In mid-April, Haixiya finally ended his trip and returned to Chang'an City.

He has been away from home for a long time, and his family is very worried.

Ma felt sorry for him, black, thin and haggard, and he was busy cooking good food, good soup and water for a few days, and he didn't even go out, so he stayed at home with him.

Although Hai Chang'an and Haijiao still have to go to school every day, they will rush home as soon as the daily classes are over, and they can't even take care of the weekday gatherings with friends.

Begonia honored her grandfather with a set of newly made spring shirts. Xiao Shi memorized a whole "Three Character Classic" in front of his grandfather, and his speech was clear and fluent, which won a lot of praise from his grandparents, and even his mother Hu was praised by his mother-in-law.

The Hai family is in harmony.

Xie Wenzai, Cao Gengyun, and Lu Bainian, who lived in the Hai family, were also very happy. They quickly set a date for moving, and prepared to call two good tables of noodles from the best restaurant in the city to come to their new home on the same day, and entertain the Hai family for one day, and the rest of their relatives, friends, and neighbors will invite them the next day.

Although Haixiya felt reluctant, his cousin and friends were no longer exiled prisoners, they also had their own lives and contacts in Chang'an City, and it was also appropriate to move out and set up their own doors, and the two families were adjacent to each other, and it was very convenient to come and go. He personally prepared a housewarming gift for his cousins and friends, and took the money out, instructing his wife Ma to buy a few people for Xie Wenzai and them, and not let them move out, and continue to accommodate the Hai family to call servants, and act uncomfortably.

Although Ma felt that the family was also enough, her husband specially instructed him, so he acted according to the order, and asked Aunt Ma to call a reputable person in the city to come and ask her to help find someone.

There were things at home one after another, and I couldn't take care of the news outside for a while. When Haijiao met Zhou Yijun who was going home for a break again, he knew that Tu Rong had finished his investigation in Liangzhou City and was on his way back to Chang'an. And several stewards and family members who were sent by the Zhou family to other properties to pick up the three rooms of the Zhou family are now in the city.

They did not go back to the third room, but were sent to the Dusi Yamen by the Zhenguo Gong, and a few clean cells were specially set aside to be closed, whether it was a guard or a person who delivered food and water, they were all innocent and trustworthy people, so that no one would take advantage of the loophole and poison these people.

Zhou Yijun only knows so much news. Haijiao didn't want to ask too much, and when he returned home, he privately told his grandmother Ma and his sister Begonia about it.

Ma also heard some news a few days ago, but her husband had just come home, and she was busy with something to do, so she didn't care about it for a while. She was thinking about her eldest sister in her heart, but the third room of the Zhou family did not accept outsiders now, and even relatives and friends came to the door, but they were politely persuaded to leave, she had no way to ask the eldest sister carefully, so she had to be secretly anxious in her heart.

It was Hai Xiya who noticed the uneasiness in his wife's heart, and after asking what was going on, he agreed to help inquire in the yamen.

Ma was happy in his heart, but he was afraid that his husband would get into trouble, so he persuaded him not to get involved. Anyway, no matter what happens in the third room of the Zhou family, the cousin Xie Wenzai will always find a way to find out from the Zhenguo Mansion, at most a little later. As long as the eldest sister's family will not be burdened by Mrs. Ma, she doesn't care about the rest. With such a big event, it is already a blessing that everyone in the third room of the Zhou family can get out.

Haixi Ya agreed to his wife, but when he turned around, he still privately asked his cousin Xie Wenzai.

Naturally, Xie Wenzai would not refuse his cousin's request. He was also concerned about the case of the Zhou family's third room, and he also wanted to inquire. Even if his cousin and sister-in-law don't open their mouths, and their cousins and nephews come to ask, he will tell everyone the news he can tell. Haijiao cares about the affairs of the old lady of the Zhou family's third room, isn't it to inquire about her grandmother? He is deeply favored by his cousin's family, and he still has to rely on his cousin to support him, he is old and frail, and he can't do much in other things, if there is something that can help, he naturally has no reason to refuse.

Xie Wenzai originally served as a military adviser to Zhenguo Gong, and he was deeply trusted by Zhenguo Gong. He wanted to find out, and without much effort, he found out some inside information, and came back to inform the ancestors of Haixi Cliff and Haijiao.

That night, Begonia learned a secret message from her brother's reef.

The son of the mother-in-law next to Mrs. Nama was once ordered to go to Liangzhou to find Mrs. Wang's little steward, and before he was demoted to foreign industries, he had been doing things for Mrs. Ma, and ran between the capital and Chang'an all the year round. After the son of Mrs. Xiangrui's sister died at the hands of the bandits, he took over the other party's messenger and worked for almost seven or eight years before he was demoted for making a mistake. Although he didn't know what the predecessor had done for the master's family in the years before and after the fire in the Wang family in Liangzhou, he had seen the account book left by the other party with his own eyes, and he also left a copy.

Soon after he took over the mission, his mother burned it down with her own hands on the orders of Mrs. Ma. But because of his predecessor's good work in office, he had a lot of contacts in the capital and Chang'an, as well as in various towns along the way, and he made a lot of private money, so he was envious, so he quietly copied a copy of the account book, and prepared to do some small business privately and secretly accumulate his wealth. Mrs. Ma and his mother didn't know the existence of this manuscript, and after he lost his errand, he had been planning to turn over and return, and when the time came, he could continue to rely on those connections in the account book to earn private money, so the manuscript was kept intact, and now the things have fallen into the hands of Zhenguo Gong.

Xie Wenzai looked through the manuscript and was deeply impressed by several of the records.

About the year of the Wang family fire, for five or six consecutive years, Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi both ordered their subordinates to secretly buy fire oil from their own channels and send it to the capital. The amount purchased each year is not large, but the amount of several years added up is quite substantial. In the autumn of the nineteenth year of Deguang, shortly after the son of the sister-in-law of Xiangrui finished transporting the last batch of hot oil into Beijing, he was killed by bandits on the way back to Chang'an. After that, Mrs. Ma and Zhou Shuyi never bought this kind of material from the old soldier's oil workshop in Datong.

The autumn of the 19th year of Deguang......

Haitang suddenly remembered something, and suddenly felt a cold sweat on his back: "Kunning Palace is on fire...... It seems to have happened in the spring of the twentieth year of Deguang, right? ”

Haijiao's expression was also very serious: "On the same day, a fire broke out in Duke Wu Wen'an's mansion, and the fire spread rapidly, and there was no way to save it, and no one was going to save it......"

Whether it is the Kunning Palace or the Wu family's Guozhang Mansion, it is a large building complex covering a wide area, and on a spring night, even if the weather is dry, it is impossible to fall into a sea of fire in a short period of time. But if there is fire oil to fuel it, then it can be explained.

In these two fires, the Sun family is the absolute suspect. The world has their own speculations about how they did these two cruel cases, but they never expected that there would be the Zhou family involved here.

No wonder Tu Rong attaches so much importance to this case, and Zhen Guogong acts so cautiously.

In the past, the emperor may have turned a blind eye to the death of his wife and son-in-law because of his preference for Sun Guifei. But now his love brain seems to have sobered up a lot, and he is looking at the Sun family's displeasure, and it is impossible to gently let go of the good things done by the Sun family.

The Sun family can set fire to Kunning Palace, but who knows when they won't set the same fire in the Eight Emperors' Palace?

Or is it even more excessive, set a fire in the Qianqing Palace?

Tu Rong didn't dare to ignore it, and Zhen Guogong also had to find out the whole thing.

Anyone who knows that there is a poisonous snake hidden in their family will not be able to settle down.

Hai Jiao couldn't understand: "Why did Mrs. Ma do this?" Does she have a grudge against the Wu family?! ”

Haitang thought of Mrs. Ma's true identity, frowned, and said, "Could it be that the Sun family knew some of her secrets and threatened her to do this?" ”

Is it her clan identity? Or is it the secret of her fornication with foreign enemies?
