Chapter 74
Wuerchi's face and body were covered in black, gray and black mud, making it hard to see his true face clearly.The thief is also normal.Li Fuyin shouted to the thief: "What is your name, why did you set fire to it?"

The thief who was captured was Qin San. The lady of the Wu family asked him to do this big business, but she paid him 1000 taels of silver and promised him that no matter if he succeeds or fails, he will be saved. It's safe and sound, after this is done, send him away.Even if he is captured by the government, as long as he doesn't talk nonsense, he can be released safely.

Qin San was confident, and said: "The villain's name is Qin San, a surname from Shouchun County. He heard that the Lantern Festival in Fucheng is lively and beautiful every year, so he wanted to come to Fucheng to watch the lanterns. He lived in a small inn in this alley and saw the lights. In the middle of it, I felt unwell, thinking that there were still two days for the lanterns to be exhibited, so I went back to the inn to rest first, but just happened to encounter water here, so I wanted to go in and save people, the conscience of heaven and earth Ah! What I splashed was water, and I don’t know how this muddled man could be regarded as kerosene when he was in a daze! I failed to save people, but turned into arson, what a great injustice! Please, my lord, look into it! Restore my innocence !” After saying that, he grabbed the ground with his head and shouted again and again that he was wronged.

Wu Erchi said angrily: "Are you still sophistrying? The barrel I snatched from you clearly smelled of kerosene, and there was a little bit left when you and I were fighting, and it flowed to the place where the fire started, and the flames Dasheng, you are still denying that it is water? Also, if you came to save someone, why did you come in without asking me, and then beat me up, that posture is to put me to death, how can you explain this?"

Qin San pretended to be eager and said: "What are you talking about? I smelled the smell of kerosene. I also smelled it in the fire scene. At that time, the smell of kerosene was everywhere in the fire scene. Why did you say it was the smell in my bucket? The bucket still I brought it from the well of your house. Also, you said that I would beat you when I saw you. The conscience of heaven and earth, it was you who beat me when I saw me. Come to put out the fire, come to stop? That’s why I resisted desperately, who knows that I’m not your opponent, and that’s why you caught me.” Anyway, no matter what buckets are now burned to ashes, there is no certificate to take, and there are no witnesses, Qin San then I'm not afraid of talking nonsense.

Wu Erchi listened to Qin San's sophistry, and finally accused him of being an arsonist. However, speaking has never been his specialty, and he woke up after being drugged. , shouting in the mouth: "No, no, that's not the case."

Seeing this situation, Li Fu Yin asked: "Is there anyone else from the Hu family who came forward to testify?"

Hu Yongqiang stepped forward and knelt down and replied: "Master, our family is not at home, only the young girl is reading and writing in the study. If there is anyone who can testify, it is probably only the young girl, but now the young girl is still in a coma. Unable to go to court."

Li Fuyin said: "A neighbor here said that when the fire broke out, there was a weird man with a head and a face all over the fire who rescued a girl from the fire and sent her to Dr. Jiang's house in this alley for treatment. I don't know who this person is. Are you done? Can you come forward and testify?"

Xiu Ji often stood out of the crowd, because there was an express rule in the Thai Dynasty that scholars do not need to kneel down when they see an official, so he bowed to Li Fuyin and said: "Reporting to the master, it is the late student."

Li Fuyin said: "Where is the family name? Report the name."

"I am a native of Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong Road, and I am studying at Shushan Academy."

"What's the relationship with the Hu family? Who was the person you rescued in the fire scene? Did you see the arsonist at the scene?"

"Wansheng and Hu's parents are classmates and friends, and the family has some business contacts with the Hu family. It was the daughter of the Hu family, Hu Xiuer, who saved Wansheng. But at that time, Wansheng was eager to save others, so he didn't find the arsonist at the scene." Xiu Jichang It is true that I have never seen it, and I have no reason to give false testimony, so I can only tell the truth.

Qin San refused to admit it, and the two are still suspicious of each other, and there is no witness to testify on the spot, only Wu Erchi confessed, which is insufficient evidence, Li Fu Yin saw that there was no result in the interrogation, and it was too late, So he decided to take Naqin San and Wuerchi back to the government office and interrogate them tomorrow.

Before leaving, he called the Hu family up again, and gave them good words of comfort, so that the Hu family cheered up, regrouped, and continued to organize the business, and praised the Hu family as an upstart in the business world, and one day they would surely become wealthy businessmen Wait no more.

Li Fuyin left with all the yamen servants. It was already the early morning of the second day, and the neighbors all went back to their own homes. The old man's body was still lying at the door, covered with a piece of broken grass brought by the neighbors. Xi, Wu Zuo came to examine the body, and said that there was no soot and black stains in his mouth, and there was no sign of struggle on his body. It is presumed that he fell into a coma before the fire, but he did not suffer. He is an old man alone, and he has no family. Hu's own responsibility.

Not long ago, Hu's house was full of joyful songs and laughter, the wife was virtuous and the son was filial, and there was a lot of people's voices.The factory is still full of traffic, and everyone admires it. Now the bustling scenery is gone, and there are only ruins and ruins. The black water poured by the water dragon team to put out the fire is flowing everywhere. The homeland is gone, and there is only sadness in the air. spread.

It's all like a nightmare!Just hope to wake up soon!
This is the hard work of their family. They got up early to sell shrimps before dawn, ran around, farmed and raised fish with their backs facing the loess every day, and later opened a shop, bought a house and built a factory. There is no place without their hard work. sweat?This is the harbor of happiness for their Hu family, the source of food and clothing, and it was suddenly destroyed like this.

Mr. Hu Yongqiang looked at the desolate situation and felt sad. He endured the hot tears that rolled down his face all night and gritted his steel teeth.

Xiu Jichang and Hu Kang stayed at Dr. Jiang's house until noon on the second day, when Xiu'er woke up, everyone carefully moved her to a soft couch, and carried her to Xiu's courtyard, where she was in the West Wing. live temporarily.

Although Xiu'er had woken up, her sanity was still not clear, so Qin San specially infused Yang Fei'er with enough medicine, and drank the decoction for several days before gradually recovering.The severely scorched skin peeled off and peeled off one after another.Fortunately, no scars were left.

In the past two days, all the acquaintances came to visit one after another.The suppliers of all the materials for the Hu family, shopkeeper Li Baotian and Zhou Guanshi also came to visit when they heard about the disaster that had happened to the Hu family.Doctor Jiang came twice in the morning and evening to observe the recovery of the disease.The Xiu family was suddenly filled with people coming and going.Hu Yongqiang only let the visiting guests sit in the main room of the west wing.After all, it is not a happy event.It was in other people's homes again, everyone sent gifts and favors, stayed for a while, and then left.

After waking up, Yang Feier lay on the bed, enduring the pain all over his body, but the thoughts in his mind never stopped.

Why would someone set fire to it?What was this arson aimed at?who?Who is it that wants to destroy the Hu family?Or to destroy her?The factory building has been completely burned down, leaving only a piece of flat land, what will happen to the orders received?

There are thousands of ways to kill people, why did you choose the most dynamic one?This person is either confident and has something to rely on.Either he hated her or the Hu family so much, he needed to let the Hu family experience the most painful way of death, so as to calm his heart.But why use drugs again?Or when the fire is about to break out, make it impossible for people to run and call for help?
But Yang Feier asked himself since he moved to Fucheng.The Hu family did not have any enemies.Those pastry shops that declined due to Phil Tiantian's digging are now benefiting from the establishment of the biscuit factory, so they don't hate her so much.Who could it be?

On the tenth day after Yang Feier woke up, he went to the government office in a soft sedan chair. He met Qin San, but he didn't know him. However, this does not mean that he was the arsonist of the fire. After repeated interrogation, Qin San finally only admitted that he saw someone's house on fire and wanted to go in and steal something. He was charged with attempted robbery while taking advantage of the fire, and he was released after being hit with ten boards.A case has been filed, and we will investigate again slowly.

As far as the Hu family is concerned, the most important task at present is the reconstruction of factories and houses. Yang Feier changed his previous prudence and frugality, and re-purchased a carriage. It was still a white pony, but it was bigger than the original The color of a horse is purer white, stronger, and of course, the price is also more expensive.The car body is covered with ice-blue silk cloth, covered with a layer of tung oil coating that prevents rain and sun, and goes out with Hu Yongqiang every day to look at the ground. All the labs were gathered together. When I first came up with this idea, I talked about it with Hu Yongqiang and Mr. Hu, and even Hu Kang and Xiu Jichang who came back to see him every day at noon. Although everyone agreed, they were also worried about the same thing.

This arsonist, who is hiding somewhere, can set fire for the first time, or continue to do evil. Xiu Jichang said: "The government is still investigating and collecting evidence everywhere. I believe that the arsonist will not dare to act rashly for the time being. , the case will be solved in a short time. It will take a long time to find land and build a house, so you can follow your own plan for the time being."

Everyone analyzed the situation at this time, and finally agreed to rebuild first, and wait for the investigation of the arson case at the same time.

It is said that Wu Jinci spent a lot of money, but Qin San only burned two houses of the Hu family. This Qin San is not good at doing things, but she is a boudoir, so there is no other way. Since Qin San has let the Hu family see her appearance, she will no longer be able to do things for her. If she is caught again, things will be difficult to deal with. , I have no choice but to let him go far away according to the previous agreement, and we will not communicate with each other from now on.

The 1000 taels of silver was Wu Jinci who sold a lot of jewelry to make up the amount. Afraid of being found out by his family, he and Xiaoxia directed and acted in a play. There were various things, and then Xiaoxia and Xiaoxia made a mess in the inner room. Finally, he and Xiaoxia went to Mrs. Wu's courtyard for a while, and when they came back, they shouted that they had been thieves. A lot of valuable jewelry was lost.

Losing things is the next thing. How could this thief just climb over the wall and enter the hospital, and went straight to her daughter's boudoir, which shocked Mrs. Wu. She quickly changed the yard for her daughter and strengthened the defense. The original nursing home was beaten with dozens of boards He was expelled from the Wu family.I sent a letter to my husband in Kyoto to explain the situation, but within a month or so, Wu Jinglian and his family all moved to Kyoto.

On the 29th of the first lunar month, a postman suddenly sent a letter to Yang Feier, but it was written by Zhang Fuzhen to Yang Feier. The letter said that he had arrived in the capital and everything was settled. Please don't miss it, but he misses it very much. Yang Feier, leave your address and ask Yang Feier to reply as soon as possible.

Yang Feier's reply was concise and clear: On the [-]th night of the first lunar month, the house and factory were burned down by fire, the old man Chuqiu was killed, and no other family members were injured or injured.
