Daming King of Punishment

The businessman shivered for a moment, looked at the governor and said, "My lord, haven't I finished talking about this? It's all due to the spilling of strong wine brewed in my home, which caused the fire."

"What are you doing? Stop talking halfway through the talk. Do you still want me to guess? Don't talk nonsense with me here, just keep talking." The governor was so angry with this businessman that he almost yelled at him. up.

The businessman didn't dare to be vague, and hurriedly continued: "But the wine can't flow out like this, so the workers went to look for the broken jar. They didn't know which jar was broken, so the workers had to search one by one. Because the lights in the house were dark , the workers lit candles in the room. When the workers moved the wine jars accidentally, they overturned a large piece of wine jars. The workers accidentally knocked over the candles in a panic. The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. In addition to the straw everywhere, it caught fire all at once. When they found water to put out the fire, the flames burst into flames and could not be extinguished, which led to such a catastrophe."

Now, everyone understood the ins and outs of the fire.Feelings, this matter was not deliberately set on fire, it was accidentally caught by accident.

Looking at the guy who looked like a businessman, Song Wuya didn't believe this.So what if you don't believe it, it can be said that there is no proof now, and if you question it, you can't see anything now.At this time, the sky has turned.

The governor of the provincial government looked at the businessman: "Hey! This kind of man-made disaster is unavoidable! However, the worker made a mistake, and it is not a deliberate arson, and the judge cannot sentence you. Although the guilt is inevitable, you cannot escape the blame The Drunken Dream Building is separated from you by a wall, and because of your mistake, it almost destroyed their property. You have to pay compensation for this."

Hearing this, the businessman's expression became even uglier, and he patted his thigh and cried, "Let me pay her, who am I to pay for it? Why am I so unlucky, I want Qingming to make a fortune, now it's a good time I didn’t make money, but lost so much property, why am I so unlucky!”

"What? You don't want to pay compensation?" Hearing the businessman's cry, the governor immediately asked with a dark face.

"Compensation, how dare the small one not pay!" The businessman couldn't stop hurting people, making people feel pitiful.

In Song Wuya's eyes, there was no flaw in this scene. This businessman really looked like a profiteer who had lost his property.

After leaving here, Song Wuya returned to the front of Zuimeng Tower together with the governor.Inside the brothel, it is no longer a place to have fun.Mengniang and a group of prostitutes, Guigong, all ran to the street, without even a place to sit.

The cold wind swept over, those girls were wearing thin clothes, their faces were already pale and shivering from the cold.

"Mengniang, it's useless for you to be sad now. Look at the girls here, how frozen they are. I think you should take them to find an inn to settle down temporarily. Wait until this Come back after the smoke clears. It's hard to stay on the street like this!"

The governor of the provincial government stepped forward, came to Mengniang, persuaded him very politely, and showed his benevolent side of a parent official to the ordinary people around him.

All of a sudden, there were voices of praise from all around, and everyone was full of praise from the governor.

Seeing this scene, Song Wuya smiled coldly in his heart.His disdainful eyes and twitching corners of his mouth were not noticed by others, but Bai Zhuo who was at the side saw him clearly.

Enduring everything, Bai Zhuo didn't say much, he didn't open his mouth until the governor returned to the government office and they returned to the inn.

"Brother Wu Ya, just now I saw you contemptuous of the actions of the governor. Do you think he is hypocritical?" Bai Zhuo knew in his heart that Song Wuya's expression was obviously because of this reason.

Of course, Song Wuya didn't hide anything from Bai Zhuo, and told him bluntly.

"Hmph! That's natural. I've already said, Brother Bai, you have to be more careful when you follow me. When investigating the murder case, the provincial governor was never polite to them. Calling Mengniang a madam, those The girl is a brothel girl, and she is even more contemptuous of those tortoises. But just now, the expression on her face was as if she was speaking to her own relatives, and anyone who looked at her with concern would feel hot."

Song Wuya never missed all kinds of details, even what the governor said, he remembered them clearly.

Bai Zhuo was naturally picked up by Song Wuya, how could he notice such details, even if he paid attention deliberately, he might not be able to see the clues from it.

"The fire started right away. The wine shop owner's words should be lies. But he has said so, and we can't produce any evidence. This fire has once again burned out the clue that you suddenly thought of, Brother Wuya It's over!" Bai Zhuo knew why Song Wuya was nervous before.

As soon as the fire broke out, Song Wuya, who was originally anxious, suddenly relaxed. Doesn't this just mean that the most important thing in Song Wuya's heart was cut off like this?

Song Wuya nodded, the smoke from this sound was still attached to his body, and he patted the smoke on his body.

"Brother Bai, you are right. This fire is really critical. Just when I thought I might find a clue, this fire directly broke my mind. May as well Brother Bai think for me, the other party How did he manage to get ahead of us every step of the way? I can't figure it out! I really don't understand why the other party is like a roundworm in my stomach, and he knows what I want to do!"

Song Wuya was so angry that he could hold his breath originally, but it happened every time, how could he look at these things calmly.

Although he was disappointed, Song Wuya did not compromise on this, and all of this just proved one point, that is, the other party was fighting against him, and he could always find the clues left by them.

Early the next morning, Song Wuya arrived at the scene of the fire with the governor.

At the fire scene at this time, although the thick smoke had dissipated, wisps of blue smoke were still rising.Entering it, you can still feel the slightest heat.

That courtyard has been burned down, and the backyard of Zuimenglou is the same.Song Wuya told the governor of the provincial government to ask the servants of the government office to help them clean up the scene of the fire.

At this time, Song Wuya could not say that he wanted to investigate clues.It can only be regarded as helping the girls in Zuimenglou.

"By the way, Mr. Song, you came to me in a hurry yesterday, not because you found any clues. Could it be that the clues you mentioned are in the fire scene? Could it be that the clues you finally got were just like this? Burned out the fire?"

The governor of the provincial government asked suddenly, no matter how you heard it, it sounded a little gloating.

Song Wuya shook his head: "Isn't this a coincidence? It's not a clue. I suddenly saw this casino yesterday, and suddenly thought that there are people of all kinds in this casino. If the gamblers here My eyes are red, but I can do anything. So I thought about asking adults to bring people to check some suspicious people in the casino. Unexpectedly, when I came here, the casino disappeared. The storehouse where the distiller kept his spirits."

"Oh? So that's the case. This official really never thought of it. As for the fact that this is a casino, this official has never paid attention to it." The governor stroked his beard thinking about this matter.

Hearing this, Song Wuya immediately reminded: "Isn't this the casino owned by Boss Tang, Zhao Wang's brother-in-law? I heard that Boss Tang has a very close personal relationship with the governor."

"Hey! How could Mr. Song know about this. You are just hearsay, not trustworthy. This kid surnamed Tang, relying on his brother-in-law, wants to make friends with this official. You know, this official As the provincial capital, he can be regarded as an uncompromising person in this provincial capital. He wants to do things here for the convenience of this official, but this official can't let him do what he wants. But this kid surnamed Tang is really thick-skinned, The official showed his face, and still put a warm face on this official's cold ass, what can I do. Because of the face of his brother-in-law Zhao Wang, it is not good to do things too badly, this That’s why there are these false rumors.”

Song Wuya didn't want to listen to the explanation of the governor.Right or wrong, it doesn't matter at all.He continued directly: "It is said that Boss Tang's casino is not limited to this one, and I hope the governor will send people to search other casinos, and anyone who is suspected will be arrested and interrogated. Presumably by then, the murderer The case will naturally find out."

"Come on, go to the big and small casinos in the city to search for suspicious people immediately. And post a notice, if someone reports suspicious people in the city, there will be a lot of rewards." The governor of the provincial government immediately issued an order to investigate.

Song Wuya paced towards the fire site, looking left and right at the situation inside the fire site.The fire started directly, and the backyard of Zuimenglou and the attic in front were all made of wood, so it was very easy to burn.In addition, there was so much spirits stored in the room over there, and it was reasonable to ignite a raging fire under the overturning and burn the backyard of Zuimenglou separated by this wall to ashes.

The yamen servants cleaned up the scene of the fire, and Song Wuya really couldn't see anything from it.He looked at it carefully, but he didn't see anything wrong with the scene of the fire.He originally thought that there might be a secret way here, but now it seems that there is absolutely no secret way.At least the ground is still smooth and stable, without any collapse, which shows that the possibility of secret passages below is very small.

Chapter 279

Chapter 279

The entire fire scene has been connected into one piece, and it is difficult to tell where exactly belongs to the backyard of Zuimenglou.If Song Wuya hadn't seen a wall that hadn't completely collapsed in the fire scene, he probably wouldn't have been able to find this dividing line.

He was still thinking about what the tortoise had said to him. Since he had seen candles flickering in those unoccupied rooms at night, it meant that someone had entered these rooms.Moreover, these people dared to light candles, which was enough to show that they were not worried about being known by outsiders.

But it's strange that those rooms have been locked and no one is allowed to approach, and no one has ever seen anyone come out of the room after the candles in the room were extinguished.

It was precisely because of this that Song Wuya guessed that the casino must be connected to the rooms in the backyard of Zuimenglou, so he came here to check it out knowing that there was nothing left.

"Huh?" Suddenly, Song Wuya walked along the collapsed wall, and found an incredible place under a pile of burnt wood.

He focused his eyes, stared there for a long time, and then turned elsewhere.

He turned around and looked at Zuimenglou, lost in thought.Only then would he understand why the other party just set fire to this place. It turned out that it was because they knew that nothing would be left after this place was set on fire.

The only clue that Song Wuya valued was vanished.

Leaving the scene of the fire with the adults of the provincial government, Song Wuya stayed in the Drunken Dream Building.

"Song Gongzi, do you think there is anything wrong with this scene of fire?"

The governor sat down with Song Wuya, greeted Mr. Gui to pour some tea, and then asked him a question.

Not to mention that he didn't find anything wrong, even if he found something wrong, he couldn't tell the governor clearly.

"Hehe! Sir, is there something wrong with the fire that you received? This fire was burned happily enough. If there is anything wrong, I really haven't found it." Song Wuya said helplessly, His eyes scanned everything in the hall.

This Zuimenglou is not a simple place, the fire is probably just the beginning, Song Wuya did not feel discouraged.He just took advantage of the effort to check the fire scene, but he didn't look away from other places. He only wanted to know that he had already known it.

"Originally, I wanted to look for clues from the wall between this casino and Zuimeng Tower, but now that all clues have been cut off, it will be even more difficult to find the murderer." Song Wuya sighed, drinking tea, Turning his head to the Guigong beside him, he asked, "Why didn't you see Mengniang today?"

"Reporting to my lord, after such a disaster, I don't feel much in my heart, but after all, this is Mengniang's family property that I have worked so hard to accumulate. Last night in the inn, I heard that he cried all night, and now he is back at the inn I've gone back to my room to rest."
