Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 658 A Little Clue

When Shen Cha rushed to the scene with his bodyguards, the situation was already under control.

Because the Imperial Army and the Patrol Battalion dealt with it in a timely and appropriate manner, although it looked like the fire was quite large, the number of casualties was not as many as expected. Only more than [-] people closest to the scene of the incident were injured, which is already the best. A result of .

"Little tea!" Bai Meng told the guards around her, walked to Shen Cha, lowered her body and said, "I received what you asked Dai Yi to bring to me, and I checked it out carefully. I really have to thank you very much." The fire is really an unexpected surprise!"

"My premonition is right? Elder brother also said that I was thinking too much." Shen Cha raised her eyebrows, "I was just a little uneasy, so I asked Dai Yi to remind you, I didn't expect..." She shook her head gently, "What did you find?"

"There are only a few clues, so it's not a special discovery. I guess it's similar to the situation of the servants and maids in the palace before. They are all small fish and shrimps, and they don't know what's going on."

"Small fish and shrimp are fine too. We don't know anything about that side now, so we have to grasp any clues. Commander, we don't have the qualifications to pick and choose." Shen Cha wrapped the fox fur cloak around his body tightly, Looking around, "Where are people? Are they all under control?"

"There is no need to control them at all. They can't run even if they want to. They are all lying in the tent!"

"What does this mean?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Injured?"

"Isn't it!" Bai Meng raised her chin, pointing to the food street that burned half of it, "Maybe this sentence is not appropriate, but I still have to say that the fire came at the right time, like a gift from heaven. We're a big piece of the pie."

"To be clear, this fire was their premeditation?"

"What kind of premeditation? It was really an accident." Bai Meng was amused by Shen Cha's words, "The two brothers brought their wives and children out for dinner, and their children were chasing and fighting along the way. Well, there are many children, and the adults don’t take care of them very much. According to them, just play and play, as long as there is no accident.”

"As long as there is no accident?" Shen Cha snorted coldly, "Isn't this considered an accident? How big is it going to happen?"

"They didn't expect it to be so serious. A few children ran to a small stall of fried crispy rice." Bai Meng said, leading Shen Cha to the location of the small stall where the accident happened. "Where is the stall owner?" , and just said a few things like don’t make a fuss here, be careful when it’s hot, after all, this frying pan is too hot, even children with a little perception don’t want to get close to it, right?” Seeing Shen Cha nodding, he continued Said, "The stall owner has done his duty and reminded him before the accident happened, but the children didn't listen, and the adults at home didn't care."

"A child knocked over the frying pan?"

"One of the children wore a cloak with a belt, and the belt accidentally caught a small nail protruding from the top of the oil pan shelf. The child didn't know it, and kept running with his friend, so he took the oil pan with him. fall down."

"Looking at the traces of being burned, I'm afraid a frying pan cannot be burned like this."

Song Yaojia's voice sounded behind the two of them. When they turned their heads, they saw His Royal Highness, who was tightly wrapped up, squinting his eyes at the place where the accident happened first.

"His Royal Highness!" Bai Meng saluted Song Yaojia, "I disturbed the prince, my minister..."

"Hey, it's nothing to disturb or not to disturb, so don't say such polite words." Song Yaojia pointed behind him, "I brought something, you can ask someone to receive it."

"Yes!" Bai Meng asked his guards to follow him to receive them, while he continued to explain the situation to Song Yaojia and Shen Cha, "Your Highness is right, there is more than one frying pan. Don't look at this stall as small, a total of Three frying pans were placed side by side. There was a child who ran away without knowing how, and the belt on his body was caught on the innermost frying pan, and the two outermost ones were caught. By the way, it fell down." He pointed to the ground again, "You have also seen that there are many fried foods on this food street, and there is a lot of oil on the ground. When the sparks fell on the ground, the entire camp was on fire in an instant. At that time, there were still many people on this street. Fortunately, there were brothers from the patrol battalion nearby, and they evacuated in time. Crowd, otherwise..." He shook his head, "The consequences would be disastrous."

"This can be regarded as an innocent disaster. Now the adults in the family are unwilling to teach the children well, let the children run around in such a dangerous place, and hurt the whole street." Song Yaojia curled his lips, glanced twice, and turned Looking at Bai Meng with his head, he said, "If I remember correctly, you Imperial Army and Patrol Battalion wrote a note to the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Army Division at the beginning of the year, saying that you would repair several food streets in the city. Seems like you'd be worried about something like this, right?"

"That's right, there is such a thing, and I mentioned it more than once. Moreover, I also specifically told Jing Zhaoyin, but unfortunately, there is no more to follow." Bai Meng spread her hands together, her face full Helpless, "It's all right now, what we were worried about happened, let's see how Jing Zhaoyin will explain to His Majesty..."

"How else can I explain it? If it's less serious, it's a crime and meritorious service. After dealing with the follow-up, His Majesty sees his hard work and meritorious service. He will be fined for half a year's salary and dozens of boards. If it is more serious, he will be dismissed and investigated." Shen Cha looked around. , Seeing Jing Zhaoyin who was standing far away from them, who looked timid and did not dare to come to them, he slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, isn't Master Jing Zhaoyin here?" Have you?" Seeing that Bai Meng wanted someone to call Jing Zhaoyin over, she quickly stopped her, "Let him stand there, and let's see how many people and families he brought to him because of his mistakes. A disaster is coming. But there is one thing that I find quite strange. This lord usually seems to act vigorously and decisively, but something went wrong? What is the meaning of this?"

"There's nothing to say, I just don't want to offend people." Bai Meng sighed softly, "These food streets seem to sell unremarkable snacks, but the amount of money earned in a day is also Quite huge. If this is closed for governance, how many people will lose their money!"

"Break money? This time, I can't do it if I don't want to. I've burned this virtue, and it's impossible to do business anyway." Song Yaojia sneered, "It's a pity that here are all these small stalls, there are no fixed shops, There are no common people living here, otherwise, dismissal and investigation would be light."

"Your Highness said so!" Bai Meng led Song Yaojia and Shen Cha to the tent where the wounded were housed, "They're all inside, I've checked with the Langzhong, the most seriously burned children are those from that stall. The stall owner, and the others all have skin injuries, not particularly serious."

"En!" Shen Cha nodded, "The one you mentioned is the stall owner?"

Bai Meng lifted the curtain of the tent, Song Yaojia and Shen Cha looked in at the same time, and saw that the barriers inside were clearly defined, the stall owner and his family were huddled together, and the two brothers and his family were in another corner .

The two of them took a serious look at the stall owner, and before they found out, they quickly backed out, stayed away from the tent with Bai Meng, and returned to the scene of the accident.

"Where?"

"The inside of the wrist. When the doctor was applying the medicine, I accidentally saw it. Xiaocha, I was the same as the Duke of the country before. I thought you were making a fuss over a molehill. I didn't expect... It was a surprise!" Bai Meng led two people Walking up to the overturned frying pan shelf, pointing to the legs of the shelf, "Take a look, both of you."

Shen Cha and Song Yaojia glanced at each other, sighed and looked over at the same time, and saw a pattern engraved on the inside of the shelf leg that they just saw on the letter that King Ning took out today.

"Dai Yi!" Shen Cha waved to Dai Yi who was not far away, "Go and check the situation of this stall owner, see who is in his family, who he usually contacts with, and besides going out every day Besides, I like something else.”

"Yes!"

"Come back!" Shen Cha raised the corners of her lips, "Be quiet and don't disturb others, understand?"

"understand!"
