Chapter 71 Arson
With her consent, the little duke loosened her feet, and she quickly hid her feet in her skirt. Seeing the little duke leave quickly, Fang Xun breathed a sigh of relief.

Yingcui came quickly, Fang Xun put on new shoes, but the young master did not come with her, Yingcui waited on Fang Xun to put on the shoes.Smiling, she looked up at Fang Xun and said, "Miss, what did the young master just tell you?"

"..." Fang Xun said nothing, put on his shoes calmly and said, "Okay, let's go."

When Fang Xun arrived at Fang Qing's residence, he found that the young master and Fang Qingju were not here. After asking Ling Yun, he found out that the young master had left early, and Fang Qing had just left for something.

It was already noon, and it was time for lunch. Fang Xun thought that Fang Qing must have gone to eat in the main house, and then went to the main house, only to find that there was no one here at all, only a large table of dishes , Fang Wenzheng, Fang Qing, Fang Meiran, Aunt Xue and others did not come here.

strangeness!Fang Xun sat and waited for a while, but the few people hadn't arrived yet, so she couldn't help being anxious. If you don't come to eat, you will usually be notified, and it's not as unresponsive as it is now.He sent someone to remind him, and learned that Fang Wenzheng was not in the study, but went to Aunt Xue's residence.

"Miss, Aunt Xue is gone." Yingyue pushed open the door, ran in panting, and shouted anxiously.

"What? Aunt Xue is gone, is she dead?" Fang Xun was shocked.Aunt Xue was still there just now, that is, the two of them had a quarrel in the morning, why is she not here now?
"It's absolutely true, Aunt Xue's house is flooded, and the fire is too hot now, no one can enter inside, and no one can go in to save people. Aunt Xue didn't run out. Both the master and the young master are there." In the cold winter, Ying Sweat broke out on the head of the moon.

"Let's go to Aunt Xue's residence." Fang Xun was startled, and quickly stood up. Yingcui immediately picked up the duck feather cloak beside Fang Xun and quickly covered Fang Xun. At this time, Fang Xun had already arrived outside the door. .

The cold wind was blowing, and Fang Xun couldn't help sneezing outside. She couldn't help but wonder, how could Aunt Xue's house catch fire in this cold winter?

Hurrying all the way, when I arrived at Aunt Xue's house far away, I saw the flames soaring into the sky. The maids and maids were busy pouring water to put out the fire.

Fang Wenzheng stood still with a serious face, and Fang Qing was directing people to rescue: "Do you people only know how to eat? Now this fire can't be saved, so hurry up and sprinkle water, don't be lazy, if you are caught I found that someone was lazy, so I drove them out." His voice was muffled and hurried, Fang Xun walked to his side, and carefully looked at Aunt Xue's house, which was burnt to ashes, leaving only a shell It was crumbling in the flames, and judging from this trend, the people inside were long gone.

"Can you find out whether it's man-made or something else?" The fire light reflected on Fang Xun's face, scorching hot, dispelling the surrounding cold.

"No." Fang Qing said succinctly, his face was cold, and his eyes shot out with anger.The last time he found out that Fang Wenqiang was haunting Aunt Xue's house, he surrounded Aunt Xue's house, and then brought the guards over to collect evidence, but he didn't expect to be empty in Aunt Xue's house, Fang Wenqiang was not there In Aunt Xue's house.

Fang Qing believed that his spy was right, but there was no one in Aunt Xue's house, which made him very puzzled, and now Aunt Xue's house was on fire!All of this is weird and puzzling.

The fire lasted for a while, until the house was burned down, and then it was extinguished under the help of everyone.There were not many wreckage left, and Fang Qing found a burnt human body at the scene of the fire.That's Aunt Xue!
Fang Wenzheng looked at the wreck with a painful expression, and staggered away from the scene. He couldn't imagine that Aunt Xue died like this. He was not happy. He thought he would be happy to see Aunt Xue in pain, but he didn't.

He was not happy, but a little uncomfortable. He used to love Aunt Xue very much. When he suddenly saw her getting close to Fang Wenqiang, he felt betrayed and humiliated. At that time, he hated her to the core.He originally thought that he would always hate her. It was exactly what he hoped that Aunt Xue would not live well. Now that Aunt Xue died in the fire, he didn't feel it!
Fang Wenzheng arrived at the main house in a daze, this time Aunt Xue was burned to death, he had no pain, no joy, just indifferent, let him understand that he had no love for Aunt Xue long ago,

At this time, he thought of his wife, Mrs. Lin in Yun'an. He didn't know how Mrs. Lin was doing now. During this period of time, he was able to get out of the pain caused by Aunt Xue, Mrs. Lin contributed a lot.

And he also untied the knot in his heart, he didn't hate or love Aunt Xue as much as he thought.After more than ten years of being swayed by partial thoughts, now he finally understands that it is just his self-righteousness.

Fang Qing cleaned up the scene and found unburned oil stains behind the house. It is certain that this is a man-made arson.

After searching for a day, it was finally found that one of the rough servants in the yard was missing, and there was no information about the others.It was not found out whether the corpse belonged to Aunt Xue.But this matter stopped just like that, Fang Wenzheng didn't want the matter to become a big deal, so he buried the remains hastily, not in the Fang family's ancestral grave, but just found a random place in the wild.

Yulu and Qingzhu were kneeling in the hall, Fang Qing looked at them sternly, Yulu kept pinching the corners of her clothes with nervous hands, Aunt Xue was dead, she must be guilty of being Aunt Xue's personal maid.There must be a crime of dereliction of duty, but I don't know if she will be punished for other crimes.

"Yulu, tell me everything you know, you can't hide anything, Qingzhu goes out first." Fang Qing said, he felt that the fire was not easy, and the clues might be found from the people around Aunt Xue.

"Yes." Qingzhu respectfully agreed and walked out.

Only Yulu was left in the hall, and her expression became even more flustered. At this time, she thought of Aunt Xue's situation after she came back from the old lady. At that time, she carefully scrubbed Aunt Xue. After scrubbing, she asked a doctor to apply ointment. , Aunt Xue drove her out and slept alone in the house for a while, only letting her go to the street to buy pastries. After she came back, Aunt Xue's residence was already in flames.

Yulu was timid and afraid, when Fang Qing asked, she immediately told everything she knew.

Fang Qing observes Yulu's panicked face. Yulu is the most caring maid around Aunt Xue. From the stage when Aunt Xue was favored and lost power, she has been serving her by Aunt Xue's side, which shows that Yulu is very loyal to Aunt Xue.Is it possible that she is lying?

Fang Qing asked with a cold face: "How did Aunt Xue look when she asked for the pastries you bought? Are you very angry?" Uno suddenly moved in his heart. How could he eat pastries after being beaten up?

"Auntie's expression is not bad, she's not too angry." When Yulu said this, she was surprised that Aunt Xue didn't feel resentful at that time, and she didn't feel out of breath after she came back, and she stopped cursing.

"...Really? Aunt Xue must have done a lot of dirty things in the house. As her confidant, you should tell them all." Fang Qing's words were like the trial of Hades. Shivering, sweating coldly.

"Master, I don't know anything about Auntie, please enlighten me, Master." Yulu was terrified. Now that Aunt Xue is dead, she knows what Aunt Xue said and did in the past, and she even participated in some of them. If she came out, she could die a few lives.Anyway, Aunt Xue is dead, and there is no proof of her death. She does not admit or confess, and the young master probably does not know about the past.

After hearing Yulu's words, Fang Qing's face became furious. With a glass of water in his hand, he poured it on Yulu, and said murderously: "Do you think I don't know if you don't tell me? Think about your family, I have thousands of There is no way for you to speak out, if you don't want your family to have trouble, I advise you to be honest."

Yulu's face was pale, and she felt cold all over her body in an instant. She is a slave of Fang Mansion, and she can be beaten or killed at his disposal. Even her family members are also slaves of Fang Mansion. The lives of the whole family are in Fang Qing's hands superior.

"Slaves tell me all about it." Yulu didn't dare to speak harshly, she picked up what she could say and said something.She is not an idiot, but the things that Aunt Xue asked her to do before were useless.

"My aunt doesn't like the young master and the fourth miss. She has hurt the young lady and the young master many times. When the young lady was ten years old, she put manic powder in the young lady's pillow..." Fang Qing's face turned livid after hearing Yulu's words, even though he knew Aunt Xue He was vicious, but he still felt chills after listening to it again. He knew some of what Yulu said, but he didn't know some of it.

Unexpectedly, Aunt Xue did so many things secretly to harm his family. Mrs. Lin was given a kind of debilitating medicine by her all the year round, so that she was often depressed.After Mrs. Lin went to Yun'an, Aunt Xue couldn't take medicine. Mrs. Lin was in a happy mood and her health improved a lot.

All this can make Aunt Xue die.

After hearing what Yulu had finished speaking, Fang Qing looked at Yulu with an unfriendly expression and said, "Have you finished? What else is left to tell, tell the truth."

"No slaves." Yulu was anxious, she said everything she could say, and said everything she couldn't say, what else should she say?
"Do you know if my aunt has had an affair with the old man during this time?" Fang Qing asked.

"No." After Yulu finished speaking, she saw Fang Qing stabbing at her sharply. Yulu's heart trembled, and she said everything she knew: "Master, I really don't know about her and the Elder Master. It’s just that my aunt is very strange, the door is closed all day long, and we are not allowed to go in. I sometimes hear strange noises outside the door, but I really don’t know the rest. Please spare your life, young master.”

"Hmph! Go down thirty boards and lock up." Fang Qing shouted coldly, and Yulu was dragged down in a collapsed state. She didn't dare to intercede. This punishment is too light for her. If it is really punished, she should be executed. of.
