187 Death in Flames

After hearing this, the clerk came forward to take a look, and saw that what was spread out on the table was indeed a letter of divorce.

It was the piece of paper that Shen Zui tried every means to deceive Huai Mo into painting.

The shopkeeper grabbed it and threw it at the waiter, scoffing coldly, "Li San'er, you stole it yourself, you want it!"

Li San was unwilling to give in, thinking that if what he stole was gold, would he still say this? You stole it yourself, do you want it?

Li San didn't dare to disobey, he smiled honestly, and put the divorce note back into the small bag, "I'll go take a look at it tomorrow and take the opportunity to put the divorce note back and see where the gold is. Okay?"

"[

The shopkeeper was angry and had been working in vain for most of the night. He looked ugly and waved his hand impatiently, "Why don't you get out of here? Get up early tomorrow!"

Li San smiled apologetically, "Yes, yes."

After he left, the shopkeeper got angry when he remembered what he had learned most of the night. He lost his temper, got up, and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard the door being banged. The shopkeeper was furious and roared,

"Get out of here! Otherwise I'll beat you to death! Sassafras"

The sounds outside the door stopped, and the people outside seemed hesitant. When the shopkeeper heard that it was quiet outside, he blew his beard and lay down on the bed.

Li San's rustling voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Shopkeeper, there's a fire in the backyard..."

The shopkeeper suddenly got up from the bed, rushed to the door, opened the door, and slapped Li San in the face, "You bastard, why didn't you tell such an important thing earlier?!"

Li San was beaten so hard that he covered half of his face with his hands, and his eyes were full of cruelty. The shopkeeper had already passed him and rushed out, so naturally he didn't see him.

When the shopkeeper rushed to the backyard, the fire had spread throughout the courtyard. He didn't even dare to approach the courtyard door. The flames rushed toward him fiercely, and he kept retreating.

"Come on, come on, hurry up and put out the fire for me!"

"Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly!"



The guests who had already gone to bed and the waiters in the inn heard the screams of fire in the middle of the night. They all hurriedly dressed and got up, ready to escape. Not thinking that the main building was okay, everyone came back following the light of the fire.

Suddenly, the road leading to the backyard was full of people. However, except for the dozen or so waiters in the store who hurriedly put out the fire amidst the anger of the shopkeeper, most of the others were watching the fun, and there were even some who were pointing and making sarcastic remarks.

He said, "This fire is burning so tightly that I think the person living in it is dead. She must have done some evil in her life. God can't stand it and has come to take her in."

As soon as these words came out, the man's companions echoed, "Maybe he made too much money..."

Of course, there are also kind-hearted guests. After hearing this, they advised, "The people inside are about to be burned to death, so you want to add insult to injury? You should have some moral integrity. Being mean is also a sin."

The shopkeeper couldn't stand listening anymore and bowed to these people repeatedly, "Everyone, please go back and have a rest. Don't get smoked by the fireworks." The shopkeeper didn't say anything clearly, but these people blocked the road and blocked the fire fighting.

At this moment, a man suddenly rushed in from the outside of the crowd. He was a man in rich clothes. He strode over, grabbed the shopkeeper by his collar, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The shopkeeper usually had a strong impression of rich people. When he remembered that this person was Mu Li who was staying today, he grimaced and said with a smile, "Mr. Mu, this is what you saw."

Mu Li asked in a tight voice, "Where are the people inside?" [

The shopkeeper almost cried, he didn't want people to die in such a big way in his shop!

Mu Li frowned, threw the shopkeeper away with one hand, and stepped forward.

The shopkeeper was alert and hurriedly caught up with Mu Li, grabbing Mu Li and saying, "Young Master, you must not do this. The fire is so big. If you go in, you won't be able to get out."

The kinder guest from before also advised him, "Don't talk about going in. You can't even get in like this."

The shopkeeper nodded sharply towards Mu Li.

Mu Li frowned and looked at the fire in front of him, weighing it in his mind.

With such a fire, with his cultivation level, he could barely get in. If he moved quickly enough, he could take the people out immediately, and there would still be a glimmer of hope. But... it was too risky! Besides, he didn't know the people inside.

Is it still alive?

Although he did not hate the intoxication and even wanted to save her life, it was not worth the risk to save her.

Mu Li quickly made a decision in his heart, looked at the sky-wide flames, his eyes darkened, then turned around, pushed away everyone and left.

Since he didn't intend to save anyone, and he didn't have the leisure to watch the excitement, he simply left.

The shopkeeper wiped his cold sweat and was glad that Mu Li was gone. Otherwise, if such a luxurious customer as Mu Li died in his shop, the Mu family's family would report him to the official, and he would not have to hang out in this life.

After Mu Li left, the shopkeeper sent his waiters to quickly drive away all the bystanders, leaving no one behind.

He was so anxious at first that he let it slip. In fact, the rent in the backyard was the most expensive and no one had lived in it for more than a year. Just now, he should have decided that the people living in the backyard lived there.

As long as there are no casualties, even if the government comes to investigate, he will be fine. Naturally, he will not be afraid that the families of the two women will come to look for him. A divorced woman came to his shop in a state of confusion. She must be her husband's family.

No, my mother-in-law will dislike it.

The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more he felt that this was a blessing in his misfortune. Although he lost money... he felt heartbroken when he thought about the money. He had to keep telling himself in his heart that this was a loss of money to avoid disaster, and a loss of money to avoid disaster.

A fire burned all night and was extinguished only the next morning. By then, only ruins were left in the originally elegant courtyard.

The shopkeeper stayed there until the fire was extinguished. He was the first to walk into the ruins. Before the officials came, he asked the clerk to remove the cracked bones that were still inside. He also warned the clerk, "Whoever dares to leak it, I will kill him."

The whole family!”

He looked fiercely, and at the same time made a gesture with his hand on his neck. Several waiters were intimidated and lowered their heads. They did not dare to say anything and silently removed some severed hands and feet.

After things were done here, no one from the government came yet, and the shopkeeper began to worry that Mu Li would leak out.

Mu Li knew that two people lived here... After careful consideration, the shopkeeper returned to his room, opened the locked box, and took some fine pearls and jade from it. He endured the heartache and walked to Mu Li's room with it.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened from the inside.

Mu Li glanced at the jewelry in the shopkeeper's hand and said calmly, "Is something wrong?"

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "Master Mu, are you going out?" [

"Well, check out."

The shopkeeper's mind turned around, "I wonder where the young master is going?"

Mu Li sneered, "Where I want to go is beyond your control."

After saying that, Mu Li passed the shopkeeper and went downstairs. The shopkeeper was stern, fearing that the news would be leaked when Mu Li left, so he hurriedly chased after him, "Mr. Mu, can you take a step to speak?"

Mu Li said as he walked, "No need, just go about your business with ease, I mean to embarrass you."

The shopkeeper thought about Mu Li's words, but he was still worried and wanted to pester him again. Mu Li's face turned cold, "If you keep delaying me, I will let you have everything immediately."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he trembled and kept silent, not daring to pursue him any more. He saw Mu Li slowly walking towards the counter, paying and leaving.

He called Li San over again and warned, "Follow him and see where he goes."

Li San nodded and followed out. Soon he came back and said to the shopkeeper, "He has left Su City."

The shopkeeper finally let go of the mention and couldn't help but smile happily, "Okay, okay, just leave!"

In this way, no one will know that people were burned to death in the fire, and he can rest easy.

The shopkeeper left with satisfaction. Li San looked at his back and smiled coldly.

He didn't say that although Muli was gone, someone was coming...

In fact, as soon as he caught up with Mu Li, he was discovered by Mu Li. Mu Li became angry and gave him a lesson, saying coldly, "Go back and tell your shopkeeper that if he has time to guard against me, why not pack up Xinruan and run away! If let

The husband of the woman last night knew that she died here, and you, the shopkeeper, will die!"

After Mu Li finished speaking, he left. Naturally, Li San didn't dare to pursue him anymore. He wandered around for a while before returning to the inn.

Without the shopkeeper watching, Li San sneaked back to his room and took out the divorce letter he had hidden last night...

"Li San'er, where are you going?"

The cashier in front of the counter saw Li San leaving the store and called him to stop. Li San smiled at him and said, "Go out for a while and I'll be back soon."

The cashier laughed and scolded, "Are you itchy? Be careful the shopkeeper finds out."

Li San smiled and ran away to the county government office, holding the divorce letter tightly in his hand.



At the same time, Huaimo and his party had returned to the capital.

According to Emperor Wen's wishes, Jia Ling was brought into the palace to be married. Emperor Wen immediately ordered the Heavenly Supervisor to select an auspicious day to hold a wedding for Jia Ling and Huaimo. The Heavenly Supervisor did not dare to neglect and quickly calculated the date.

There is a good day right in front of us, it will be in three days. If we miss it, we will have to wait until next spring.
