Chapter 62: The Purity of the Flame 07

"It's an incident that happened in the Zhenhai General's Mansion before this. The current General Zhenhai is the Peng family, but it was not before, and the surname is Xue, and then I don't know if he was removed from his post and punished by the imperial court because of what he committed, but this court just let people surround this Zhenhai General's Mansion, and there is no punishment for the people in the General's Mansion, I don't know why, suddenly one day, a raging fire broke out in the Zhenhai General's Mansion, and almost all of the General Zhenhai's people were burned to death inside, and there was no survivor, this General Xue's family was wiped out, and the court had no reason to investigate. Later, the former deputy general Peng Shui became the general of this Peng Shui became the general of Zhenhai, and it is estimated that several years have passed since this matter, and I have not come here to take office at that time, so I don't know much. However, these three people were all driven out, but they escaped the catastrophe, will it be because of this incident that these three people are particularly afraid of fire. Liu Zhi recalled for a while and said.

"That's a reason, but I shouldn't be so scared, I guess I've done something wrong, so I'm so afraid of fire." Yang Linze nodded and said.

"What's wrong?"

"Naturally, the previous Zhenhai General General Xue's crime came a little suddenly, and it happened to be at this moment that the water went out, and the whole family was wiped out, no matter how you look at it, it looks like destroying the evidence, and the three people didn't make a big mistake, just let the three people expel the three of them, could it be that these three people knew that General Xue was about to fall, so as to avoid being implicated and deliberately make mistakes? Maybe these three people didn't know about the water. may also know that they even participated, so they are so afraid, because they are afraid that the people behind the scenes will attack others in order to keep the secret, and secondly, because they saw the tragic fire at that time, they were weak in their hearts, so they bought this fire avoidance map, as for the last possibility, maybe the Xue family did not die back then, and someone came back to take revenge. The three were scared. Yang Linze touched his chin and said analytically.

Although the motive is uncertain, the reason for this is mostly due to the fire of General Zhenhai a few years ago. If you look at it in this way, there must not be much wrong.

"Let's go, let's go and see if there was any special reason for the fire in General Xue's Mansion before?" As soon as he heard this reason, Yang Linze couldn't help but feel a little excited, he finally caught the clues, and hurriedly wanted to go outside to investigate.

"Wait a minute, it's so late now, who are you going to find, eat now and rest." Unexpectedly, he was immediately dragged by Yan Tianrui and dragged back.

"But?" Yang Linze still wants to fight for it.

"No, no, but, if you don't eat now, you don't want to be involved in this case in the future." Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by Yan Tianrui.

"Okay." Yang Linze looked at Yan Tianrui's expression and knew that there was no room for reversal, so he had to lower his shoulders and agree.

"Let's go, it just so happens that Yang Fei has packed the food back." Yan Tianrui dragged Yang Linze towards the restaurant, and Yang Fei also happened to put the food on the table.

I saw that the white jade-like ceramic pot contained seafood porridge, which was dotted with a little seafood, and the small green onions sprinkled on the porridge made the color look particularly eye-catching. There are a few side dishes around the porridge, all of which are fresh and refreshing.

Yang Fei used a spoon to stir the seafood porridge while beckoning to a few people, with the action, the seafood porridge instantly burst out of the tempting aroma, hooking people's index fingers, Yang Linze couldn't care about anything else, picked up a bowl and gently stirred it to cool and then stuffed it into my mouth, "Huhu, um!" Delicious. ”

"Slow down." Yan Tianrui was so shocked that he hurriedly handed the porridge that had been cooled in his hand to Yang Linze's hand, and took Yang Linze's bowl back by the way.

"Okay." Yang Linze agreed with satisfaction, and then took the porridge and ate the side dishes next to him with relish. Then he was dragged by Yan Tianrui to stop him, and then dragged him back for a walk to eat, he really ate a little too much.

"Who else is in the know, didn't the fire burn everything to death in the Zhenhai General's Mansion, and who else escaped?" Although he said that he had found this clue, he didn't know who to ask about it.

"Did all those minions and maids at that time fold in them?" Yang Linze asked curiously.

"I don't know, it's been several years since this incident, and it is estimated that some clues have been broken, so I can only say that I will investigate first and see if there is any news." Liu Zhi said as he asked his servants to go down to find out the details.

Yan Tianrui waved his hand to the back, and Liang Ting immediately went out and notified the intelligence soldier in the dark to go and find out the news. The two teams are in battle together, and they should be able to find a lot of clues.

"No one saw the fire at that time, after all, it was all at night, and the neighbors around were already asleep, and the last two of them were found by the watch, and as for the first one, it was discovered because someone got up at night next to it." Liu Zhi shook his head, if it wasn't at night, it wouldn't have burned so badly, otherwise it would have been discovered a long time ago, and it was all in the middle of the night.

"Call those two witnesses over and ask them. Then send someone to investigate whether there is any abnormal situation in the recent period of time for these three people, and find out what they have done every day. Tabulation. Yang Linze looked at the situation and didn't know anything, only knew that the death of the three should be inseparable from the previous fire, but there was no one in the know, all he could do now was to cast a wide net and catch more fish.

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Liu Zhi nodded.

"My lord, the two of you who beat the watch and the two of you who started the night have already been brought." In a few moments, the servant walked in through the door.

"Well, bring someone in."

"Yes!"

After a while, the official walked in with the two of them, and saw that the two seemed to be a little scared and frightened. As soon as he came in, he knelt down towards a few people, and said with a little trembling and stammering: "Cao, grass people see Prince Yan, Lord Liu, Lord Yang." ”

"It's okay, get up, we just have something to ask you." Liu Zhi waved his hand to get up.

"Tell me all about the discovery of the fire that night." When the two of them stood up a little tremblingly, Liu Zhi asked.

"Return, return, Lord. Xiao also got up with a sudden urgency that night, and then heard a crackling sound next door, so he came out curiously to take a look, but he didn't expect to see the Zhang San (which is the name of the first deceased. The house caught fire, and the little one hurriedly woke up the neighbors around him to put out the fire, but he didn't expect that it was still a step too late, and Zhang San had already burned to death inside. "It was the first person who opened the case, and when he talked about the events of that night, he was scared at first, but the more he talked about it, the smoother it became.

"Did you see any suspicious people when you went to put out the fire that night?" Liu Zhi continued to ask.

"Suspicious people, I didn't see it, I only saw that there was a fire in the house, and I was in a hurry to save people, and I didn't see anything else." The man thought for a moment and said.

This should be true, anyone who participated in such a major event will not easily forget, but will talk to the people around them, because this is their talking point, it is a proud existence, so the details of this matter will only become clearer and clearer in the description, but the suspicion of exaggeration is not ruled out.

"Back to the adult, the small one is the husband who fights the watch here, there was a burning of people before, and the small one was extra vigilant when he hit the watch, but I only found out after these two fires were ignited." The one who played the more seemed to have a little regret, and said vaguely.

It's right to say this watch, but there may be a little bit wrong, more vigilant, it is estimated that it is to look at the point when the watch is played, and it is estimated that after the change, it is estimated that he will be thrown into the arms of Zhou Gong. However, this incident is not a crime for the watchman, it can only be said that the vigilance of the work is not high, but it does not have much impact.

"Do you remember when you found out about those two fires?"

"This small one, these two cases were discovered by the small one when he was playing the fourth watch, that is, when the early morning was ugly. At that time, the little one saw the fire, so naturally he didn't think much about it, and went directly to save people, as for the suspicious person, the little one didn't see it, after all, everyone was scared of the thing before it came out, and basically there was no one at that point on the street. Seeing that Liu Zhi didn't hold on to his own affairs, he was instantly relieved, which can be regarded as telling the truth when it comes to time, and he is extremely hardworking.

The two people asked for a long time, and they only knew the approximate time of the fire, and none of the other suspects were there.

"Let's go, let's also go around to see if there are any clues, they all say that this place to eat is the best place to hear the news, after all, is it all mouth? Find a restaurant to see, ask Xiao Er over there if there are any clues, and remember to find a restaurant that is a little older. Yang Linze looked at a few people, and now there are no other clues except for the three fire avoidance maps and the fire six years ago. Can you just sit there and stare at it?

"Okay, it's time for lunch, maybe I'll be able to find a lot of clues." Several people echoed one after another, as for the oldest restaurant in this Mohai, it is naturally the Wanghai Tower.

The restaurant is at least a century-old restaurant here, and the owner was a small vendor a long time ago, but because of the good taste and the warm hospitality of the owner, many people choose to eat there. In the back, the business became bigger and bigger, and this restaurant came into being.

"Masters, your dishes are ready." The shopkeeper brought a large table of food in an instant, looked at Yang Linze and said.

"Well, little second brother, can I ask you something?" Yang Linze took out a silver ingot and stuffed it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile.

"Naturally, it's okay, I don't know what the masters want to ask?" The shopkeeper smiled instantly. Pull the silver ingot tightly in your hand.

"The little second brother is a native of this Mohai, right?" Yang Linze didn't ask the question directly, but changed the way he asked.

"Well, I grew up in this sea of ink since I was a child." When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said.

"Little second brother, I want to ask if you know about General Xue of the Zhenhai General's Mansion before?" Yang Linze looked at the shopkeeper and asked.

The little second brother seemed to be a little entangled, and finally seemed to have made a decision, and suddenly stuffed the silver ingot in his hand into his arms.
