Just after the hour, the main city of Ningguo burst into flames, waking up a large number of innocent people who were still in the sweet dreamland.

The structure of the main city of Ningguo is particularly interesting, and it can be seen as being composed of one ring after another. The central ring of the palace is surrounded by a moat, and beyond the moat are the mansions of the rich and powerful princes and eunuchs, and then close to the rich ordinary people, and the outermost layer is the ordinary people with ordinary families.

Together with this fire, the outermost civilian area did not have much impact, and the innermost palace, because of the protection of the moat, was basically unaffected. The hardest hit was the Guangong District in the middle.

Most people were ignorant, and they hurriedly ran out of the house for fear of being affected by the fire, and few people knew how the fire happened.

"What happened?"

"Where is the fire?"

"Oh my God, why is there such a big fire, come and put out the fire!"

"I heard that the government has sent people to put out the fire."

And only a very small number of people with a heart will find out that this fire was burned from the Meng family.

The Meng family had been burned to the ground, and the fire had been extinguished by the efforts of the firefighting officers and soldiers sent by the government, who had moved to the battlefield to extinguish the surrounding mansions. Under the leadership of the officers and soldiers, the people of the Meng family gathered in the backyard of the yamen, partly because such a large number of people were not easy to dispose of casually, let alone let them stay in the Meng family, because although the fire was extinguished, the Meng family had been burned into a pile of ruins, and there was no way to live in it; Another part of the reason is that it is impossible to start such a big fire for no reason, and the perpetrators of the crime, even if they are not among the people in this Meng Mansion, are inextricably linked to them.

Jing Zhaoyin returned to the yamen sweating profusely, his white and chubby face was covered with dust, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead, not only did he not wipe it clean, but made his whole face look more like a flower cat.

"What about the Meng family?" Jing Zhao Yin was a little blessed after he got married, and his fat body staggered forward, asking the little soldiers who followed him as he walked.

The state of the little soldier is not much better than Jing Zhaoyin, he has just come from the fire, and even his hair is burned, he replied: "It's all in the backyard, but it's ......"

"But what, spit, if you have something to say!"

Suddenly there was such a big fire, and if it only burned the Meng family, it would be okay, but several mansions near the Meng family were affected, and the impact was quite large, the prime minister's family, the Wang Yushi family, and the military department Shangshu family, these three families were the most seriously affected, and most of the mansions were burned black, if Jing Zhaoyin didn't handle this matter well, just wait to be involved.

That's a hot potato!

The Meng family is so good, how could there be such a big fire? Jing Zhaoyin had a headache.

Xiao Bing wiped his sweat: "The old man of the Meng family is too old to stay in the courtyard so late, so the little one is in charge and ordered someone to clean up a room in the back wing room for him to rest." ”

"It's done properly." Jing Zhaoyin praised.

The soldier added: "There is still ...... Is that Miss Meng family sick? ”

Jing Zhaoyin blew his beard and glared: "What's the matter with you?" The Meng family is also a big family, how can you say that the eldest lady is sick? ”

"No, no, no." The soldier scratched his ears and cheeks and explained, "That's not what I meant...... That's the case, that eldest lady of the Meng family vomited blood and fainted as soon as we took it, and she hasn't woken up yet, and we are all worried about whether she is going to die...... There is a very powerful girl beside her, and there is a very powerful subordinate, who said that she would take the eldest lady to see a doctor, if we delay and we can't afford to be responsible, where do I dare to stop it. ”

"So you just let them go?"

The little soldier sighed: "I originally wanted to let go...... That's a human life, and besides, how could such a delicate eldest lady set fire to her own house. But the strange thing is that the Meng family said that they would not let us let the eldest lady of the Meng family go. ”

When Jing Zhaoyin heard this, he felt a little strange: "How did you say this?" ”

The two talked as they walked along.

Xiao Bing said: "It stands to reason that my daughters are vomiting blood and are in a coma, and the family will definitely want to find a doctor immediately, but this family ...... If I didn't let her go, I had no choice but to clean up another room and let the eldest lady of the Meng family live in, and send someone to find the doctor. But it's so late, and it's hard to find a doctor. I can only hope that the eldest lady of the Meng family can stand up, at least until the doctor comes. ”

The creep sighed.

Such a weak little girl, he couldn't bear it, but the Meng family was really too tough and strange.

This is the ...... It's really weird.

Jing Zhaoyin also doesn't understand the circles between these big families, he is a small family who worked hard to fight for the current official position, and he doesn't understand the darkness of big families.

As the two spoke, they had come to the backyard of the yamen.

There are not many people in the Meng family, and they are crowded in the backyard at the moment, and a few people can't care about anything when they are sleepy, and they lie directly on the stone slab to sleep as soon as their clothes are rolled.

Jing Zhaoyin went straight to the point: "What about the people in charge of you here?" ”

The chief housekeeper of the Meng family didn't know where to get out, and he had an elegant and polite smile on his face: "My lord, I am the housekeeper of the Meng family." ”

The Meng family's bloodline is not much, and it is even a little thin, and there may be two or three descendants in each generation. Now the old man of the Meng family can be the master of the house, that is, Meng Xi's grandfather. Meng Xi's father and mother were not here, and they went out two days ago, so they were not affected by the fire.

The old man of the Meng family is very old, and he was frightened by the fire, so he is lying in the room to rest at the moment. Therefore, there are so many people who can stand up and take charge of things, and there is really only this Meng family's big housekeeper.

Jing Zhaoyin had been briefly told some things about the Meng family by the people around him before he came, and when he saw a young man jumping out, he didn't plan to think about it, but asked, "Do you know how this fire started?" ”

The chief housekeeper of the Meng family showed a wry smile and said, "It's so late, everyone in the house is asleep, and only one or two subordinates are still patrolling. What's more, the Meng Mansion is not small, I really don't know why the fire broke out, maybe it was someone who didn't extinguish the oil lamp after resting, and it wasn't necessarily that he accidentally knocked over the oil lamp. ”

The words of the chief housekeeper of the Meng family are to define the fire as an accident, not a man-made one.

But Kyung Zhao Yin disagreed. If there is an accident, it will not develop into such a big fire today, and someone will inevitably add fuel and fuel to the fire in the back, and it will develop to this point.

Jing Zhao Yin thought about this, took out a little momentum as a court official, and scolded: "Do you really not know, or do you pretend not to know?" You know, it's a felony to know and not to report it! ”

The chief housekeeper of the Meng family is also a talent, and the expression on his face did not change when he heard this, and he still smiled bitterly: "I really don't know, and there are not many people in the Meng family, come to harmony quickly, and the master treats us kindly, so we can't do this kind of thing of setting fire to the house." ”

The Meng family's big housekeeper picked all the subordinates clean with this sentence.

He also said: "If it is said that the masters did it, it is even more impossible, who has nothing to do when they are full and has nothing to do to burn their own mansion?" ”

Well, in a word, the suspicion of the Meng family has been cleared again.

Jing Zhaoyin raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean, is it made by outsiders?" ”

The chief housekeeper of the Meng family shook his head cautiously: "I don't know, the Meng family has a big business, and it is inevitable that there will be a big trick, and there will be jealousy." ”

Jing Zhaoyin realized that he couldn't get any useful words from the mouth of the sleek Meng family's chief steward in front of him, so he could only find another way, and ordered people to ask the Meng family's subordinates one by one, trying to get some clues.

After doing all this, Jing Zhaoyin thought about it, turned his head and asked the Meng family's chief housekeeper: "Is your eldest lady in good health?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin felt that since the Meng family had come to his own territory, he categorically couldn't let their people die here, listening to Xiao Bing's description, the eldest lady of the Meng family was not in good health, if something happened to him, he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River.

The chief housekeeper of the Meng family lowered his head, his face changed, but he quickly returned to normal: "I'm worried about the adult, Miss, this is an old problem, it doesn't matter." ”

Old problems?

And the old problem of vomiting blood?

Jing Zhaoyin said "tsk" twice, turned around and ordered someone to find a better doctor to take a look at Meng Xi.

Jing Zhaoyin has been busy for a day, and he wants to find a place to lie down first, this matter is not over yet, and when it is dawn, there are more things that he needs to deal with, he can't hold it anymore, and it will definitely not work if he doesn't take a break. He just walked to the door, but he didn't know where to rush out a little boy who was only waist-high to him, which startled Jing Zhaoyin.

The little boy looks very pleasing, the big eyes are round, it was a very cute look, but there seems to be no light in the depths of the eyes, gloomy, once he meets his eyes, it is a little crazy.

Jing Zhaoyin just inadvertently met his eyes, and was so frightened that he staggered back and almost fell, but fortunately, the person who followed behind him quickly supported him.

Jing Zhaoyin gasped: "This ...... Who is this? ”

Another mother-in-law rushed over, grabbed the little boy, pulled the little boy behind her, and nodded to Jing Zhaoyin: "Adults forgive sins, adults forgive sins, children are ignorant and bumped into you." ”

How could Kyung Zhao Yin really get angry because of a child?

He could only comfort the frightened mother-in-law for a few words, thinking that the child was the grandson of the mother-in-law, and turned away.

It's just that......

Jing Zhaoyin always felt that the little boy was strange, especially the eyes, and the silent indifferent expression, not like the innocence that should be at this age.

The more I think about it, the stranger it gets.

After Jing Zhaoyin left, the mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the little boy, but was shocked when she met his eyes.

Even if I've been looking at it for so long, I'm still not used to this look.

The mother-in-law looked away, stabilized her voice, and said, "Little master, please be honest, don't run around, okay?" ”

The little boy didn't speak, blinked, tilted his head, and looked at the high courtyard wall.
