After reading Si Tiantai's records, Li Guan immediately packed up and prepared to go to Anyifang to re-survey the scene.As soon as he was about to go out, a servant came to report that his maidservant had brought something.After a while, a small oval face poked in from the door, smiling.

"Si Zhi."

"How did you come?"

Bai Sanxiu raised the food box and said: "The mutton I just bought in the morning is very fresh, so I made the water bowl mutton. Mr. Murong said that you often forget your meal order, so I just sent it over."

"What time is it?"

"It's past noon."

Don't talk about it, I don't think so, but when I talked about the time, Li Quan really felt a little hungry, so he cleared an empty table and asked Bai Sanxiu to set the plate.In addition to water basin mutton, she also made Hubing and steamed chestnut rice.He knew that she must not have eaten either, so the two of them ate lunch together at the small table.After eating, Bai Sanxiu put away the dishes, and Li Quan also prepared his horse to set off, when he suddenly remembered something.

"How did you come?"

"Walk. Ten Niang vomited to death when I just took those things to eat and drink. The little donkey won't let me take it away."

Bai Sanxiu couldn't walk through the imperial city, so he could only go around the outer part of the imperial city from Yongchang Square to Dali Temple, which was a long journey.Li Quan couldn't bear to let her go back, so he said, "Get on the horse, I'll take you back."

"Hey, Si Zhi is going out?"

"I'm going to visit Anyi Square."

"Is it the fire case? Then go directly to Anyifang, so as not to waste your time."

Li Quan thought about it for a while, so he took Bai Sanxiu to Le Zhai.

Bai Sanxiu was not used to riding Li Quan's tall horse, and she almost wore her skirt when she got off the horse.After she jumped off the horse, Li Quan's attention had already turned to the ruined Le Mansion.Bai Sanxiu didn't think there was anything wrong, and tied the horse consciously.After all, as a master and servant, it would be great if he was willing to ride with her to see her off.

Although several days have passed since the incident and the culprit has already arrived, Lejia is still immersed in grief. They only took away some daily necessities and have not yet sent people to clean up the ruins.Therefore, the entire house remains basically as it was at the time of the incident.

The two of them entered the courtyard, only to see the charred wood and black walls, and broken bricks and tiles on the ground, faithfully showing the horror of the fire that night.

Li Quan walked around Le Zhai for a while, and he already knew it in his heart.He asked the little cook who was following behind him: "If you were to judge this scene, what do you think is more like a fire?"

Bai Sanxiu raised her eyebrows and thought for a while, then looked around, and then said uncertainly: "This is the main house."

"why?"

"I can't explain the reasons, but I feel that the area is scorched black and collapsed severely. Although the outer courtyard has been burned, it still looks much better."

What she said was exactly what Li Guan thought in his heart.And based on his experience, it is even possible to further locate the fire near the study.Now that Qian Yigua has confessed to all the crimes, why did he lie about the location of the arson?
Unless the arson point will overturn Qian Yigua's own rhetoric and expose his true intentions.He insisted that he had set the fire in the stables and had no intention of hurting anyone, and if he had in fact set the fire in the study, it would have been hard to say he hadn't done it on purpose.

But what is the relationship between a charlatan who uses fortune-telling and fortune-telling, and Wailang, a member of the ancestral hall?
-

That night.

Li Quan was looking through the official documents handled by Le Yan borrowed from the Temple Department, and at the same time sent someone to find a way to investigate Qian Yigua's life experience.The servant suddenly came to report that it was the Le family who came to Dali Temple for help.

"Li Sizhi, our house is haunted!"
