Chapter 100 Arson in the middle of the night

Author: Egret Ye Qilin

Shopkeeper Lu quickly counted the forces behind Yang Mu.

"I don't know what this village girl is capable of. When she opened her business this morning, all the stars gathered! Chairman Jin's daughter, Hang County Magistrate's daughter, and even Wang Daru came to support her. And the guards beside her

, they are obviously the bandits from Jiguan Mountain!"

Shopkeeper Lu still feels palpitating when talking about these things. Why do you think this is impossible?

If he knew that among those crowds, there were also Prince Su from Lin'an County Prince's Palace and Prince Ding from Prince Ding's Palace, he would probably be scared to death.

In their small Baiyun County, the most noble person is the county magistrate. Where have you seen such a big shot?

Miao Jun smiled cynically and said: "I'm here to patrol the store this time, and I don't have many people with me. Since we can't come in the open, let's come in the dark. We'll find two people tonight to destroy that Wanxiangfang

Burn it with a fire. And that little village girl, just kill her with a knife."

He called for someone, and the guards quickly came in.

Miao Jun asked: "When you find a little village girl to live alone, kill her with one knife. Do it cleanly and don't let anyone find us."

Shopkeeper Lu quickly reminded: "That village girl knows kung fu!"

Miao Jun sneered, "What's wrong with knowing kung fu? My guard is a master of the seventh level of Qi training. Is it possible that he can't beat a little village girl?"

For a village girl to dare to name her shop "Wanxiangfang" is a capital offense in itself.

After a pause, Miao Jun smiled maliciously and asked Shopkeeper Lu, "What does that little village girl look like?"

Shopkeeper Lu showed a smile that every man knows and said: "She looks very graceful and has a pretty figure."

Miao Jun laughed loudly and said to the guard: "No need to kill him, just bring him back and I will enjoy it."

Shopkeeper Lu showed a sinister smile, "Little village girl, you were the one who offended our Yixiangfang in the first place, don't blame our boss for destroying the flower!"



Here, Yang Mu is very busy, business is so good, she spends most of her time in the kitchen.

Fortunately, Wang Daru and others were entertained by Lin Xiao, so she was spared the trouble of running in both directions.

I don’t know what happened, but word spread about Wang Daru’s stay in Wanxiangfang. Some scholars came here because of his reputation and lined up outside the shop, hoping to see Wang Daru.

As a result, a strange scene occurred outside Wanxiangfang. A group of Confucian scholars lined up to buy cakes.

Those who didn't know better thought this was a Gongyuan where students had to take exams.

Today was so busy that Yang Mu didn't have time to make lunch, so he asked Fang Fugui, who was wearing escort clothes, to buy some lunch.

Everyone gathered in the backyard to eat some, and Wang Daru and others left.

Wang Daru was invited to give a lecture at Baiyun Academy in the afternoon, and Su Jinyu also said goodbye and left.

Wanxiangfang didn't come to Wanxiangfang until nightfall and there were no more pastries to sell.

Yang Mu sat behind the counter, happily settling accounts.

When the new store opened, all pastries were discounted at 20%, and the gross income was more than 30 taels of silver. After excluding the cost and labor costs, it was at least half of the profit.

Lin Xiao sat on the table nearby, looking at the little girl's eyes shining with greed for money, and said to Lu Shan beside him: "You will stay in the store tonight to prevent trouble in Yixiangfang."

Lu Shan asked: "Then, can I bring my brother to the store to accompany me?"

Lin Xiao asked in surprise: "Do you have any brothers in Baiyun County?"

Lu Shan nodded seriously and said, "Yes! His surname is Hei, his given name is Daya, his given name is Yi Er, and he is General Haotie!"

Lin Xiao: "..."

I suspect you are playing tricks on me, but I have no proof.

As night falls, South Street, which was bustling during the day, has fallen asleep.

Two figures in black clothes blended into the night and sneakily approached Wanxiangfang, which had just opened today.

Smelling the cake smell wafting from inside, they both swallowed their saliva.

No wonder the shopkeeper wants to burn down the shop. Who can withstand the smell?

It’s been a long time, where is the Yixiangfang business?

The two of them looked at each other, and one of them took a bucket of kerosene and poured it on the door of Wanxiangfang.

The two people who were working seriously did not realize that a group of people was coming in this direction.

After Wang Daru finished his lecture today, he was forced by the dean of Baiyun Academy to go drink. The lecture has just ended.

Wang Daru frowned, smelled it, burped, and asked, "Do you smell the smell of kerosene?"

Su Jinyu on the side was also a little drunk, and she felt a little dizzy while being supported by the boy.

He blushed and smelled it, then nodded seriously, "I smell it!"

Two seconds later, the two of them were so shocked by the smell that they lost their drunkenness.

Wang Daru squinted at the two black figures sticking out their butts and pouring kerosene at the door of Wanxiangfang, and shouted: "Hey! Who are you waiting for?"

This was the first time for the two black figures to do such a thing. Wang Daru was so frightened that he almost peed his pants. He hurriedly threw away the kerosene bucket and ran away without looking back.

They didn't notice that there was a tall black shadow following them.

Su Jinyu hurriedly asked the boy to report to the official.

Not long after, Patou Zhong from the county government arrived with his people. Looking at the kerosene all over the floor, Patou Zhong felt a lingering fear in his heart.

There are many shops on South Street, not far from each other. If there is a fire, the whole street will be burned down.

When Captain Zhong arrived, Wang Daru and Su Jinyu had already knocked on the door to wake up Zhou Dazhuang and his wife.

The two hurriedly fetched water to clean the kerosene.

Zhong Captou was worried that some bad guys would take revenge on Su Jinyu and others who reported to the police, so he sent them both to the inn.

When Captain Zhong returned to the Yamen, he found two large sacks at the gate. When he opened them, the people inside were revealed, and they turned out to be two men in black who had been beaten up.

The man in black had a distinct smell of kerosene on his body.

Needless to say, the arsonist was found.

At the same time, Lu Shan knocked on the door of Peach Blossom Lane.

It was Mu Chen who opened the door.

Lu Shan looked at him with disgust, "Why are you wearing a bamboo hat in the middle of the night?"

Mu Chen said expressionlessly, "It's raining."

Lu Shan raised her head and looked at the sky. The thin drizzle was falling slantingly. She curled her lips and said, "Girls, this is called rain?"

He was about to stride in, but Mu Chen took a step back and closed the door directly.

The door panel hit Lu Shan directly on the face. Lu Shan covered his bleeding nose and shouted: "Mu Chen, open the door for me!"

Mu Chen's gloomy voice came from behind the door, "Can't you find a girl to open the door for you?"

Lu Shan choked and secretly scolded Mu Chen for being stingy.

Yang Mu was practicing martial arts in the backyard. Hearing the noise in the front yard, he came to open the door.

After the door opened, Lu Shan saw Yang Mu holding a bamboo stick in his hand and looking heroic. He smiled and squeezed in sideways. He glared at Mu Chen who was standing by the wall and muttered: "It's better.

The Crown Prince’s wife is manly!”

Yang Mu heard this sentence completely: "?!"

She looked at her figure. Yes, she had grown!

So, where did I give you such a wrong understanding?

She followed Lu Shan into the backyard with a speechless face, and then heard Lu Shan say to Lin Xiao: "Your Majesty, your guess is good. Sure enough, someone came to the door of the shop and set fire to it in the middle of the night."

He told how the two poured kerosene and how they were discovered by Wang Daru, and then said: "I saw the two grandsons running away, so I chased them and found a deserted place to interrogate them.

Finally, I put it in a sack and threw it at the yamen gate."

Lin Xiao nodded and asked, "So, who sent them here?"

Lu Shan snorted coldly: "Yixiangfang. The two grandsons said that the owner of Yixiangfang, Mr. Miao, came today. The method of setting the fire should be ordered by Mr. Miao."

Yang Mu Nu started from the heart, Wanxiangfang was her brainchild, and shopkeeper Lu repeatedly came to her to trouble her. It seems that just having her teeth knocked out is not enough to scare the old turtle grandson!

She picked up a bamboo standing by the wall and went out with a sullen face.
