Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 246 Burning Bankrupt
The corners of Ding Xiaolian's lips curled up with pride, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Shen Yuan deserves you to be burned to death in the fire, hum!"

Hongluan said: "Miss, I'll go and check the situation."

"What are you going to do?" Ding Xiaolian grabbed her and rolled her eyes, "Send Mrs. Zhou in the kitchen." Mrs. Zhou hasn't shown her face in the village yet, so no one will know her.

In the middle of the night, the Yingxue Residence was far away, and it was too abnormal for Hongluan to run over to watch the excitement, so it would be more appropriate to ask Mrs. Zhou, whom no one knew, to go.

Hongluan also understood, "I'll tell Mrs. Zhou to go."

Soon, Mrs. Zhou left Yingxue Residence through the corner door with a lantern.

Along the way, many villagers were awakened, and they all went to the big locust tree, only to see the fire rising to the sky in the north.

"Is Shen Yu'an's house on fire?" Someone asked suspiciously.

"It looks like it, but how could it burn so big? Don't you know how to save?"

"Who knows? With such a strong wind tonight, the fire should burn very quickly. I don't know if anyone has escaped."

"A woman, a cripple, and a six-year-old child are probably dead."

Just as they were discussing, Aunt Zhou and her man Shen Tailin rushed over with several sons carrying buckets.

Aunt Zhou shouted as she ran, "Are you still watching the excitement here? Hurry up and put out the fire, so you won't be afraid that the fire will spread to your house?" After speaking, she rushed to Shen Yu'an's house in a hurry.

After hearing Mrs. Zhou's words, some people became worried and hurried home to carry buckets.

Aunt Zhou and Uncle Shen took Shen Xingwang brothers to Shen Yuan's house and ran not far away when they saw a figure flashing in front of them.

"Yuan, Ah Xun? Ah Feng, are you all okay?" Mrs. Zhou shouted impatiently, and hurriedly ran over there.

When he took a closer look, it was Ji Xun. To be precise, Ji Xun was escorting a man, followed by Shen Yuan and Ji Feng.

"Don't worry, ma'am, we're fine." Shen Yu'an's little face was smoky from fighting the fire.

Aunt Zhou hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her and Ji Feng, her face full of distress: "Are you frightened? What's going on?" She also guessed a little bit in her heart, and her eyes fell on Shen Zuorong.

Shen Yu'an wiped away tears: "It's my uncle, who set fire to burn us to death. If it wasn't for Ah Xun's vigilance, I'm afraid we have already...
Shen Zuorong quickly defended: "I, I never thought of burning you to death, niece, don't talk nonsense." Uncle Shen was furious when he heard this, and stepped forward to kick Shen Zuorong a few times.

"Shen Zuorong? Are you still human? Did you set fire to murder in the middle of the night? Which letter?"

Aunt Zhou's sons also condemned Shen Zuorong, saying that Shen Zuorong was inferior to a beast, and wanted to kill his niece with such a cruel hand.

Shen Zuorong was also extremely desperate, he clearly just set fire and never thought of killing people, now the crime of killing people is a bit more serious.

Of course, the most irritating thing is that Ji Xun seems to have been prepared for a long time, and he was caught up by Ji Xun before he escaped far, and he was thrown to the ground.Ji Xun had been trained in the army, and he was tall and tall. Shen Zuorong tried his best but couldn't break free, so he was arrested by them.

"Niece, let your uncle go. Uncle knows he was wrong." Arson is a felony, and he was accused of attempting to kill someone. Shen Zuorong was terrified and kept begging for mercy. Come out with ten taels of silver to help you repair it, can you restore it to its original state? You can let me go." Said he slumped on the ground and refused to leave.

If this matter gets worse, he will definitely go to jail. Although he loves money, it's better to be private than to go to jail!
Hearing that not much of the house was burned down, Aunt Zhou, Uncle Shen and others breathed a sigh of relief, and the property was kept.Aunt Zhou patted her chest with lingering fear, "It's okay, it's okay, people are fine, and all their belongings have been kept, it's okay"

Okay? What a shame! She's bankrupt! ~ Hey! Shen Yuan pouted aggrievedly.

I always feel that this evil uncle was instructed by someone to do this. She deliberately set fire to her east wing, and all the fire oil was poured on the east corner, and the box where she put the bank notes happened to be in that corner.

She and Ji Xun were still playing and kissing under the covers at that time, when they heard the movement, they quickly got up and stood guard at the door.

I guessed in my heart that it was either Mrs. Wang or the two evil uncles. Shen Yuan knew their virtues. If they didn’t come today and set fire to it, they would come tomorrow. They might as well let him burn it, and they must put him in prison for a few days and teach him a lesson. them.

After making up their minds, the two of them guarded quietly, and when the fire came, they rushed out of the house. Ji Xun went to arrest Shen Zuorong, and she put out the fire. After she put out the fire, they found the money box in the corner. Turned into black charcoal, except for a few taels of silver and banknotes, everything turned into fly ash, and she stomped her feet in heartache!
"The house is alright? But why did you see such a big fire?" Shen Xingwang asked.

Shen Yuan: "Oh, when fighting the fire, it ignited more than a dozen haystacks piled up in the nearby rice field."

"It turned out that the haystack was ignited, no wonder the fire was soaring into the sky." Many villagers also came to fight the fire with buckets, and they were relieved after hearing this.

As for Mrs. Zhou, who was among the crowd fighting the fire, she returned to Yingxue Residence when she saw that she had almost finished inquiring about the news.

"How is it?" Ding Xiaolian was sitting in the yard waiting wrapped in a thick fur-collared cloak, and Mrs. Zhou stood up expectantly as soon as she came in.

"Miss, Shen Yu'an's house was not burned." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly stepped forward to report, "It was his uncle named Shen Zuorong who set the fire, and he was arrested by Ji Xun."

Ding Xiaolian sat down weakly, his face was extremely ugly.

This matter was done secretly without telling the subordinates, so it is not good to get angry in front of them and enter the house disappointed.

After sending out all the servants in the house, Shen Yuan sat on the bed with a gloomy face: "This Shen Zuorong is really useless!"

Hongluan desperately hooked her head, waiting to be beaten by the young lady.

Ding Xiaolian didn't do anything to her, and said dejectedly: "Let's go back to Lingzhou City, if Shen Zuorong can't bear to bring out the salesman, then it's over."

Hongluan said unwillingly: "But the salesman doesn't know that we ordered him."

"I'm afraid that the Night King will be suspicious." Ding Xiaolian spoke tremblingly, that was the Night King, he couldn't bear his death stare at her.

Thinking of this, Ding Xiaolian hurriedly stood up, "Pack up your things quickly, and return to Lingzhou City early tomorrow morning." Don't let Ye Wang have a chance to interrogate her, otherwise she will definitely not call herself if she is afraid.

"Yes, Miss." Hong Luan didn't dare to say any more, and hurried to pack her things.

But here, Shen Zuorong was dragged with his hands behind his back to the Sun Valley Ping. The village chief and patriarch were all alarmed, and soon the Sun Valley Field was full of people.

The whole family of Mrs. Wang got the news and rushed over. Seeing that Shen Zuorong was trapped on the ground, Shen Yunlai secretly wiped off his sweat. She secretly rejoiced that God was so kind to him and didn't let him draw the long lottery, otherwise the five flowers would be tied up. Here it is he.
