"Yi'er!"

Xu Yan grabbed Gu Yi who was about to rush over to settle the score with the third prince, "Listen to my uncle, it's important to put out the fire now. Let's talk about other things after dawn."

The third prince noticed the movement here and looked over.

With eyes facing each other, Gu Yi smiled provocatively.

Something suddenly flashed in the third prince's mind, and he strode over, "Is it the fire you set?"

"The Third Prince..."

Mr. Xu Er stood up in front of Gu Yi, saluted him, and said, "What do you mean?"

"He treated me just now..."

After speaking, the third prince realized that he was impulsive. Gu Yi's provocative smile just now might be to anger him!

"how?"

Mr. Xu Er had a bad tone. He had always had a gentle temper, but now he was a little angry. The third prince knew that Gu Yi and Yue'er had been married, but he repeatedly bullied people like this. He really thought that the Xu family was easy to mess with?!

The Duke of Qi also came over. Seeing Mr. Xu Er getting angry, he hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "The third prince was just in a hurry, so please forgive me."

"The one who burns the Gu family's restaurant, what's the third prince in a hurry?"

The Duke of Qi was choked.

"The two are noble and they are all ordinary people here. If they collide with you, it will be bad. Please come back. Just have us here."

"Mr. Second Mr...."

"Please go back."

Seeing that he was really angry, Duke Qi had to wink at the third prince. The third prince opened his mouth and wanted to say something. When he met Gu Yi's angry gaze, his heart was filled with anger and angry resentment. He shook off his sleeves and turned around and left.

...

The fire lasted for an hour before it gradually faded. The county magistrate fell to the ground regardless of his image, looked at the ashes in front of him, and weakly ordered the master, "Go and check how many people are implicated!"

The master walked away quickly.

The county magistrate saw Mr. Xu Er and Xu Yan standing there with Gu Yi in the corner of his eyes. He wanted to go over, but he didn't get up, so he stopped moving. Anyway, his official career has come to an end, so he will be spared by those false gifts.

The master came back soon, "There are ten families that have been affected, one of which is the most serious. Half of the house was burned. Fortunately, there was no one in the family, and the other nine families are not too serious, just take a break."

The county magistrate nodded and signaled him to help him get up.

As soon as the master bent down, Song Wanyue came over, "Please ask me to count how many people have been affected and we will compensate you."

The master said what he had just said.

Hearing that no one was injured or killed, Song Wanyue breathed a sigh of relief and took out a silver note, "This is one hundred taels. I will give it to them first. If it is not enough, I will send someone to tell me."

"It's not enough. Ordinary people only need to pay thirty or forty taels of silver to build a few new houses. Except for the most serious one, almost no one needs to accompany the rest. Besides, the Gu family is also..."

"Hold it..."

Song Wanyue gave him the silver notes, "The Gu family has great business and great business. They don't care about this. If there is any surplus, they will be distributed to them to make up for the fright they were being suffered today."

"Then I'll take them to thank Miss Song, thank you Young Master Gu."

The master took it and put it away carefully.

"grown ups……"

Song Wanyue looked at the county magistrate and said word by word, "I want to report the case, but I don't know if it's appropriate at this time?"

The county magistrate moved his lips a few times and didn't say anything.

"No one of the guys in the restaurant escaped, that would be more than a dozen lives!"

The county magistrate's head was buzzing!

"The people who died yesterday and this fire must have been deliberately targeted by someone. Please investigate clearly and give us justice."

"Song, Miss Song..."

Thinking of the death of Manager Wei, the county magistrate's eyes turned dark. He knew clearly who the mastermind was behind the scenes! But he couldn't say that he still had a family to survive.

"I will do my best to investigate."

"Thank you sir"

Song Wanyue turned around, the county magistrate's body became weak and almost fell down again. The master quickly supported him with quick eyes and hands.

"Master..." The county magistrate didn't even have the strength to stand, and half of his body leaned against the master, "You said, can I still leave Qingping County safely?"

...

In the Song family's courtyard, the old man sent Xu Liang to several times. He knew that he had heard the fire was extinguished, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xu Liang to come and call them back, "Tell Gu Yi that the restaurant is gone, I will pay him to build it, so that he will not be sad, come back first, and wait for dawn to talk about anything."

Xu Liang came over and told Gu Yi the old man's words. Gu Yi's voice was hoarse, "I understand."

Seeing that he did not make a fuss, Mr. Xu Er breathed a sigh of relief and called Song Wanyue and Mr. Yao to come back together, leaving Xu Yan and Xiao Si to guard there.

After returning home, Xu and Meng both comforted Gu Yi, especially Meng, and gave Gu Yi a box directly, "There are silver notes here. If building a restaurant is not enough, my grandmother still has it."

"Grandma..."

As he spoke, Gu Yi's tears fell, "I don't feel sorry for the restaurant, I feel sorry for those dozen guys. None of them escaped!"

"What did you say?"

Everyone in the house was shocked!

The old man was even more disbelief, "How could this happen?"

Meng also came back to his senses, "Yes, why is this happening? Aren't they all young and strong men? How could they not escape?"

Gu Yi's tears fell more.

"Father, sister-in-law..."

Mr. Xu Er's voice was heartbroken, "Those guys should have been stolen before they got angry..."

He couldn't bear to say the following words.

The few people in the house were shocked again and couldn't speak.

That's more than a dozen lives!

After a while, the old man asked angrily, "What did the magistrate of Qingping say?"

"The fire has just been put out and no one has entered yet."

The old man suppressed the anger that surged in his heart, "Since that's the case, let's not make any guesses first. You are tired, go back and rest first, and wait for dawn before talking about it."

Everyone dispersed, and Mr. Xu Er stayed in the house.

"Father, the third prince and the Duke of Qi were too much. In order to seize the secret recipe in Yue'er, they actually took human life. They really did everything they could do! It's because we were behind Yue'er. If not, I wouldn't even imagine whether the Song family could live in this world!"

"I don't think it's the third prince or the Duke of Qi."

The old man still retained his rationality, "The emperor has not yet established a crown prince. The three adult princes are eyeing each other. They secretly recruit a large number of talents and need to spend a lot of money. But your reputation is here, and they will not do so obviously. I think there is someone else in the Shaojiu house."

"Who could it be? The Gu family's enemy?"

The old man said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow, you and I will accompany Gu Yi to the county government office, and ask Qingping County to come to the hall to announce the families of those who died yesterday, and ask carefully, and maybe you can find something."
