"Do you know the cause of the fire?" Chu Wuxian looked at the gambling house that was getting closer and closer, and he could already feel the heat wave coming to his face.

The young man shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, I asked the guy at the gambling house, and said that there are still people in the backyard." ”

"Who's the shopkeeper? Where is it? ”

As he spoke, he had already arrived near the gambling house, and the Imperial Forest Army maintained order, not allowing idle people to approach the fire.

Yin Lu Suida of Jindu Mansion rushed over with people and was directing the officials to fetch water and put out the fire.

Chu Wuxian glanced at him and didn't step forward immediately.

The boy touched the back of his head and said, "My subordinates don't know." ”

Chu Wuxian ordered: "Go, find the shopkeeper." ”

"Yes!"

……

The fire in the backyard gradually became smaller, and the Jinyi guards who rushed in to save people carried out a few charred corpses.

When the Royal Forest Army saw people coming out, they immediately poured water on them, "How is it, are you okay?" Is there still a living mouth? ”

The brocade guards shook their heads: "There are no more alive mouths, only a few burned corpses have been found, these are carried out first, and there are still behind!" ”

"Good! A new batch of people went in! ”

A black corpse was carried out, and the onlookers outside couldn't help but exclaim, and Meng Changji, who was hiding in the crowd, looked at it coldly, silently counting the number.

After a quarter of an hour, the last group of people also came out and said to the Imperial Forest Army led by them: "My lord, they are all here, a total of eleven corpses. ”

"Okay, you will hand over these corpses to Jindu Mansion Yin ...... in a while"

What else they said later, Meng Changji couldn't hear it anymore, his heart jumped heavily, and his eyelids trembled.

Eleven? How could it be eleven? He counted clearly, twelve people were called tonight, how could there be only eleven corpses?

A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, like a lightning bolt tearing through the night sky, and he reacted violently: someone has run away!

Thinking of this, he fell into an ice cave, and his hands and feet instantly lost their temperature.

"Hey, have you seen the shopkeeper of Yuelai Casino?"

"It was still there just now, why is it gone in a blink of an eye?"

Jin Yiwei came over, Meng Changji suddenly felt that his scalp tightened, no, he couldn't stay here any longer, when Jin Yiwei came back to his senses, he would be exposed, and he had to run quickly!

He immediately bent down into the crowd and turned to leave, there happened to be a stable nearby, he took advantage of the chaos to lead a horse out of the distance, the voice faded, he turned over and jumped on the horse, his legs clamped: "Drive-"

The horses galloped up and carried him toward the city gates.

When the soldier guarding the door saw this and wanted to stop him, he shouted: "Jinyi Guard, who dares to stop me?" ”

Seeing that his speed did not decrease, the soldiers did not dare to stop him, and when he called himself a brocade guard, the soldiers were afraid that they would really delay something important, so they shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!" ”

The general on the city tower heard it and walked out suspiciously: "What's the matter?" ”

The soldier pointed to Meng Changji, who was going straight to the city gate: "General, that person said that he was a Jinyi guard, and he wanted to go out of the city to do business, so he opened the door on a humble position." ”

The general frowned: "Have you checked the token?" ”

The soldier was stunned and said, "No ......"

"Dare to open the city gate without you?" The general immediately glared at him and slammed him on the back of the head: "Don't stop anyone yet!" ”

"Yes! Hurry up, hurry up! Stop him and let him go only if he has a token! ”

However, it was too late, the moment the door opened, Meng Changji rushed over with his horse, and when the people wanted to stop him, he directly accelerated and crashed over, and the soldier dodged and rolled on the ground, so he missed the opportunity and watched the people run away.

The soldier was frightened and asked tremblingly, "General, what should I do now?" ”

"What else can I do? Go and ask Jindu Mansion Yin, what's going on in the city. ”

"Yes."

……

Jin Yiwei's search was fruitless, and he went back to report to Chu Wuxian.

Chu Wuxi's eyes condensed slightly: "Didn't find anyone?" ”

"Yes, I caught a few guys and asked, but they didn't know, saying that the shopkeeper was still there."

"Bring someone here." Chu Wuxian stood with his hands in his hands, watching the fire gradually weaken, and the fire reflected on his cold face, but it became more and more cold.

Xie Shuangge watched everyone come and go, obediently silent, she would not disturb her when Chu Wuxian was busy, she could still tell the difference.

"Commander Chu is also here." A slightly tired voice sounded behind him.

Chu Wuxian turned his head to see that it was Yin Lu Suida of Jindu Mansion.

He saluted back, "Lord Lu." ”

Lu Suida has a pair of triangular eyes, he doesn't look very friendly, his cheekbones bulge, he has a slightly mean appearance, and when he looks people up and down, he feels very uncomfortable.

Xie Shuangge had seen him a few times before, and he didn't feel very good, especially now, and he faintly felt that he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Chu Wuxi?

I don't know if it's her delusion.

"Commander Chu wants to arrest people?" Lu Suida had apparently heard the conversation he had just had with his subordinates.

Chu Wuxian said lightly: "Such a big fire almost burned the surroundings, so naturally I should check it carefully, I ran into it, there is no reason to ignore it." ”

Lu Suida snorted angrily, "But now that the official is here, it's better to leave these trivial matters to the official." ”

Chu Wuxian glanced at him inexplicably, not understanding what he wanted to do with this play.

At this time, Jin Yiwei has already bet the guys from the gambling house back.

"My lord, someone is coming."

The guys were a little scared at Shang Chu's hateless gaze, and they were even more trembling when they looked at the flying fish suit that was as gorgeous as blood.

"What do you command?"

The guy at the head mustered up the courage to ask.

Chu Wuxian was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw the Imperial Forest Army walking over with a scorched corpse, his expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward and said, "Wait-"

The Imperial Forest Army immediately stopped, "Lord Chu." ”

Chu Wuxian nodded: "This was carried out of the fire?" It's all here? Don't have a live mouth? ”

"Yes, there are eleven people in total, all here, and there is no living."

Chu Wuxian stepped forward to open the white cloth and took a look, Xie Shuangge followed and peeked, and then he was shocked by the tragic situation of the corpse: "Why is it burned like this?" No more flesh and skin? Even if the fire is big, it takes time to burn, so didn't they hide from it? ”

Chu Wuxian's heart moved, and he lifted the white cloth of the eleven corpses in turn, and sure enough, each one was as black as charcoal, and he was unrecognizable.

It didn't take long from the start of the fire to extinguish the fire, the backyard is big, even if the fire is serious, there is still a place to hide, how can it burn like this?

Unless...... They couldn't move.

Something flashed through Chu Wuxian's mind, his eyes sank, and he suddenly said: "These corpses are all carried to Beizhen Fusi, and these guys, none of them are allowed to be released, take them all away!" What is the name of your shopkeeper? ”

The guy was stunned, and said in a daze: "Meng Changji." ”

Chu Wuxian said: "The whole city is blocked, arrest Meng Changji!" ”

"Commander Chu, what do you mean by this?" Lu Suida, who was completely ignored, was furious, "Since the official is here, this matter should be handed over to the official to handle, you Jinyi Wei will just intervene sideways, and now if you don't discuss with the official, you will arrest people, so you can't take the official too seriously, right?" ”
