Farming and reading family

Chapter 253 A thorough investigation is necessary

The three people turned around and saw flames rising from the Qian family's yard.

Chen Qing subconsciously wanted to rush over to put out the fire but was stopped by Chen Ke and Chen Jie.

"Brother, this is destiny." Chen Ke looked solemn.

"Yes." Chen Jie was a little excited. "Even God couldn't stand it anymore."

Chen Qing looked anxious. Although they had a grudge against Qian Gaosheng, they couldn't bear to see Qian Gaosheng burned to death like this.

At this time, the gong sounded and the night watchman shouted for help.

"No!" Lu Hao looked at the growing flames. "Several people were drinking at Qian's house today. How come no one came out?"

Upon hearing this, the three Chen brothers looked towards the Qian family's mansion.

"Let's go quickly." Lu Hao said and turned around and ran.

Chen Qing still wanted to save people, but was pulled away by Chen Ke and Chen Jie.

As soon as the four people left, the firefighters came running over, but unfortunately the fire was too big and they could not go in to rescue people.

The four people did not return to Chen's house, but ran to Lu Hao's house, all of them were still in shock.

Chen Qing calmed down and looked at Lu Hao: "What did you mean just now?"

Lu Hao looked at Chen Jie.

"I came to see him this afternoon and asked him to go to Qian's house to scout the place. The two of us planned to put Qian Gaosheng in a sack and beat him up." Chen Jie said directly.

"You..." Chen Qing was speechless. "Brothers fight tigers together. Are your second brother and I so unworthy of your trust?"

"My eldest brother is upright, and my second brother is a scholar. They will definitely not let me do this." Chen Jie muttered.

This is true. If they knew that the third brother was going to put a sack on someone and beat him, they would definitely stop him.

"You said there are several people in the Qian family?" Chen Qing looked at Lu Hao.

Lu Hao nodded: "At least five or six."

"Then why didn't anyone run out?" Chen Qing looked doubtful.

"Maybe he's drunk?" Lu Hao guessed, "But it's still early, he wouldn't be that drunk."

Chen Qing didn't know those people very well, but he thought none of them could escape from such a big fire. He looked at Chen Jie solemnly: "Don't tell anyone that you have been to the Qian family's door."

"I'm not stupid." Chen Jie thought that Qian Gaosheng's promotion was retribution.

"Your second brother and I may be called to the county government office for questioning tomorrow. Just say that you have been at home the whole time and know nothing." Chen Qing's expression was solemn.

"Why?" Chen Jie was nervous.

"Your second brother and I asked the night watchman how to get to the Qian family." Chen Qing never expected such an accident to happen.

"Are you sure no one saw you when you went to Qian's house?" Chen Ke looked at Chen Jie to confirm.

Chen Jie looked at Lu Hao. He was not familiar with He County, but he was familiar with Lu Hao.

"No one should have seen it." Lu Hao was not completely sure.

The three brothers of the Chen family looked at each other and what had happened.

"But Qian Gaosheng has done a lot of evil things and offended many people, and many people want to take revenge on him." Lu Hao said cautiously.

"Why not admit it openly?" Chen Ke looked at his eldest brother. "If the third brother and Lu Hao were seen going to the Qian family, it would be even more difficult to explain if we continue to hide it."

Chen Qing thought about it and nodded, then turned to look at Lu Hao: "It won't implicate you."

"I didn't do anything in the first place." Lu Hao pretended to be relaxed.

The three brothers of the Chen family went home after discussing the matter. They originally thought of not letting their family know about it, but such a big thing happened and the government came to look for them, it was impossible for their family not to know about it.

Yang heard the noise and came to open the door for them: "I think there is a fire somewhere in the city."

"Have my parents come out yet?" Chen Qing was worried.

"No." Yang was a little worried. "You..."

"We are fine. The third brother went to have fun with Lu Hao, and we just happened to pass by the place where the fire started." Chen Qing evaded the question.

Yang heaved a sigh of relief: "Then come back quickly."

Chen Qing originally wanted to ask Yang to go back and tell her family, but then he thought that his parents still needed someone to take care of them, so he gave up.

The next day, as soon as the city gate opened, Lu Hao rushed towards Baotou Village on his horse.

He pretended to be stupid in front of the Chen brothers, but he did not dare to be careless about his work. He stayed up all night watching the fire at the Qian family and reported it to Gao E early in the morning.

Gao E went to the fields to check on the growth of vegetables in the morning. She heard the sound of horse hooves and looked up to see that it was Lu Hao.

But Lu Hao didn't see her, so he rushed straight to Chen's house and then hurriedly found her.

"What's wrong?" Gao E was also walking back.

Since there was no one around, Lu Haokan lowered his voice and gave a brief account of what happened last night.

"I inquired and found out that everyone in the Qian family was burned to death last night. This matter must be thoroughly investigated." Lu Hao felt that this matter was not simple.

Gao E didn't know how to explain this. People who have no ability and don't want to suffer any loss can only suffer losses everywhere.

"You go back and keep an eye on it. If anything happens to my husband and the others, come and tell me." Gao E said calmly.

Lu Hao felt that Sister Gao's reaction was too calm. Even if someone heard about this kind of thing on the street, they would go over to listen to the excitement. Why did she think it was no big deal?

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Lu Hao said and left.

"Wait a moment." Gao E and Chen Ke went back together. "I'll get you some silver. If you need information from the government office later, don't be too stingy."

Lu Hao likes Sister Gao’s generosity.

After seeing Lu Hao off, Gao E walked back and forth in the yard.

He Tangchun is not a corrupt official, so the three Chen brothers are definitely fine. The key is what happens next?

What would the old couple of the Chen family do after experiencing such a thing?

She was walking around in the yard and almost bumped into Peng Can who came in from outside.

"Open your eyes." Gao E frowned and looked at Peng Can.

Peng Can wasn't angry either: "Is it Lu Hao who's back?"

"Do you have something to talk to him about?" Gao E looked at Peng Can.

"The horse he rode away is very suitable for breeding and we can't miss the season." Peng Can said excitedly.

Gao E felt that Peng Can had nothing but these animals in his eyes: "I'm talking to you..."

She suddenly stopped talking halfway through, and it seemed that livestock was not impossible.

"What?" Peng Can was still waiting to be scolded.

"Go and buy some livestock now, the more the better." Gao E said directly.

"There's nowhere to put it." Peng Can said this, but he was very excited in his heart.

"It's such a big yard. You can buy as much as you think is suitable. Just wait, I will get the money for you." Gao E said and went into the cave.

Peng Can has already started thinking about what to buy.

Gao E gave Peng Can some silver and let him ride a horse, which made Peng Can flattered. He said he would definitely buy some good livestock.

Gao E didn't care much about what kind of livestock she could buy. She knew that as long as the silver fell into Peng Can's hands, it would all be exchanged for livestock.

Chen Qing and his companions were summoned by the yamen in the morning, which scared the old couple of the Chen family. Especially after they learned that Qian Gaosheng was burned to death, they also suspected that it was done by their third son.

However, they thought that the third brother just wanted to vent his anger for them and accidentally burned Qian Gaosheng to death.

"Tell me what you're fighting about every day?" Chen Fansheng scolded Jiang. "If you hadn't insisted on going to Qian Gaosheng, would such a big thing have happened?"
