Happy Little Scholar

The atmosphere in the Li family is different from that in the mansions of powerful officials outside. The master has a good temper, and the servants will not be punished too much even if they accidentally do something wrong. Gradually, the servants are relaxed.

They will naturally do what they should do, but they are relaxed and don’t have to worry. There will be heavy rewards during festivals and two days of vacation every month. This situation is impossible anywhere in Kyoto.

However, today, everyone is very alert and dare not slack off.

This is the first day that the second wife has returned. If there is any mistake, the master will not beat them, but will definitely deduct all their rewards for this month.

The maids are busy up and down, occasionally looking at a hall somewhere. They thought that the wife and the second lady were the most beautiful people in the world, but they didn’t expect that the second wife was not inferior at all. Even the girl Wan who came with the second wife, who might be the third wife, is not an ordinary beauty.

"Sister, please have some tea."

In the hall, Zui Mo held the tea and handed it to Ruyi with a smile.

Ruyi put the tea aside, stood up and took her hand, smiling: "Sister, you are welcome, come and sit."

Although there is still a ceremony missing, it is only that ceremony. The door of the Li family is easy to enter but difficult to leave. Once she enters the Li family, she can't think of leaving again.

What happened yesterday was actually very simple. Zeng Mansion was burned down by people sent by Prince Xin, and Yangliu Lane was occupied by relatives of the old Fang family. It was not good to take two unmarried women to the inn in the middle of the night. It would inevitably cause criticism. The best way is to take them back home to settle them.

The old lady who heard the news hurried over and worked until the middle of the night. She rested here directly and set the wedding date at the end of next month. The date was calculated by her in advance. She had missed several auspicious days. The next suitable one would be next month.

Zui Mo actually didn't think of these, but since the old lady had spoken, she couldn't refute, so she agreed without thinking, and then there was this scene in the morning.

What surprised Li Yi was that last night, Ruo Qing didn't refuse to move in with Zui Mo. If she didn't nod first, Zui Mo would probably not agree.

Prince Xin set the fire------he didn't have the heart to settle accounts with him.

Lao Fang stood in the yard, looked at the three women who were whispering in the house, and then looked at Li Yi, lowered his voice and asked: "Son-in-law, tell me the truth, did you deliberately ask someone to set the fire yesterday?"

Li Yi frowned at him and asked: "Do I look like this kind of person? You also saw those dead men with your own eyes. Besides, would I let them take such a big risk?"

Lao Fang thought about it, nodded, and asked again: "Then son-in-law, tell me honestly, is Prince Xin one of ours?"

Lao Fang asked this very well, and even Li Yi himself had such a question at a certain moment.

"I suddenly feel a little bit reluctant..." Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "How about just breaking his legs?"

"You said it was two legs last night."

"...Two legs?"

...

The fire at Zeng's house was neither a big nor a small matter. It did not cause much disturbance last night, nor did it cause much disturbance during the day.

Of course, some people cannot be concealed even if they want to.

Zeng Shichun walked in in a panic. When he saw Li Yi, he asked directly, "How is Zui Mo? Is he not injured?"

Li Yi shook his head and said, "It's just that the house was burned, and no one was injured."

After all, it was Zeng's house. Zeng Shichun showed a trace of sadness on his face and shook his head and said, "The house burned, so it burned. It's good that people are fine."

"Where is the arsonist? Has he been caught?"

He only knew about this matter in the morning. He came here in a hurry and did not go to the county government to inquire about the situation.

Li Yi shook his head, "They are all death warriors."

"Death warriors?" Zeng Shichun frowned, "Prince Xin?"

Even for the dignitaries in Kyoto, death warriors are not easy to train. It takes a huge amount of resources. Using death warriors to set fires may only be done by the princes.

If there are only clues about those death warriors, it will be difficult to investigate this case. Even if Prince Xin cannot compete for the crown prince, he is still a prince. Even if he is finally found, there will be no excessive punishment.

Knowing this matter, Li Yi has his own ideas. Zeng Shichun did not say much. After seeing Zui Mo, he hurried away again.

Not long after, Li Xuan and the eldest princess came to the door at the same time.

Li Yi was surprised and said, "The grand court meeting is only a few days away. You shouldn't be so idle, right?"

"I already know the matter." Li Mingzhu looked at him and said, "Even if we can find Prince Xin in the end, I'm afraid there will be no result. Now the grand court meeting is coming, and many officials have gathered in Kyoto. You must not do anything rash. The matter of Prince Xin will be dealt with after the grand court meeting."

"Don't worry, I know my limits." Li Yi shook his head and said, "At most, I burned down his Prince Xin's mansion..."

"------"

Seeing that Li Mingzhu and Li Xuan were looking at him, Li Yi waved his hand and said, "It's just a joke. Arson can easily implicate innocent people. Even if I break his legs, I won't do such a thing as arson."

"------"

"Let's not talk about this." Li Yi shook his head and said, "What about you, that matter..., how are you preparing?"

Li Xuan sat down beside him, took a gulp of tea, and said, "Let's talk about your burning of Prince Xin's Mansion. Do you have enough manpower? Do you want me to help? I can ask them to sprinkle kerosene from the air..."

...

The largest brothel in Kyoto.

Xiaozhu walked over with a teapot, pointed at a young man, and said, "Hey, that, your name is Xu Zheng, right? Let them rest for a while and drink a glass of water. We will move later. There is no rush."

The young man named Xu Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked with a smile, "Miss Xiaozhu, where are you moving to? Is it Zeng Mansion? I'll just ask them to send it directly there."

It would be fine if Zeng Mansion was not mentioned. As soon as Zeng Mansion was mentioned, Xiaozhu's face showed an angry expression. She waved her hand and said, "It's not Zeng Mansion. I will never go to Zeng Mansion again!"

Xu Zhengzheng She asked curiously, "What happened?"

"You don't know, last night, when we were about to go to bed, some bad guys set off rockets in the dark, and all the houses in Zeng's house were burned down. My lady and I were scared..." She patted her chest, looking frightened, "I can't imagine, if we all fell asleep last night, those bad guys, did they want to burn us to death..."

She naturally didn't know how strong the guards inside and outside Zeng's house were. Even in the middle of the night, there were people on duty, and such a thing would never happen.

"Zeng's house-----was set on fire?" Xu Zheng was stunned, lowered his head and asked, "Miss Xiaozhu knows..., who set the fire?"

"I don't know... Xiaozhu shook her head, and seemed to remember something, and said, "It seems that it was some prince Xin who sent death soldiers. Those people were too terrible, and they were not afraid of death. I also heard about it..., hey, you have rested well, just move quickly, just move it to the carriage outside, don't leave anything behind..."

"Okay! "

The young man responded readily, his face regained a smile, and he waved to the people behind him, "Be quick, so as not to delay the girl's business..."

Prince Xin's Mansion.

"What, just burn the house?" Prince Xin learned the news from a servant, waved his hand, and cursed: "A bunch of trash, you can't do such a small thing, what's the point of living..."

"Your Highness, the guards of the Zeng Mansion are too powerful. None of our death warriors have returned. I'm afraid..."

Prince Xin waved his hand, "Forget it, let him be proud for a few more days..."

In Prince Xin's Mansion, a man who looked like a butler pointed to several servants who were moving things and asked: "What are you moving?"

A servant smiled and said: "Reporting to Butler Zhao, this is the strong liquor purchased outside today..."

"Okay, okay, I know..." Butler Zhao waved his hand and reminded: "Go and get busy, remember to be careful..."
