A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 229 Of course I have to testify for him

The wine container is usually porcelain, which is not easily burned to ashes like wood.And the copper lock that locks the door is even less likely to be burned.

So if there are these two things, there is a high chance that they can be found in the ruins.

As long as it is found, it is enough to prove that when the fire broke out, the pharmacy was indeed poured with alcohol, and Meng Yan was indeed locked inside.

Then the purpose of setting fire was not to burn down Xu's house, but to burn Meng Yan to death.

In the end, the officials found something and hurriedly asked the chief envoy to take a look.

Several officials dug out some dark objects from the ruins, but it was not difficult to recognize that they were smashed porcelain pieces.

The official said: "This must be the wine jar."

"My lord! A lock has been found here!"

The lock was still very hot, so the official took it out with a wooden branch, wrapped it in his sleeve and showed it to the chief envoy.There were a total of six doors in the pharmacy, three of which were locked, and the remaining two were subsequently found.

The chief minister's face was gloomy, he turned to look at Xu Mingyou, and shouted: "The evidence is so strong, what else do you have to say!"

When the officials were looking for evidence, Xu Mingyou gradually realized that things might have changed.

At first he really thought it was Meng Yan who set fire to his house.Unexpectedly, the person who set the fire was someone else, and the purpose was to burn Meng Yan to death.

In order to burn this woman to death, he set fire to his house. Xu Mingyou is still suspected of being the attempted murderer, so of course he is very angry.

When the official came to detain him, Xu Mingyou said: "My lord, I don't know anything about this matter, please be aware! There are still my medicinal materials for this year and next year in the pharmacy, which are expensive, and I will never Set fire here! The fire is so big that it burns down my house, the gain outweighs the loss.”

This time Xu Mingyou didn't lose 01:30 points.

The Xu family's mansion was expanded into what it is today through the Xu family's painstaking efforts from generation to generation, and it turned out to be scorched earth.He was so angry that he wanted to kill.

The chief envoy said: "It's not you, so who are you talking about?"

The pharmacy was guarded before, Xu Mingyou remembered it now, and ordered someone to escort the guards here.

Several servants of Xu's family who were guarding the pharmacy knelt on the ground shiveringly. At first, they looked at Xu Mingyou from time to time, trembling and evasive. It was easy to suspect that they were instructed by Xu Mingyou.

Xu Mingyou called someone to come and punish these people, saying: "Beat them until they explain clearly."

Seeing that Xu Mingyou was serious, several servants dared to be ambiguous, and immediately pointed out: "Eldest son, it's them, they sent the little ones away! It's none of the little ones' business!"

And everyone looked in the direction of the identification, and they were two of the group of followers behind Xu Mingyou.

These attendants have always only obeyed Xu Mingyou's orders, so the servants of the Xu family thought it was Xu Mingyou's intention at first, so they kept being vague.

Now Xu Mingyou looked back at his followers, his expression was a little more terrifying than before.

The two attendants who were identified by the servants turned pale and knelt on the ground on the spot.

Xu Mingyou asked: "Who told you to do this?"

The entourage responded in a low voice: "This subordinate just wants to share the worries of the eldest son."

Xu Mingyou said: "I'll ask again, who is it?"

The entourage said: "This subordinate is good at making claims, and this subordinate is willing to apologize with death!"

But Xu Mingyou didn't order the two people to be killed for a long time, but bowed to the chief minister and said: "My lord, the two people who set the fire will be handed over to your lord, and they will be interrogated by your lord. If it is found that there is a third person behind them." Instigated by others, I am willing to fully cooperate.”

The chief envoy looked at Xu Mingyou's attitude, as if he really didn't know about it.

However, before the officials stepped forward to take the two of them, they knelt on the ground, and the viscous liquid leaked out from the corner of their mouths, silently.

The officer raised their heads to check for breath, and said in surprise, "My lord, they committed suicide."

The chief envoy looked at Xu Mingyou suspiciously, and said, "How do you explain this?"

Without waiting for Xu Mingyou to answer, Meng Yan said suddenly: "Forget it, maybe Mr. Xu really doesn't know. The person I cultivated so hard, but listened to other people's instructions, set fire in his backyard, so many things were burned. If it’s gone, the Eldest Young Master will also suffer a lot.”

Her voice was hoarse, and her throat hurt every time she said a word.

But she still had to say, "There are indeed a lot of good medicinal materials in this pharmacy, which are very valuable. If Mr. Xu really wanted me to die, he would definitely not choose this place. It should not be in his own house." Do such a dangerous thing. I just don’t know who wants me to die so much, does the eldest son know?”

Xu Shenfang heard the words and said: "Boss Xu is a businessman, and what he values ​​is profit and loss. It is really impossible to do such a thing that is harmful to himself." Unless his brain is bitten by a dog.

Of course Meng Yan wanted to testify for him, otherwise even if he was taken away by the government and no one was killed tonight, he would not be guilty of death.On the contrary, two of his followers committed suicide in fear of crime, and there is no clear evidence to prove that he ordered everything.

It's better to leave him to clean up the mess, presumably he is also full of evil fire, waiting to vent.Even if the government doesn't continue to pursue this matter, he himself will pursue it to the end.

Xu Chenfang understood what Meng Yan meant when she opened her mouth, and stood on the same side with her.It's fun to let them bite each other by themselves.

But the chief envoy began to wipe his sweat again, mainly because Yin Heng didn't say anything, and the chief envoy didn't know whether this person should be arrested or not.

He felt that what the quasi-wangfei said was reasonable, but what if he went along with the quasi-wangfei and went against the prince's wishes?

Fortunately, Meng Yan stretched out his hand to hold Yin Heng's hand, which seemed to relieve his coldness.

Yin Heng looked at Xu Mingyou, and then said calmly, "Ah Nai said forget it, let's forget it."

Behind the bushes not far away, Meng Jianjia looked at this scene, his legs were almost weak, and he couldn't even stand steadily, and slowly slid to sit on the ground.

Her face was pale, and she thought that the chief envoy had brought Xu Mingyou back to the government, and she would still have a chance to escape from Xu's house, but Meng Yan actually testified for Xu Mingyou, and in the end the two dead followers were deemed as good works The arsonist who advocated, so Xu Mingyou didn't have to be taken to the government.

But will Xu Mingyou let it go?

The reason why the two followers chose to commit suicide was because they knew that self-destruction was the best way for them to die.

Xu Mingyou hates the betrayal of the people around him the most. If they don't commit suicide, their fate will be worse than death.

In another hour or two, it will be dawn soon, and the affairs of the Xu family will gradually come to an end.The two arsonists were dead, so it was punishment.

Yin Heng and Xu Shenfang took Meng Yan and Hou Bugui home together, the chief envoy wanted to send some officials to escort them, but Yin Heng refused.
