The majestic sister-in-law of the Red Chamber

Chapter 140 The Establishment of Shadow

In the palace, after eating and drinking enough, Situ Meng had a good night's sleep, but he didn't know that this night, outside the palace was full of excitement, and a series of big plays continued to be staged. When he woke up, the world was already in chaos outside, and all the hard work they had put in before was in vain.

However, after Lin Tian left the palace, she first asked the Death Squad waiting outside to go to Duke Qi’s mansion to strengthen its defenses. The key point was to guard Qi Guogong and some important witnesses and physical evidence, and prepare to hand them over to the third division after the court tomorrow morning. They came directly to Nanfu.

After all, in the morning, Lin Tian had made an agreement with the lady in the South Mansion that she would have a good talk with her when she had time. After all, she was in a hurry in the morning, and she only listened to the general idea, and remembered It's just a few important people, and the specific situation includes some evidence that the lady has, but she hasn't seen any of it!

Just when Lin Tian was about to reach the gate of Nanfu, he saw through the fence that black smoke was rising from inside. Although he hadn't seen a violently burning open flame, the situation was not optimistic.

As a result, Lin Tian didn't have time to turn to the main entrance, so he jumped directly, borrowed a little strength from his horseback, jumped over the courtyard wall and jumped in quickly, then accelerated with his feet, and rushed towards the smoky The place rushed past.

"It's on fire, hurry, hurry, bring water!"

"Captain, there is no water around here! The water tanks prepared at home have been broken by someone! What should we do now?"

"Idiot, isn't there a lotus pond behind here? Hurry up and get someone to fetch water there! Hurry up, hurry up, it will be troublesome if it really burns! Who knows that there is no important physical evidence in it!" The guard who looked like the captain was directing everyone to put out the fire, and the whole yard was in chaos for a while.

"Stop!" Lin Tian shouted, causing everyone to stop temporarily, and looked at her with puzzled eyes.

"Don't fall for the enemy's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain! Go back and watch those people, don't let them run away, and be careful that someone wants to kill them! Especially the women who are with that lady, quickly find a carriage to escort them back to the palace! "Lin Tian quickly issued this order.

"However, my lord! If the fire here is not extinguished in time, if it burns up in a short time, I am afraid that the whole yard will be destroyed! I have just seen that the buildings here are not made of bricks and stones from our north, but are all bricks and stones." The unique structure of bamboo and wood in southern buildings, and the dryness of the day, is particularly easy to catch fire, if this is left alone, the whole mansion will be reduced to ashes in a short time!" The team leader said anxiously.

"Don't worry, it won't! You all get out of the way!" Lin Tian said, a shovel with an oversized head instantly condensed in his hand, and then he hit the ground hard, and the people standing around Immediately, I felt like an earthquake, my body was shaken left and right, and it was with great difficulty that I supported each other to stand still.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Tian used a shovel to lift up the earth and bricks that had been crushed into small particles on the ground, and covered them all on the burning house at once. After a few strokes, the fire was obvious The fire weakened, and within 5 minutes, the fire was completely extinguished under the cover of soil.

When Lin Tian finished all this, the team leader rushed directly to the house that was on fire in disbelief, and inspected it carefully, fearing that there was still something that was not completely extinguished, but he found a problem during this inspection.

But it turns out that this firewood-like place did not accidentally catch fire because of the dry weather, but someone deliberately sprinkled a layer of rapeseed oil around the house. The fire could not have been extinguished so easily.

After all, if they used water to put out the fire without knowing it, the fire would only get worse and worse, and in the end they might burn down the whole house directly!

"Where is that lady locked up? Hurry up and take me there!" Lin Tian already had a bad premonition in his heart, and hurriedly said to the captain.

"My lord, come with me!" said the team leader, trotting all the way to a yard behind.

Lin Tian didn't want to ask him at the moment, why did all the people who should be detained in the front yard run to the back, but just kept up with the captain.

The speed of the two of them was not slow, and it took only two or three breaths to reach this small courtyard.I saw that there were lanterns of different colors hanging everywhere in the garden. Although it was night, it still reflected the place as if it were day.

I saw that Wei Zi, Zhao Fen, Luoyang Red and other rare peonies are planted in this yard. It is the time for peonies to bloom, each of them is colorful and fragrant, and it is matched with the surrounding green bamboos. The small rockery and the miniature lotus pond gave Lin Tian the feeling of seeing the exquisite gardens in the south.

It's just that time is urgent, and at this moment, Lin Tian didn't have the intention to appreciate the beautiful scenery, so he just said casually: "You guys are really leisurely, and you actually lit all the lanterns in this yard??"

"No, we didn't order this!" The team leader who led the way hastily denied: "We are busy collecting evidence everywhere, and we still have to look at those people, we want to split it in half by ourselves, how can we have the time to light a lamp! "

"Then what's going on here!" Lin Tian was at a loss at the moment.

"It was ordered by the lady and the women around her!" The team leader said helplessly, "They said it was getting late and they were afraid of the dark, so they ordered them all!"

"Oh, that's right! I haven't asked you yet! Aren't they all imprisoned in the front yard before? Why are they all running to this remote yard now?" Lin Tian asked suspiciously.

"Oh! She said that she had agreed with you, master! She said that she put all the evidence here, but she will not give it to you until you come, master!" The team leader said that he was a little helpless, and said:

"Our people searched the place inside and out many times, and they were only three feet away from the ground, but they didn't find anything! She threatened us with those women, saying that if they are not allowed to stay here, Then when you come, she will accuse us of abusing them...

In the end, Miss Xiaotao nodded and let them all be locked up here!What's more, two Death Squads were called over to watch, and she herself was sitting in it herself! "The two were talking, Xiaotao had already pushed open the door and walked out quickly.

"Master, you are finally back! Just now, I heard someone yelling, and I thought I was going to take them away first, but fortunately you are here!" Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Tian , A big smile appeared on his face.

"Don't worry! It's okay, the fire has been extinguished!" Lin Tian said lightly, and at the same time walked inside.

"No, it's impossible!" The lady obviously heard Lin Tian's words, her face changed drastically, and she looked at Lin Tian in disbelief.

"En? Why is it impossible?" Lin Tian looked at the lady with a half-smile, and said, "Do you want to say that the fire is poured with oil, and it is impossible to put it out with water? That's why you brought them Hiding in advance in the most remote place in the mansion, which is not connected to any courtyard? In this way, even if the whole mansion is burned down, nothing will happen here? Right? "

Lin Tian hadn't had time to pay attention to these details before, but the lady's expression made her guess the whole story in an instant, and her face suddenly became ugly.

"No, miss, don't get me wrong, we definitely didn't set the fire! The servants hid here with their sisters, just trying to survive!" the madam said anxiously.

"Okay, I'm not interested in these! Didn't you say you would give me evidence in the morning? Take it out!" Lin Tian stretched out his right hand to her unceremoniously.

"This..." The madam showed a very embarrassed look on her face.

"What? Could it be that what you said in the morning was all lying to me?" Lin Tian frowned slightly, and his mood suddenly became very bad.

"No, no, everything I said before is true! There is absolutely no lie!" The lady hurriedly argued: "It's just that these things are hidden in the minds of our sisters, where they can really be taken out. What specific things!"

The lady said with a bitter and sad smile on her face, and said: "Miss should know that we are just playthings to them, and they come here just to have fun, so why would they bring some of you?" The things we need to deliberately serve as evidence! What we can tell Miss is just some important things they said when they were drunk!"

"No, no, no!" Lin Tian stretched out his index finger and shook, with a mysterious smile on his face, he said: "You are such a smart person, I believe you must have something that will make them afraid of life! Otherwise, You won't all be hiding here for refuge now!

I don't ask who tipped you off, telling you that they are going to set fire to the house, I will ask you a question now, do you, or you, want to be free?I want an identity that can appear in front of people openly, an identity of a normal person who is not from a lowly background! "

"What?" All the women present widened their eyes, their panting sounds were obviously a little heavy, and everyone's eyes were all focused on the lady, and the deep desire in their eyes couldn't be concealed at all. live.

"Oh...well, you won!" The lady sighed helplessly, and said, "We can hand over everything you need, but..."

"Well, as long as you are willing! Let's talk about other things later. Although someone has informed you in advance, but it is not safe here now. You should leave here with me now. When we get to a safe place, we will discuss it in detail." Talk! By the way, you have to keep all the things I want! This is your own condition!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he took Xiaotao and walked out quickly.

"My lord, my lord, it's not good, the main courtyard is on fire!" Lin Tian just walked to the door when he heard someone running towards him quickly and shouted loudly.

"En? Have you looked at the physical evidence in this house? Has it been burned?" Lin Tian asked in a serious tone.

"Don't worry, my lord, all the valuables and physical evidence in this house are piled up in the middle of the yard, and there are special people watching over them, they will never be burned!" The visitor assured, patting his chest.

"Well, tell everyone to escort these things to Huiwang's mansion quickly. Don't worry about the fire in this house. Just watch it outside and don't burn it to other people's houses!" After Lin Tian finished speaking, he took these women Quickly walked towards the nearest side door.
