Chapter 38 Burnt to death
If it weren't for Xiao Yanxi, they wouldn't have suffered such a misfortune.
And the third brother’s mother and daughter, they disrespect their elders and don’t distinguish between relatives and strangers, they deserve to die too!
Old Master Chen frowned even more tightly, feeling that something was amiss.
"Xinyu...Xinyu..."
Chen Xinyu suddenly fainted, and the eldest family was thrown into chaos.
Under a big banyan tree not far away, Xie Fanjin, Xiao Zhenzhen and others were yawning.
Xiao Yanxi looked at the fire in front of him with a gloomy expression and clenched his fists.
Bing Yi bowed, "Master, should we investigate?"
Xiao Yanxi sneered: "What are you investigating? What is there to investigate?"
There are only a few people around. If one of them takes action and he doesn't die, another one will take action.
"What about these bags..." Bingyi looked at the pile of Chen family members' bags on the ground and asked uncertainly, "Should we send them back?"
Mrs. Chen San said with a sullen face, "What's the point of sending them a gift? They thought we were dead, and they might be happy now."
Xie Fanjin said: "We saved their lives, so what's wrong with taking some money?"
Bingyi looked at Xiao Yanxi, and seeing that Xiao Yanxi said nothing, he took out all the silver and gave it to Xie Fanjin.
Xie Fanjin was somewhat incredulous when he saw the thick stack of banknotes and countless gold and silver.
"The Chen family is so rich, but they are still so stingy and unwilling to spend even a penny more. It's really interesting."
This money may not be all the Chen family’s assets. Maybe they still have banknotes or something on them.
It is a common knowledge that you cannot put all your eggs in one basket.
Bing Yi said, "The old couple only have the most money in their bags. The first and second wives have a total of fifty taels."
Xie Fanjin was delighted by this unexpected windfall, so he said to Bingyi, "Throw these clothes and other things along the path they must pass by."
She hesitated for a moment, then stuffed two silver notes of one hundred taels into Old Lady Chen's bag. After all, she couldn't let so many people starve to death. Even if they really had no money left, these two hundred taels would be enough to help them settle down on Jinsha Island.
At dawn, Wang Tiezhu and others became excited when they saw the ashes in front of them.
"Captain, they were all burned to death. So we don't have to go to Jinsha Island, right?"
Song Qiang: "Bullshit, why bother going there when we're already dead? Let's just go back to the capital and have a good time!"
Wang Tiezhu was somewhat pleased with himself, and gloated, "Xiao Yanxi, Xie Fanjin, you brought this upon yourselves!"
Suddenly, a cry was heard from behind. Everyone turned around and saw Wang Jiacheng sitting on the ground with a dejected look on his face: "Thank you, sister. Thank you, sister. I am sorry for you..."
Wang Jiacheng slept soundly last night and was called away by Wang Tiezhu. When he learned that the post station was on fire, he wanted to call Xie Fanjin and others, but he was knocked unconscious by Song Qiang with a stick. When he woke up, the post station had been reduced to ashes.
When he thought of Xie Fanjin and his group who were burned to death in the fire at such a young age, he felt really bad.
Wang Tiezhu stepped forward and kicked Wang Jiacheng: "Why are you crying? Their death has nothing to do with you. They probably don't even know your name. Come back to the capital with me!"
Wang Jiacheng's face was covered with snot and tears: "Second Uncle, there is such a deep hatred, why would it come to this!"
Wang Tiezhu was so angry that he wanted to hit Wang Jiacheng, but was stopped by Song Qiang and others.
Wang Tiezhu pointed at Wang Jiacheng's nose and said, "Use your brain and think carefully. Can I handle such a big fire?"
Wang Jiacheng was stunned. So, the person who set the fire was not Wang Tiezhu, but someone else?
"Who is that?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Wang Tiezhu felt a chill on his back.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
When Song Qiang turned around, he saw Xiao Yanxi's cold face and ran away in fright.
Others were also panicked and fled in all directions.
Xiao Yanxi walked slowly to Wang Tiezhu with a cold face. At this time, Wang Tiezhu was like petrified, standing there motionless with a look of horror on his face.
"Sister Xie!" Wang Jiacheng wiped away his tears and quickly got up from the ground when he saw Xie Fanjin in the distance. "Are you okay? Didn't you get burned to death?"
Xie Fanjin said, "Oh, I got up to go to the bathroom and smelled smoke, so I called everyone out."
Wang Jiacheng smiled foolishly: "That's great, it's great that you didn't die!"
"Don't... don't kill me..." Wang Tiezhu's terrified voice came. Wang Jiacheng was stunned. When he turned around, he saw the sword in Bingyi's hand against Wang Tiezhu's neck.
"Second Uncle!" Wang Jiacheng hurried over and explained to Xiao Yanxi, "Don't kill my Second Uncle. He didn't start the fire. He has nothing to do with it!"
Xiao Yanxi's face was as cold as frost, and his eyebrows were slightly raised: "Tell him whether this fire has anything to do with you."
Wang Tiezhu moved his lips and opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.
Wang Jiacheng thought of something and his body shook.
Wang Tiezhu slumped to his knees and said, "I said... I said... it was Master Zhu..."
"Zhu Fang?" Xie Fanjin recalled the day when they left Beijing and Zhu Fang made Xiao Yanxi crawl under his crotch in order to humiliate him.
Zhu Fang and Xiao Yanxi did have a grudge, so it was reasonable to say that the fire was caused by Zhu Fang.
Xiao Yanxi raised his hand, and Bingyi threw the sword aside.
Xiao Yanxi: "I'll spare your life this time, but if you don't behave again, I'll chop off your limbs and feed them to the dogs!"
Wang Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief: "I won't dare to do it again. Thank you, Master Xiao, for sparing my life. Thank you, Master Xiao!"
He said this, but he was not reconciled in his heart. He looked down at his broken finger and secretly bit his back teeth.
It's not that Xiao Yanxi showed mercy, nor is it that he was soft-hearted.
If Wang Tiezhu died, there would be people who would be more difficult to deal with than Wang Tiezhu. Now he just wanted to reach Jinsha Island as quickly as possible and get away from those people's sight.
On this side, the Chen family still thought that Wang Tiezhu and his group were also burned to death. Without the officials, they were free.
The Chen family had already found their own bags. Although their money had been taken away, there were still two hundred taels of silver notes in Old Lady Chen's bag. It must have been because it was dark and the thief didn't see clearly what had fallen.
"Mom and Dad, let's find a place with few people, buy a yard, and buy a few acres of good farmland. When the storm is over, we will do some small business and we will definitely be able to live a good life!" Uncle Chen began to fantasize.
Mrs. Chen said to Mr. Chen: "Old man, what do you think?"
Old Master Chen looked solemn, he always felt something was wrong.
Why were their bags stolen and the inn engulfed in fire once they were chased out?
Why did the lost bag suddenly come back with two hundred taels of silver? This is so weird.
The eldest family didn't notice Mr. Chen's worry, and they all had happy expressions on their faces. No matter what, it was better than being exiled to Jinsha Island. Even if life would be harder in the future, as long as the family was together and they didn't starve to death, they would be content.
Chen Xinyu was still a little overwhelmed. Xiao Yanxi was also dead. What should she do next?
An exiled pariah, who lives her entire life in hiding, can only marry someone casually, do laundry, cook, and take care of the family. Wouldn't that ruin her life?
Mrs. Chen Er was overjoyed. She took a long breath and said with full energy, "Great! We are finally free. I think those officials must have been killed, especially that Wang Tiezhu. He actually whipped me..."
She was stretching her waist and turned her head to see Wang Tiezhu's angry face.
Before Madam Chen Er could even scream, Wang Tiezhu whipped her hard with his whip: "Bitch, you're still hoping for my death! I'm going to beat you to death today!"
