Zhengyao hesitated for a moment, then turned to Li An and said, "Did Uncle An notice anything unusual before you left the Li Mansion? I'm talking about whether there was anyone special near the Li Mansion in the past few days.

haunt?"

Since the other party set the fire with premeditation and purpose, they must have prepared all the defenses beforehand. This is why Zhengyao asked these questions. It is absolutely impossible for a person with a plan and intention to accomplish one thing.

Acting hastily. Moreover, although the Li family is not a big family, it is still somewhat famous in Shu. In addition, due to Zhengyao's relationship with the emperor's consort, most people would act rashly, which is simply seeking death.

Therefore, Zhengyao also has reason to believe that the other party must have made careful arrangements. Since there have been arrangements, they must have appeared around Li Mansion.

Hearing Zhengyao's question, Li An paused and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Li An spoke again: "By the way, a few days before the fire broke out in Li's Mansion, an old fortune teller came here. I actually didn't believe this at first, but seeing that the old man was a little depressed, I didn't tell him.

Turned away. Under his suggestion, the master finally reluctantly allowed him to walk around the Li Mansion. Finally, he placed a Feng Shui compass in the main room, saying it could make the Li Mansion prosperous.

Something like that."

It's okay that Zheng Yao didn't mention it. When he mentioned Li An, he really thought of an old fortune teller. But listening to what Li An said, there was nothing unusual about this old fortune teller.

After all, in a small place like Guan County, those fortune tellers, fortune tellers, geomancers, and acrobats like to wander around the streets, and often go directly into private houses, especially during the Chinese New Year.

This is the most common situation. In fact, by doing this, these people also aim to take the initiative to solicit some business.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, there is indeed nothing wrong with this.

"What happened next?"

Zhengyao narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Later, the master gave him some money, but he put it into his arms without even looking at it. It seemed that he didn't care at all whether the master gave him more or less. After he left, he never appeared again. I think

He is probably the kind of warlock who travels around the world! By the way, I suddenly remembered something. I wonder if it has something to do with the fire in the Li Mansion."

Li An said sincerely, and suddenly seemed to think of something again, and immediately looked at Zhengyao with a serious expression and said.

At this moment, in Zhengyao's opinion, there is something wrong with this old fortune teller. He is just a fortune teller running a business. How could he take money without looking at it? Obviously, this old fortune teller is definitely not as simple as an ordinary fortune teller.

Perhaps, he came here to investigate the structure of the Li Mansion. Don't forget, Li An said that this old fortune teller asked Li Chengfeng to take him around the Li Mansion!

"Oh? There's one more thing? Tell me quickly."

Zhengyao and even Ning'an Liu Yan and others couldn't help but become curious.

I have never heard Li An say these things before. Even when the fire broke out in the Li Mansion, he went out to pay off his son's gambling debt. It has been a month since Liu Yan and Ning An came to the Li Mansion.

Not a word was mentioned.

Of course, it's not that Li An deliberately concealed it. Maybe he felt that it didn't matter much, or he thought he was at fault and was embarrassed to speak out.

"It's like this. When I came back from the gambling house in the west of the city, I saw Guan Zhen and another young master on the Jiang'an Bridge. The two of them looked panicked. Among them, Guan Zhen was covering his right hand, as if

It was his right hand that was injured. Although I didn’t know what they were doing near Li’s house at night. I didn’t pay much attention to it at the time, but now that I think about it, I feel that there is something really strange about these two people.”

Li An said truthfully. Judging from his appearance, he was very concerned about this matter.

"Guan Zhen?"

Hearing this, a cold light suddenly flashed in Zhengyao's eyes, his black pupils instantly dilated, and his expression became unusually solemn.

Guan Zhen actually appeared around Li Mansion, which must be said to be a major discovery.

It was night when the Li Mansion caught fire. The Guan County Government Office was five miles away from the Li Mansion. Besides, there were no brothels or brothels around the Li Mansion, and there were even very few teahouses and restaurants. People like Guan Zhen came here at night, so naturally

It's a bit unreasonable.

Moreover, the person with him was a young master, which reminded Zhengyao of Zhang Sican who had just returned to Guan County to find trouble. You must know that Zhengyao and Zhang Sican had never met each other before, even if Zhang Sican

I am so idle that I am not so lucky as to only find trouble with Zhengyao. He said that he was teasing Zhou Bing because Zhou Bing has a good appearance and figure, but after all, Zhou Bing has a morbid look on his face. I believe that even a normal person would not tease him.

A sick young man.

Perhaps Zhengyao has already thought at this moment that this incident of teasing that escalated into a fight was not an accidental misunderstanding at all. It can even be said without hesitation that it was probably a trap.

Guan Zhen and Zhang Sican were in the same group, and Guan Zhen and Zhang Sican had appeared around Li Mansion before when the fire broke out in Li Mansion. Coincidentally, Guan Zhen's right hand was injured. According to what the officials said, he

Guan Zhen's right hand was injured on the day of the fire. Through careful observation, Zhengyao found that the scar on Guan Zhen's hand looked like a burn from fire. From this...

"Well, that's right. Guan Zhen had only been in office for a month at that time. Logically speaking, he should have a lot of things to deal with, but I didn't expect that he could come here leisurely at night. It was obvious that there was a problem, but there was no evidence, and I didn't dare to mess with it.

explain."

Li An was a little indignant. He was naturally unhappy about the fire in the Li Mansion and the death of Li Chengfeng. The Li Mansion was his home, and he already regarded Li Chengfeng as his own relative. Now that the Li Mansion was in trouble, although he

You can't do anything, but you can at least feel unfair about it.

However, what Li An said is not unreasonable. A magistrate who has a crush on him is still a novice no matter what. He still has many things to learn and many things to deal with, but he still has the leisure to run around, and he still looks like a man at night.

How can you not make others suspicious by looking so sneaky?

Rao Zhengyao also nodded, and immediately said: "Well, there is a problem with Guan Zhen. I have noticed it before in the Yamen. What about after the fire? Did Uncle An find anything?"

Li An has already talked about what happened before the fire, and Zheng Yao also has a general understanding. For now, although there are still no specific clues, Guan Zhen may be a breakthrough. And did anything happen after the fire?

Things, this is also very important, maybe because of this, the whole thing will be clarified!

Li An hesitated again. After a moment, he said again: "After the fire, I arranged for people to put out the fire in the mansion and clean up the mess. As for the area around Li's mansion, there was nothing unusual, except that there was a young man looking around at the door of Li's mansion from time to time.

of, like

What were you looking for? Finally, I asked my servant where to put the debris that was cleaned up after the fire. But at that time, I was so busy that I had no time to pay attention to it, so I didn’t take it seriously. By the way, young master.

, isn’t there anything strange about this?”

With that said, Li An looked at Zhengyao with a puzzled look.

Of course he hopes that what he said will work. He also knows Zhengyao's ability, and because of Zhengyao's outstanding performance, Li An is also deeply gratified. Now he doesn't think about anything anymore, he just hopes to be able to die soon.

Find the person who set the fire and let Li Chengfeng find out.

"Young master? Is he the same master who appeared at Jiang'an Bridge with Guan Zhen that day?"

After hearing what Li An said, Zhengyao just nodded. When Li An asked him doubtfully, Zhengyao immediately asked back. His expression seemed to be like he had discovered something.

"Still...don't tell me, well...it seems like it's really him!"

It was okay if Zheng Yao didn't say anything, but when he did, Li An couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then said decisively.

"Speaking of Zhengyao, how do you know that this young master is the one who was with Guan Zhen?"

Yuan Haiyun on the side was a little confused. He immediately followed the voice and asked.

Zhengyao asked a lot of questions, and Yuan Haiyun also understood that the investigation of the case should start with every detail, especially before and after the incident. But it seemed that because Zhengyao's pace was too fast, Yuan Haiyun could not keep up, so Zhengyao asked

When he came out to attack the young master, Yuan Haiyun did not react.

However, Zhengyao ignored Yuan Haiyun's doubts, but turned to look at Ning An and said: "Princess, didn't Deputy Manager Jin say that you found a jade ring in my father's hand? Then where is this ring now?

"

Zhengyao's mind jumped quickly, and he suddenly jumped from the young master to the jade ring finger. This may not be a big deal to Zhengyao, but in the eyes of others, especially Yuan Haiyun, who reacted a little slowly, and Yuan Haiyun who was not very responsive.

Liang Yu, who is good at thinking, seems to be confused by this.

"Jade ring? What do you want with this? I've seen it, it's not my father-in-law's property."

Ning'an was also curious and puzzled by Zhengyao's question.

Father-in-law, of course, is not the kind of father-in-law who is a palace eunuch, but the name Ning An calls Li Chengfeng.

"Third brother, are you saying that this jade ring may have been left by the person who set the fire? And you suspect that the young master and Guan Zhen are the suspected arsonists?"

At this time, Liu Yan immediately followed the voice and asked, as if he saw Zhengyao's intention.

Liu Yan is indeed the most talented man in the Southwest, and his intelligence is no less intelligent than Zheng Yao. Among many people, Liu Yan is the only one who can resonate with Zheng Yao. Many times, even Zhang Cheng cannot.

But after hearing what Liu Yan said, Zhengyao couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, I suspect that the young master was looking for this jade ring, so he was circling around the Li Mansion after the fire. And this

Young Master, I think I can guess it, Haiyun Bingmei, you also know this person."

"We also know each other?"

Zhou Bing and Yuan Haiyun were both surprised. Zhengyao's words made them even more confused.

"Yes, this person is none other than Zhang Sican, who went to court with us before!"

"What? Zhang Sican?"

Yuan Haiyun, Zhou Bing and others were suddenly stunned, while Ning'an Liu Yan, Liang Yu and others were also stunned.

Zhang Sican, anyone who has lived in Sichuan for a period of time should know that this person is the nephew of Sichuan Chief Envoy Zhang Jin. Ning An even met him many times. Zhang Jin once wanted to

Bring Ning An and Zhang Sican together!

But listening to Zhengyao's tone, it seems that Zhang Sican is really suspicious!
