Chapter 12: Arson
The backyard of the Wang family, which was originally a desolate and deserted place, was not even willing to come over on weekdays, but it was very lively at this time.
"Open the door, open the door...... The people inside are coming out!"
The housekeeper Wang Chong personally led a group of five big and three thick guards, holding torches and swords, and rushed to the courtyard where Wang Caiqi lived with great dignity and called the door arrogantly.
Originally, it was not a yard, it was just a simple fence outside, if it weren't for the sudden cold and tough change of Miss Six today, they would have rushed in a long time ago, and this door could be kicked open with one kick.
"What are you doing? We Sixth Lady are bathing, do you want to rebel?" Laneige rolled up his sleeves and embraced the door frame of the bedroom with courage, and rebuked loudly.
Behind her, Xiuhe's whole body trembled and almost fainted.
Through the crack in the bedroom door, you can see a little water vapor inside, and it seems that it is bathing.
"Laneige?tell Miss Six that we are on the orders of the Lord and Mrs. to search the Wanfu gilt vessels, and please forgive Miss Six for any disrespect!" the butler's voice was stiff, meaning something.
"Sister Laneige, they know it......" He Xiu's body trembled like chaff and said in a trembling voice.
Lanzhi hurriedly pinched her, her protective desire rose, her eyes suddenly became firm, and she said toughly: "Sixth Miss is bathing, didn't you hear it? No one can come in!"
"Steward Wang, we have witnesses, we should rush in immediately, if they hide it, wouldn't it be a surprise?" the guard Liu Zheng whispered in the butler's ear.
Rao is steward Wang came by order, but after all, Miss Six is a young lady, the master of the Eight Classics, and she is very powerful, at this moment, he does not dare to anger her easily.
"Please inform Miss Six, let's search other rooms first, please Miss Six change clothes as soon as possible, if the search is delayed, the master will be angry!"
"No, you can't come in......" Laneige closed the door and rushed forward.
But the door was kicked open by Liu Zheng, she couldn't stop it, she paused on the spot, and turned to guard the wooden door of the bedroom.
"Miss will definitely not let go of your ...... when she comes out in a while" Bai Zhi said cruelly, because she didn't let go of the cruel words, there was no deterrent effect in what she said.
Under the leadership of the butler, the guards rushed in with torches, rummaging through all the contents of the other two rooms, which were already empty, and found nothing, so all eyes were focused on the bedroom.
"It must be there, otherwise Laneige wouldn't be so stubborn!" Liu Zheng reminded.
"That's right, butler, something must be in there. ”
The housekeeper groaned, broke into the bedroom where the young lady was bathing, and spread it out, wouldn't it be a shame for people to point their noses and scold the old man for not repairing?
"You can't come in!" Laneige exploded when he heard their conversation.
You must know that the young lady is not in the house, in case they rush in, the young lady is not in the room, wouldn't it be even more suspicious?
The voice was anxious and frightened, and the housekeeper and the others' eyes lit up, and they firmly believed that the Wanfu gilt vessel was in the room.
After making eye contact with Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng stepped forward domineeringly, pressed Laneige's shoulder, and pushed it to the side, "Get out!"
Lanzhi clung to the door frame and handle, but his shoulder hurt sharply but he didn't let it go, "For the sake of Miss's reputation, you can't go in......"
"Can't come in, definitely can't come in!" Xiuhe pushed the door with both hands, and the posture of a man who couldn't open it.
Seeing that the two girls were so frightened and flustered, the housekeeper and others thought that there was something strange in the house, and it was by no means as simple as bathing, and they had not heard the voice of Miss Six so far, could it be that Miss ran out to destroy the evidence of the crime?
"Not good!" the butler shouted, beckoning Liu Zheng to kick the door directly.
Laneige is a dead eye, facing the death drag of so many guards, but he doesn't move half a minute, and he is extremely embarrassed.
Just when Laneige was dragged away by Liu Zheng and the door was violently kicked open, a light angry rebuke came from inside the house, and everyone stopped.
"Stop!"
This is Wang Caiqi's voice, hearing this voice, Xiuhe, who fell to the ground, and Lanzhi, who was restrained, almost cried happily.
"Broke into my yard in the middle of the night, and treated my two maids so rudely, Wang Chong, do you want to rebel?"
"Miss Six?" the butler was startled, and suddenly panicked, inexplicably frightened from the soul.
"Wang Chong, you said that you came to me to search, is there any evidence?" The wooden door slowly opened, Wang Caiqi's hair was drenched behind him, and the room was full of steam, obviously just coming out of the water.
On the treetops in the west, the handsome man in white looked at Wang Caiqi who looked like this, and his brows were furrowed, it was too thin.
"As the so-called clean ones are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid, I didn't want to deal with you, but you are too arrogant......"
Slowly walking to the door, Wang Caiqi looked at Wang Chong with cold eyes, as if looking at a corpse on the verge of death.
"I ...... Xiaodou, the fire girl in the kitchen, saw Miss Six appear in the kitchen with her own eyes, and suspected that you had stolen the venison, and the master personally ordered us to come to find the Wanfu gilt dish, which is a treasure worth a thousand gold!" The housekeeper was taken by Wang Caiqi's eyes, thinking about the support of the master, and instantly became bold again.
"Xiaodou, who is it?" Wang Caiqi had no impression of this person at all.
"Kitchen fire girl!"
"Let her come out to confront me, Miss Ben returned to Wang's house for the first time, no one cared, but you still came to do evil, the slander of a burning girl, a little suspicion, no inquiry, no investigation, just break into my yard, Wang Chong, you are so majestic!"
At this time, Wang Caiqi had already helped Xiuhe up, looked at everyone outside the door with cold eyes, and when he walked out of the door, he easily extinguished the lights in the house.
"Whether it's slander or not, you can tell at a glance!" The housekeeper was also stubborn, as if he had been seen by Wang Caiqi's murderous gaze for a long time, and he had a certain resistance.
"Hmph, is my boudoir something you can get into?" Wang Caiqi was furious and burst into foul language.
"Since it's slander, why don't you let us go in and have a look, it can also help you clear your suspicions, right?"
"That's it, that's it!"
Seeing that the housekeepers and guards were sworn and confident, Wang Caiqi couldn't help but laugh angrily.
"Wang Chong, since you must enter this boudoir today, how about we make a bet?" hooked his lips and smiled evilly, Wang Caiqi said.
"You say!" The housekeeper was determined, the two maids were desperate, and Wang Caiqi's behavior of turning out the lights, he was even more sure that there was something strange in this house, and he couldn't help but agree very happily.
Wang Caiqi's face was embarrassed, like a gambling struggle, as if he was worried that the hidden things would be found, and he believed that he would not find them, so he was silent for a long time before he said: "After all, it is my boudoir, if you want to check, these guards will never be allowed to enter, you can only go in by yourself, if you can't find it, you must apologize to me in front of everyone!"
"Hehe, okay!" At this time, not only the housekeeper, but even the guards outside saw that Wang Caiqi's heart was weak, and they couldn't help laughing.
The lights went out in the room, and Wang Chong and Liu Zheng, the fiercest guard, took the torch in their hands and walked into the dark boudoir with confidence.
Then there was a crackling rummaging sound, and the guards waited to see the show.
Wang Caiqi's face was strange, her eyes flashed with smugness, Lanzhi and Xiuhe stood beside her, the moonlight was like water, shining through the sky and the earth, the cold wind was clear, and Wang Caiqi's undried hair was cold on her face.
Everyone's eyes looked at the boudoir, but they saw that the originally faint light inside was getting brighter and brighter, and gradually, everyone opened their mouths wide, and the house actually burned.
