The wealthy man who wears books

When Zhong Xin heard his sister-in-law's words, "Uncle, do you want to try?", his whole body trembled violently.

He took a deep breath, slowly put the bottle of liquid on the small bed, and said hoarsely to Qin Huai:

"Of course I have to try, but I never thought that this night between Lao Qi and his sister-in-law would be here..."

He said in his mouth, but slowly raised his hands to untie the button loops on Qin Huai's lapel. Both of them were covered with oil stains that had been splashed by Zhong Jiu just now. During this time, mixed with the smell of that liquid, there was a strange smell Indescribable taste.

Qin Huai felt that the room was getting hotter and hotter, sweat was oozing from all over his body, and his mind was a little dizzy. Seeing Zhong Xin come to untie his clothes, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to help him too. Unbutton the clothes.

But in a trance, he suddenly thought of something, couldn't help but stopped, and said in a low voice:

"Uncle has suffered such an injury on his head. Can he continue to do this? It's better to be patient for a while, wait until the wound heals and the situation is stable, then do...do this happy thing again. "

In the dark, Zhongxin blocked Qin Huai's mouth with his wet and hot palm, and rubbed his slightly rough fingers on his soft lips.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about Lao Qi. Since I was a child, I have had countless wounds on my body that were more serious than this. This little injury is completely fine. Sister-in-law just needs to be at ease. What Lao Qi is only worried about is the new essential oil made by sister-in-law. , but I don't know if it will be really that effective, after all, if my sister-in-law is really injured, it will be much more sad than here..."

Qin Huai was annoyed by what he said, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I'm not that delicate either, you just..."

The following words are really beyond words.

During this time, the breathing of the two of them rose and fell one after another in the steaming space. After all, Qin Huai was more nervous, his fingers trembling slightly all the time, not taking off his clothes calmly and swiftly like Zhong Xin... ...

(fresh fish soup)

Qin Huai had never had such a feeling in his life. For a moment, he felt like he was floating on the clouds, and subconsciously let out a soft cry, his knees softened, and he collapsed on the small bed behind him.

Zhong Xin is like a hungry wolf that has managed to eat its prey. At this moment, it will not let go of its mouth that is biting the food easily.Seeing him go limp, he fell down without hesitation.

(a pot of fresh fish soup)

Outside the burning house, Ju Sheng was completely helpless.

When he first tried hard to break the door lock and break into the room, the fire in the room had already blazed violently from inside.The houses in this condition are mostly wooden structures, and with the wooden furniture all over the room, with so much kerosene poured on them, there is no time to break open the door.

Ju Sheng gritted his teeth and ran to the backyard, wanting to call the servants to put out the fire, but found that the maids and women were all half awake, foaming at the mouth, some of them were slightly better, their limbs were weak and they had difficulty moving.

He ran twice with a bucket by himself. Seeing the houses that had burned down and began to collapse everywhere, tears kept dripping from his eyes, and he finally understood what a drop in the bucket is, and he also understood better what a mansion is called. Indifference.

With the fire in Bochunyuan burning like this, it is really rare for the entire Zhong family not to see anyone come to put out the fire.

He was standing there in a daze when he finally heard a voice behind him.

Ju Sheng looked back, only to see the eldest wife He Yiru walking over with a group of people.

He Yiru directed the crowd to rush to help put out the fire, while looking at the houses that had been burnt to ruins, a sneer of complacency faintly appeared in his eyes.When he saw Ju Sheng whose face was full of tears, he didn't ask him anything, only a strange look flashed in his eyes.

The people who came with the eldest lady all brought their belongings. Now you raise a little soil, and he carries half a bucket of water and sprinkles it, which is enough to put out the fire, but the fire is not half extinguished.

After a while, a few women helped Xiang'er and a few servants who were still a little energetic from the backyard.

He Yiru and Xiang'er met eyes, then glanced at Jusheng lightly, nodded vigorously, and then pretended to be anxious and said:

"Where are the Seventh Young Master and the Seventh Grandma now? Can they be in this fire scene? What happened in the Dongkua courtyard, and it was burned like this. You servants, what are you doing for food? Why don't you come here? Put out the fire, everyone is dead!"

Xiang'er clutched her stomach, pretending to be in pain, while pretending to be terrified and looking at the fire scene, tremblingly said:

"Returning to Madam, the slaves really don't know where the two masters are at the moment. I just hope that Amitabha will not be killed in this scene of fire! As for us, it turned out that Grandma Seven rewarded my wife's crabs for all of our servants tonight." It's rare for everyone to eat such a thing, they are greedy, and they can eat a little bit, but after eating this thing, for some reason, they all passed out under our place, if it wasn't for the young master Jusheng who came over just now Yelling, we don't even know how the fire in the courtyard has burned like this."

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman beside He Yiru said loudly:

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that the crabs rewarded by your wife are poisonous? But the whole family, which room didn't eat this crabs, why is everyone else safe and sound, only your Pochun Garden is haunted?"

Xiang'er hastily waved her hand and said: "I don't mean that, what does this have to do with my wife's crabs? I remember clearly that when the crabs were brought in, they were still fresh and alive, and they were cooked in the small kitchen. I also went to see it during the festival, and I happened to meet Young Master Jusheng, but for some reason, the young master was a little evasive when he saw me, as if he was taken aback, and he only told me that today’s crabs are very good.”

After she finished speaking, Ju Sheng, who was in a daze, suddenly raised his head, subconsciously said:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I have never been to any kitchen today."

Xiang'er pretended to be surprised and said:

"Master Jusheng has such a bad memory, but I remember it clearly here. Why did you forget it? It's fine if you really forgot, but I don't understand why we people eat crabs, one after another Dizzy and comatose, with a headache and abdominal distension, but you are safe and sound, young master? Could it be that the crab you ate was not from the kitchen? Or is it that Young Master Ju Sheng knew that the crab was not edible, so he didn't touch it at all?"

Ju Sheng was not sure whether Brother Seven and his sister-in-law were in the room, let alone whether they were buried in the fire. In such a chaotic and painful situation, hearing her slander and frame him like this made me really angry.

He was about to say something, but suddenly his mind moved, and he remembered that in order to prevent the eldest lady from poisoning, he did not eat the crab, but for a while, it was hard to explain.

Seeing that he was speechless for a moment, Xiang'er wiped the corner of her eyes again and said to He Yiru:

"Why did this crab suddenly poison people, and whether it has anything to do with the fire? I dare not talk nonsense, but I always feel that if there is no such thing as poisoning, how can such a fire be silent?" The ground fell on the ground, and if we were not in a coma, how could we let it fall to such an extent, the slave didn't understand all the abnormalities in it, he just felt sorry for the master and grandma, and the rest, Let your wife decide."

He Yiru nodded slightly, and turned his eyes to Ju Sheng, who looked astonished, with an indescribably gloomy look on his face.

Ju Sheng's heart trembled.

Although he didn't know what was going on behind the situation in front of him, but from Xiang'er's unwarranted words just now, he was alerted that this must be someone setting up a poisonous situation to find a scapegoat.

At this time, he thought of what Brother Qi Su often told him.

If you encounter very, very, very difficult things, don't be impulsive, talk less, argue less, be more thoughtful, and save everything to discuss with him.

Although I don't know whether Seventh Brother is still alive or not, I have a clear conscience and have nothing to do with the matter in front of me. Even if I see an official, I have nothing to fear.What's more, I still have the most important piece of evidence, which can fully point out who did the arson.

In the past, perhaps Ju Sheng would have been eager to explain the predicament in front of him, and show his wife that he had photographed the fact that Zhong Jiu set the fire.But now, he knows that he must not let this clue leak out at this time. Once he leaks it, he will probably die and become someone else's scapegoat.

Seeing him standing there quietly, He Yiru's face was only sad and silent, nothing unusual, so he felt surprised.

She already had a sinister plan in her heart, so she said to the servant:

"There are no such unprovoked things in the world. Although this time is for saving people, you must not miss any suspects who set fire to poison. In this way, you tie up Mr. Ju first, and when the fire here is extinguished, you must After knowing the life and death of Lao Qi and the other two, I will report to the officials again."

As soon as the words fell, several people immediately surrounded Ju Sheng, fearing that he would run away.

Ju Sheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the gradually weakening fire in front of him, and said loudly:

"Tie me to take my wife as my wife. Ju Sheng is innocent and has nothing to fear. It's just that the fire is about to go out. Please also ask my wife to read it because I am the step-son of the big house. Let me take a look here." The final result, otherwise, I really miss and worry about Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law in my heart!"

He Yiru put his hands together, nodded slightly, and said softly:

"It's natural. After all, you are the adoptive son of Seventh Grandma. Although there are suspicions, it does not condemn you. At this time, all of you should extinguish the embers as soon as possible, and check whether there are any traces of the two of them. Amitabha, Old Seventh Since I was born, I have been suffering from all kinds of problems, and my biological mother is like that. She grew up here with me, and she is actually not much different from my own life. If something happens, I will not be able to bear it! Buddha, look at me For the sake of eating fast and chanting Buddha's prayer every day, let the two of them be safe and sound!"

While she was talking, tears rolled down her eyes, and a girl hurried over with a futon, and she sat on it, saying that she wanted to recite the peace mantra for Zhong Xin, Qin Huai and the others.

Ju Sheng looked at her chanting sutras with her eyes closed, and couldn't imagine in her heart that such a kind-hearted woman who looked like a jade-faced Avalokitesvara was actually such a cruel and merciless person.

Seeing that these isolated houses finally burned to the end.

Throughout the courtyard, thick smoke and falling soot were everywhere.

Everyone looked around and saw that among the ruins, all the wooden furniture, doors and windows had already been burned, and the rest were nothing but bricks and stones that could not be burnt or metal utensils that had been deformed by burning.

And in the frame of the house, one can vaguely see in the innermost corner, there is a single small stone house standing proudly in the ruins, which looks very eye-catching.

Xiang'er and other people in Bochunyuan were very surprised. After serving in this house for so long, they never remembered that there was such a room in that position.In my impression, it was originally the bathroom of the Seventh Young Master and his wife, but it was obviously not in this structure, and for a moment, I was a little confused.

He Yiru was not familiar with the structure of this house, so he didn't pay attention to the existence of that place. In his heart, he just thought that it was just the remaining stone wall.

What she really cared about was naturally not these things, so she ordered people to find a way, using long poles and iron hooks, to pick up the remnants on the ground in the ruins, with only one purpose, which was to find the bodies of Zhong Xin and Qin Huai.

It's just strange, how big is the floor of these houses? After the fire was empty, there was not much debris left on the ground except black ash. Everyone searched for it several times in a row, and there were no bones. Inside.

Apart from Xiang'er and He Yiru, no one knew whether Zhong Xin and Zhong Xin were definitely in the room, so after searching to no avail, a woman came forward and reported that it was about Seventh Young Master and He Yiru. The Seventh Young Mistress was not in the room, so she must have escaped.

Ju Sheng watched the whereabouts of these people, and already knew that there was no corpse of Brother Seven in the ruins, so they must have escaped long ago.

He had a little bit of luck in his heart, and always felt that with Brother Seven's intelligence and strength, and his sister-in-law's cleverness, if he just died like this, then even the heavens would be blind to him.

He Yiru saw that everyone couldn't find it, and heard the mother-in-law's report, her face became paler in the darkness.

Everyone could only hear her calm voice saying: "The sky is dark and gray, you may not be able to see clearly, you still have to look for it again. If there is no trace of the two of them, I think they are protected by gods and Buddhas. I want to recite a scroll of thanksgiving scriptures to the Buddha."

As soon as her words fell, there was a sudden bang in the fire scene.

Everyone was startled, and couldn't help but raise their eyes to look into the fire.

I saw a big stone suddenly fell from the stone wall in the corner, revealing a deep hole in the wall, and then, a calm and indifferent voice came from inside.

"Lao Qi and my daughter-in-law thank you for your wife's scriptures. At this moment, both of us are safe and sound, and we haven't even burned a single hair!"
