"Sleeping?" Rong Sheng had seen him in Steward Mao's room not long ago, and the fire in the house was raging, and the gongs had not stopped, so he could sleep like this?

Looking at Changfeng's dirty face and tattered clothes, he didn't seem to know, his slender five fingers were spread out, and his suspicious tone softened slightly, "Tell your master, I want to see him tomorrow." ”

Changfeng was surprised, Miss Rong Sheng avoided the master, how could she take the initiative to find the master? Could it be that he missed the important development by changing the guard? ”

The next day, Rong Jiangchen took the list presented by Steward Mao, calculated the losses in the West Courtyard, snapped, and threw the list on the table.

The Qingdao elders picked it up and examined it carefully, and then passed it on to the other elders. "There was such a big mistake, Rong Jiangchen, you can't escape the blame. In my opinion, find the arsonist first, punish him severely, and give an explanation to the head of the house. ”

Rong Jiangchen hesitated slightly, why didn't he want to find a scapegoat to make a hasty matter, but compared to Rong Caiwei's performance last night, this matter is definitely related to her, and she must be punished, so she must not be cut first?

When he hesitated, Rong Sheng brought Changfeng to greet him. "Elder Qingdao, uncle. ”

"Have you rested?" said Elder Qingdao, kindly concerned.

Rong Sheng smiled, "Toss for half a night, and when I go back to the East Courtyard, I will fall asleep." When the words fell, he caught a glimpse of Rong Jiangchen's sad face, and the Qingdao Elder also frowned, and couldn't help but ask: "Early in the morning, your face is not very good, something happened?"

"Hey. Elder Qingdao sighed heavily, but he didn't have the same worries as Rong Jiangchen, and raised his hand to transfer the list handed back to her, "I won't tell you the truth, the West Courtyard has suffered heavy losses, and we will discuss finding the arsonist first and then repairing the West Courtyard......"

Rong Sheng understood it in his heart, and took his words, "The West Courtyard is burned beyond recognition, you don't have a clue?"

"Well, the only clue is kerosene left behind the fence......"

Elder Qingdao originally expected to gather the servants in the palace and investigate them one by one, not to mention that the traitors would be taken down immediately, and there would be more or less new clues. Moreover, there are less than three days left before Mrs. Rong's death day, and the West Courtyard must be repaired before then, so that people who come to Rong's Mansion to mourn must not see jokes.

He looked kind, and for a while he had the idea of testing Rong Sheng, and his index finger pointed to the list she was holding, "What do you think?"

"No, it's just a trivial inference. ”

"Tell me about it. ”

Rong Sheng replied modestly, "Most of the west courtyard has been burned, and there is kerosene at the fence that has not yet caught fire, which is unreasonable, there may be two reasons, the kerosene flowed from elsewhere, and the middle failed to burn because other items blocked it." Or maybe there was kerosene behind the fence and it was spilled during the process. Specifically, you can find Steward Mao, look at the recent account book, and ask about the entry and exit of materials, so much kerosene is consumed, there must be a record. ”

"That makes sense. "Elder Qingdao threw her an approving look, there are many people in and out of the Rong Mansion, and there are many slaves who can touch kerosene, how do you judge?"

Rong Sheng said: "Last night Changfeng thought I was trapped in the house and tried to save me, but as a result, he found that my door was locked. ”

Elder Qingdao was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

"yes. Rong Sheng looked at Rong Jiangchen and smiled meaningfully, "I wondered, let's set fire to it, but I locked the door, and the fire spread throughout the West Courtyard, and it was me who burned, right?

Rong Jiangchen's eyelids jumped violently, and he retorted, "Look at what I do, as for me to set fire to damage the Rong family and embarrass you, a junior?"

"Uncle's thoughts, I don't know. Rong Sheng said lightly, and the end of his words turned around, "I sent a fake blood-colored coral to my uncle as a birthday gift, maybe my uncle is still angry about this matter in private and wants to teach me a lesson." After all, my status is humble, my life is thinner than paper, and no one will be held accountable if I die. ”

"What are you talking about?" Rong Jiangchen even thought about it in his heart, but it was difficult to admit it. "You used fakes, shoddy to prepare a big gift for me, three times and twice put the Rong family in danger, I don't care if you are a junior, you have intensified, opened your eyes and said nonsense to frame me, an elder. If I want to deal with you, will you choose this method of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 yourself? I am in charge of the Rong family, and I can get out of such a big basket?"

"You won't, what about Rong Caiwei, do you promise she won't?" Rong Sheng asked, "She doesn't like me, she entered the mansion from the first day and said that I stole her bracelet, if I hadn't proved my innocence, I would have been charged with stealing and sent to the government for strict punishment." On the uncle's birthday, her maid Qiu Cicada framed my guard, saying that my guard was worried about her beauty and bad intentions, and I was afraid of the uncle's face. Last night, she squeezed me with Jiang Wan, you all saw it. I really can't find a second person in the house who wants to get rid of me as soon as possible. ”
