Cheng Li's eyes moved away from the file and moved inch by inch to the staff's faces.

The deliberately soft voice sounded a bit weird in the flickering candlelight nearby, "If you want to do it, make it big and burn down the archives warehouse."

The look of the staff member changed.

"My lord, you must not do this. This will lead to a more stringent investigation by the court, and then we will be more easily exposed!"

"By just burning these files, we will be targeted more easily."

"You think, there are so many corrupt people in Liuzhou. As long as we burn down the entire warehouse, we may not be the ones targeted. After all, my current reputation is that of a benevolent official. They can't let go of those people who the people are clamoring for investigation." Regardless of checking me first.”

"In this way, we can use this time difference to close the tail more cleanly."

When the staff heard this, they were a little shaken.

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

"Okay, get one!"

When the two of them made up their mind, a sudden sound sounded outside the house. Cheng Li looked at the door keenly, "Who!"

The staff rushed over and opened the door almost at the same time. Outside the door was Cheng Sitian. At this moment, she didn't look like a young lady at all. She was just panic-stricken. After being pulled in, she suddenly came back. god.

"Dad, are you really going to do that? If you get caught, will it be the end of us?"

She also wanted to contact Li Wenjin, wanted to win his love, and crush Xu Zhiyan, the person who had always stepped on her since they met, under the soles of her feet, but everything was stolen before she could take action. The bad news I heard made me dizzy.

Cheng Li glanced at her familiar amiable look and looked at her coldly.

"Sitian, you just need to remember that you haven't heard or seen anything today."

How could Cheng Sitian be willing to be the one kept in the dark, "Dad, this matter concerns the whole family. I really don't know, just forget it. But I know you still ask me to pretend not to know, how could I possibly do it!"

Seeing her not retreating, Cheng Li suddenly raised his hand and slapped her.

The force was not heavy this time, but the sound was loud. She had never been treated like this by him. Cheng Sitian tilted her head and covered her face. Her eyes widened in shock. The tip of her nose slowly felt sour, and a teardrop slipped from the corner of her eye. .

"You hit me? I didn't do anything, I just thought I couldn't do it without knowing it and you hit me?"

Cheng Sitian could no longer maintain her rationality. After finishing speaking, she ran out without waiting for Chengli to speak. Chengli rubbed the bridge of his nose and called to his staff, "Stop chasing her. Find a few reliable people immediately and bring Xinruan to arrest them." Mother and daughter will be sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs first."

"They used to live there often. This time it's not too sudden. It's safer than staying here. If the plan fails in the end, don't worry about me and send them away from Liuzhou first. The farther away the better."

Cheng Li never fights an unprepared battle, but this time he was on the edge of the knife and he had to protect his wife and daughter.

The staff responded heavily.

……

A few days later, when Liuzhou government officials were taking a break, something went wrong in the house. From a small fire that no one knew about, to a fire that filled the sky with thick smoke, it only took less than a quarter of an hour.

No matter what they were doing, the people all stopped and looked at the thick smoke. The wind brought heat waves. Some people reacted and screamed, "The water is leaking! The water is leaking!!"

Someone broke the silence, and others suddenly woke up. Those holding buckets took buckets, and those holding water received water. What's more, some even rushed up with a ladle in a panic. Before they even got close, they were pinned down.

"Why are you joining in the fun with a water ladle? Go and stay in a safe place!" The man who spoke was more than eight feet tall and was dragging a large bucket in his hand. After finishing speaking, he directly dragged the bucket forward, and with others One person worked together to lift the bucket and throw it out, and several clusters of smaller flames were extinguished directly.

Then water was poured on the flames from all directions.

However, the fire was too strong. In a short period of time, this little water had no effect at all. When Xu Zhiyan came with Li Wenjin and the others, the situation she saw was still very critical.

She looked around quickly.

"The government office cannot be saved. Let's surround it with sand and earth to prevent the fire from spreading!"

Fortunately, there are not many residential buildings around the government office, otherwise there would have been countless casualties this time.

Li Wenjin admitted her method and ordered the guards to move the silt quickly. Fortunately, there was a house built not far away and the silt was stored. Unfortunately, the amount was not large, and it was only enough to block the side of the fire that was the strongest.

Fortunately, the remaining sediment came quickly, and the sediment blocking circle around the official residence was completed.

At first, the people didn't know the meaning of what they did, but they suddenly realized it when they saw the flames blocked in the circle of sand.

Several people who were close to Xu Zhiyan knew that it was Nisha who proposed this method, and immediately praised her enthusiastically, "Miss, you are really amazing. If it weren't for you, this whole place would have been burned. If that were the case, it would I don’t know how many people are going to die!”

"Yes, yes, thanks to this lady!"

Just like this, everyone present knew that all this was Xu Zhiyan's credit. All kinds of compliments made her blush and wave her hands.

"No, no, I just came up with an idea, and Brother Wen Jin is responsible for taking action. If he hadn't chosen to believe me and implement it as soon as possible, it would be useless for me to have an idea."

[Oh my God, how can everyone be so enthusiastic? It makes me so nervous! 】

Xu Zhiyan screamed like a groundhog in her heart.

Li Wenjin, who was closest to her, felt pain in her eardrums due to the scream. Her eardrums moved and she raised her hand to rub it. When she lowered her hand, it rested on her shoulder and rubbed it comfortingly.

"Okay everyone, Miss Xu is shy by nature and is not used to such an atmosphere. Why don't you go check on the fire first?"

This sentence pointed out the most important thing at the moment. Everyone immediately focused their attention on the fire field again. Even if there was sand and sand around it, protection was put in place. But who can guarantee that the fire will not spread at all? You still have to pay attention. OK.

Xu Zhiyan took this opportunity and pulled Li Wenjin through the cracks to a place with few people before slowing down, patting her chest in an exaggerated manner and letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Sure enough, I still can't stand too many people looking at me."

Li Wenjin smiled and smoothed her hair.

"You, how could you not be used to being looked at?"

[No matter who is almost strangled to death when he is born, or who has to be constantly on guard against accidental death as he grows up, he will not like to be watched, because it means that his probability of death is higher. 】

Xu Zhiyan thought so, but didn't know how to say it. She curled her lips and told a lie casually.

"Oh, if you're not used to it, you're just not used to it. There's no reason why."

"Come on, let's go find out more about this fire. I always feel that something is wrong."
