Chapter 213 Right Next to Me
The more Qian Kun thought about it, the more frightened he became. He ordered his men, "Come here, bring Hu Wei here."
Hu Wei came to the prefectural yamen again and met Qian Kun.
When Qian Kun saw Hu Wei, he immediately took the initiative and slammed the gavel, shouting, "Hu Wei, you are so brave!"
"Sir, why do you say that?" Hu Wei looked at Qian Kun in confusion and said, "After I left your place this morning, I have been staying in the inn without going anywhere. Could it be that it is wrong for me to stay in the inn and not go out?"
"You didn't go out, but what about your men? They didn't go out either, did they?" Qian Kun asked while staring at Hu Wei's face, trying to see something from his face.
However, not only did Hu Wei stay inside, but even his officers stayed inside the inn. So, he looked at Qian Kun with a frank expression and said, "Your Excellency, except for me, who was brought to your side today, no one else has left the inn. If you don't believe me, could you send someone to investigate?"
"Really?" Qian Kun was still a little unconvinced. He felt that the fires in those three houses must be related to Hu Wei. Therefore, he took the initiative and wanted to control Hu Wei.
But who would have thought that they didn't even leave the inn.
If that's the case, then who set the fire? Could it be someone from the Yue family who left earlier?
But that wasn't right, he knew they hadn't entered the city since they left. Because someone was always watching them, if anyone had entered the city, he would have known about it long ago.
"Sir, if you can have someone investigate whether what I said is true or not, then it will be clear."
"I will investigate this matter thoroughly. However, before that, you must stay here until I have investigated it thoroughly."
"Sir, you've been talking for so long, and I still don't know what happened. Why don't you tell me?"
"Since it wasn't you who did it, it's useless for you to know. Come, take him away."
Hu Wei was taken away and locked up.
Fortunately, the place where he was imprisoned was not a big prison, otherwise he would definitely not do it.
"Keep an eye on him!" Qian Kun instructed, and then sent someone to investigate the cause of the fire in the three houses. Not only was he investigating, but the head of the family was also investigating.
But after investigation, they found that the fire started by itself and there was no trace of human intervention.
Such a strange thing made them feel scared. Thinking about the Bai family's proposal to burn down the inn today, they felt that this matter might be related to the owner of the goods.
So, they all complained to Qian Kun, but Qian Kun told them that those people had never left the inn.
"Sir, if it wasn't those people who did it, then what happened to the fire?"
"You ask me, but who should I ask? I think those people are a bit evil. You'd better be careful, or your lives will be in danger."
"This?" The three bosses looked at each other and didn't say anything for a long time.
As businessmen, they were rich, but they were also stingy and naturally didn't want to spend money if they could avoid it. Therefore, none of them took Qian Kun's advice to heart.
In their opinion, they are the local bosses, so how can they bow down to a guy from outside?
Therefore, after leaving the yamen, they gathered together again to discuss how to deal with Yue Fuli and the others and how to seize their goods.
But what they didn't know was that Yue Fuli was right next to them while they were discussing.
