Lord, the princess is beautiful and fierce

Chapter 233

Chapter 233

The fire burned all night, and it was too late for the surrounding residents to put out the fire. In addition, the wind was strong at night in the northwest, and it spread in the blink of an eye. All the surrounding families suffered, including Wei Congxi's family. At the downwind vent, the courtyard was on fire in the blink of an eye.

That night, County Magistrate Chen was woken up from his quilt, only then did he know that Yuanshan Town was on fire, he put on his clothes and hurried out, and after a night of directing, he finally put out the fire.

The entire street, except for the one at the end of the street, was burned. Fortunately, everyone found it in time and there were not many casualties.

County Magistrate Chen also quickly found the source of the fire, which was Lao Zhong's house. Combined with the investigation of the neighbors' reactions, Chen County Magistrate concluded that because Li was dissatisfied with Lao Zhong for bringing Widow Zhang into the house, he set fire to Widow Zhang and Lao Zhong. Zhong, and Widow Zhang's son Qiusheng, as for Zhong Xiuling...

During the visit, the police discovered that Zhong Xiuling had mentioned to someone that she was going to Lanjing to join her mother's old master.

County magistrate Chen thought that Li was dissatisfied with Lao Zhong and resentful, and her daughter had been arranged properly, so she killed Lao Zhong and Widow Zhang.

This is almost a certainty. The next thing he has to do is to appease the dead and injured people.

At this time, Zhang Yingtian, the head of the police, came over with a list of casualties. County magistrate Chen stared at one of the names, his pupils dilated, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"My lord, what's the matter with you?" Zhang Yingtian looked at him puzzled.

County magistrate Chen wiped off his cold sweat, and his hair turned gray in an instant. He saw Shi Luo on the death list.

Shi Luo was dead, while Wei Congxi was injured and unconscious.

County magistrate Chen didn't know what to do for a while, but the hand holding the list trembled slightly.

"grown ups?"

Zhang Yingtian called out again.

County magistrate Chen came back to his senses and said, "Let's go, I'll go and see these people."

Zhang Yingtian nodded.

The injured were all placed in medical clinics. The size of Yuanshan Town was no less than a county, and there were three medical clinics. Even so, they were still overcrowded. Wei Congxi was in a medical clinic called Zhengdedu.

When County Magistrate Chen came, he was lying in a corner of a big bunk with others, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he was still wearing pajamas. Burned skin…

This is the first time for County Magistrate Chen to meet the legendary Wei Xiaowang Ye. Even though Su An told him to follow Wei Congxi before, he still hesitated, so they didn't have any intersection afterwards.

Hearing the movement of the person coming, Wei Congxi opened his eyes and glanced at County Magistrate Chen.

County magistrate Chen has been in the officialdom for many years, but he still feels uncomfortable being stared at by Wei Congxi.

There were so many people here, it was hard for him to say anything to Wei Congxi, so he arranged for someone to find him a room alone, and brought some clothes and so on.

Wei Congxi's wound had been bandaged, he got dressed, and ate the snacks on the table.

County magistrate Chen stood for a while, then said with difficulty: "Mr. Wei, I'm sorry, about the matter of Mrs. Madam..."

County magistrate Chen did not dare to underestimate him at all. He has seen countless people, and he can tell that this young prince Wei is not simple, he is not something in the pool.

Wei Congxi didn't say anything, he didn't speak, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

County magistrate Chen thought, it seems that the rumors from the outside world are true, Wei Congxi has no feelings for Miss Shi San, otherwise she would not be so calm and calm.

It took a long time before Wei Congxi nodded.

County magistrate Chen knew that he was unwilling to say anything, so he had to tell the medicine boy in the medical hall to take care of him, but when he was about to leave, Wei Congxi suddenly smiled.

County magistrate Chen turned his head and saw that he had closed his eyes again. He frowned. Did he hear wrong?

...

When Shi Luo woke up, she was already on the carriage back to Nanyue. The carriage set off yesterday, and when she woke up, she had already arrived in another town.

"Where's Wei Congxi?" she asked first when she woke up.

Empress Wu held her hand: "Zhuzhu, the future will be long, and you will meet him again."

Shi Luo didn't say a word, but she felt uncomfortable. She never thought that when she and Wei Congxi parted, she didn't even say goodbye.

Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Empress Wu was afraid that she would think about Wei Congxi again, so she introduced the scenery along the way to her. Shi Luo understood her kindness. Now that she had come out, she didn't want to be trapped in her own emotions. Slowly everything got better.

Old man Xiao and Xin'er were also accompanying him. Xin'er had formally worshiped old man Xiao as his teacher, so naturally he wanted to follow him.

Talking and laughing along the way, the weather is better as we go south, there is almost no snow on the road, and the journey is much faster.

Leaving aside Shi Luo's side, after Wei Congxi was injured, Wang Han was in a panic. The fire was so weird, it was such a sensitive time, it was hard for Wang Han not to think about it.

Wang Han also sent people there on the day of the accident, but it was too chaotic at that time, he didn't see anything, Wang Han didn't care about Shi Luo's death, and was even a little happy, if Wei Congxi could completely stand with the prince In the united front, it is necessary to have a marriage. Shi Luo's death just vacated the space, but it saved them from doing it.

Moreover, Wang Han is also skeptical. He suspects that Wei Congxi took the opportunity to kill and silence her. After all, everyone knows that Wei Congxi and Shi Luo are at odds. Maybe Wei Congxi wanted to kill this woman in his dreams, but now he finally did it?
Sure enough.

In the evening, Wei Congxi came, and Wang Han was secretly relieved to see that he was fine.

"Your Majesty heard about the son's family, my condolences!"

Wang Han is testing.

Wei Congxi looked at him, his eyes were extraordinarily cold: Where did Mr. Wang see that I was sad? "

Wang Han really didn't see it, so he said: "My son's wife has gone, isn't your son sad?"

Wei Congxi didn't speak, just looked at the candles on the table, he was thinking, lost so afraid of the cold, walked all night last night, will it be cold on the road?
Seeing that he was silent and in a daze, Wang Han became more and more unable to understand the little prince. He felt that Wei Congxi was getting weirder and weirder.

Wei Congxi was stunned for a while, then raised her head and said, "Lord Wang, I will stop talking nonsense. To be honest, I don't trust the prince, so you have no weight to me."

Wang Han is not annoyed, it is normal for Wei Congxi to have these concerns.

"What does that young man mean?"

Wei Congxi said: "The coal mines and craftsmen are mine, and I will not give them to anyone. On the side of the prince, I will only provide the name. What the prince wants is the name. Then, these good reputations belong to him. My conditions It is the prince who will help me gain a firm foothold after I return to Lanjing."

Wei Congxi did not ask too much, Wang Han nodded: "Before this matter came, His Highness has already explained it, Mr. Wei, don't worry, there is nothing wrong with it."

Wei Congxi smiled: "Someone will arrange it later. The remaining things are too big, I want to talk to the prince face to face!"

Wang Han was only here to talk about the coal mine. The crown prince has been out of favor for too long, and he urgently needs an opportunity for him to return to the public and be appreciated by the emperor.The rest is indeed not his concern.

After the talk, Wang Han was ready to leave, but Li Xianjiu was unwilling. He was reluctant to part with the hot hot pot, boiled meat, boiled fish, dry pot, and all kinds of dishes in Bafang Restaurant.

Wang Han was quite speechless: "Master, don't forget, you have to go back before the year, if you don't show up at the palace banquet, I'm afraid it will be bad."

Li Xianjiu glanced at Wang Han: "Miss Wei Congxi is dead?"

Wang Han nodded: "It's very miserable, everyone has been burned to charcoal."

"What's Wei Congxi's reaction?"

Wang Han said patiently, "No response."

Li Xianjiu thought for a while and said, "Master Wang, let's go back first, I will go back after the Chinese New Year."

Wang Han took a deep look at Li Xianjiu, but didn't say much, and left that day.
