Chapter 75 Virtue is the foundation, wealth is the last

The one who sets fire, Chen Zhi!

As soon as these words were said, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

A famous master retreated one after another, with different expressions. Although Chen A-san showed joy, he knew it was not suitable, so he quickly lowered his head and hid his expression.

"Oh? Chen Zhi set fire? Is there any certificate? Then let him come over to confront him." Liu Yang narrowed his eyes, his expression became serious, his eyes swept across everyone, and there was already speculation in his heart, so he knew that Chen Zhi had left, but he still said this deliberately.

The charge of arson is quite serious. Even the aristocratic family cannot suppress it. We must ask clearly.

When he asked, the expressions of the people on the other side became unnatural.

Bai Qing looked embarrassed. As soon as she made up her mind, she was asked the point and had to answer. She had to say truthfully: "This, Chen Zhiren has already run away."

"Running?" Liu Yang raised his eyebrows, "I really think my news is blocked? Chen Zhi came to the appointment tonight and brought a book boy, a scholar, and a book boy. He lit the fire and ran away under the surroundings of so many people?" He showed a sarcasm.

It seemed as if to cooperate with his words, there were endless shouts of shouting around him. A servant from the hospital was very busy while running around. After a rough calculation, there were at least twenty people, most of them were Kong Wu’s powerful hospital guards.

A weak scholar also brought a bottle of oil to set fire. He wanted to run away without a trace under the siege of the ward. No one would believe anyone who told him. Naturally, they would not have thought that Chen Zhi sent Kong Li to disturb him and planned the retreat route in advance.

But at this point, Bai Qing had no turning back and could only continue, "Chen Zhizhi was cunning and had external responses. I guess Chen... could only escape by colluding with many accomplices." He finally had a trace of rationality. He wanted to say that it was the help of the Chen family, but then realized that if he was involved in the Chen family, he lost the opportunity to take every step forward, and there was no way out, and the nature of the whole thing changed.

This is like the court prosecutors. First, they aim at small officials and small officials, follow the clues step by step, and finally pry off the entire wall. This is a way of fighting to make a big difference with small numbers.

"There is no basis for saying something, can there be evidence?" Liu Yang was unmoved and looked like he was doing business.

"Yes," Bai Qing pointed to everyone around him, "We are all witnesses. Chen Zhi first numbed us with words, and then he set fire after leaving. Some subordinates were ambushing him and asked him to leave. He also asked the county magistrate to uphold justice for us!" He bowed and spoke sincerely.

This is just talking lies with open eyes, and there are many loopholes in it. But sometimes, whether a thing is exposed depends on the person who speaks and listens, not the matter itself.

When the other archers heard this, they were very reluctant. Several of them were willing to argue, but when they thought about Bai Qing's appearance just now, they didn't want to offend him now. Finally, they looked at each other and five people came forward and said, "The fire was too big just now, and I didn't see clearly. Now I'm tight and panting, and I'm probably choking on the cigarette. I feel uncomfortable. I have to go back to see the doctor first, County Magistrate Liu, I will say goodbye first."

Bai Qing looked at it and felt a little clear. He had just sucked the breath of the open fire sac. When he saw Qingyuanzhuang being destroyed, he was angry and his mind was confused. He was a little clear-headed at this moment, but he had already said that he could not change his words immediately. When he looked up at Liu Yang, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Liu County Magistrate, this matter is not small today. How much silver has I spent on my building? County Magistrate, you must also know that those involved must ask clearly."

When the five staging owners who wanted to leave heard this, they were immediately dissatisfied, but they did not dare to say more in front of Liu Yang, and just looked at Bai Qing.

Liu Yang narrowed his eyes, looked at the words, looked at everyone, and finally thought of the rumors he heard about County Magistrate Yang.

"It's all messy. What kind of reliance on this Bai Qing? Without reliance, he would definitely not do such a thing. It would be fine, and it wouldn't be a big deal to ask."

As soon as he thought of this, he said expressionlessly: "Bai Dangjia is right. You guys must also go to the yamen to ask about the situation. There is also Chen Zhi... Zhang Hu, if you take someone to the Chen family, you will first inform Brother Chen Chi, and then ask Mr. Chen Qi to go to the court. I will report to the county magistrate."

"No!" The Zao Li Zhang Hu immediately took the order, looked at Bai Qing and others, and turned around and left.

When several staging owners who wanted to escape saw it, they were about to say something again, Liu Yang waved his hand and said, "When I arrive at the yamen, I will argue again. Those are witnesses, so I will definitely leave."

"Yes, we brothers, we will advance and retreat together." Bai Qing also took a step forward, looked at the few people, and warned them secretly, but the results were very little. Those people were not stupid. Fraudulent accusing scholars and coercioning the aristocratic families to pay off their debts was not the same concept. They didn't want to get involved at all, and Bai Qing was anxious.

Liu Yang didn't care much about it, so he put the letter away, sent it to the yamen first, and then said lightly: "Everyone, go to the yamen first, and when Chen Zhi arrives, he confronts him in the hall. I just don't know where he is at this time, so I'll take the lead."

After saying that, he left without stopping. According to Liu Yang's words, he had to report to the county magistrate first, but he did not go to the county government office after leaving, but went around and arrived at the Liu Mansion first.

"The Fourth Master is here." The servants and maids in the mansion bowed one after another when they saw Liu Yang.

Liu Yang just nodded in a hurry, and soon the Liu family's chief manager came up to meet him. When he saw Liu Yang's appearance, he knew that there was something urgent.

"Fourth Master, do you want to call the old lady?"

"Um."

After saying that, the two of them walked quickly.

It was too late at this time, and most of the rooms in the mansion were not shining. However, when passing by Liu Gang's residence, he saw the lights inside and could vaguely see a figure writing at his desk. He couldn't help but nod.

The manager watched from the side and smiled and said, "The Fifth Master has been working hard these two days. He said that he had learned what Mr. Chen said, "I have learned something repeatedly. I have a shallow understanding and know that I have done profound knowledge." He knew that the Fourth Master was optimistic about Liu Gang, so he took the opportunity to flatter the two of them.

When Liu Yang heard this, he became confused.

What is the words of Mr. Chen? Which Mr. Chen? Is it the son of the Duke of the Pre-Qin Dynasty?

He didn't have time to go into it now, so he just nodded and carried it.

Soon, in the separate yard in the backyard, Liu Yang saw Liu Taigong with sleepy eyes open and quickly accused him: "It's a crime to disturb my father's sleep." Originally, he should have talked to his elder brother about this, but the Liu family also went to Liu County. The one who keeps his words at home was Liu Taigong.

"Don't do this. You come to me at this time. What happened?" Liu Taigong looked serious and looked serious.

Liu Yang did not dare to delay, and he rushed to the yamen, so he briefly explained the matter of Qingyuanzhuang and finally asked: "Father, how can we deal with this matter? County Magistrate Yang was determined to suppress the Chen family before Xu Fang. If Bai Qing was added, it might be possible to achieve success."

"Haha," Liu Taigong sneered, "Who is Bai Qing? A businessman who runs a gambling shop has such a bad reputation. How can my Liu family be with such people? That is, the merchant who falls into the eyes of money will think that as long as the price is explained, it will be possible to bargain, and disaster will not be far away."

"You can't say that, right?" Liu Yang heard this and felt a cold sweat on his back. He was only responsible for the interests of the mine. After hearing this, did he not agree with digging the corners of the Chen family?

"Why can't you say that?" Liu Taigong still had a serious face. "I don't know how many people like Bai Qing have seen. I thought everything could be estimated and I didn't understand the meaning of virtue at all. He thought that someone in his family would become a noble family? A joke! Just based on his casinos, within three generations, there is no hope of being included in the product! Looking forward, I have told you many times, virtue is the root of the root of wealth."

Liu Yang quickly admitted his mistake, but then he reminded him in a vague way: "But no matter what Bai Qing is, he must have reliance on this, and maybe he can use it."

Liu Taigong showed a cunning smile on his old-fashioned face: "Looking at it, you still don't understand. People like Bai Qing think that everything can be cleared with benefits, so they dare to do whatever they want, but he doesn't understand that some things cannot be cleared with benefits! Besides, Chen Zhi's son is not simple. Bai Qing used to force him, but he did not respond. It was dormant. Now that he is no longer hiding, he must find someone to sacrifice the flag."

Liu Yang hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "What do I do? And the matter about that mine..."

"You just do business," Liu Taigong shook his head, "As for the mine, it was a provocation by the county magistrate. My Liu family gave him face, which does not mean that he had to have a quarrel with the Chen family. After Bai Qing's incident, you will know what to do, go."

……………………

On the other side, outside Xu Zhi's house, Chen Zhizheng bowed and said goodbye.

"Thank you for your hospitality. Students must keep in mind Mr. Xu's teachings. It's getting late, so please rest on Xu Gong's security."

After some polite words, Chen Zhi led Chen Wu away from the San Lao's house and walked along the alley.

Because it was getting late and there were no pedestrians around, according to the government regulations, the people were not allowed to leave home easily at night. Children from aristocratic families had to use lights when they went out. Therefore, when they left Shulinzhai, Chen Zhi asked Chen Wu to bring lanterns. When they started playing, even if there were people like the ones who saw it, they would not ask and keep the road smooth.

While walking, he was thinking about Qingyuanzhuang.

"I used the prescription from my previous life to match the open fire sac. Itchy and numbness. The open fire sac can accelerate the fire. It will make itchy when it is touched with itchy and numbness, and it will last for half an hour..."

It turned out that Chen Zhi told Chen Fu that the medicinal materials purchased were to mix open fire capsules and Yituo San.

The open fire capsule is colorless and odorless, and is made of a variety of non-toxic medicinal materials. Once prepared, the effective time is very short and it will fail if it is not used within twelve hours. Therefore, Chen Zhi is configured on the same day and used on the same day.

Yima San is something handed over to Kong Guardian. It is used to deal with the Bai family's guardian. It will disperse as soon as it is thrown away and falls on the pursuers, making itchy and difficult to move forward. It not only helps Kong Li to stop the pursuit, but also makes it easy for Chen Zhi to leave.

"Qingyuan Village is a wooden stake framed and earthen wall, all of which are flammable. Five steps and one lamp is lantern full of the building. These are all open flames. I took the money and did not collect the loan note. Once the lottery draw, 90% of the side effects should be on the silver cake and add the open flame bag, which is 99%."

Wooden, lights, and ignition-enhancing objects, but side effects will not hurt people.

Everything is ready, and the chances are superimposed with the transfer of silver.

"After this busy schedule, you should improve your reputation as soon as possible, so as to warn the prefectures and counties to pay attention to Wang Mi..."

With this idea, the master and servant walked out of the street, and suddenly there were chaotic footsteps. Many people were running quickly, shouting "Walk on the water" and "ignited" and running in one direction.

"What's going on?" Chen Wu was stunned, as if he had come to another world. It was still a quiet alley just now, and in a blink of an eye it was a chaotic street, with ice and fire.

Chen Zhi stopped and looked in one direction.

At the end of the gaze, at the corner of the street, there were several beggar-like men and women observing the chaotic crowd, one of whom was lying on the ground, holding a pen, and was writing something.

Suddenly, one of them noticed Chen Zhi's gaze, patted his companions beside him, and after a few of them whispered, they hurriedly left.

"Young Master, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Chen Zhi withdrew his gaze and felt puzzled.

"Those people seem to be in a down-and-out, ragged, but full-faced and strong-body. They are not beggars, but rather spies. This is strange. It is not surprising that the warlords in their previous lives and they sent spies to each other. Now it is considered a peaceful world and the world is unified. Who sent spies to Pengcheng to investigate?"
