Donglin at night is very quiet. This era does not have as many entertainment projects as in later generations. Besides some big business owners, most people do not have any habit of entertainment consumption. Therefore, after 10 o'clock, there will be no people on the road. In the old city areas such as Zhouxiang, which are well-connected, this situation is even more common.

When the time comes, the lights of every household are turned off, and most people are asleep. The whole alley is as quiet as a sleeping baby.

However, at this moment, a shrill cry broke through the night sky: "It's a fire!"

With this shout, a fire rose into the sky, and at the same time, the entire alley seemed to be awakened by the shout. The lights in the house were lit up one after another, and a person was wearing clothes while leaving the door.

"Hurry! Put out the fire, our Zhou family's ancestral hall is on fire, put out the fire!"

Someone was running around the street and calling on the neighbors and villagers in Zhouxiang to put out the fire. Not only did he see the Zhou family shouting for help when he went out, but he even woke up the Zhou family who was sleeping and called on more people to put out the fire.

Although these Zhou family members criticized and scolded each other in the ancestral hall, the Chinese people still care about the ancestors of the ancestral hall.

When they heard the fire in the ancestral hall, these people walked out of their houses and rushed towards the ancestral halls, helping to lift water and splash water to put out the fire. For a moment, on the road in the alley, they were running back and forth, and were in a hurry and panic.

Of course, some people thought of calling the fire alarm. After more than ten minutes, several fire trucks roared in. However, the alleys in Zhouxiang were too narrow, and there were many coal sheds, stoves, etc., which occupied too much space, resulting in the fire trucks not being able to enter. More than a dozen firefighters worked hard for more than half an hour, but in the end they had no choice but to give up cleaning and connected a long water pipe to extinguish the fire. At this time, the fire in the Zhou family ancestral hall was already quite large.

Finally, after several hours of hard work by firefighters and the Zhou family, the fire in the Zhou family's ancestral hall was barely extinguished, and at this time, it was already dawn.

With the slight skylight, I watched the Zhou Family Ancestral Hall after the fire was devastated, collapsed houses, broken door beams, and burned things everywhere. The wisps of blue smoke that floated out from time to time seemed to indicate whether there might be any extinguished Mars there.

All the Zhou family members stared at the scene of the Zhou family's ancestral hall. They were tired and confused, and the depressed aura was as real as the essence.

"This is all caused by that Zhou Ming!"

Suddenly a voice sounded, and a man with a dark face and ragged clothes jumped in front of all the Zhou family and said, "Think about it, our Zhou family has always been very good. It was only since Zhou Ming came to Donglin that we have become more and more unlucky day by day. First, our demolition funds were gone, and now even our ancestral hall has been burned and destroyed!"

"These rural gays just watched our Jiangnan well, so they wanted to come back in different ways. They just wanted to show off their genealogy, such as falling leaves returning to their roots and cultivating family trees!"

He also said: "And I want to see that the fire in our ancestral hall was clearly set up by Zhou Ming and the others. They are obviously not from our Zhou family. Now they want to go back to the Zhou family with a shameless face, but their names are not on the genealogy, so they want to burn the genealogy to make a death-free evidence..."

"Zhou Huangmin!"

A full of anger interrupted Zhou Huangmin's words. Grandpa Zhou Feiyi walked out of the crowd tremblingly, and pointed at Zhou Huangmin: "Do you still remember? Zhou Ming was invited back to edit the family tree. Now

How do you have the attitude to say such things?”

Zhou Huangmin took a step back guiltily, but he still insisted: "I invited Zhou Ming back to edit the family tree, so what? How did I know that he can be so shameless? Seeing that there is no name for their family tree, he actually burned our ancestral hall and family tree, and insisted on adding their family name?"

Zhou Huangmin became more and more comfortable, and finally asked Zhou Feiyi: "And dad, what's wrong with you? You were almost burned to death in the ancestral hall. Why are you still talking to Zhou Ming? Your mind is not burned out, right?"

Zhou Feiyi has always lived in the Zhou family ancestral hall. After the ancestral hall caught fire, he was the first to come out to call for help.

"It was you, the beast who was burned by the fire!" Zhou Feiyi shouted. He wanted to pat Zhou Huangmin to death now, and wished he had not given birth to this son.

At this time, someone from the firefighter happened to come over. He told Zhou Feiyi that after they checked, there were signs of gasoline burning at the scene, they judged that the fire was very likely to be arson by man.

Upon hearing this news, Zhou Huangmin became even more excited. He faced everyone in the Zhou family: "Have you heard or not? The fire comrades told us that this is artificial arson, which is the extreme method that Zhou Ming did when he was afraid that he had not been exposed on the Zhou family tree!"

"Zhou Huangmin!" Zhou Feiyi glared at his son, "The fire comrade only said that it was arson by man. How could you turn black and white so much and say that this was done by Zhou Ming?"

Zhou Huangmin looked indifferent: "Who else can they have? Our Zhou family has always been very obedient. Apart from these foreign country bumpkins, who else can be in trouble with us and do such extreme things to us?"

Zhou Huangmin's words made these Zhou family feel that something was right.

"Yes! Our ancestral hall is nothing, and it won't be of any benefit if it is burned. Instead, we have to go to jail. If it weren't for a necessary reason, who would have done such a thing?"

"Our Zhou family has always been very good here, not to mention such a bad thing as arson, nor has it made such a big grudge with anyone. Only Zhou Ming was the only one. Did he really find that his family name was not on it, so he set the fire?"

"I think it's very likely. When this person has money, he wants to find a good background and be famous to put a gold on his face. Zhou Ming is so stupid that he comes back to edit the family tree. Isn't that the case? As a result, he finds that he doesn't have this background, so he becomes angry..."

Zhou Feiyi widened his eyes and listened to these Zhou family members saying it one by one. He couldn't believe his ears.

He didn't understand where these people had such a great sense of superiority. You should know that Zhou Ming could take out millions of bosses at will, and he was also a foreign prince consort. He was the kind of person who had to kneel down when they saw him in the past. How could these people still have such a sense of superiority?

Could it be that Zhou Ming could be the honor of Zhou’s family last year? Why in the eyes of these people, Zhou Ming’s glory is actually Zhou Ming’s glory? Is this completely putting the cart before the horse?

Zhou Feiyi would think so, but these Zhou family members didn't think so at all, especially Zhou Huangmin, who wanted Zhou Ming to die immediately.

So Zhou Huangmin then said to the firefighters: "Comrade, I must report to you the suspect of arson, Zhou Ming, who lives in the Yanhu Villa. He is extremely guilty. Go and arrest him!"

this……

The firefighters hesitated, on the one hand, they did not have the right to arrest people

On the other hand, he also knew very well where the Yanhu Villa was and who could live there.

Do you say that a wealthy boss drove nearly an hour to Zhouxiang to burn your ancestral hall, and then drove another hour back? Is this completely unreasonable?

However, in front of him, Zhou Huangmin and the Zhou family were so excited that he couldn't refuse, so he was embarrassed for a while.

"I think you should be the one who is going to be arrested!" Zhou Feiyi pointed at Zhou Huangmin. He was so angry that he trembled all over. "I know that because of the demolition, you have always held a grudge against Zhou Ming, so you counted everything on Zhou Ming and poured any dirty water on him. Are you disgusting?"

"And you guys!" Zhou Feiyi then pointed to other Zhou family members who echoed Zhou Huangmin, "You don't know what to do and don't consider the cause and effect of the matter at all. Just follow Zhou Huangmin to frame Zhou Ming. Are you all stupid? If you want to arrest you, you should arrest you first!"

"They should indeed be the ones to be caught!"

A voice suddenly came, just taking Zhou Feiyi's words. Everyone was familiar with this voice. Or during this period, this voice was simply a nightmare for Zhou Huangmin and the Zhou family.

The crowd was separated to both sides, and Zhou Ming took Caitlin slowly to come over. Zhou Feiyi was happy when he saw Zhou Ming over, but then lowered his head: "Zhou Ming, I'm sorry for you, these bastards, they actually accused you of setting fires, and you were going to burn the Zhou family ancestral hall."

Zhou Ming looked at Zhou Huangmin: "Is that true? Uncle Huangmin, why do you say that I burned the Zhou family ancestral hall?"

Zhou Huangmin took a step back guiltily, but then raised his chest and moved forward: "Is this a matter of saying? Haven't you all just wanted to come back to Donglin? But your name is not on the genealogy, so you are so angry!"

Zhou Ming smiled: "I said do you all think so? I'm very curious why you dare to think so. Do you have money or power? I can take out a million to compile the family tree and contact the deputy secretary of the Donglin Municipal Party Committee at any time. What can you do?"

"Are you so great that you have money and power?" Zhou Huangmin asked in a slight and introverted manner.

"I didn't say that, but I'm puzzled where your sense of superiority comes from."

Zhou Ming continued: "It is true that the Zhou family has been passed down for a long time, and there were big names in the past, but so what? I was going to come in with a shameless face for the family tree last Zhou family. I was curious about what the use of this thing is, can I help me pay for medical expenses when I am sick, or can I eat it if I am hungry?"

"It's just the surname Zhou, but it's just the descendant of Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms. Look, you are capable, why don't you go to heaven and go shoulder to shoulder with the sun?"

Zhou Ming poked their scars bluntly, and kept saying that: "I still need to benefit from the Zhou family? I made more than one billion in Linyang. Think about whether I have a fraction of my life after selling your Zhouxiang. Instead, I can get you the factory where you work in minutes and let you all lay off to beg for food, and you have nothing to know at all!"

"In the end, I want to tell you that this time the Zhou family ancestral hall was indeed arson, and I have also found the real suspect for you!"

Zhou Ming said and turned around: "Boss Wang, come out and talk."
