"Last night, the palace was murdered and set on fire, and when Wuhoupu found it, the fire had already risen very big, and it has not been extinguished until now."

The prefect said and wiped the beads of sweat that fell from his face with his hands, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart, fortunately, there was no wind recently, otherwise the loss would be great, and the consequences were not something that he, the prefect, could bear.

"How's the fire going? What about casualties? What about the prince! Wu Yaoan glanced at the fire.

"Basic... It's under control..."

Before the prefect finished speaking, Wu Yaoan bypassed him and walked in directly, the front yard was relatively intact, but it also suffered some different damages.

After walking through a few more foyers, I arrived in the backyard, and the scene in front of me was completely different from when Wu Yaoan lived a few days ago.

The burnt beams and pillars, the corpses neatly placed on the ground, and the people who came and went poured water on the fire that had not yet been extinguished, Wu Yao'an's mind suddenly recalled the details of the day of the banquet, and recalled the picture of the maid pouring wine for her.

"Shaoqing! Shaoqing? The prefect also followed, and after seeing those corpses, he suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach, and turned his head slightly to look at Wu Yaoan, "There are not many people left in the mansion, and the backyard is basically burned down, this is the housekeeper in the mansion." ”

After speaking, the prefect turned sideways, and Wei Chi took the opportunity to look at the butler who was still trembling, and he also looked like a master of the six gods, and the whole person seemed to roll out of the ashes.

"Nothing has been found on such a large fire mansion?" Wu Yaoan took his eyes back from the corpse, and there were still people around him who kept transporting the charred corpse to several people.

"Back to my lord, I don't know how last night, everyone slept very soundly, and even the dog in the yard didn't notice it." The butler said, gesturing to the charred body of the dog.

Even the dog didn't have anything abnormal? It seems that it should have been poisoned, or it was set on fire by the people in the house, if only Chen Yi was there, I don't know if the work here can be detected.

Wu Yaoan pondered for a while and looked at the prefect: "Lord Lao Fu will take back to the yamen everything they ate and drank last night, and I will check it carefully when I go back." ”

After speaking, he looked at the housekeeper and continued to ask, "What about the prince?" The prince is fine, where did he sleep yesterday? ”

If it's the vestibule, there's still a chance to live, and if it's the backyard, I'm afraid... Thinking of this, Wu Yaoan couldn't help but tremble his eyebrows.

Only then did he send King Jing's rebellion to Ouchi, and now there is such a thing, and this fire obviously makes her untraceable.

He was about to find Dürer's stall, but Dürer disappeared. found the head of King Jing, this King Jing seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, a fire, burned. Even though she had seen so many cases, it made her shake her body a little frightened now.

Seeing this, Wei Chi stepped forward to hold Wu Yaoan in his arms, stretched out his hand and pasted it on the other party's forehead, and said with relief: "I'm a little tired from traveling overnight, don't work too hard." ”

Wu Yao'an raised her somewhat tired face slightly, and looked at Wei Chi's apricot eyes, this time she was surprised to find that there was a trace of other emotions in those eyes, and it was not a pool of stagnant water and lifeless like usual.

After getting up, Wu Yaoan was attracted by other voices before he could stand still.

"Found it, found it."

"Lord Prefect, Shaoqing, Sizheng."

Several servants in the mansion over there put the two corpses carried out next to the corpse pile, and the servants in the mansion here also rushed over with tools on their backs.

"These two bodies were found on the bed, and they look like they're amazing... Rajah. The two servants who carried the corpse touched the ashes on their faces and said.

"I'll do it." He spread out his tools and squatted in front of the corpse that was said to be King Jing and examined it.

Later, some officials from the state capital came one after another to deal with the aftermath, and I don't know if they were thinking too much about the things in their heads, or if they were really too tired from traveling. By the time Wu Yaoan came out of the chaotic mood, the two of them had already walked in the downtown area.

"Do you want to eat a bowl of wonton, I see that there are a lot of people over there, and it should taste good." Wei Chi said and pointed to the stall that had been erected not far away with the hilt of his knife.

After Wonton came up, Wu Yao took a breath of satisfaction with satisfaction, and then quipped: "You can still eat such a big thing in the palace, and you are also a genius." ”

"Each other, don't you also eat the fragrance." Wei Chi picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup, and immediately felt refreshed, and Wu Yaoan didn't speak again after eating.

After dinner, Wu Yaoan touched his round belly and stretched out with satisfaction.

"By the way, you look like you don't care about the world, why do you want to take Zhao Zhen in? Aren't you afraid that she was sent by someone to make a fine work or something? ”

"Even if it's fine, it doesn't matter, I look at her hands, touch her shoulders and arms don't look like a practitioner, and I see her eyes are clear, like an ancient."

She hadn't seen such clear eyes for many years, except for that time on the battlefield, but the man would never come back.

Wei Chi paused and explained in a low voice: "Even if it is a fine work... She was still young and had many opportunities to change. ”

Wu Yaoan sighed and waved her hand, she sometimes didn't understand why the world was so obsessed with changing irrelevant people. Compared to human nature, it is still the truth that is worth pursuing.

"It's getting late, let's go back. These tricky things still have to be dealt with. ”

Seeing Yu Chi's figure, Da Wu got up and couldn't help complaining, "You guys are back, that little girl is crying so much that both of us are big, she thinks you don't want her anymore, and she keeps making trouble." ”

"No wonder you haven't married or had children." Hearing this, Da Wu stood up and suddenly sneered.

said that he had been crying all afternoon, but Wei Chi didn't hear any sound in the yamen, and couldn't help asking, "What about people?" ”

"Back wing."

Wei Chi instructed to find the back room, and Zhao Zheng was like a crab, gagged and thrown on the bed.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear some sobbing sounds, and Wei Chi stepped forward and took out the sackcloth from Zhao Luo's mouth, and then heard a piercing cry.

"Don't send me to the government, I don't want to see the official!" Zhao Ji twisted his body and moved back twice, but the effect was not good, and Wei Chi stretched out his hand and dragged it back.

"No one asked you to go to the official, this is where we live." Wei Chi said as he stretched out his hand to untie the other party.

Wu Yaoan followed closely behind and appeared at the door of the back wing, looking at Zhao Luo's appearance and laughing regardless of his image.

"Hahaha, look at your bear? What's naughty? Tied up? It was said that she was a big official. Wu Yaoan said and stretched out his finger to point at Wei Chi, but what he didn't expect was that he was rolled his eyes by the little kid again.

"Oh... Oh. General Zhao nodded suspiciously, and looked at Wei Chi with innocent eyes, "Can I learn kung fu from you?" You must be very good at kung fu, right? ”

Hey! Wu Yaoan suddenly looked at Zhao Luo with wide eyes, and picked up a competition for favor? Right now, I grabbed the child by the back of the neck and threw her out of bed.

"You'll do what you like." Wu Yaoan said, stepped forward and grabbed Wei Chi's wrist and walked out in the opposite direction, "Today, you play by yourself first, we still have official business to do, come and see you later." ”

Zhao Luo saw that the two disappeared figures were not crying, reached out to wipe the tears on his face, and nodded silently.

"Where did you put the things you got back from the palace?" Wu Yaoan saw the scribe in the courtyard and stopped him and asked.

"Lord Hui Shaoqing, they are all in the side hall where the corpse is placed."

"Are you back?"

"I haven't seen any of them."

Wu Yaoan nodded, and took Wei Chi and Da Wu to the side hall. While the few people were walking, Wu Yaoan gave a general explanation of the case.

The side hall in this yamen is used to park the corpses, and in the most inconspicuous corner of the yamen, even in the middle of the hot summer, it will make people shudder.

"It doesn't look like there's anything worth studying, I can't tell what these things are, not to mention that we don't want to determine if those two corpses are the prince now?"

"Don't you smell fire oil on these things?" Wu Yaoan said and placed a few items with a strong taste in front of the three of them.

Da Wu put them under their noses and sniffed them carefully, but they didn't smell the smell of fire oil, but Wei Chi took out a burned wooden box and looked at it.

"If it's not fire oil, it's also oil, you see here, it should have been stained when the oil was poured, and there were this tree-like burn marks from the bottom of the basin, and this part burned a little faster than other places. The line wouldn't be so clear with normal burning. ”

Wei Chi said as he stretched out his finger and pointed to the burnt mark on the wooden basin. With Wei Chi's words, Wu Yaoan was even more sure that the fire in the palace was deliberately burned.

"It's not too early, now wait for the results over there." Wu Yaoan said and looked at Da Wu and the others.

"Don't meddle in this matter of the palace, you still need to check the whereabouts of Dule, and go to the Duan Mansion to ask if there is any news."

After Wu Yaoan finished speaking, he waved his hand angrily, "I'll go sleep first, and you can do it yourself." ”

"The arms should be straight, the legs should be steady, and the punches should be fast..."Wei Chi said and slapped Zhao Luo's wrong posture with the back of his knife.

Listening to the sound outside, Wu Yaoan sighed, sat up wrapped in the quilt, and looked through the door with sleepy eyes, one large and one small, at the two figures outside the house.

In the past, Wei Chi Chenlian's voice was the sound of weapon ping-pong, but he was a little uncomfortable when he suddenly spoke.

After a while, Wu Yaoan got up, sat in the courtyard and drank tea as if he hadn't woken up, and interjected from time to time, "Your master said that your horse steps are not steady." ”

"You don't know martial arts." Zhao Luo, who was said a few words, was a little unconvinced, and saw that Wu Yaoan was usually smiling, so he was naturally not wary, so he retorted angrily.

"I don't, but I like it, I understand. You say it's late from time to time? Wu Yaoan got up with a look of shame and patted Wei Chi on the shoulder.

"It's rare to get up so early, I'll go and see what Dawu is doing."

"You'd better not get out of my sight." Wei Chi put the knife into the scabbard and glanced back at Zhao Luo, "You continue to practice." Then he lifted his heel and went up.
