Chapter 94 The culprit
"Say." Qiu Yeli glanced lightly, took a sip from the teacup in front of her, and replied casually.

"You have to introduce a new dish. Since the last hot pot, Tianxiangju hasn't released a new dish for a long time." Wang Mian was slightly dissatisfied. Let's say she had been in the palace for the past few days and couldn't take care of Tianxiangju, but she After he came back, he kept guarding the clinic every day, but he didn't even bother to read the account books of Tianxiangju. As a partner, he really couldn't see it.

"What? The customer base of Tianxiangju has been lost?" Qiu Yeli frowned. She didn't think there was any restaurant in the capital that could surpass Tianxiangju in a while.

"That's not true," Wang Mian raised his chin slightly, with a proud expression on his face, "Do you know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace? We can't be satisfied with the status quo. We must continue to innovate, let those people fall behind, make Tianxiangju bigger and stronger, and even open branches. To the neighboring country!"

Wang Mian closed the fan and said loudly.

Qiu Yeli silently rolled his eyes at him, but he didn't expect this guy's career ideals to be so impassioned.

"Understood, I'll go back and think about it." Qiu Yeli said lightly, with no ups and downs in her emotions.

"Okay! Then it's decided!" Wang Mian was very excited, and took out a key from his waist, "This is the key to the house, take it!"

Qiu Yeli put away the keys unceremoniously, stood up and pretended to say, "Thank you Wang Shao for your help, I thank you for those children!"

"Don't be so timid!" Wang Mian waved her hand. She never relents when cheating herself, and then said seriously, "The cause of the fire has been found out? I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Qiu Yeli nodded, she naturally understood that if there were accidents happening one after another in the Luo Palace, she would never believe that no one was secretly contributing to the flames.

After leaving the teahouse, Qiu Yeli got into the carriage and rushed to Tongjiyuan. Wang Mian's house was on the same street as Tongjiyuan.

"Ma'am!" The children of Tongjiyuan were very well-behaved, they were moving out the unburned things in the yard and put them in the open space, Xiaoxiao ran towards Qiu Yeli.

Qiu Yeli walked over, and the children surrounded her. Qiu Yeli comforted her, and went in to find Gu Jingyao.

This Tongji Hall was jointly built by the two of them, and it was quite uncomfortable to see the ruined walls and ruins everywhere.

"My lord, this is Wang Mian's house. It is used to accommodate the children temporarily. I will find a craftsman to repair it tomorrow. It will be completed within half a month."

Akiba Rika took out the key and said softly.

"En." Gu Jingyao responded, and turned to look at Qiu Yeli, "Someone set fire on purpose."

Qiu Yeli opened her eyes slightly, a little unbelievable, this is just a philanthropic hall, who would leave so wicked?

"The fire should be in the kitchen, and there are traces of kerosene around, so someone must have set the fire on purpose." Gu Jingyao inspected it and said firmly.

"The kitchen? People from Tongji Hall?" Qiu Yeli frowned, and Lin Qiulian's figure flashed in his mind, could it be her?
"My lord, everyone in Tongji Hall has been found out. Except for a girl named Lin Qiulian who is not there, everyone else is here!" At this moment, Gu Jingyao's bodyguard stepped forward to report, which basically confirmed his charge of absconding in fear of crime.

Gu Jingyao frowned, he didn't seem surprised by the news, "The city is closed for search and arrest, and the arrest warrant is posted, and the person must be found!"

"Yes, my lord!" The subordinate quickly took the order and left.

Qiu Yeli looked at him, "Is it really Lin Qiulian? Why did she do this?"

Qiu Yeli still couldn't figure it out, even if she had some feud with herself, why did she set fire to Tongjiyuan?Hurt those innocent children?

"I'm afraid she has to answer it herself." Gu Jingyao said coldly, his eyes full of chills.

It has to be said that Gu Jingyao's guards were very efficient, but within two hours, Lin Qiulian was tied back.

"My lord, when our people arrived, this person was about to leave the city!" the man reported in a low voice.

Gu Jingyao responded, looked at the woman in coarse cloth, with disheveled hair and a burden on her back, and said coldly, "Why do you do this?"

"I don't know what you are talking about, Brother Gu, why did you arrest me? I didn't do anything!" Lin Qiulian looked flustered, and crawled forward to grab Gu Jingyao's clothes, but was restrained.

"You don't know what to run for? Could it be that you fled because you were angry and guilty?" Qiu Yeli glanced at him condescendingly, and said lightly.

"No, no, I didn't escape, I just went out of the city to worship my father, yes, I went out of the city to worship my father!" Lin Qiulian rolled her eyes and quickly found an excuse for herself.

"Then your baggage is paper money?" Qiu Yeli sneered, such a lie full of loopholes was so clumsy that she disdained to expose it, she gestured to her subordinates with her eyes, and someone came forward to check immediately.

Lin Qiulian protected the burden and said loudly, "Don't come here! Don't touch me!"

Gu Jingyao frowned fiercely at the posture like a shrew cursing the street, and said coldly, "Shut up!"

Suddenly there was no sound, Gu Jingyao stepped forward slowly, looked at him and said coldly, "I'm asking again, why did you do this?"

Lin Qiulian looked at his undisguised disgust, her expression gradually changed from fear to a crazy sneer, she stood up and looked at Gu Jingyao, "Why? Don't you know, it's all because of you!"

Lin Qiulian pointed at Gu Jingyao, and said slowly, "For you, I followed my father from Kyoto to that barren and barren village, but you never looked at me, and even turned around and married this lowly wild girl of unknown origin." After finally waiting for you to return to the capital, you left me aside and ignored me. Instead, the emperor got a marriage from the emperor. Now that my father is dead, I have nowhere to go. Don’t you value this Tongjitang? I am To show you what it's like to lose something important!"

Gu Jingyao frowned and looked at the mad woman without saying a word, but Qiu Yeli said lightly, "The child is innocent."

"Shut up! What qualifications do you have to educate me? If you didn't use indecent means, why would Brother Gu be with you? Brother Gu, you can still feel sorry for these strangers, why can't you?" Have pity on me? Even if it's just being a maid by your side! But you won't even tolerate me!"

Lin Qiulian stared at Qiu Yeli with a ferocious face, and then looked at the indifferent Gu Jingyao with an aggrieved expression.

It seems that something happened that she didn't know about, which made Lin Qiulian so demented and insane, "Come here, take me to Dali Temple!" Gu Jingyao opened her thin lips lightly, and said without emotion, her complexion did not even change at all.

Lin Qiulian sat on the ground slumped, no longer struggling, and let the guards step forward to hold her arm.

"Wait!" Suddenly a familiar voice sounded.
