Chapter 1121: Riot in the Night (Part II)

"Young master, let's go with you too-" Shi Changsong couldn't bear the loneliness on the side, so he naturally followed the answer.

"No, there's chaos in the town, and our identities can't be revealed, it's too dangerous to go out together!" Sun Yun solemnly replied, "It's good for me to go out alone, you stay here, and by the way, protect the two girls in the next room——"

"This ......" Shi Changsong hesitated a little, after all, something "big" had happened, and he didn't want to hide in a comfortable and stable inn like a turtle with a shrunken head.

"Okay, that's it-" At the critical moment, Ren Guang calmly looked at the situation and said, "Let's stay here, young master, it's good for you to go alone......"

"But ......," Shi Changsong said with some reluctance.

"It's an extraordinary time, it's better not to make too many moves...... Ren Guang turned his head and said, "Leave it to the young master, we are here, and only the young master can go out to feel at ease!"

"Well, okay......" There is no way, considering the overall situation, Shi Changsong still reluctantly agreed.

After finishing the instructions, Sun Yun left the room. However, the door of the inn was closed, and Sun Yun did not leave from the main entrance, but went straight to the roof, ready to rush to the scene from the eaves......

At this moment, Qi Xueyin and Du Juan in the other room were also woken up by the noise outside......

"What's the matter, something seems to be going on outside......" The cuckoo was woken up in the middle of the night, rubbed his eyes, looked at the looming fire outside the window, numb consciousness, and couldn't help but be secretly worried.

"There is a fire in the town, and the movement is not small, it seems that there is something terrible......" Qi Xueyin got dressed early, looked out the window with a calm face, and said, "Look at this momentum, it seems that someone did it deliberately, and it can't be ruled out that it is the guys from the 'Canghuan Sect' who are chasing us all the way......"

"Ah?......" Hearing the "Canghuan Sect" and remembering the thrilling encounter during the day, the cuckoo couldn't help but tremble all over, and asked tremblingly, "Should they ...... You already know we're hiding in this place......."

"I don't know......," Qi Xueyin looked at the direction of the fire and calmed down, "However, at least it is certain that the purpose of this fire is not aimed at us...... In a poor country like this, there is no place for money and wealth, and deliberate arson is nothing more than premeditated murder, if it is really those 'Canghuan Sect' guys who have found us, the arson location should be the inn where we live......"

Du Juan looked at Qi Xueyin's unwavering eyes, as if he had guessed something, and asked quietly: "Sister Qi, you are dressed now, should you be ......?"

"Hmm......" Qi Xueyin nodded and said without hesitation, "I'm going to go out and see what's going on outside-"

"But Sister Qi, it's so dangerous outside now, if you go out alone......" Of course, Du Juan couldn't let go of his heart, and said with a worried look, "Moreover, if Brother Yun knows, he won't be able to let go of his ......."

"I know......" Qi Xueyin closed her eyes slightly, as if she had tacitly settled on something in her heart, and said meaningfully, "But I still have to go, for everything that happened in Dadu five years ago, everything that my senior brother has not completed...... Also, the ...... with your young master" finally seemed to say something, but it suddenly came to an abrupt end.

"What?" Du Juan, who didn't know the truth, naturally didn't know the meaning of Qi Xueyin's words, and asked with a puzzled face.

"Forget it, sister, you still don't know anything...... Qi Xueyin said silently, and then said slowly, "Anyway, I'll go out to see the situation and come back in a moment...... Believe me, I'm going to be fine-" Finally, Qi Xueyin cast a firm gaze at the cuckoo.

Somehow, Du Juan seemed to see a trace of inexplicable touch in Qi Xueyin's eyes...... Finally, Cuckoo gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, and said calmly: "Okay, Sister Qi, you can go-" In the end, Cuckoo agreed to her.

"Thank you......" Qi Xueyin didn't know why, but unconsciously thanked Du Juan.

"However, it's very dangerous out there right now, so you have to be very careful—" Cuckoo reminded of the most important words.

"I know......" Qi Xueyin nodded, then also rolled over from the window and jumped onto the roof of the house......

Looking out from the rooftop, you can clearly see the location of the fire—the place of the incident is not far from the inn, and if it is a light work, you can get there by a few steps. It's just that that place is not like a warehouse where money is stored, but more like the homes of ordinary people.

However, there were two people on the eaves who saw this scene......

"Xueyin?" Sun Yun, who was the first to climb onto the roof, couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Qi Xueyin coming out of the room like himself.

Qi Xueyin didn't pay attention to Sun Yun head-on, and the expression on her face was more serious, no longer laughing and joking like usual - maybe it was tonight's conversation, the two of them were "estranged", and now the sudden fire, Qi Xueyin was not in the mood to joke.

"Why are you here?" Sun Yun was also worried about Qi Xueyin's safety, just as he was worried about Du Juan, so he simply asked.

"Why can't I ......" Qi Xueyin didn't look at Sun Yun directly, but replied coldly, "Is it your right to investigate what happened here?"

"I'm not talking about this-" Sun Yun's tone was a little serious, and Zhen Zhen said, "It's so dangerous outside now, it's unknown if there are any disciples of the 'Canghuan Sect', you come out alone now, in case you encounter an accident......"

"What if you encounter it, is it just me?" Qi Xueyin's tone was a little weird, and her expression was a little abnormal, and she responded coldly, "Aren't you also like me, running out alone......"

"It's different!" Suddenly, Sun Yun's tone was slightly heavy, and he said without "pity", "I investigated here to find out if this matter has anything to do with the 'Canghuan Sect' - my brother entrusted me with the heavy responsibility, and as the second son of the Chatai family, I must take this responsibility!"

"Is it......" Qi Xueyin paused, mentioning Chatai Dordun, there was a slight sadness in his eyes, but his tone was very heavy, as if he was complaining, "Yes, you are his younger brother, you have this responsibility...... I'm nothing, just like that, and follow you all the time...... Look for an opportunity to get revenge and ...... like a fool"

Only then did Sun Yun realize the weight of his brother in Qi Xueyin's mind - he and his brother had only known each other for two months, but Qi Xueyin and his brother had been together for several years...... But now, it is a bit ironic that he "reprimands" the other party in such a harsh tone......

"I'm sorry, Xueyin, it's me who is wrong...... Finally, Sun Yun realized the guilt and said slowly, "Okay, you go with me......"

The sudden change of attitude made Qi Xueyin's heart move faintly, and she couldn't say why, she had an indescribable and warm feeling in her heart......

The two of them performed light skills, crossed the eaves and roofs of the streets, and went straight to the location of the fire-

Qi Xueyin may have guessed correctly, the location of the arson is indeed a family. This family is located in the remote area of Linggu Town, which is not like the courtyard of the rich and noble families in the capital, but in terms of the scale of the area, it is different from ordinary people.

"It's on fire, hurry up and put out the fire-" "Help......" The fire was everywhere, and the cries for help of the local people sounded everywhere, and because it was very remote from the capital, and there were not too many imperial officers and soldiers stationed here, the raging fire was raging, except for the ordinary people who fled in all directions, there were almost no relevant government personnel to calm the disaster......

"What a big fire—" Sun Yun and Qi Xueyin hurried here at this time. But it was too late, the whole house was already surrounded by flames, and if there were people in the house before, it would have been burned to ashes long ago.

"In this house, should there be anyone ......" Qi Xueyin was also worried about the safety of this family, thinking that it was "murder" at the beginning, Qi Xueyin couldn't let go of it in her heart.

"Don't worry about it so much for now, it's important to put out the fire——" Sun Yun didn't hesitate at all, human life is at stake, and now we have to put out the fire here first.

"Leave it to me——" Qi Xueyin took the initiative to get serious unexpectedly, turned around and ran to the people around the fire, and shouted loudly, "Everyone listen to me, don't panic, everyone work together to put out the fire here first-"

Hearing Qi Xueyin's shout, seeing that a girl was fearless in the face of danger, and even wanted to put out the fire and save people desperately, the people in the town who were still panicked just now all cheered up for a while, and cast a firm gaze at Qi Xueyin.

"This girl is right, let's work together to put out the fire—" "That's right, the more panicked we are, the worse the situation will be......" "I know where the nearest water source is, everyone come with me-"

For a time, everyone present, regardless of the government and the people, was driven by Qi Xueyin's efforts to regain their strength and actively participate in the firefighting team.

Sun Yun looked at Qi Xueyin's kind and life-heavy nature under danger, and couldn't help but be secretly relieved......

After about an hour, the fire was finally brought under control, and with the joint efforts of Sun Yun, Qi Xueyin and local residents, the fire was finally extinguished without danger.

However, it seemed that it was too late for the lives of the people in the house, and when the fire receded, several officers and soldiers from the town went to search the ruins, but found only the unrecognizable corpses that had been scorched by the fire - the bones of four adults, the bones of two children, and the family all died in the fire......

Soon, the neighbors and neighbors resounded with miserable cries, and although the fire was extinguished, the lives of the people in the house could not be saved......

After knowing the truth, Sun Yun looked at the tragic scene in front of him, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood - since He Zibu died, every time he saw an innocent person dying, Sun Yun's heart would be painful, just like watching his relatives leave his side.

Especially now, as the second son of the Chatai family, he is burdened with the lives of the people of the entire country, seeing this situation, Sun Yun's heart is extremely painful.

"Family...... That's it......" Qi Xueyin, who is kind-natured, saw it in her eyes, and also showed frightened eyes, and there was a secret hidden wound hidden under her tears - she was more sad than Sun Yun, because she had seen her relatives die in front of her eyes......

"Who is ......" Sun Yun couldn't help but say to himself first, "Who is so cruel and set fire to kill the people here for no reason......

"It's a 'Mingfu Sect' person...... ......Suddenly, a young man who walked by Sun Yun's side heard it and responded tremblingly.

"What are you talking about?!——" Sun Yun's eyes were stunned when he heard "Mingfu Sect", and he turned his head and asked.

The young man seemed to be frightened by Sun Yun's eyes, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.

Qi Xueyin saw it, and said calmly in a gentle tone as much as possible: "You said that those guys from the 'Mingfu Sect' did it, don't be afraid, we are not bad people, you say it slowly......"

"Our Linggu Town was originally a remote and peaceful town...... The imperial court doesn't interfere much, and there is usually no disturbance......" The young man tried to calm down and said slowly, "But not long ago, a group of thugs who claimed to be the 'Ming Fu Sect' often attacked and harassed here...... Under the slogan of 'doing the right thing for heaven and eradicating Meng Yuan', they often cause a lot of restlessness in this area......"

"It's those hateful guys again......" Hearing "Mingfu Sect", remembering what these people did last time in Luozhuang, Sun Yun couldn't help but feel angry in his heart.

"Eradicating the 'Ming Fu Sect' in the ...... of Meng Yuan is indeed hateful, but their target should only be people or things in the imperial court...... Qi Xueyin calmly analyzed for a while, and couldn't help but wonder, "But didn't you just say that there is not much interference from the imperial court here? Then why, the 'Ming Fu Sect' is in this area...... Troublesome ?......"

"It's because this family is ......," the young man turned his head to look at the burned ruins and said slowly, "The owner of this family is named Cheng Yingquan, and he is a member of the imperial court...... I think the reason why the 'Ming Fu Sect' is here is probably to ...... Kill Master Cheng......" The more the young man spoke, the more frightened he became.

"I see, one family will cause trouble, and the whole town will suffer......" Qi Xueyin couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.

"But it's not quite right...... "After resentment for a long time, Sun Yun calmed down at this time, and seemed to have discovered the suspicion, and couldn't help but ask, "Seeing that the style of this house is very ordinary, and it is such a remote place from Dadu, and the officials are not important official positions, most of them are acting in the suburbs...... why should the people of the 'Ming Fu Sect' go to great lengths to kill such an ordinary court official?"

"That's right......" Qi Xueyin thought about it, and felt that what Sun Yun said was not unreasonable.

"This little man doesn't know......" The young man shook his head and said helplessly, "We are just ordinary people living in this city, and we don't know anything about officialdom......"

"Although there is not much interference from the imperial court here, there are also appointed county officials...... Qi Xueyin continued to ask, "If Lord Cheng passed away, who is under the jurisdiction of this town......?

"Lord Cheng is a local official, but he lives here, not the county government of our Linggu Town...... the young man continued, "There are not many people in the county government here, and when the fire broke out just now, there should have been an organization to come to put out the fire...... Look around, and you might find it......"

"Well, let's leave it at that......" Sun Yun replied in a low voice as he looked at the smoke behind the fire in front of him......
