The Lin family's clothing shop in Beijing was burned down in a fire. When Xuan Zheng arrived, Lin Chengyu was standing on the street, staring at the mess in front of him, lost in thought, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Although it was already late at this time, according to the customs passed down by our ancestors, people had to stay up all night, and many people had not yet gone to bed.

At this moment, a group of people were standing far away, talking one after another, saying all kinds of things.

When the fire first started, it was hidden by the fireworks. By the time someone noticed something was wrong, the fire had already grown very big.

When Lin Chengyu arrived, flames were shooting up into the sky, almost dyeing the entire sky a dazzling red.

The fire was too big. Although Lin Chengyu brought a lot of people with him, they were still unable to save the shop. Even several shops next to it were affected.

Fortunately, no one was injured.

Xuan Zheng dismounted and stepped forward, standing behind Lin Chengyu. His sturdy figure blocked him completely. There was murderous intent in his eyes, but his tone was gentle, like a different person. "I will find out the truth as soon as possible and make that person wish he were dead but unable to live."

"But at this moment, even if it was man-made, it also seemed like an accident." Lin Chengyu was very calm, and there was no trace of anger on his face. He seemed like an outsider, looking at the ruins coldly.

That person chose to set the fire today, wasn't he trying to turn this man-made disaster into an accident?

What a good plan.

Lin Chengyu's lips curled up slightly, and she had already guessed who was behind the scenes. "If you don't take the road to heaven, you will fall into hell."

Since the fire, rumors have been rife in the capital, saying that the Lin family must have done something evil that angered God, who then sent down divine punishment to punish them.

The rumor is very detailed.

Others said, "I heard that someone saw with their own eyes that day that a fireball as big as a head fell from the sky and smashed a big hole in the roof. The shop was full of cloth and clothes, and it caught fire immediately, burning the shop to the ground."

"That's impossible." Someone nearby was a little puzzled. "Didn't they say that the fire would only be discovered after it got bigger? How come someone saw the fireball now? You're just talking nonsense. Be careful that the Lin family will find out and accuse you of spreading rumors."

The man shook his head in disdain. The Jade Emperor hadn't even come down to earth yet, but he was already pretending to be so. "Bullshit, there are so many people saying this, and it's not just me. Even if the Lin family wants to sue the authorities, I'm afraid they won't be able to handle it."

He looked around, his eyes darting around, and lowered his voice, saying, "I heard that the Lin family doesn't dare to go out unless necessary, for fear of being punished by God again."

Someone asked: "What evil things did the Lin family do to shock the heaven and earth to end up like this?"

The man at the beginning said again: "Among these officials, there are only a few good ones. They are cruel officials, oppressing the people, and squeezing the people's wealth. They have forced countless civilians to death. It must be because the Lin family has done too many evil things, so the heavens are also angry and want to take charge of us poor people."

A man in the corner stood on tiptoe, listening very carefully, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't many people say some time ago that Lord Lin was a good official with integrity? Why is he being unkind now?"

The man at the beginning spat viciously, "He was just trying to gain fame and reputation, but no matter how much he planned, he could never hide it from God."

"Yes."

"rational."

......

Lin House.

Every shop of the Lin family has a shopkeeper, and above him is the chief shopkeeper.

The current head manager of the Lin family is named Chen Cheng, a servant of the Lin family. He is loyal and reliable, yet smart and agile.

After Jia Min married into the Lin family, she recognized talent and promoted Chen Cheng among many other sons of other families. Chen Cheng was grateful and was loyal to Jia Min and worked hard for the Lin family.

Chen Cheng's face was filled with anger, and he said anxiously, "Madam, our shop in Beijing is now deserted. If this continues, I'm afraid we will have to close it down."

Jia Min asked: "Can you find out the reason?"

"I've checked it out." Chen Cheng noticed something was wrong a few days ago, so he sent someone to inquire about it. This question made him very angry.

"Now everyone in the capital is saying that our family has angered God, so God punished us by burning down our shop. If anyone dares to go against God, he will definitely be unlucky, and may even be angered by God." He had a worried look on his face, and he really didn't know who his family had offended.

Jia Min slammed the table and said, "This is nonsense. Although our family is not a great philanthropist, we do charity every year to help the poor people. That guy has a rotten tongue. He harmed our family without any grudge. He deserves to go to hell."

Chen Cheng sighed in frustration, "This is really difficult to deal with now. In the first month of the lunar year, they all want good luck and don't want to be associated with our family at all. Even when they walk on weekdays, they will deliberately bypass our shop, as if we are some kind of scourge."

Jia Min also began to worry.

Lin Chengyu stepped into the room and said, "Don't worry, once we catch the thief, this matter will be easily resolved."

"I hope so." Chen Cheng was still angry and couldn't help cursing, "What a bastard! Our family has always been kind to others. Who is that petty-minded person who can't stand seeing our family doing well and has to disgust us like this?"

Lin Chengyu curled her lips and smiled, "Just wait and see, there will be a time when they will regret it."

Jia Min knew at a glance that he had evil intentions in mind, but she did not try to stop him. She was extremely angry this time. That dirty-hearted man deserved to be severely punished by this little devil.

If this matter is handled with great fanfare and then let go lightly, wouldn't it be telling others that anyone can control the Lin family?

By then, anyone who wants to step on it will come over and step on it.

It is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Besides, even a clay Buddha would still have some temper. Even if Jia Min was the most kind-hearted, she was already aroused to seven points of anger.

After hearing what was said, Chen Cheng did not stay any longer. He wanted to check several shops to make sure that no thieves would take advantage of the chaos to continue doing evil.

Ugh!

He is a worrier.

After Chen Cheng left, Lin Chengyu sat down leisurely, eating melon seeds and reading the storybook. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the interesting parts.

"Didn't you say you wanted to find the thief?" Jia Min asked with a frown.

Lin Chengyu didn't even raise his head, and turned a page with his free hand, "Yes."

"What is that?" Jia Min pushed him, and Lin Chengyu accidentally spilled some of the melon seeds he had cracked with great difficulty. He looked at the plump melon seeds scattered on the ground with regret, and said helplessly: "Now we have only caught a arsonist, what's the point of venting our anger."

When Jia Min heard this, she quickly understood that there was someone behind the scenes.

"Our family has not made enemies with anyone since we came to Beijing. Why would they resort to such despicable means of revenge?" She couldn't help but sigh, hoping to find the mastermind as soon as possible.

Lin Chengyu comforted her, "Mother, don't worry about such a small matter. I'll take care of everything."
