Chapter 446

When I came to Shilixiang Hotel, a group of citizens were trying to put out the fire.

They were not far away from Shili incense. Seeing that Shili incense was on fire, they naturally came to help to prevent the fire from burning to their home.

When Liu Jin and Mu Yu arrived, the fire was about to be extinguished.

Obviously, the fire was brought under control early in the morning.

Fortunately, on New Year's Eve, many families didn't sleep before they found that Shilixiang was on fire.

Liu Jin glanced at Mu Yu, "is someone deliberately setting fire?"

He Sanniang and his wife went back early in the morning. If they had left the fire, I'm afraid it would have caused the fire.

Mu Yu nodded. He pointed to Shilixiang hotel. "There are many black charred things at the door. They should start burning outside and then extend to the inside."

Liu Jin saw that it was true.

The place that catches fire first is naturally burned out first.

Soon, the fire subsided, and the county magistrate and master Chen arrived at this time.

"How did this happen? How did it happen?" Master Chen couldn't accept it and shouted loudly at Mu Yu.

If this burns his food, he won't follow. After all, this batch of grain cost him hundreds of liang of silver.

Mu Yu held him down and whispered, "I don't know, but like you, I don't want these grains to go wrong."

Master Chen thought that Mu Yu also expected this batch of food to provide relief to the victims, so it was impossible to set fire to the food.

The county magistrate glanced at them and said to several yamen guards, "have you found out? Is the food burned seriously?"

The Yamen had gone in and looked at it once. He turned around and said to the people, "it's not serious. All the food is stored in the kitchen. This fire hasn't burned to the kitchen yet. It's not in the way."

Mr. Mu Yuhe and Mr. Cheng were in front. With Liu Jin and Mr. Chen, he walked into the scene and had a look.

The fire only burned the gate, counters, tables and chairs, and so on, but not the stairs against the wall. The food was stored in the back kitchen, with the wall against it, and the fire did not extend.

"It's a blessing in misfortune." The county magistrate said, and he also pinched a cold sweat.

If this batch of grain is burned, he will suffer. Master Chen was a little worried and hurriedly said, "Mr. mu, I'll let someone move the grain now. What do you think?"

"Well, there is also a saying to move away now. Then you move 20000 Jin, and we move the rest to our home."

After Mu's decision, the county magistrate left with the Yamen to do business for them.

If these yamen guards are watching, master Chen can't move the grain back to his house.

Mu Yu looked at master Chen and then said, "someone must have set fire on purpose. We have to catch it."

If anyone is hostile to them, he must be more careful so that he will not know when he is killed in the future.

Master Chen nodded. He also wanted to know who dared to oppose him.

At this time, Liu Jin felt a pair of eyes staring at herself.

But when she looked back, she found nothing.

Mu Yu saw Liu Jin's look and asked, "what's the matter? But what's wrong?"

"No, I just always feel someone staring at me behind my back."

Mu Yu sniffed the speech and glanced around quietly, but he didn't find anything.

However, he felt that Liu Jin might not feel wrong.

"Maybe the arsonist didn't want to leave in a hurry. He also wanted to see if things succeeded." Mu Yu guessed and whispered to Liu Jin, "the man just may be the arsonist."

Liu Jin also felt some truth after listening to it.

This must be someone who is hostile to her, otherwise why burn this Shilixiang hotel? This food is for the victims to eat. Who wants to burn it?

"Do you think it's other masters in the city? I remember that master Huang, who specializes in rice business, hoards a lot of grain. He certainly doesn't want to see us hoard so much grain."

Master Chen immediately said that he always felt that other businessmen in the city were covetous.

Mu Yu glanced at him and shook his head slightly. He didn't know.

"We have to make secret visits to find out who is secretly trying to harm us. At present, the most important thing to do is to transfer the food to avoid being calculated by these people."

Master Chen nodded immediately. He was eager to transfer the grain as soon as possible so as not to be afraid.

There were also some people around. When they saw that most of the ten mile incense had been burned, they pointed at it one by one.

At this time, Chen Lin came.

"Ouch, my shop, what's the matter?"

The shop in Shilixiang hotel was rented from Chen Lin. now half of it has been burned down. It's strange that Chen Lin can be happy.

Liu Jin glanced at Chen Lin and her face was a little embarrassed.

Anyway, the Shilixiang hotel was burned down, and he was also liable for compensation.

"Master Mu and Miss Liu, you can't ignore it. My shop was good when I rented it to you. Now Chenglin looks like this. You have to be responsible."

Chen Lin took Liu Jin and said to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin said as like as two peas, "you need not worry about Chen Lin's shopkeeper. We'll rent the shop. When we return it to you, I promise to be exactly the same as before."

Chen Lin calmed down a little and then looked at master Chen and childe mu.

"This is good. Why did it catch fire?"

Master Chen said nothing, but mu Yu frowned.

Shilixiang Hotel closed early today. If someone really wants to burn food, it's not difficult. But now it seems that the fire was only caused outside, not from inside.

He didn't tell Liu Jin and others about these findings, but arranged for a small nail to watch here, so he went home with Liu Jin.

Tools and manpower are needed to remove the grain.

It's hard to call a few people, so I have to call the three of them. As for the tools, you can borrow them from master Chen and move them after they move them.

The two men went back, and Mu Yu told Liu Jin what he had found.

"Although the doors and windows of Shili incense are closed, if you encounter a thief, I'm afraid you can't guard against it. If the thief wants to burn food, set a fire from the inside, and when the people who burn it outside find out, all the food will be burned."

Mu Yu explained to Liu Jin.

After hearing this, Liu Jin was silent.

Mu Yu's words showed that if someone set fire, he didn't want to burn food.

On the contrary, the possibility of accidental fire is also much greater. After all, many people set off firecrackers tonight, which may become a fire.
