[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite

Autumn is a cool time, and occasionally a group of birds fly by in the sky, with a noisy and wanton arc.Even the sunlight seems a bit harsh, but the harshness appears gentle, sweeping away the restlessness of summer.

Bronze Sparrow stood under the porch and cleaned the fallen leaves. Seeing the greenness from afar, she was inexplicably uncomfortable, "Didn't I tell you to wait by the side? You shouldn't do these things."

Tongque looked at the broom in his hand and said with a smile, "You're right. That little girl was also scared by me just now."

Lu Yi gave him a blank stare, since Mr. let the Tongque stay, whether it was to keep an eye on the Tongque, or to protect the Tongque, Luyi's attitude was always the same, "You have always had this personality. "

Tongque felt lost, "That's true." Speaking of it, she has never been an obedient person, from Wen Liang here to the things she encountered before, it seems that she always made the wrong choice when it comes to the most important things .Fortunately, this last time, she should have done nothing wrong.

Luyi snatched the broom in Tongque's hand and threw it aside, dragging her back to the house, "Since there is nothing to do, let's sew some underwear for Mr. It's not very soft, and I still have to do a few more for my husband."

Embroidery has always been the weak point of the bronze sparrow, looking at the small thorn needle, she showed a troubled look, "Good Luyi, you know my craftsmanship, but now you are asking me to make Mr. Is it funny?"

Luyi calmly tore apart the fabric that had been placed before, "What, if you can't do it well, you can't practice hard? That time when I saw Mr. hanging your purse, I wanted to poke my eyes, Bronze Sparrow, your The technique is really...remarkable."

Bronze Sparrow covered its face, looking very ashamed.

Lu Yi Haosheng taught for a long time, watched the Tongque start to do something, and then went outside.Wen Liang asked her to stare at the Tongque, and Lu Yi found a suitable job for Tongque to do, and if there was anything abnormal, she could find it quickly.

Just Zhu Bao...

Luyi's heart trembled, she didn't want to doubt Zhu Bao, but since the husband had something to say, there must be something unreasonable about Zhu Bao.With Mr.'s ability, he never targets indiscriminately.

When Cao Cao arrived, Luyi was standing outside the house exhaling, and the person Wen Liang mentioned just now appeared in front of Luyi. He came back from the door, looking very anxious. Seeing Luyi, he said, "Is sir in the courtyard?"

Lu Yi looked at Zhu Bao's unusually anxious appearance, "Naturally in the yard, Zhu Bao, what trouble did you cause?" Zhu Bao was covered with sweat, which was really curious in this ordinary autumn day.

Zhu Bao raised his hand to wipe his forehead, and said tremblingly, "If you want to say that, it's true, it's justified."

It was the end of October at this time, and the shops under the name of Baylor House also began to need to rectify their account books. Wen Liang would often send Zhu Bao to take people to check the situation of the shops at this time, just to pave the way for many things to come.

Zhu Bao is busy with this matter today.

Zhu Bao said in a low voice, "Do you still remember the shop that Mr. said before that he would give special instructions?"

Seeing Zhu Bao's mysterious appearance, Luyi quickly realized that she did remember Wen Liang said about it.That was more than half a year ago, a shop opened after reorganization, Wen Liang had specifically told Zhu Bao to pay more attention to this shop.

Zhu Bao wanted to speak, but after thinking for a while, he stopped, "This matter is very important, I'd better talk to Mr. Tong first."

Luyi also knew this reason, and let Zhu Bao go in sideways.

Wen Liang was thinking about the rare book he brought back from the library at that time, and seeing Zhu Baofeng coming in, he closed the book, "What's the matter?" It's a bit presumptuous, but I've never come in so directly.

Zhu Bao said in a low voice, "Sir, something happened to Zhenshan Pavilion."

Zhenshan Pavilion is the newly opened store specializing in Western treasures. At first, the name was just to show that the items in the store are all treasures.Later, because of Yinzhen's deeds, a lot of Western utensils were successively imported, and soon it became a real shop about Western imports.Because of its novel style, the business is good.

"When the slave went to inspect, there was no problem on the books. Later, when the slave came out of Zhenshan Pavilion, he found that someone was watching near Zhenshan Pavilion. The slave tested it and found that the person staring at Zhenshan Pavilion was looking in the direction of Zhenshan Pavilion. "

Wen Liang said indifferently, "Will you be looking at Zhenshan Pavilion, or all the shops?"

Zhu Bao said affirmatively, "Only Zhenshan Pavilion, there is no such thing outside other shops."

Wen Liang nodded, "I see." Then Wen Liang lowered his head and continued to read. He took out his bookmark and put it on the side, and picked up the teacup.

Zhu Bao was dumbfounded, "Sir, then, don't you need to pay attention?"

Wen Liang didn't even raise his head, "Naturally it is needed. It's just that if you pass by now, the person will disappear?"

Zhu Bao shook his head.

"That's it, don't be rash. Go down."

Zhu Bao came out stupidly, looked dazed at Lu Yi, "Isn't that a big deal?"

Luyi pushed him away calmly, "Since Mr. said it's not a big deal, then it's not a big deal. Why do you want to make so much of it?"

Zhu Bao was wronged, could it be that he made a mistake in trying to be an upright slave?

Wen Liang stayed in the house until night before coming out of the house.Stepping on the path and looking at the courtyard gate, before she could go out, Luyi hurriedly caught up with her, "Sir, you should put on another one." The deeper the dew was, the more Luyi was worried about catching the cold.

Wen Liang waved his hands, and walked straight out of the house, the almost imperceptible gap made Lu Yi sigh helplessly.Bronze Sparrow leaned against the door and looked at her, "You know Mr. has always had such a temper." The implication is that such attempts are useless.

Lu Yi glanced at Tongque with a cloak in her hand, and said strangely, "Could it be that I can't say it because my husband doesn't want to?" Tongque bit her lip.

When Wen Liang went out, Zhu Bao knew that he was naturally following Wen Liang, and the two walked on the road one after the other, before they reached the garden, Wen Liang stopped.

Zhu Bao looked at Wen Liang squatting down by the small lake in surprise. He originally thought that Mr. Wen was going to see Lord Belle. After all, the only reason why he went out late at night was to go to the study outside, but he didn't expect it to be, cough, in the middle of the night Come to the garden.

Wen Liang walked in the garden, looked at the size of the whole garden, and said in a faint voice, "Zhu Bao, if it was you, why did you choose to throw away things here?"

Zhu Bao lowered his head and said, "It's too late to hide."

Wen Liang stepped on the pace, walked around the small lake, then stood by the rockery and shook his head, "If someone really came in from outside the mansion, they would not be noticed if they came and went without a trace. But But he discarded things here and attracted the attention of Bronze Sparrow, so there must be something wrong."

It can only be people in the house.

And he's a person who gets so much attention that he doesn't even have time to quietly throw away things.

There are not many such people.Not too little.

Wen Liang stood by the lake for half an hour, until the night was getting darker, Zhu Bao said worriedly, "Sir, it's so late, let's go back first." The clothes on Wen Liang's body were still thin, and Zhu Bao Standing here, Bao already felt cold.

Wen Liang turned around slowly, but it was not in the direction of going back, but in the outer study.

Among so many princes, apart from Yinzhen, none of the princes would stay in the outer study in the middle of the night.Seriously speaking, Yinzhen hadn't stayed in the backyard for a long time, and as his affairs began to increase, he didn't think about it when he was busy.

Su Peisheng happily watched Wen Liang appear, and bowed to lead people in. It just so happened that Grandpa was planning to invite Mr. Wen over, what a coincidence.

Zhu Bao stood guard outside, and Su Peisheng looked at each other in blank dismay.

When Wen Liang entered, the room was filled with warmth, and the quiet and cold fragrance quietly overflowed, and soon fell on Wen Liang's shoulders, slowly penetrated into Wen Liang's clothes, and soon entangled in his breath again.

Yinzhen was the same as usual, but this time he was not behind the desk, but on the rug between the left, he beckoned Wen Liang to come over, "It's a coincidence, sir, I also planned to ask Su Peisheng to invite him."

Wen Liang sat down opposite, looked at the unfinished chessboard in front of Yinzhen, and let out a soft breath, "Master, are you planning to find someone to play chess with?"

Yinzhen shook his head and reached out to mess up the mess on the chessboard, "Of course not. It's just to pass the time."

Wen Liang raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Yinzhen's appearance very calmly, "This is not like my master's habit." Yinzhen is not the kind of person who will put things on top of him.

"It's just to pass the time." Yinzhen repeated again, and he was not lying. Tonight, he really set up the chess record by himself, and studied it for more than half an hour.

In fact, it was really nothing at all when he called Wen Liang over, it was purely on a whim, and when the person really appeared, Yin Zhen also paused a bit rarely.

Wen Liang didn't notice the subtle atmosphere, looked at the messy chessboard and said, "Master, are you frowning about the previous incident?" He was referring to the incident of the bloody coat.

Yinzhen understood, "I was planning to inform Mr. tomorrow."

Both of them ignored the matter of why Yinzhen suddenly called someone late at night.

"The traces all came in from outside the mansion, but it is absolutely impossible to be someone from outside the mansion. Obviously, someone really climbed to a very deep place, otherwise it would not have been discovered so far." Yin Zhen rubbed the chess pieces in his hand with his fingertips, and the fingers of his fingers The temperature quickly soaked the emerald green chess piece, becoming more gentle and hot.

Wen Liang's eyes fell on the endgame, "Since that's the case, can you send people to other places?"

Yinzhen smiled lightly, "To come and not to go is indecent."

Wen Liang nodded, these brothers can only be said to be each other.

"So-and-so locked two places, the outer study room, and so-and-so's residence." Wen Liang said without any grievances, as if he didn't notice that this statement put himself as a suspect at all.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place. No matter how Lord Baylor checks, his own environment is always the easiest to ignore." Wen Liang asserted, "That person will only be in these two places."

"Why not in the inner courtyard?" Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang with interest, and his judgment was the same, but looking at Wen Liang's burning eyes, he inexplicably hoped that he would say more.

Wen Liang looked up at Yinzhen, "Master knows the answer." Yinzhen shook his head, Mr. is still so keen.

The guarding of the inner and outer courtyards was established from the very beginning. If people could really come out of the inner courtyard without knowing it, Yin Zhen would have died long ago.

Although Wen Liang is not in charge of scheduling in the mansion, he can see a thing or two about the movements in the mansion during this period of time.Obviously Yinzhen no longer intends to pretend to be deep, or does not intend to bury all his strength too much. If he can't even control the inside of the mansion, how can he protect it outside?

Coming to the foreign study room was only caused by Wen Liang's rise, and Wen Liang planned to leave after finishing what he had to say.When he wanted to get up, Yinzhen said, "Would you like to have a drink with me?"

It's okay for Wen Liang's expression to move slightly.

The wine jar that Su Peisheng sent was so familiar, Wen Liang looked at the unopened wine seal, "If the master keeps using someone's wine to entertain someone, it's not the way to treat guests."

Yinzhen's cold mask fell off with a smile, "If you don't mind, sir, you can get it back. Since this wine was given to me, it is mine."

Wen Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and decided to turn all the wine given to Yinzhen into vinegar in the future.

When Yinzhen was pouring wine, he noticed Wen Liang's eyes. He was amused in his heart, but he didn't say a word, but after filling the wine, he pushed one of the glasses of wine in front of Wen Liang.

Wen Liang looked at Yinzhen's subconsciously filled wine glass, it seemed that except for the first time drinking, almost every drink with Yinzhen in the future would be poured by Yinzhen for him.

Could it be that he really likes me?

Wen Liang was a little troubled.

Distressed, Wen Liang picked up the wine bottle, this time the wine bottle was more simple and elegant, and looked quite old.Maybe it was really an ancient object, so it was used directly.

Seeing Wen Liang pondering over the wine bottle carefully, Xu Zhen knew that he had figured out the way, "It is indeed an antique sent by the people below. Since it is a used thing, it is reasonable to use it."

Wen Liang pursed his lips, covered his sleeve with his sleeve and drank it in one gulp.Yinzhen's words are quite in line with his meaning.

This antique thing is only valuable when it doesn't exist.

Yinzhen and Wenliang drank the wine until midnight, until finally Su Peisheng had to bite the bullet and come in to persuade him. After all, Yinzhen still needs to go to court tomorrow.

Wen Liang's eyes were clear, he looked at the wine bottle, then at Yinzhen, and said two words in a straight voice, "Go, sleep!"

He was a little confused again.

Yinzhen was not on the top, his alcohol capacity had already been practiced.I just didn't expect them to drink so late again before they knew it.

Wen Liang got up, looking very calm, "I'm leaving."

Yinzhen shook his head and looked at his frivolous footsteps. He planned to let Su Peisheng send him back, but when he thought of Wen Liang's drunken appearance during the southern tour, he felt anxious again.

In the end, it was Yinzhen who personally sent the man back.

Drunk and dazed Wen Liang is easy to coax, but also difficult to coax.As long as you speak according to his will, you can calm him down in minutes.In short, you have to touch your hair.

"Sir, step over." They finally reached the gate of the small courtyard, Wen Liang stood by the threshold and did not move.Standing behind him, Yinzhen looked at Wen Liang standing still for a quarter of an hour, so he had to rub his brows and said.

"No." Wen Liang frowned and refused, "If you step over, the threshold will bite me."

Su Peisheng looked at Zhu Bao's meaning, your master is stupid for drinking.

Zhu Bao bared his teeth and stared back.

Yinzhen looked up at the moonlight, and at Wen Liang who planned to be in love with the threshold for a long time, "Sir, I offended you." He said it very gently, and then hugged Wen Liang straight away.

When Yinzhen entered, she was terrified of Luyi who had been guarding her all along. She watched Belle enter with her husband in his arms, and looked at Zhu Bao with anxiety that he couldn't understand.Zhu Bao touched his face and said in a low voice, "What's the matter, I'm not drunk, it's Mr. drunk."

Lu Yi forced a smile, "So I'm drunk."

Zhu Bao was at a loss as to what was going on with Lu Yi, but Su Peisheng, an old fritter, quickly understood.He looked in the direction of the house with an unpredictable expression, as if this was not a big deal.

The interior of the house is very comfortable, the mattresses have been laid long ago, and the cold place is carefully scalded with a stove, so that when the temperature is cool and you fall asleep, you can lie down comfortably.A faint fragrance overflows from the censer lit in the corner.This taste is not similar to warm and cool, and there is an illusion of compatibility with inexplicable.

Yinzhen walked to the bed and realized that Wen Liang had been very quiet until now.

He lowered his head, and saw the clear water of the lake at a glance, sparkling and ignorant.black.

Wen Liang grasped Yinzhen's clothes obediently, that kind of stability and obedience was revealed from his eyes, but his expression was as indifferent as ever, the strong contrast impacted Yinzhen's vision, making him suddenly feel that Wen Liang very nice.

It's that kind, indescribably beautiful.

He gently put down the warmth, wrapped the person in layers of quilt, and then stood by the bed for a long while, feeling that this scene was very familiar.

Yes, it was the same during the southern tour.

as always.But never tired.

……

Wen Liang opened his eyes and looked at the familiar bed curtain on top.Headache.

After lying down for a while, he got out of the dazed state of just getting up, and tried to reach out and rub his forehead, once, twice, but failed.Wen Liang looked down at her situation, and calmly called out, "Lu Yi."

Lu Yi opened the door and came in, looking at Wen Liang's appearance, she couldn't hold back her smile, "Sir, how did you make yourself like this?" It was like a silkworm baby wrapped in a quilt.

Wen Liang signaled Luyi to untie the rolled quilt, and said calmly, "I didn't wrap it up."

Lu Yi's hands trembled, but there was no change in her movements, and she immediately untied the quilt for Wen Liang, "Sir, this servant is going to bring you water."

Before leaving, Wen Liang stopped Lu Yi, looked down at her yesterday's clothes, which were already wrinkled, "Did Belle send me back yesterday?"

Luyi nodded.

Wen Liang said nothing.

When Lu Yi came in again, Wen Liang had already changed her clothes and was standing by the window looking at something.Luyi carefully arranged everything, and then waited for Wenliang to wash up.

The whole small courtyard began to function as Wen Liang got up.The morning is always quiet and peaceful, seeing Wen Liang getting up, Lu Yi is planning to go to the small kitchen to get breakfast herself.Before she could reach the small kitchen, the familiar burning smell made her stop, and she turned pale with shock.

She stared in the direction of the small kitchen, and hurried back after a while.Behind him, Zhu Bao also rushed out from the side, hurriedly said, "The small kitchen is on fire!"

Wen Liang heard about this, frowned and walked away from behind the desk, walked to the door and looked at the smoke that started to rise not far away, "What caused the fire?" Someone was already rushing to put out the fire with buckets .

Zhu Bao was a little dazed by Wen Liang's questioning, and tried hard to think, "I can see the smoke from a distance, and I don't know the reason yet."

Warm and cool eyes swept over Zhu Bao, like a icy cold passing by, "Lu Yi, let everyone evacuate, Zhu Bao, get the guards over here."

Wen Liang said calmly, if the fire does not start naturally, then the most important thing to do is not to put out the fire, but to try to control the area where the fire spreads.It's just that there is something hidden in this small kitchen, which makes people even burn it to arouse suspicion?

After half an hour, the fire finally burned up Wenliang's small courtyard, and all of Wenliang's books were burned in ashes.Although the place where the fire started was in the corner of the small courtyard, the small courtyard is small after all, and it is already the greatest blessing to be able to control it and not go outside.

While the firefighting guards were dealing with the following matters, they pulled out a charred corpse from the ruins. The appearance of the corpse was completely invisible due to the fire, but when they counted the people in the small courtyard, they easily knew this person Who exactly.

This is the help cook in the small kitchen of Wenliang Yard. He has always kept his own place, and almost no one can tell the characteristics of this person. He is a very unnoticed person.But according to the traces of the entire small kitchen, unless someone intentionally put him to death, the helper could only push the oil barrel into the oil barrel and burn the entire small kitchen, including Wenliang's entire small courtyard.

Wen Liang stood beside the ruins, listening to the return from the attendant behind him with a blank expression.Yinzhen walked from the corridor stepping on the flying ashes, with a vague anxiety hidden between his brows, he turned into peace when he saw Wen Liang standing on the ruins safely.

"As long as there is nothing wrong, sir." When he came out of the palace and heard this, the aura around Yin Zhen became extremely terrifying.No matter what the reason was, Wen Liang almost had an accident again, and this time he was still in the mansion!

Wen Liang looked at the ruins indifferently, as if this was not the place where he had lived for several years just now, "There is no serious problem. When the small kitchen burned, the fire was still very slow."

The fire was very slow from the very beginning, and it didn't suddenly rise again until after they left, as if possessing human nature, knowing that there was no one in the house, it completely and arrogantly burned down all the places that could be burned.Wen Liang suspected that the fundamental purpose was not to kill people, but to cover up something, so he burned the small kitchen.

Yinzhen said, "Mr. is fine, that's the best."

"Not good." Wen Liang said seriously and stubbornly, "A certain study room is missing!"

All his belongings were gone.

When Wen Liang said these words, Wen Liang looked expressionless, but Yin Zhen could hear the deep and visible disappointment in the words.This is extremely rare for Wen Liang.

Beneath the calmness, there was a little bit of aggrieved emotion.

Yinzhen was a little distressed, but also a little funny.He strolled to Wen Liang's side, stood side by side with him, and said slowly, "Sir, the things in the study are gone, you can buy them back again."

"But XX still saved all the data about the master, as well as all the written things, all of which have to be rewritten."

hand pain.

Wen Liang put it bluntly, even for him, facing a lot of things that have already been written, if he has to do it all over again, the feeling can be compared to the despair of a writer who lost his manuscript.

Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, unable to suppress the curiosity in his voice, "Sir, did you write something about me?"

Wen Liang looked sideways at Yinzhen who was standing beside him, and said frankly, "In order to assist Lord Baylor, I naturally need to know something about Lord Baylor." Wen Liang can sum it up from small height and weight to habitual thinking. Everything is summed up.

For a moment, Yinzhen didn't know whether to be happy that Wen Liang valued him first, or to be shocked by Wen Liang's behavior... It was weird, but all things fell before him, the most important thing was the matter in front of him.

Was the death of the kitchen helper a suicide or a homicide?

In the small courtyard, everyone was taken away except Wen Liang, including Lu Yi Zhu Bao and others.Wen Liang didn't have any dissatisfaction with Yinzhen's decision, and he was resettled by Yinzhen in the outer study, becoming the first person other than Yinzhen to move in.

Su Peisheng sent two people over to Wen Liang, one of whom was Xiao Shi Zi, the servant who had been serving Zhu Bao because of seasickness during Wen Liang's southern tour.Little Persimmon is quite familiar with Wen Liang, so he made tea for Wen Liang first, and then hurriedly started packing things.

Although the house in the outer study room is tidied up every day, it is a place where no one lives, and there is no popularity at all.Little Persimmon tidied up the house with his partner, and in a blink of an eye, he didn't realize that Wen Liang was gone.

Wen Liang went out of the house, everyone in the study outside knew Wen Liang, no one dared to block Wen Liang's walk, after all even the most important study room, Wen Liang could come and go freely.Walking to the stone path, Wen Liang tried to connect this incident with the previous Tongque incident, trying to find a breakthrough.

Before Wen Liang could reach the door, a burst of quiet fragrance made Wen Liang notice Yinzhen's return.The reason why Yinzhen asked Wen Liang to come back first was also to let him settle down first. After all, he just escaped from the fire just now. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw people walking slowly in the courtyard. Go to the victim.

Yinzhen sighed softly, he couldn't forget his warm and cool character.

"What did you think of, sir?" Yinzhen asked softly, looking at Wen Liang's dazed look.Wen Liang was reminded by Yinzhen, and looked up at Yinzhen, "Master, the fire started from both sides, and the cook was killed."

At this moment, Zhang Qilin hurried over and said that the doctor had checked the condition of the kitchen assistant, "He was burned to death, and he was still conscious before he died, and the oil drum in the small kitchen was indeed dumped, so it should be a suicide. "

Wen Liang on the front foot said that he was killed, but Zhang Qilin's inspection on the back foot came to a completely different conclusion. After pondering for a moment, Yin Zhen said, "How is the situation inside the house? There is no trace in the small kitchen?"

Zhang Qilin said with a mournful face, "It's true, everything was burnt to nothing."

Wen Liang's indifferent words saved Zhang Qilin, "Master, I want to go back and see the scene." Yinzhen frowned and looked at Wen Liang, the faint heartache that Wen Liang had just now still lingered in Yinzhen's memory.

"Forget it, let's go."

……

Fires broke out in Yinzhen's mansion for two or three consecutive years, and this incident also attracted Kangxi's attention.After the court meeting on the second day, Kangxi specially left Yinzhen behind, and said earnestly, "Recently, the weather is dry and things are dry, and it is easy to get wet. Fourth brother, don't just focus on the outside, things in this mansion also need to be taken care of. "

Yinzhen nodded calmly, cupped his hands and said, "It's my son's negligence."

Kangxi sighed, "Forget it, just remember this." He waved his hand to let Yinzhen go down, but this was just a small episode, but after thinking about it, he stopped him again, "Wen How's the cold?"

Among these sons, only Yinzhen knew Wen Liang's identity. As for the others, because of Wen Liang's attitude, Kangxi had no intention of revealing it.

If everyone knew why Emperor Kangxi valued Wen Liang, it would be impossible for Wen Liang to be happy in the future.

Yin Zhen hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "The place where the fire started is exactly the courtyard where Wen Liang is."

"What!" Kangxi threw the memorial in his hand to the ground, looking at Yinzhen's appearance as if he had heard something unbelievable, "How is Wenliang?"

Yinzhen cupped his hands, "Wen Liang was not injured, and I moved him to my residence."

Emperor Kangxi's face was gloomy, as if he had thought of something bad, "How did you find out?" If it was any ordinary place, Kangxi would think that the sky was dry and things were dry, and accidentally went off.But he was born in a warm and cool place, so why didn't the suspicious Emperor Kangxi think too much? !

Yinzhen pursed his lips, Emperor Kangxi's anger was unexpected, maybe we still have to re-evaluate Wen Liang's position in Kangxi's heart.

……

When Yinzhen returned home, he was wearing the stars and the moon, and the dew was heavy in the middle of the night, and the outer shirt on his body felt moist, even late autumn was no exception.He originally wanted to go back to the outer study directly, but he never thought that after entering the house, through the window, he could see the bright room on the other side. He was stunned for a moment before recalling that Wen Liang had been moved here by him. .

Zhang Qilin came in with a little chill, and reported the news from the search, "...After Mr. Wen mentioned something, the servant found that the entire small courtyard was included in the burning site. First, the small kitchen was used as the starting point of the fire, and when the fire was strong enough After some time for people to escape, the spreading momentum happened to ignite the oil that had been sprayed on the foot of the courtyard wall in advance. From here, to here..."

They originally thought that it was the small kitchen's helper's mistake that caused the small kitchen to catch fire, but Wen Liang picked out several suspicious points after investigating the scene.After following the vine, the conclusion reached is completely opposite.

This will never be just a mistake!

Zhang Qilin pointed at the drawn image of the small courtyard with his finger, "This part is all covered with oil, but it is covered by flowers and plants at the foot of the wall, so no one noticed."

"This is also what my husband mentioned, why the fire obviously started from the small kitchen, but it really burned quickly in two places here."

"Nobody found out about this?" Yinzhen asked coldly.

Zhang Qilin nodded, "The servant questioned everyone, and they all said that they didn't smell the smell. The attendants who put out the fire didn't smell the smell of kerosene, maybe..."

"It's the oil from the kitchen." Wen Liang strolled in from the door, and Su Peisheng followed behind Wen Liang cautiously.

This is the first time Wen Liang has used Yinzhen's right to let him go straight in, and Su Peisheng is still not used to it.After realizing that Yinzhen didn't feel anything unusual at all, Su Peisheng silently retreated to the door to guard.

"Someone remembers that half a month ago, Luyi accidentally mentioned that new cooking oil was delivered from the big kitchen. These are all packed in fixed barrels and packed in small bottles in advance. Even if those chefs have the ability to directly Pushing all the large oil drums down, judging from the burning speed of the small kitchen at that time, there must not be that much oil spilled."

Yinzhen nodded, what Wen Liang said was indeed reasonable.He waved his hand to signal Zhang Qilin to continue, "Doctor Chen inspected the corpse and found that it must have martial arts skills, and there are marks on the root bone of the left thumb. It must be a person who has been using knives all year round. Because he has been in charge of cutting vegetables in the small kitchen for many years. It's normal to smell blood after chopping meat."

"The servant boldly guessed that it might have something to do with the blood-clothed burden last time. Maybe this person knew that the matter was exposed and thought that he would be discovered sooner or later. Because this matter started from Mr. Wen, he decided to burn the small courtyard before he died. , pulling Mr. Wen and him..."

Before he could say the word "buried with him", Zhang Qilin didn't dare to say it because of the sudden chill in the room.

Yinzhen crushed the teacup in his hand, his voice was cold, "Has anyone contacted him recently?"

Zhang Qilin shrank his head and said, "No, the traces of this person are very normal, and it has not been found that he has any connection with the outside of the mansion. And he has never been in contact with the line purchased in the mansion."

When the staff was mobilized, none of the people in the Wenliang courtyard moved. How could they have imagined that that person would be in the Wenliang courtyard.That is the safest place in the whole mansion.

Wen Liang's brows were lingering, and his tone was cool, "If there is one person who has a problem, then someone will choose Zhu Bao."

Yinzhen pressed what Zhang Qilin was about to say, and said in a low voice, "Why do you say that, Mister?"

"He concealed it very well." Wen Liang slightly parted his lips, took out the brush from the pen holder, and naturally drew on the drawings placed on the table.

"But it's not good enough."
