Chapter 274: Arson to extinguish the mouth
This paper complaint has not been replied to, it was known by Yang Xulin, and Qi Jun was not lucky, it happened that the Hebei Provincial Assassin Shi was also guarding the yamen in the county that day, and the Assassin Shi and Yang Zhongxing were classmates, he asked in detail about the matter, and Yang Xulin accepted bribes, so that the Assassin Shi trusted Yang Xulin more.
Qi Jun was arrested on the grounds of slandering the court officials and bribing the court officials, and tortured to make him confess.
The Qi family also had three accidents inexplicably, although Qi Jun was a businessman, he was also hard, he was tortured to death and did not draw a detention, after Qi Pei knew, he packed up his soft and wanted to go to Beijing to complain, and he was hunted down and killed along the way, from Hebei Road to Kyoto, he walked for half a year, he was tortured for half a year, and after all, he came here alive with a breath.
Fortunately, he was treated as a disabled beggar and was taken in, and the beggar felt that he was young and seriously injured, so he threw him in the lonely garden.
"County Lord, please do justice for my family." After finishing speaking, Qi Pei couldn't cry and pleaded.
Shen Xihe knew that there were drawbacks in many political actions of the imperial court, but he really experienced it himself, but his heart was extremely shocked, and his face turned cold: "Do you have evidence?" β
"Yes, the people who stole my family that day escaped and were sent by me to the Taoist temple that the Qi family worships all year round." There was a little light in Qi Pei's red eyes, and since Shen Xihe asked like this, it meant that he wanted to take care of this matter.
Of course, Shen Xihe has to take care of it, this matter is impartial and involves the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and she is worried that she has not caught their handle. If not, she would at most entrust Qi Pei and the evidence to the trustworthy Dali Temple.
Now, she was going to be involved herself, and while she was thinking, the sound of a gong sounded outside: "It's on fire, it's on fire, everyone put out the fireβ"
The thick smoke then drifted over, and the keeper of the Lonely Garden immediately called the children to run out, and the nearby villagers rushed over, and some people ran in to help carry the panicked children out.
In the smoke, Shen Xihe saw someone walking towards them with a steady pace and a clear goal, avoiding everyone and walking towards them, this person's posture and behavior were not like ordinary people who wanted to help put out the fire.
"Pearl, you protect Qi Xiaolangjun." Shen Xihe instructed, "Ah Xi, you carry Qi Xiaolangjun on your back, let's go." β
In order not to attract attention, Shen Xihe brought Pearl and came with Axi, with the last time Shen Yunan met the mountain bandits, Shen Xihe was not worried about Shen Yueshan, and sent a secret guard to accompany him, this time she came to the Lonely Garden, and she didn't bring a few people.
I never thought that the people of the Yang Mansion were so bold and reckless that they would set fire to cover up their extermination.
Shen Xihe took the lead, and the person who came was really coming for Qi Pei, originally just looking at them, but when he saw Qi Pei carrying with Ah Xi, his face immediately changed, but before he could make a move, Shen Xihe raised his left hand, and a needle shot at his neck.
He froze, and immediately fainted, and was held up by Pearl.
Shen Xihe used a numbing needle this time, this is a witness, how can he let him die easily, and it is not worth her to waste a poisonous needle.
And at this moment, two people rushed up from behind and attacked Pearl, these two people should have been the ones who ran in and set the fire.
Shen Xihe and Sui Axi, Pearl Kung Fu is not bad, and they are also easy to deal with these two people with martial arts, and they quickly put the two down, and the three of them just walked out, and five or six people rushed in, and when they saw this posture, they rushed directly towards them.
Pearl stepped forward and pulled out the soft sword, at this time, Mo Yu, who was waiting outside to Shen Xi and was inseparable, also came one by one, she turned around and kicked a person away, and fell in front of Shen Xihe: "I'll give it to you." β
After that, he protected Shen Xihe and rushed out with Axi, and I don't know how they set the fire, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and when some liquid splashes over, the smell of tung oil is permeated, Shen Xihe's face is condensed, and there are still people who take advantage of the chaos, and splash not water but oil by extinguishing the fire!
The lonely garden is a wooden house, and the fire is even more fierce after pouring oil, Qi Pei was arranged in the innermost courtyard, and when they got out of this courtyard, before they walked to the outermost courtyard, the fire had surrounded all the houses,
Mo Yu grabbed Shen Xihe's waist, and one jumped up, and a cold arrow broke through the air, forcing Mo Yu to take Shen Xihe and fall again.
At this time, the smoke was already very thick, the cold wind choked the nose, and the scorching firelight also flew from all around, as if to wrap them, and no one chased after the pearl, so they could only pull Shen Xi and them to hide in the courtyard without beams.
"You protect the county lord, I'll deal with the people outside!" Mo Yu brought the pearl here, and a flying one flew up, and a dense array of arrows flew towards her.
Mo Yu spun around and dodged dexterously, not caring about the fire flying under the eaves, a little on tiptoe, using a vertical body to dodge a row of arrows, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, another volley came, too dense arrows, even if Mo Yu was agile, there was still an arrow that grazed her shoulder, and she rolled down to the ground without changing her face.
One rolled and dodged a bunch of arrows, jumped onto the carriage they had parked at the door, and took the shelter of the carriage and rushed towards the man hiding in the shadows.
Shen Xihe stood in the open place, indeed not injured by the fire, but a large amount of smoke made her lightheaded, even if she used the sachet she was carrying, and the pearl wet the handkerchief from the snow next to Shen Xihe, it still made Shen Xihe not last long.
Pearl saw that Shen Xihe was crumbling, and as soon as she searched, she saw the closed door in front of her, she looked around at the fire, and felt that she forcibly slammed the door, maybe it would not collapse, and Shen Xihe would be able to run out.
It's just that the door is covered with a layer of fire, Pearl didn't hesitate to grab two handfuls of snow in her hand and rushed towards the burning door, Shen Xihe hurriedly reached out to grab her, but was a step too late, watching her crash towards the door, holding the snow with both hands pressed in front of the crack of the flame door, the snow turned into water, she didn't care about the burning pain in her hand, and hit it hard.
The door that had been burned by the fire was not strong, and Pearl had learned the art of breaking the door in the northwest, and the collision really turned out of the crack.
She retreated, her burned and peeled hands went to scratch the snow again, there was extreme pain between the patients, Shen Xihe wanted to stop her, but she couldn't stand at all, and when she opened her mouth, a large puff of smoke made her cough in a row.
Sui Axi couldn't stand it, so he put Qi Pei down, and also grabbed two handfuls of snow and followed Pearl to hit the door.
A crack was knocked out of the door, and a thick beam with flames fell on it, and Ah Xi hugged the pearl and protected her under him, and the beam fell heavily on his back, and his pupils constricted.
