Concubine's three acres of pastoral garden

Chapter 115 Set fire (5)
Seeing that the goal was achieved, Xianglai smiled lightly, she didn't believe that a few long-term workers who had been fooled by Xu Zongde could be devoted to him to the end.Seeing that this person was bluffed, he lowered his voice and said, "Okay, tell me, if you behave well, I will forgive you as appropriate!"

Seeing that the man wanted to confess, Fan Limin quickly shouted: "Wei Jiang! You can't admit it, she's lying to you, and she won't let you go if you tell me..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xu Che slapped his face with a big mouth, which made his eyes stare, and he fell to the ground in a daze.

The long-term worker named Wei Jiang knelt in front of Xianglai and asked, "Boss, if I tell everything, can you let me go? I still have parents to take care of at home, so I really can't go to jail!"

Xiang Lai said: "It depends on whether what you say is worth letting you go, if it's worth I will let you go back!"

"Okay, I said!"

Wei Jiang said: "Actually, I am also from Hengjiuzhuang. Fan Limin used to be our little steward. He was from the same town as the former Hengjiuzhuang steward. When the former Hengyuan farm stewards withdrew, he originally wanted to go with them. He left, but he didn’t leave later for some reason. This time he went to do odd jobs in the courtyard of the owner’s house, but he actually gave a gift to Steward Jiu. He came back to Heng Jiuzhuang to find me at noon yesterday, and asked me to do something for him. If you pay me ten taels of silver, I will, I will..."

Xianglai said: "It's okay, let's continue."

Wei Jiang said again: "He said that the master is not good to these people below, he should teach me a lesson, let him set fire to scare the master with me, and let me go to Hengwu Village to find two people, come after dark."

"Who are those two people?" Xiang Lai asked.

Wei Jiang said: "One is Zhou Quansheng and the other is Huang Ping."

Xianglai turned to ask the steward of Hengwu Village, "Do you have these two people in your village?"

The steward of Hengwu Village broke out in cold sweat and said, "Yes, yes."

Xiang Lai said: "Immediately go back with Shen Che and bring these two to me!"

"Yes Yes!"

The steward of Hengwuzhuang repeatedly agreed and left the house with Xu Che.

Xianglai asked Wei Jiang again, "Then why did the two of them run away after setting the fire, while you and Fan Limin stayed here?"

Wei Jiang said: "I originally wanted to come, but I was a fool at that time. Seeing that Fan Limin would not leave, I was worried that he would stay alone, so I accompanied him to watch nearby, but I didn't expect to be caught by Master Shen and the others." .”

Xiang Lai said: "It's stupid enough, you are still talking about loyalty with this kind of person, but you were talking about loyalty back then, why don't you talk about loyalty now, instead you say everything?"

Wei Jiang said, "I, I'm not disrespectful, I'm afraid... Didn't I leave after setting off the fire? I watched with Fan Limin and listened to what he said. It doesn't matter if it's the owner or that little boy, as long as he burns to death." One is enough, and only then did I realize that he was not just trying to scare his boss, he really wanted to kill people! I, I was terrified, my family has been farming for generations, and I have never done such an outrageous thing!"

Xianglai felt a chill in his heart when he heard it. It turned out that the fire was not only aimed at himself, but Luo Jinxing was included in it. His intentions were so vicious. If he burned himself to death, the tree would fall and the monkeys would scatter; I can't get rid of it even if I want to, Luo Jinxing's family will definitely tear him alive, and the end will be even more miserable!
Thinking of this, he turned his eyes to Fan Limin on the ground and said, "What else do you have to say?!"

Fan Limin was still talking stiffly there, tilting his swollen mouth from Xu Che's beating and said stubbornly: "He's talking nonsense! He's framing!"

Xianglai sneered and said, "Hmph, whether to frame or not, we'll know when those two people are arrested!"

Then he turned his head to look at Luo Jinxing, and said, "Jinxing, what do you think about this matter?"

Luo Jinxing has been listening quietly by the side. After listening and listening, he did not expect that these people would actually plot against him. He sat there and pursed his lips coldly, but his voice was very calm, and said: "You ask Yours, talk about it after you finish asking."

At this time, Peng Changfu suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, and shouted: "Boss, I was wrong! I was obsessed with money and coveted Fan Limin's money, which caused so much trouble to my boss! I, I handed over..."

As he spoke, he took out a bank note from his sleeve, and presented it with both hands in fear.

Xianglai took it and shook it away, looked at it, and said, "It's really generous, even 100 taels of silver!"

As she said that, she suddenly slapped the silver ticket on the table and shouted: "You just hand in the silver ticket and you're fine! In order to work as a handyman in my yard, I spent 100 taels of silver to take care of you. You don't even need to think about it. You actually took the money just like that, and even kept lying until just now, if Wei Jiang didn’t tell you, you would have denied it until the end!”

Peng Changfu turned pale with fright, kowtowed again and again, and said, "Master, please forgive me! I, I was just greedy for some money, and I didn't participate in the arson at all!"

Xianglai said: "If you don't participate in the arson, you will be charged with cover-up and corruption! Come on, tie him up for me first, and deal with it when the matter is over!"

After Xu Che left, the matter of tying up and detaining people could only be done by Dachang and Shunzi. The two found thick hemp ropes to tie Peng Changfu tightly, and then put them aside to wait.

Seeing that Wei Jiang was still kneeling there, Xianglai said, "Get up, you were foolish for being bought and used by Fan Limin. I'm not someone who doesn't know right and wrong. Since you've said everything, help me find someone else. I won’t embarrass you anymore, stand behind me first, and stay in my yard to do things in the future, so as not to be retaliated against you!”

Wei Jiang originally thought that as long as he didn't settle the lawsuit, it would be fine, but he didn't expect Xianglai to be so reasonable, not only exonerated him on the spot, but also helped him think about whether he would be retaliated against, he was so grateful, he kept getting up and down Said: "Thank you master, thank you master! The villain will definitely do his best for the master in the future, and don't dare to be half-hearted!"

Among all the villages, Hengjiuzhuang is the closest to the Zongzhuang, but Hengwuzhuang is much farther away. Although Xu Che went to arrest people quickly, he didn't come back until almost noon.

When he came back, Xianglai had already had Fan Limin tied up, gagged and taken to the wing, otherwise he might shout something, and those two would deny it like him.

Zhou Quansheng and Huang Ping didn't know that Fan Limin and Wei Jiang had been arrested, but the manager was called to the Zongzhuang early this morning, and they knew it must be because of the arson.

When they came here and saw Wei Jiang standing behind Xianglai, the hearts of the two people were cold at that time, knowing that they must have been betrayed.

Seeing the two men approaching her tremblingly, Xianglai asked sullenly, "Are you Zhou Quansheng and Huang Ping?"

One of the two quickly replied: "Yes, the villain is Zhou Quansheng."

The other also said: "It's Huang Ping, I don't know why the master called the villain here?"

"What's up?!"
