There must be more than 30 people in the printing house, and this is not easy to check, Li Ke first separated everyone, and naturally tried them one by one, and recorded confessions.

Yu Chengyan sent someone to clean up the mess, and they went back to the county, sat together to discuss the next issues, and said that to be direct, it was compensation.

"No matter how this fire started, it's all the boss's problem, am I right?" Xu Qiao said in a calm tone.

"Hmm." Yu Chengyan nodded: "Since I rented your place, I will naturally be responsible for it to the end, you calculate the loss, and give it to me when the time comes." ”

Xu Qiao nodded, and then looked at An Xian: "However, when I first rented it, the handprints were made by Mrs. Dai and Mrs. Mo, so it stands to reason that even if I look for them, I should look for the two of them." ”

An Xian is indeed not the owner of the printing factory, but this factory is opened specifically for her, and with so many losses, Yu Chengyan has not made a pure loss at all, and she is not willing to go, and she does not want to put all the losses on her family.

Hearing this, she glanced at Mo Zhi: "That's natural, I will roughly estimate the price of the bookstore when I go back, and then transfer over, my net worth is so much, how much can I deduct!" ”

"Girl." Yu Chengyan twisted his eyebrows: "I can still afford a few hundred taels at Yu's house, isn't this bookstore what you want?" What to hand over easily? ”

"But I can't let the old man bear such a big loss alone." An Xian said firmly: "You don't need to persuade me, my store may only be worth a small part, and it can be regarded as my modest effort." ”

Mo Zhi looked at her and didn't say anything to stop her, Xu Qiao said and left, to deal with the later things, and a few of them were left, Yu Xiuxin also persuaded: "An Xian, what are you going to do without the bookstore?" It's okay, it's not your fault that it's on fire, and no one has to share it. ”

"The printing house was opened for me, I can't sit idly by, and besides, this bookstore was originally given to me by the old man, I just use his things and return them!" An Xian sighed lightly: "I don't know how much compensation is needed." ”

Mo Zhi said: "The loss is not small, Xu Qiao alone will have a hundred taels of silver, and the rest of the printing tool money will basically be lost in full, adding up, there must be more than three hundred taels!" ”

"So much?" An Xian's flesh hurt: "It is estimated that there are so many books in the bookstore, how can it cost a hundred taels, then Master Yu still has to take more than two hundred taels." ”

"I said you should open your bookstore well, and don't worry about anything else." In the diagenetic road.

"Nope." An Xian groaned: "I'm afraid it's difficult for the bookstore to sell, since it can come in handy now, it's better to pay it out, and the other compensation, I advise the old man, don't lose the silver, use your store to pay!" ”

"Why?"

"Mo Zhi should have told you, we are going to the capital, the bookstore can't be moved, sooner or later it will have to be sold, and yours is the same, if you believe me, you might as well convert these into silver as much as possible."

"I'm not leaving." Yu Chengyan shook his head: "Let's not talk about whether there will be a fight, even if it does, this is also Nanyao Kingdom, they may not be able to fight in, the foundation of my Yu family for generations is here, and it will not change in the future." ”

"What if? Do you think Nan Yao's current situation can withstand it? Would you rather your business be ruined than be flexible? Even if you go somewhere else, this is the same as the Yu family, and it won't change! An Xian said bitterly.

"Dad, An Xian is right, don't be so stubborn." Yu Xiuxin also persuaded: "Actually, Dai Ling also has this meaning, but you always don't listen." ”

"Okay, where did you go, talk about the printing house!" Yu Chengyan turned his head and asked An Xian: "How many books do you have left?" Do I need to reprint? ”

An Xian shook his head: "No need, there are still a hundred sets left, I will take these with me when I leave, no matter how much it is, it is not convenient, and you don't have to break the bank to make this unprofitable stall." ”

Yu Chengyan nodded: "Since you insist on leaving, then I can't force you to stay, if there is anything unsatisfactory in the capital, you can come back at any time, you don't need to see outside." ”

An Xian smiled: "Thank you, old man." ”

I originally planned to leave after a while, but suddenly there was such an accident, and the bookstore was disposed of in advance, so they didn't need to consume it, and Yu Chengyan didn't need Mo Zhi's help anymore, let him handle his own affairs.

Both of them were in the bookstore all day, and all the types, quantities, and prices of all the books needed to be counted and then converted into silver.

"Take a break." Mo Zhi handed An Xian a cup of tea, in order not to trouble again, he directly asked Xu Qiao to send someone to make it together, and quickly, she was also relieved.

An Xian sighed lightly, looked at the bookstore he had decorated with his heart, and was a little reluctant: "I have to start all over again." ”

"How do you do it all over again?" Mo Zhi said in a deep voice: "Compared to the beginning, we are no longer embarrassed to take out the ten taels of silver, you also have your book, besides, the things we have learned during this time are more useful than anything else." ”

An Xian took a deep breath: "That's what I said, it's not a big deal!" ”

For these alone, several people tossed around for two days, and the final estimate was about the same as she expected, one hundred and ten taels, and Xu Qiao's place as big as it took two hundred taels to build it, and the difference was made up by Yu Chengyan.

These are only compensated to Xu Qiao, and the bulk of the loss lies in the tools printed, and there are not many printed ones, which is not enough to return to the original at all, basically all of them are compensated, and it is hundreds of taels, but Yu Chengyan can see it, it was originally counted as a thank you gift from the beginning, and he thinks that An Xian's book is also worth such a toss, even if it seems to be lost now.

Of course, the cause of the fire must be investigated, because it was lunch time, most of the people were eating, Li Ke was tried separately, and asked everyone to write down the people who ate together and did not leave in their memory, as long as the confessions were correct, the suspicion could basically be ruled out.

Most of these people who confessed correctly were twenty-five in all, and the remaining six did not eat in the cafeteria at that time.

It's much easier to check this narrowing down, these six people tried it alone, two of them were on duty together, and two said that they would go outside for a walk after eating first, after all, there was also a break at noon.

Li Ke looked at only one person left, and raised his eyebrows: "Shouldn't there be another person?" ”

The official shook his head: "The people in the field at that time were all controlled, and there were only thirty of them." ”

Li Ke turned his head and asked another person: "How many people are there in the printing house?" ”

The man was also strange: "Master Hui, it is indeed thirty-one people, and there are thirty-one in the booklet, how can there be one less?" ”

Li Keyi frowned: "Go and check, who is missing, where is the person?" ”

The subordinates soon came back: "Master, the person who was not there is called Wang Lin, thirty years old, and he should have been working in the field yesterday, but his subordinates really didn't see anyone." ”

Li Ke tapped his fingers on the table: "Then go and find it, and you have to bring someone to me when you go to the house!" ”

After asking the official to find someone, Li Ke looked at the last person, and at present, it seems that others can't say that they can completely clear the suspicion, but at least there are no loopholes to check: "Tell me, where were you when the fire caught fire?" Do what? ”

The man knelt: "Back to Master Li, the little one has been eating, and then he just went to the toilet after eating." ”

"Oh? So why don't many people remember? Li Ke said as he flipped through the confessions of those people: "There are a few people who saw you eating, but most of them didn't write about you, did you finish eating and leave early in the morning?" ”

The man nodded: "Because I wasn't very comfortable that day, I didn't eat too much, and the little one never lied!" ”

"What can prove your innocence?" Li Ke said slowly: "You can't prove anything by yourself." ”

"This ......" the man was embarrassed: "There is no one else in this latrine!" Master, how can you prove that this is called small? ”

Li Ke wrinkled his eyebrows and stared at him for a while: "Are you sure you went to the thatched house, instead of taking the opportunity to set it on fire?" Was it instructed by someone? Or is there some other purpose? I can warn you, this is not a trivial matter, and if you confess leniently, you can be punished lightly. ”

The man was frightened by Li Ke, and he was also very calm: "Master is clear!" Okay, why should the little ones set fires? It's not too tiring, and it earns a lot of money, and the little ones still expect to support their families from it! ”

Li Ke tugged at the corners of his mouth: "It's useless for you to say this, what adults pay attention to is evidence, although I don't have any evidence to say that you did it, but you can't prove your innocence, since that's the case, then let's wait for Wang Lin's news to judge you again!" ”
