Mu Lin and others rushed into Ge's house and were about to fight the fire when He Chuan grabbed him.

"Don't forget what we are here for, go find Li Liangji!" He Chuan was older than Mu Lin, and felt that something was wrong tonight.

Although Chen Shiliu has little experience, he has heard of a lot of various cases, and his observation ability is quite meticulous. Now he has completely woken up from his sleepiness, and he feels bad: "Could it be that Yu discovered something, Did you set fire on purpose?"

Mu Lin went directly to the housekeeper of the Ge family: "Where is your master?"

The butler was stopped when he was about to rush out. Even if Mu Lin was the policeman, he didn't look good: "Quick, get out of the way. The master is in the study. He hasn't moved for so long. Maybe he was smoked over."

Everyone knows that if you are trapped in a house during a fire, even if you are not burned to death by the fire, you may be choked to death by the thick smoke first.

Just in time, Mu Lin saw a few more policemen running in from the gate and the back door, and quickly shouted to He Chuan: "You guys go to Li Liangji, and I'll go to Master Ge. I'm worried that something happened to Master Ge."

He Chuan nodded, arresting people was more important in his heart.

At this time, the neighbors around Ge's house were all alarmed by the fire, and they took wooden buckets and tubs from their homes to fetch water to put out the fire.The current houses are all brick and wood structures, and they are connected together in blocks. The fire in Ge’s house is getting bigger and bigger. If you don’t put it out quickly, if you are not careful, it will burn to the neighbor’s house, and it will be passed on from one family to another. I can't even cry.

The entire Ge family was in a mess. Chen Shiliu was bumped several times, and because of the noise, he could only shout at the top of his voice: "Brother He, it's too messy. What if he runs away? I have to hurry up and get rid of the old man." Guard the door."

He Chuan slapped his head, and quickly asked the policemen to guard the gate. There were two for the gate, two for the back gate, and two for the side gate. There were five others including him and Chen Shiliu.He Chuan felt unsafe because there were too few people.I didn't notice it before following the stalking, but now that the Ge family is in chaos, there are simply not enough people for this.

"Heihouer, hurry back to the yamen and bring some more people. Just say that the situation here has changed, and Li Liangji is going to run away. Hurry up!"

Hei Hou'er knew that He Chuan had leaned on Chen Shiliu, and the relationship between Chen Shiliu and the county magistrate was mysterious, so he naturally didn't dare not listen.

He Chuan grabbed a Ge family servant and asked him to lead the way to Li Liangji's residence.

The servant didn't dare to offend the arrester, so he led the way and said, "Master Biao's yard is on fire, and no one can get in right now. We kept shouting, but no one responded, and no one was seen." Come out, Young Master Biao is afraid..."

A few people went to the place and saw that it was indeed a sea of ​​flames.

This is a cross courtyard, with three main rooms and two side rooms on the left. There are flowers and plants in the courtyard, which is very elegant and large in size.Arranging Li Liangji to live here is in itself a manifestation of status.But now, the three main rooms are all engulfed in the flames. Although the servants are pouring water desperately, the fire is raging and cannot stop the fire from spreading. They poured water and scattered soil across the yard, trying every means to put out the fire.

"I can't get in, cough, cough, the smoke is too much." Chen Shiliu quickly stepped back, coughing until his eyes drenched.

He Chuan always felt bad in his heart: "Could it be that the person has already run away?"

At that time, I suddenly saw a fire, and I panicked and forgot to keep people outside, but they all ran in.In addition, neighbors from the surrounding neighborhoods came to fight the fire, and people came and went in a mess.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that people had run away.

They don't know "Li Liangji" well, but they know the crime he committed, his ruthless methods, and cunning heart. If he said that this fire had nothing to do with him, who would believe it!

Chen Shiliu's face was full of anger: "This man is really vicious! The Ge family is so big, but the house where the Ge family's father and daughter and his residence are on fire is the biggest, and the speed is so fast. Oil must have been poured on it, otherwise it would not be possible to burn so fast."

The greatest luck is that the Ge family is a large family, and someone is on duty at night, otherwise the whole family will be burned to death.

However, this is not the murderer's negligence, but the other party's calculation, creating chaos and taking the opportunity to escape.

Chen Shiliu was angry and anxious, and he was about to be caught, but who knew...

"Go, go and see the big forest."

When they arrived, they saw only two servants guarding the unconscious Ge Dafu.

"Master Catcher, our master was knocked out."

In fact, the situation is very dangerous, and the study room is also the hardest hit area.The night watchman had dozed off and fell asleep, but he woke up dazedly when he smelled the burnt wood. When he saw the fire spreading, he screamed in fright, but he didn’t see Mr. Ge coming out, so he pushed the door and went in to look for it. , I knocked my forehead and passed out.

Fortunately, the butler reacted quickly, and the fire was not too big when he rushed over. Mu Lin rushed in and got Master Ge out.

"Where's Mu Lin?" Chen Shiliu asked.

The servant hurriedly said: "The steward is afraid that the young lady will also be in trouble, and the fire is raging over there, Master Mu went to help."

The young ladies of rich families are all pampered by deep boudoirs, and Ge Dafu is only an only daughter, so they raise Miss Ge very preciously.Not to mention anything else, the embroidered building where Miss Ge lived is very exquisite, and it is the tallest building in the Ge family, which is also for the convenience of Miss Ge to overlook and enjoy the scenery.

There are three floors in Xiulou. Miss Ge lives on the second floor, and there is only one staircase to go up and down.

The whole courtyard was either maids or servants. There was not a single man. The fire started from the back of the embroidery building. The servants who were on duty at night didn't notice it at first, but when they found out, the fire had reached the second floor.The maids were so frightened that they could only scream, or cry for help, none of them dared to rush downstairs.

Qing'e has always been bold, but she panicked when encountering this kind of thing. Fortunately, there were people below to put out the fire, but the effect was minimal.

"Miss, I can't wait anymore, the smoke goes up, if you stay any longer, you will be choked to death by the smoke." Qing'e looked at the trembling little sisters, anxious and angry: "What do they look like! Miss hasn't cried yet Well, you are crying so much, you all got up quickly, if you don’t want to live, you just wait to die!”

As he spoke, he opened the window facing the yard, looked at the height, and hurriedly tore long strips of sheets and curtains and tied them into ropes.

Although Miss Ge was trembling, she still endured to help.

The other maids are also busy.

After finally fixing the rope, he called down for someone to respond, and sent Miss Ge down first.Qing'e voluntarily stayed at the end, and the other maids went down first.These maids are just like the deputy lady, with fine skin and tender meat, and they have no strength. Including Miss Ge, they are all tied around their waists with ropes. The others work together to slowly let people down from the window. Two servants followed.

In this way, safety is safety, but the speed is too slow.

Too much time wasted, the fire engulfed the window, and there were still Qing'e and Hongdie in the room.There was more and more smoke, the surroundings were getting hotter and hotter, and the beams and floors were loosening.

"I, I don't want to die, Qing'e, Qing'e..." Hong Die and Qing'e have always been friends, they have always been sweet and pretty, but they are timid, if they hadn't fainted from fright just now, they would have gone down first.

"You won't die." Qing'e quickly tied a rope to her and sent her to climb down.

"Ah!" Just halfway down, the rope was burned by fire, but luckily someone below caught Hongdie.

"Qing'e!" Miss Ge looked upstairs, Qing'e was almost surrounded by fire.

Qing'e gritted her teeth, simply climbed onto the window, and jumped down as soon as she closed her eyes.

Seeing this scene as soon as Mu Lin arrived, he rushed forward instinctively, just in time to catch Qing'e.

Miss Ge and the servants were stunned for a moment, but they didn't care about the difference between men and women, so they hurried around to check how Qing'e was doing.Fortunately, he was not injured, but he seemed to be frightened and frightened, coupled with exhaustion, he passed out.

Mu Lin's arms were numb from the shock, but fortunately there was nothing serious, and he was relieved to see that everyone was fine.

He couldn't help here, so he turned back to find He Chuan.

He Chuan and the others just happened to come over, and after discussing with each other, they all felt that Li Liangji ran away while taking advantage of it.They didn't dare to act without authorization. They found out that Butou Cai had captured the three people who carried out the kidnapping, so they went to meet Butou Cai and reported the situation.

Cai Butou immediately ordered: "Ten people form a team, each team has [-] helpers and [-] white servants, starting from Ge's family, each team is divided into southeast and northwest to hunt down, go door to door, and search for anything suspicious. The remaining team is guarding Ge's house, just in case, we will strictly check the neighbors around Ge's house."

This can be regarded as a big battle, and 400 people were dispatched at once.

In addition, the Ge family was on fire, and the people sent by the county government were also the main force.

The huge movement woke up many people from their sleep.

Mu Qingyan came to be vigilant. He didn't notice the fire in Ge's house because he was far away, but the police were searching the streets, so it was impossible for him not to feel it.Listening to the conversations of the police officers, it turned out that Yu Kun jumped over the wall in a hurry. Seeing that the whole government was mobilized and the city gates were closed again, there was nothing to worry about.

Indeed, good news came half an hour later, Yu Kun was arrested!
