Chapter 62 Someone is dead! Zhou Tianci is filled with fear and regret
Xiao Ying did not leave immediately, she had to monitor the fire.
She wanted to burn down Manxiang Garden, but not the servants inside or the people living nearby.
Manxiang Garden covers a large area, with an alley more than two meters wide on one side, so there is no need to worry about the fire spreading there.
On the other side was a family building a brick house, and she only needed to keep an eye on that place.
As for the guys, they basically live in the backyard, so it will take a while for the fire to burn out, so there's no need to worry too much.
"There's a fire! Oh no! Manxiang Garden is on fire! Help! Come quickly!"
The first person to discover that Manxiang Garden was on fire was the night watchman. He was shocked to see the raging fire in the restaurant and immediately shouted loudly.
The servants in Manxiang Garden were soon alarmed. When they saw what happened, they all turned pale with fear.
"What are you still standing there for? Go get some water and put out the fire!"
One of them spoke loudly, and Xiao Ying felt that the voice sounded familiar. He looked and found that it was Chen Tong.
But at this time, Chen Tong was in a rather disheveled state, wearing only his inner clothes, and his hair was disheveled.
Yu Qian was nowhere to be seen. As the shopkeeper, he should have his own residence.
Soon, neighbors came to help.
The fire basically only burned the lobby floor and did not spread completely. However, the thick black smoke and dust seemed to cast a shadow over the entire town.
More and more people were alarmed, and a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ying saw Yu Qian's figure.
Yu Qian was also in disarray, one of his shoes was missing, and his eyes were full of despair.
Not long after, another young man in his early twenties came hurriedly. Yu Qian immediately reported respectfully, but the man raised his hand and slapped him.
Xiao Ying raised his eyebrows. It seemed that this person was the mastermind behind the scenes, the young master of Manxiang Garden.
She looked at him carefully for a few times and memorized his appearance. If she had the chance, she would continue to take revenge.
"Ah...someone's dead...someone's dead!"
As the fire was getting smaller, a scream suddenly came from inside and Liu Laizi's body was found.
This was a big deal. Zhou Tianci didn't have time to settle the score with Yu Qian. He ran over with a grim face, and Yu Qian followed him in panic.
But they didn't dare to enter the building. They waited until the fire was completely extinguished before they went in cautiously.
The town mayor Liu Cong was also alarmed and hurried over with a few people. He was obviously also very frightened.
Liu Laizi's face had been burned and blurred, but it was still possible to tell that he was an adult male.
After checking again and again, the guys at Manxiangyuan found that Liu Laizi was missing. This man happened to be of similar build to Liu Laizi, so they basically confirmed his identity.
But why did he die here? What caused the fire? It remains a mystery.
Because a murder had occurred, the people in the town were in panic, so Liu Cong went to the county town to report the case overnight.
Only Zhou Tianci and Yu Qian had unpredictable expressions, as if they had guessed something?
"Young Master, I remember you sent Liu Laizi to Chenjia Village..."
Yu Qian was trembling as he spoke. If Yang Huai was an accident, then this time was solid evidence.
It must have been done by Madam Xiao!
"That damn bitch! She must have done it!"
Zhou Tianci was furious, but there was deep fear in his eyes.
How did that woman do it? Could she be a hidden master?
But this place is not close to Chenjia Village. How did she manage to kill someone and carry the corpse to the town in such a short time? And how did she get into Manxiang Garden and set the fire?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little regretful.
He should have stopped when the other party threw the ring to Yang Huai. That was a warning from the other party.
But he was very unwilling to accept it. He felt that his face was being stepped on by the other party and trampled on several times.
Just a village woman, just a village woman...
"This matter is known only to you and me, and must not be known to anyone else!"
He suddenly stared at Yu Qian and warned him sternly.
"Don't worry, Master. I will never tell anyone even if I die."
Yu Qian looked solemn, and naturally knew how serious it was.
Not to mention that they have no evidence to prove that Xiao Ying did it, even if they had evidence, they cannot make it public.
Otherwise, how to explain Liu Lai Zi setting fire to Xiao Ying's house?
If we trace it back to the source, it will definitely involve him and the young master. As the young master, he absolutely cannot have such a stain.
Zhou Tianci clenched his fists unwillingly. It was the first time he had suffered such a big setback.
A mere village woman actually killed two of his men without leaving him any evidence.
He must avenge this grudge!
Xiao Ying, whom he was thinking about, also left the town when Liu Cong left. This lesson must have been enough for the young master to remember deeply.
She knew that the other party would not let it go because of his vengeful character. It was just right that she could kill him as well next time.
It was not yet dawn when she got home. She stretched and went back to her space to practice, as if she had just gone out to look at the moon.
Indeed, for Xiao Yingying, who had cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage in her previous life, this could only be regarded as a trivial scene. In her previous life, she had killed countless demons and evil cultivators and walked through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
This little thing is not worth mentioning at the moment.
The entire Chenjia Village was still asleep, completely unaware of how thrilling and exciting things had happened before.
After breakfast, Chen Xinghai wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Today was the fourteenth, and he had to go to the town to find Xinghe.
I had clearly thought of it a long time ago, but I didn't dare say it out loud for fear of being blamed by my mother.
"We don't have enough jars at home. Xinghe, go to town and buy fifty more."
Unexpectedly, his mother took the initiative to speak and assigned him a task.
"Okay, Mom, I'll go to town and buy a jar!"
Chen Xinghai was immediately overjoyed. He led the buffalo out of the cowshed, hitched it to the ox cart and set off immediately.
What Xiao Ying wanted was to ask him to go to the town to listen to the news and see what was happening at Manxiang Garden.
Chen Xinghai naturally didn't know about this. When he arrived in the town, it was only four quarters past noon, but everyone in the town was talking about Manxiang Garden.
He listened in confusion and opened his eyes wide.
There was a fire in Manxiang Garden last night and someone was burned to death inside?
For some reason, his first reaction was to think of his mother. Could it be that his mother did it?
But he quickly shook his head to dismiss the thought. How could he think of his mother as such a person?
With doubts, he went to Manxiang Garden for some unknown reason, and found that there were many people gathered there, all talking curiously.
"I heard the man who died was called Liu Laizi, the coachman of the young master's family. His face was so badly burned that it was a blur. It was really scary."
"This kind of thing has never happened in our town, and we don't know who the murderer is."
"Who knows? I heard that Liu Laizi's neck seemed to have been twisted and then thrown into the fire. This clearly means he offended someone he shouldn't have offended."
"Suck... breaking the neck, the murderer must be quite strong. I don't know what grudge or vengeance he has."
"Do you think it might be Weixianju? After all, the two restaurants have been competing with each other for many years."
"Don't you dare say that? Weixianju is the mayor's property. Are you suggesting that he kill someone?"
"Well...I didn't say that..."
The more Chen Xinghai listened, the more surprised he became. Liu Laizi? He seemed to be the man who had come to the village to pick peppers before.
Broken neck?
His expression changed slightly and he thought of his mother again.
