One of the guards on duty outside the door suddenly turned back to look at the door. The door here has good sound insulation and is relatively tightly sealed, but he still wondered: "Did you hear it? There seems to be something unusual inside."
The other people immediately listened attentively, but after a long time they heard nothing.
Another guard said: "It should be the fire fighting outside."
Everyone listened carefully, and indeed heard some noises. With a little identification, they could tell that they were indeed the noisy noises of firefighting outside.
Even the person who seemed to have heard something moving inside thought it was true after thinking about it. If there was something abnormal inside, it would not have stopped ringing once.
So the group of guards outside the door didn't pay too much attention.
However, at the end of the room where the smoke filled the room, the red light in the fire stick nailed to the back of the chair became more and more conspicuous. The sparks were dim and uncertain. In the end, after suffering, an open flame suddenly appeared, and the flames just burned in the room.
The curved part of the chair back.
But the chair wood seemed difficult to burn, but the flames kept burning, and eventually the wood was burned.
As soon as the fire started, it surpassed the burning power of Huozhezi's flame. The fire immediately became fierce and soon ignited the entire back of the chair. It gradually passed to the coffee table beside it. The flames also ignited the wooden window sill, and the fire spread to the window sill.
The fire hinge nailed to the back of the chair was burned to pieces by the fire, and the small metal sleeve for the hoop fell to the ground with a clang.
The fire quickly spread to the coffee table next to it, and gradually transferred to the chairs next door.
The burning wood that fell to the ground also ignited the carpet, which immediately made the fire more intense. Then on the floor under the carpet, the fire became more and more intense.
"Look, the room over there seems to be on fire."
Suddenly someone in the garden outside pointed at the window of Wang Xuetang's room and shouted.
Those who heard the sound looked back and saw another commotion, especially the people in Langhuanju, who were immediately in a hurry.
There are also people from Chalushan. Chalushan has also placed a few sporadic guards in the garden to keep an eye on it, to prevent anyone from climbing up the walls and prying windows to disturb the manager.
Even those who noticed the fire in Wang Xuetang's room did not pay attention at first, thinking that something was going on inside. Later, they discovered that the brightness of the fire in the room was unusual. In the end, even the windows were on fire, and it was no longer obvious that there was a fire.
That's weird.
In a pavilion somewhere in the garden, there were several people watching the excitement.
The person holding his arms roared, "There were actually two fires. I thought the firewood shed accidentally caught fire."
A person with his hands behind his back said, "The firewood shed was on fire, and then the guest room was on fire. These two fires that followed each other seemed a little interesting."
Another person said: "I don't know what kind of trouble they are trying to cause. It seems that things will not be peaceful in Langhuanju tonight."
"Is it possible that there is a competitor who wants to destroy Langhuanju's sign?"
"Competition doesn't involve using such low-level means to destroy signs. You can burn mine today, and I can burn yours tomorrow. Isn't it childish to burn them back and forth?"
When Yu Qing and others heard the commotion, they opened the window and saw the blazing fire from the window of Wang Xuetang's house in the distance. They were all stunned. Why was it on fire?
The three brothers understood at a glance that the window on fire was exactly where the fire fold was set up.
Nanzhu couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Old Fifteen, are you trying to burn away the traces of your actions?"
Yu Qing, who was already startled and doubtful, rolled his eyes when he heard this, "I burned the traces of ghosts. Burning traces is of no use. As long as the target falls, you will know what it was when you look back. Who should be suspicious if there are no traces?"
You can't run away, there's no need, as long as it can't be proven that we did it. Of course, it would be better if there are no traces."
Nanzhu: "Then what's going on?"
Yu Qing: "I don't know either. It stands to reason that the air in the room is not circulated enough, so the fire should not turn into an open flame so easily."
In fact, he himself did not want to create too big an open flame, as the flames would easily attract the attention of outsiders. He was also worried that his success would be on the verge of failure, and that he would alert outsiders and call Wang Xuetang out in time.
Mu Aotie: "Is it successful or not?"
Yu Qing hesitated, "It's been so long, the smoke should be enough to seep into the inner room, right?"
It was useless to say anything now. I couldn't stay any longer and ran out of the room to check the scene.
I hid back before to avoid suspicion, but now that there is a fire there, I ran to take a look and it was okay. I found that there was a fire at Wang Xuetang but did nothing but it seemed a little abnormal...
On the balcony in the garden were the leftovers that Yu Qing and the others had eaten. At this time, no one bothered to clean up the place. Several figures fell on the balcony, and the leader was Lu Wudang, the shopkeeper of Lang Huanju.
He looked solemnly at the window where the flames rolled out, and said solemnly: "Everyone who has been in and out of Langhuanju today will be searched. Immediately seal Langhuanju, no one is allowed to go out, no need to worry about trespassers, kill!"
Anyone with a little bit of brainpower can see that there is something wrong with the two fires before and after. It cannot be a coincidence that they happened on the same night. Even if it is a coincidence, it must be strictly controlled and investigated.
"Yes." The two followers quickly flew away after accepting the order.
Bang! Wang Xuetang's door was kicked open by someone.
There was no answer when I knocked on the door, and thinking about the fire inside, who could care about etiquette or not disturbing me, so I just broke the door open.
As soon as the door burst open, thick smoke billowed inside and everyone quickly held their breath. Langhuanju personnel rushed in first to put out the fire, followed by Tu Xiukui and others who rushed straight into the inner room.
There was no need for lighting at the scene, the blazing fire was enough. The Chalosans immediately discovered Wang Xuetang lying at the door of the inner room.
"Head!"
Everyone in the Chalusan Mountains screamed in surprise. They all realized that something was wrong. Not to mention Wang Xuetang's cultivation level, even a martial-level monk would not be knocked down by such fireworks.
Tu Xiukui quickly hugged Wang Xuetang and left here first. In fact, as soon as the person was hugged into his arms, the feeling of her hand already made his heart tremble.
There were also other Chaloshan personnel who rushed in to collect Wang Xuetang’s personal belongings.
Thick smoke had rushed into the corridor, and Tu Xiukui ran out of the building with the man in his arms. Under the protection of a group of people, he laid Wang Xuetang flat on the ground and tried to rescue him urgently.
Some people quickly brought glowstones, others quickly picked up lanterns, and still others blew fire sticks.
However, when they saw Wang Xuetang's appearance clearly, everyone was shocked. His face was flushed purple, his thick neck was also flushed purple, and his eyes were bulging.
Tu Xiukui, who was kneeling in front of him, briefly checked his pulse, and then he was stunned. His hands that left him were trembling a little, and his lips were trembling a little.
The people in the Chalos Mountains on the side were stunned, but no one dared to ask what the outcome would be. In fact, they all saw it.
The feet standing in front of him moved away one after another, and then a pair of feet came in front of him again. Tu Xiukui slowly raised his head and saw Lu Wudang standing in front of him.
Lu Wudang also slowly squatted down and checked it with his own hands. Then his face became so gloomy that it seemed as if water was dripping from his face. He slowly stood up again and spoke out through gritted teeth, "It has nothing to do with fire."
, died of poisoning!”
Tu Xiukui's eyes flashed, and after some consideration, he quickly stood up and said to his left and right, "Please take care of the master's body." After that, he strode away.
Lu Wudang tilted his head and asked, "Where are you going?"
Tu Xiukui stopped and turned around, "The leader of our sect was killed here. How can Zheloshan stop? Naturally, I want to bring this matter to our sect."
Lu Wudang: "Headmaster Wang is resting in the house, and there are noble guards guarding the outside. Who can get close enough to poison him? It seems that it is most convenient for you to contact Mr. Wang, right?"
As soon as these words came out, many eyes around him immediately stared at Tu Xiukui, all showing surprise.
Also watching were three brothers, Yu Qing, who looked at each other quietly.
Tu Xiukui turned around fiercely and said angrily: "Could it be that you suspect that I was the one who poisoned you?"
Lu Wudang: "I didn't say it was you, but I hope you can understand that this is Langhuanju. It is Langhuanju, which is known as the safest inn in Haishi. Now someone has been poisoned in Langhuanju, and the person who died is still
As the leader of a big sect, I, Langhuanju, have to give an explanation to the deceased, and I also have to give an explanation to my own brand.
For Lang Huanju, this matter has smashed the sign and broken the sky. It cannot be solved. Not only you, but also anyone who is suspicious can't leave. I advise you to stay, if you insist on leaving by force.
, then we can only treat you as a thief with a guilty conscience. Don’t blame Langhuanju for being ignorant of the importance of his actions. Just stay, if there is any news that needs to be sent back to Chaloshan, I, Langhuanju, will do it for free."
Tu Xiukui had an angry look on his face, clenching his fists, and his chest was rising and falling rapidly. However, that was all he could do. He didn't have the courage to forcefully break into Langhuanju in Haishi. Naturally, he knew the background of Langhuanju.
of.
Without further ado, Lu Wudang went straight to the fire scene to check, and at the same time ordered his followers, "Notify the chief guard of Zhenhai Division immediately and ask him to bring enough troops to arrest the people. Verify the list of people who left Langhuanju as soon as possible.
Don’t miss any of them, catch them!”
He ordered the sealing of Langhuanju before to investigate the cause of the two fires. Now, people have died, and the dead person was an unusual guest. A leader of a large sect was killed in Langhuanju. The nature of the house has completely changed.
.As he said, Lang Huanju's signboard has been smashed, and this matter can no longer be rectified. He would rather offend other guests first and then apologize later than let the murderer go.
"Yes." The attendant took the order and left quickly.
The fire has been extinguished, but this fire cannot withstand the efforts of a group of monks to suppress it.
The three brothers Yu Qing walked around the body that was carried away. They were sure that Wang Xuetang was dead. They all pretended to sigh and sigh, and then naturally wandered back to their rooms.
As soon as the door was closed, the three of them looked at each other silently. Although they knew they had succeeded, they couldn't believe it. Just by them, they actually killed the head of Zhelushan?
Nanzhu broke the silence in a low voice, "Drink some tea?"
Yu Qing and Mu Aotie both nodded.
Until Da Tou had boiled the tea, the three of them drank tea in silence without saying a word.
All I could do was stay there, knowing that I couldn't get out now and couldn't leave Langhuanju. I didn't expect that there would be an open flame at Wang Xuetang, which exposed the situation early.
The three of them were all thinking about the same thing, and it was time to discuss how to deal with the possible consequences...
