Chapter 872: Burning

Su Jin turned around and saw flames rising in the direction of the Peony Courtyard.

I didn't expect the Peony Courtyard to catch fire.

The fire of the Peony Courtyard illuminates the night like day.

The night is indeed a little more beautiful.

She looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "It won't be you who let people set the fire, right?" ”

"I didn't let people put this one," Xie Jingchen said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚β€

Not this one?

Is there another handful to hear this?

Su Jin looked into the distance and saw that the courtyard not far from the Peony Courtyard was also on fire.

That direction......

Su Jin couldn't help but laugh.

That's the Peony Garden.

The lord of Nanzhang was unwilling to let the Peony Courtyard live in the princess, and burned it clean, leaving the princess with a broken wall, giving himself an outlet for his evil anger.

But she didn't expect that her little abacus was all guessed by Xie Jingchen, and when she set fire to steal fun, she set fire to the Peony Garden.

The Peony Courtyard is just an empty courtyard, burned down, and the princess can rebuild it according to her own wishes.

But the things in the peony garden are all things from the lord of Nanzhang.

Look at this fire, why do you have to burn it?

After the Peony Courtyard caught fire, the lord of Nanzhang rushed to the Peony Courtyard in a hurry to show that he had nothing to do with the fire, so that people could quickly extinguish the fire.

It's just that when she went to the peony courtyard with her front foot, the peony medicine garden on her back foot caught fire.

By the time the county lord of Nanzhang led people back to the Peony Garden, the fire was no longer under control.

Now that the housekeeper is in the hands of Su Jin, two courtyards in the palace are on fire one after another, this matter is not trivial, and Su Jin can't help but ask.

With the mood of watching the excitement, Su Jin arrived in front of the Peony Garden, the face of the county lord of Nanzhang was ugly, Su Jin couldn't find any words to describe it, and everything he could find was not elegant.

The maid carried water to extinguish the fire, and Su Jin saw it, "Why is it on fire?" ”

The county lord of Nanzhang glanced over suddenly.

If the eyes could kill, at that moment, Su Jin would have died a few times.

Xie Jingchen was standing beside Su Jin, and the prince and princess also came over.

The dark guard came over with an oil drum and said, "Lord Wang, this oil drum was found in the grass at the foot of the Peony Courtyard wall, and someone deliberately set fire to the Peony Courtyard. ”

Xie Jingchuan's face turned pale.

Stupid as a pig!

I don't know if this oil drum is thrown in the house and burned together?!

Well.

Not only this one, but there is also one in the Peony Garden.

Just when the prince asked people to find out who brought this oil drum into the house, another small guy also came over with an oil drum.

The two oil drums are exactly the same.

However, this one was only found in the lotus pond.

Probably because the fall was too hard, the oil drum broke, the oil overflowed, and it floated on the water, which can be seen at a glance.

How the Peony Courtyard caught fire, everyone knows it, and they don't need to check it.

But the peony garden was also on fire, and the maids and women couldn't figure it out.

Nanzhang County's main burning of the Peony Courtyard is for the Hanqi Princess, but isn't it crazy to burn your own things?

But like the oil drum, the time of ignition is about the same.

The peony garden was engulfed by the fire little by little, and the lord of Nanzhang County couldn't stand still, but he didn't say a word to ask the prince to find out who set the fire to give her a fair word.

Because she knows very well that this matter will only be a result in the end, and she will suffer it by herself.

But the lord of Nanzhang didn't let the prince check, so didn't the prince check?

Overnight, two courtyards were burned in Zhenbei Wangfu, and the fire was so great that the whole of Kyoto could see it.

This is because he is worried about being at home, not going to court, and not letting the emperor ask a word.

The prince holds the military power, and his mansion is inexplicably burned and can't be found clearly, at least it is just a family matter, and at the worst it is a state affair.

If you can't protect your own mansion, how can you protect your family and the country?

The palace has a lot of people, but it can't stand the two courtyards being burned together, and the prince doesn't dare to transfer everyone to put out the fire, lest someone take advantage of the loophole and steal into the study.

Xie Jingchuan asked everyone to extinguish the fire in the Peony Medicine Garden.

No one objected to his proposal.

Since the Peony Courtyard has been burned, it is better to burn it thoroughly, tear it down and rebuild it, and the princess will be happier to live, lest there will be traces of the life of the lord of Nanzhang in the corners and corners.

But even if all the maids and daughters came to the Peony Garden to extinguish the fire, they couldn't save the Peony Garden.

The fire engulfed everything.

The fire burned until the middle of the night.

Although the Peony Medicine Garden is big, it can't stand a bunch of maids and little maids, and it can't help but bump into Su Jin, Xie Jingchen took Su Jin back early, although Su Jin still wanted to see it for a while.

Reluctantly returned to Agarwood Xuan, the secret guard jumped in from the window, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and put them on the table.

Su Jin looked at the dark guard.

The dark guard said silently, "This is the silver ticket of the county lord of Nanzhang, it would be a pity to burn it down, so I will take it all." ”

Anything other than the silver ticket, the dark guard didn't touch it.

Those gold and silver ingots cannot be burned by fire.

Xing'er happily picked up the silver ticket and counted it, and said, "Girl, there are thirty-five thousand four hundred taels." ”

"It's quite rich," Su Jin said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚β€

The dark guard thought that Nanzhang County had been in charge of the middle feed for so many years, and all the oil and water scavenged from it should have gone to the princess.

Su Jin rewarded the dark guard with 1,000 taels.

For the rest, Su Jin gave it to Xie Jingchen, and Xie Jingchen raised his eyebrows, "Give it to me?" ”

"I don't know if I can count it for you," Su Jin said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦γ€‚β€

"When you go to the border gate, bring these silver tickets, there are not many places to spend money in the barracks, but it is the place where you are most short of money."

"You should think of it as helping the lord of Nanzhang County accumulate virtue and do good."

Use the money of the county lord of Nanzhang to buy people's hearts, if the county lord of Nanzhang knows about it, I am afraid that he will be angry to death.

Xie Jingchen asked the secret guard to take the silver ticket and put it away.

Su Jin sat down to drink tea, she looked at Xie Jingchen and said, "Is there a follow-up?" ”

"Go to bed early today, and watch the excitement tomorrow."

After all, the Peony Courtyard and the Peony Garden are on fire, and it is claimed that it was only caused by the maid accidentally knocking over the lamp and candle, so no one will believe such a statement.

Xie Jingchuan almost killed Su Jin that day.

This tone, I haven't been looking for a chance to come out.

This time, he will be ruined.

Su Jin could probably guess what Xie Jingchen was doing.

But Su Jin didn't expect Xie Jingchen to do more than she could have imagined.

She thought that the fire in the Peony Garden was set by the secret guard.

After all, he was Xie Jingchen's most trusted person, and the secret guard brought back all the silver tickets, indicating that he had been to the Peony Medicine Garden.

But what Su Jin didn't expect was that the fire in the Peony Garden was set by Xie Jingchuan's people.

The secret guard just asked him to bring two barrels back when Xie Jingchuan's servant went to buy fire oil to bring into the mansion.

One bucket was used to burn the peony courtyard, and the other bucket was poured outside the peony garden.

The Peony Courtyard is on fire, and the spearhead is directed to the county lord of Zhang, but if the peony medicine garden is also on fire, it can also clear the suspicion of the county lord of Nanzhang.

The dark guard was disguised as Xie Jingchuan's personal servant, and the stupid little guy didn't doubt it at all, and felt that he was so thoughtful.

As long as the fire is extinguished in time, it will not burn down the Peony Garden, and it can also clear the suspicion of the Nanzhang County Lord, which is the best of both worlds.

In order not to be discovered, the little guy sneaked into the peony garden and splashed the fire oil on the wall.

After the Peony Courtyard caught fire, he set fire to the Peony Garden, and then quickly left the palace according to the instructions of the secret guard and found a place to hide.

The guards rewarded him with twenty taels of silver.

If it doesn't get a big deal, he'll come back.

If it gets big, he will fly away.

Obviously, the little guy has no chance to fly away.

The Peony Courtyard is on fire, the three mothers and sons of the Nanzhang County Lord are the most suspicious, the people of the Nanzhang County Lord are out of the house, who brought things into the house, who is missing, you will know it when you check it.

Manager Li led people to arrest the little guy back and interrogate him on the spot.

As soon as the twenty boards were hit, the little guy made a move to burn the Peony Courtyard and the Peony Garden.

Xie Jingchuan burned the Peony Courtyard for his mother, and was afraid that people would suspect the Lord of Nanzhang, so he pretended to burn the Peony Garden, but he really burned the Peony Garden.

As soon as word spreadβ€”

How many people sympathize with the lord of Nanzhang County for giving birth to a stupid son.
