Chapter 894 One Woman and Two Husbands
Jiang Lianzhu hummed, "That's not ruled out. How did the pine oil lamp on the wall turn over?"
Xiang Zuo added, "It was... a jailer who dozed off and accidentally knocked it over. There were often fights and quarrels in the cells, especially among the female prisoners. It's said that the jailer was sleeping in the middle of the night and heard someone quarreling. He got up in a daze and knocked over the oil lamp, which quickly started a fire..."
"Where's the man who knocked over the lamp?"
"Burn to death!"
Jiang Lianzhu continued, "Then he burned to death. Who saw this?"
"The other guards guessed it because the fire started in the duty room over there."
Jiang Lianzhu pondered for a moment. "Do you think there might be bats or something in the cell? What if a bat knocks over the oil lamp and burns the sleeping person to death?"
Xiang You and Xiang You looked solemn. It was possible that bats might appear in the cell at night.
Maybe there are many more.
The cell is dark, and bats, snakes, insects and the like are not uncommon.
"Bats? Wife, what did you discover? Do you mean that someone instructed bats to set fire deliberately, causing the fire and rescuing Yao?" Liao Jiu said solemnly.
"Well, if that's the case, then it must be someone from Baihua Tower who is secretly making trouble!" Based on her intuition, Jiang Lianzhu didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen.
Liao Jiu said to Xiang Zuo and Xiang You, "Then you should go investigate thoroughly tomorrow! Baihua Tower has a new owner. This new owner has a strange style of behavior and can control flying birds. We must not take it lightly."
Move left and right.
Xiang Zuo was puzzled. "Master, Princess, why did Baihualou want to save Yao? Is Yao also an important figure in Baihualou? She is just a village woman..."
Jiang Lianzhu sorted out her emotions. "I don't know the specific reason. But if I think about it carefully, there are some unusual things about Mrs. Yao. The talisman on Madam Zhou was cast by her. She said she just prayed for it. Where can an ordinary person get such an effective talisman? And how did her son Liao Yan get appreciated before and even get a good job? These are all unreasonable and need to be thoroughly investigated..."
Liao Jiu showed an admiring look. "My wife is really thoughtful. We need to investigate this thoroughly. If the Yao family was really rescued by the people in Baihualou, then they must be closely related to Baihualou. Wife, I will go to the prison tomorrow to see my father and get his information. Maybe my father, Liao Changming, knows something too."
Jiang Lianzhu nodded, "Well, let's investigate Baihua Tower this time. Combined with the clues provided by the snake woman, we should get to the bottom of it. Let's start with the entrance here, Yao's family. Baihua Tower attacked our Chengfeng in the wild. They attacked people from the back, so we can't find any useful clues. Yao is imprisoned in prison. To rescue her, we have to go through many checkpoints. I don't believe that there is nothing left. Besides, the Yao family has lived in the capital for so many years. If we really investigate carefully, we will find something. Don't forget, Yao is also from Shamen County!"
"Okay! Wife! Let's start with Yao's case and investigate Baihualou!" Liao Jiu also highly agreed and asked Xiang Zuo, "Where are Yao's children, Liao Yan and Liao Wan, now?"
"Liao Wan is currently in the Jiaofangsi, and Liao Yan has been exiled to the frontier."
"Take Liao Yan back to Beijing for investigation, and take Liao Wan under control. Also, find out the few underage kids..." Liao Jiu ordered.
Write down everything on the left and right.
Jiang Lianzhu added, "We also need to send people to investigate the wealthy and powerful areas near the palace, and the servants of the major families. We have to do this secretly, and think of a suitable excuse. We can't cause panic, and we can't let the news leak out. The New Year is almost here, so it would be best if we can completely uncover the Baihua Tower before the New Year, so that the people can have a peaceful New Year."
"Okay. I'll do it." Xiang You agreed.
Liao Jiu went to the prison to find Liao Changming to ask for clues, went to the left to investigate the aftermath of the dungeon fire and the Yao family, and went to the right to investigate the powerful area of the capital. Jiang Lianzhu also planned to take action.
Everyone, concentrate your firepower to find Baihualou.
We can no longer allow them to be so arrogant.
The division of labor is completed.
Jiang Lianzhu suddenly remembered the group of bats she had seen in the back mountain where Liao Jiu was in seclusion.
"Liao Jiu, were you disturbed by bats during your retreat? I also saw a lot of bats in the place where you were in retreat."
Xiang You also remembered, "Yes, I was the one who drove away those bats. There were never any bats normally, but that time, to prevent anything bad from happening, I killed them all."
Liao Jiu recalled, "No, I didn't feel anything. When I was in seclusion, I blocked my five senses and was unaware of anything happening in the outside world. Were there any bats? Were they inside the cave or outside? When I came out of seclusion, I lost control of my strength and blew up the cave, but I didn't see a lot of bats."
Jiang Lianzhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Then it should be okay! It could also be due to the weather that so many bats gathered that day. We were just too nervous."
Liao Jiu smiled and said, "That's because my wife cares about me. I'm very touched..."
I can't stay here any longer, turning left or right.
"I'll take my leave."
As they walked left and right, only Jiang Lianzhu and Liao Jiu were left.
The atmosphere became inexplicably awkward. Liao Jiu looked at Jiang Lianzhu with burning eyes, making her feel uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but take a half step back.
"Wife, why don't you want to be close to me after coming back from your trip to Darong Country? Have you become more powerful and look down on your husband?" Liao Jiu asked half-jokingly.
Jiang Lianzhu said sternly, "How could that be? Nonsense! You are now at the eighth level of martial arts, how could I look down on you? Besides, even if you are only at the seventh level, I, Jiang Lianzhu, am not that kind of person. What does the difference in realm cultivation level have to do with you? Don't overthink it."
"Or is there any other reason? Have you met someone better than me? Wife, let me tell you, I will not accept a woman with two husbands!" Liao Jiunoyu said in a tone.
"What are you thinking! That's not happening!"
Jiang Lianzhu was a little annoyed.
Just at this moment, a servant came outside to report that Mrs. Zhou was here!
Jiang Lianzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Liao Jiu and I pushed the door open and went to see what was going on.
Madam Zhou came into the palace carrying a box of food.
He laughed and said,
"When I returned home, I saw the roses grown in the greenhouse blooming. Thinking about how Wuyang loved eating fresh rose cakes when he was little, I had some made and brought them over for you to try."
When the little dumpling Nianbao, who was playing with Xue San in the yard, heard about the delicious food, she jumped over happily.
"Thank you, grandma! Grandma, I love rose cakes, too."
Jiang Lianzhu wiped the sweat off her forehead, "Little greedy cat!"
Mrs. Zhou smiled and had the food box brought up. "Here, you try it. Lianzhu, you try it too. The rose cake is very fragrant."
