When Qin Zongheng heard this, he shook his head like a rattle:
"I never took him there, and I never told him about burying corpses. I just mentioned it to him when you sent it to my yard, and he even praised you."
Qin Zongliang: "So, if he did this, he either had his eye on me a long time ago, or he has been sending people to follow you, or you have his henchmen around you."
Qin Zongheng: "These people around me have been with me for many years, and only three of them started following me in recent years."
Qin Zongliang: "You go and reply to Jing Zhaoyin's people first. Don't feel guilty at all and just pretend not to know. I will take care of the rest for you. Leave the three people you just mentioned with me. , let me ask."
After Qin Zongheng got the answer, he felt confident and followed Jing Zhaoyin's people out of the house.
Qin Zongliang called his confidants: "Go and take the three people left by the second young master to a deserted place outside the city and deal with them. Dispose of the bodies so that no one will find them. Send someone to find out why those good civilians ran away. Dig the yard.”
After his confidant left, Qin Zongliang leaned on his chair and squinted his eyes slightly:
"It's too much to deceive others by not leaving any room. Your Highness, the Second Prince, are you so eager to seek death?"
Jingzhao Yin Mansion.
Qin Zongheng didn't know anything about it. He only said that his brother bought the house as a gift to him two years ago. As for when so many corpses were buried, he didn't know.
After an autopsy, it was found that the earliest corpse was ten years old. Qin Zongheng was still an eight or nine-year-old child at that time, so the suspicion was naturally ruled out.
When Chu Chengyao learned about the burial of the corpse, he couldn't help but sigh that God had helped him. He immediately ordered Chen Qingshan to conduct a strict investigation and find out the identity of each corpse. Clues would naturally be found.
Chen Qingshan had just found out some clues. Before Chu Chengyao could be happy, Zhong Yi came back to report that Chu Chengyao's two secret shops caught fire and all his belongings were burned.
Chu Chengyao: "Which two places?"
Zhong Yi: "The White Jade Hall in the east of the city, and the gambling house in the south of the city."
Chu Chengyao was furious: "The two most profitable shops were on fire?! Who did it?"
Zhong Yi: "Only one of the guys in the gambling house survived, and the others were burned to death. According to the guy who survived, the person who set the fire deliberately left him alive to send a message, saying that he was in retaliation for the fire you set a few days ago. Let you...let you be in peace."
Chu Chengyao looked confused: "Me? The person who set the fire knew that the shop was mine? When did I set the fire? No... Wasn't it Qin Zongheng's house that burned down a few days ago? Did he do it? What is this idiot going crazy about! Are you? Let’s check to see if there have been other fires in other houses in recent times.”
Zhong Yi followed the order and quickly left the house, but Chu Chengyao was puzzled. How could Qin Zongheng think that he had set the fire? How did he know that those two shops belonged to him?
In Yan Yuxuan.
Song Yi opened the bundle, and Lin Jinyan picked up the treasures inside and looked at them one by one:
"You have good taste. You took all the valuable things. Are they all here?"
Song Yi: "There is also a large bag in the inn where Cao Xian lives. It is inconvenient to bring too much into the house."
Lin Jinyan: "What's in that bag?"
Song Yi: "There are some like this, mostly gold bars and silver notes, but not much silver. The fire is too great, and Cao Xian and I can't take it."
Lin Jinyan: "The total amount of zeros and zeros totaled at least hundreds of thousands taels. The Duke's government didn't like these small coins and burned them directly. It gave us an advantage."
