Lucky First Daughter: After crossing, she will fly the whole family with her mouth

Chapter 104 Regret (Part [-])
"What's the matter?"

Lu Chengting was sorting out the materials from the army, when he heard the guard pleading guilty, he asked a question expressionlessly after a while.

"Returning to Master, the Chen Ji silk and satin shop on Taiping Street caught fire in the middle of the night, and the shop was completely burned down." Anwei replied with his head down, regretful in his heart.

The master came back yesterday and told him to investigate the haunted silk shop.

Although he agreed at the time, he thought it was a trivial matter and didn't take it too seriously. He thought that it would not be too late to investigate tomorrow, so he turned around and went to other things.

Early this morning, he went to Taiping Street, only to find that the shop had been burned down in the middle of the night, so he had to come back to apologize.

When Lu Chengting heard that the silk shop was burned, he turned his head to look at the hidden guard, and asked coldly, "Have you found out the cause of the fire?"

Hearing the coldness in his words, the dark guard's heart tightened, "It should be that someone threw fire oil at night, and the perpetrators hadn't had time to investigate. Miss Xiao Er and Princess Minghua just went to the shop. "

"Find out whoever did it, and come back to receive the punishment."

"Yes, master." The dark guard disappeared in a flash. Although he was going to be punished this time, he was willing to do so without any dissatisfaction.The master was originally poisoned by the Xixia people, and the imperial doctor concluded that he only had half a year to live.

Now that Miss Xiao can help the master detoxify, which is equivalent to saving the master's life.With such a great kindness, the master must take care of her affairs, but because of his negligence, the shop Xiao Erniang just bought was burnt to the ground.

The dark guard decided to investigate carefully and find out the person behind the arson.

Lu Chengting put down the documents in his hand and raised his voice, "Come here, prepare your horse."

……

Xiao Jinyue stepped on the ruins of the silk shop, her eyes swept over the ruined walls inch by inch, her nose was full of burnt smell.

Suddenly a breeze blew by, besides the smell of burning wood and various kinds of cloth, Xiao Jinyue also vaguely smelled a smell of kerosene.

She fixed her eyes, and walked a few steps in the direction where the smell of kerosene came out, and found a few pieces of white broken porcelain scattered on the scorched black flagstone floor.

She picked up a piece casually, put it to her nose and sniffed it, her gaze turned cold.

"Who are you, this is not the place for you to stay, leave quickly."

Xiao Jinyue turned her head and looked over when she heard the sound, a man was walking towards her quickly with his eyebrows frowned.

From the official uniform on his body and the saber around his waist, it can be judged that he is the commander of Xicheng Bingmasi.

Xiao Jinyue stood up and saluted, "I have met Mr. Cao, I am the owner of this silk shop."

Unexpectedly, when Commander Cao heard this, he sneered and said, "Where is this little girl talking nonsense here? You are looking at me. I don't know that the owner of this shop is named Chen?"

He is the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horse Division, and he patrols the streets every day. He doesn't know all the owners of every shop on this street, but he still knows most of them.

Why didn't he know when Chen Dong's family became a woman?

"It's true that the owner of this shop was originally surnamed Chen, but now the shop belongs to me. Just yesterday, the owner Chen's family sold the shop to me."

"Is there a contract?"

"Yes, but the deed is now in the hands of Prince Nan'an. To be precise, this shop is now jointly owned by Princess Minghua and me."

Xiao Jinyue didn't want to go into such detail at first, but seeing Commander Cao kept asking, she just said it all.

Instead of making him suspicious, it's better to tell her frankly, which is just beneficial to her next words.

"Master Cao came just in time, I just happened to find you on something."

"What's the matter?" Seeing her serious expression, Commander Cao didn't seem to be joking, and he believed that no one would dare to use the banner of the Nan'an Palace to make a fuss, so he couldn't help but believe her words.

Xiao Jinyue handed him the pieces of porcelain wrapped in a handkerchief, "I suspect that the shop was deliberately set on fire, this is evidence."

As soon as Commander Cao took the tile and smelled it, a strong smell of kerosene rushed straight to his nose.

There's nothing else I don't understand.

I don't know what kind of person this girl has provoked. This shop was bought yesterday, and it was set on fire in the middle of the night. It's really unlucky.

"I heard that Mr. Cao brought people to put out the fire last night. I wonder if there is anything unusual?"

When Commander Cao heard that the owner behind this shop was Nan'an Palace, his attitude became more cautious, and he carefully recalled the situation last night.

It's a pity that he received the news last night that a shop on Taiping Street was on fire, and when he arrived with people, there were already many shopkeepers and shopkeepers from nearby shops helping to put out the fire.

The scene was chaotic at that time. He was worried that the fire would spread and affect the shops on the whole street, so he just directed the staff to put out the fire and didn't notice other abnormalities.

Seeing that Commander Cao couldn't ask anything here, Xiao Jinyue could only continue to search, trying to see if there were any other clues.

After walking a short distance, I just turned around a broken wall that was more than one person tall, and when I crossed the cracked wall, I accidentally saw a man and a woman standing three or four feet away in front of me.

Snapped!
Before she could see clearly, the girl suddenly swung her hand and slapped the man.

Immediately afterwards, he roared at the man in a low voice, "How do you do things? It's fine if I fail to do what I entrusted to you. But look, now that the clothing store has been burned to the ground, how do you want me to explain to my family? ?”

The man lowered his head and was silently accused and scolded by the girl, and accompanied him in a low voice.

The man's voice was too low, and Xiao Jinyue couldn't hear what he said, but she had already recognized the identities of the two.

Xiao Jinyue was quietly listening to the girl scolding the man, when there was a sudden noise from the other side.

The girl in the goose-yellow dress frowned and looked around. Seeing that no one had noticed, she cursed at the man a few more times, then turned and walked towards the noisy place over there. The man bowed his head and followed silently. past.

When Xiao Jinyue saw the flash of resentment towards that girl in his eyes, she couldn't help smiling playfully.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Xiao Jinyue also walked around the broken wall on the other side.

Commander Cao has been following Xiao Jinyue not far or near, and he naturally heard the conversation between the man and the woman.

Seeing that Xiao Jinyue didn't show up to go out, he thought about it, and followed her.

Xiao Jinyue walked around a broken wall and saw several people surrounded there.

The shopkeeper of the grocery store next door was angrily pointing at a man dressed as a clerk and said, "Boss Chen, what are you doing to comfort this clerk? Last night when the water was running, I heard the noise and rushed over, calling for everyone to help put out the fire.

But these guys not only didn't help, they also stood by with their arms sleeved and gloated, saying that it was a good time for the silk shop to burn down, so as not to be haunted by ghosts and hinder their shop's business.

The shopkeepers and buddies of their clothing store all ran out to watch the fun, and who knew that the backyard of their own shop suddenly caught fire.

When they found out and tried to put out the fire, it was already too late, and their shop was completely burned down.

Now that the shop is gone and the job is lost, it is too late to regret.

If you helped put out the fire last night, or stayed in your own shop and didn't come out, instead of just sitting on the sidelines and gloating, it would not be the result now. "
