Qin Hu was also unlucky, although he lived poorly at home, and when he arrived at An's poverty, he met a friend a month ago and was willing to partner with him, and bought some fireworks and firecrackers from Qiyang County and shipped them to the capital to sell them and make a lot of money.

He left his hometown on the occasion of the Spring Festival reunion, but he didn't expect to come to the capital but go to prison.

He held Su Ju'an's hand and said with tears: "I don't know that there is a problem with those goods, you help me, I don't want to stay in here." I haven't done anything bad in my life, I have no stains on my body, and the children are still waiting for me to go back for reunion!"

Su Tang'an sighed slightly and said, "I will find a way, as for the family, I will send some money over to let them have a stable year first." It's just that uncle, you also have to be mentally prepared, you may only be a trivial part of this matter, but you have been implicated in very powerful characters, and things are not as simple as you imagined, you may have to be wronged here for a few days. ”

Qin Hu sighed: "If I can't go out for the time being, then don't let my family know that something happened to me, and let them think that I was delayed in doing business in the capital." ”

"I see. ”

"Ann Tachibana, thank you!"

Coming out of the prison, Su Tang'an sighed slightly, and said to Su Zixuan: "Big brother, the friend in my uncle's mouth, can you help me find it?"

"Leave this matter to me. ”

"Uncle's matter was originally just to sell some substandard goods, but there are dead people, the consequences are too serious, if this matter is the Hou Mansion comes forward, there is still room for it, but if it is as you expected, there will be other news of accidents coming to the capital, then it will definitely lead to my uncle being dealt with seriously, and I can't save him when I want to." So the breakthrough in this matter is still his friend. ”

"I understand. Su Zixuan said, "But if this matter really gets to the point where it is serious in the future, you can't come forward again, otherwise you will only implicate Ziwei Palace." ”

"I'm going to be measured. ”

Su Tang'an returned to Lingyue Pavilion first, and Qing'er hurriedly ran over and said, "Miss, I have found out." ”

"What discovery?" asked Su Ju'an suspiciously.

"This thing, this thing can catch fire!" Qing'er said eagerly, "Miss Fang Cai handed this thing to the slave maid, and the slave maid thought about it in the yard and accidentally took a nap, but then the slave suddenly woke up and found that the sunlight was shining through it, and there would be a very bright dot on the ground, and that dot would ignite the dead leaves on the ground!"

"Really?"

"Really, I saw it with my own eyes. Qing'er nodded and said seriously.

"I see. Su Cheng'an said, "The place where the cotton silk is placed is close to the window, and there will inevitably be sunlight entering, and if this thing is adjusted, the cotton silk will be ignited and then cause an explosion!"

"Although I know that this thing is the reason for the water, but whose thing belongs to it?" Qing'er asked, "Who will put this thing in it?"

Even if she knew who this thing was, that person might not admit it, she just had to excuse it and accidentally leave it behind, and she didn't know what it was for. Su Ju'an's brows frowned slightly and said.

"So how about changing it now?" Qing'er asked.

"Qing'er, you spread the word that this thing in your hand is now in Lingyue Pavilion, but don't tell you what you know what it's for. Su Juan said, "Let's wait for someone to come back and ask for it." ”

"Yes. ”

In the evening, just after eating, Su Jinyan came to visit.

"Yo, what kind of wind is it today, it can blow you to my Lingyue Pavilion. Su Juan smiled faintly.

"Fifth sister, I have been reflecting on myself for a long time in recent days, I think I really can't stand you before, but what about you, regardless of the past suspicions, and gave me jade Ruyi, I am very ashamed, so I came here on purpose, I hope you can forgive me, how about we be sisters in the future?" Su Jinyan stepped forward to hold Su Juan's hand and said eagerly.

"Okay!" Su Tang'an smiled slightly, "It's best if you can think like this, is your body better?" I have a good ginseng here, you can take it back later and replenish your body." ”

"Thank you, Fifth Sister, you still have a lot of good things here. Su Jinyan lowered her eyes and smiled, "So, don't you blame me?"

"Between sisters, how can there be an overnight feud?" said Su Tang'an.

Su Jinyan hugged Su Juan affectionately and talked for a while, as if there had never been any estrangement between the two.

After a while, I saw Qing'er enter and whispered a few words in Su Cheng'an's ear.

Su Cheng'an looked at Su Jinyan with a smile for a while, and said, "Bring people up." ”

Qing'er nodded, and then the two mothers-in-law entered with a maid.

"She sneaked into Miss's bedroom and tried to steal something, and we caught her red-handed. Qing'er said.

"It looks a little familiar, fourth sister, this girl is your person!" Su Juan said lightly.

Su Jinyan's face changed, and he stepped forward and slapped the maid, scolding: "Bastard, who let you steal something!

"Since she is the fourth sister of yours, I will leave it to you to deal with. Su Tang'an said lightly, "But did you find what the fourth sister was looking for?"

"What do you mean, why don't I understand?" Su Jinyan's face changed slightly.

Su Tang'an took out a piece of transparent glass from his arms, played with it gently, and said with a smile: "If I'm not mistaken, you're looking for this thing, right?"

"What is this? I've never seen it. ”

"Fourth sister doesn't have to rush to deny it, after all, I don't have any evidence that this thing has anything to do with you. Su Cheng'an said lightly, "You have been to the warehouse, just to put this thing under the sun yourself, so that the cotton silk can catch fire, right?

"What the hell do you mean!" Su Jinyan said coldly, "I really don't understand what you're saying." ”

"As I said, what you did this time is indeed very good, and I don't have any evidence that the fire in the warehouse this time has anything to do with you. Su Juan said lightly, "I'm very puzzled, this thing is a Western tribute, and there are only a few in circulation on the market, and the price is very expensive, how did you get it?

"Fifth sister!" Su Jinyan suddenly stood up, her face was pale, and she said with a serious expression, "This matter is fatal, the stakes are high, you have no evidence, don't talk nonsense." ”

"I don't really have any proof. But as soon as you heard that this little thing had fallen into my hands, you came with a big eye, and tried to steal it, and said that this little thing has nothing to do with you? But even if you know that this thing has something to do with you, you can't help it. Su Ju'an smiled slightly, "You did a good job this time, and I won't say anything more, but you should know the consequences of messing with me." ”

Su Jinyan sneered: "It turns out that you have set up a complete set for me! It doesn't matter, if you have evidence, just come to me! What if you are provoked? There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are heavens outside the sky, there are too many people in this world who do not like you! You can be powerful in the Qihou Mansion, but can you still be powerful in the capital?"

Su Juan smiled faintly: "If you don't say it, you can probably guess who instructed you to do this thing." Let's go, but whether it's eating or sleeping in the future, you have to be careful with the people in your yard, it's a dry day, and if you accidentally go to the water, it will be troublesome. ”

"How dare you threaten me!"

"It's not once or twice, why aren't you used to it. Su Cheng'an smiled sarcastically, "Qing'er, find a good ginseng for Miss Four, maybe you can really use it in the future!"

"No need. Su Jinyan said coldly, "You can keep it for yourself." ”

Su Jinyan smiled and left in a huff, Qing'er snorted, and said coldly: "This is not a matter of human life at all, isn't it the life of a human being? How can you come up with such a vicious plan! Those who were burned to death, those who were burned should also go and see for themselves, don't they have nightmares at night? Miss, what should I do now?"

"Although I know that this incident is related to her, it is true that there is no evidence. Su Tang'an said, "The second lady is really in trouble this time, the old lady will not let go of this opportunity, I am afraid that in the future, the Hou Mansion will fall into the hands of Su Changle, but Su Changle cherishes his reputation, at least he will not do anything excessive on the surface." And the bigger storm is still to come, outside the Hou Mansion. ”

Su Tang paused and said, "Qing'er, you find someone you can trust, and I will send some silver to my uncle's family, so that they can have a good year." If it weren't for me, I'm afraid he wouldn't be involved in this matter. ”

"Okay, slave and maid, go and find a reliable man. ”

On the 18th of the lunar month, after the water went out of the Hou's Mansion, the first letter about the fireworks accident was sent to the capital, and on the 19th and 20th, there were five or six cases each, with a few casualties and dozens of people. The court paid attention to it, and Emperor Zhou sent someone to investigate the matter, and this result will set off a storm in the court. But this result will also be delayed until the end of the year, at least this year's New Year, which will not be affected too much.

Although the Qihou Mansion went out of the water, fortunately, it was dealt with in a timely manner, and this atmosphere did not have much impact. The Qihou Mansion also gave generous pensions to the casualties, so there were no troublemakers.

The treasury was quickly repaired, and the old lady ordered two coins of silver to be given to the subordinates of the whole house, so that no one mentioned the unhappy thing anymore, and it seemed that those bad luck were thrown away, and the lively preparations began again for the New Year.

On the twenty-second day, a troupe came to the capital, and the eldest grandson Qi invited Su Cheng'an to listen to the play together, Su Cheng'an was recently irritable because of the events of the previous days, and he also left his practice in Ziwei Palace, and he went to the opera garden with him, and naturally there was the eldest grandson Huiqing.

"I see that my eldest brother has been so busy lately, even if he is a person like my master who likes to be quiet, he has to enter the palace every day, why are you so idle?" asked Su Tang'an.

"Life is meant to be enjoyed, not to be busy. The eldest grandson shook a folding fan in winter, "I'm busy and idle." This troupe is well-known in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the early capital is only a little more than a month, so I naturally can't miss it. Let me tell you, the pillars here, Boss Wu's Kunqu opera is so beautiful, you will know later, that figure, that look, even the daughter's family can't compare!"

"You are really proficient in everything that eats, drinks and has fun. Su Tang'an said with a smile.

"I call it fun, let me tell you, that woman marries me in the future, it will be her blessing, this day will not be boring, but it's a pity that you don't have the vision to take a fancy to me, you fell in love with Gu Tingjun's kid, I tell you that kid looks like a human and has a chic and uninhibited appearance, but in fact, it is very boring in his bones, you will know it in the future." ”

"No matter how much nonsense you talk about, I don't mind tearing your mouth apart in public!" Su Juan said with a sneer.
