Chapter 308: Buried in the Fire

The peaceful life has not passed for a few days, and the people behind the scenes that Zhou Jiangong went to see have not been able to find out, and a sudden incident happened like thunder on the ground, which happened in Zhou Yuanhou's mansion, but this incident completely crushed the old marquis, and he fell directly into bedridden.

That night, Li Yue was sleeping vaguely, and was suddenly awakened by the noise coming from outside, Li Yue was groggy in Li Yun's arms, heard the movement outside, and said vaguely, "It's so noisy outside." ”

Li Yun also woke up, stretched out his hand and lit the lampstand next to the bed, and then patted Li Yue's back in his arms, "You stay well, I'll go out and have a look." ”

disturbed her sleeping, Li Yue closed her eyes and pouted dissatisfiedly, turned over, wrapped in a tight quilt, Li Yun shook her head funny, closed the gap on the side of the quilt for Li Yue, and before she could get up, she heard Li Zhong's hurried voice outside, "Childe, the Buddha hall is in the back, and Mrs. Hou Ye is trapped inside." ”

Listening to Li Zhong's words, Li Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly put on his clothes.

Li Yue listened to Li Zhong's words outside, and she was not sober-minded, and repeated vaguely, "What is the water?" ”

Immediately, Li Yue quickly sat up and asked uncertainly, "Walking water, is it a fire?" ”

Li Yun nodded, saw Li Yue sitting like this in a mattress, frowned slightly and said, "Lie down, I'll take a look, and I'll be back in a while." ”

Li Yue also began to put on her clothes, and said in her mouth, "I'll go with you to have a look." ”

Li Yun saw that Li Yue had already put on his shirt, so he didn't stop it, what happened last time, he basically didn't let Li Yue stay alone, since she wanted to go and follow her, Li Yun was more relieved.

The two quickly got dressed in twos and tightened, and then quickly went out, Li Zhong was waiting at the door at this time, Li Yun pulled Li Yue out, wrapped Li Yue tightly in a cloak, and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

When the two of them arrived at the scene, they found that this group was far more serious than they imagined, the entire Buddhist hall had been flooded by fire, the surrounding area was already full of people, and there were also families carrying buckets back and forth to fetch water to extinguish the fire, but the water was only a drop in the bucket for the fire in front, and it was impossible to extinguish it.

At this time, many members of the Zhou family stood on the periphery of the fire, crying and shouting the old lady, but whether it was true or false, whether it was really sad or pretending to be sad, only they themselves knew.

Li Yun and Li Yue came over to see this meeting, and they knew that Mrs. Hou was definitely still inside.

Li Yun and Li Yue's faces were not very good at this time, although this Mrs. Hou was an accomplice to Li Yun's grandfather and mother, and she deserved to be buried in the fire, and there was nothing to sympathize with, but this was not good news for them.

The eldest prince didn't make any moves, and this lady died in the fire so suddenly, and their clues were likely to be broken again.

Cut off the clue and kill people?

Li Yun and Li Yue looked at each other at the same time, and when they saw each other's eyes, they knew that the two of them must have tacitly thought of going together.

There was no figure of the old Hou Ye at the scene, Li Yun casually grabbed a firefighting subordinate and asked, "Where is the Hou Ye?" ”

When the next person saw that it was Li Yun and his wife, the two big Buddhas, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly answered, "Hou Ye fainted after seeing the fire, and the second master has already found someone to send Hou Ye back." ”

Looking at the surging fire in front of him, Li Yun sighed and said to Li Yue on the side, "Let's go see the old marquis." ”

Li Yue nodded, Li Yun hugged Li Yue and turned around, and when he left, Li Yun whispered to Li Zhong on the side, "You stay, after the fire is extinguished, see if you can find the cause of the fire in this Buddhist hall." ”

"No."

Seeing that Li Zhong should respond, Li Yun and Li Yue found a little maid to lead the way, and the two went to the courtyard of the Hou Ye, and just after passing the courtyard of the Hou Ye, there was a cry from inside.

Li Yun and Li Yue heard this voice, and thought that Hou Ye had also had an accident, so they all accelerated the pace of entering the door, and after entering, they saw that it was the two young women, as if they were louder than anyone else, sitting on the edge of the bed and crying, Zhou Liye was sitting on the chair next to him, with a decadent face, talking to the doctor.

Li Yun went over and asked the doctor directly, "What's the matter?" ”

Although the doctor didn't know Li Yun, he was shocked by Li Yun's momentum, so he unconsciously said the situation of the old marquis, "Some people are exhausted, and they faint in a hurry, take care of yourself, if you fall down one day, you won't be able to get up." ”

The person Li Yue listened to was not dead, but the two people in front of the bed were like a howl that shook her ears and hurt, and the cry didn't hear any true feelings, but it seemed to be competing, Li Yue looked at the two people and was bored for no reason, in the past, it was unceremonious to give two feet on the buttocks of the two women who threw themselves on the side of the bed, and finally let the two women stop the dry howl in their mouths, and turned their heads to look at Li Yue, so Li Yue took the opportunity to say coldly, "People are not dead, you are howling?" The noisy people are annoyed, if you don't want me to sew your mouth for you, get out of here. ”

The two concubines, seeing that it was the county lord of Chang'an, dared to chirp in fright, stood up and saluted Li Yue, and left quickly.

Li Yue was left alone beside the bed, and Li Yue reached out and looked at the old marquis's eyes.

After the two concubines were frightened by Li Yue and left, Li Yun came over to Li Yue's side, and saw Li Yue's hands pressing on the old marquis's chest a few times, and then reached out and pinched the old marquis's acupoint, and the old marquis woke up leisurely.

Zhou Liye saw that Li Yue and Li Yun had passed by the bedside, and saw Li Yue tossing at the old marquis, wanting to stop it, but he was a little timid and didn't dare to speak, he didn't expect that after Li Yue's toss, his father woke up and turned around.

After the old marquis woke up, the first thing he saw was Li Yun, and he instantly cried with tears, "Retribution, it's really retribution." ”

Li Yun heard the words of the old marquis, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to Zhou Liye behind him and the doctor waiting next to him and said, "You all go down first, those who should grab the medicine go to catch the medicine, and those who should put out the fire go to fight the fire." ”

The others were forced by Li Yue's momentum and left quickly, but Zhou Liye hesitated for a long time without moving, looking at the old marquis on the bed worriedly, and then at Li Yun and Li Yue.

It was rare to see that this family still had a bit of humanity, Li Yue's tone was much better, and she said to Zhou Liye, "You go to the Buddha Hall first to have a look, rest assured here, there are us." ”

Listening to Li Yue's tone, Zhou Liye finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded at Li Yue, glanced at the old marquis who was still crying out for retribution on the bed worriedly, and then turned around and left the door.

Li Yun listened to the movement outside, and after making sure that those people had indeed left, he said to the old marquis on the bed, "Let's stop for a while." ”

The old marquis finally stopped, Li Yun went over, helped the old marquis to sit up, and said straight to the point, "The fire in the winter, does my grandfather feel strange?" ”

The old marquis stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said suspiciously, "You mean, the fire ...... in the Buddha hall behind?" ”

Li Yun nodded, "If nothing else, it should be man-made, and it is very likely that it is because of murder." ”

The old marquis looked at Li Yun with wide eyes in shock, and Li Yun's eyes also looked at the old marquis in front of him without blinking, and said, "Uncle Grandpa didn't know about the things back then, right?" Otherwise, this fire might not only burn Mrs. Hou. ”

The old marquis's eyes were full of shock when he looked at Li Yun, and he muttered, "So you know everything?" ”

Li Yun shook his head, "I don't know, I only found out that the things back then were related to you, but I didn't find anything substantial." ”

The old Hou Ye looked at Li Yun with a guilty face, wiped his tears, and said in a choked voice, "What happened back then, I was sorry for my eldest brother, sorry for your mother and son, I obviously found out that your grandmother and grandmother were colluding with people outside, but because of her threats and my own selfishness, I turned a blind eye and pretended not to know anything, and then sat in the position of Hou Ye as I wished." ”

A trace of anger flashed in Li Yun's eyes, Li Yue felt Li Yun's strange appearance, hurriedly reached out, grabbed Li Yun's hand, and asked, "Old marquis, tell me what you know." ”

The old marquis sighed and said, "Since that incident, although I have sat in the position of the marquis, I have also completely broken with her, and I am already in harmony with her, so she went to the backyard and built a Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha. ”

"As for why she colluded with the outside, she only said at the time that it was for our descendants, and said that if it was...... If Ah Yun inherited the title, our Zhou family would be nothing in the future, what was the detailed matter at that time, she had always hidden it from me, and after I fell out with her, I didn't ask again. ”

"Only until Jinbao had an accident, I was helpless, so I found her again, hoping that she could persuade and persuade that person to come forward and save Jinbao, the first time she was rejected, the second time, she threatened the person, saying that if she didn't help, she would poke out the incident that year, that person finally compromised, saying that she would let us wait for the news, and before the news came, she was buried in the fire, and it was really retribution, retribution."

Li Yue frowned slightly, "When you saw the eldest prince that day, what did Mrs. Hou say when she threatened the eldest prince?" ”

The old marquis glanced at Li Yue, and sighed in his heart, sure enough, the two of them had already known that the person behind the scenes was the eldest prince, and she responded, "At that time, she said that if the eldest prince didn't make a move, after the family was gone this week, she wouldn't be afraid of a fish dying and the net would be broken; After that, the eldest prince replied with a gloomy face, saying that he was waiting for his news. Later, I also asked her if she had any handle for the eldest prince in her hand, but she said that I should not interfere in this matter, lest I invite trouble, but I didn't expect that she was right by her. ”

Li Yue asked a little unwillingly, "There are no clues at all?" ”

Then both of them looked at the old marquis in disappointment and shook their heads.

Li Yun's face was gloomy, and he was silent for a while before he spoke, "Don't mention this matter to anyone again, just let the water go in the Buddhist hall behind, you don't have to worry about Zhou Jinbao's matter, I will find a way to save him." ”

After speaking, Li Yun pulled Li Yue and turned around and left, going outside.

The old marquis behind him kept patting his chest, old tears were crissling, and he muttered to himself, "What face do I have to meet my eldest brother, what face do I have to meet the ancestors of the Zhou family." ”
