This warehouse is watered and extinguished, but a few days ago, the car of fireworks sent by Uncle Su Tang'an happened to be stored in the warehouse by the second lady, and this fire exploded, and the little guy who went to extinguish the fire killed two people and injured six people.

The damage to the storehouse was also very serious, but fortunately, the most precious things were preserved in another hut.

She knew that this time the old lady would not let her go easily, and handled the affairs here in the warehouse, properly treated the injured little girl, placed the dead little girl properly, and compensated her family, and explained a little bit about the few things prepared for the New Year, and then went to the old lady to ask for guilt.

Towards the end of the year, there was a bloody case, and the old lady was naturally furious, she was not used to seeing the second lady as a concubine, but she pointed fingers at the Hou Mansion, but she had the support of the Hou Ye behind her, and she was raising the little son, plus there were no particularly big mistakes in cooking big and small things, so she has been tolerated.

At present, the second lady is naturally impossible to take care of the house, even if the Hou Ye can't say anything, it's just that the Liu family behind the Su Liu family has fallen, and she herself is at fault first, and she can't help it, the old lady has decided to temporarily help Su Changle up, and after she becomes the princess of Chu in the future, there will be the Su Liu family in charge of the Hou Mansion.

When such a big thing happened, it almost caused a catastrophe, and the second lady was irrefutable, she was scolded by the old lady, and reflected behind closed doors in the Cold Moon Pavilion.

When Su Tang'an heard the news, he hurried back to the Hou Mansion and only went to the courtyard of the second lady.

"What the hell is going on?" asked Su Ju'an hurriedly.

"I think you have also heard about it, the treasury is overflowing, irritable, and the losses are heavy, not to mention the addition of a few people, it is my sin!" said the second lady with a sigh.

"The warehouse is heavy, how can there be an open flame?" Su Cheng'an frowned slightly, "And when the accident happens, it is daylight, and it is even more unlikely that there will be Mars, and there must be something strange about this matter." ”

"Do you suspect someone has set it on fire?" asked the second lady.

"Isn't it, just look into it. Su Tang'an said, "Don't worry, just leave this matter to me." ”

"I'm also worried that this matter may be directed at you. The second lady hesitated a little and said, "If someone deliberately set fire, it is impossible not to know that there are fireworks stored in the warehouse, or they want to deliberately make things bigger." Now that there is a human life, the Hou Mansion is in the water, and there is a rage, and the black smoke is like a cloud above the Hou Mansion, and the sound shakes the surroundings, and it is impossible to hide it if you want to. Those fireworks were sent by your uncle, and maybe they will also be investigated by the government, which may be the point behind it. I'll only be here for a few days at most, but you, be careful. ”

Su Tang'an was silent for a moment and said, "I know, anyway, I will figure this matter out." ”

After Su Tang'an left, he immediately began to investigate the matter, and the person in charge of guarding the warehouse at that time was the first to find that the warehouse was flooded, and immediately began to put out the fire, three people, two dead and one injured.

The injured person had been healed by Chenguang, and he suffered extensive burns on his back, but fortunately he saved his life.

When Su Cheng entered, he lay on the bed to recuperate, and his face was extremely painful.

"What exactly happened at that time. Su Juan asked, "How can there be an open fire in the warehouse?"

"I don't know if it's a little one. Xiao Zheng glanced at Su Cheng'an, "The little ones didn't neglect their duties, the little ones have been guarding the warehouse, but I don't know why this happened." At that time, we were chatting outside, and suddenly we found smoke coming out of the warehouse, so we immediately went in to check, it turned out that the place where the cotton silk was stored was on fire, we immediately went to get well water to prepare to extinguish the fire, what we didn't expect was that the place next to the cotton silk was those fireworks, and when we took the water back, there was an explosion! We didn't have time to escape, and the two brothers also went!

"You've been looking at the door, and no one has ever been in the storeroom at that time?" asked Su Ju'an.

"No! I remember clearly, the three of us were guarding the door of the storeroom, and no one went in. Xiao Zheng said categorically.

"How can such flammable and explosive things as fireworks come to visit next to cotton silk?" asked Su Ju'an.

"I don't know this little one...... The small one also remembered it later, when it was on fire, I didn't think of this stubble, the small one remembered clearly, this fireworks were sent to the warehouse by the small one himself, and put it together with some porcelain. ”

"Then who went into the warehouse before the fire?" asked Su Juan again.

"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are more things needed in each hospital, and there are more people coming to the warehouse recently. Xiao Zheng said.

"Do you think anyone is weird?"

"Strange? This little one didn't notice. Xiao Zheng said, "But all the courtyards come to pick up things are maids or servants, only the fourth lady has come in person, and she chose two pieces of silk and satin, saying that she was going to make clothes." ”

"Su Jinyan?" Su Cheng'an silently read the name softly, and there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.

"Hello, don't worry too much, the Hou Mansion will not treat you badly. Su Tang'an said, "If you need anything, just tell the person who takes care of you, let him come to me, and I will find it for you." ”

"Thank you, Miss Wu!"

Su Tang'an went to the warehouse to check again, the dust inside was still very choking, she wet the handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, most of the things in the warehouse were moved to the yard to be recounted, she wanted to enter, the two little maids stopped her, and persuaded: "Miss, it's very dirty inside, you still don't want to go in, in case something happens, the small one can't afford it." ”

"I'll go in and take a look, and if you two don't feel at ease, come in with me." Su Tang'an said and entered the warehouse, the fire was quite strong, the walls would be blackened, the windows were broken, and the fireworks stored at that time were not much, otherwise the consequences would be more than that.

"This is where the cotton silk was originally stored?" asked Su Tang'an.

"Yes, this is it. ”

"The wall burned the most, and I think it was the place where the fire first caught fire. Su Tang'an glanced at it, this place was close to the window, and at this moment he could still see the sunset outside dragging a long tail.

When Su Tang'an was about to turn around, she suddenly stepped on something, she picked it up and took a look, it was a round black thing, the size of a palm, slightly thicker in the middle, and a little thinner around it.

"What is this?" asked Su Tang'an.

"This ...... The little ones don't know either. ”

Su Tang'an didn't ask again, took the black hug, and left the warehouse.

Back at Lingyue Pavilion, Su Ju'an was still looking at this little thing, Qing'er leaned over and asked, "Miss, you've been watching it for an hour, what is this black thing!"

"I don't know. ”

"It's dark, it's dirty, I'll wash it for you. Qing'er snatched the thing over and said, "It's too late today, Miss, you go to bed first, tomorrow, the slave will definitely return this thing to Miss!"

"Good. Su Tang'an smiled slightly.

Early the next morning, Su Tang'an got up and found Qing'er standing in front of the window, and she asked strangely, "What are you doing?"

"Miss, look at the ground. Qing'er smiled.

Su Tang'an looked at the sunlight scattered on the ground, but there was a little bit of special brightness, she glanced at Qing'er's hand, only to see that she was holding a transparent thing, and asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

"This is what the young lady brought back last night, the slave maid washed with water last night but couldn't wash it clean, and then tried the alcohol before wiping it clean. It seemed like a stone, but the slave had never seen anything like it. ”

"Bring it and show it to me. Su Juan said.

Su Tang'an played with it for a moment and said, "The material of this thing is very similar to my kaleidoscope, it is all transparent, it seems to be called glass." ”

"I think so. ”

"This thing is a Western tribute, how can it appear in the treasury of the Hou Mansion?" Su Juan wondered, "Does it have anything to do with the fire in the treasury?"

"Miss isn't going to Ziwei Palace today?" Qing'er asked.

"Not today. Su Tang'an said, "I will definitely find out the reason for the water in the warehouse." ”

Su Tang'an played with this transparent thing in the courtyard and basked in the sun, although he wondered in his heart that this thing would appear in the warehouse, but he couldn't figure out what the connection was between this and the water in the warehouse.

"Tachibana. ”

Su Zixuan walked over quickly and said, "Your uncle has an accident. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yesterday, the explosion in the Hou Mansion attracted the attention of the government, and the goods brought by your uncle from Qiyang were seized, all of which were fake and shoddy, and now he is being imprisoned. Su Zixuan said.

"It really seems to be coming for me. Su Juan frowned slightly and said.

"I'm afraid it's more than that. Su Zixuan continued, "Qiyang is a county town specializing in the production of fireworks and firecrackers, and the goods are supplied to the entire Great Zhou, and your uncle did not produce them, but just sent them to the capital to sell." Behind this is Qiyang County, and under the entire investigation, it is the second prince who is involved. ”

"This matter is also related to the second prince?" asked Su Tang'an.

"It's complicated. Su Zixuan said, "The county magistrate of Qiyang County has a close relationship with the second prince, and the raw materials used in the production of fireworks in Qiyang County also come from the industry under the second prince. If I'm not mistaken, in recent days, there will be a lot of news about fireworks accidents coming to the capital. ”

"It seems that the other party's purpose is the second prince, and the matter of the Qihou Mansion is just a product of incidentality. Su Ju'an smiled mockingly, "I want to meet my uncle, since it is my mother's family, I will try to keep him safe." ”

"Although I think it's better for you not to come forward at this time, you can't stay out of it with your temperament. Su Zixuan said, "Let's go, I'll go with you." ”

"Hmm!" Su Juan nodded lightly, "Although since I have also been calculated, I may make a big fuss about my uncle's affairs, making people suspect that Ziwei Palace is also involved, so as to ruin the prestige of Ziwei Palace for many years, it seems that the other party has not given up on the other party's Ziwei Palace!"

"Qing'er!" Su Tang'an called Qing'er to her side and handed her the transparent glass in her hand, "You take this thing, take a good look at it, and see if there is anything strange." ”

"Oh, okay, miss!" Qing'er was a little confused, but she was still obedient, and carefully held the thing in her hand and looked at it.

And Su Tang'an immediately went to the prison with Su Zixuan, and saw Qin Hu first.
