The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 178 Murder and Arson

"What did you say?" Ning Yuezhao couldn't believe her ears, and Jiang Nian's eyes darkened.

Qingchi would go to set the fire, or because the young man was jealous, this is simply a big joke!
Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, the officer who came to deliver the message was a little anxious for a while.Although he didn't know why his lord urged him to bring the words to these two people, but he saw that the two people were dressed luxuriously and their looks were very comparable, so he didn't dare to slack off.

"Young master, ma'am, this matter is absolutely true. Mr. Lu must bring his words to those who are small. Now that the small task has been completed, if he wants to go back to assist the adults, he will leave first."

After finishing speaking, the servant was about to leave.

"Wait." Ning Yuezhao stopped him, "Take us to the Green Bamboo Pavilion."

Since Lu Ji envoys came to spread the word, and if Qingchi is indeed involved in this matter, then we must go and see what's going on.

Zui Jin was in the east of the city, because a fire suddenly broke out in the west of the city, causing many people to watch, and the carriage was blocked on the road.

Ning Yuezhao anxiously lifted the curtain of the car, and all she could see was crowded heads, and the streets were full of water.

"Damn it!" She couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "It's not a big show to be on fire, why are there so many people rushing to watch!"

Jiang Nian put one hand on her shoulder, and looked out of the car with a cool look, "It's nothing to see when it's on fire, but if this fire is the first prize of Chunwei, it's most likely to win the first prize and the first place in the palace exam tomorrow." If people let it go, it will look good."

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, Jiang Nian's statement was exactly what she was worried about, but she was still waiting for her to say anything.

They got into their carriage together, and the guard who was sitting with the driver said outside the carriage: "My lord, madam, you don't know something. After we received the report from the people beating the drums, Lord Fucheng immediately sent someone to inform Lord Lu, I rushed over with some brothers first, and the younger one was also among the people who went with me at that time.

When we arrived, the Green Bamboo Pavilion was already engulfed in flames, and there were still many people who hadn't escaped in time. A girl with scorched earth marks on her face fell down in front of the Green Bamboo Pavilion, her eyes were empty, and she hugged her tightly in her arms. A young man, although he didn't show his whole face, but the face that was only exposed... Tsk tsk, it's so beautiful that it's not like ordinary people!
The old bustard of the Green Bamboo House also escaped, and she identified the girl as the one who set fire to the murderer.Because my lord got close to Ms. Yan recently, he immediately recognized this as Mrs. Yan's daughter.

When Master Fucheng saw that something was going wrong, he ordered people to watch Miss Yan while organizing people to put out the fire. "

Is it a beautiful young man who doesn't look like a mortal?Ning Yuezhao's mind suddenly flashed the magnificent face that day in the pavilion of Yan Mansion Garden.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Nian noticed something was wrong with her and asked in a low voice.

Ning Yuezhao put down the car curtain with a gloomy expression, "Do you still remember the little beggar who was rescued by Qingchi? I saw him in Yan's mansion that day. He washed off the dirt and changed into a new suit. Even a woman is the same color." Lose him by three points."

Jiang Nian's heart trembled, "In this way, the handsome boy mentioned by the yamen servant is most likely the little beggar."

"Go over immediately!" Ning Yuezhao opened the curtain again, but the congestion outside did not change at all.

"Young Master, Madam." The guard suddenly said, "This road will be impassable for a while. I know that there is a small road that can be copied, but it is not suitable for carriages. If the two of you are really in a hurry, it is better to follow the younger one. Let's walk there, it will only take a quarter of an hour."

"Okay, you lead the way."

At this time, in front of the Green Bamboo Pavilion.

Although it is called a pavilion here, it actually looks like a house with three entrances and three exits. There is a gate and an atrium. The seat in the main courtyard in the middle is a three-story building. As exquisite as possible, it is a famous gold selling nest in the imperial capital.

Lu Ji was directing the guards of Shuntian Mansion to put out the fire, because the weather has been dry recently and it is windy today, the entire main building is now bathed in fire.

The surrounding residents have been evacuated by the people of Shuntian Prefecture. Fortunately, the Green Bamboo Pavilion occupies a large area and keeps a certain distance from the surrounding buildings.

When Jiang Nian and Ning Yuezhao arrived, half of the main building had collapsed, and the fire was gradually weakening, but the expressions on the land base were not at all relaxed.

"Blue Pond!"

Ning Yuezhao saw Qingchi who was in a daze at a glance, and she was standing there in a daze, with blood stains on her blue dress.The young man named Aqi that I met in Yan Mansion was standing beside Qingchi, his expression was like a wounded little beast, his hands were tightly clutching Qingchi's sleeves, he was wearing a scarlet robe, but that robe It was baggy, and the style did not look like an ordinary man's robe, and it was torn in several places.

Hearing the familiar voice, Qingchi finally came back to his senses, looked at Ning Yuezhao with a complicated expression, "You...why are you here?"

Ning Yuezhao strode up to her, "What's going on?"

Before Qingchi could open his mouth, the boy named Aqi said in a low voice: "It's all my fault... I've brought sister Qing into trouble..."

Qingchi shook his head again and again, "It's none of your business, I set the fire and I killed the people!"

Ning Yuezhao was slightly stunned, quickly supported her by the shoulder, and forced her to look at him, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Qingchi pursed his lips, "Qingchi has failed your trust, it's just what I did, and I am responsible for it myself."

Tomorrow, the list will be released to determine her title of number one scholar, and Ning Yuezhao can already imagine that the ministers will enter the palace overnight to ask her to remove Qingchi after this incident of arson and murder.If Qingchi didn't admit it, she would definitely insist that the matter be suppressed, but Qingchi actually admitted it now!
"Who are you, I still don't know?" Ning Yuezhao was a little annoyed and she didn't argue, "Have you been brainwashed by the smoke? Shuntian Mansion hasn't investigated this kind of thing clearly yet, how dare you admit it casually! "

Qingchi wanted to say something more, but Aqi had already said first: "Sister Your Majesty, I did the things, I killed the people, and I set the fire. Don't arrest Sister Qing, I did it!"

Lu Ji noticed the situation on the side of Qingchi, so he walked towards this side, because the two people were traveling in low clothes, so he just cupped his hands, which was regarded as a salute.

Qingchi pulled Aqi over, blocked him behind, raised his head and said to the others: "Don't listen to his childish nonsense, I did the thing."

Lu Ji moved his lips and was about to speak when a middle-aged woman who was slightly fat rushed forward. Her heavy makeup had been smeared by fireworks and her hair was in a mess. She grabbed Lu Ji's robe, knelt down and cried Authentic: "My lord, you want to be the master for the women! This green bamboo house is all the property of the women, and they will rely on them for the rest of their lives. Now it is cured, and it has been turned into ashes! You said it before, No matter what the status of the person who committed the crime in the imperial capital is, you will be the master for the people! Now you can’t play favoritism just because the murderer is the Taifu’s daughter!”

The high-pitched female voice strongly stimulated the ears of the people present, but the person didn't notice it, and kept crying.

The corners of Lu Ji's mouth were tense, and his back was stiff as he said, "Of course what I said counts. It's just that the current situation is unclear. After the truth is found out, I will deal with it fairly."

Qingchi walked up to Lu Ji, and stretched out his hands towards him, "Sir, catch me, it has nothing to do with anyone else."

Jiang Nian, who had been watching quietly, glanced at him coldly, and said indifferently: "Before we rush to take responsibility, can someone explain the ins and outs clearly?"

The middle-aged woman saw Jiang Nian's extraordinary demeanor, and the Lord Fuyin treated him respectfully. She thought it was some high-ranking official, so she walked up to Jiang Nian on her knees, "My lord, the lady is the owner of the Green Bamboo House. Today It was the first day for our new little girl, Yuqi, to be listed. According to the rules, there was a bid, and the one with the highest bid would have the opportunity to own Yuqi for one night. In the end, the richest man in Jinzhou, Mr. Du Xidu, bid for 1 taels of silver. Yes, but after Yuqi was delivered to Mr. Du's room, the girl Yan broke into the building with her servants, saying she wanted to find her younger brother.

The people brought by Ms. Yan were so vicious that our nursing home couldn't stop them. In the end, Ms. Yan broke into Master Du's room.After Miss Yan entered, she locked the door, and the room was very quiet, so I asked someone to watch outside the door.About half an hour later, a dispute broke out in the room. After our people broke in, they found Mr. Du lying on the ground, his head was deformed by someone hitting him, and there was blood all over the place!And the curtains in the room were all lit, and Miss Yan's robe was also blood-stained, and she was holding the candlestick in her hand.

Suddenly it caught fire, and the whole building was in chaos, and we couldn't care about anything else, the most important thing was to escape! "

In order to create a luxurious atmosphere, these brothels and Chu halls decorated the rooms with many gauze curtains and curtains, so the fire was out of control.

Jiang Nian's eyes darkened, and he said lightly: "So, you didn't see that it was Qingchi who moved."

Hua Niang raised her head and said: "My lord, there are only her and Mr. Du in this room. She is still holding a candlestick in her hand, and there are bloodstains on her body. It is not who she is!"

Jiang Nian glanced at Aqi who was behind Qingchi, "Isn't there a young lady named Yuqi?"

Aceh was terrified by Jiang Nian's sudden gaze, he was tightly clutching Qingchi's sleeve, his body trembling visibly.

Hua Niang shook her head, "Impossible, that child Yuqi is very delicate, how could he kill the tall and burly Master Du?"

After finishing speaking, she also followed Jiang Nian's gaze, with a greedy smile on her face, "Yuqi is the only beauty that a little lady has ever seen in her life, adults will know after seeing him..."

Qingchi frowned, and said loudly: "What nonsense are you talking about, he is my younger brother, not some young lady from the Green Bamboo House, it is clear that you are the ones who snatched the son of a good family!"

Hua Niang sneered, "Miss Yan, even though the Green Bamboo House was burned down by you, the deeds of prostitution of our young lady are all recorded in the government, adults feel free to check, if the little lady has half a lie, Tell me to die!"
