Chapter 30
In front of him was the gate of his small courtyard, Meng Liangchen turned to look at the man behind him, and thanked him again.

"Eldest Prince, thank you."

Mu Ze nodded almost invisible: "Take a good rest, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Meng Liangchen nodded, and Mu Ze returned to his own yard after paying respects. Shihong and the others were hurrying back and forth in the yard when they heard Meng Liangchen's voice and hurried out.

"Miss!"

Seeing the worried expressions of several people, Meng Liangchen put away his emotions: "Why are you all up?"

"Miss, is it true? I saw a big fire in the direction of the restaurant." Xiao Shicui asked anxiously.

Meng Liangchen nodded. At this time, she was still not so clear-headed. Even though she had calmed down, the incident happened too suddenly and the loss was too heavy. She couldn't fully accept it for a while.

The few people in the yard fell silent, and Xiao Shicui's tears fell instantly.

"Then what should I do? That's your painstaking effort, miss. Why did it catch fire when it was fine?"

Meng Liangchen was also very upset at this time, Shihong pushed Xiao Shicui, and Shilan pulled her aside.

"Miss, you should go to the house and rest. It's almost dawn. There are still many things waiting for you tomorrow. Only after you have a good rest can you have enough energy to solve things."

Seeing Meng Liangchen's tired face, Shihong dissuaded him distressedly.

Meng Liangchen nodded, walked into his room silently and closed the door, and the little girls looked at the closed door outside and were very worried.

The lady must have suffered a big blow this time. Normally, the lady's face is full of confidence and radiance.

After Meng Liangchen closed the door, she felt that her footsteps suddenly became heavy. She dragged her two legs and walked towards the bed unconsciously. As soon as her legs touched the edge of the bed, she fell down. .

She was lying on the quilt, with half of her face buried in the quilt, and the tears in her eyes couldn't be controlled anymore.

"Are you okay?" The voice next to her ear was distressed, and she spoke slowly, as if she didn't know what to say to persuade her.

Meng Liangchen didn't speak for a long time, she felt very sad and tired at this moment.

After a long time, Meng Liangchen's muffled and suppressed crying came from under the quilt.

"It's all gone, it's all gone..."

The voice next to his ear didn't speak for a long time, and he didn't know what to say to comfort Meng Liangchen.Meng Liangchen cried to his heart's content in the empty room, and the bedding was covered with her tears.

Dawn was about to break, and Shihong heard the sound gradually silence inside, so she opened the door lightly and walked in, poured hot water to wipe her face carefully, and was afraid of waking up Meng Liangchen, who had finally fallen asleep. The wet quilt was slowly pulled out, and a new quilt was put on her body.

When Meng Liangchen woke up again, her eyes were so sore and swollen that she could barely open them.

I don't know how long I cried last night, my eyes must have been swollen from crying.

"you're awake?"

Thinking of the voice next to his ear, he seemed to be worried about Meng Liangchen all night.

Meng Liangchen responded, and closed his eyes again. After a long time, he felt that he had adapted to the light before slowly opening them.

"Miss, are you awake?" Shihong's voice sounded beside the bed.

"What time is it?" Meng Liangchen asked.

"Miss, it's time." Shihong replied in a low voice.

Already this late?

Meng Liangchen was startled, and quickly sat up from the bed, she had to go to the restaurant to have a look.

"Why didn't you call me?"

Seeing that Meng Liangchen was in a hurry to put on her shoes, Shihong quickly brought her the clothes she was going to wear.

"Both the prince and the master came here this morning, and they said they were not allowed to call you, and asked you to sleep more."

Meng Liangchen's movements paused, and she couldn't tell what it was like. She put on her shoes, got up, took the clothes and put them on one by one, and then walked quickly towards the outside.

"Is the car ready?"

"It's ready, it's just outside the door." Shihong followed closely behind her.

When Meng Liangchen hurriedly washed up and went outside the restaurant, he found that there were many people in the surrounding streets, pointing at the "gathering diners" and talking about it, but no one dared to stay here.

As he got closer, Meng Liangchen found a circle of officers and soldiers in special costumes around the burnt-out restaurant, and the broken bricks and tiles inside were being cleaned up in an orderly manner. Mu Ze and Cheng Yuan were standing beside talking about something.

Meng Liangchen walked up to Mu Ze and gave him a courtesy.

"My lord."

Seeing Meng Liangchen coming, Mu Ze's eyes stayed on her face for a moment. The little girl's eyes were a little red and swollen, obviously she had cried, but her face looked good. Meng Liangchen caused too much trouble.

Mu Ze looked away: "Cheng Yuan, tell her what you found."

Cheng Yuan responded, bowed to Meng Liangchen, and said, "Miss Meng, after careful investigation by our people, it is confirmed that the fire in the restaurant was not an accident."

In fact, Meng Liangchen had already had a premonition: "Master Cheng, did you find any useful information?"

Cheng Yuan handed a fire bag to Meng Liangchen: "This fire bag was found in a corner of the street, and there are many dried firewood and broken branches in the depths of that street, and an oil barrel was also found, all of which are very suspicious."

Meng Liangchen brought the Huozhe over, and frowned slightly, but nothing could be seen.

Seeing Meng Liangchen frowning, Cheng Yuan continued, "This kind of fire pocket is very cheap and can only be used once. Only people living in poverty in central Beijing can use it, and they don't belong to this troubled neighborhood."

The living circles in central Beijing are also divided into three, six, and nine grades. People with relatively difficult lives live in places outside the capital, and generally do not come to the bustling area.

The scope is narrowed, and the target is easier to lock, but it is still a very difficult thing.

Mu Ze watched Meng Liangchen's expression become lonely, and said to Cheng Yuan, "I will get the result within ten days."

Cheng Yuan complied under the pressure, and Meng Liangchen felt a little sorry.

"The ten days are too tight, and now there are no strong clues, so it's hard to find."

Cheng Yuan hurried back: "Don't worry, Ms. Meng, this is Cheng's responsibility, and I will give you a satisfactory answer within ten days."

After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, he turned and left. Meng Liangchen looked at the restaurant in front of him that was still a mess after being burned down last night. At this time, most of the garbage had already been taken away, and he felt mixed feelings.

"Thank you, First Prince."

Her voice was a little weak, and Mu Ze seemed to have lost his spirit when he looked at her little face.

"Is this depressed?"

Mu Ze's words made Meng Liangchen's heart shiver, yes, she can't be depressed yet, this is just a small setback!

 There are some slight changes in Chapter 29. Friends who have read it can go to see it again. The changes are not major and will not affect the subsequent development of the plot.
