and led her into the green building where only the frame remained.

The foreman followed Nie Ronghua step by step, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is fine, it's just ......"

"It's good that people are fine, isn't it just a building? Auntie, I have silver! It would be nice to rebuild it! She shook off the reins and walked slowly around the building.

Craftsmen and small workers are sorting through the burned.

She knew at a glance that the fire had just been extinguished, and that there were still smoking places in many places.

"How it burned, you know?" Nie Ronghua looked at the foreman.

"It should be ......," the foreman leaned over slightly and said, "It should be someone who deliberately set the fire." ”

"Oh?" Nie Ronghua raised her eyebrows, and the upwardly raised eyes were full of fierce color, and she guessed that it was the same!

"Because the whole building has been completed, I have begun to carve ornaments and carved the fence of tables and chairs, and I am worried that someone will take care of these things, so I will arrange people to live in the building every night to take care of these things. The little one had already asked, and Dalin said that when he was half asleep and half awake, he smelled the smell of fire oil. ”

"Dalin?" Nie Ronghua looked at the foreman.

The foreman looked around and waved to a thin bamboo pole-like figure who was moving things, "Da Lin, come here!" ”

"I haven't seen the princess yet." The foreman, Lao Li, looked at Nie Ronghua's cold face and hurriedly scolded Dalin.

"I've seen the princess." Da Lin rubbed his black and gray hands behind him, and bent down to salute Nie Ronghua.

"Were you here yesterday watching?" Nie Ronghua said expressionlessly, her eyes narrowed slightly, considering the possibility of Da Lin's arson.

"Yes." Dalin replied in a low voice. "Because the wood sent yesterday has huanghuali, the master carved a lucky tree for a while, but because the material is relatively large, it has not been completed, so the small one slept on the second floor last night. On the third watch, the little one heard movement on the first floor, so he went downstairs, but after walking around, he didn't see anything. But after lying down again, the more I felt bad, and Xiao always felt that the smell of paint last night was very big......"

Nie Ronghua nodded, indeed, because there has been a lot of trimming here, all that remains is carved ornaments and a large area of painting. When you spend a lot of time in an environment full of the smell of paint, your nose will no longer be sensitive to pungent odors.

"But after the fire started, when the little one ran downstairs to put out the fire, he noticed that the smell was wrong, the smell of burning paint...... That's not true! It should be fire oil! Dalin said affirmatively.

Lao Li Tou saluted to Nie Ronghua and said, "Da Lin is the apprentice of the villain, and craftsmen like us are very sensitive to the taste after being exposed to these materials for a long time. Pity...... Not detected in advance. ”

"Normal! Anyone who lives in a room like this smells will lose their nose! Nie Ronghua closed her eyes and felt it carefully in the building, since she was able to control the air and water near her, then ...... She should be able to recognize the strange smell left in the air.

She walked slowly around the building with her eyes closed, not stepping on the burned materials, and suddenly, she opened her eyes, "You all suspect that someone deliberately set the fire, right?" ”

Lao Li Tou looked at Da Lin, and Da Lin nodded vigorously, "Yes." ”

"Is it just because of the smell of oil?" Nie Ronghua's bright eyes looked at Da Lin.

Dalin lowered his head and thought for a moment, his hands clenched into fists, as if he had made up some kind of determination, he raised his head vigorously, "The little suspicion is a Yang Ergou." ”

Nie Ronghua's gaze wandered around Dalin and Lao Li, looking at their expressions, it seemed that they all knew Yang Ergou.

"This one named Yang Ergou is also one of yours?" Nie Ronghua raised his eyebrows and asked.

"No, no, no." Lao Li Tou hurriedly shook his head and denied it, "This Yang Ergou is just a gangster, but ...... I heard that he has something to do with Rui Wangfu. ”

A cold light flashed in Nie Ronghua's eyes, and she seemed to have figured out something.

"Yang Ergou often goes in and out of Flower Street?" Nie Ronghua looked at Da Lin.

"He has a good friend in Yihong Mansion." Dalin honestly said what he knew, "The little one is actually not familiar with Yang Ergou, but because of working here, the maids of the girls in the building will pass by outside every day, and occasionally hear some." ”

"Yihong Mansion...... It's next door to us, right? Nie Ronghua looked through the window that had been burned out, if anyone jumped here from the cubicle of Yihong Building...... Thinking of this, she flew to the roof of the building on her tiptoes, jumping the two people standing in front of her.

Dalin looked at the master, "This princess is so powerful. ”

Lao Li slapped Da Lin on the head, "Don't hurry up and work!" This is the princess's kindness, otherwise you will have to pay a lot of money in addition to the problem when you keep vigil, do you know how much money you have to lose? ”

Da Lin lowered his head and let Lao Li beat him, "Master, I'm really not lazy. ”

"Hey! I know. "This is a princess who meets reason, if she meets a bad customer, where can she go to reason? Lao Li raised his head, looked at the princess who was walking smoothly on the top of the building, and sighed in his heart, how could a person who was not powerful dare to open a green building in the capital of the Western Han Dynasty?

With intuition, Lao Li Tou could have expected that there was a conspiracy behind this matter! Just looking at the princess's sharp gaze, she also knew that this matter could not be good.

Nie Ronghua stood on the roof of the house that was burned black, she didn't need to use force, she could float up to the spire with the help of the power of the air, I think this is what it feels like to have a body as light as a feather! If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people below, she would have wanted to float into the air to see.

Suddenly, she saw the handprint outside Yihong Building, she could think that this was the person who jumped in from the window next to her side of Yihong Building, and returned from a long way after pouring fire oil, but unfortunately, his hand rubbed the fire oil, so he left such traces, very good!

Nie Ronghua jumped down, "Where does Yang Ergou live?" ”

Dalin trotted over, "The little one will take you." He was feeling uneasy, thinking that if he made up for it, would this princess not hold herself and her master accountable.

With such a big building, they really can't afford to lose it!

"Okay, you lead the way!" She looked back at Lao Litou, "Clean up this place first, leave the materials that can be used, and throw away all the materials that can't be used, people are okay, more important than anything else." Isn't it just burning? I think you can do it again, it will be faster and better than the first time! ”

"Hey!" Lao Li nodded excitedly, "Don't worry, the little one must carefully check all the materials, but if you can go to the black skin and reuse it, it will definitely not be wasted." ”

Nie Ronghua nodded slightly, she looked at the black and swarthy tree trunk-like thing that the two of them were carrying, and suddenly raised her hand, "This is what Master Li carved yesterday?" ”

Lao Li Tou glanced back, "Hey, don't you dare to call the master, just call the old man Lao Li Tou!" It's a pity for this material! ”

Nie Ronghua suddenly laughed, "Put this aside, I'll be useful." ”

"Hey, you two, put this aside." Lao Li Tou hurriedly shouted to stop the two people, although he didn't understand what the use of this burnt wood was, but when the princess spoke, he had to obey.

Nie Ronghua turned over and looked at Dalin on the side, "Is Yang Ergou far away?" ”

"It's not far, walk out of Flower Street, and it's in the cross alley."

"Okay, then you lead the way!" Nie Ronghua took out a few pieces of broken silver from his purse and threw them to Lao Li, "Everyone has worked hard, you remember to call a table from Taibai Building, and let everyone finish eating it." "Anyway, it's all silver from Sikong Rui, if she guessed correctly, it must have something to do with which slut around him! Although she was also distressed when such silver was spent...... However, she will be coming back for more! Whoever eats her will spit it out for her!

Looking at the figure of Nie Ronghua riding away, Lao Li Tou shouted loudly: "Did you hear it?" The princess asked me to go to Taibai Mansion to call a table for you, everyone work hard! ”

"Yes!" The apprentices are working harder.

"This is it?" Nie Ronghua looked at the door in front of him, it seems that this Yang Ergou is doing well!

"This is it." Da Lin stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, but was stopped by Nie Ronghua, "Okay, you go back!" ”

"This ......" Dalin looked at the princess who was alone, and was really a little uneasy.

"Go ahead! Go and help your master, hurry up and clean up my building, I'm waiting to use it! ”

"All right, princess...... Do you want to help you report to the police? ”

Nie Ronghua smiled and shook his head, "Come back!" "Reporter? She is older than the official, and she wants to report to the official? I'm going to laugh at her!

Isn't it just Yang Ergou who has something to do with Biyue's little slut? Biyue can endure enough to clean up in front of Yang Jin, not to mention a Yang Ergou! Of course, if she can bring fire oil down from Yihong Mansion, if she wants to say that he is good at Yihong Mansion and has no strength, she doesn't believe it! Wait slowly, aunt and grandmother will clean up one by one!

Nie Ronghua's legs strained slightly, and the horse took a few steps forward, she banged heavily on the door in front of her with her whip, and an impatient voice soon came from inside, "Who! ”

The door creaked open in front of her.

Nie Ronghua's nose moved slightly, this is the smell!
