Chapter 15: Reverse Scales

Remember [ .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The fire was finally extinguished.

Jing Zhaoyin worked all night, asked all the Meng family members present, and came to a conclusion that he had vetoed at the beginning - this fire really happened by accident, and it was not even a human accident, it was the oil lamp in the kitchen that had been extinguished that suddenly burned again, and a mouse hit the oil lamp, and the oil lamp fell in the pyre, causing a fire, which was later uncontrolled and developed to that big.

It sounds incredible, but it's just the way it is.

Jing Zhaoyin wanted to cry, he felt that such a conclusion would definitely be exchanged for scolding. But the truth of the matter is like this, he can't find a scapegoat to make a move, right? Jing Zhaoyin is a child from a poor family, and he is inspired to be a good official, and he will never do such a thing that is tortured, so he stubbornly reported such a conclusion to the superiors, and sure enough, in exchange for a scolding.

"Are you in the water in your brain? Such a big fire, can you believe that it was an accident? ”

Jing Zhaoyin burst into tears, knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach.

If you don't believe it, you have to believe it......

Jing Zhaoyin told his boss the confession he investigated and some other clues, that is, the military department secretary who was assigned someone to take care of this matter, and tried to tell the military department secretary, although this matter sounds a bit nonsense, but the truth of the matter is indeed the case.

The military department Shangshu sat at the large wooden table and listened to Jing Zhaoyin's report, but his thoughts couldn't help wandering.

I don't know what Jing Zhaoyin said, but the military department Shangshu suddenly interrupted and said: "You said that the cycle of karma is unpleasant, is there any truth in this sentence?" ”

Jing Zhaoyin was stunned: "...... Ha? What do you say, sir? ”

The military department Shangshu sat up straight, chattering: "What kind of existence the Meng family is, you and I should be clear, such a family, with such a special ability, will it be punished by God?" After all, if you want to wear its crown, you must suffer its weight. ”

Jing Zhaoyin's whole person was stupid, what did he hear?

Sky...... Damnation?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense, and he made a final version: "Yes! Damned! Don't you think Damnation is more convincing than the accident you said? ”

Jing Zhaoyin: "......"

The military department Shangshu turned his head, added the key word of heavenly punishment to the song, designated this fire as heavenly punishment, and reported it to Emperor Ningguo.

This matter is a later story, so I will not mention it for the time being.

At dawn, Zhao Qingxuan and Jiang Nannan left Shanshui Manor and came all the way to Ajia's base camp.

Ah Jia felt that the master seemed to be in a better mood, and secretly guessed whether this had something to do with the girl named Jiang Nannan who followed behind him.

Ah Jia still remembered that Zhao Qingxuan ordered him to investigate the matter of the Meng family, as soon as Zhao Qingxuan came, he couldn't wait to report the major incident that happened last night to Zhao Qingxuan: "Master, you don't know......"

Before Ah Jia had time to show off his ability to collect intelligence, Zhao Qingxuan spoke: "What happened to the fire yesterday?" ”

Ajia was surprised: "You know everything?" ”

Nonsense, burned like that, you can see the fire in the Shanshui Manor from afar, only the blind can't see it!

Zhao Qingxuan glanced over, and Ah Jia hurriedly said: "I was about to report this matter to you, the Meng family caught fire last night, and the burning was terrible, and the entire Meng family burned down, but fortunately, no one was injured, and the Meng family escaped safely." I heard that the fire was an accident, not man-made. ”

Not artificial?

Zhao Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, not believing it.

How could there be such a big fire? Can't be extinguished in time? Hey, this kind of nonsense is okay to fool the unreasonable people, but if you want to fool others, it's difficult.

Zhao Qingxuan didn't care much about this fire, he thought about it for a while, and then asked, "What kind of attitude does Emperor Ningguo have towards the Meng family today?" ”

Jiang Nannan pricked up his ears curiously, listening to the conversation between the two, this Meng family, is this the Meng family that captured Meng Wuving?

Ah Jia thought for a while before replying: "I don't know much about this matter, but looking at the current situation of the Meng family, I should be able to see the attitude of the current emperor, right?" The phoenix that sheds its hair is not as good as a chicken, and now the Meng family is not as beautiful as before, and this special ability is always easy to be feared by the superiors, so ...... The Meng family has been suppressed by various forces over the years, if Emperor Ning wanted to protect the Meng family, he would not let the Meng family be bullied like this, and even cooperated with the Sima family. ”

"Wait." Zhao Qingxuan interrupted Ah Jia's words, "You said that the Meng family and Sima cooperated? ”

Ah Jia's answer this time was obviously a little hesitant: "It's just gossip, I can't do it accurately, after all, it's Sima." I have limited ability, and I can't be sure if this news is true, but most of the things will not be groundless, and I think that there may be some private transactions between the two families to wear this kind of gossip. ”

Ah Jia's guess is not wrong, there is some kind of connection between the Meng family and the Sima family, and even some kind of deal has been reached, but it is unknown which person from the Meng family and the Sima family made this kind of transaction.

Zhao Qingxuan thought more thoroughly than Ah Jia, and he remembered that the eldest lady of the Meng family mentioned by Ah Jia before had lived in Shanshui Manor, and it was said that she had run away from home.

This eldest lady of the Meng family...... It's not simple.

Zhao Qingxuan opened his mouth and asked: "In this fire, what is the attitude of the eldest lady of the Meng family?" Or is there something unusual about it? ”

Ah Jia didn't know much, after all, the Meng family was locked up in the backyard of the yamen, and it was impossible for a person like him to go in, so he could only get some news by knocking on the side.

Regarding the news of the eldest lady of the Meng family, Ah Jia really didn't get any useful news for a while.

The Meng family was dragged to the backyard of the yamen, supposedly to investigate the fire. It is estimated that the cause of the fire has been investigated, after all, the Meng family still has some status, and it is impossible for Jing Zhaoyin to keep them locked up all the time, I am thinking, I will release them today. ”

And at this moment, Jiang Nannan, who had been listening quietly, poked Zhao Qingxuan's back, not very strong, itchy.

Zhao Qingxuan turned his head and squinted at Jiang Nannan, as if he wrote in his eyes-If you can't say anything useful, I'll split you.

Jiang Nannan pursed her lips and signaled that Zhao Qingxuan was currently a mute, and some things couldn't be done by comparison, she needed a set of paper and pencils.

Zhao Qingxuan straightened the corners of his mouth, turned around and instructed Ah Jia: "Bring a set of paper and pencils." ”

"Huh?"

The conversation is good, what do you want pen and paper for?

Ah Jia didn't understand what Jiang Nannan meant, but he still obediently obeyed Zhao Qingxuan's instructions, and took out a set of somewhat worn paper and pens and sent them over.

Zhao Qingxuan naturally wouldn't polish Jiang Nannan's ink.

Jiang Nannan could only be self-reliant, rolled up her sleeves and did it herself, and after a while, she wrote out what she wanted to say - I have seen that eldest lady of the Meng family.

"Oh?" Zhao Qingxuan raised his eyebrows, not surprised, and motioned for Jiang Nannan to continue writing.

Jiang Nannan pondered the wording - the eldest lady of the Meng family didn't seem to like the Meng family very much, I just mentioned the Meng family to her, and she immediately turned her face.

Jiang Nannan still remembers Meng Xi's original reaction.

She just casually mentioned the word Meng family to her, and Meng Xi, who was still chatting happily with her, instantly turned cold, and her tone became blunt, and the two finally broke up unhappily.

It's like, it seems that Jiang Nannan stepped on Meng Xi's reverse scales.

Zhao Qingxuan read this sentence written by Jiang Nannan and thought thoughtfully.

Ah Jia also said before that there were rumors through the grapevine that Meng Xi ran away from home, so the Meng family would go to the Sima family's Shanshui Manor to arrest people with great fanfare. Now Jiang Nannan said so...... Does this mean that the relationship between Meng Xi and the Meng family has deteriorated to a certain point?

Zhao Qingxuan even had a bold guess in his mind.

Could it be that this fire has something to do with Meng Xi?

The Meng family arrested Meng Xi back, Meng Xi was unwilling, resentful of the Meng family, and even resorted to this method of burning jade.

Zhao Qingxuan has not forgotten that Meng Xi is a powerful speech and spirit master, and with the blessing of her word power, it is not impossible for a fire to be burned like this.

Jiang Nannan thought of something, and wrote a few more lines - didn't the Meng family arrest Meng Wuving? Will Meng Wudi be with them now?

Zhao Qingxuan glanced at it and asked Ah Jia: "Does the Meng family have any other places to stay in the capital?" ”

Ah Jia nodded: "The Meng family has a hot spring village on the outskirts, which happens to be in the opposite direction from Shanshui Manor. ”

Case......

Then you can only go that way.

Ah Jia's guess was right, the military department Shangshu submitted the fold of forcibly giving the curse to heaven, and the emperor of Ningguo waved his pen, and the fire was characterized as the curse, and since then, the status of the Meng family in the mind of the emperor of Ningguo, under the impetus of people from all walks of life, has plummeted, and it is hopeless to see the salted fish turning over.

The Meng family didn't know that this fire would have such a big impact on the entire family, and at this time, the group walked towards the Meng family's village.

Meng Xi's health is an old problem, and the Meng family didn't take it to heart, even if Jing Zhaoyin found a doctor, the Meng family didn't let the doctor show Meng Xi's body, but hurriedly pulled the group away.

Suisui was anxious and angry, but at this time, Meng Xi woke up and comforted Suisui softly, she knew that her own body was fine.

Gu Changlin watched from the side, even if he was an outsider, he was full of anger.

How can there be such a family in this world?

Gu Changlin even said to Meng Xi: "Find a chance, I'll take you out." ”

Suisui rarely didn't choke with Gu Changlin, but echoed: "Look at the opportunity, with his skills, I think we can still escape." ”

Meng Xi shook his head.

She has her own plans.

Meng Xi intends to take a dead end, a dead end that will not turn back.

The group got into the carriage, Meng Xi thought of something, turned his head to Gu Changlin and said, "The kid you are looking for is called Meng Wuyi, who should be in the carriage behind." ”

Meng Wudi was watched very closely by the Meng family and did not let him show up, if it weren't for this fire, Meng Wudi might still be locked up in a small black room.

When Gu Changlin heard this, he couldn't wait to turn around and go to find someone immediately.

Meng Xi stopped him: "Don't worry, if you go to him now, you will only startle the snake." Do you think you can get out of here safely with him? If you can't, just stay honest. ”

Meng Xi, who has always been weak, showed domineering at this moment, and Gu Changlin, who was bluffing, was stunned for a moment.

The impulsive Gu Changlin really did what Meng Xi said, and honestly quieted down.

Anyway, Meng Wushu was by his side, and the Meng family couldn't hide him for a while.
