Mantingfang's warehouse was the first to catch fire.
As a caretaker, Wu De was burned while trying to put out a fire. He had received treatment from a doctor. When Ye Zhenzhen went to visit him, he looked very uneasy and kept apologizing, "Auntie, it's all the villain's fault. The villain is willing to
Receive punishment."
The loss to the store is immeasurable, and even if it is sold, it cannot afford to pay for it.
Wu De will definitely bear the blame for poor guarding, but the punishment should wait until he recovers. Now is not the time to investigate the responsibility. Ye Zhenzhen asked him: "Did you find anyone suspicious last night? The fire in Mantingfang spread instantly.
, obviously it cannot be done by one person."
Wu De thought hard, and it really reminded him of something wrong, "I remembered that some policemen came to the store last night. They said they were arresting fugitives. The fugitives were suspected of escaping in. They came in and searched around.
They stayed outside for a long time, and now that I think about it, they are still carrying things in their hands, and the smell is fuel!"
Those people tied him up in the name of search, and the others were outside pouring oil on him. He didn't notice anything was wrong at all. After the group of policemen left, Man Tingfang was on fire. He was both flustered and frightened, and he didn't even notice anything was wrong.
I didn't doubt the yamen servant.
To put it bluntly, one would suspect that the government servants who suppress violence and keep good people in peace would commit murder and arson.
Sure enough, it was Li Xundao's handiwork.
Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you remember which government officials they are, or the leading ones?"
Wu De nodded quickly and said he remembered.
"Very good. Remember this. You will stay in the store to recuperate for a while. Don't go out alone, and don't meet strangers."
Ye Zhenzhen asked shopkeeper Li to strengthen the defense to prevent Wu De from being killed and silenced. "The store is slowly resting, and there is no rush. It will not be too late to reopen next spring."
Although shopkeeper Li was confused, he didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was the officials who took action, and they, ordinary people, should stay away from the spotlight for a while. However, it was necessary to inform the big boss about this matter. After all, Man Tingfang was also confident.
.
After handling Man Tingfang's incident, Ye Zhenzhen walked back with a stern face.
It can be guessed that this fire was a retaliation by Li Xuandao, but it was also a warning to let them give up challenging and resisting him.
But Ye Zhenzhen was always uneasy. Whether he forced Cui Weizhen to think about his mistakes behind closed doors or set the whole court on fire, it was not a traumatic punishment. Could it be that Li Xuandao thought that this would scare them?
There is already an undying hatred between them.
When Cui Weizhen came back in the evening, he had already heard the big news that Man Tingfang was burned. He thought more about it than Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen didn't know the specific circumstances of her coma, but Cui Weizhen had already stated in front of Li Xuandao that he would pay with blood. With Li Xuandao's cautious attitude, he would definitely not think that he was just speaking out of anger.
These revenge methods must be Li Xuandao's temptation.
"You mean, just as we caught their fatal handle, he was also prepared?" Ye Zhenzhen asked.
Cui Weizhen nodded, tapping his fingertips on the table unconsciously, thinking about what the other party could find that could threaten him...
Aunt Cui's voice sounded at the right time, "Brother Zhen, Zhen'er, come out for dinner."
Cui Weizhen stood up uncontrollably. Ye Zhenzhen was frightened. Is he so hungry today? He was so excited even after eating.
She wanted to make some jokes to lighten the mood.
As a result, he saw Brother Zhen's face turned blue and said, "Brother Zhen, have you thought of something?"
"Cui family of Qinghe."
Cui Weizhen slowly uttered a few words, his voice more difficult than ever before, "If Li Xuandao wants to deal with me, the best way is to kill someone with a borrowed knife."
The Su family was behind Li Xuandao. In order to protect Su Yinghuai, the Su family must suppress this scandal, so it makes sense to use the Cui clan members to deal with Cui Weizhen.
Aunt Cui was originally expelled by the Cui clan for being unchaste. If they bring up the past again, Aunt Cui will most likely be harmed again.
Ye Zhenzhen shuddered.
"Then what should we do? There is no news about the third uncle yet, can we just sit back and wait for death?"
Ye Sanyong has been away for more than a month and should have been in contact with Wang Xuezheng, but we don't know how things will develop. Li Xuandao's revenge has come, and they must come up with countermeasures.
"leave here."
Cui Weizhen said, "You and your mother should go to Fucheng to avoid the limelight and come back when the situation becomes clearer."
This is indeed a good approach.
If Aunt Cui hides, even if someone from the Cui family comes, there will be nothing she can do.
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 had already made up his mind and was thinking about how to discuss it with his mother. He must not confess to her about the possible return of the Cui clan members. He had to find another way, but what way?
"Tell the truth."
Ye Zhenzhen suggested, "We have to stay for a while. Mom is so smart, she won't be able to hide it."
Cui Weizhen pursed his lips. It seemed that he had 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 heavy faces. She was very surprised and asked, "Zhen Zhen went out today. Did something happen to Man Tingfang?"
"Mantingfang was burned."
Ye Zhenzhen said, "Mom, County Magistrate Li is going to attack us. You and I should go to Fucheng to avoid the limelight."
Aunt Cui looked at Cui Weizhen. She was now used to listening to her son's opinions.
Cui Weizhen didn't hide it from her anymore and told his guess. Aunt Cui's face instantly turned pale. The experience of being framed was an indelible psychological shadow for her. She had an instinctive disgust and fear for the Cui clan members.
That’s why I took my son away to a foreign country. If he was found by his tribe...
She didn't dare to imagine the consequences, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, but when she saw the worried eyes of her son and daughter-in-law, she calmed down.
"Okay, Zhen'er and I are leaving. Brother Zhen, you must pay attention to safety when you stay alone in Linxi County. Don't go anywhere except the county school."
The haze in Cui Weizhen's eyes has never dissipated. For him, it is an insult that he cannot protect his wife and mother and has to let them seek refuge everywhere.
Li Xuandao and the Su family are among the people he hates most in his life after the Cui clan.
No matter how much murderous intent was surging at this time, he still smiled softly when he met Aunt Cui's worried gaze, "I know, mom, you don't have to worry. The third uncle is a local gangster in the county. Before he left, he asked his friends to look after Cui.
Home, with their protection, nothing will go wrong."
Even he is not a weak scholar with no strength. He can't be approached by ordinary people, let alone be slaughtered by others.
