The courtyard was ruined.

In the second half of the night, the fire was finally extinguished by the fire master who had arrived late.

The collapsed masonry was covered with a thick layer of black ash.

As far as the eye can see, it is a ruined ruin.

A total of seven corpses were found in it.

Without exception, all of them became charred corpses, and they still maintained the last struggle before they died.

Xiao Qin pushed away the members of the Fire Division and knelt in front of the corpses.

From the unbelievable at first, to the extreme panic, and the pain that followed, it was overwhelming.

He finally couldn't help it, and in front of a group of people, he howled and cried.

The housekeeper Lao Chai was pressed under the bookshelf, and Aunt Zhang in the kitchen was hiding in the water tank and was steamed alive.

Four family members fell at the scene of the fire.

and Xiao An, who finally rushed into the stable, letting go of his most beloved black horse, the black horse called Daxia, but he couldn't climb out.

Uma could not find a way out and died at the scene of the fire.

Zhong Xiao, the captain of the fire division, led the team members, and after careful investigation, they came to a preliminary conclusion.

This is a man-made arson.

The smell of sesame oil can still be smelled at the scene.

The flames erupted from at least a dozen places at the same time, and the perpetrators threw fires with sesame oil in an obvious intention, as if to completely block the way out.

Trapped the people in the courtyard alive and burned to death.

Originally, even with the addition of sesame oil, the fire should not have been so fierce.

It's just that the southeast wind blew last night, and the wind was surprisingly strong.

At first, people wanted to put out the fire, but when they reacted, the fire could no longer be suppressed.

"Lord Xiao, this case should be reported to Your Majesty immediately." Zhong Xiaojian frowned: "Fortunately, Lord Xiao is fine, please mourn and change." ”

Xiao Qinchang buried his head, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Before Zhong Xiao opened his mouth, he had already guessed that last night's fire could not be an accident.

From Xiao An to wake him up, there was no way to escape, and it was only a dozen seconds.

And there was fire all around, and it was clear that the arsonist had already made careful preparations.

"Okay, I got it." Xiao Qin slowly stood up: "Please also ask Lord Zhong to play the Holy Lord truthfully." ”

Zhong Xiao asked, "Won't Lord Xiao meet the saint with us?" ”

"Now there are more important things than the face saint." Xiao Qin looked at the row of corpses worriedly: "They all died for me Xiao Qin." ”

"I will bury them with my own hands."

"It's my Xiao Qin who is incompetent, and he can't even protect his subordinates......"

Zhong Xiao still wanted to comfort something, and opened his mouth, but found that there was nothing to say.

beckoned, took a group of fire divisions, and quickly left the scene.

As soon as the fire division team left, Jingzhao Yin He knew that with a large number of teams, 100,000 rushed to the scene.

He knew that although Xiao Qin was embarrassed, he was fortunately safe and sound, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also at the scene the morning before yesterday, and he was one of the few officials who kept silent.

He witnessed with his own eyes the whole process of how Xiao Qin defeated the soldiers in the court.

also secretly speculated about the holy will, and understood that Xiao Qin was the emperor's person.

As soon as I heard the report, the Xiao family's small courtyard was flooded, and they were in a hurry.

Immediately ordered heavy troops and rushed to the scene.

It's okay, it's okay, God has eyes, Xiao Qin is fine.

If something happened to Xiao Qin, the emperor's henchman, in his jurisdiction, if the emperor was furious, he would inevitably be angry with him.

Originally, his position as Jing Zhaoyin had not yet been secured.

"Lord Xiao, you are frightened, hurry up, serve tea, what are you still doing! Lord Xiao, take a sip of tea, first suppress the shock, suppress the shock......"

Xiao Qin looked at He Zhi, his eyes wandering.

After taking the water cup and drinking several glasses in a row, I finally felt a little more alive.

"Lord He, after the curfew yesterday, did anyone with strange whereabouts appear?"

"Also, after the city gate is closed, is there any private release?"

"Also, who was in charge of the Night Guard last night?"

"By the way, I also asked Lord He to go to various shops immediately and carefully check the sale of sesame oil."

"Also, have people in various clothing stores recently bought a lot of black cloth?"

He knew that he was flustered, but his reaction was very fast: "Remember, remember!" According to what Master Xiao said, they were all written down word for word! ”

"And ......" Xiao Qin thought for a while: "I'll tell you when I think of it, please ask Lord He to lend me a few people......"

"I want them to be buried in the ground."

"Lord Xiao, this ......," He Zhi said embarrassedly, "According to the usual practice, these corpses still need to be autopsied. ”

"An autopsy doesn't have to be." Xiao Qin shook his head: "They all died in the fire. ”

"People are dead, and I don't want anyone to disturb them anymore."

"But Lord Xiao, if there is no autopsy, the suspicion of internal crimes cannot be ruled out."

"There are some cunning criminals, they will commit crimes again, they will swallow the tools of the crime into their stomachs, and if they don't cut the internal organs and flesh and bones, maybe they will ......"

Xiao Qin turned around suddenly, his face sinking like stagnant water: "Lord He! ”

"In your eyes, they may be worthless house slaves, and they will die when they die."

"But in the eyes of my Xiao, it is a family member who accompanies day and night!"

"I remember the names of each of them, Aunt Zhang, Zhang Xie's, her hometown is wandering, her husband has a son, she doesn't cook well, but she doesn't like others to say that."

"Lao Chai, Chai Hu, Mr. Qianbei County Ledger, likes to laugh, but he is actually very shrewd."

"Jia Ding Shi, an orphan, was originally a slave of the Pan Mansion, who was resold to the deed, and played a good slingshot."

"Xiao An, the groom who resold Pan's house, is loyal and honest, whatever the master says, is what he ......"

"And chestnuts, big strong, grass goose...... I remember every one of them, from the first day we met, they all called me master one by one. ”

"Da Zhuang said that he had never been out of the imperial city, and he didn't know what the clouds outside looked like, so I promised him that I would definitely take him out to have a long experience."

"The chestnut and the grass goose are brothers, but they often quarrel, no one obeys the other, and they are often preached by me."

"And ...... I remember them all, I remember them all......"

"Lord He, you said that I committed a crime inside the courtyard?"

Xiao Qin was sad and angry: "If they want to harm me, there are a thousand ways, and I will never survive now, and I can still patiently listen to Lord He's teachings." ”

"I am the owner of this small courtyard, and the murderer can only solve it with me Xiao Qin."

"All of them died because of my involvement."

"I only have two thoughts now, first, solve the case as soon as possible and find out the murderer behind the scenes, this time, no matter who it is, I want him, or them, to fight with my life!"

"Secondly, and that's the only thing I can do for them right now, to settle down."

"Lord He, you must give the deceased one last respect, you ,?!"
