After Dawn Chapter 130: Su Qingran (5)

Sleepless, running all the way, after riding three sweaty BMWs, Dugujin finally left his subordinates and arrived at Jiangcheng.

But as soon as he entered the city, he sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Hey, the Su family is also pitiful. You said that Mrs. Su has done a lot of good things in ordinary times. How can you say that the water will go away, and the whole family will die in the sea of ​​​​fire..."

"The Miss Su family is the most beautiful woman in the world, but now she has been burned into coke by a fire. It's a pity, it's a pity."

"I don't know who did it. I heard that the fire that night was so raging that it couldn't be extinguished with water. Let me tell you..." The gossip man lowered his voice and looked around. Then he said: "I heard that it was the Su family who offended someone. The fire was set by someone sent by the enemy family. My brother-in-law is a servant in the yamen. I heard that although the servants in the palace were burned to charcoal, but On the bones...you can see the marks of sharp arrows."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone fired an arrow!"

"What did you say?!" An unshaven man suddenly stopped the two of them and asked by the collar of the person who broke the news.

His eyes are the size of copper bells, he looks extremely scary, and he is very tall. The little man who broke the news was held in his hands, his feet were hanging in the air, and his neck was so tightly tied that he could not speak. Come.

"Ah...say...say...the Su family..."

"This strong man, this strong man!" Another person discouraged at a loss: "You put Brother Zhang down first, put it down, let's talk about what you have to say, Brother Zhang and I must know everything. Words are endless."

As if realizing that he was really inefficient and couldn't ask anything useful, he put down the man in his hand, then stared at the man called Brother Zhang and asked, "I ask You, the Su family you are talking about, is it the Su Qingran family?"

"Su Qingran?" The other person was stunned for a moment, while the brother Zhang nodded hastily and said, "Yes, yes, it's Su Qingran. This is the maiden name of the eldest Miss Su family."

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"That night, someone suddenly shouted, "The water is gone, the water is gone, I woke up overnight, followed my neighbors to a brightly lit place, and found that it turned out to be the Su family's mansion..." Following Brother Zhang's remarks, The tragic scene of the Su family that day reappeared in front of us: "We were outside, everyone brought buckets from home, and everyone who had the strength brought water to put out the fire one after another, but it was useless, the fire was not put out not only On the contrary, it has become more and more prosperous, and some people say that this is a demon fire that cannot be extinguished."

"But a butcher on our side asked when he smelled the oil burning, and told us with certainty that it must be full of oil, otherwise it wouldn't be extinguished with water, the only way is to use Sand sprinkled on it, but by the time we reacted, it was already too late..."

"The wailing and screaming in the Su Mansion were one after another. I saw with my own eyes a maid who was covered in fire running out of the gate, but she collapsed to the ground before she took two steps, The fire burned into a mass of coke..."

"Are there any survivors in the Su family?" the man asked.

"No." Brother Zhang shook his head a little heavily, "Master Fu counted the number of corpses that could be found, forty-seven, which is more than the registered population of the Su family, it is impossible to have many Su family members. survive..."

"Thank you!"

Strongly suppressing the grief in his heart, the man clasped his fists in thanks, then rolled over and rode away.

"Brother Zhang, how are you?" Another person asked with concern.

Brother Zhang, who is a little short and has a hunched back, looked at the back of the man leaving and sighed, "Hey..."

……

Dugujin could hardly believe that the ruins in front of him were Su Mansion.

It rained in Jiangcheng last night, and the temperature of Su Mansion had dropped. It even looked a bit desolate when I walked in and let the wind blow in all directions. There were burnt black ruins everywhere, and the beautiful gardens that were originally arranged were also destroyed. The original appearance is almost invisible.

The case of the Su family's murder is really strange. In addition, the forces behind the Su family are also intricate and complex, and the yamen dare not treat this matter as an ordinary walk, so there is a row of yamen outside the Su family. , Dugu Jin was showing his prince's token, and then, under the surprised eyes of the yamen, entered the Su Mansion, which had completely lost sight of its former glory.

"Your Highness, please pay attention to safety."

He walked along the memory and walked to the yard where Su Qingran lived. He remembered that it was full of Su Qingran's favorite peach blossoms, but now these peach blossom trees are all scorched, one after another. It was cluttered together, looking very messy. Not even a single weed could be seen on the ground, not to mention the peach blossom petals that fell on the ground and rubbed together with the soil. Only a piece of darkness could be seen.

Su Qingran's boudoir was burned down with only one wall still supporting it. Dugujin just took a step when the wall collapsed suddenly, and the dust splashed made him almost unable to open his eyes.

This time, everything that belongs to Su Qingran is completely gone.

He stared blankly at everything in front of him. He didn't believe that Su Qingran was really dead. He didn't believe that Su Qingran, who had promised to wait for him, left so easily.

The dust gradually subsided, and he stepped forward subconsciously, but he kicked something at the foot.

The thing seemed to be kicked far away by him. He looked around and found a green jade pendant under a peach tree that had been carbonized.

When he saw the words on the jade pendant, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"On."

One of the twelve men he stayed in Su Mansion, Kai.

Information about Su Qingran's family quickly appeared in Dugujin's mind.

There are 39 people in the Su family counted as servants and servants. If all the 12 people he left behind were buried here, then there should be 51 corpses found, but according to Brother Zhang , the corpses found in the yamen, or the corpses that can be identified as human beings, are only forty-seven, which means that either four people have successfully escaped the fire, or the bodies of others have been completely burned. A piece of ashes, not even the charred corpse could be found.

Compared to the latter guess, Dugujin prefers the former one.

Among the twelve people he stayed to protect Su Qingran, Qi was not the most powerful. Whether it was martial arts or the use of poisonous drugs, Qi was mediocre. Not to mention floating on water, he can do it even on fire, so if Qi finds Su Qingran in time, he might be able to escape from this place with her.

Just, where are Qi and Su Qingran now?

Dugu Jin clenched the jade pendant in his hand, turned and left.

……

Su Qingran and Kai, who protects her, run into trouble.

"You can rest assured, Miss Su, this is the place of the lord, and no one will trouble you or me."

Su Qingran's face was a little pale. She clutched her most severely injured shoulder, wrinkled, and bit her lip to prevent herself from passing out.

"I think we need to change places, and I'm not at ease." She said, the look in the eyes of the person who answered them when she came in earlier made her very uneasy.

"Master. You are good or bad, but people like..."

"Young Master Liu, you agreed to take people to the lake to see the lanterns, why are you afraid of your tigress?"

"Master Song, this man, a man as charming as you, a man with extensive knowledge of poetry and books, and a brilliant talent, how normal it is to have a confidante outside, the tigress in your family just thinks you are too good to be worthy of Miss you, I'm afraid you will be robbed by the unsavory stuff like me." The woman's voice was a little lower when she talked about the unpopular stuff, and she seemed to be crying, "But you are so good, why are people willing... "

The sound of lewdness was heard outside, Qi's cheeks were already red, but Su Qingran was very indifferent. As an old fritter in Jiangcheng, she has never been to any place where she disguised herself as a man, until now in Jiangcheng There are still rumors that the Su family has a mysterious distant relative, Su Qingran's cousin, who is very handsome, young and rich, and loves beauties the most. In places like brothels, Su Qingran dare not say that every one of his own. I have been there, but at least she has left a lot of footprints.

"Miss Su, I'm really offended." Qi put his hands together and apologized sincerely.

She was expressionless, just raised her eyebrows and asked, "Is this the only place where Ajinshe can hide?"

The place where the two hide is a small room hidden between the two guest rooms. The width is no more than the size of one person. There are holes in the walls on both sides. It is a place for the **** painters of the brothel to observe the paintings on the spot.

"I, I don't know much either." Qi admitted that he had never been exposed to this aspect. The people around Dugujin were clearly divided, so he had not been exposed to this aspect before. things, just know that if an accident occurs, you can ask for help like here.

Su Qingran was very uneasy. This brothel is very remote and high-grade. It only serves some regular customers. Most people can't come in. It seems that listening to the voices of prostitutes and customers outside. All are old acquaintances. Su Qingran has never been to this brothel, but as far as she knows, many brothels hide their basements to train the girls who buy in. Generally, in order to prevent the girls from escaping, these places are extremely hidden, not only outside It is difficult for people to find out easily, and it is not easy for the people inside to escape.

Dugu is a person with such a delicate mind, Su Qingran doesn't believe that he can't think of this.

"Red Moon?" Qi subconsciously stood in front of Su Qingran.

A red-clothed, graceful woman covered her mouth and said with a tender smile, "Why, are you afraid I'll eat her?"

"No." Qi shook his head, ignoring her teasing, and just asked, "What are you doing here? What if someone finds out?"

"Of course it's medicine." The woman said, pursed her lips and motioned for Qi to look over. At this time, Su Qingran was trying to stay awake and squinting at the two who were talking, "Look, Miss Su. How badly hurt?"

At the moment when Kai turned her head, Su Qingran's heart froze, she knew that something was broken.

A handful of white powder spilled from Kai's head.

Su Qingran closed her eyes reluctantly.
