After marrying wrongly, I became the general's white moonlight

Chapter 123 Investigating the Murderer
At this time, Murong Qing in the study was surrounded by thick smoke, his head was dizzy, and he passed out.

When Pei Mo rushed into the study, he was choked by a puff of smoke and burst into tears, and hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth and nose.

"Ma'am, can you hear me?" Although the study room was already on fire, Pei Mo's body did not stop.

"Peng!"

At this time, a piece of wood on the beam was burned by the fire and fell down heavily.

Pei Mo hurriedly dodged to dodge, and saw a few logs above his head, crashing down, and hurried away several meters away.

The group of servants outside were also very frightened, and they all became nervous. Their eyes were even straighter and they dared not leave Pei Mo, for fear that his life would be threatened.

Murong Qing's aura had gradually weakened, and at this moment he could not hear any sound from the outside world.

Pei Mo searched every corner of the house, and finally found Murong Qing lying on the ground in the corner, and rushed over in three steps at a time.

"How are you ma'am?"

Pei Mo picked up Murong Qing's body from the ground, and found that she had no strength, her body was limp, her eyes were closed, her face was pale, the situation was very urgent, and her heart was even more anxious.

A few more logs were burnt, rather than being smashed to the ground by the enemy.

"I'll take you to see the doctor right away!"

Pei Mo hugged Murong Qing vigorously, and just walked two steps, the place where he was lying just now was already covered by the fire.

"General! Ma'am!"

Pei Mo rushed out of the fire scene with Murong Qing in his arms, and the people waiting outside hurried up to greet him.

Seeing that Pei Mo was safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but in the blink of an eye they saw the unconscious Murong Qing in his arms, and their expressions could not help but be full of worry.

"General, the sedan chair is ready," a servant hurried up to report, "General, please get on the sedan chair."

Murong Qing was in a coma, and the two of them couldn't ride horses, so Pei Mo hurriedly got into the sedan chair and rushed back to the general's mansion.

After getting Murong Qing settled down, Pei Mo got up and walked into the courtyard with a sullen face.

"Liu Shen!"

With a shout, Liu Shen immediately appeared in front of Pei Mo, bowing his waist slightly, with a respectful look.

"General."

Pei Mo said with a clouded expression, "Go and investigate for me immediately, and report immediately if you have any clues."

"Yes!"

Liu Shen also knew that Murong Qing was seriously injured this time, and with Pei Mo's feelings for Murong Qing on weekdays, he guessed that he would never let it go this time, so he followed the order and hurriedly turned around and left the General's Mansion.

At this moment, Ping'er came out of the room.

"General, the doctor has already checked Madam's pulse, saying that Madam's condition is basically stable now, but she still needs a thousand-year-old ginseng, which will be beneficial to her condition."

Pei Mo frowned slightly.

Thousand-year-old ginseng is also a rare and precious medicinal material. Since it is not available in the doctor's place, it means that it is difficult to find.

But he didn't panic, after all, he was still influential in the capital.

"Immediately go and put up a notice saying that I want to buy millennium ginseng. It doesn't matter what the price is. The key is to be quick!"

"Yes." Ping'er hastily agreed, bowed his knees and saluted, and hastily explained the matter to another servant.

The news of Murong Qing's encounter with the fire soon reached Yan Jingtian's ears.

When Yan Jingtian arrived, Pei Mo was still standing in the courtyard with a gloomy face, the anger in his heart had not dissipated.

"Is the injury serious?" Yan Jingtian walked to Pei Mo and stopped, and looked worriedly into Murong Qing's room.

He only saw a few servant girls serving Murong Qing around, but they were lying quietly on the bed without any movement.

Pei Mo was silent for a while, the worry in his eyes already explained everything.

"I brought a thousand-year-old ginseng, use it quickly." Yan Jingtian saw what Pei Mo was thinking, and hurriedly handed the ginseng she brought to him.

A little surprise flashed in Pei Mo's heart, but he quickly took the thousand-year-old ginseng with gratitude in his eyes.

"Thanks."

"It's all buddies, you can be polite if you just say thank you to me, hurry up and use it, don't talk nonsense." Yan Jingtian was careless, as if it was an ordinary thing for Pei Mo, not worth mentioning at all.

Pei Mo called his servants and explained a few words, and the servants took the ginseng and went to the kitchen to suffer.

In the corridor outside the house, elder brothers, servant girls and servants came and went in a hurry, all busy about Murong Qing's affairs.

Standing in the yard, Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian couldn't calm down.

"How did this happen so suddenly, have you checked who set the fire?" Yan Jingtian finally spoke.

Pei Mo's voice was gloomy: "It has already been sent to investigate, and this time I find out the murderer behind the scenes, I will definitely not spare him lightly!"

Yan Jingtian pondered for a moment, and frowned tightly, secretly feeling that this matter is not simple.

"My sister-in-law has a noble status, but she was still murdered. That person must have already laid out a careful plan. I'm afraid it will be difficult to investigate. Why don't I investigate with you." Yan Jingtian volunteered to share his concerns with Pei Mo.

Pei Mo also wanted to quickly catch the murderer behind the scenes, so he didn't refuse, but patted Yan Jingtian on the shoulder lightly, feeling very grateful.

"That's great, let's go check it out together."

The two got on their horses and quickly arrived at the scene of the fire.

The entire crime scene has been surrounded by Pei Mo's order, and no one is allowed to enter or leave.

Pei Mo and Yan Jingtian went straight to the door of the bookstore, and first carefully checked the lock on the door.

"This lock looks like it was newly replaced." Yan Tiantian stretched out his hand, touched the lock that had been blackened by the fire, frowned, and made a new discovery, "We just need to find out where we bought this lock, We can follow this lead to follow.”

Pei Mo also came over, checked the lock himself, and felt that what Yan Jingtian said was consistent with what he thought, so he ordered his servants to check.

Not many, after a while a few people who went out to investigate came to report.

"General, this lock is from the blacksmith shop in the west of the city."

"Let's go to the iron shop in the west of the city."

The iron shop in the west of the city was surrounded by Pei Mo's subordinates, and the shop owner was also very nervous.

"Don't be nervous, we are here to ask you a few questions, and you can answer truthfully," Yan Jingtian smiled when he first came in, and looked very kind, but then his face became serious, "But if you find that you have lied, then I will arrest you and treat you as a murderer."

"Don't dare dare... My lord, if you have something to ask, I will answer it truthfully." The owner of Chengxi Iron Shop was so frightened that Yan Jingtian was so frightened.

Pei Mo said with a gloomy face, "How many locks have you sold here recently, and who did you sell them to?"

"Return...Return to my lord, I only sold one lock during this time," the iron shop owner confessed honestly, "Xiao Mu, a beggar on the street, bought it."
