Chapter 288: Arson

Su Bowen undeniably put down her hairpin, put his hands on her shoulders, rested his chin on the top of her head, and rubbed it comfortingly.

"It's going to pass."

For several days in a row, there will be big or small things happening at the door of the store, and the people of Pingtou are afraid that they will be contaminated with any trouble, and pastries and snacks are not a must, so the customer flow has decreased a lot these days.

However, the pastries are still made in the usual amount, so when the number of customers decreases, most of the store has more than half of the stock left, and some of the food has a short shelf life, so there is a lot left.

Shen Baiqing has been in a bad mood recently, the business in the store has plummeted, she asked Zhao Yi to send a message to a few stores, the business should be done, but the output has been appropriately reduced according to the sales situation, there have been a lot of things recently, improvised, and something came to her to solve.

Zhao Yi passed the news to the various shopkeepers and came back to resume his life.

Shen Baiqing took a light breath and sat in the study with the account book, the room was lit with a quiet soothing incense, and the sandalwood tables and chairs were neatly placed on both sides of the outer desk, and there was a small soft collapse inside.

There is no fancy and gorgeous women's boudoir, the whole room is clean and tidy, simple and heavy.

Shen Baiqing put down the account book, "Pack a few copies of the pastries that are about to expire to the people in the store, and distribute more to the homeless beggars in the city, and dispose of the overdue ones directly." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Zhao Yi immediately went to do it.

Su Bowen walked in and saw her looking at the ledger, "How's it going?" ”

Shen Baiqing came back to her senses, "You've been very busy lately." "If you go out early and return late every day, the dragon will see the head but not the end." Don't go home until three more, busy man. ”

Su Bowen patted her head gently, "Naughty, I've been busy with the affairs of the fourth prince recently." He smiled at her, "I'm going to kick him off the clouds, so as to worry our wife." ”

Shen Baiqing was shaken by this handsome smile, "Hey, I just wanted to ask for trouble, but I didn't expect you to directly want to get him down." ”

"He's not a good guy, and his secret methods are dirty." Su Bowen's integrity made him unable to stand what the fourth prince did, especially when he bullied him. "I'll make him pay."

Zhao Yi suddenly knocked on the door, "Master Hou, madam!" The Four Princes' Mansion is on fire! ”

The Mansion of the Four Princes.

"It's out of the water! Walked the water......"

"Quick, bring water!"

For a while, the sound of panicked footsteps spread throughout the house.

The fire was in the firewood room near the warehouse, and the fire spread rapidly after it started, and the fire burst into the sky in an instant.

There was smoke burning here, and the news quickly reached Su Bowen's ears, this is a good time to change into the clothes of the servants of the Four Kings' Mansion and take advantage of the chaos to get in.

Following everyone to splash a bucket of water, Su Bowen put down the empty bucket around the corner, pulled a piece of cloth and tied it to his head, and walked to the warehouse.

At this time, the guards at the door ran to extinguish the fire, the door lock of the warehouse was opened, and when I went in, I saw boxes of medicine bags, this is it!

I carried two bags into my arms, and I was still looking for some other evidence, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, "A bunch of waste!" How could there be a sudden misfire! ”

The voice of the four princes!

Can't stay any longer, Su Bowen didn't hesitate, and ran towards the back door when he went out.

Li Ze, the guard of the fourth prince, saw a little guy masked and was about to run, "Hey, that masked one, who are you!" ”

Everyone noticed him, and the fourth prince saw what he was holding, "Bastard, catch him for me." ”

Li Ze pulled out his knife and followed, beckoning the officers and soldiers behind, "Surround him!" Stealing things to the head of the prince, bold! ”

Su Bowen paused, embattled, and maneuvered with all his kung fu, but the other party was overwhelmed, and he didn't have time to dodge Li Ze's stabbing knife, and seeing that there were obviously few people behind Li Ze, there was no way!

Facing up, Li Ze's knife cut through his arm and the medicine bag in his arms, and escaped from the palace in pain.

When he returned home, Shen Baiqing's heart was about to jump out when he saw him like this, his arms were stained with blood and a brown-gray dress, and his body was covered in gray-white powder, and the whole person looked very embarrassed.

"How did you do this!"

……

After a long time, I finally extinguished the fire in the firewood room, and looked at the firewood room in front of me that only had a shell left, and even the next few rooms were implicated, and the ashes mixed with the water flowed all over the ground, staining the usually neat brick floor, and the air was full of the unpleasant smell of burnt firewood.

The fourth prince looked at the messy subordinates and this mess, and thought of the masked man who ran out while the chaos was even worse.

"What's the use of raising you! A bunch of rubbish! ”

Li Ze knelt down on one knee and hugged his fists, "It's the subordinates who are not doing things well!" Li Ze's face was also colorful, and he didn't get a favor in Su Bowen's hands.

"Back to the prince, look at the subordinates, that figure is a bit like the ...... of the Su family"

The fourth prince raised his eyebrows, he naturally saw that the only one in this city who dared to oppose him like this was Su Bowen.

……

He Lian knocked on the door, "Madam, the fourth prince is visiting." ”

Shen Baiqing untied Su Bowen's dirty clothes, and his hands were beaten, "Why is he here?!" ”

"I didn't show my face," glancing at the bleeding arm, "I'm going to improvise." ”

Hall.

"What's the matter, your Young Master Su hasn't come out yet, and he can't see anyone?" The tea cup in the hands of the fourth prince slapped on the tea table with dark red wood grain, and there was a crisp sound.

"Back to the prince, just now the slave and maid have already gone to inform the young master's wife, and the guests must be dressed neatly." He Lian's face was calm, and she couldn't see the anxiety and panic in her heart.

"Hmph, the monk can't run away from the temple." The four princes and gods are here, and they feel that they have grabbed Su Bowen's pigtails, even if they can't bring him down, they have to let him shed his skin.

"The prince is here, I didn't expect the prince to come to the house last time, and he will appreciate his face so quickly." Su Bowen walked in with Shen Baiqing.

"I don't know which gust of wind blew the prince here." Shen Baiqing and Su Bowen sat in the main seat, and the maid retired after serving two cups of tea.

"Hmph, there was a fire in my house today, and the two of you must have known about it."

Shen Baiqing raised her eyebrows, and immediately looked shocked, "That prince is injured, if you need anything, just mention it, we will try to help." "It's my business to do as much as I can.

Both of them were very naturally shocked on their faces, and seeing this, the fourth prince couldn't stand the shelf anymore, and suddenly got up.

"Pretend, admit it, Su Bowen, you put the fire!"

"What are you talking about, my husband has been at home with me to check the accounts today, when will I be able to go to your place as a doppelganger." Shen Baiqing naturally couldn't admit it.

"Yes, this black cauldron is huge, and it is carried on my Su someone's head like this, the prince should be cautious." Su Bowen took a sip of tea, "The prince is powerful, why can't he even catch a fire thief." ”

"That thief is cunning, and my guards didn't let that person please him, so he hung up." There was a touch of pride in the eyes of the fourth prince.
