Chapter 80 The culprit of arson

The Mantingfang warehouse caught fire first.

As a guard, Wu De was burned to put out the fire and had been treated by a doctor. When Ye Zhenzhen went to visit him, he looked very uneasy and kept apologizing, "Auntie, it's all the villain's fault, and the villain is willing to receive punishment."

The losses in the store are immeasurable, and even if he is sold, he can't afford to pay.

Wu De must be responsible for the ineffective guardianship, but the punishment is still after he recovers. Now is not the time to hold him accountable. Ye Zhenzhen asked him: "Did you find any suspicious person last night? The fire in Mantingfang instantly spreads, obviously it is not something that one person can do."

Wu De thought hard and really reminded him of something wrong. "I remember that there were several messengers in the store last night. They said they were arresting the fugitive. The fugitive was suspected to have escaped. They came in and searched for a while and stayed outside for a long time. Now that they were still holding something in their hands, the smell was fuel!"

Those people tied him up in the name of search, and the rest poured oil outside. He could not notice something was wrong. After the group of men left, Man Tingfang caught fire. He was both panic and fearful, and did not doubt the yamen runners at all.

To put it bluntly, it is suspected that the yamen runners who eliminate violence and safeguard the good will commit murder and arson.

It was indeed Li Xundao's work.

Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you remember which yamen runners are or how many are leading the way?"

Wu De nodded quickly and said he remembered.

"Very good, remember it well. You have stayed in the store to recuperate. Don't go out alone, and don't see strangers."

Ye Zhenzhen asked Manager Li to strengthen his garrison to prevent Wu De from being killed and silenced. "The store is slowly resting, and there is no rush to be a moment. It is not too late to reopen next spring."

Although Manager Li was puzzled, he did not ask much. After all, it was the official who took action, and it was the only one who took action. It was the only one who was the one who was trying to avoid the edge. However, it was necessary to inform the boss of this matter, after all, Man Tingfang was also confident.

After dealing with Man Tingfang's accident, Ye Zhenzhen walked back with a calm face.

It can be guessed that this fire was a revenge by Li Xundao, but it was also a warning to make them give up their challenges and resistance against him.

But Ye Zhenzhen was always worried. Whether it was coercion Cui Weizhen to think about her mistakes behind closed doors or burning Tingfang, it was not considered a punishment that hurt the bones. Could it be that Li Xundao thought that this scared them?

They have already made an endless grudge between them.

When Cui Weizhen came back in the evening, he had already heard about the big news that Man Tingfang was burned. He thought more than Ye Zhenzhen.

Ye Zhenzhen didn't know the specific situation after she fell into a coma, but Cui Weizhen had already stated in front of Li Xundao that he would pay the blood debt. With Li Xundao's cautious attitude, he would definitely not think that he was just talking anger for a moment.

These revenge methods must be Li Xundao's temptation.

"You mean, just like we seized their fatal handle, he was also prepared?" Ye Zhenzhen asked back.

Cui Weizhen nodded, unconsciously tapping the table with her fingertips, thinking about what the other party could catch to threaten him...

Aunt Cui's voice rang out at the right time, "Brother Zhen, Zhen'er, I'm out for dinner."

Cui Weizhen stood up uncontrollably. Ye Zhenzhen was frightened. Was he so hungry today? He was so excited to have a meal.

She wanted to make some jokes to ease the atmosphere.

As a result, when I saw Brother Zhen’er’s blue face, “Brother Zhen, have you thought of something?”

"Qinghe Cui Family."

Cui Weizhen slowly uttered a few words, and his voice was unprecedentedly difficult, "If Li Xundao wants to deal with me, the best way is to kill someone with a knife."

There is the Su family behind Li Xundao. In order to protect Su Yinghuai, the Su family must suppress this scandal. Then it will be explained that using the Cui clan members to deal with Cui Weizhen.

Aunt Cui was expelled by the Cui clan for infidelity. If they had brought up the old story again, Aunt Cui would have been very likely to be hurt again.

Ye Zhenzhen shuddered.

"What should I do? Uncle San has no news yet, can we just sit back and wait for death?"

Ye Sanyong has been away for more than a month and should have had contact with Wang Xuezheng, but I don’t know how things will develop yet. Li Xundao’s revenge has arrived, and they must come up with countermeasures.

“Get out of here.”

Cui Weizhen said, "You and your mother go to the city to avoid the limelight and wait until the situation is clear before coming back."

This is indeed a good idea.

If Aunt Cui hides, even if someone from the Cui family comes, there is no way out.

Ye Zhenzhen asked, "What about you, will you continue to stay in Linxi County?"

"You don't have to worry about me, the Cui family won't do anything to me."

Cui Weizhen has already made up her attention and is thinking about how to discuss with her mother. She must not confess to her that the Cui clan members may come back. She has to find another way, but what should I do?

"Tell the truth."

Ye Zhenzhen suggested, "I will stay for a while then. My mother is so smart, she will definitely not be able to hide it."

Cui Weizhen pursed her lips, and seemed to have no choice but to do this.

Aunt Cui waited for a long time before she saw her son and daughter-in-law come out of the room with a heavy face. It was so strange, "Zhenzhen went out today. Did something happen to Man Tingfang?"

"Man Tingfang was burned."

Ye Zhenzhen said, "Mom, County Magistrate Li is going to attack us. You and I will go to the city to avoid the limelight."

Aunt Cui looked at Cui Weizhen. She was now used to following her son's opinions.

Cui Weizhen did not hide her anymore and told her his guess. Aunt Cui's face turned pale in an instant. The experience of being framed was an indelible psychological shadow for her. She had instinctive disgust and fear of the Cui clan, so she took her son away. If she was found by the clan...

She couldn't imagine the consequences, and her hand holding chopsticks trembled slightly, but when she saw the worried gaze of her son and daughter-in-law, she calmed down.

"Okay, Zhen'er and I leave, Brother Zhen, if you stay in Linxi County alone, you must pay attention to safety. Don't go anywhere except the county school."

The haze in Cui Weizhen's eyes had never dissipated. For him, it was an insult to not protect his wife and mother, and he had to let them take refuge everywhere.

Li Xundao and the Su family were among the people he hated the most in his life after the Cui clan.

No matter how many murderous intents were churning at this time, he still smiled softly when facing Aunt Cui's worried gaze, "I know, mom, don't worry, my third uncle is a local snake in the county. Before he left, he told his friends to take care of the Cui family. With their protection, there would be no problem."

Even he is not a weak scholar without any power. Ordinary people cannot get close to you, and they will not be able to be slaughtered by others.

Aunt Cui finally felt relieved.
