Several shops in a neighboring town were stolen or robbed almost at the same time, and the local yamen ignored it after reporting the case.

Ji Lang didn't count on the yamen either. He patrolled the shops one by one, not only asking the shopkeepers and shopkeepers about the situation, but also asking the surrounding merchants and residents.

After asking around, Ji Lang probably had an idea in his mind. He asked the accompanying Wu Xiu to help him find the fake account books, find out the insiders in the shop, and finally recovered almost all the stolen or robbed items.

All this in just two days.It made it too late for the unruly people to deal with it, and it also shocked the shopkeeper and was overjoyed.

After Ji Lang finished handling the matter here, he returned to Yunzhou City immediately without delay. He was really worried about Master Ji and Mrs. Ji.

However, what Ji Lang was most worried about happened.

On the night when Ji Lang left, before the captain of the guard who had been escorted back had time to interrogate the results, a fire suddenly broke out in Ji's mansion.

The fire started from the main courtyard, as if it had sprouted countless tentacles, spreading endlessly to the surroundings.

The fire in the main house was the most violent, and the huge fire stopped the footsteps of the firefighters.

The servant girl cried anxiously outside: "Master and Madam are still inside!"

Min Fan poured a bucket of water on his head, and rushed into the fire without saying a word.

A faint cry for help came from the inner room, Min Fan walked in boldly and cautiously, and sure enough, he saw Master Ji and Mrs. Ji.

Mrs. Ji was choked by the smoke a few times, her pupils widened suddenly, and she hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Fan, be careful!"

Just as Min Fan quickly crossed the threshold of the inner room, a burning beam fell behind him with a bang, which was extremely dangerous.

Min Fan didn't care about other things, and pulled two quilts from the bed, and gave one to Mrs. Ji, "Madam, wrap the quilts, and I will take you out."

While speaking, he covered Master Ji with another quilt, and carried Master Ji with his injured leg on his back.

Master Ji's eyes were red, and he tightly covered the two of them with the quilt with his uninjured hand.Mrs. Ji also wrapped up the quilt, her eyes were moist, and she was moved by this child.

Min Fan freed one hand to hold Mrs. Ji, carefully avoiding the burning beam that fell just now, and walked out of the inner room, "Madam, I said to run later, so I rushed out with me."

"Okay." Mrs. Ji's tone was firm, and her gaze was even firmer.

So, they rushed out in one breath.

Mrs. Ji suddenly went limp, and Min Fan, who was closest to her, helped her in time.The servant girl quickly stepped forward, and Min Fan put down Master Ji.

At this time, there was a loud bang, and the roof of the main house collapsed.

Master Ji and Mrs. Ji, who had narrowly escaped death, looked at the great changes in front of them, and they were terrified.

Just now, they almost died in the sea of ​​flames.

Mrs. Ji held Min Fan's hand tremblingly and said, "Xiao Fan, thanks to having you here this time."

Min Fan smiled foolishly, and said, "It's as long as Master Ji and Mrs. Ji are safe and sound."

The fire burned for a whole night before it was extinguished, and the entire Ji Mansion was burned to ashes, and even the families on both sides were inevitably affected.

Fortunately, only a few servants involved in fighting the fire were slightly injured.

Master Ji asked the housekeeper to rent two adjacent second courtyards nearby, and planned to live here temporarily until the reconstruction of Ji's mansion was completed.

When Ji Lang returned to the city, what he saw was such a scene.

Because of the strange timing of the fire, and because Master Ji and Mrs. Ji were trapped in the house when the fire broke out, and none of the servants and the invited martial arts nursing home rescued them, Ji Lang made up his mind to use the This has changed everyone.

He couldn't trust these people in the mansion, so he continued to hire the group of Wuxiu who escorted him to a neighboring town to help.

After confirming the situation of Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji, and knowing that although they choked on cigarettes and were shocked, they were fine, and Mrs. Ji's scratches on her hands were also intact, so Ji Lang began to personally investigate the cause of the fire.

The once rich and elegant Ji Mansion, especially the most magnificent main house in the whole mansion, is now burned to the ground.

Mrs. Ji said that when she found out that the fire broke out, the doors, curtains and windows of the closet had already burned, and the fire was very fast.

Ji Lang took a slender wooden stick and looked through the ruins, especially the wardrobe door curtain and window in the inner room.

"Young Master, are you here looking for something?" Min Fan saw him rummaging around here, and walked over.

Ji Lang looked up at him, "Why are you here?"

"Mrs. Ji is worried about you, let me come and take a look." Min Fan said lightly, "What are you looking for, I will help you find it together."

Ji Lang narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Min Fan with scrutiny, and thought to himself: Min Fan has not been in the mansion for a long time, and he looks very innocent, but before the Ji mansion caught fire, his parents seemed to have Trust him.If he is not really innocent, then the city is extremely deep.

Min Fan looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Thank you for saving my parents."

"You're welcome." Min Fan slightly bent his eyebrows, "Your eyes suddenly became fierce just now, which scared me."

"Sorry, I suddenly thought that if no one rushes into the fire to save my parents." Ji Lang thought to himself, maybe he was thinking too much, and the person in front of him didn't look like a man of the city.

"Don't think about it, if I didn't rush in, others would."

"Really?"

"Really..." This time, Min Fan hesitated.

He recalled the situation that night, a few boys were fighting the fire with water, and the maids were staring anxiously. If he hadn't rushed in, would others have rushed into the flames to save people?

Min Fan is not sure.

Ji Lang took a deep breath, and asked warmly, "How did you find out about the fire? Who were the people who were fighting the fire in the main house?"

"At that time, I was cooking supper with Uncle Zhao in the kitchen. When I suddenly saw the fire from the main house, I ran over with a bucket. At that time, there were about four or five young men outside the main house who were also using buckets to fight the fire. , and the two servant girls were so anxious that they were about to cry."

"Only four or five servants and two maids?"

"Others also came to put out the fire. I was the one who ran fast. I rushed into the house before they came."

Ji Lang pondered slightly, Min Fan's words confirmed that the fire was burning fast, and this fire was too weird.

"What about Erniang and Ji Lin?"

"My aunt's house was also burned, but the main house caught fire first, so everyone else got out in time."

Ji Lang nodded and continued to search.

"What are you looking for? Everything here has been burned." Min Fan also looked in the ruins, but found nothing special.

Ji Lang searched the main house twice, and said meaningfully: "You are right, there is nothing left after the fire."

President Qi of the Danxiu Association in Yunzhou City suddenly appeared in the courtyard rented by Ji's family. Mrs. Ji greeted her personally, and Mrs. Fang and Ji Lin who received the news also came out.

Mrs. Ji said: "Chairman Qi came to visit, and I am far away to welcome you. My master has a handicap and cannot come out to greet him. Please forgive me."

"Madam Ji, your son invited me here."

Ji Lang hurried back to the mansion, "President Qi, I'm sorry, I'm late."

"Cultivator Ji, I brought you what you asked for." After finishing speaking, President Qi motioned for the accompanying people to bring a small wooden box over.

"Thank you, President Qi."

Ji Lang summoned all the people in the mansion, and said: "In recent days, there have been frequent incidents in the Ji mansion. I suspect that someone in the mansion is playing tricks, so I paid a lot of money to buy a polygraph pill from President Qi of the Alchemy Association."

Ji Lang opened the small wooden box, which was filled with pills that looked exactly the same.

"Now, everyone line up, come forward one by one to take a lie detector pill, and then swear that they don't know what happened in the past few days. As long as someone tells a lie, the person who takes the lie detector pill will bleed within three days and die."

In an instant, the servants looked at each other and whispered to each other, and some even became flustered.

After all, President Qi himself is here, so it's hard for them to believe it or not.

The kitchen old Zhao stood up first, "Master, I'll come first."

Ji Lang nodded slightly.

Old Zhao took a elixir and said, "If I, Old Zhao, do something wrong to Mrs. Madam, I will be struck by lightning."

Then, the second, the third...

As the saying goes, if you don't do bad things, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking at the door. Some people just can't stand the scare, show their feet, and then trick them.

The fire was lit by the maid next to Mrs. Ji, and at the same time, Chen Jifeng threw a deflagration talisman into the main house.

Who would have thought that Ji Lin would have the ability to buy nearly half of the servants in Ji's mansion.

At the same time, the captain of the guard also confessed that he was instigated by Ji Lin and colluded with the robbers to kill Ji Lang on the way to the neighboring town.

Originally, Ji Lin didn't intend to set fire, but only planned to get rid of Ji Lang outside the city first, but the captain of the guard was escorted back, and he knew that this matter would definitely be exposed, so he decided to take the risk in a flash, and act first.

Master Ji was so angry that he couldn't get sick.

Mrs. Ji took the initiative to lock Mrs. Side and Ji Lin into the firewood room, and sold out the servants who helped the evildoers.It's a pity that Chen Jifeng was a monk on the ninth floor of the Foundation Establishment Stage after all, so he was let away.

According to everyone's reaction during the polygraph test, Ji Lang left behind a few loyal servants and dismissed all the others.

The originally crowded courtyard with two second entrances became much more spacious in an instant.

With such a drastic change in the Ji family, the side wife and Ji Lin were awaiting disposal in Guanchaifang, Min Fan was completely stunned.

He came to Mrs. Ji's room, hesitating whether to knock on the door, not knowing what to say later.

Ji Lang personally sent compensation money to the families affected by the fire in Ji Mansion, and also sent generous gifts to those who participated in the firefighting. As soon as he came back, he saw Min Fan frowning walking back and forth in front of his parents' house.

"Come in." Ji Lang walked past him and entered the room first.

Min Fan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk in.

"Master Ji, Mrs. Ji." He stood aside a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Ji smiled slightly, and said warmly, "Xiao Fan, sit down and talk."

Min Fan didn't sit down, but said, "Mrs. Ji, I don't believe my aunt and cousin would do such a thing. Could there be some misunderstanding?" On the day of the polygraph test, he was actually present.After saying this, Min Fan felt guilty for himself.

Mrs. Ji was not angry, and still said to him gently: "Xiaofan, I don't want to believe it either, but they just did that."

Ji Lang had already told her and Mr. Ji that Ji Lin originally planned to blame Min Fan if the incident was revealed, but he did not expect that Ji Lang would invite President Qi out to test the lie in public, which caught Ji Lin by surprise.

Mrs. Ji looked at Min Fan who was still kept in the dark, her eyes showed distress, and she couldn't bear to tell him.

Min Fan was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Master Ji, Mrs. Ji, my aunt and cousin have done such a thing, I have no face to stay in Ji's house, and bid farewell to you two."

Mrs. Ji got up and pulled him to sit down and said, "Xiao Fan, what they did has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty because of them."

"But……"

"No, but, you were originally left behind by me. Besides, you are the savior of me and the master. If you leave the Ji family, won't we be accused of being ungrateful?" Mrs. Ji deliberately put on a serious face. said.

Min Fan hurriedly said, "Ma'am, that's not what I meant."

Mrs. Ji chuckled, her eyes kindly said: "Okay, don't mention this matter again, just stay at ease."

Min Fan couldn't say no to Mrs. Ji, and couldn't refuse, so he had to continue to stay.

After he left, Ji Lang said puzzledly: "Mother, are you being too kind to Min Fan?"

Mrs. Ji sighed softly: "Xiao Fan is a good boy, if it wasn't for the Min family's nephew, I would have recognized him as my adopted son."
