Chapter Eighty-Six: Gunpowder in the Magnolia Garden
And the ingots are the most greedy, if she was there, the pastries on the table would have been looted at the moment, the ingots like to make their own flower cakes the most, and they always begged to make their own on weekdays, but during that time she delayed again and again because she wanted to concentrate on preparing for the exam, until the ingots finally failed to eat.
Yuan Bao has a lot of strength, pick two large buckets of water at a time, and she doesn't feel tired, but she is very resistant to exercise, and she is already tired after a little jump, she is not good, knowing that Yuan Bao doesn't like it, and forcing her to practice with herself all day long, Xie Qingyu is very regretful when she thinks about it now, knowing that Yuan Bao is unwilling to lose weight and forcing Yuan Bao to eat less and do more exercise.
She used to always think that Yuanbao was five big and three coarse, loud, and unruly, but she didn't expect that Yuanbao's heart was very soft, and she just taught the two of them to write their names casually, and she didn't take it to heart anymore, but Yuanbao still remembered that Xie Qingyu would never forget the joy when Yuanbao first learned to write names.
She always said that she wanted to protect the people around her, but now she can't even keep an ingot, but she survives by relying on ingots, and now her life is not her own, but it is given by ingots.
Every time Xie Qingyu closed her eyes, she could always recall the scene of the fire, the raging fire, the thick smoke all over, she couldn't forget that when she was about to faint, it was Yuan Bao who stepped over the fire from the outside and walked to her; She couldn't forget that Yuan Bao saw that the wood was about to fall, so she didn't choose to live alone, but pushed her out; She couldn't forget that the ingots were burned all over her body at the last moment, and there was no good skin, but she still insisted on saying the last words to herself.
That sentence Miss I finally learned to write my name, Xie Qingyu knew that she would never forget it for the rest of her life, she regretted why she didn't teach Yuanbao to learn words early, why didn't she teach more words, why?
She really regretted it, if only there were regret pills sold in the world, and now she couldn't keep the body of the ingot, so she watched her being carried out of the Xie Mansion on a small wooden board, and she didn't even have a coffin.
Xie Qingyu thought that Yuan Bao would laugh for a while and cry for a while, but it frightened Qianqiu and Liu Yuehan, and the two discussed that they were about to go to the doctor, but at this moment.
Xie Qingyu began to take the initiative to put on his clothes, although the two of them were a little strange, but they didn't say anything, after all, just wearing a shirt is not very good-looking after all.
After she got dressed, she went out directly, and the two behind her didn't notice for a while, Xie Qingyu had already walked into the courtyard.
In a panic, the two quickly followed.
Xie Qingyu has been thinking that yesterday's fire was too strange, why did she not react at all at the beginning of the fire, and finally realized it when the fire was already a little bigger.
And yesterday those people said that it was just that the speed of splashing water was really slow, even if it was a coincidence, but the coincidence of this matter was too logical, and she knew that there must be some inside information.
And the best way to investigate the case is to go back to the place where the fire is burning to see what's wrong, she can't just let Yuan Bao die in vain.
After a few moments, she finally reached the door of Magnolia Garden.
In the past, when I went to school or came back from the exam, I could always see the figure of ingots, but in the future, I will never see it again.
Xie Qingyu took a deep breath and entered the Magnolia Garden, which was already in a mess at this time, although the house as a whole had not collapsed, but there was nothing left that had been burned, and the walls that were originally very white were all smoked black at the moment.
Xie Qingyu slowly approached his room, saw the window that Qianqiu pushed him out of yesterday, and went in.
At this time, although the fire has been extinguished, but the inside of the house is still very choked, all black ash, scattered in it, Xie Qingyu slowly came to the window where the ingots pushed him out yesterday.
found that this piece turned out to be a piece of cloth that had not been burned, Xie Qingyu recognized this cloth, which was on Yuanbao's body.
Xie Qingyu checked in his room and didn't find any clues, so he came out again, began to look in the courtyard, and came to his mother's room again, and found that it was also in dilapidation.
This is Liu Yuehan and Qianqiu also entered the Yulan Garden, and they don't know what Xie Qingyu is going to do in the now dilapidated courtyard, and it is inconvenient to disturb, so they have to watch it in the courtyard.
After a while, I found that Xie Qingyu was still looking for it.
"Ah Yu, you have been burned with something valuable, my mother will help you find it." When Liu Yuehan saw her daughter like this, she thought that she had been burned and that she had joined the camp to find something.
It's just that Xie Qingyu is indeed not looking for valuables, but that this fire is a man-made clue.
Qianqiu immediately went into the house to look for it, several people were looking for their own people, Xie Qingyu looked around, and found that there was no room in the house, so he walked out of the door directly and went outside the house.
Every corner was not spared, and they were inspected one by one.
"Miss, look." At this time, Qianqiu seemed to have found something, so she directly took it out and showed it to Xie Qingyu.
Xie Qingyu stretched out his hand to take it and found that it was a piece of paper, which was the piece of paper on which Yen Bao and Qianqiu wrote their names, and it was really lucky that it was not burned.
Xie Qingyu reached out and folded the paper in half, ready to put it away, but found that there was something more black on the paper, and Xie Qingyu noticed that his hands were stained with ash at some point.
Just as she was about to clap her hands to brush it off, she sniffed it strangely, but she smelled a strange smell.
Gunpowder!
Why is there gunpowder here? Xie Qingyu thought back to what corners he had just checked.
Then she went back and checked them one by one, and not far away, there was a small handful of black things, which she thought were ashes from burning wood, so she didn't care, but who knew that it was gunpowder.
She took out the rag from her clothes, put the handful of gunpowder inside, and tied it up again.
When I looked back, I found that my mother had already poured out a lot of things, including embroidery, dresses and even some jewelry, Xie Qingyu was also very surprised at the moment, where did her mother put these things before, and she checked it just now and didn't find anything.
Several people moved these things to their current residence, Shanshui Garden.
After Xie Qingyu came back, she told Liu Yuehan that she was hungry, and now she understands that yesterday's fire was man-made, and it is very likely that it was for herself, and Yuan Bao just died because of it to save herself.
Only then did she realize the danger around her, in the past, she always lived too comfortably, always thinking that she was a traverser and could control everything, but now it seems that it is because of her comfort that Yuan Bao lost his life.
Xie Qingyu secretly decided in his heart that this time he must find out who is the real culprit of this arson, and he must let her pay for her life, this is the right ingot, she is still so young, so young.
Liu Yuehan saw that her daughter was willing to eat, and immediately ordered Qianqiu to bring the food over, Xie Qingyu also thought very clearly at this time, now he is still not ruthless and strong enough, he must become stronger, and let all those who have hurt him pay the due price!
And the time for Jiucai's exam is not far away, and she has to start preparing, she doesn't believe that this fire person will not show her feet, and wants to kill herself so urgently, so the only possibility is not to let herself take the Jiucai exam.
Now she has to go, she not only wants to win the leader of Jiangnan, but she also wants to go to Beijing and become a female official in the dynasty!
Xie Qingyu has been in the house all day these days, although she eats as usual and sleeps as usual, but Liu Yuehan always feels that her daughter is different from before, she was always a little angry before, but now she is like a puppet all day long, she only knows embroidery and writing, every time Liu Yuehan goes forward to comfort her daughter, Xie Qingyu always says that she is okay and sends Liu Yuehan away.
But Liu Yuehan couldn't feel at ease, so she let Qianqiu stay by her side all day.
Xie Qingyu also got up early in the morning today, and when she woke up, Qianqiu was even more intimate to prepare all the things used for washing, Xie Qingyu washed up, and ate breakfast as usual, she also knew that her mother was worried about her, so she would ask Qianqiu to follow her all day, Xie Qingyu took out the paper full of names that Qianqiu picked up a few days ago from time to time, as if looking at these words, he felt that Yuanbao was still alive.
"Miss, drink some water." Every time Qianqiu saw the young lady take out the piece of paper to read, she was also very sad, she and Yuan Bao entered the Magnolia Garden on the same day, how could they stay together all day without deep feelings.
They were also woken up by smoke that night, and the two immediately got up and went separately to save Mrs. and Miss, but who would have thought that Yuan Bao would die in the flames.
"Qianqiu, you tell me again about the situation that night." Xie Qingyu put down the embroidery in her hand, took the tea and asked, she has been asking this question since she came back in the past few days, and Qianqiu has also answered countless times, but she is just afraid, afraid of what details she has missed.
Asaaki heard the young lady ask this, which was also expected by her, so she talked about the fire that day.
She and Yuan Bao also got up because of the smoke, but the fire in the room was not too big at that time, they hurriedly went out and saw that the room of Miss and Mrs. was already a monstrous flame, she and Yuan Bao immediately took some water from the kitchen and splashed it on their bodies, and then went into the room separately to save Mrs. and Miss, and not long after they went in, the people in the house noticed that there was smoke near Yulan Garden, so they immediately ran over to put out the fire.
"And what about before the fire? Do you find anything strange? Xie Qingyu listened to Qianqiu's words and had been pondering, she could repeat the situation of the day in her mind hundreds of times in the past few days, but she still didn't find any clues.
Except for the handful of gunpowder that day, there was not a single clue in her hand.
After listening to Miss's words, Qianqiu recalled seriously that that night, they waited for Miss and Mrs. to rest after dinner as usual, and there was nothing special about it.
After a while, it seemed that he suddenly remembered something, and Qianqiu's eyes lit up and he said.
