The Lelin Hou Mansion is on fire
The next day, Zhao Sichen locked himself in the room, not knowing what was being poured upside down, and he couldn't even take care of eating.
After Zhao Zhufei took Guo Anyang and Zhao Yufeng home from the school in the afternoon, he entered the room and slept until dinner before getting up.
Guo Anyang and Yun Bi both knew that something was wrong, but they had long been used to it, and they didn't bother to ask, just silently cooperating with Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei.
When he was approaching, Zhao Sichen's light figure came to the small gatehouse of Zhao's house, raised his hand and bent his fingers, and knocked lightly three times.
Knock knock.
The door opened silently.
Zhao Zhufei stood inside the small door of the gatehouse, his breathing so light that he could barely hear it.
All you can hear is the chirping of insects in the dark night, and the wind blowing the treetops.
Outside the door, inside the door, both men were wearing black night clothes.
It seems to blend in with the thick night, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see the figures of the two people clearly.
Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei put the cover on their faces, revealing only their eyes.
Although the gatehouse was next to the gate of Zhao's house, the two of them did not open the door, but quickly jumped over the wall, bent down and ran quickly along the wall.
The night was deep, and they were covered by their fast-running figures, like two black cats that were easy to move but silent, and quickly bypassed a street.
Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away from Zhao's house, Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei had no scruples, straightened up, and began to run wildly.
The two of them were so easy and perfect that they swept through like the wind.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them arrived at the Lelin Houfu Mansion.
When he was wandering around Daqing City before, Zhao Sichen walked around the Lelin Houfu more than once.
At this time, she was familiar with the way, and took Zhao Zhufei into the side courtyard secretly.
The slaves in the side courtyard live together, the kitchen and firewood room are here, and all kinds of sundries are placed in many places.
There are fewer guards in the side courtyard, and there are many places that can be hidden, which is the weakest place for the guards of the Lelin Houfu.
After entering the Lelin Houfu from the back door of the side courtyard, Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei dodged all the way and approached the main house.
The closer you get to the main house, the more guards will patrol.
However, Lelin Houfu is only a relative of the Emperor of Wei, although he is rich and noble, he did not start by relying on military merits, poetry and books, and he did not pay much attention to the guards in the mansion.
Therefore, although there are many guards on patrol, they are perfunctory, and there are no masters stationed there.
Zhao Sichen thought with a little contempt in his heart, this kind of guarding force, guarding against thieves, is just that-
With the strength of her and Zhao Zhufei, let alone sneaking into the Lelin Houfu, even if they break through, they will not necessarily lose.
Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei did not delay for a moment, and successfully touched the edge of the main house.
Zhao Zhufei took out a wine jug from his arms, bent his waist, and walked around the main house.
The flask in your hand is tilted, and you scatter it as you go.
With Zhao Zhufei's movements, there was a faint pungent smell in the wind.
Zhao Zhufei's wine jug was actually kerosene!
Zhao Zhufei moved extremely fast, and quickly poured kerosene around the main house.
When Zhao Zhufei returned to Zhao Sichen's side, the two of them still didn't say a word, and they didn't even say the word "go", they had already run to the nearest outer wall together with a tacit understanding and climbed over the wall.
The two men stood at the top of the wall and looked back.
Zhao Zhufei flipped his hand, and he didn't know where to turn out a small bow and arrow.
Zhao Sichen took out the fire fold and lit the burlap soaked with kerosene on the arrowhead.
Zhao Zhufei made a slight effort in his hand, pulled the bow, shot the arrow, and did it in one go.
A ball of fiery bows and arrows shot at the kerosene at the base of the wall of the main house.
The flames burst into flames.
Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei didn't look back, the two of them ran all the way away, running two streets away, and then looked back again.
Seeing the Lelin Houfu in the distance, black smoke first rose into the air, and then the fire gradually rose.
Gradually, there was a slight commotion, presumably someone had already discovered the fire.
Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei looked at each other and smiled, and continued to run home.
Back at Zhao's house, when Zhao Sichen turned over the wall, the corner of his eye swept around.
The two young men who were squatting at the door of Zhao's house, disguised as beggars, were squatting at the base of the wall boringly, drinking small wine and eating side dishes, without noticing that Zhao Sichen and Zhao Zhufei had gone out and returned.
Zhao Sichen sighed secretly in his heart: It's really unprofessional, pretending to be a beggar, and eating with a mouth full of oil.
This kind of person can't be used!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The next day.
Wei Qianlang, who had disappeared for nearly a month, came back.
Wei Qianlang is dusty. The face is haggard.
The young man had a stern face.
When Wei Qianlang stepped into the Zhao family, the Zhao family was eating breakfast, still arguing and quarrelling, so it was not lively.
Wei Qianlang had a fire in his heart, bypassed the shadow wall, stood at the entrance of the courtyard of the Zhao family, and looked coldly at the people eating in the hall.
Qingzhu, the little guy who opened the door, followed behind Wei Qianlang timidly, and he didn't dare to say a word.
After a while, Qingzhu felt that stalemate was not the way to go, so he sneaked to Zhao Sichen's side and pulled Zhao Sichen's sleeve.
As soon as Zhao Sichen looked up, he saw Wei Qianlang standing at the door with a serious face and glaring at her.
She smiled and beckoned disappreciatively: "The third prince is here?" Let's have breakfast together! β
Wei Qianlang snorted coldly, and his body did not move.
Zhao Yufeng had already jumped down from the high stool and gave Wei Qianlang a decent look: "Brother Qianlang, Yufeng is polite." β
Wei Qianlang opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't speak.
He took a deep breath and whispered to Zhao Sichen, "You come out, I have something to tell you." β
With that, Wei Qianlang turned around and put his hands behind his back.
Zhao Sichen smiled and touched the soft black hair on the top of Zhao Yufeng's head: "Yufeng, continue to eat." β
Zhao Yufeng looked at Wei Qianlang's stiff face, and was a little worried: "Sister, is the third prince angry?" β
The smile on Zhao Sichen's face remained unchanged: "I don't know him, I'm not a worm in his stomach, besides, even if he gets angry, we're not afraid of him." β
Wei Qianlang heard Zhao Sichen speak loudly at the door, and he didn't lower his voice, avoiding him, Tie Qing's face became a little heavier.
Zhao Sichen walked a few steps forward, stood under the osmanthus tree in the middle of the courtyard, and asked, "What do you want to tell me?" β
After waiting for a few breaths, Wei Qianlang still only gave her a back.
Zhao Sichen couldn't help but ask, "Is something wrong?" β
Wei Qianlang turned around suddenly: "I should have asked you this, right?!" β
"Huh?" Zhao Sichen looked ignorant and didn't know why.
Wei Qianlang was so angry that he almost pouted, he took a few deep breaths, suppressed the annoyance in his heart, lowered his voice, and asked, "Where did you go last night?" β
Zhao Sichen opened two big innocent eyes, and his black and white eyes looked at Wei Qianlang: "I haven't been there, I've been staying at home." β
Wei Qianlang stared coldly at Zhao Sichen's face.
Zhao Sichen looked back at Wei Qianlang, his round apricot eyes revealing innocence and ignorance.
Wei Qianlang snorted: "The Lelin Houfu caught fire last night!" β
"So careless?" Zhao Sichen exclaimed.
"Someone set the fire!" Wei Qianlang is not angry!
"Not really, right? Is it that there is a lot of oil in the kitchen, and people are cooking and cooking, and accidentally sparks splash out? β
Wei Qianlang sneered: "The fire started from the main house, far away from the kitchen." β
Zhao Sichen shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
Wei Qianlang said: "Fortunately, the Lelin Houfu is heavily guarded, and the guards patrol all night, and the fire broke out in the main house again, so the fire did not spread......
"Oh, that's it......"
Ah, no, why is there a little regret in this tone?
Wei Qianlang looked at Zhao Sichen as if he didn't eat oil and salt, and his chest rose and fell with anger.
He scolded in a low voice: "Do you know who is behind the Lelin Houfu? It's a concubine! Concubine Li has been favored exclusively for more than ten years, and Lelin Houfu is powerful in Daqing City! How dare you! β
Wei Qianlang paused angrily and took a few breaths.
Zhao Sichen looked incomprehensible, and asked, "What dare you?" β
Wei Qianlang's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water, and there was a hint of scarlet at the corners of his eyes.
Zhao Sichen looked at Wei Qianlang
He sighed helplessly.
What is he doing so angry?
You can't force her to admit it and seek justice for the Lelin Hou Mansion.
She has an empty purse now, but she has no money to pay to the Lelin Hou Mansion.
In the face of Wei Qianlang's angerββ
Zhao Sichen sighed.
Forget it, what do you have to do with a secondary two teenager?
She, Zhao Sichen, is a master who can stretch and bend.
Zhao Sichen stretched out two fingers and pulled Wei Qianlang's sleeve.
Wei Qianlang was stunned, and the anger on his face dissipated a little.
Zhao Sichen raised his innocent face, the corners of his mouth pulled to the sides, and showed a well-behaved smile: "Okay, don't be angry, I know it's wrong?" β
Wei Qianlang's face became extremely strange, as if a balloon had been punctured with a hole, trying to hold up the momentum, but he couldn't stop the anger from disappearing.
Zhao Sichen saw Wei Qianlang's strange expression, and laughed out loud.
She smiled like this, and the anger in Wei Qianlang's heart suddenly dissipated.
He sighed helplessly, curled a finger, and poked Zhao Sichen's forehead heavily, "You~~~!! β
The tone was full of helplessness.
What did he do with her, knowing that she was bold and fearless.
can only help her cover up and make up for it as much as possible.
Zhao Sichen tilted his head, trying his best to look cute and harmless, and asked, "Lelinhou's mansion is on fire, how about Lelinhou and Mrs. Lelinhou?" β
Wei Qianlang said: "There were no casualties - yesterday, Mrs. Le Linhou went into the palace to accompany her daughter Li Guifei, and Le Linhou rested in the study of the outer courtyard, and there was no one in the main house. β
Zhao Sichen's dark eyes rolled, and he didn't say anything.
Wei Qianlang continued: "However, the fire spread to the boudoir of the county lord of Lexian behind the main house, and most of the objects in the house were burned, I heard that the county lord of Yule was extremely angry at home, and whipped the guards with a whip, and called Jing Zhaoyin to ......"
"County Lord?"
Wei Qianlang glanced at Zhao Sichen and patiently explained: "The name is Le Yuzhi, the granddaughter of Le Lin Hou, the daughter of the prince of Le Lin Hou, and the cousin of the eldest princess. β
"Oh, the niece of Concubine Li Bingxia." Zhao Sichen's mind turned this time, and she asked curiously, "Jing Zhaoyin was summoned by her and passed?" β
Jing Zhaoyin, Li Yuanbu, is a third-grade official in the capital.
"What's the solution? Concubine Li is in full bloom in the palace, although Le Yuzhi is only a county lord, she is the niece of Concubine Li and the playmate of the eldest princess since childhood. She is not like an ordinary county lord. β
"Oh, I see." It is normal for people to step on high and low.
Zhao Sichen's gossip heart was burning, and he asked, "Then what?" β
Jingzhao Yin Li Yuanbu was an old slippery head, and after he went, he personally picked up his official robe to investigate the scene, collected evidence, and worked for most of the night.
But nothing was found. Le Yuzhi lost his temper with Jing Zhaoyin and limited him to find the arson fugitive within three days. β
Zhao Sichen nodded solemnly: "Arson is a big crime, it must be investigated, investigated well." β
Wei Qianlang glared at Zhao Sichen helplessly.
He went from being angry at the beginning to being helpless now.
knew that Zhao Sichen did it, but he just couldn't get the slightest bit of information from her.
Zhao Sichen greeted Wei Qianlang with a smile: "Although I know that you are worried about Lelin Houfu, you can't delay eating, let's have breakfast together." β
Wei Qianlang was so angry that he was angry again.
Is he worried about Lelin Houfu?
Is he?!
Seeing Zhao Sichen turn around and leave, Wei Qianlang could only follow angrily and walked into the Zhao Mansion.
Yun Bi had already put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and asked Wei Qianlang to sit down beside Zhao Sichen.
Guo Anyang on the side gossiped: "Something interesting happened." β
Zhao Sichen preemptively said: "The Lelin Hou Mansion caught fire last night, but fortunately no one was injured - Mrs. Lelin Hou entered the palace yesterday and did not return, and Lelin Hou rested in the outer courtyard." β
Guo Anyang snorted coldly: "It is estimated that the master is not at home, so the Lelin Houfu Mansion was not strictly guarded last night." Otherwise, those thieves who set the fire would never have touched the backyard and no one knew about it. β
Zhao Sichen was furiousββ
Wei Qianlang said coldly: "Mr. Guo, what you said is still reasonable. β
Zhao Sichen glared at Wei Qianlang angrily: Who is this looking down on?!
Zhao Zhufei knocked on the table: "Eat!" Rice! β
