Chapter 28: Fire

As soon as the sky was bright, Qin Xiao went out with a stomach full of grievances.
He wondered if he had hit the big mold recently and encountered a pair of brothers and sisters such as Shen Yaoshi.
The man in the jail used a hundred or two silvers to let himself run to the land temple at midnight, but now he came across a brazen little aunt who eats and drank in vain, and deceived all the dozens of silver he carried with him. Gone.
At the moment of going out, breathing the morning air, Qin Xiao suddenly felt like a little sheep.
He really didn't want to spend more time with the cowhide woman.
Mu Yeji took Qin Xiao's silver, without any guilt, and continued to sleep with her, sleeping and eating, drinking and sleeping, for her life is very happy.
There is no copper coin in his body, and Qin Xiaoxun thinks that he can only get some money at the bank.
Mu Yeji's behavior and behavior made Qin Xiao suffocate, and the culprit of all this was Shen Yaoshi, who was imprisoned. Qin Xiao made up his mind to return to the Jiazi prison. His actions paid a price.
I hadn't reached Qianzhuang, but I saw several people hurried to the front. The group of people had just passed by, and a few others came hurriedly in the back. I didn't know if they were in a hurry to get money or were chased by the money.
"Eh, Boss Qiu, where are you going?" Qin Xiaozheng is strange, and he sees two people running past him, knowing that one of them is the boss of the bookstore, and he has cooperated with him.
Boss Qiu turned his head to see Qin Xiao and hurriedly said: "Last night, a fire broke out. I heard that people were burnt to death. I used to see what happened."
He kept walking while talking.
Although Guicheng is not small, it is not big. When something happens on weekdays, it always attracts a group of people to watch.
Qin Xiao followed Boss Qiu around the street, and saw that a large group of people had gathered not far in front of him, and there was a black crowd, and there were people from all around to gather there.
"Don't squeeze anymore." A yaman in the crowd waved: "All back, what's so good."
Qin Xiao saw that the bureaucrat was the man in the Duwei Mansion. He hurriedly walked past, and the onlookers saw that Qin Xiao was coming in an official missionary costume, and thought he was here to make a mission. He gave way to him, and Qin Xiao squeezed over , Only to see that the previous house had been burned and collapsed, and there was a smoky smoke between the rubble.
At this time, several officials were carrying the corpses out of the burnt house, and on the roadside, several corpses were already placed, too late to cover up.
Seven or eight bureaucrats of the Duwei Palace maintained order and prevented the people from squeezing them up. On the side of the corpse, there were official officers with several swords. These people were dressed differently from the bureaucrats of the Duwei Palace. Qin Xiaoren’s That's the man who punishes Cao.
The most powerful nature of Guicheng is Changxinhou, in addition, it is the Duwei Mansion, and the criminal Cao is the Yamen who has real power among the six Caocheng.
Guicheng’s criminal cases are all handled by Criminal Cao. Interrogation and interrogation cases are all managed by Criminal Cao’s officials. Duwei Mansion assists Criminal Cao to arrest people. stand up.
"Meng catches the head!" Qin Xiao saw Ma Kuaishou head Meng Zimo stood not far away, walked over and called.
Mencius looked very ugly. He stared at the burnt house. He clenched his fists in both hands. He heard Qin Xiao’s voice and turned his head to look at it. Then he said: "There was a fire here. It was just extinguished. Zheng Tuhu’s family... .!" but did not go on.
Qin Xiao heart sighed.
He certainly knows who the butcher Zheng is.
A few days ago, the evil dog of Zhenhou's house bite at Zheng Butu's butcher's shop. Mencius passed by, and the dog was kicked to death, so Mencius almost couldn't get out of Zhenhou's house.
After the incident, who knew that Zheng Tuhu's house was actually burnt by fire.
He swept through the dead bodies. Although the dead capital had been burned to the point of being a humanoid figure, he could see that there were actually two dead bodies of children.
That is of course the child of Zheng Tuhu's family.
Zheng Tuhu was filled with fire and was killed by a fire.
"Everyone gave way, Lv Cao officer arrived." Qin Xiao turned his head to look over when there was a commotion in the crowd, only to see two criminal Cao officials sending a middle-aged man in a black mansion from the crowd, Qin Xiao Instead, he recognized at a glance that the official was Cao Guan Lu Siyuan, the criminal Cao.
Mencius greeted him, arched his hand to Lv Siyuan, Lv Siyuan nodded, saw the burnt house, raised his hand to cover his nose, frowned, and looked at the dead bodies again. Then he said: "How many dead?" "
Mencius' lips moved slightly, and he finally didn't speak.
He is a member of the Duwei Mansion and is responsible for arresting criminals, but tracing criminal cases is not within the scope of his duties.
"Mr. Hui, Zheng Tuhu's family of five, two husbands and wife, a pair of children, and an old mother." A criminal Cao Ya said: "Four bodies have been found. His mother's body should still be inside. "
Lu Siyuan said: "This is a family burned to death?"
"It should have been a family, and there was a fire in the house." Yacha said: "The neighbors in the left and right are also in their sleep, and they didn't hear someone call for help from Zheng Tuhu's family. Covered, and affected both sides. The people around came up to fight the fire, but the fire was too large, it took a while to put it out, but no one was rescued."
"Amitabha." Lu Siyuan folded his hands together: "It's really pitiful that all the family was burned to death." Xiang Ya said: "Looking back, everyone gathers some money and bury their family. They can't always die. Have no place."
He had just dropped his voice, and suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Master Lu, don't put your money together, this funeral fee, the youngest son came out."
Qin Xiao looked around and saw that Mr. Lang, the chief of the Zhenhou House, was slowly coming out of the crowd.
Seeing Mr. Lang, Mencius's face sank, and his eyes crossed the cold light.
"It turned out to be Mr. Lang." Lu Siyuan saw Mr. Lang and smiled immediately, his body slightly bowed: "Young Master is really a bodhisattva. If Zheng Tuhu's family knew that Young Master would put them into the earth for safety, they would be grateful."
Mr. Lang with one hand behind his back, smiled and said: "Someone just reported that Zheng Tuhu's house found a fire, he was worried, let me come over to see what is the situation, and said that Zheng Tuhu grew up in Guicheng when he was young. Someone in the family was killed unfortunately, and Zhenhou House was willing to take out the silver for burial." He sighed and shook his head: "Who knows that the family of five was killed in the fire, and the young son must also be sad."
"Young Master Ren Renyi." someone in the crowd called out.
Many people followed suit.
Lu Siyuan said quickly: "Mr. Lang is assured that Zheng Tuhu's family will be killed, and criminal Cao will help deal with the matter."
"Wait a moment." Suddenly, he heard Mencius Mo Chen say: "Master Lu, the body of Zheng Tuhu's family has not been post-mortem, so it is concluded that it was burned to death, is it too hasty?"
Lv Siyuan frowned: "What does Meng Saotou mean? The house was burned like this, and the corpse capital was lifted out of the house. This is not burned to death, is it still caused by people?"
Mencius said: "The corpse is indeed lifted out of the house, but it cannot be proved that it must have been burned to death. Why doesn't the adult let the corpse be tested?"
"When did Duwei Mansion begin to investigate?" Mr. Lang said, "Yu Wei Man is involved in the punishment of Cao Cao today. Will he be involved in Cao Cao tomorrow? Even the courts of the imperial court know each department People in Duwei House don’t understand this principle?"
Mencius's eyes slightly jumped, and this was exactly the dead spot of Duwei Mansion.
Lv Siyuan also sneered, saying: "Meng catches the head, even Mr. Lang knows the truth, you all do not understand? If you really want to proceed with the case, you can invite Han Duwei, the official would like to know, he Do you agree to let you handle the case?"
"Adult, the family of Zheng Tuhu is obviously not burned to death. If the case is determined to be burned to death, only the reputation of Xing Cao will be damaged." Suddenly Qin Xiao said aside.
Lv Siyuan glanced at Qin Xiao and sneered, "When can even the jailers of Duwei Mansion be able to speak with confidence? What are your qualifications to be wordy here?"
"The family of Zheng Tuhu died so miserably. If they could not find out how they died, how could their family be peaceful?" Qin Xiao was not afraid.
Around the people suddenly whispered and talked.
"How do you know that they were not burned to death?" A criminal Cao Ya on the edge sneered.
Qin Xiaodao said: "Someone said just now that when the fire was discovered, the house was already covered by the fire. Isn't it surprising that someone in the house didn't call for help in this situation?"
"The family slept deeply, and when they found out that the shout was too late, what's so strange?" Lu Siyuan snorted coldly.
Qin Xiao was sad and angry at this moment.
Of course he knew that Zheng Tuhu’s house was burnt, and it could never be just an accident.
Just a few days ago, I offended Zhenhou Mansion. Today, the corpse of a family was lifted from the burnt house. If there is no shadow of Zhenhou Mansion behind this, Qin Xiao could not believe it.
Mencius clearly has the same mind as Qin Xiao.
However, the criminal Cao wanted to conclude that Zheng Tuhu's family was burned to death, obviously wanting to cover up the matter easily.
Unexpectedly, Qin Xiao walked quickly to the corpse's side and squatted down. Under the eyes of everyone on the side, the two pinched the corner of a corpse's mouth and opened the corpse's mouth vigorously. A small piece of cloth tucked into the body's first mouth.
"What are you doing?" Lu Siyuan said angrily: "Come here, pull him down."
The two criminal Cao Yaya were about to step forward, but Qin Xiao had stood up, raised the cloth towel in his hand, and lit up in front of Lu Siyuan, shouting: "Master Lu, you see clearly, this cloth towel does not have any dust smoke If you are burned to death, your mouth will be suffocated with fireworks, and this piece of cloth will also turn black. Anyone knows this truth." Leng laughed: "Only by being killed first, the fire will burn after death. The corpse can’t breathe, that’s what’s inside the mouth.

There was an uproar around the people, and some people had already shouted: "Zheng Tuhu's family was killed by someone. You can't finalize the case like this. You must find the murderer and avenge them."
