Chapter 12 Fire

Several servants stepped forward quickly.

"Everyone, listen, this is Prince Yan's business. Standing next to me is Mr. Steward, Jiang Mingxuan."

Jiang Mingxuan smiled, stretched out his hand and shook hands subconsciously.

Several servants nearby were frightened by this sudden greeting and fled away.

"Slaves don't dare. From now on, the young men will do their best and only take care of things."

Jiang Mingxuan withdrew his right hand in embarrassment, forgetting that this was Daming.

After explaining some things, Butler Xu left in a hurry.

At the third watch, a voice suddenly shouted, "Oh no, it's on fire!"

At this time, Rongxuanzhai was surrounded by raging fire, and the burning smell could be smelled in Prince Yan's Mansion.

The aroma of burning wood in the fire, crackling like firecrackers, kept ringing in my ears.

"Where's Manager Jiang?"

"I don't know. Are you still asleep in there?"

"Hurry and save people!"

Everyone picked up buckets and poured them into the fire. The burning flame seemed to be able to swallow everything.

Several servants rushed to Jiang Mingxuan's room. At this time, the house was surrounded by fire and they could not rush in.

When the fire was extinguished, only the ruins were left.

At this time, in the palace of Prince Yan.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, Mr. Jiang..."

"What's up with him!"

"A fire broke out in Rongxuanzhai at night and it was reduced to ashes. The children saw that Mr. Jiang was surrounded by fire and there was nothing left."

Zhu Di felt that the sky was about to fall.

He and Jiang Mingxuan had just met each other, but before they could make amends with their son, they were both destroyed by the fire.

Is this God's arrangement, or is someone deliberately obstructing it?

An ominous premonition arose in Zhu Di's heart.

"Hurry up to the government office and go to Rongxuanzhai!"

"Everyone from the Military and Horse Division has gone." Old Xu said with tears in his eyes.

Zhu Di rushed to Rongxuanzhai quickly, and what he saw was a mess and the smell of burning charcoal.

At this time, he couldn't show his sadness towards Jiang Mingxuan.

"Hongqi, the young commander of the army in the capital, comes to see King Yan! King Yan is a thousand years old!"

Zhu Di glanced at Wang Hongqi who was kneeling on the ground.

"Get up, I just opened a pawn shop, but it caused a fire. It's an ominous sign."

"My lord, don't worry too much. I'm determined to find out the truth."

"Master Wang is so sincere. I am very pleased. Where are Mr. Jiang's bones?"

"Your Majesty, no bones of Mr. Jiang have been found, and no one in the store was injured or injured."

Zhu Di suddenly turned his head and looked into the darkness. He could faintly feel a pair of eyes in the darkness, staring at him.

"Your Majesty, please take a look. After investigation by our Yamen Office, it was not caused by a fire."

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"If it was caused by a fire, the fire would naturally start from inside the store, but after testing, it was found that the cause of the fire was man-made, and it started from the beams."

"Yeah, Lord Wang is indeed an old man from the Military and Horse Department. From now on, you will handle this case and be sure to bring the culprit to justice. In addition, if Mr. Jiang is still alive, please make sure to see someone alive!"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he rode away on horseback.

"Sir, there must be something fishy about this matter. Who is so bold and dares to burn the prince's things?" said Li Quan, the sixth-grade guard general of the capital.

Wang Hongqi glanced at Li Quan and said nothing, just smiled softly.

"Li Quan, from now on all the city gates will be sealed and a reward will be posted. Anyone with clues will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

"I obey my orders!"

Jiang Mingxuan was sitting on a shaking carriage with his eyes covered by several men in black.

"Brother, where are you taking me? If you just want money, I will give it to you." Jiang Mingxuan tried.

"I don't want money!"

"Then what do you want?"

"Kill you!"

"No, no, no, brother, we have something to discuss."

I only heard the person next to me say: "Brother, we'll be there soon."

"Okay, you guys keep an eye on this guy and we'll fight him in later."

Jiang Mingxuan staggered, his eyes were dark, and his feet felt like he was stepping on soft marshmallows. He was being taken all the way to the place. He noticed a musty smell and felt that his breath was moist.

"Mr. Jiang, I have invited you here to ask you a few questions."

A very vigorous voice echoed in Jiang Mingxuan's ears.

"Who are you?" Jiang Mingxuan asked subconsciously.

"Of course you won't know who I am. Once you find out, your life will be at risk."

"I am from Prince Yan's palace. If you dare to touch me, Zhu... no, the prince will not spare you."

"Hahahaha, boy, I knew you were from King Yan, otherwise you wouldn't have talked to me like this."

"What do you want to ask?"

"How can you, a little handyman, be summoned by the emperor? The fourth prince even specially rewarded you with Rongxuanzhai. You are quite valuable."

"Haha, I don't know any of this. Do you believe me when I say I came from the future?"

"Let's make a deal. As long as you tell me the questions I asked, you can leave here alive."

"What did the emperor tell you? And why did King Yan give you a pawnshop? Is it the contact point for spies?"

"The emperor told me that I should often come to the palace to accompany him. As for the pawnshop you mentioned, I am just an accountant. I don't know the rest."

"Okay, he is a person from the Fourth Prince's Palace after all. His bones are hard. Come on, let him wake up."

The two people took advantage of the situation and pulled up Jiang Mingxuan's arms. Jiang Mingxuan's feet were dangling in the air and he was currently suspended in the air.

"You have a tough mouth. It seems that you are unwilling to speak out unless you are severely punished."

"No, no, no, brother, I really didn't say anything, I'm just a passerby."

"Hit me!"

"I said! I said!"

Jiang Mingxuan is so clever, how could he endure such torture? As the boss of a listed group, someone even opens the car door himself.

I just had to be carried on my back, how could I suffer such a crime?

"Put me down and I'll tell you."

Immediately, Jiang Mingxuan put it down and said, "You have to let me open my eyes. I am talking in vain. Isn't it right? Even if I die, I have to die."

"Sharp-tongued! Untie him."

Jiang Mingxuan shook his eyes and moved his arms. In the darkness, a man covering his face sat upright.

"Now I can tell you."

"It's in my arms, wait until I take it out and show it to you."

Jiang Mingxuan made a gesture to signal the man covering his face to come over.

With lightning speed, Jiang Mingxuan took out the pepper water in his arms and sprayed it towards the man.

"Escort me!" the man shouted.
