Chapter 509: I set the fire. Are you happy?
"Village chief Zhao tried to escape but was caught by the arriving constable. So everyone in Zhaojia Village knew about their grave robbing." Xu Qing reported to Lin Mo respectfully.
Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, "Xu Qing, sure.
We also prepared detectives in advance to catch them off guard."
Xu Qing lowered his head slightly, without any smug look on his face. He just shook his head lightly, "Young Madam, please don't blame me for doing this unnecessary thing."
His idea was simple, which was to make their crimes known to the world, and of course not let them escape.
Otherwise, when the Lu family dragged the others to see the officials, he would have thrown them out directly.
He just wanted the people in this village to know what kind of person their village chief was.
Tomb robbing is a lack of virtue!
"How could that be?" Lin Mo laughed, "You did a great job."
Lin Mo looked very interested.
Li Xianlie went from being disappointed to thinking he had recovered what he had lost, and then back to being disappointed again. I guess his spirit must have collapsed. It's quite interesting.
Tsk tsk, they thought that if they caught Village Chief Zhao, they could recover the huge amount of money that was lost.
I didn't expect that after all the hard work of catching the person, it was all in vain and the huge sum of money was still missing.
This gap is not a small one.
He should be anxiously trying to find the thief now, but will he start to suspect me?
Lin Mo was looking forward to Li Xianlie coming to see her.
Xu Qing, “…”
He forgot that the young lady just liked to watch the fun.
After gathering his thoughts, he continued with a sullen face, "After learning that Village Chief Zhao and his men weren't the thieves who stole his money, Li Xianlie went on a rampage in Zhaojia Village, forcing them to hand over the thieves.
When I came back, they were having a huge fight.”
Lin Mo shook his head, picked up the ginseng tea beside him, and sneered, "A desperate dog will jump over the wall. I'm afraid it will cause resentment among the people of Zhaojia Village."
When Village Chief Zhao came back, Li Xianlie did a lot of good things.
Now that they are forced into a desperate situation, it would be strange if no one came out to resist.
"Young Madam is right." Xu Qing nodded. "Zhaojia Village will soon elect a new village chief. The first thing the new village chief will do is to get Li Xianlie to move out of Zhaojia Village."
"He didn't move." Lin Mo was sure.
How could Li Xianlie move before his goal was achieved?
If he has achieved his goal, he will leave on his own without these people chasing him away.
Who would want to live in a tent if they have a big house to live in?
"Yeah." Xu Qing nodded. "It was a big fight before, but now the people of Zhaojia Village have backed down. Li Xianlie has temporarily controlled them because of the five hundred taels from before."
Grasp?
Lin Mo chuckled. How could he force Li Xianlie to do something desperate if he was so easily controlled?
To be honest, she was a little tired of being secretly watched all the time.
These bugs hiding in the dark should be driven out and caught in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo looked at Xu Qing, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly:
"Can you intensify the conflict between them?"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "I can try."
Lin Mo smiled, "Then I'll leave it to you. It would be best if they could start a fight, so that Li Xianlie won't be able to sit still.
Only when you can't sit still will you make a move, and once you make a move, your flaws will show."
Xu Qing nodded and turned to go down.
Lin Mo sat in the study with a smile in her eyes. It seemed that she had to make another trip.
She looked down at her belly and touched it:
"Little thing, mother will take you to do bad things.
Your mother hasn't done anything bad lately and she's feeling unwell. Let's go do something bad together."
After saying that, he stood up and walked slowly towards the yard where he lived.
Before closing the door, she naturally instructed that no one was allowed to disturb her sleep without her permission.
After closing the door, he used the space to quietly leave.
For the rest of the day, which continued into the evening, Zhaojia Village was in chaos.
Either the chicken is missing from the east house or the duck is missing from the west house. Finally, the evidence appeared near the Zhao family ancestral hall, and it happened that Li Xianlie and his family were eating roasted chicken.
When he came to Li Xianlie, he also encountered endless troubles. All kinds of things disappeared, causing him to have a mental breakdown.
Someone was sent to look for it, and it was discovered near a villager's house.
Finally, a quarrel broke out between them, and then they went back to rest.
late at night.
Li Xianlie was woken up in the middle of the night by a cloud of smoke.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a raging fire and was almost scared to death.
Damn, the fire broke out.
Because he was excited, he accidentally took a puff of cigarette.
cough!
Li Xianlie rushed to the table in embarrassment, wet his sleeves with tea, and immediately covered his mouth with his sleeves.
The fire happened just outside the door of the tent. Li Xianlie frantically tried to find a dagger to cut through the tent and escape, but the more panicked he became, the more he couldn't remember where the dagger was hidden.
At this time, footsteps and shouts of "put out the fire" were heard outside the tent.
Then, a cutting sound was heard from the back of the tent.
Butler Li's voice rang out immediately, "Master, hurry up and get out of here."
…
When Li Xianlie came out, the tent he was living in was half burned.
The tents nearby were fine.
So the arsonist intentionally wants to burn himself to death
Because of this speculation, Li Xianlie was so angry that he trembled all over.
With a gloomy face, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Who set the fire? Did you catch them?"
Butler Li and others lowered their heads and shook their heads.
One of the guards raised his head and said, "Master, when I came out, I saw a man running forward, and I chased after him.
But when we chased him, he turned into a house and disappeared.
That house is the home of Zhao Dabao, the current head of Zhaojia Village, so I didn’t dare to chase him.”
"So it was Zhao Dabao who set the fire?" Li Xianlie's eyes were terribly gloomy.
The guard hesitated, "Not sure.
The figure looks somewhat similar, but I haven't seen the other person's face, so I'm not sure."
hehe!
Li Xianlie laughed in a low voice, but this laughter seemed particularly hideous and eerie in the middle of the night.
The fire on Li Xianlie's side woke up many people in Zhaojia Village.
But no one came up to help put out the fire. Instead, the villagers of Zhaojia Village had a look of gloating on their faces.
Seeing that there was nothing for them to do, they all yawned and went back to sleep.
Just burn it, it’s not your stuff anyway.
Li Xianlie looked at the people who were leaving one after another in the distance and his laughter stopped abruptly.
"Go, fetch me all the torches we have, and the kerosene."
Although Butler Li was puzzled, he still asked someone to get it quickly.
After the torches were brought out, Li Xianlie immediately picked up one of the torches and placed it on the burning tent.
The torches were quickly lit.
He looked at the flames on the torches that were swaying left and right in the night wind, his face grim:
"Light the torches and burn down the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall."
When these words came out, Butler Li was shocked.
"Master, calm down. This is something you can't do. Burning someone's ancestral hall will create a mortal feud. You're the type who won't stop until you die."
Butler Li was panicked. If the fire really happened, would they be able to leave Zhaojia Village tomorrow?
These people in Zhaojia Village are not easy to deal with when they are angry.
"Why, am I, Li Xianlie, afraid of these unruly people?" Li Xianlie stared at Butler Li with a sinister look on his face.
"You're on their side?"
I was almost burned to death by them, and now you want me to let them go?
How is that possible?
If they dare to set themselves on fire, then I will destroy their roots, so that their ancestors will not have to worry about the evil things they have done in the underworld.
Li Xianlie was already filled with anger.
Butler Li quickly shook his head, "Master, I don't have any.
I'm just afraid that we might anger the people in Zhaojia Village. They're so numerous and powerful, and we only have so few people, I'm afraid we can't protect you."
Li Xianlie's expression softened a bit, and he sneered:
"I expect you to protect me?
Then I might as well rely on myself!
Bring kerosene and torches, and follow me."
As he spoke, Li Xianlie walked towards the Zhao family ancestral hall with a menacing look.
Seeing this, the others could only light torches and follow.
But everyone's faces were so long, it was all over, they were going to become mortal enemies.
Li Xianlie poured kerosene on the doors and windows of the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall, and when the torch approached, the fire suddenly broke out.
Then he stepped back and threw the torch in his hand directly onto the roof.
Looking at the fire that was getting more and more intense, a cold light flashed in Li Xianlie's eyes. This is the consequence of offending me.
The fire grew more and more fiercely with the help of the night wind.
By the time the people of Zhaojia Village discovered that their ancestral hall was on fire, the fire had already spread across the entire prairie and was impossible to extinguish.
The people from Zhaojia Village who came over, especially the older ones, beat their chests and wailed:
"What a sin! What sin did the Zhao family commit? Why would a perfectly good ancestral hall burn down?"
"Woo woo, ancestor, your descendants are unfilial, so you will be burned at the stake."
"It's arson. It smells like kerosene. Who is this wicked person who set fire to our ancestral hall? Quick, look around you. Anyone who smells of kerosene is the arsonist. We must catch them."
…
The people in Zhaojia Village became agitated, sniffing around like dogs, looking for the culprit of the arson.
Li Xianlie remained motionless, admiring his own masterpiece with joy in his eyes. The fire was truly beautiful.
A fire burned away all the anger in his heart. Let it burn, the stronger the better.
So that these ungrateful people won’t forget their lesson.
You take advantage of him, but he is secretly targeting me. Do you really think you have no temper?
Li Xianlie turned his head and looked at the people from Zhaojia Village who were glaring at him, grinning:
"I was the one who set the fire. Are you happy?"
