Chapter 248 The Arsonist
Ting Lan looked at the ruins of the silk storehouse in front of her, and then at Linglong, who was unharmed, and asked in puzzlement, "Linglong, the fire is so fierce this time, how did you escape?"

Linglong smiled and said vaguely: "I was lucky. I found the flames at the first time. Before the fire started, I pulled two pieces of satin to make a rope. Using the momentum of the fall, I slid down from the third floor."

Ting Lan nodded and said, "So that's the case."

Seeing that Linglong was fine, she turned her eyes and glared at Zhang Quan who was in charge of the silk warehouse: "You are so careless in managing a huge silk warehouse. If something happens to the imperial concubine today, ten lives are not enough to pay for it."

Zhang Quan knelt on the ground, frightened and kowtowed: "Empress Minghui forgives the sin, it's because the servants were not careful enough to disturb the imperial concubine, but the person who set the fire has been found and is waiting to be punished."

The silk warehouse has been established for hundreds of years, and there has never been a fire. It happened that Linglong came here to catch fire, and it burned so badly. If it wasn't deliberately set on fire, I wouldn't believe it.

Ting Lan and Linglong had long thought that someone set the fire on purpose, either out of revenge or to prevent her from taking the post.

However, the silk warehouse stores a large number of silk products, and the source of fire is the most taboo. It is not easy to set fire here. They originally wanted to investigate and find out the person who set the fire. How could they ever think about that person? It came out so quickly.

Linglong and Ting Lan looked at each other, they both felt that this matter was not that simple.

Ting Lan cleared her throat: "Bring it up, the Ai family wants to see who dares to set the fire?"

Hearing this, Zhang Quan quickly turned a woman in shabby palace maid clothes over.

Linglong shouted: "If you want to set fire to Bengong, I want to see what you mean, you have such a good ability, raise your head."

The man kept twisting and struggling, but refused to raise his head.

Linglong glanced at Xiao Fuzi.

Xiao Fuzi understood, and slapped the back of the woman's neck with her palm.

The woman couldn't bear the pain, so she couldn't help raising her head, revealing a pale face.

This face does not look very old, but the brows and eyes are full of the misery of being ravaged by others, which makes her appear old prematurely when she is still in her youth, and the black hair all over her head cannot be hidden inside, like weeds growing from life white hair.

Linglong narrowed her eyes slightly, recognized her at a glance, and sneered, "Ah? It's you."

Both Nanny Rong and Xiao Fuzi were taken aback: "What, this person is Ajiao, this...how is it possible..."

In their memory, Ah Rong was an ambitious, evil-minded, but very young and beautiful person, but this person in front of him had a haggard and miserable face, white hair that couldn't be concealed by blue hair, how could he look like a young girl?
Linglong didn't admit her mistake, this person was Ajiao.

Ever since she was betrothed to Sun Bin by Linglong, her life has fallen into an endless abyss of darkness. During the day, she is a lowly maid who is beaten, scolded and humiliated by others, and at night she is a tool for Sun Bin to vent his perverted desires. Life is worse than death.

Less than two years later, she was tortured by Sun Bin until she looked like a 20-year-old woman despite being 40 years old. Even Linglong almost couldn't recognize her.

Linglong said: "She is Ah Yao, I will not mistake someone, this lowly hoof is ungrateful to the master, even if it turns into ashes, I will recognize her."
