Chapter 461

"Lord Hui, it is said that it is related to the purple star sect."

"Purple Star sect?" Ji Dong could not help frowning.

The purple star sect is the best at using the opportunity to confuse the people. The more chaotic the capital is, the more rampant they become. Especially recently, once the story of the king of Hunan cooperating with the enemy to assassinate the Empress Dowager was spread, the purple star sect is like the new year.

The Yamen serviceman roughly repeated the words of the person who came to report the case.

The main idea is that when the man was sitting in front of the closed shop on the street to take shelter from the rain and in a daze, a young man came over. At first, he just chatted with him, but later he changed his taste - the man reacted that the other party was trying to persuade him to join the purple star sect!

That's great.

As a native of Miao Hong, even though he has been down recently, he has never thought of going astray, so he angrily refused on the spot and went straight to the Yamen.

After hearing the general story, Ji Dong's mood was a little complicated.

It's nothing new for the Purple Star Church to pick some people who seem to be unhappy in life and wait for the opportunity to persuade them to join the church.

The people in the capital are still too honest

If you want him to say, what's there to refuse directly?

Now that the imperial court is in such a situation, who can decide what will happen in the future? Why don't you know how to take advantage of the opportunity and leave yourself a way back?

In the face of such an invitation, why not take the initiative, refuse or be responsible?

Anyway, he has seen through now. Zixing cult is not an unforgivable cult. People don't hurt innocent people, steal and rob, and force. As for the rumors that shake the hearts of the people, they are mostly changed according to the facts, not fabricated out of thin air

The purple star sect didn't find him, otherwise

No, it's no use finding him.

It is said that the purple star sect is very poor.

Poverty soon dispelled the dangerous thought that flashed through his mind.

As for the person who reported the case in front——

"Go and tell him that all matters related to the purple star sect are under the jurisdiction of the arrest guard and are not under the control of my official. Let him go to the Fusi in Beizhen."

The people of Zixing sect are extremely cunning and good at camouflage. Even the arrest guard can't get any benefit, let alone a Beijing yamen.

And he can't finish his own work. With this salary, he can't do chores other than his own work.

The Yamen servant answered and went forward.

The man was still waiting outside the yamen, copying his sleeves. Although it was summer, it rained continuously for several days, and it was still a little cold at night.

"I've asked my adult for instructions. The case of Zixing cult is not in my adult's charge. Please go to Fusi in Beizhen."

The Yamen servant said and pointed to the north.

The man who reported the case turned pale when he heard the speech.

where?

North Town Fusi?

The man who suddenly felt that this kind of thing didn't seem to be good and worth reporting to the official turned around and left silently.

When the Yamen turned around and was about to close the door, he suddenly heard a noisy footsteps approaching and a vague cry.

Looking back, I saw a line of six or seven people running over in the rain, either holding umbrellas or wearing coir raincoats, or simply putting their sleeves on their heads in the rain.

As people arrived, the Yamen finally heard what had happened——

"The messenger, go and have a look. There is a yard behind the Liuyin Hutong. The water has gone!"

"It's so hot that it's called a Wang!"

The Yamen servant was quite surprised.

This kind of day can burn. The person who ignites the fire is really capable!

"Is there anyone else in the hospital?" the Yamen servant asked first.

"I heard there lived a young official!"

"The waiter went home to visit his relatives early yesterday morning..."

"What officer, didn't he say he was robbed?"

Listening to the people's gossip, the official didn't dare to delay. After reporting the matter to his adult, he immediately took someone to rush there.

By the time we arrived, many people had gathered around and talked about such a big fire. Let alone rain, we had to see it even if we cut the knife.

After all, life is depressing enough. What's the meaning of living if there's nothing new to do?

But we are not just here to join the fun.

After the officials organized, many people helped put out the fire together.

But the fire was burning fiercely. Looking at the fire source, there was something strange. It was said to be fighting the fire. In fact, it was half waiting to burn out the burning materials.

It happened that the weather was not beautiful. When it was half saved, the rain stopped.

After such a busy toss, the fire was completely extinguished until the fish belly was white in the sky.

Most of the courtyard burned into ruins collapsed, and only a few beams of the main house barely supported the outline. Bursts of black smoke rose and smoked the nearby area like a thick fog.

Taking advantage of this gap, several helping "people" touched the secret room where all the mechanisms were burned and hid two things that should be cleaned in their sleeves before they shouted in surprise: "Sir, this... It seems to be a person here!"

Two officers hurried around.

A mass of burnt black objects, which were indistinguishable from appearance and looked roughly like human shapes, were pressed under the collapsed green bricks.

The officers didn't move without authorization, so they immediately invited Wuzuo to come and have a look.

It was confirmed that it was indeed a dead body.

Watching the corpse covered with white cloth carried out by the officials, the onlookers either cast curious eyes or sympathized and sighed.

At this time, a young man dressed up suddenly ran over and looked at the house burned to ashes. After he was surprised, he threw himself on his knees and burst into tears.

"My Lord! How can you think so hard!"

It was this simple sentence that burst the pot when it was called into the crowd.

They are all people who are used to seeing the excitement. Who doesn't have the basic inference ability?

"Hiss... Didn't you light your own fire?"

"It's said that he specially asked the boy to go back to visit his relatives. Xu deliberately wanted to end it himself..."

"Didn't you hear what the servants said just now? There were traces of fire oil in the secret room. It was a fire lit with fire oil. It must have been prepared long ago."

"I think it's because the official road has been bad recently. It has fallen sharply and drilled a dead end..."

"It's not only the official road is not smooth, but also the family is gone. It's not easy to be alone... Alas, poor man!"

"What poor man... I think you haven't gone out these two days and haven't heard the news from outside the city?" said the man holding a little doll eating steamed stuffed bun in his hand.

Many people looked at him one after another.

The eldest brother with children is a familiar face. When it comes to gossip, people not only know much, but also keep it true!

"What news?"

"Tell me..."

"It's a long story..." before the man said, he first asked, "do you remember Zhan yunjiao, who was threatened and lured by the Xia mansion girl last year and nearly hurt Miss Xu of the town government?"
