The night wind howled and was very strong. In this weather, a fire spreads quickly and is not easy to save.

Lu Man was anxious.

The mother-in-law in the front yard came to report, and after the time passed, the eighth master who put off the firecrackers went back to rest, and the third master and a few men were in the front hall to play horses and hang the New Year. About three moments later, Huang Doudou suddenly jumped down from the courtyard wall, ran into the front hall and jumped on the table, "meowed" at the third master, there were tears in his eyes, and pointed out with a front hoof.

Jiang Zhanwei knew how powerful his cats were, and he also knew that these two cats were taken to the Southwest Hou Mansion by Ding Yuying. At this time, I saw that it was so anxious that I wept, and then I saw that its hair was short and curled in a few places, as if it had been burned by a fire.

He pushed down the cards in his hand and asked, "Is it the second girl Ding who has an accident?" ”

Huang Doudou nodded, and pointed outside with his paw.

Jiang Zhanwei hurriedly got up and instructed Fang Da and Liu Zhuangdao, "Go and call a few brothers, bring the horse again, and go to the Pingxi Hou Mansion with me." ”

When he walked out of the door, he had already seen smoke coming out of the west, and he was even more anxious, and when a few nurses came to the front yard, they went to Pingxi Hou's Mansion together, and Huang Doudou also went with him......

At this time, Mrs. Huang also returned. She said there was a very visible fire under the smoke. The third master, the prince and the fourth master also went to Jingxia Tower to watch, and said that the fire should be in the Zhu Mansion. They were worried, afraid that something would happen to Mrs. Zhu, so they hurriedly asked people to go to Zhu's mansion to check.

Lu Man's heart sank even more, and Pingxi Hou's Mansion was not far from Zhu's Mansion.

Huang Doudou ran back to report that he and Pea Huang had found danger. But the fire is too terrible, if you are injured and rescued, the burns are not easy to heal, and you don't have the ability to do plastic surgery.

The fire was very fierce, not only was there a noise in the mansion over there, but even the Liu Mansion next door was also noisy.

Around the beginning of the day, the fire was finally brought under control. One of the guards also returned to the house to report that it was indeed the Pingxi Hou Mansion that was on fire, and most of the inner courtyard was burned.

There were three people who were burned to death, all of whom were the maids of the third girl. Six people were injured, and three were seriously burned, one was Ding San's girl, the other was her mother-in-law in the yard, and the other was Yuan Mama, who served Ding Xiaoqi.

There were four other minor injuries, one of which was Ding Xiaoqi, who ran out of his arms under the protection of Mama Yuan, and a piece of skin on his left arm was burned. Mama Yuan was a little miserable, half of her head was feverish, and she also had several injuries on her body.

The courtyard of the third girl was the first to catch fire, so the slaves of the third girl were the most severely affected. And Ding Yuying's yard is only separated by a wall from Ding San's yard, and she is also implicated. Although many other courtyards were burned, people ran out......

The second girl Ding was angry, and ran to beat the fourth girl Ding to scream, and was pulled away by her mother-in-law.

The guard also said, "The third master said, please rest assured, the third grandmother is fine, the third master will accompany the second girl Ding to wait for the people of Jingzhao Mansion in the Ding Mansion, and will also ask the Hou Ye Ding for an explanation." He also arrived later, and he was with the third master......"

Lu Man let go of half of his heart. She guessed that the fire should not be simple. Mrs. Ding's mother and daughter are also lacking in virtue enough, in order to harm Ding Yuying, they have to shirk their responsibilities, so that the third girl Ding and several subordinates, who are also concubines, have been killed. It's just that they definitely didn't expect that the fire would not be able to be controlled when it came together, and it would burn down most of the inner courtyard of Ding Mansion, which was a big disaster.

When the sky was slightly bright, Ding Xiaoqi was hugged back.

Lu Man followed to Zhuxuan. The child was frightened, and in addition to the pain, he cried all the time. Lu Man looked at his injury, it was not very serious, and there was a skin burn on his left elbow that was more than an inch long and half an inch wide. She helped him deal with it again, and gave him a decoction to help him sleep.

The girl who came back with him said more carefully, Ding Yuying was not worried that Ding Xiaoqi would live in the outer courtyard, so she arranged for him to live in the east house in her courtyard, and the east house happened to be separated from the west house of Ding San's girl by only one wall.

It was very strange that they were all very sleepy, and they still ran to the big kitchen to steal pea yellow and yellow beans and ran back when they found out that something was wrong, ran into the house and shouted to Latina Yuying. Ding Yuying woke up and ran out to scream, only to wake up a few of them and run out.

At this time, the two courtyards had already burned, and the surrounding dead trees were also on fire, and the houses of Ding San and Ding Xiaoqi were the most seriously burned. Ding Yuying saw that Ding Xiaoqi hadn't come out yet, and wanted to go in to save people, but was pulled by the girl and her mother-in-law. At this time, Mama Yuan wrapped Ding Xiaoqi with a quilt and ran out, but her left arm was not hugged properly, so she was injured.

They couldn't save this kind of fire at all, so they opened their voices and shouted, only to call the people in the courtyard too. When the men in the front yard and some rough women came, they brought water from the well and the lake to put out the fire, but they couldn't save it. I had to draw out the separation zone and cut the trees in the middle.

Fortunately, the two courtyards where Ding Yuying and her family lived were relatively remote, and after the fire broke out, the people in the other courtyards were woken up and ran out......

Due to the participation of the prince of Hejun and the marquis of Yongwei, the case of the burning of the Pingxi Hou Mansion not only alarmed the Jingzhao Mansion, but also alarmed the emperor, and the emperor told the Jingzhao Mansion to investigate thoroughly.

Three days later, the case was settled. It was Mrs. Ding's housekeeper, Mama Zhou, who bought a girl from Miss Ding San with a lot of money, and she first took advantage of the fact that those people went to the reunion dinner to secretly make hands and feet in the kettles in the two courtyards. Because he was afraid of being recognized by the grandmother of the eldest princess's mansion who came with him, the dose of sweat medicine was not large.

Because of the Chinese New Year, fireworks were also set off in both courtyards. After everyone had fallen asleep, the girl lit a fire in the right ear room, and the sheets were burned first.

In order to avoid suspicion, she also suffered minor injuries.

Of course, the reason why I locked that girl so quickly is thanks to Pea Yellow. It kept hinting at Ding Yuying with its little paws, pointing at the girl. Jiang Zhanwei arrested her and interrogated her, the girl was frightened, and confessed to Mama Zhou before she was punished.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't survive the heavy punishment, and confessed that Mrs. Ding instructed her to do it. said that Mrs. Ding was angry but Ding Yuying was just a concubine, not only ruined her and Ding Yuqin's reputation, but also robbed Ding Yuqin's relatives and became the princess of the county, and she has been planning to kill Ding Yuying.

Because Ding Yuying rarely goes back to live in the house for a day, she has to set off firecrackers during the New Year, and the weather is dry, which is a good opportunity to start. She also thought of an excuse, that is, Ding San's girl set off firecrackers, brought the incense sticks that had not been extinguished into the room, and burned the embroidered shoes on the ground first, and the flames burned the sheets and caused a fire.

Mrs. Ding may know that she can't escape the prison, or maybe it was the disposal of Marquis Ding, and after the mother-in-law confessed, she hanged herself.

Marquis Ding also punished Ding Yuqin to go to the nunnery for one year to copy scriptures for Mrs. Ding to atone for her sins. Mrs. Ding's decree has been withdrawn and she has become white, so she can only be called Mrs. Ding.
