Chapter 655: Chapter 655 Retribution(3)_1

Cai Wei looked at Master Lizheng with a humorous smile and said, "So Master Lizheng, you are adjured that I am the murderer who set the fire?"

As they were talking, an old maid rushed over, shouting, "Madam, it’s dreadful, our front yard is also on fire, the whole mansion is burning....."

"What? What did you say? Say it again?"

Lady Yu’s figure swayed, she almost fell, but a maid behind her was able to support her in time.

The old maid cried, "Madam, there is a fire in our mansion’s front yard. The fire is burning fiercely, the whole mansion is on fire. Madam, quickly find someone to put out the fire!"

"Quick, quick, everyone put out the fire..."

Master Lizheng no longer cared about interrogating the suspect, he waved his hand at the watching neighbours and dashed off.

Lady Yu was stunned by this terrible news. With the support of her maids, she was about to get into the carriage when a green-clothed page boy ran from the south and shouted while running, "Madam, it’s a disaster, our casino has caught on fire. The wind is strong today, and the fire may have already spread. Madam, think of a way to get help...."

"How could it happen? How could it happen?"

Lady Yu muttered to herself, leaning into the arms of her maid, trembling.

The family suffered a robbery earlier this year, and most of their extensive possessions were stolen. A few days earlier, her second son had run away with all the family’s silver. The family was now just an empty shell. If the shell was gone, she would have nothing left, and could no longer consider herself as Madam Lü!

"Master Lizheng, both places are on fire, where should we go to help?"

A soldier under Master Lizheng questioned.

Master Lizheng contemplated for a moment, suddenly his mind filled with images of the beautiful, young girls in the casino. His heart suddenly stirred with an unbearable pity. It would be such a pity if these young beauties were to be burned to death. If he could save one or two, maybe they would gratify him with their bodies in return for his life-saving deeds!

"There are more people in the casino, head to the casino!"

Master Lizheng made up his mind, leading his soldiers and the curious crowd, intending to go to the casino to play the hero, when suddenly they heard a desperate cry, "Madam, Madam, it’s a disaster, our rice shop is on fire..."

When the crowd looked, they saw the shopkeeper of the Hongyun Rice Shop crying and yelling, crawling and rolling towards them, ’splash!’, he knelt in front of Lady Yu, and wailed, "Madam, quickly, quickly think of a way to find someone to put out the fire...Ah, Madam, what happened to you?"

Lady Yu couldn’t stand these consecutive shocks, her eyes rolled back in her head and she fainted.

The maids hurriedly tried their best to revive her," Madam, wake up....."

In their haste, someone lifted Lady Yu’s gauze hat, attempting to revive her by pressing her Renzhong acupoint. However, when Lady Yu’s face, as black as charcoal, was exposed to all, it immediately drew gasps and screams.

"Oh my God, a ghost!"

The timid ones, upon seeing her face, almost jumped in shock.

Even the bold ones could not help taking in sharp breaths at the sight of the face that was as black as hair.

Amid the chaos, Jiujin suddenly said in a loud voice, "Master Lizheng, do you still think that my sister Wei’Er set the fire?"

The official mansion, Hongyun Casino and Hongyun Rice shop, almost simultaneously caught fire. During this time, Cai Wei had been arguing with them at her door and naturally had no time to set fires. Hence, it was evident that this fire had nothing to do with Cai Wei.
