Chapter 142: Vigilance
In just an instant, Ji Qingling's expression became solemn.
Although she had always been a little suspicious, she still didn't dare to count the fire in the front yard of the inn on Gu Pingzhong's head.
I thought that this time the two women came to kidnap people just to see the fire in the front yard and take advantage of the situation, so they had other plans, after all, arson and kidnapping, although they are both crimes, but compared with the former, the latter is much lighter.
There are hundreds of people living in the front yard of the inn, if the fire cannot be controlled, the casualties will be so heavy, and the winter wind is strong, if the next house is burned, then the people of the whole street will not be able to escape. As long as one is not careful, even if he is not burned to death, but only burned, the rest of the injured person's life is almost equivalent to being ruined.
Even though Ji Qingling knew that Gu Pingzhong was not a good person, he never thought of him as evil.
Although the two brothers Gu Pingzhong and Gu Pingli have repeatedly calculated Gu Yanzhang, and they have been making many small moves towards themselves, but this is just for their own selfish desires, for the sake of wealth, even if you live or die, it is still a struggle between the two families.
For the sake of a monstrous wealth and a loss of one or two lives, since they are bastards, it is not too surprising to do such a thing.
But if he was able to kill so many people just for the sake of captive a woman, he would no longer be an ordinary wicked person.
Set fire to the house, hurt the innocent, his human heart can be imagined, I am afraid that he will break his tail to survive, and the dog will jump off the wall in a hurry!
Ji Qingling lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Rosin Xiang: "When the day dawns, you go to ask for a doctor, and after sending people back, you won't be busy coming back, go to the teahouse on East Street to sit down, and chat with those idlers who drink tea and play chess......"
She suppressed the apprehension in her heart and continued: "You just said, I heard that the fire on this street last night was set by the Gu family in Tingyi Lane...... I also heard that not only this place, but also the fire in the fire city many times before, and the water on East Street a while ago were all put by the Gu family...... Just for everyone to buy his house's house materials, bricks, and fire appliances......"
"Be careful when you speak, don't reveal your identity, just sit for tea and leave."
Rosin was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, he thought about it, and said excitedly: "Girl, this may not be true!" ”
This argument sounds ridiculous at first glance, but when you think about it, what is impossible!
I just didn't think that I had just seen the fire fold in Qiu Shuang's hand, and heard her say that again, who couldn't guess that the fire last night was put by Gu Pingzhong!
Such a bad person, one fire can be released, but two or three can't be released?
They murdered Gu Yanzhang for the family property behind him, so now the price of house materials, bricks and tiles in Yanzhou City is one price a day, and it can already fly to the sky, burn one more street, and make several times more than ten times the money.
What can't such a wicked person do!
If you want to put a handful of rumors, rosin doesn't feel inappropriate at all.
This is bad for bad people, not false accusations.
That Gu family did set fire!
Several people sat down and told them all about their actions, but they didn't find anything that needed to be remedied, and then they dispersed.
As soon as the two scholars left, the three people in the house washed up and took care of the injuries briefly, although they were still excited, but they couldn't bear it in the middle of the night, so they had to rest.
This time, Qiu Shuang slept outside, Qiu Yue slept softly inside, and Ji Qingling lay on the bed alone.
Many thoughts went through her mind, and some of them couldn't sleep.
Although she knew that Gu Pingzhong and Gu Pingli were innocent, and it was a last resort to arrange for Rosin to spread rumors on the street, she was still a little uneasy.
This method is used to arouse public anger and attract the hearts and minds of the people, so that the people who have been harmed by the fire in the market will stare at the two brothers of the Gu family and the yamen, so that even if they want to do more actions in private and bribe more officials, they must be more restrained in the face.
If it gets a big fuss, even if the two uncles of the Gu family are willing to give up more money, no one in the state will dare to help.
She is not weak in her calculation of the two thieves of the Gu family, but she is borrowing the power of the people in the market.
In fact, this is already a bit of a deception and exploitation.
Ji Qingling was a little apprehensive, but quickly cheered himself up.
It doesn't matter, instigating arson is already a mortal crime, and I didn't frame the other party, and besides, this is just for self-preservation, not to hurt others.
Although I am a little sorry for the people of Yanzhou, there is really no way. In the future, after the inventory of the fields and shops in Yanzhou City is completed, she will bring back the original property of the Ji family, and then donate the interest to those who have suffered from the fire to help them rebuild their houses, which can be regarded as repayment.
It's really not good, when the fifth brother comes back, discuss with him again, and take a little from the money and things that the two of them saved.
After making up her mind, Ji Qingling's mood gradually settled down, and then she felt that the noise in the hospital was quite loud, and it was very difficult to sleep.
The west courtyard is the same as the front yard of the inn, the house is wooden, and even the wall is only wooden and bricked, and the sound at that end is louder, and this end can be heard.
The house where Ji Qingling lives is very close to the well, and the house next to it was originally used to place the cage, and today there was a woman who was going to give birth here, so she sent someone to clean up the things there and vacate the room to the other party to facilitate the drawing of water.
The two rooms were not far apart, and the woman's cries of pain, crying, and moaning faintly came, making Ji Qingling feel hung in his heart when he heard it.
She was about to fall asleep with the voice of the mother, and was awakened by fright, and spent the rest of the night half-squinting.
Not to mention that Ji Qingling couldn't sleep all night, and the front hall of Tingyi Lane was also brightly lit.
It was past the ugly time, and Gu Pingzhong still didn't sleep.
Today's plan was actually decided early on, and it didn't take much effort.
For him, this is not a big deal, but it is just a fire set off by someone, taking advantage of the chaos to rob a little woman, how many more powerful things have been done before, where is he afraid of this time, and there is a younger brother who leads many family members to sit in the town.
But for some reason, Gu Pingzhong has always been a little anxious, and always feels that as long as the daughter of the Ji family is not sent over for a while, he will not be able to relax for a while.
He stayed here just as a vigilance.
Gu Pingzhong's vigilance was not in vain, and after a while, the eyeliner he had planted in the inn ran back to report the news.
An ordinary-looking little guy stood in front of Gu Pingzhong, sweating profusely, panting heavily, he almost didn't even have time to salute, so he hurriedly said: "Master, the second master and the two aunts were arrested by the yamen, and eight people from our family were also arrested together, saying that they were identified as arson!" ”
Gu Pingzhong sat on the chair, and for a moment, he only felt that he was in a dream, and he hadn't woken up yet.
How can it be!!!
It took him a cup of tea to recover, and he almost immediately shouted outside, "Gu Lin!" Call Gu Lin!! ”
A moment later, a tall, thin middle-aged man hurried through the door.
Gu Pingzhong hurriedly explained a few words, handed him a sealed letter, and said, "Go to Zheng Zhisi's mansion, go immediately, don't delay for a moment!" ”
