189 The Flame Rekindles (2)
In the thick night, Chu Tao looked up at the starry sky. In the east, there is a comet crossing the sky, dragging a charming tail of light, which is fleeting. This does not bode well.
"If it......" Qin Shi didn't say any more, any speculation seemed ominous. And Chu Tao, even if there is someone who makes him worry, he can only be silent at the moment.
Fortunately, the Qi family's manor arrived soon. The courtyard door was closed, and the air was filled with the strong smell of coke. The light of the fire has long since faded. The gate of the manor is not much different from the past, except that there are more martial artists on Sen Senran's patrol. Qi Heng, who led the team, saw Chu Tao at a glance, and rushed forward and said, "What are you kid doing?"
Qin Shi took a step forward and said, "Don't make trouble, the friend I brought! Qi Dashao won't even give me face?"
Qi Heng gritted his teeth and swallowed the curse words, and grinned: "You guys came so fast! However, the fire has also been extinguished, and there is nothing to make up." Qin Dashao, don't worry, your bride is very good!"
"Where is the fire? It doesn't seem like an accident to see the fire. ”
"There's nothing to see!" Qi Heng seemed to be in a particularly bad mood.
Qin Shizheng was embarrassed and didn't know how to advance or retreat, but the courtyard door opened by itself, and a polite but unquestionable voice said in the door: "Is it Qin Dashao and Chu Zhangmen? At the same time, Cheng Yunhe's burly figure stood solemnly in front of people.
Qi Heng hesitated for a moment as if choking, glared at Chu Tao dryly, and walked away without saying a word.
Chu Tao said respectfully: "Cheng Daxia, it's been more than half a year. ”
Cheng Yunhe frowned slightly and said worriedly: "If it weren't for the tricky matter, the young lady wouldn't bother the head of Chu with a pigeon letter." I hope that the head of Chu should not hold grudges......"
"Is it her pigeon letter?" Chu Tao wondered, "When did my pigeon listen to her?"
Cheng Yunhe smiled lightly: "It's Shen Daxia who said that there is a way to contact the head of Chu." ”
Chu Tao let out an "oh" and followed Cheng Yunhe to the courtyard. Qin Shi finally had a chance to speak, and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"
Cheng Yunhe sighed: "The one who caught fire was Miss Zijun's boudoir. Caijuan, the maid who was in charge of taking care of Miss Zijun, was pierced through her throat with a sharp weapon and died on the spot. The young lady was frightened, but fortunately it was fine. Yunhe was not well prepared, and asked Qin Dashao for his guilt. ”
Qin Shi waved his hand slightly, signaling him to hurry up and lead the way, and the other side also sped up his pace. The further you go to the backyard, the more dignified the smell of tung oil in the air. The sobbing of the woman could be faintly heard, and it was very desolate in the dark night.
The backyard was charred and black, drenched in water and ash. Qi Zijun's residence had been reduced to ruins. Shen Yanfei beckoned his subordinates to clean up the remnants around him, after all, tomorrow is the big day for the young lady to leave the pavilion, and there must be no slackness. Qi Tianqiao and the others were also busy.
I saw a dignified beauty sitting in the pavilion with her face hidden, outside the ice-blue Luo skirt, covered with a pure white snow coat, and the mourning was irrepressible. Leng Fengyi, who was in the green Luo skirt, sat beside her, smiled and said with relief: "It's okay, what should I do if I leave the pavilion tomorrow and cry and my eyes are swollen?" The old lady also sat side by side with her daughter, patting her shoulder and coaxing.
Qin Shi didn't care about many courtesies, and went straight forward and said, "Zijun, have you been hurt?"
"Look, Qin Da Shao has come to see you! are you still crying?" the old lady said strangely.
Tears suddenly fell from the sorrowful eyes, and the slender and complaining voice said: "Caijuan has been with me for more than ten years, and I have nothing to talk about since I was a child. But how do you know that suddenly yin and yang are forever separated?" said and became more and more sad.
