Song of Peach Blossoms: Alluring Princess

Chapter 125 Natural and Man-made Disasters
The heavy rain began to decrease on the second day, and the fine raindrops continued, so slippery and sticky that even people felt moldy in their hearts.The rainy season also officially arrived after the heavy rain, which added many difficulties to the already severe disaster relief.

Seeing the influx of refugees affected by the surrounding disasters into the capital, even Sixi sighed that the life of beggars is not easy.Many people in the city set up shantangs to give away porridge and rice, the housekeeper asked Su Tiange what he meant.

"Then arrange a porridge stall in the name of Miracle Doctor Xue, and let Sixi go with him. He can tell that those people are real refugees. Temporarily close the shop for now, and don't sell anything except going in every day to sort out the goods." At this time, if you maintain the original price, some people will say that you will lose your money, and if you lower the price, you will lose money and close the business altogether.

"Is it the same for pharmacies?"

"Same."

Su Tiange packed up his things and took Lilac to the carriage to go to the appointment. The girl Mei Xiang from Dongsi Hutong said that she had met Fang Zhongan at the intersection.Counting by counting, Fang Zhongan and Qiao Yue have been married for almost two months, but they have not heard of any movement from Chen Wan's side. Based on her understanding of Chen Wan, it is impossible for Chen Wan to see Fang Zhongan has a new man and forget the old one. people.

Dongsi Hutong is a very special place. Many people who like to hide their charms in golden houses or do hidden things like to buy a house here, so it is not impossible for Fang Zhongan to buy a house here to raise Chen Wan.

It's a pity that she couldn't see these two people being so comfortable. Su Tiange asked the carriage to wait at the entrance of the alley. It was said that Fang Zhongan would come to Dongsi Alley every day when he went to court.It's just that I didn't see Fang Zhong'an after waiting for an hour today, but I did see Chen Wan.

If she hadn't gathered her cloak to reveal her face when she reached the entrance of the alley, Su Tiange wouldn't have recognized her for a while.Chen Wan's steps were cautious and vigilant, Su Tiange opened the curtain to watch her walk around the corner, and asked the coachman to slowly drive the carriage to follow.After Chen Wan walked to the corner, she also got into a carriage, and then the carriage drove away. After the driver followed for a while, Su Tiange found that the other party was going around in circles, and decisively stopped the carriage.

The other party may have found out that he was being followed, so he was suspicious. What Su Tiange couldn't figure out was what Chen Wan was doing behind Fang Zhong'an's back.

It is a good thing to have a secret, and the betrayal and impact will be the strongest when it is revealed, so since Chen Wan wanted to hide her, she kept it a secret for the time being.

The drizzle of the continuous drizzle also makes people feel hairy. Suji Silk and Satin Shop has been closed for the past few days, except for the occasional shopkeeper who comes to check the warehouse. The warehouse is usually closed.This day, the shopkeeper was late because of the delay. When the silk shop was almost at Xushi, he just took out the key when he noticed something strange. There was a slight smell of kerosene wafting through the crack of the door.

"Who's in there!" the shopkeeper yelled, and there was a thumping sound from the room.The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and was about to push the door, but the door was pushed open from the inside and knocked him staggeringly. There were three black shadows running past the shopkeeper holding things from left to right. It was obvious that the shape was the fabric on the cabinet.

The shopkeeper threw himself violently and tugged the last man's legs and fell to the ground, "Come on, the thief is caught!" The shopkeeper shouted at the top of his voice. Being restrained, he couldn't move.

"Come back and help." When the man shouted, the two people who had already run in front turned around and punched and kicked the shopkeeper until the shopkeeper let go, and the three walked away holding the fabric.

"Come here, come here..." The Xunjie official who usually can walk around in a stick of incense seems to be busy today, and the shopkeeper only feels that he is lying unconscious in the cold rain and has not expected anyone to come.Boom, it may be his illusion, why is the shop on fire in this heavy rainy day.

"Hey, look, her shop was burned down for no reason. Is God punishing her?" The people who watched the excitement didn't say anything good.Su Tiange stood at the door of the shop holding an umbrella, the roof had collapsed, exposing the scorched beams.The warehouse at the back burned even worse, and almost all the silk fabrics were burned, leaving behind patches of ashes like black charcoal.

The shopkeeper was still in a coma. In addition to being injured, he was drenched and had a high fever. It was obvious that this was a premeditated and organized arson.

Su Tiange turned around with a cold face, Ding Xiang followed behind and asked in a low voice: "Girl, do you want to report to the police?"

"Of course I have to report to the official."

It's just that the reporter is on the one hand, and she wants to find out who is behind the scenes. After all, she can also say that she has too many direct and indirect enemies in the capital, and she cannot be targeted indiscriminately.The efficiency of the government was very high, but the three little thieves were caught the next day, all of whom were refugees who had recently fled to the capital.Speaking of which, the three of them had a chivalrous spirit of robbing the rich and giving to the poor, and distributed all the fabrics they had snatched back to others.

Su Tiange doesn't care about these, stealing is stealing no matter what the purpose is.What she didn't expect was that the three confessed to stealing and beating others, but firmly denied that they set fire to the shop.

"Shopkeeper Su, these people are a bunch of thugs, and they can tell a few truths. If you want me to say that this is all done by them, the only reason for not admitting it is to reduce punishment." This is Jing Zhaoyin's reply.

Su Tiange didn't believe this excuse at all. Her people were beaten up and burned, but she didn't even meet a street patrol official.

The Xuncheng Censor's surname is Li, and after further investigation, it is natural to find out the family of the side concubine Li of Yanwangfu.It was just a strange thing for her, she had never even met this side concubine Li, where did this gratuitous hatred come from.

But since he offended her, she naturally has no reason to spare him.This Li Yushi has a very favored concubine. In the past, he liked to go to the theater to listen to operas. Whenever he came and went, he flirted with a younger generation who sang operas.Probably because of emptiness and loneliness, the two of them had an affair, so naturally they kept this matter from Li Yushi.

Until one day, the concubine's room was followed by Li Yushi to the opera garden, where they ran into their affairs.In a moment of anger, he killed the young man who sang an opera and locked up the concubine.What is known outside is that the younger generation left with the theater troupe, and the concubine has no plays to watch, so she doesn't go out every day.

A woman who eats fast and recites Buddhism every day is chanting sutras in front of the Buddha one night, when she suddenly sees an old man coming in with blood all over her body.The concubine was tortured by this every day, and suddenly she had the courage to escape from the mansion and go to Dali Temple to sue Li Yushi for murder and mutilation.

This matter became a topic of conversation in the streets and alleys for a while, Su Tiange just smiled coldly when he heard that Li Yushi was imprisoned, this matter is not over yet!
