Rebirth: Fu Jia Returns

Chapter 133 Arson
"What does the princess mean?" Qin Guzhi didn't figure out what the princess Tianxiang meant for a while.
Princess Tianxiang looked at Qin Guzhi pitifully again: "They have seen my embarrassed appearance, so I don't want to see them appear in front of me again."

Qin Guzhi nodded slowly. Princess Tianxiang's brain circuit is also quite strange. Logically, shouldn't she find out the cause of the fire?

"General Qin, please transfer them to another place!" Princess Tianxiang paused, then said.

"Qin will do it now."

Qin Guzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought Princess Tianxiang meant to execute all these people.

It turned out that it was just transferred to another place.

From the looks of it, this Princess Tianxiang was quite different from the shrewd but cruel Wumeng in the legend.

No matter what, Qin Guzhi had doubts about the fire, and he wanted to investigate it as soon as possible.

After ordering people to protect Princess Tianxiang, Qin Guzhi strode out of the inn.

The two servant girls of Princess Tianxiang in the inn looked at Princess Tianxiang puzzledly: "Princess, why didn't those people goug out their eyes when they saw the princess? Or put them to death directly? Just transfer them to other places. Is it okay?"

Before the maid could finish her words, she got slapped on the mouth.

"You two still have the nerve to say, if you didn't take good care of me, would I let people see me in such a mess?"

The servant girl knelt down with a plop, obedient, not daring to answer, half of her face suddenly swelled up.

"Okay, get up!"

Princess Tianxiang said angrily.

Along the way, she still needed these two people to take care of her, otherwise, these two people would have been chopped up and fed to the dogs long ago.

She blurted out just now and asked Qin Guzhi to deal with her.

After finishing speaking, he regretted it, so he brought the topic back, not only showing his soft heart, but also making Qin Guzhi feel that he was really wronged.

Qin Guzhi must be investigating the cause of the fire now, that would be great, let him investigate.

After tidying up, Princess Tianxiang lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep.

Qin Guzhi went to the post station, and Cheng Zhiyuan had already directed people to search the scene.

"General Qin!"

Seeing Qin Guzhi approaching, Cheng Zhiyuan rushed to meet him.

"Did you find anything?" Qin Guzhi asked while observing the scene

Cheng Zhiyuan shook his head, and said: "We have searched almost all the surrounding areas, but nothing was found, and the cause of the fire has not been found either."

"Well, go and have a look." Qin Guzhi raised his legs and walked into the fire scene.

There is smoke and dust everywhere here, black dust particles floating in the air, if you accidentally inhale it, you will cough up.

Qin Guzhi and Cheng Zhiyuan covered their mouths and noses with half-wet towels, walked over the ruined beams all the way, and walked to roughly the location of Princess Tianxiang's bedroom.

Everything here was almost burned, and thick smoke and dust spread on the ground.

Apparently, the fire started from here.

Qin Guzhi bent over and watched the scene carefully.

The fire was so intense that it was basically impossible to see anything.

Qin Guzhi observed carefully for about half an hour, but found nothing, and straightened up regretfully.

I drank too much today, so when I found out the fire, it was already too late.

"Let's look elsewhere." Qin Guzhi and Cheng Zhiyuan said.

After walking two or three steps, Qin Guzhi suddenly let out a "Huh", as if he kicked something under his feet.

"Wait!" Qin Guzhi said suddenly.

Cheng Zhiyuan hurriedly stopped, watching Qin Guzhi bend down and pull out something from the ashes.

It was a crystal hairpin, which looked like a butterfly and a flower, buried in a pile of things, and it did not burn out.

"It's... Princess Tianxiang's?" Cheng Zhiyuan paused.

Qin Guzhi was noncommittal and put the hairpin back on.

I thought there was some important discovery, but it turned out to be a hairpin.

The two continued to walk forward, when there was a commotion not far away.

Then, a group of soldiers tied a short man and brought him over, pushing and shoving him.

"What's going on?" Qin Guzhi asked coldly.

One of them reported: "General Qi, this man was sneaking around there, wandering around all the time, and the little ones tied him up."

"Let go of me, I, I am a nearby resident, I can't even look at it, look at the law, why are you arresting people casually!" The short man shouted loudly.

Qin Gu looked him up and down.

I saw him dressed like a local commoner. He was short, with a round face and small eyes. Basically, he had an ordinary appearance where he couldn't see people when he was thrown in the crowd.

"Why are you peeking here?" Cheng Zhiyuan asked.

The man poked his neck and said, "I'm not peeping, it's obvious that there's a fire here, I'm also concerned and curious, and want to see what's going on."

"There is martial law here, didn't you see it?" Cheng Zhiyuan snapped.

The man seemed a little scared, shrank his neck and said, "I, I'm just curious."

"What are you curious about? Are you curious about whether the person is dead, or are you curious about something else?" Qin Guzhi asked in a deep voice.

Nothing can be seen from the man.

The man didn't admit it, he just said: "I'm just curious to see, you have arrested the wrong person, I don't know anything."

Qin Guzhi raised his eyebrows, and suddenly punched the man with fists.

The man dodged subconsciously, and Qin Guzhi's fist missed.

Qin Guzhi sneered and stood still in front of the man.

"Unexpectedly, he is still a master."

The man felt annoyed in his heart, but he still refused to admit it.

"I don't understand what masters are low-handed."

Qin Guzhi smiled and said, "If you don't understand, then why not send you to a place where you can listen carefully." After speaking, Qin Guzhi signaled Cheng Zhiyuan to take him away.

The man shouted loudly: "Let go of me, I just came back to have a look, just curious, why did you arrest me!"

Cheng Zhiyuan frowned, spotted a torn rag beside him, picked it up, and stuffed the burnt rag into the man's mouth.

The man suddenly retched a few times from Xun, then struggled not to speak, and was dragged away.

Qin Guzhi led his men to search the scene again, and finally found traces of kerosene in the corner of the wall.

Following the direction of the surroundings, another barrel of fire oil was found.

Only then did Qin Guzhi verify what he thought in his heart.

The fire was not accidental, but man-made.

His face became embarrassed.

As soon as he saw Princess Tianxiang, someone set fire to it. Qin Guzhi always felt that it was very bad.

He came to the yamen in Helmet City nearby, Cheng Zhiyuan was interrogating the short man.

In terms of solving cases, Cheng Zhiyuan might be better than Qin Guzhi, after all, in the southern suburbs of the county, he can handle several cases a day.

Wouldn't it be a bit too ignorant to let the magistrate intervene.

After slapping the gavel, Cheng Zhiyuan shouted: "Who are you, I am here to tell you the truth!"

　I almost couldn't update yesterday, my little heart every day...
