Several people couldn't stop Jiang Lan, she insisted on going back to the house to catch the culprit of the arson herself.
Zhou Ning'an and others were trying to persuade her earnestly not to be anxious, to send someone to inquire about the specific details first, and not to leave the palace and return home easily, in case someone ambushed her on the way.
At this time, the Zhou family's servants hurried in after receiving the order and delivered the latest news.
"Madam, the arsonist has been caught, and the young lady has someone keeping him under close watch."
After hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Huan'an?" Jiang Lan frowned. "Isn't she not in the mansion?"
The servant lowered his head and repeated what Zhou Huan'an had said, "All of this was arranged by the young master. He knew someone would take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble, so he deliberately left a loophole for the thieves to slip through. The young lady also pretended to leave the house, just to wait for the opportunity."
Xia Zhixian stepped forward and asked, "Is anyone injured in the mansion? What happened to the ancestral hall and the Pillow Cloud Pavilion?"
"No one was injured, but the thief was very cunning and sent the young lady away. By the time he arrived, the ancestral hall and the Pillow Xia Pavilion had already been burned down for half." The servant replied respectfully.
At this time, Zhou Ning'an said, "As long as the person is fine."
"Don't tell me anything in advance, this kid makes people panic." She couldn't help but mutter a few words.
Jiang Ling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. No matter what, as long as the problem was solved, it would be fine.
But after asking around, they didn't even ask who the murderer was.
Jiang Ling stepped forward and asked, "Who is the arsonist?"
The servant nodded and said, "She is the legitimate daughter of Marquis Pingyang, Chang Shu."

At the same time, Xiyuan was in chaos. People from both sides were fighting with each other, and the furnishings in the garden had already been destroyed and turned upside down.
This group of men in black were very skilled. After a few moves, Zhou Jing'an realized that these were not Da Gan's moves, but Nanzhao's.
It seems that they have put all their cards on the table.
It's really a desperate move.
The court officials and their families present fled in all directions. Several very loyal ministers insisted on taking up swords to protect the emperor. Feng Yu was touched, but how could their hands, which usually held pens, be used to hold swords? He made a helpless gesture, and those ministers were escorted to a safe place by the guards.
Their target was Zhou Jing'an and Feng Yu. They were really panicked when they suddenly found that more than a dozen people were dressed the same as them, wearing the same masks and holding the same swords.
They had not expected such an accident, but it only lasted for a moment.
This group of people are all Nanzhao's executioners, and their daily work is like licking blood on the tip of a knife.
They possess absolutely powerful and deadly moves, as well as sinister and decisive methods. They have been strictly trained since childhood, have excellent qualities, and are solely focused on following the orders of their masters.
As a result, the guards who were sent out to resist first were soon unable to hold on.
They stared at Feng Yu and Zhou Jing'an, keeping their eyes on them as they dealt with the guards who pounced on them, gradually approaching.
Only at the beginning could one distinguish the two people, but then more than a dozen people dressed the same scattered around, all with the same moves and skills, which was quite dazzling.
Zhou Jing'an killed a man in black, his ears moved slightly, and the next moment he nimbly dodged a sharp arrow that was coming straight at him.
The sharp arrow came whistling and pierced straight into the rockery behind him, shaking off the stones and sand.
Zhou Jing'an looked in the direction where the arrow came from and his pupils shrank.
-
Feng Yu turned over and raised his legs nimbly, his robe fluttering, and with a raised hand he thrust his sword straight into the chest of the man in black.
He drew his knife swiftly, and blood gushed out.
"The eighth one." He muttered to himself.
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows proudly, "My skills haven't deteriorated at all, I must beat Bu Yan."
As he spoke, he was looking for Zhou Jing'an, but saw a man running out of Xiyuan, followed closely by a man in black clothes and wearing a mask.
Feng Yu only took two glances and recognized the person behind him as Zhou Jing'an.
The two of them ran out and disappeared. Feng Yu had a bad feeling and quickly ran after them.
Zhou Jing'an stared at the person in front of him with sharp eyes.
"Pei Yu!" he shouted.
The people in front ran out of Xiyuan, and the people outside had already hidden back home in fear. There were few people on the streets, but there were still many carriages left belonging to court officials and their families. They must have been left behind in their haste to escape.
The man slowly stopped and stood in front of a tall horse.
Zhou Jing'an also stopped, holding the hilt of the knife tightly in his right hand, and there was a horse on his left.
"Pei Yu." He called again.
The person in front smiled slightly and turned around.
If Jiang Ling were here, she would be able to recognize at a glance that this was the fake doctor Chi Yu.
He lowered his eyes and smiled, then leisurely raised his hand to remove the disguise on his face. The face hidden underneath was unparalleled in handsomeness, and his slender eyes showed his unruly and evil nature.
"Bu Yan, I really didn't teach you in vain."
Pei Yu straightened her scattered hair and curled her lips.
"You can recognize it at a glance."
When he actually saw this face, Zhou Jing'an's heart was undoubtedly stirred up.
He stared at Pei Yu closely and tightened his grip on the knife.
"I learned half of my Kung Fu from you. After two years, how could I not recognize it?"
Pei Yu smiled and nodded, praising you sincerely, "You've made progress. After all these years, you've become more and more like a pillar of society."
Zhou Jing'an couldn't laugh.
His relationship with Pei Yu can be described as both teacher and friend.
