After marrying, I spoiled His Majesty the Holy Monarch

Chapter 152 Deliberate or Accidental?

"I understand, I understand, of course the officer understands." The county magistrate immediately nodded in understanding, and then passed something over under the cover of his sleeve.

"I just hope that General Yuan Shou can say a few nice words in front of the adults above if he can."

Yuan Ming glanced at the thing, his eyes flickered slightly, he shook the wine in his glass, and said in a low voice: "It's not difficult, County Magistrate Guo, don't worry, I will pay more attention to this matter."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the county magistrate felt relieved. As long as this can be done, then he will not bleed in vain today.

"Then I would like to thank General Yuan Shou first."

Yuan Ming toasted and said nothing more.

Afterwards, the two stopped talking and concentrated on watching the singing and dancing.

Originally, tonight was supposed to be a peaceful night, but when the banquet reached its climax and everyone was eating and drinking happily, suddenly, a strange smell wafted from nowhere.

It smelled like something was burnt, but the smell was not strong, so no one at the banquet paid much attention to it.

Until someone suddenly shouted: "It's not good, it's on fire..."

"Come on, put out the fire!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was startled, even those who were a little bit drunk woke up——

"What? It's on fire, where is it on fire?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a flame rushing over from the garden next to him, and immediately ignited the mat cloth on the table.

The cloth is extremely flammable, and the table is full of jugs. With the help of wine, the fire spread rapidly in a short time.

With such a fire, no one has the leisure to continue eating, drinking and watching, and it is too late to escape.

For a moment, the entire banquet hall was in great chaos, and some people even bumped into others and turned their backs on their backs.

But in the end, fortunately, it was discovered in time, and everyone escaped in time, without causing any casualties.

It's just that the county government office was burnt to the point where it was black and charred, and where it collapsed. Obviously, it was temporarily uninhabitable.

"How did this fire start?" County magistrate Guo angrily asked the first servant who shouted fire.

"Tell me, did you set the fire?" The magistrate Guo almost vomited blood when the good county government was burned to such an extent. How much would it cost to repair the county government?

If you let him know who set the fire, hum...

Hearing this, the servant immediately turned pale, and hurriedly said: "My lord, I am wronged, it has nothing to do with the servant. The servant just happened to pass the kitchen and saw black smoke rising from the kitchen. When he got closer, he realized that it was on fire."

"How did this fire start, and who set it on fire, the servant really doesn't know, please forgive me, my lord."

The servant was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat, he quickly explained the situation in detail, for fear of being treated as a scapegoat.

It wasn't what he did, so don't take the blame for it.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Guo is not a fool, and it doesn't look like he is lying, so he didn't doubt it anymore.

But his anger didn't dissipate so quickly now, so he naturally had to find someone to vent his anger on.

"Since you said it wasn't you, why don't you go with them to find the real person who set the fire?"

County magistrate Guo was so angry that he was kicked over by that servant. It was really a sightless thing.

As if he didn't feel relieved enough, he kicked hard several times.

The servant was kicked and rolled all over the ground, but he didn't dare to roll too much, so he quickly stood up, answered "yes", and ran away in a hurry.

Yuan Mingzi also paid special attention to the inexplicable fire in the county government.

After all, whether it was an accidental fire or someone deliberately set it on fire, the meanings of the two are quite different.

Therefore, Yuan Ming had no choice but to stay temporarily, planning to leave after the cause of the fire was found out.
