Wangchuan City, in the inner courtyard of Hongyuan Wine Shop.

The fire that Jiang Chen and the others set just rightly burned down the house where Chai Qizhi's body was located, including some of the surrounding houses.

However, with the concerted efforts of everyone, it was mainly Jiang Chen's loud cry for help that was more timely, so that the fire could be extinguished before it caused greater damage, so that the entire wine shop would not be completely scorched.

Regarding this, Shen Ke secretly rejoiced in his heart for a long time, and asked him to exchange this wine shop for Chai Qizhi's life, he was still very reluctant, as the adopted son of the Shen family, he has been sending people under the fence, and he lives a life that is not even as good as a dog.

Hongyuan Liquor Store is the only family property that he has worked hard to run for many years, and it is also the only family property that truly belongs to him.

"So, if you hadn't asked Chai Qizhi here, he wouldn't have died so ugly, am I right?"

Shen Yinglong squatted on the ground and looked at it for a long time, but he never saw what the charred corpse in front of him had to do with Chai Qizhi.

Unrecognizable is not enough to describe such a tragic situation, Shen Yinglong covered his mouth and nose with a piece of brocade, still unable to stop the unpleasant stench coming to his face, he stood up with some disgust, and still refused to rashly conclude that this corpse was Chai Qizhi.

But the personal guards who followed Chai Qizhi that night could confirm that the general, who commanded the army in the city, died in a fire.

"Childe, I'...... I didn't know it was going to happen, it had nothing to do with me! Shen Ke hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, forgive me for not daring to lie in front of me, it's just that Chai Qizhi died a strange death, I don't believe this guy would be so stupid to play himself to death."

Shen Yinglong turned around and asked a few of his subordinates, "There should have been a woman with him that night, did you find other corpses?" ”

The subordinate shook his head and replied, "Childe, we only found this one body at the scene, and everyone else confirmed that it was safe and sound, and there was no second person who died in the fire." ”

Shen Ke lowered his head and swallowed heavily with saliva in his mouth.

His nervousness was almost completely written on his face, but fortunately, Shen Yinglong only thought that he was worried that Chai Qizhi would be implicated in this incident if he died in Hongyuan Liquor Store after all.

"It's not that simple, you guys continue to check for me, and you must find out the woman who appeared in Chai Qizhi's room that night!"

After speaking, Shen Yinglong glanced at Shen Ke, and then left in a huff.

Chai Qizhi's death was an irreparable loss for Shen Yinglong in a short period of time, of course he would be very angry, but he wouldn't know that this was just the beginning.

"The Shen family is to achieve the purpose of controlling the entire northern realm by controlling the large and small gate valve families in the northern realm, and Chai Qizhi's death will make the Chai family, another gate valve who was originally comfortable and surrendered to the Shen family, start to move."

Jiang Chen sat in the middle of the room while roasting the fire while boiling plum wine in the hanging stove.

This kind of wine can be found everywhere in the northern realm, but no one knows better than Jiang Chen how to bring out the exquisite taste in this wine, that is, in his palm-sized room, he is fortunate to taste the true value of this wine.

Shen Xueying's straight nose sniffed the aroma of wine, and said to Jiang Chen: "I haven't seen you go out in the past two days, and you don't even bother to ask about the situation outside, I'm really curious that you are so confident?" ”

"If things don't go as expected, or if something unexpected happens, won't it be too late to do anything about it?"

The corners of Jiang Chen's mouth raised a slight arc, and he told Shen Xueying that there was no difference at all, because he could make a move at any time and correct all the situations that might deviate from expectations.

is so calm and confident, Jiang Chen firmly controls everything in his own hands.

Shen Xueying originally came to Jiang Chen with a lot of news, but now seeing that the latter looked like he knew it well, she began to hesitate whether to say these things.

Because it seems to be redundant.

After Chai Qizhi's death, as the Chai family, which is the more powerful of the many gate valve families in the north, there are some very discordant voices inside.

A large part of the Chai family believes that Chai Qizhi did not die in an accidental fire at all, but was secretly killed by Shen Yinglong, and the incident happened in Shen Ke's wine shop, which is a good proof.

Everyone knew that Shen Ke was a dog by Shen Yinglong's side, and if he was instructed by Shen Yinglong to ask Chai Qizhi to meet at the wine shop, then it would be easy to do something in secret.

Chai Qizhi is in control of the army in the city, although Shen Yinglong reuses him, he will always be on guard, and it is difficult to ensure that there is some conflict between the two, which finally caused Chai Qizhi to die tragically in the fire.

The reason why there is such a suspicion, the members of the Night Execution Division lurking in the city have played a very big role, and the words are terrifying, even if it is a false thing, it can create a false impression that it is indeed true.

If he couldn't appease the Chai family, then Shen Yinglong's control over Wangchuan City would be greatly reduced, which was not the result he wanted to see.

Three days have passed since the incident, and even if Shen Yinglong is unhappy in his heart, he now has to go to the Chai family in person to offer condolences, and by the way, he can comfort these Chai family members who are about to move.

The Shen family's carriage stopped in front of the Chai Mansion, and Shen Yinglong's face immediately changed to a depressed and sad expression.

At this time, everyone in Chai Mansion was wearing linen and filial piety, some were crying and crying, and some were sad, and the eyes of these people who threw themselves at Shen Yinglong were all unkind, and they changed their courteous and flattering appearance in the past.

"Condolences."

"I am very sad about Brother Chai, but people cannot be resurrected after death, please mourn and change."

Shen Yinglong pretended to say a few words, and then stood in front of Chai Qizhi's spiritual seat and solemnly offered three incense sticks, and he was very sad during the whole process, and even choked up and convulsed.

To say that Shen Yinglong is really talented in acting, Jiang Chen can't help but applaud this guy when he witnesses this scene with his own eyes.

Shen Ke said nervously to Jiang Chen: "Although you pretended to be my servant and mixed in, I still don't know what you want to do, do you want to make a big fuss in the mourning hall?" ”

Jiang Chen's gaze moved away from Shen Yinglong and answered Shen Ke's question, "The Chai family has always been dissatisfied with the Shen family, but they don't dare to rashly confront it because of the difference in strength between the two." ”

"I'm just helping them make up their minds to have a good fight with the Shen family, maybe the northern border will be surnamed Chai from now on."

Shen Ke's two eyes were very shrewd and observed the people around him, and he reminded Jiang Chen not to talk about this kind of thing so loudly, otherwise the two of them would be killed here.
