Hui An was recording the confessions and handed them to Zhang Liu:

"Let him sign it!"

He Wang knew very well that Zhang would not forgive him if she knew about this, but he could not care less at this moment and signed and sealed the contract reluctantly.

"Okay, let this guy go, and choose two more to set on fire."

So, He Wang and several other core members were driven together to set the fire.

The firewood doused with kerosene soon caught fire in the three dilapidated storage rooms in Xiyuan.

Hui'an was well prepared and immediately organized people to put out the fire.

By midnight, everyone knew about it.

Because of the conflict that happened during the day, the wife of Marquis Jingnan wanted to send people to burn them to death.

These people even brought knives, and it looked like they would chop them to death if they couldn't burn them to death.

Such a vicious thought made everyone extremely angry.

Chen Qingzhu glanced at everyone and said:

"The Marquis of Jingnan Mansion has gone too far. I think we must report this to the authorities and have them severely punished by law. We must also make this known to everyone and expose the Marquis of Jingnan Mansion's shamelessness!"

The matter of public opinion propaganda can be left to Captain Li’s people.

To report to the government office, people from Cihang Temple must go in person.

"Who is willing to go down the mountain and report to the authorities?"

The so-called government office faces south. If you don’t have money, don’t come in.

Common people in this era had a natural fear of entering the government office. Moreover, the one they wanted to sue was the powerful Marquis of Jingnan Mansion.

Many people feel insecure.

Hui'an, Huiyun and Huiming all stood up at the same time.

"Master, I am willing to go!"

The three of them said in unison, their eyes firm and fearless.

Afterwards, many other female Taoists stood up and expressed their willingness to go.

Chen Qingzhu's eyes swept over the three people who stood up first. Hui'an wanted to stay on the mountain to take charge of the situation.

Huiming is a promising talent with good fighting skills, but he lacks in calculation and strategy.

Huiyun is a little weaker in terms of fighting power.

The two of them complement each other, and Huiming can also take the opportunity to train him.

"Huiyun and Huiming, go!"

So, the two of them set out in the middle of the night with a confession, and early in the morning went to the Nandu government office to beat drums and file a complaint.

At the same time, Zhang Liu's men were beating gongs and drums and shouting loudly in the crowded area near the government office:

"Something bad has happened! Something bad has happened! The wife of Marquis Jingnan has sent people to set fire and kill people, and she has been reported to the Nandu government office!"

People all love to watch the fun, especially since this matter involves the wife of a famous and powerful family in Nandu.

Immediately someone came up and asked:

"What? The wife of Marquis Jingnan committed murder and arson? Where did she burn? Who was the victim?"

"It's a Taoist temple called Cihang Temple in the east of the city!"

"Go to the government office quickly. The victim has filed a complaint with the government office in Nandu!"

"This is a big deal, let's go and take a look!"

In this era, if you are involved in a lawsuit, you will not be able to succeed if you don’t have someone to support you in the government office.

As a devout pilgrim, the wife of the Tongzhi was naturally not forgotten by Chen Qingzhu.

The street outside Tongzhifu is also a key publicity location.

So, Mrs. Yan was quickly informed of the news by her maid.

"Ma'am, it's time for fun!"

A woman's reputation is very important nowadays. It would be a great amusement if a noble marquise was involved in a lawsuit and sued to the government office.

The maid told Madam Yan this interesting story with the intention of currying favor.

Madam Yan had just finished her work and was drinking her tea leisurely when she asked casually:

"What fun?"

"Someone went to the Nandu government office to sue the wife of Marquis Jingnan, saying she set fire and killed someone!"

Mrs. Yan then became interested:

"Is there such a thing? Do you know the origin of the victim?"

"It seems to be a Taoist temple, its name is something like... Cihang Temple, yes, Cihang Temple!"

Madam Yan was so shocked that she stood up suddenly:

"What?! Cihang Temple!"

"Yes, it is Cihang Temple. Madam, is there anything wrong with Cihang Temple?"

Except for the three masters and the servants that Madam Yan had brought to Cihang Temple before, everyone else in the mansion was unaware of the connection between the mansion and Cihang Temple.
