Chapter 218 It’s a pity, all the fire was burned
The hustle and bustle outside the window is still there, and the sounds of shouting and selling can be heard.
There is a market on East Main Street.
The officials sent by the imperial court to manage the four cities have performed their duties. When the new official took office, he made great progress and ordered that stall fees be halved on market days.
This makes the farmers who set up stalls very happy, so they come over early with poles.
There are sellers of fish, chickens and ducks, buyers of vegetables grown at home, handicrafts... There are all kinds of things, which is dazzling.
In addition to Ze County, many people will come to the market to join in the fun, and they happened to buy what they lacked at home today.
After all, both parties are satisfied with the market price.
But in the private room of the teahouse, the air was stagnant.
He Xuran was still sitting there, motionless.
When I wish the police to catch the police, I don’t have too many flowery words to embellish it, and I don’t add anything to it.
Just a simple narrative.
Word by word, when connected together, they become a sharp knife.
There were obviously no scars on He Xuran's body, but the pain made it difficult for him to breathe.
The girl who obviously deserves to be pampered and pampered when she grows up, doesn't know how much suffering she has endured.
I wish the detective has reached this point and can’t stop talking.
"When the words came out of the mouth of a little girl, I was heartbroken."
"Before the younger one took the child back, he asked her to kowtow to the pile of ruins."
"My lord, you don't know that half of the people in Ze County were talking behind their backs, joking that Yu Jingcheng didn't care that he didn't have a son, but he regarded his daughter as his treasure."
Some of the gossip reached Captain Zhu’s ears.
It was said that after Hu Yuniang gave birth to Yu Tingwan, her body was so damaged that her stomach had not moved for all these years.
It is useless to say that a woman cannot give birth, no matter how good she looks. The Yu family is in good condition, so Jingcheng might as well find another one secretly.
"Some of the words are hard to hear."
"They also said that the couple didn't know how to educate their children. That's why it cost money to raise her and she is so delicate and unruly."
"By chance, the little girl heard what she said, and she rushed over and started arguing with them."
"The momentum is so great. I scolded them for being poor and meddling in other people's own business. It's annoying that I only know how to live here and there all day long. If you have this free time, why don't you go back and cook a meal for the children at home, so that she doesn't have to come back and carry it around? The rice bowl is eating at the door, and everyone is as dirty as a beggar, staring at the meat in her bowl.”
"She even scolded those women for giving birth to a series of sons. Unfortunately, the men were incompetent, and the rice barn at home was at the bottom. It can be seen that the husband and wife are well matched, and they only care about having children and not raising them."
He Xuran:?
It was hard to imagine that the little girl in Detective Zhu's mouth was the same person as the Yu Tingwan he had met.
How much suffering did you encounter before your temperament changed drastically?
He only met Yu Tingwan twice.
The first time in the execution ground.
For the sake of her sister-in-law who died tragically, the girl stayed calm and collected without any panic. She got closer and closer to figure out the whole story and exposed his ugliness without saying a word.
Even he has to think highly of him.
The second time was at the Wei family.
He actually went there that time for Yu Tingwan.
It's a pity that I couldn't say a few words.
The girl didn't seem to want to talk to him.
But it's understandable. After all, men are in poor health and are already overworked, so how can they keep their spirits up?
Thinking of this, He Xuran frowned.
More or less dissatisfied.
Wei Shen's body...
But he was not dissatisfied.
What's more, after his investigation, it was Yu Tingwan who was willing to marry.
"When I was young, I was a police officer. I saw that girl from the Yu family many times when I was patrolling various places. She looked like a doll in a New Year picture, with gold and silver jewelry hanging all over her body, and she kept thinking about her."
< br>
"Once she was targeted by a little thief, but before she could make a move, her father kicked him away with his quick hands and eyes." At that time, many people were also frightened.
Who doesn't know that Yu Jingcheng is a fierce and vicious person, so everyone avoids him.
"That little girl is good, obviously..."
Detective Zhu made a gesture with his hand.
"Just go that high."
"I walked over on my exquisite embroidered shoes. I asked the little thief on the ground who was curled up and rolling in pain, if she should be sent to the hospital."
Having said this, he felt much more relaxed and couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"Kindly send him to have his brain checked."
"The little girl pointed at Yu Jingcheng behind her again and said proudly that she didn't go out to find out what my father did. He dared to set his sights on her and seek death."
I wish the detective: "He is so fierce, but he turns to his father and smiles sweetly. He said his father is handsome, but he is even more handsome when he kicks people. It makes Yu Jingcheng's face glow."
As he spoke, his smile weakened.
"What a pity."
"That fire burned nothing."
He didn't notice He Xuran's expression.
"Logically speaking, it's a bit strange for the Yu family to go out of business for no reason."
"Sir, you don't know, there is a stream right in front of Yu's house. Neighbors are looking for utensils to fill the water, but the fire is getting stronger and stronger."
"Gives people a feeling..."
His face became solemn: "Even if it rains heavily, it can't prevent this disaster from happening."
It will only add fuel to the fire.
"According to what the neighbors said at the time, things were going well not long ago, and there were people passing by the door of Yu's house. In the blink of an eye, there was only a loud explosion, and the fire in Yu's house was out of control. You can still hear the fire inside. People ask for help.”
But who dares to go?
Only Yu Jingcheng, who had just returned with dishes, was there.
"At that time, the county magistrate of Ze County was at the time of promotion."
People are all self-interested, so how can they be willing to have cases pile up and affect their promotion?
"Nothing fishy could be found, and since the death of the person had a bad impact, the Yu family fire case was hastily closed."
He Xuran's eyes became colder and colder.
He even felt cold all over.
In fact, if you really count, he is later than Yu Ting and not a few years older.
It's just that he was born late due to his seniority.
But the journey is smooth with good clothes and good food.
Being able to reach the position of censor does not depend on the management of his elders, but on his ability.
The Gu family... Who did they offend?
Is it a coincidence, or is there an ulterior motive?
I'm afraid it's the latter.
Otherwise, why would my brother-in-law send someone over to protect him?
He Xuran thought, Taifu Gu must know something. This matter was serious, and he couldn't wait to put things in order in Zexian County, and then go back to Beijing to find the Taifu to tell him everything.
A letter has been prepared. After the confidant sends the list of disaster relief cases to the palace, he will find him at the Taifu's residence.
But no matter what the grudge is, it is really vicious to plot against a newborn baby!
The fire in the Yu family, was this an attempt to... eradicate the root cause?
Detective Zhu was immersed in his own thoughts: "But the conditions at home were really not good at that time. There were several children to support, and there was a blind old lady above. Although I only had one more pair of chopsticks, I couldn't support them."
As time passed, he became worried.
The mother-in-law was always considerate to the little girl, but the queen complained that he took her home without saying a word.
It doesn't matter if your family is rich.
But who in every household doesn’t tighten their belts and live their lives? You can't suffer the consequences of your own children by raising others.
