Although Zhang Xutang was on guard against Song Huiyue, he never expected that she would take action just by saying something related to Song Qinghui.
Xiao Wei and Zhang Lin saw the two of them chatting happily and were completely unprepared.
His forehead suddenly hit the stone slab. The stone slab was hard, and his head was equally hard. They made a dull impact sound together.
"Boom!"
Everyone, including Zhu Guangli, was shocked.
But Song Huiyue retreated with one strike, her two thick eyebrows stood up, and her big eyes stared at Zhang Xutang fiercely. As long as she heard a stupid word from Zhang Xutang's mouth, she would not hesitate to strike again and kill her.
His beautiful head was smashed into the shape of a Buddha, and his head was full of relics.
Then she took out the handkerchief and wiped her hands clean, as if Zhang Xutang had dirty her hands.
Yin Xiao walked up to Song Huiyue and stood with his arms folded across his chest, blocking all eyes and looking coldly at everyone.
"Zhang Yanei!" Zhu Guangli rushed up, "Are you okay? Please help Yanei up quickly!"
Everyone helped and lifted Zhang Xutang back to the recliner, but they didn't dare to speak when they looked at the red and swollen bump on his head.
After Zhu Guangli helped Zhang Xutang up, he quietly retreated ten steps away surrounded by the government officials.
He can't afford to offend Zhang Yanei, and he can't afford to offend Mrs. Song either. After he has done what he has to do, he can hide as far away as possible, and don't let him get affected.
The fires were going on one after another, and his position as the prefect was no longer secure, but he wanted to save his life and stay safe.
The Zaobans on the side all raised their heads and asked him quietly: "Ms. Zhu, did the two of them have any love-hate relationship? Why did they suddenly start fighting?"
"how could I know!"
"Then why did the fire suddenly start? Who set it?"
"how could I know!"
"Then are we going to investigate the arson case next?"
"How the hell do I know!"
Zhu Guangli asked questions and didn't know what to do. He lowered his voice and roared. Seeing Qin Jie and Xie Zhou rushing over, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't talk nonsense. Even those who are more senior than me didn't say anything. You are so anxious!"
After Zhang Xutang lay down again, when everyone thought he would be furious, he just laughed weirdly: "Mad dog."
He reached out and touched the bag on his forehead, his eyes showing signs of madness.
"Mad dog," he spat in the direction of Song Huiyue, "I can't fucking spare you..."
Song Huiyue replied: "I'm waiting."
In the midst of the chaos, Xie Zhou, Qin Jie and others had already swarmed over. Seeing the strange situation in front of them, their mouths were so wide that they could stuff an egg into them.
Especially Qin Jie, who originally had a toad's mouth, but now he has a surprised look, and one can almost see his intestines through his mouth.
"This is..." He pondered the situation in front of him and pointed at the two enemies who were covered in black ash, "Did you two burn this garden?"
Without asking in detail, he also knew that there must be countless hatred between the two people.
Zhang Xutang asked fiercely: "Xiangong Qin, did you see me setting the fire?"
Qin Jie waved his hand and said, "I won't care about him - the yamen's surname is Zhang, so he can't care about it either."
He turned back to look at Zhu Guangli, who was hiding far away: "Prefect Zhu, it seems that you know the situation here best. Come and explain it to me."
Zhu Guangli thought to himself that he didn't know anything. He was so exhausted that he was about to faint.
While he was still brewing, Zhang Xutang had already said to Qin Jie: "Mr. Qin, people don't have to put the fire, it's just dry weather. Since everyone is here, let's go in and see if there is any trouble inside."
Haunted.”
After that, he was carried into the fire that had just extinguished.
Qin Jie frowned and looked at Xie Zhou unconsciously.
Although Xie Zhou only joined the army for a small amount of time, he is the son of Shi Xiechuan, the head of the palace. He knows everything about the situation in the palace. Whether there is something fishy about this place can be seen on his face.
But the expression on Xie Zhou's face was too complicated, and he couldn't understand it.
It was as if he had gathered thousands of words, ready to burst out, but there was no chance. His brows were all knitted together, and he didn't know whether it was sadness or holding back.
Unable to get the information he wanted from Xie Zhou's face, Qin Jie looked at Zhang Xutang.
Zhang Xutang himself looked extremely embarrassed, but behind him stood Prime Minister Zhang.
In this way, Zhang Xutang, a thin and beautiful young man, also looked majestic.
Qin Jie's eyebrows wrinkled more and more, and his two eyebrows twisted into a rope.
The previous passion has completely calmed down, and his reason has returned to his ugly head, allowing him to think in an orderly manner.
If you follow Zhang Xutang to find the lost tax money on Liangguang Road, not only will you fulfill the Zhang family's wishes, but you will also bring the entire Qin family to the side of the Zhang family.
He didn't want to get involved in the fight for reserves.
But if they don't go, although the Qin family is also a famous family, their chances of winning against the Zhang family are negligible.
Zhang Xutang ignored Qin Jie's concerns. He was examining every brick, beam, rockery, and landscaping here.
He didn't have a sharp eye, so every time he saw something strange, he asked Xiao Wei to go check it out. After checking three or four places in this way, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at a corner of silver light exposed in the rockery.
Originally the overwhelming Yidi brocade covered this place, but after a fire, there were flaws here.
"Xiaowei, go take a look."
He watched Xiao Wei step forward, his nervous hands clenched into fists, his head tilted slightly, his eyes following Xiao Wei's hand, and he pushed the door open bit by bit.
There was a "bang", the sound echoed from the inside out, and the cool damp air from the ground rushed out.
The wind got in and there was no way out, so there was a whimpering sound, like a heavy mist fighting a trapped beast in the dark hell.
Zhang Xutang showed a satisfied smile, and Qin Jie slowly raised one leg and walked in with many officials and servants behind him.
This is a tunnel entrance. Only one person can pass through the entrance. However, after entering this narrow door and going down the steps, the inside becomes wider.
I don't know who lit the lamp, and the light was dim, illuminating everyone's faces indistinctly.
They had no time to look around, and could only lower their heads to look at their feet. The stone steps under their feet were very smooth, but due to the humidity for many days, there were many water droplets on them. If they were not careful, not only would they fall, but also everything in front, back, and left would be injured.
Fall down.
There was nowhere to put my hands because there were water drops all over the walls.
Zhang Xutang rode Xiao Wei at the back. As soon as he entered the dark tunnel, he took a deep breath of the moisture coming out of it.
The wet and hot smell was mixed with the smell of blood.
This smell seems to have penetrated under the soil and cannot be seen with the eyes, but if you just smell it with your nose, the scene of rivers of blood and mountains of corpses will appear in your mind.
He became excited and forgot about the pain in his body. He opened his eyes wide and did not miss any clues.
However, after going all the way, he still didn't see what he wanted.
The tamped floor was very clean, and there were still traces of cleaning. There was no cage, blood, corpse, or silver as Zhang Xutang imagined. It was just neat and tidy, like a huge tomb.
