The soil was being transported in too slowly, and the fire seemed to be out of control.

As they watched the small house collapse before their eyes, sparks flew far away from the ground, and those who could not escape were burned and screamed in agony.

The entire mansion was covered in a large cloud of black smoke, which made people cough continuously.

Marquis Guanyong came over in person, his face sullen, and announced immediately, "From now on, everyone will temporarily stay in the mansion until the imperial guards arrive to take over. They can leave after verification."

Shen Li chuckled twice.

Even the imperial guards were mobilized, this was truly a pleasant surprise.

She looked at the three masters hiding in the crowd. In just a short while, they had changed out of the clothes of the Marquis's servants and put on the clothes of the Chu family's followers. Together with the followers from other mansions, they pretended to be rushing to put out a fire and ran back and forth to help carry soil.

When they heard that no one could leave, there was a hint of panic in their eyes, but they quickly concealed it.

They were trying to escape just now, but someone gave the urgent order to guard all the exits, so they couldn't escape.

Later, they wanted to escape from the top of the wall, but they didn't expect that there were people standing on several rooftops, looking around, and guarding every corner and wall of the mansion tightly, making it impossible for them to escape.

So, the three of them pretended to look for tools everywhere, picked up the hoes and joined the team of digging and transporting soil to help put out the fire.

Their every move was under Shen Li's eyes. Shen Li thought for a while and took out the medicine prepared by Qiluo from her purse.

Taking advantage of the situation, she quickly slipped out of the space and appeared in front of the three people. She sprinkled the powder on their faces and disappeared in a flash.

The three of them were stunned.

Damn it.

I clearly saw with my own eyes that Shen Li drank the drugged tea and walked into the burning house in a daze.

No one could escape from a fire like that and still be completely unburned.

Oh my God, that person just now was definitely not Shen Li. The real Shen Li must have been burned to death.

In broad daylight, could I really be seeing a ghost?

Amitabha.

I was dazzled just now, definitely dazzled.

The three of them were filled with shock and confusion, and before they could even communicate, they began to feel dizzy.

Ahhhhh!

Suddenly, a series of exclamations came from the crowd fighting the fire.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw three followers who were jumping up and down and screaming as if they were bitten by something.

"There's a ghost, someone come, ahhhh."

"I didn't do it. Don't come looking for me. Help."

"It's not me, it's the master. The master said he would burn you to death. Don't look for me, ah ah ah."

Xiao Chenze arrived just in time, his eyes narrowed when he saw this scene, and then he waved his hand, "Tie him up."

Xu Yang led his men to rush over, but he didn't expect that as soon as they got close, the three men took up their stances and started fighting. They were very skilled in martial arts, and every move was fatal.

Unfortunately, once they used force, the medicinal power in their bodies quickly entered their bloodstream. As they were fighting, the three men suddenly stopped, covering their heads and shouting.

"Ms. Shen, please spare my life. It's not me who wants to kill you."

"Go find the master. I didn't burn him to death."

"Miss Shen, ahhhh, spare my life."

Everyone was shocked.

Xiao Chenze felt a lump in his chest and was almost suffocating.

When he heard the words "burned to death", his heart suddenly ached and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, spilling onto the white snow on the roof and leaving behind dots of bright red plum blossoms.

Xu Yang took the opportunity to lead his men to capture the three people.

Guan Yonghou was the first to react, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Quick, clear the fire, quick!"

With the help of kerosene, the house was burned to ashes.

The crowd of people who were fighting the fire rushed forward, and with a nervous mood, they quickly dug up the pile of ashes that had not yet burned out.

Sparks were still popping, black smoke still wafting. The house was made of wood to begin with, so how could there be any trace left? Only clumps of ashes in the middle, blown everywhere by the wind, making people cough.

Xiao Chenze had already jumped off the wall, rushed in, grabbed a long pickaxe and started digging it up with all his might.

"Grand Prince, Grand Prince," Guan Yonghou and Xu Yang also ran in and pulled him out with all their strength, "There is still some fire, Grand Prince, be careful."

"Get out of the way." Xiao Chenze pushed them away and dug through the ashes like crazy.

One pile, two piles.

Suddenly, someone cried out, "Oh my God, Bones."

Everyone rushed to look, and Xiao Chenze took a few steps forward and rushed into the crowd.

Before him was a half-burned corpse, smoking. In some places, only bones remained, while in others, flesh was exposed, the flesh emitting a charred smell. In others, fragments of clothing could be vaguely discerned, giving some idea of ​​what the person had worn in life.

No one dared to move.

Xiao Chenze squatted down gently and reached out to touch the pile of bones, but was stopped by Xu Yang.

Marquis Guan Yong went over personally and looked under the corpse.

A jade pendant fell, covered in dust. Then, a jade hairpin and a pearl flower wrapped in gold thread were picked up from the head of the corpse.

When Xiao Chenze saw these things, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, as if something had pierced into the gap in his breathing. Every time he took a breath, his heart felt like it was being torn apart by pain.

His body swayed, and he reached out his hand tremblingly, took the things, and stroked them gently.

What a familiar look.

Just now, when Shen Li was talking to him, she was still wearing them. In the blink of an eye, they appeared in the ashes, under the corpse.

This is not true, it cannot be true.

Shen Li is a teleporter, and she has so many magical weapons, enough to protect herself.

There was no way she would be left alone and burned to death in this shabby house.

It is even more impossible for him to come over and enter the room alone.

He gritted his teeth and tried hard to tell himself to stay calm.

calm.

At this time, a maid was brought up trembling, crying, "I saw Miss Shen coming here with my own eyes. I even asked her where she was going and whether she wanted someone to wait on her. She said she felt dizzy and wanted to get some fresh air, and didn't want anyone to follow her. I was worried, so I stood there for a while longer, and I saw her coming in this direction with my own eyes."

Another silly-looking little girl was brought up. She was in charge of sweeping the place. She also cried, "I wasn't lazy. I was ordered to move a table. When I left, I saw Miss Shen enter the house. I saw her unsteady steps and thought she was drunk and wanted to go in to rest. I was also puzzled why there was no one to serve her and why she came to such a shabby place. I asked her what was wrong, and she told me to get out of here. Woo woo woo, everything I said is true."

Xiao Chenze's heart was cut open by the blade again, and blood was dripping.

He tried hard to suppress the discomfort, but as he did so, a fishy-sweet feeling suddenly came over his throat, and he spat out a mouthful of blood onto the corpse in the ashes.

Shen Li floated in the air, watching the scene quietly, feeling indescribably sad.
