Chapter 595

"The three of them want to compensate you for the loss of your reputation, so Yingtian Mansion went to check the property, and then found that the source of the property was suspicious. You know, it's best to make a fuss about this kind of thing. Except for the private property of the female family members, the rest of the family property and salary income are not high. equal."

"Yesterday morning, the censor accused the three of them of corruption, bribery and dereliction of duty. The time, place, and reason were clearly stated, as if they had known about these things for a long time but had not said them."

"The sage allowed them to resign to save them the last decency, but looking at it now, it's hard to say whether they will go to jail or not."

"It's clear that you beat the dog in the water. This will implicate many old disciples involved in it, those who lost their official positions, and those who were relegated. Think about how many new seats can be freed up. There are so many people waiting to be filled in the hands of the official department, and they will start fighting again. head."

"It's only one day, that's it?" Gu Yun was speechless, "It's developing so fast."

"Nonsense, it's time, everyone can see that in your case, the sage has made it clear to you, Bai Kou has stabbed so many people to save you, who will say her? A euphemism hints that you should take care of her." There's nothing to restrain Bai Kou, it's just pampering her to continue next time."

"That's right, everyone in the government school said that Bai Kou was loyal to you, no one said she was cruel, and no one scolded her."

"Someone must have said a few harsh words in private, but they are more envious, act decisively, and really dare to work hard."

"It's useless to be envious, she is my girl." Gu Yun shook his head with a proud face.

They chatted happily, Bai Kou just came back at this time, showed his face in the side room, greeted these young masters, and especially congratulated Gong Zhangji who was about to get married this month.

The main purpose of Gong Changji's trip here is to invite Brother Gu Yun to have a wedding at that time, but Gu Yun is afraid to ask him to go now, he just promised to have a cup of tea and watch the wedding After the ceremony, they will leave without drinking, and the owed wine will be saved until the couple formally move into the new house in the future to make up for it.

This is also reasonable, Gong Changji agreed, turned around and booed with everyone, and asked Bai Kou to cook some good dishes for lunch, Bai Kou reported the names of a few dishes with a smile, seeing that everyone had no objections, so he went back to the room first. Clothes, ready to go to the kitchenette to prepare lunch.

Bai Kou just entered the back yard through the corner door, and Xiao Yezi rushed in from the front yard in a hurry, went straight to the ear room, and called young master anxiously through the bamboo curtain on the door.

Gu Yun heard that her voice was wrong, so he hurriedly called her in to talk.

"What's the matter? Take your breath and talk."

"Master, Wangjiang Tower was set on fire."

"What?!" The boys all stood up immediately, "Where is the messenger? What did he say?"

"The person who reported it was the man of Wangjiang Building. He said that the fire started in the middle of the night. The watchman was injured. The first floor was burnt out. Fortunately, everything above the second floor is fine, but it's hard to say whether the whole house is still safe." Xiao Ye Zi took a deep breath and finished speaking without taking a breath.

"Go to the back and ask Bai Kou to change into the riding clothes. We will go to Wangjiang Tower right away. We won't come back for lunch at noon. Tell someone to prepare the horse outside the gate, and ask the guy from Wangjiang Tower to wait for us there."

"Yes, young master." Xiao Ye Zi lifted the curtain and left.

"Are you interested in coming with me?" Gu Yun looked at his brothers.

"go with!"

"you still need to ask?!"

"Go and change quickly, we'll wait for you."

Gu Yun immediately went back to his bedroom, Feihua and Miao'er helped him change his clothes, after a while Bai Kou ran in neatly, Gu Yun sent the two girls away, and gave Bai Kou the key to open the drawer to get some banknotes .

"I was reminded by Shi Tianmin to pay attention to the safety of Wangjiang Tower a few days ago. As a result, I had an accident first and forgot about Wangjiang Tower. Now that I have just recovered, something happened to Wangjiang Tower. The timing is too perfect." Gu Standing beside Bai Kou, Yun said in a low voice while watching her take the money.

"The old owner of Wangjianglou has some connections with the black market. We will talk about what happened after we meet him. I don't know if the arsonist was caught on the spot. If he escapes, he will just make a secret in the black market. people find out."

"Is it safe to do this through the black market?"

"Finding the arsonist and the instigator behind it is worth spending money on. There are black market news channels in the black market. Whether the arsonist is out of personal hatred or instigated by others, there will definitely be clues." Bai Kou said, I counted seven or eight 100 taels of silver bills and divided them into two stacks. One thick stack was used as condolence money for the old club, and the thin stack was reserved for hidden flowers.

"Okay, let's go now."

Bai Kou quickly locked the drawer and put the key away, and the two went out to meet Gong Zhangji and the others outside. They didn't bother to ask the elders to resign, and left in a hurry, only the maids spoke on their behalf.

So the masters on the side of the Changfang became worried again, and the elder immediately sent his men to Yingtian Mansion to inquire about the news.

The man who came to report the news from Wangjiang Tower hired a car, and the speed of the carriage was naturally not as fast as that of a horse, so a guard took him to ride together, and the group of people immediately set off on the horse, and they finally arrived after running for almost two sticks of incense. Outside Wangjiang Tower.

The scene was still in a mess, with traces of the fire everywhere. The outer walls and the inside of the first floor were burnt black, and the furniture inside had been turned into charcoal. The floors of the corridors on the second floor collapsed a lot. Fortunately, the fire did not continue to spread, and the fire was extinguished in time, otherwise the whole building would collapse, and the neighbors would surely suffer.

"It doesn't look like a personal enmity between a guy and an outsider. Didn't we, Gu Yun, just rob the business of a black market merchant a while ago? Eighty percent of them became angry with embarrassment and came here specifically for the Wangjiang Tower. It was burned like this, and the fire was poured on it." Is it oil?" Gong Zhangji looked inside and out, and murmured with his brothers.

Seeing that Gu Yun was coming, the old club hurried up to greet him, and went to a secluded place to talk with Gu Yun, but Bai Koo dragged the guy who reported the letter and walked into the scene to look around. Seeing this, the young masters were curious and followed in one after another. The guards were waiting outside.

"Bai Kou, do you know something about the investigation of the fire scene?" Seeing that Bai Kou's gaze didn't look like an outsider's blind eye, Gong Zhangji leaned forward and asked.

"To be honest, I don't really understand."

Everyone who was expecting her to say something was overwhelmed, "...you are sincere."

"Then what are you looking for?"

"Finding the fire point is the starting point of the fire. If a good restaurant burns like this, you must know where the fire started from. It stands to reason that all the candles are extinguished after closing at night, and the first floor is only a hall for people to walk around. , there are only some decorations and simple furniture, and these items can at most play the role of firewood in a fire, but there must be a source of fire."

As a catering worker, fire safety awareness and daily inspections are the most important thing. As a professional who has been working in the catering industry in his previous life, Bai Kou actually knows this very well, but now he must keep a low profile and restrain himself, and there is no need to show it Treat yourself as if you are omniscient.
