In the Ji Mansion at night, without the red, red, green and green lively aunts, it always seems more cold and quiet.

It is said that Gui Mingyue should sleep more sweetly in such a night, who knows that this day and night, she has been a little restless, drank the tortoiseshell porridge for the fetal nourishment, but she couldn't sleep when she was lying on the bed, and she knew that she fell asleep in the middle of the night.

That night, when the entire Bianliang City fell into a deep sleep about the fourth watch, the west courtyard of the Ji Mansion was once again on fire.

The spring day was dry, the wind was strong, and the fire seemed to be filled with fuel to support combustion, and it was as prosperous as a beast with teeth and claws. In the end, the fire engulfed the entire West Courtyard, in the face of such a fire, the people of the Ji family who were choked up by the smoke were helpless, and the people of the entire Ji Mansion had to watch it burn, the second lady Ji accompanied the old lady Ji sighed, and Gui Caiwei had an inexplicable cold smile on the corner of her mouth, but the sixth aunt and Aunt Ru and the third young master Ji Yunzhe were really anxious and frightened, shouting to fight the fire, but everything was in vain.

The southeast wind blew at night, and the work in the west courtyard spread to several small courtyards in the southwest, but fortunately, there were a few aunts who originally lived in those courtyards, but now they are idle, and there is nothing to burn, and the fire burned to the lotus pond in the south before it was extinguished.

Looking at the west courtyard again, not to mention the living people inside, there are not even the bones of flowers, grasses, fish and insects.

The sixth aunt and Aunt Ru called the eldest young grandmother and cried loudly, and the third young master also frowned, looking thoughtfully at these women with different faces.

"Hey, it's burned so much, and it's going to cost money to repair it again," Second Lady Ji sighed and frowned: "This Western Courtyard is also evil, and since the Gui clan lived, there have been two fires in a row...... Is it a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? ”

The old lady was woken up at night, a little tired, and instructed lightly: "The second one's family, hurry up and find a craftsman to repair the yard when it is dawn," and turned to the housekeeper and said: "Also, this matter should not be publicized, it is not good for the Ji Mansion to go out." Back home...... Comfort and comfort."

The biggest headache at the moment is the return home, their daughter was burned to death, and even the bones were burned to ashes, which is really difficult to explain to people.

"Yes, the old lady can rest assured, she is now a well-known family in the capital, so she shouldn't be messing around." The butler bowed and said.

Hmph, I hope so, the old lady snorted coldly, this is really not the time for Mingyue to die, in this way, Yushan's title deed returned home like this, and she felt pain when she thought about it.

The old lady here is distressed about the title deed, and the second lady is distressed about the cost of repairing the yard.

The sixth aunt over there was sad and had a serious illness.

"Sixth aunt, don't be sad, you see that your typhoid fever is going to get better, this is sick again, you don't want to think about yourself, but also for the sake of the little master." If her aunt persuaded her, she couldn't stop wiping her tears.

No one thought that the young grandmother who was still talking and laughing with everyone yesterday was gone, along with the child in her belly.

What kind of world is this, good people are burned to death, but vicious people are alive and well.

The two inevitably cried to each other again.

"Then, the box that the young grandmother entrusted to you, will you still give it to the old lady?" Aunt Ru wiped her tears and asked, this old lady of theirs is a real person with a thin temperament.

The sixth aunt sneered, and her pale face showed a trace of ruthlessness that she had never seen before, whether this box should be handed over or not, it is another matter.

Speaking of which, this young grandmother don't look domineering and uninhibited, but she has a good idea, a few days ago, she put the deed of many shops and a lot of land deeds and the document of the land deed, handed it over to herself, saying that the situation of Jifu is not good, let herself hand over to the old lady for her if necessary, and at that time he also joked that she was explaining the future.

I didn't expect her to say a prophecy.

The sixth aunt couldn't help but hate her crow's mouth, and even more hated the coldness and ruthlessness of everyone in this house.

A fire changed the hearts of the people of Jifu, especially a few days later, there was a rumor that the late young grandmother had hidden a treasure in the house.

In the main courtyard of Jifu, it is now more and more deserted.

Gui Caiwei walked here, feeling cautious for no reason. Especially when I entered this black hole room, I saw a person sitting in white clothes and hair, if it wasn't for the daylight, Gui Caiwei really thought she had seen a ghost.

"You...... What are you looking for me? Gui Caiwei sniffed her heart and stammered.

"Sit down," a strange tone came out, she was Ji Yini, the eldest daughter of the most beautiful Ji Mansion in the past, and then her own mother, Mrs. Ji, was beheaded, she went crazy, tried to attack Gui Mingyue in prison, was dragged by the jailer and whipped a few times, and when she came back, she went crazy.

After being released from prison, she has been kept in the main courtyard on weekdays, but she didn't expect that today she would ask people to call herself over, and Gui Caiwei looked at her with courage.

"Hehe, I'll just say, you're really pretending to be crazy." Gui Caiwei sneered.

"Yes, I'm pretending to be crazy, how many people in this world are sober," Ji Yini returned to normal, said lightly, stared at Gui Caiwei with burning eyes in a blink of an eye, and said word by word: "If you are not crazy, can you set fire to the West Courtyard and burn your second sister to death?" ”

Laughing out loud as he spoke, the laughter was only creepy.

"You...... Why do you say that I set the fire, I can't even enter the door of the west courtyard, how can I set the fire? Gui Caiwei argued.

"Tie the fire seeds mixed with oil residue to the bamboo sticking out of the corner of the wall, and throw them into the firewood room in the west courtyard, and the firewood room is piled up with the charcoal fire left over from the burning dragon in winter, and it is impossible for this fire to be big or prosperous...... Don't be afraid, I won't tell you about setting the fire, as long as you help me do something......" A smile appeared on Ji Yini's pale and thin face, which made people even more panicked.

"I didn't, I said it wasn't me, you found the wrong person." Gui Caiwei said and almost crawled out of the main courtyard.

Ji Yini looked at her hasty back and smiled.

A few days later, another slightly terrifying incident happened in Jifu, which made everyone talk about it.

That is a girl named Magpie next to Miss Gan Gui Caiwei, somehow in her sleep, the whole person suddenly caught fire, and some people watched her turn into a black charcoal in an instant. Her young lady, Gui Caiwei, fainted in fright when she saw her corpse.

After waking up, it was better to walk around with Miss Ji, who was crazy and well in the main courtyard.

Since the rumor that there was a treasure hidden in that mansion spread, the appalling strange things in the Ji Mansion have been one after another.

First of all, the old lady had a stroke and collapsed, and the second lady Ji in the second room was caught for putting the money in the private store of the money, and there was a strange thing that a charming fourth aunt in the Ji Mansion actually hooked up with a rich old squire from other places, and took her son to the people's house, not to mention, I heard that when I arrived at the old squire's house, I squeezed out the original match of the family, and it was also a good means to make one person bigger.

Then again, Miss Gan Gui Caiwei actually poisoned Ji Yunzhe, the third young master in the house, but fortunately she didn't succeed, she was caught red-handed, and confessed in prison that everything she did was instructed by the crazy and good Miss Ji......

In the end, these two young ladies were imprisoned, and they were blamed for their bad luck, and soon after, the imperial court restored the official position of the third young master of Jifu, and the crime of both of them changed from attempted poisoning to premeditated poisoning of the imperial court officials, and had to be sentenced to exile.

……

All of this is only half a month away from the fire in the West Courtyard.

On the official road from Hezhong to Lanzhou, a long team of darts was escorting their most important and distinguished guest, a merchant and his retinue of wives and concubines.

"Owner, I'll be in Lanzhou City in half a day." Boss Long said loudly.

"You still can't remember the dragon dart head after walking all the way, don't call me the owner, call me Mrs. Ming." The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a small hand as white as jade, revealing a face that was extremely bright, especially the eyes that flew obliquely.

"Hehe, it's not coming, let your guard down, yes! Mrs. Ming! Boss Long said.

"Madam, but you are tired, will you lie down and rest again?" Yinshen'er felt sorry for his wife's big belly and had to drive tiringly.

"Oh, Xianggong, everyone is bored, I want to ride a horse!" Gui Mingyue hugged Yinshen'er's arm and shook it.

The silver pendant with a mustache is her "Xianggong", obviously a very beautiful girl, just because she is taller and colder, she is forced to pretend to be "Xianggong".

Gui Mingyue was even more happy to tease her along the way.

"Xianggong, we also want to ride horses." The two "little concubines" also mixed in and rolled coquettishly.

"Jin Qi'er, tortoiseshell, you two stop, don't take the bad lady!" Silver Pendant slapped away their hands and snorted.

"Hey, this way is really good, there are delicious and fun places to pass, Miss, you see I'm fat! Hee-hee! The tortoiseshell was overjoyed, pinched the flesh on her waist by the way, and said proudly.

"When you get to Lanzhou City, you are not allowed to eat so much, no matter how fat you are, you won't be able to get married." Gui Mingyue teased her.

"Hey, master, the tortoiseshell doesn't want to marry, even if you marry, don't marry someone from their Central Plains, maybe you will be poisoned and burned to death by those concubines that day......" The tortoiseshell couldn't help but feel palpitations when she looked at the red, green, and green concubines in the Ji Mansion.

"Yes, I don't know what happened to Ji Mansion now," Gui Mingyue said lightly and casually.

"Who cares what happens to him, in short, bad people have their own bad people to grind, and the bad things they do will be retributed one day." Jin Qi'er said hatefully, although they were anxious to take advantage of this fire to get out, but thinking of the person who intended to control them and death, she longed to dismantle her to relieve the hatred in her heart.

That day, the young grandmother didn't sleep well, so she thought about going to the kitchen with the tortoiseshell and the two to make some soothing soup for the young grandmother, who happened to hear the strange sound of movement outside the courtyard wall, and quietly ran out of the yard to see, it was the magpie trembling enough bamboo, and also tied the spark seeds on the bamboo tip......

I wanted to catch her on the spot, but I was stopped by Yinshen'er, and after waking up the young grandmother, the young grandmother decided to plan on the spot, and escaped from the secret passage of the warehouse with the big guy while the fire was burning.

Gui Mingyue first went back home, said goodbye to her parents and brothers, settled down Grandma Cheng, Qiao'er and others, and then took Jin Qi'er and them to the Guilong Dart Bureau, Long Boss They didn't expect the owner to come out in advance as planned.

But fortunately, they were prepared, and the entire dart bureau escorted Gui Mingyue and them out of the city overnight.

So far, in this Bianliang City, not only is there a young grandmother of Jifu who is rich and rivaling the country, but also a powerful Guilong Dart Bureau has disappeared out of thin air.
