Chapter 370 Losing both the wife and the army
A guard suddenly shouted outside the door, "All the money we brought is gone!"
Liu Qing also thought of something, and immediately turned around and went next door!
Liang Huanyu quickly went to the room next door where the luggage was placed. Except for some clothes and utensils, all the gold, silver, and banknotes disappeared!
His expression was very grim: "Where are the guards?"
"Young Master!"
The two guards were forced in, their bodies trembling, and they begged for mercy: "Master, please spare us! When we woke up, we found that the door was already opened!"
Liang Huanyu gave each of them a vicious kick. "Keep it down. If you can't get any clues, you don't need to save your life!"
"I have been wronged!"
"Sir, please spare my life. I really didn't steal any money!"
For Liang Huanyu, the loss of money was more painful than not killing Xu Yan!
Liang Huanyu looked at the room that had been completely cleaned out and was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. He strode out of the yard and walked towards the next door.
The fire in Chunyuan burned very fiercely, but because it was discovered in time, it burned only the places it should have burned, and not a single blade of grass was affected where it should not have burned.
Liu Qing stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the bodies being carried out, his brows furrowed.
You can't tell what he looks like at all.
"What did you find?"
Liang Huanyu's suppressed voice sounded from behind.
Liu Qing looked carefully and didn't react for a moment.
Liang Huanyu suddenly slapped him hard, and Liu Qing pushed the man to the ground as if by reflex. After seeing who was hitting him, he quickly let go, helped the man up and apologized.
"Sir, I didn't mean to do that. I thought I was being attacked!" Liang Huanyu was really upset by his half-hearted explanation, but remembering that he was his aunt's man, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Where are those four people?"
Liu Qing pointed at the four charred corpses and asked, "Sir, do you think they are members of the Xu family?"
Liang Huanyu was puzzled, but still turned around to look. He was immediately frightened by the unrecognizable and burnt corpse, and quickly turned away.
"Go back and tell me!"
Liu Qing refused to leave, "Let's talk about it here!"
Liang Huanyu endured the discomfort and said, "All the silver has been stolen. If they die, they die. It has nothing to do with me. Send someone to chase the thieves!"
Liu Qing had a bad guess in his mind: "Maybe..."
"Young Master, Young Master..."
Suddenly, a group of people rushed in from outside, led by Shan Cong, followed by several people from Duke Xu's Mansion, and went straight to the charred corpse.
Liang Huanyu quickly hid aside, then glared at Liu Qing, and the other party left.
On the way back to the courtyard, Liu Qing suddenly stopped, frowning and said, "Young Master, please go back first. I still have things to do!"
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the charred corpses that were being carried away.
Seeing this, Liang Huanyu shouted directly: "Stop right there!"
Liu Qing paused, turned around and sighed, "My Lord, the people I suspect are the four guards I sent earlier!"
Liang Huanyu's mouth dropped open in surprise. "Didn't you say it was foolproof? How come they're the ones dying now?"
Liu Qing: "That's why I have to confirm it! If the deceased has nothing to do with our people, then the money will be easier to negotiate!"
Who else but our own people can enter Xiayuan without disturbing anyone?
Liang Huanyu hurriedly urged: "Then what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go!"
The night deepened until it was light. Liang Huanyu could no longer hold on and fell asleep.
When he woke up again and learned that Liu Qing had not returned yet, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Wealth!"
he shouted immediately.
Fugui trotted over and waited carefully: "Sir?"
"Go and see if anyone from Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion is still in Xiayuan!"
Fugui didn't even leave before whispering, "When Guard Liu went to check the body, his men followed him!"
"Oh no!" Liang Huanyu's face changed drastically. "They must have worked together to steal the money!"
Fugui was incredulous and said, "No...right?"
Liang Huanyu snorted coldly: "Of course not. Go find Prefect Wang first and quickly surround the city walls. And here..."
He was just about to bring all the servants from Huaxiang Tower here when he realized that this was the Luo family's territory.
First suppress the anger in your heart: "Go, report to the police!"
Fugui quickly sent someone to the prefectural yamen. After Prefect Wang learned the identity of the visitor, he immediately sent someone to the Luo family to deliver the message.
Master Qin said, "Sir, I heard there was a fire at Huaxiang Tower last night, and four people died. It seems that Duke Xu's eldest son was one of them!"
Magistrate Wang paused, a look of horror on his face: "Madam Zhu also knows?"
Master Qin nodded slightly, "It must be Madam Zhu who sent someone to deliver the message!"
Magistrate Wang felt his legs go weak and he almost fell to the ground.
etc.
"What's the expression on the face of the person coming here?"
Master Qin was confused: "It looks quite normal!"
Upon hearing this, Magistrate Wang's legs no longer weakened. He straightened his clothes and his expression instantly became calm.
Master Qin:?
"Bring the body back first and hand it over to the coroner for examination. As for Young Master Liang..."
Magistrate Wang was in a dilemma because he didn't want to offend anyone.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself!"
At this time, Xu Yan, who was rumored to be dead, moved directly to the top floor of Huaxiang Building.
Just from pushing the door open and seeing the eldest son safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately!
"Master, let's go to Jicheng!" he said directly, "Boss Xu is guarding there, it's definitely safer than here!"
Xu Yan's eyes darkened. "Do you think that hiding in the city gate will save you from everything?"
Dan's heart was also heavy. "But the enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It's better for the eldest master not to go out recently!"
Xu Yan laughed sarcastically and said, "Wait a little longer, there should be news soon!"
Shan was puzzled in his heart, and just as he was wondering, his number one subordinate rushed over: "Master, we found it!"
Just from looking at his excited expression, I asked seriously, "Who is the murderer?"
