You act stupid and I act crazy, let's be ancestors together

The suffocating feeling from her neck made Yulan's head feel dizzy. She wanted to say something but it was difficult for her to even open her mouth.

She could only use her hands to pry away Jiang Si's hand that was strangling her neck, but it was obvious that her efforts were in vain.

Jiang Si's hand strength increased several points, "Why, you still don't tell the truth? How about I guess, did you let the person in, or did you set the fire?"

When everyone in the yard saw Jiang Si questioning, they all sighed that this was simply the coming of the devil. Choking someone by the neck and questioning them, is this something a normal person can do?

The movement from Jiang Si's side attracted Fan Tong's attention almost as soon as she spoke.

Seeing that Yulan was almost out of breath, he quickly shook off the man and the tiger in his arms, walked quickly towards his wife, and grabbed her wrist.

"Wife, let go, let go."

Jiang Si originally had no intention of letting Yulan go. She would naturally not be lenient towards this kind of dog slave who colluded with others to kill her, but when she saw Fan Tong coming out to stop her, she let go.

He is an official and she is a gangster, so their styles of doing things are naturally different. I guess he doesn't want to see her execute others without evidence.

As soon as Jiang Si let go, Yulan fell to the ground. She was limp all over at the moment, stroking her neck and coughing. Before she could recover, she pounced on Fan Tong and hugged his legs.

"Ahem, Master, save me, I really didn't do anything to harm you."

Feeling the warm object on his calf, Fan Tong trembled all over and quickly took several steps back and pulled his leg out.

"What's wrong with you, girl? You always cling to men. What if my wife misunderstands?"

Fan Tong huddled behind Jiang Si, looking at Magnolia on the ground with disgust, and then patted his trouser legs, fearing that they would be stained with some dirt.

Yulan is the prettiest maid in the courtyard. She has served Fan Tong for so long. Although this young master is stupid, he is very good-looking, so naturally she has been attracted to him.

In the past, the young master was not very close to her, but he would never despise her like this.

Now seeing that the young master despised her so much, Yulan's already flushed face turned even redder with shame. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Jiang Si.

If the young master doesn't support her, then she will have only one ending.

Compared with her own life, no good thing mattered. Yulan knelt down in front of Jiang Si and told him everything.

"I accepted the bribe from Manager Li, so I sent the people away for a while, but I didn't expect that he would dare to do such a thing. Madam, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again. Master, please forgive me."

When Fan Zhirong heard this, he turned his head away, pretending he didn't hear it. His daughter-in-law was very fierce, just like Fan Tong's mother. He just hoped that his daughter-in-law would not let her anger extend to him.

"Manager Li? Li Dachao?" Manager Hong suddenly stood up and asked loudly.

Yulan looked up at Butler Hong and nodded repeatedly in response, "Yes, it's Butler Li who is in charge of purchasing in the kitchen."

"The kitchen steward?"

Jiang Si was a little confused at the moment. Why did the kitchen manager burn down the house? Was it because of the account book?

That's not right. Butler Hong had traveled extensively with Father Fan in his early years. If there was something wrong with the kitchen's accounts, he should have noticed it long ago. So why did this butler come to burn down the house? This really doesn't make sense.

"The arsonist was very ruthless. He had poured wine in the house before." Xie Yuan suddenly stepped forward. "Manager Li asked me to deliver raw meat to the White Tiger in the old courtyard. The fire had just started when I arrived. I rushed in when I heard the movement in the house. As soon as I picked up the lazy cat, the flames shot up high and instantly set the whole house on fire."

The fact that the arsonist chose to do it when no one was around proves that he did not want to kill anyone but just wanted to destroy something.

But apart from those account books, Jiang Si really couldn't figure out what else in this room was worth going to so much trouble to destroy.

And this Manager Li, if he was really the one who set the fire, why did he let Xie Yuan come to deliver the things?

Want to cover it up?

Just as Jiang Si was daydreaming about this, Hong Zhong had already come over with the manager named Li Dachao.

Manager Li was tied up by Hong Zhong and carried on his shoulders, running towards him at a trot using his light Kung Fu skills.

Hong Zhong works so hard for no other reason than that he doesn't want to miss any good show.

"Master, I am innocent. Even if you give me a hundred courage, I would not dare to do this!"

As soon as Hong Zhongcai took out the rag stuffed in Manager Li's mouth, he couldn't wait to shout at Fan Zhirong.

Fan Zhirong didn't even look at Manager Li, he just smiled at his daughter-in-law, "My daughter-in-law is in charge of this matter, you guys should make the decision on your own matters in your courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Manager Li had nothing to understand. He immediately knelt down and moved towards Jiang Si, "Young Madam, Young Madam, I really don't know anything. Even if you give me a hundred more courage, I would not dare to set fire to Pan Gui Garden!"

"Manager Li is well-informed. I haven't even asked anything yet, but you're so quick to speak."

Jiang Si looked at Li Dachao coldly. This man was fat, with a round waist and thick arms. His figure was worthy of being a kitchen manager.

When Li Dachao heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead. "Guardian Hong tied me up as soon as he arrived. I have been working in the mansion for many years, so I have some good eyesight. If I think about what happened in the mansion today, it will not be difficult to guess."

"You are quite thoughtful." Jiang Si smiled, and then continued to ask: "You said it was not a arson, then why did you bribe Yulan to get rid of the people at this time?"

Manager Li is not stupid. Since the young lady was able to find him, it means that Yulan sold him out. His calculating eyes turned and he said, "This... I know that the young lady is in charge of the household now, so I should try to please the girls in her courtyard. If you don't believe me, ask Miss Yulan. They left now to eat the snacks I brought."

"Yes, Madam, we did go back to the house to have some snacks. We thought it would be okay to be away for a while, but we didn't expect..."

The one who answered was not Yulan, but another little girl.

"I don't care why. It is a fact that you have deserted your post. Uncle Hong, send these people out of the house."

As soon as Jiang Si said this, the courtyard suddenly became lively, filled with the cries of maids and servants begging for mercy.

Butler Hong waved his hand, and several guards rushed in from outside the courtyard and dragged away the maids and servants who were crying and begging for mercy, saying that they would never do it again.

After the courtyard quieted down, Jiang Si squatted in front of Manager Li, took out a dagger from the space, slapped the blade on Li Dachao's greasy face, and said in a soft but firm voice: "I don't have much patience. You only have one chance. Now that you have used it up, you should say something I want to hear. Otherwise, I think your skin and flesh should be as good as roast duck, which is quite good for slices!"
