Chapter 26 Almost a fire in the backyard

"So, King Xin immediately ordered Chen Wen to take action and gave King Xiang a push. With the power guarantee of the two princes, these weapons were unsafely transported out of the armory. Otherwise, how could Lu Xiu

I have never noticed the rough waves under this capital city."

Huo Jingchen was still puzzled and asked doubtfully: "But why did the Beidi people become restless after getting the weapons? Instead, they cooperated with King Xin to assassinate me. Doesn't this leave a clue?"

"So, this is all controlled by that mysterious force. He first cooperated with the Beidi people to transport spies into the capital, and then agreed to resell weapons to Beidi. In return, the Beidi people must kill you!" Wen Jianzhou thought about what happened before.

Huo Jingchen was bleeding and punched the table in anger.

"What grudge do I have against this mysterious man? He actually wanted to waste so much effort to make me die?" Huo Jingchen racked his brains and couldn't think of when he had offended such a person. He was extremely confused.

"What's even more frightening is that we didn't even know when someone with such power appeared in the capital." Wen Jianzhou thought of another aspect and said with a dark face.

"Besides, the things you found may have been revealed to you intentionally by him." Thinking of another possibility, Huo Jingchen said coolly.

Wen Jianzhou jumped up in anger, looked at Huo Jingchen in disbelief, and exclaimed: "What did you say?"

"Do you think that since he is so powerful, why can't he be more secretive? He shows his signs everywhere, just to let us investigate in this direction deliberately."

Wen Jianzhou couldn't figure it out and asked in surprise: "What are the benefits of doing this?"

"What's the benefit? If I die, King Xiang and King Xin will not be able to survive, and the court will be in a bloody storm again, and Beidi can also take the opportunity to make a comeback. By then, there will be internal and external troubles and great danger." Huo Jingchen said slowly

road.

Hearing this, Wen Jianzhou almost broke out in a cold sweat, and then said in fear: "This man is really scary! How about our Lord Bing Ming and let him come and investigate carefully."

"Of course, this matter must be told to Your Majesty, but it cannot pass through our hands." Huo Jingchen shook the cup in his hand, with a sly smile flashing in his eyes.

Wen Jianzhou immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile: "You mean, give all these evidences to Prime Minister Zhang?"

"That's right! This old fox like Zhang Xiang is not a vegetarian, and he is extremely protective of his shortcomings. If he finds out that someone dares to take advantage of Prince Xiang, he will lose his skin even if he doesn't die!" Huo Jingchen thought of something and laughed even more happily.

.

"Hahaha! I will send someone to give gifts to Zhang Xiang right away. Anyway, this year's New Year's gifts haven't been given yet!" Wen Jianzhou couldn't wait to see Zhang Xiang's reaction, clapped his hands and said.

When he heard about the New Year's gift, Huo Jingchen thought of the gift Jiang Hexi sent him this morning, and his face darkened. However, out of sympathy, he silently walked to the cabinet aside, took out the package and handed it to Wen Jianzhou.

Wen Jianzhou subconsciously took it and looked at Huo Jingchen in confusion.

"This is a gift from Miss Jiang." Huo Jingchen said concisely and comprehensively.

"Miss Jiang is so interesting. She even gave me a gift. I will also give her a big gift one day." When Wen Jianzhou saw his friend's weird look, he didn't know what he was struggling with. Instead, he joked without fear of death.

Hearing this, Huo Jingchen subconsciously tore off the sachet he was playing with at his waist and threw it towards Wen Jianzhou angrily.

Wen Jianzhou immediately ran away, leaving only a string of laughter like silver bells.

On a dark night, outside the corner of the Jiang family's back yard.

A thin figure lit a torch and peeked furtively at what was going on inside.

"Skinny monkey! Put out the fire for me! Are you afraid that others won't know what we are doing?" A short and fat figure on the side slapped the thin figure in a hurry, lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and scolded.

"Boss, I was wrong, I will blow it out right away." The thin man immediately blew out the torch and gave the short fat man a flattering smile.

"Squat down quickly and I'll go in and take a look." the short, fat man ordered.

The thin man begged with a sad face: "Boss, I, I can't do it!"

"hurry up!"

"Oh, okay, okay."

The short, fat man stood on the thin shoulders of the thin man. The weight of his fat body made the thin man tremble, and his legs were shaking.

"Boss, hurry up! I can't do it anymore!"

"I know! Why urge me!"

The short, fat man finally climbed up the wall of Jiang's backyard, but when he saw the ground far away, his heart trembled.

"Boss, jump quickly!" Seeing that he didn't move, the thin man urged in a low voice.

"It's up to you whether I will jump or not!" Although the short and fat man was extremely frightened, he closed his eyes hard out of sympathy and jumped suddenly.

"Ouch! It hurts me so much!" Along with the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, there was also the sound of a man crying for his father and mother.

"Boss, are you okay?" The thin man asked in a low voice after hearing this.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Dog, dog!"

A scream of pain like a slaughtered pig resounded through the sky, spreading from the backyard of the Jiang family to other corners of Ping An Village.

A rustling sound sounded, and the dark courtyard immediately became bright.

When the thin man saw something was wrong, he ran away immediately.

Jiang Hexi stood up in a daze, put on her clothes and immediately rushed to her two younger brothers' rooms.

"Knock, knock, knock." The knock on the door sounded.

"Ayun, Axuan, are you okay?" Jiang Hexi asked anxiously.

"Sister, we're fine." Jiang Hexuan ran over and opened the door, comforting her in a low voice.

Jiang Hexi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Stay here and don't move. I'll go take a look."

"Girl, I'd better go." Liuying, who was suffering from cold, was also awakened by the movement and said in a hoarse voice.

"You are sick! Go and rest quickly." Jiang Hexi was unwilling and refused.

"Girl, if you don't go away, the thief will run away." Liuying smiled weakly and was still in the mood to tease.

So the two of them had to hold hands and walk quickly to the Jiang family's backyard.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I found a short, fat man huddled in the corner. The little spotted dog was staring at him eagerly, barking loudly and threateningly from time to time.

"Li Dabao! Why are you here?" Jiang Hexi exclaimed as soon as he saw that familiar face.

"What? Li Dabao! How dare you come to Xi'er's house to steal something, let's see if I don't beat you to death!" Hearing the noise next door, she rushed over. When Jiang Hexuan opened the door and was able to come in, Madam Li raised the big stick in her hand angrily.

, you have to hit him with a stick.

At this time, Li Tiezhu, who was following closely, hurriedly stopped her, causing Mrs. Li to glare at him angrily.

Li Tiezhu said helplessly: "Lotus, calm down and ask what's going on first."

"Say! Li Dabao! Why did you come to Xi'er's house so late at night?" Madam Li asked with raised eyebrows.

"Speak quickly! Otherwise, if my stick falls, you will lose half your life." Li Tiezhu, who was standing beside him, threatened sullenly.

Looking at Li Tiezhu's crippled feet, Li Dabao had no doubt that he would really beat him to death. He quickly begged for mercy loudly: "Brother Tiezhu, just spare me! I don't dare to do it anymore, I don't dare to do it anymore."

!”

"You're not here to steal money, you want to do other things." Jiang Hexi glanced sarcastically at Li Dabao, who was so frightened that he wet his pants, and said firmly.

Liu Ying, however, stepped forward directly, searched Li Dabao's body, and indeed took out the fire from his sleeve.

"How dare you Li Dabao! How dare you set fire to it? I see you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin!" Madam Li's eyes turned red with anger when she saw how bold he was.

"Send him to the government!" Jiang Hexi said directly, not bothering to mess with such a ruffian.

Hearing this, Li Dabao cried even more and his nose was runny. He knelt down and begged, "Don't send me to the government. I was wrong. I was wrong."

"My sister asked me to do this. If you want to find it, just go to her!"

Before Jiang Hexi and the others could be surprised, a group of people came rushing to the Jiang family's backyard with a huff and a whistle.

"Li Dabao! What are you talking about! When did I give you orders?" Hearing his brother betraying him from a distance, Li Shuixian hurriedly retorted loudly.

Li Dabao's eyes lit up, thinking that the scapegoat had arrived, and shouted loudly: "Sister! It's obviously you who said that as long as all the cotton-padded clothes of the Jiang family are burned, they can no longer be so arrogant."

"When did I say that? Don't accuse me wrongly!" Li Shuixian hurriedly retorted when she saw that the surrounding villagers were looking at her with disdain.

"Okay! Li Shuixian, you didn't dare to set fire to Jiang's house and encouraged me to be this evil person. Don't forget that in order to let me come over, you gave me a tael of silver!" Li Dabao took a look.

She actually refused to admit it and simply said it with face.

"One tael of silver! Li Shuixian is really hardworking. What kind of hatred does the Jiang family have against her? They actually want to set fire to other people's goods." Mrs. Li from the east of the village sighed.

"She must be jealous of her! Li Shuixian is not a generous person to begin with. She has long been grudged against Miss Jiang because she didn't want her to do knitting work." Mrs. Li's daughter-in-law, Xiu Niang, first looked at Jiang Hexi flatteringly and said,

He said as if filled with righteous indignation.

"This heart is so dark!"

"That's it! That's it!"

The more Mrs. Li listened, the angrier she became. She walked directly in front of Li Shuixian and said fiercely, "Li Shuixian, how dare you do such a sinful thing! Let me tear your mouth apart!"

"Qin Hehua, you shrew! I'll beat you to death!" Li Shuixian resisted unwillingly.

The two women immediately started fighting "inseparably".

The stunned people quickly broke up the fight and pulled the two away.

Jiang Hexi, however, did not believe Li Dabao's words. To be precise, it was Li Shuixian who deceived Li Dabao into setting the fire. She stared at Li Shuixian critically, only to make Li Shuixian blink for a moment. She felt guilty and did not dare to look into her eyes.

"Li Shuixian, where did you get the money? Someone asked you to set the fire, right? Tell me! Who is that person?" Jiang Hexi said with increasing certainty when she saw that she had something in her heart.

"What are you talking about! It's just that I, Li Shuixian, couldn't stand your arrogance and deliberately set off the anger. What can you do to me!" Li Shuixian refused to admit it when she thought of the generous money that man promised her.
