Zheng almost fainted from crying, Lan Zhili turned his head to look at Zhao Yancheng and said, "I want to deal with family matters, you go and wait for me first-"

Zhao Yan was also a little hesitant, but he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable when he saw Lan Bo lying on the bed like that, so he also turned around and left.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yancheng only felt that someone next to him exclaimed: "Go to the water-go to the water-"

Zhao Yancheng was shocked, and hurriedly rushed out, sure enough, the room just now had already ignited a raging fire, because the wind was not in the right direction, he didn't even notice it.

He looked around, but he couldn't see Lan Zhili and the Zheng family, so he panicked, and a bad premonition came to his heart, and he said loudly: "Save people!" There's someone in there—"

There is no water source in the vicinity, and the water taken out by each family is stored at home, and the flames cannot be extinguished.

Zhao Yancheng clenched his fists, he came this time to investigate the Gu poison, if something happened to someone who knew about it, wouldn't it be impossible to find out anything?

Thinking so, he snatched the bucket from the hands of the people beside him, poured the bucket full of ice water on himself, and was about to rush in, but he didn't want his arm to be pulled by a soft hand.

Zhao Yancheng turned around, and saw Jiang Shi looking at him with teary eyes, shook his head at him, and said softly: "It's too late, it's very dangerous for you to go in now-"

Peng Yu also arrived in time with the soldiers guarding the city, and when Jiang saw that there were more and more people, he loosened Zhao Yancheng's sleeves.

At this time, in the house, Zheng and Lan Zhili snuggled together, sitting in front of Lan Bo's bed, Zheng suddenly said: "Master, the concubine has been with you for decades, but I don't want our family to end up like this." ”

Lan Zhili had a little tenderness on his face, and he didn't know if it was Jiang Shi's words that woke him up, or if Lan Bo's death made him have to face the lies he had been lying about.

The temperature around him is getting more and more, and through the steaming heat, he saw Zhao Yancheng's eagerness, and a little happy, that secret, maybe Tuoba Yue will never know.

He turned his gaze, and suddenly saw Jiang Shi standing behind the crowd, her face was full of worry, but the gaze was not aimed at them, it was Zhao Yancheng?

Lan Zhili suddenly realized that from the very beginning, if the Jiang family spoke for Zhao Yancheng in front of him, he should be vigilant.

It turned out that everything started at that time, and it turned out that from that time, the smoke continued to be inhaled into his lungs, and Lan Zhili only felt that his consciousness began to blur.

The sound of something falling to the ground, Lan Zhili turned his head, only to see that Zheng had already fainted due to suffocation.

Lan Zhili walked over and stopped Zheng in his arms, a fire had spread to the bed, the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and some soldiers tried to rush in to save people, but they were all stopped by the fire.

Lan Zhili chuckled, not knowing if he was laughing at their incompetence or his own defeat.

In a trance, he seemed to see two women in palace clothes dressed repeatedly, they stood hand in hand, like a pair of lotus flowers standing out of the water, such similar eyebrows and eyes, he wanted to stretch out his hand, but the faces of the two were indifferent.

The two turned around suddenly, Lan Zhili seemed to want to catch up, but he didn't have the slightest strength, yes, it was his daughter, he should have become a tool for the Lan family to pave the way, they hated themselves and would never forgive themselves.

There is a feeling of *, it is the smell of burnt skin and flesh, I don't know why, Lan Zhili in the last moment of his life, actually thought of some things, those things that he almost forgot, such a once prosperous century-old family, did that woman also die in the fire?

It turns out that this is the feeling, it's really a trick to make people-

With a bang, the ridge of the roof overhead could not withstand the flames*, and collapsed with a bang, and the splashed sparks scattered in all directions, like warm yellow fireflies.

Zhao Yancheng was almost out of strength and sat on the side with Peng Yu's support.

Guo Pingben was preparing for tomorrow's affairs, heard the news, hurried over, and saw Ning Yi, the two came to the place where the fire broke out together, someone informed Zhao Yancheng in advance, Zhao Yancheng suddenly looked at Jiang Shi and said: "Settle this lady first, she lost her family, and it is not easy to suffer any more blows at this time." ”

Zhao Yancheng's subordinates didn't have any suspicions, so they did as Zhao Yancheng instructed.

But he didn't want Jiang to leave the scene yet, but he was bumped into by Qi Xiao who came first, Qi Xiao saw Jiang and said busily: "Madame stay-"

Zhao Yancheng was startled, and suddenly thought of something, and he didn't have time to stop it, so he heard Jiang Shi shout angrily: "What are you going to do?" Let me go! ”

Zhao Yancheng felt more and more that things were not good, so he said to Qi Xiao: "Qi Xiao, what are you doing!" ”

Qi Xiao said with an ugly face: "My lord, my subordinates must allow my subordinates to take this lady down to investigate." ”

Originally, because of this fire, many people gathered around, many of whom often worked with the Lan family, but now when they saw that the Jiang family was treated like this, they whispered.

One of the little girls, biting her lower lip, held her mother tightly with her hand, and looked in the direction of Jiang with a serious face.

Zhao Yancheng stepped forward and said unhappily: "Qi Xiao, the evidence must be conclusive for bringing sinners, you have no evidence now, and this lady's family has suffered another accident, is it too much for you to do this!" ”

Qi Xiao had stubbornness on his face, and said seriously: "My lord, I really go through a procedure, if this lady is really frank, how can I be afraid of my subordinates asking, and I am afraid that this house will not be able to live in people, but there is a place for the command of the Shi Mansion——"

Zhao Yancheng's face was extremely ugly, if he really took the steps of interrogation, he was afraid that tomorrow's plan would not be realized, thinking like this, he stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Qi Xiao, you don't want to make trouble for this official, this official still has some old things to ask her, what is there to talk about tomorrow-"

Qi Xiao's expression was slightly relaxed, and he just wanted to take a half step back, but he didn't want a weak voice to sound from the crowd: "I saw - it was her - she killed her sister -"

Qi Xiao was stunned, and hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a little child standing there at a loss, her mother's face was full of astonishment and surprise, and she pulled the little girl closer to her side, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Go, come home with me. ”

As he spoke, he pulled the little girl's arm and walked in the other direction, Qi Xiao suddenly remembered that when he was investigating, the child had been hiding in the corner and secretly following him several times, but he just thought that the child thought it was fun, so he didn't take it to heart, but now it seems that the child obviously saw something.

Qi Xiao chased in that direction, Jiang was still immersed in shock, Zhao Yancheng waved his hand and said, "Disperse, disperse." ”

But everyone didn't leave, they exchanged heads and whispered, no one could have imagined that Jiang, who seemed weak and calm in the past, would be a murderer.

At this time, Guo Ping had already arrived with Ning Yi, and someone had already told Guo Ping and Ning Yi that this matter was not about Ning Yi's affairs, so he didn't want to interfere, but Guo Ping was very embarrassed, he was the parent official of Xizhou, and now there was a death on the boundary of Xizhou, he should uphold justice and give the people an explanation.

But at the same time, he is Zhao Yancheng's subordinate, if Zhao Yancheng doesn't want to pursue this matter, he can't embarrass him clearly.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to suppress this matter first, and wait for Ning Yi to deal with it as appropriate after leaving.

With a conclusion in his heart, he raised his voice and said: "Although a girl's words are not to be believed, since there are witnesses, we must investigate carefully, so let's send Second Mrs. Lan to live in the post house for a few days, and wait until the truth of the matter is clarified." ”

Zhao Yancheng's heart was relieved, and his expression when he looked at Guo Ping was also a little kind.

But he didn't want to, Qi Xiao said: "My lord, I don't think I need to, the evidence is conclusive, I should be imprisoned immediately-"

Zhao Yancheng suddenly felt a little bored, Ning Yi also looked in the direction of Qi Xiao with great interest, only to see him holding the girl in his arms, striding over, and then knelt on the ground and said sincerely: "This child went out with abdominal pain that night, and saw Second Mrs. Lan entangled with a person who looked like a soldier, and said something like marrying, and then Second Mrs. Lan stabbed the man with a knife from behind, she was frightened, she wanted to go home, but she didn't want to be weak and couldn't move at all, and soon saw her come with Xiao Lan, It seemed that Xiao Lan was very anxious, she repeated her old trick, covered Xiao Lan's mouth and nose from behind, and suffocated him to death. ”

Jiang's voice trembled and said, "Nonsense - girl, your aunt is good to you, why are you making up these lies to frame your aunt?" ”

Jiang Shi seemed to want to walk towards the little girl step by step, and the little girl took a few steps back at first, but suddenly sat on the ground and cried loudly: "I didn't lie—I didn't lie, after you left, I was afraid of being in a hurry, and I wanted to go home, but I was worried about my sister, so I crawled over to see how she was, and then—and then—I saw—saw my sister's head move, and she coughed up blood, and then said to me—said—"

Jiang didn't expect that she didn't solve Xiaolan at once, she looked at the girl with a gloomy expression, only to see the girl crying desperately: "She told me because she knew the secret that you were going to elope with someone else, she begged you to take her away, she wanted me to ask you, why did you lie to her?" Is it because she sees something she shouldn't see, she deserves to die? ”

The girl burst into tears, obviously afraid of being in a hurry, and she was not old enough to say such a thing, Zhao Yancheng's expression became more and more ugly, he didn't expect this matter to be so big by Qi Xiao, but as soon as he thought that Qi Xiao was in charge of this case at his own behest, he felt more and more that he was lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.
