Sui Sui Jianing

Chapter 70 Chapter 36

"Do you know the cause of the fire?" Chu Wuhen looked at the gambling house that was getting closer, and could already feel the heat wave coming towards him.

The young man shook his head: "I don't know for the time being, I asked the clerk in the gambling house, and they said there are still people in the backyard."

"Who is the shopkeeper? Where is it?"

While speaking, he had already arrived near the gambling house. The Imperial Forest Army maintained order and did not allow idlers to approach the fire scene.

Jindu Mansion Yin Lu Suida brought people over and was directing the servants to fetch water and put out the fire.

Chu Wuhen glanced at him, but didn't step forward immediately.

The boy touched the back of his head and said, "I don't know."

Chu Wuhen ordered: "Go, get the shopkeeper."

"Yes!"

……

The fire in the backyard gradually died down, and Jin Yiwei, who rushed in to save people, brought out several charred corpses.

Seeing the people coming out, the guarding guards immediately poured water on them, "How is it, are you all right? Is there still life left?"

The Jinyi guards shook their heads: "There are no survivors, only a few burnt corpses beyond recognition, these are carried out first, and there will be more behind!"

"Okay! Another group of people will go in!"

The black corpses were carried out, and the people watching outside couldn't help but exclaimed. Meng Changji, who was hiding in the crowd, watched coldly and silently counted the number.

After a quarter of an hour, the last group of people also came out, and said to the leader of the Imperial Forest Army: "My lord, they are all here, a total of eleven corpses."

"Okay, you will hand over these corpses to the Governor of Jindu in a while..."

Meng Changji couldn't hear what they said later, his heart beat heavily, and his eyelids trembled.

Eleven?How could it be eleven?He counted clearly, twelve people were called tonight, how could there be only eleven corpses?
A flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, tearing the night sky like a bolt of lightning, and he reacted suddenly: Someone ran away!

Thinking of this, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his hands and feet lost their warmth in an instant.

"Hey, have you seen the shopkeeper of Yuelai Casino?"

"It was still there just now, why did it disappear in a blink of an eye?"

Jin Yiwei came looking for him, Meng Changji suddenly felt his scalp tighten, no, we can't stay here any longer, when Jin Yiwei came to his senses, he would be exposed, so he had to run away!

He immediately bent down and got into the crowd, turned around and left, there happened to be a stable near by, he took advantage of the chaos and led a horse out of the distance, the voices faded away, he turned over and jumped on the horse's back, with his legs clamped: "Drive—— "

The horse galloped up quickly and carried him towards the city gate.

The soldier guarding the gate wanted to stop him when he saw this, so he yelled: "Jin Yiwei is doing business, who dares to stop me?"

Seeing that his speed didn't slow down, the soldiers didn't dare to stop him forcefully. Hearing that he called himself Jin Yiwei, the soldiers were afraid that something important would be delayed, so they shouted: "Open the city gate!"

The general on the tower heard it, and came out in doubt: "What's going on?"

The soldier pointed to Meng Changji who was going straight to the gate of the city: "General, that man said he was a member of Jinyiwei and wanted to go out of the city on business, so the humble officer opened the gate."

The general frowned: "Did you check the token?"

The soldier paused for a moment and said in a dazed voice, "No..."

"Dare to open the city gate without you?" The general glared immediately, and slapped him hard on the back of the head: "Don't stop him yet!"

"Yes! Hurry up! Stop him and let him go with a token!"

However, it was too late. The moment the door opened, Meng Changji rushed over with his horse. When someone tried to stop him, he accelerated and ran over. The soldier dodged and rolled on the spot. Ran.

The soldier felt scared after a while, and asked tremblingly, "General, what should we do now?"

"What else can I do? Go and ask the Governor of Jindu what happened in the city."

"Yes."

……

Jin Yiwei's search was fruitless, so he went back and reported it to Chu Wuhen.

Chu Wuhen's eyes narrowed slightly: "Didn't you find anyone?"

"Yes, I caught a few guys and asked, but they didn't know, and said that the shopkeeper was still there."

"Bring people over here." Chu Wuhen stood with his hands behind his back, watching the fire gradually weaken, his cold face reflected the light of the fire, but he looked more and more indifferent.

Xie Shuangge watched the people coming and going, obediently and silently, usually she would not disturb Chu Wuhen when she was busy, she could tell the difference between the serious and the serious.

"Commander Chu is here too." A tired voice sounded behind him.

Chu Wuhen turned his head and looked, it was Lu Suida, Yin of Jindu Prefecture.

He replied: "Lord Lu."

Lu Suida's pair of triangular eyes did not look very friendly, and his cheekbones protruded. He had a slightly mean face. When he looked people up and down, he made people feel very uncomfortable.

Xie Shuangge had met him a few times before, and she didn't feel very good. Especially now, she felt that he seemed a little dissatisfied with Chu Wuhen?

I don't know if it was her delusion.

"Commander Chu wants to arrest people?" Lu Suida obviously heard the conversation he had with his subordinates just now.

Chu Wuhen said indifferently: "Such a big fire almost burned the surrounding area. Naturally, we should check it carefully. If I encounter it, there is no reason to ignore it."

Lu Suida snorted angrily, "But now that I'm here, it's better to leave these trivial matters to me."

Chu Wuhen looked at him inexplicably, not understanding what he was trying to do by making such a fuss.

At this moment, Jin Yiwei has already returned with the guys from the gambling house.

"Sir, people are here."

The guys were a little scared when they saw Shang Chu Wuhen's gaze, and they were even more wary looking at the flying fish suit that was as bright as blood.

"What are your orders, my lord?"

The guy in the lead dared to ask.

Just as Chu Wuhen was about to speak, he suddenly saw the Imperial Forest Army walking over carrying the charred corpse, his expression changed slightly, and he stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute—"

The Imperial Forest Army immediately stopped, "Lord Chu."

Chu Wuhen nodded: "Is this carried out from the fire? Are they all here? No survivors?"

"Yes, a total of 11 people are here, and there are no survivors."

Chu Wuhen stepped forward to take a look at the white cloth, and Xie Shuangge took a sneak peek, and then was shocked by the horror of the corpse: "How did it burn like this? There is no flesh at all? Even if the fire is big, it will take time to burn. Didn't they hide?"

Chu Wuhen's heart moved, and he lifted the white cloths of the eleven corpses one by one. As expected, each one was as black as coke, beyond recognition.

It didn't take long for the fire to be extinguished. The backyard is a big place. Even if the fire is serious, there are still places to hide. How could it burn like this?
Unless...they couldn't move.

Something flashed through Chu Wuhen's mind, his eyes sank, and he suddenly said: "All these corpses are carried to Beizhen Fusi, and these fellows, none of them are allowed to be released, take them all away! You guys What's the shopkeeper's name?"

The man was dumbfounded, and said in a daze, "Meng Changji."

Chu Wuhen said conveniently: "The whole city is sealed off, arrest Meng Changji!"

"Commander Chu, what do you mean?" Lu Suida, who was completely ignored, was furious, "Since I am here, this matter should be handed over to me, and you Jin Yiwei will just get in the way." Now, if you want to arrest people without discussing with this official, is it too disrespectful to this official?"
