"Someone, hurry up and put out the fire, quickly!"
"Second Miss, the fire outside is too big, I'm afraid it won't be extinguished for a while, you go out quickly, it's important to save your life."
When several family members heard the sound, they rushed over, only to see that the fire in Luo Qingwan's yard was burning bigger and bigger, and it rushed directly to the beams of the house from the corners, and the entire top was on fire, and the surrounding area was wrapped in fire, and the house was about to collapse.
Luo Qingwan hugged her jewelry box, and finally ran out of the house under the escort of her family, her whole face was gray and she was choked with white smoke.
Reasonably, she turned her head to look at the other side, only to see that the door was closed, the lights in Luo Baisu's house had been extinguished for some time, and the courtyard was only burned to a corner, and most of them were gathered here.
Hmph, the dead don't know how to escape, even if they are not poisoned, they will burn you sooner or later.
This is also just right, when it dawns tomorrow, Luo Baisu's bones have been burned to slag, where can anyone tell whether she was poisoned or burned to death.
One courtyard, one life, should be regarded as a funeral for Luo Baisu, which is cheap for her.
Thinking of this, the corners of Luo Qingwan's black mouth hooked slightly, and everyone hurriedly left.
In the house, Lin Qi stood in front of the window and looked at the paper ashes left in the brazier, motionless, ugly and ugly sneaked in from the backyard with a dew.
When he returned to the house, he whispered cautiously, "Miss, it has been settled." ”
Lin Qi finally moved, nodded at her, turned around and walked to the bed and lay down, "There are still two quarters of an hour, go to sleep." ”
There was such a big thing in the courtyard, and Luo Ting'an, the old lady and others also heard about it.
By the time everyone gathered in front of Luo Qingwan's courtyard, the sky had gradually brightened, and the fire had slowly dissipated along the morning mist.
"For no reason, how can you go out of the water?" The old lady pointed to the burned roof, and saw that the bare beams were burned to the point that only a few large wooden pillars remained, and most of them were swallowed into ashes by the fire.
The whole courtyard is now empty and ruined.
"Grandmother, the weather is dry and dry, it must be a lazy subordinate who fell asleep during the vigil, which caused the fire, fortunately, it only burned my yard, there is no danger, otherwise, it will affect my grandmother and father, Wan'er should blame herself."
Luo Qingwan looked sensible, these words were particularly popular with the old lady, and she didn't blame her for the first time when something happened, but for the sake of others, this is the demeanor that everyone should have.
"If that's the case, then we can't let it go, a fire will burn down the entire courtyard, if this happens again next time, I don't know what the consequences will be!"
"Come on, go down and find out for me one by one, who is it that let the second lady's yard go out of the water, and it is bound to be severely punished to set an example!"
Luo Ting'an walked from the side to the front, as the head of the family, of course, he was the first person to stand up and uphold justice at this time.
Luo Qingwan was secretly happy in her heart, but her face began to look nervously at the other side.
"Wan'er, but let the fire hurt? Why did you look so uneasy? The old lady said with concern.
"Grandmother, third sister, third sister hasn't come out yet......" Luo Qingwan had tears in her eyes, and the more vivid she became.
"Last night, I heard a shout on the other side, thinking that something had happened to the third sister, so I was busy looking, and suddenly there was a fire, and I was in a hurry to escape, and I forgot about the third sister."
"Grandmother, father, go and see the third sister, don't anything happen."
When everyone heard this, it was Qu Shi and Luo Fulan, and their faces were not panicked, and they were about to run towards Lin Qi's courtyard.
But at that time, a maid rushed from Jiang's yard and shouted, "Master, old lady, something is wrong, Mrs. Jiang's yard is ......."
"Mrs. Jiang's yard is also on fire?" Luo Ting'an said and turned around.
The maid was frightened and frightened, so anxious that she couldn't speak, tears were wrapped in her eyes, and she took a few mouthfuls before continuing, "No, in Mrs. Jiang's yard, there are many poisonous snakes crawling out of nowhere, and now three people have been bitten to death." ”
When everyone heard this, where could they still stand it, they all looked at me and I looked at you, even Luo Ting'an was stunned for a moment, stunned in place, not knowing whether to go forward or retreat.
"In that case, why don't you hurry up and catch the snake."
A voice suddenly sounded behind him, clear and clear, as gentle as the light of dawn, and as cold as the spring water of a mountain stream.
Everyone looked back, this person was not Luo Baisu, who was it!
Luo Qingwan was startled, her eyes bulged angrily, and the corners of her lips trembled, "You...... Why are you ...... here?"
Seeing that Lin Qi was fine, Luo Ting'an hurriedly turned his head and went to the Jiang family's courtyard, and the others followed one after another.
As the little maid said, the Jiang family's yard is full of poisonous snakes, and I don't know how many times more than Luo Qingwan sent last night.
Dense, not only small spotted snakes, but also all kinds of other poisonous snakes, in the corner, there are many man-eating ants, and poisonous insects.
A group of maids and guards were among them, burning with torches, clamping tongs, and splashing ice water, but it was useless, accumulating more and more, but it was very strange that these poisons only poured into Jiang's house, as if foraging, and the other courtyards were safe.
In addition, most of the buildings in the yard have been damaged by insects and ants, and the rest are either infected with venom or destroyed by fire and ice water.
Lin Qi sneered secretly, it seemed that the poison-inducing powder extracted in the valley had a good effect.
I have to go back and configure more, these insects and ants look inconspicuous on weekdays, and once they are dispatched on a large scale, even the masters of the Great Interior can't help them.
"Mother, where is Mother, Mother!" Luo Qingwan shouted a few times, still holding the jewelry box tightly in her arms.
But at that time, Jiang was carried by a guard, rushed down from the roof, and narrowly rushed out of the insect and ant nest.
Jiang was bitten by a poisonous snake and had fallen into a coma, his whole body had turned purple red, his breath was dying, and he was about to die.
"Hurry up and get a doctor!" Luo Ting'an was so anxious that he jumped to his feet.
"It's too late, Mrs. Jiang is deeply poisoned, if you don't detoxify it immediately, I'm afraid you won't live for a quarter of an hour." The guards who came out with the Jiang family on their backs knelt down and bowed, and also told the truth.
Luo Qingwan's eyes were red, she lost her mind, and rushed up holding the jewelry box, "I have an antidote, I have an antidote, give it to my mother quickly." ”
As he spoke, he took out a small medicine bottle from his underwear pocket and handed it over.
Jiang Shi took it, and it was really good, and his face gradually recovered.
"Come on, burn this yard together, not an inch will be left!" Seeing that the insects and ants were accumulating more and more, Luo Ting'an was ruthless, and gave an order, and directly let people set fire to the courtyard.
When Jiang heard this, he hurriedly got up, "No, my jewelry is still inside." ”
As he spoke, he was about to rush inside.
"You don't want to die!" Luo Ting'an pulled her back and threw her to the ground, "Set fire, burn!" ”
The fire was raging, the red flames were scorching, and the fire was bigger than the northwest wind that poured into Luo Qingwan's courtyard last night.
Jiang watched the roof, beams, study, and bedroom slowly burned down, and even the 10,000 taels of silver she had hidden and the 100,000 taels of silver tickets that Jiang Yuer had just sent turned into ashes.
Jiang Shi cried a few times violently, his anger and blood attacked, and he fell backwards and fainted again.
Everything subsided, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, the entire courtyard was deserted, and Jiang was helped to Qu's courtyard to rest.
"Wan'er, where did your antidote come from?" Luo Ting'an remembered, turned his head and asked.
Luo Qingwan woke up from the panic at this time, her eyes were scarlet, she hugged the jewelry box tightly, and suddenly rushed forward and pointed at Lin Qi.
"It's her, she did everything, it's her who wants to harm me and my mother!"
Luo Qingwan was furious, only wearing a single coat on her body, and a cloak casually wrapped outside, her cloak was scattered, her face was black, and she had just cried, her eyes were red and swollen, and at this moment, she looked like a madman.
"Last night I saw her sneaking around in the house, and she must have taken the opportunity to light a fire and deliberately lead the fire into my yard in order to burn me to death. As a result, I didn't die, she was unwilling, and today she put poisonous snakes in my mother's yard, wanting to poison my mother. ”
"Luo Baisu, you are not a human, the snake and scorpion are vicious, you must not die well! Grandmother, father, you must make decisions for me and my mother, kill her, kill Luo Baisu! ”
Luo Qingwan was so angry that she was dizzy, and when she saw that the matter was revealed, she pushed all the sins on Lin Qi without saying a word, and even her vicious nature was exposed.
Luo Ting'an looked up, but saw Lin Qi standing upright, calm, without panic and surprise on his face, nor was he aggrieved or sad, without even a trace of emotion, and began to be suspicious in his heart.
"Su'er, what your sister said, but the truth?"
Lin Qi didn't move, she didn't look at him, let alone nervous, she said calmly, "Then according to what my sister said, what is the purpose of my doing this?" ”
"The purpose is that you want to swallow the disaster silver alone, or if you want us to lose all our money, you are the only one on the donation list!"
Lin Qi smiled calmly, and suddenly clapped his hands, "My sister is really good at acting, and my sister is ashamed." ”
"You, what do you mean!" Luo Qingwan's eyes rolled, and she panicked inexplicably.
"I mean, my sister's ability to bite back is really the pinnacle, and no one can compare."
Lin Qi stood in place, his expression was dazed, and a cold light suddenly bloomed in his eyes, "First, my sister said that I set the fire in your yard last night, but only one corner of my yard was burned, and my sister's yard was burned down, how do you look at me, I was affected by you, there was a wind patrol last night, do I really have the ability to pass through the sky, and command the wind to burn my sister's yard?" ”
I don't have the ability to command the wind, but the ability to predict the direction of the wind in advance is not weak!
"Second, since my sister personally watched me set the fire last night, why didn't you arrest me on the spot? still let his yard burn, is it sister, are you blind, or sister, I am sleepwalking? ”
Snakes and scorpions are vicious, even if you are blind, they can't save your life now!
"Third, wasn't the poisonous snake in Mrs. Jiang's yard attracted by my sister? The antidote is the evidence, if my sister didn't know those poisonous snakes, how could she take out the antidote to detoxify Mrs. Jiang in the first place? ”
I didn't expect it, but it hurt your own mother, it was really a chicken steal, and it was a pot of rice!
"Fourth, my sister said I want to swallow the disaster silver alone? But the disaster money belongs to me, if I don't want to take it out, I just refuse, why bother so much. However, when it comes to greedy for money, my sister must regard money as her life, right? ”
Running for your life is still holding the jewelry box, which is more important than your own mother, who can compare with you?!
Lin Qi's words were too reasonable, and everyone present cast their eyes on Luo Qingwan, and their eyes slowly changed from sympathy to disgust, and then to fear.
"What proof do you have?!"
Luo Qingwan was still unconvinced, her hands were clenched into fists, and she couldn't wait to pounce directly and bite Lin Qi to death.
"Yes, what evidence is there for what my sister just said?"
Qingmei has been poisoned by her own hands, the witness is dead, there is no proof of death, Ren Luo Qingwan has thousands of mouths, and at this moment, it is difficult to justify.
Lin Qi approached, and said slowly in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "Do you need to find someone to go to the mass grave to see, my sister's personal maid was thrown there, and she died without blinking her eyes, it was really miserable." Sister, how should this be explained? The crime of homicide and murder together, are you really not afraid? ”
Hearing this, Luo Qingwan was completely stunned, and in a trance, she took a few steps back, and the jewelry box in her arms also fell to the ground.
When everyone saw it, they all understood the reason.
"Confused! What a confusion! The old lady walked up to Luo Qingwan with a cane, trembling all over, and raised her hand to slap her, "This, it's your own sister, that, it's your biological mother!" ”
"You can do such a vicious thing, really...... What a disappointment for me! ”
The old lady withdrew her hand, touched a handful of tears, and shook her head not to look at her again.
The most beloved granddaughter actually did such a vicious thing for a few boxes of silver, how could it not be chilling and disappointing, the people on the side looked at it, and they also shook their heads, and the atmosphere suddenly became sad.
"Come on, lock the second lady in the firewood room of the West Courtyard, and don't let her out without my permission!" Luo Ting'an sighed and ordered.
