The moon falling to the ground

Chapter 266: Falling to Ashes

At this moment, Jian Huaian was escorted over and happened to see this scene. In desperation, he shouted, "Sister!" and suddenly broke free from the grip of the yamen runners and ran towards Yan Xinning.

Bang!

Fu Qi kicked him away.

Jian Huaian fell heavily to the ground, his internal organs aching. He struggled to get up, stared at Jian Yue with hatred, and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter what, our Jian family has raised you for more than ten years. How can you be so cruel?"

Jian Yue sneered, "Wrong, it's not that your Jian family has raised me for more than ten years, but that I have served your family for more than ten years. Even if you hire a servant, you should pay him/her enough wages, right? Not only do you not pay me enough wages, you also torture me. Jian Huaian, you are the one with the ruthless heart and the inhumanity, so don't distort the facts and impose your evil heart on others."

Jian Huaian never thought that his family was wrong. If Jian Yue had always been that bitch who allowed herself to be beaten and scolded, maybe their family would have been rich and powerful. His sister might have been a prince's consort. Now his family was broken up, and the root of everything was this bitch. They were so miserable, but she still refused to let them go.

Jian Huaian was filled with hatred, but he could do nothing.

what--

Yan Xinning was on fire and turned into a fireman. The ropes on her body had been burned off, and she fell to the ground and rolled around in pain, hoping to put out the fire.

Captain Wu ordered the yamen runners to throw firewood at her, hoping that she would burn more fiercely.

Princess Mingyue has already said that her whole body is full of poison, even her breath is poisonous gas, once she comes into contact with a crowd, she will poison a large number of people. The best way to deal with such a dangerous person is to burn him to death. Otherwise, the most unlucky ones are those who catch criminals all day long.

"Sister! You can't burn it. You are taking human life lightly. I will sue you!" Jian Huaian yelled with bloodshot eyes. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, he shouted at Jian Yue again, "Jian Yue, you are taking revenge on your own. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will know?"

Jian Yue sneered: "Jian Huaian, your sister was involved in the case of poisoning the emperor. The emperor has ordered her to be executed on the spot and all nine generations of her family to be exterminated. Do you think that as her brother, you can escape responsibility?"

Jian Huaian's face instantly lost all color, and he subconsciously defended himself: "She is not my sister. Her last name is Yan, and my last name is Jian. She has nothing to do with me."

The figure struggling in the flames paused, and suddenly lay straight and motionless.

Jian Huaian was so focused on exonerating himself that he didn't notice Yan Xinning's abnormality. However, Jian Yue saw it and thought: Yan Xinning might have had a moment of clarity before she died. Unexpectedly, the first sentence she heard after she regained consciousness was that her own brother had severed ties with her and abandoned her without hesitation. She must be sad and disappointed, right?

Captain Wu and several yamen runners searched Jian Huaian's bedroom again. They sent someone to check the hole under the bed. The hole was half the size of the bedroom. In addition to a torn quilt, there was also an old wooden barrel for urine and feces. It was cold and damp inside, and only a vicious person like Yan Xinning could endure it.

It can be seen that Jian Huaian does not really love his younger sister who left home when she was young.

The fire burned for half an hour before it was extinguished. Captain Wu asked the yamen runners to bring a large wooden basin from the kitchen, put Yan Xinning's unburned bones in it, and bring it to the yamen for the coroner to perform an autopsy. Jian Huaian was tied up and taken away.

Jian Huaian was unwilling to be arrested and kept shouting that he was innocent. A yamen runner was annoyed by the noise and took off a smelly sock and stuffed it into his mouth.

Jian Yue did not follow him back to the government office. She led Fu Qi and others to quietly go to the front gate of the rich businessman Jiang's house. Jian Yue also assigned three people to guard the back door.

Captain Wu sent Jian Huaian back to the government office to search for the rich businessman Jiang. Jian Yue thought that since the mute servant had escaped into the rich businessman Jiang's house, the rich businessman would definitely be alarmed and take some measures.

Fu Twelve once said when he came back that when the yamen runners went to arrest Jian Huaian, the clerk in Jiang's shop secretly ran out through the back door, probably to report to his master's house.

Jian Yue's heart moved, and she immediately said to Fu Qi: "Send someone to ask around to see if anyone from the Jiang family had gone out before we came."

Fu Shiyi said: "Princess, let me go! I am familiar with the beggars in this area."

"it is good."

Fu Shiyi returned shortly after he left: "Princess, at the end of the morning hour, a carriage came out of the back door of the Jiang family, drove into the main street, and headed towards the south gate."

Jian Yue: "Go and ask if the carriage has left the city?"

After Fu Shiyi left, Captain Wu came with the yamen runners. Jian Yue immediately followed them. Captain Wu nodded and said nothing.

The gatekeeper of the Jiang family had already seen the yamen runners coming this way, so he ran in quickly to report the news.

Just as the runner was about to knock on the door, the front door of the Jiang family suddenly opened. The wealthy businessman Jiang, with a big belly and a greasy face, appeared at the door. When he saw Captain Wu, he hurriedly saluted with a big smile on his face: "I didn't know you were coming, Captain Wu. I'm sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me!"

Captain Wu frowned and said impatiently: "Don't bother with those empty talk. Someone saw the fugitive run into your house, and we are here to search for him on the orders of the county magistrate." As he spoke, Captain Wu waved the search warrant in front of the wealthy businessman Jiang.

The wealthy businessman Jiang concealed his crime very well. He was surprised when he saw the arrest warrant: "Your Excellency, are you mistaken? We are honest businessmen in the Jiang family. How dare we harbor a fugitive?"

Captain Wu sneered: "We can find out if there are any fugitives by searching. Do you want to disobey the order of the adults?"

The wealthy businessman Jiang was so frightened that his neck shrank. He immediately apologized with a smile and said, "I dare not, I dare not. Since you are searching for the fugitive, I will cooperate with you. Please come in." As he said this, he secretly winked at the housekeeper beside him.

The Jiang family's housekeeper hurriedly followed, took out a purse under the cover of his sleeve and stuffed it into the pocket of Constable Wu.

Captain Wu didn't want to give the princess a chance to talk about him, so he pushed the purse away, causing it to fall to the ground with a "clack". The person following behind him paused, not knowing whether to move forward with his raised foot.

Captain Wu said angrily: "What are you doing? You want to bribe me before we even searched. Are you really hiding a fugitive?"

The Jiang family's housekeeper had a stiff face. He hurriedly picked up the purse and explained with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, sir. My purse was not tied tightly and I accidentally dropped it. Please forgive me, sir."

Rich businessman Jiang glared at the housekeeper and added: "You are showing off your wealth around your waist all day long. Aren't you ashamed?"

The housekeeper chuckled: "It's time for my son to find a wife. I'm showing off my family's wealth just to help my son find a beautiful wife. Hehe! Don't blame me, Master."

The master and servant were joking around and acting out their own jokes, but no one paid any attention to them, which was extremely awkward.

When Mr. Jiang turned around, he saw Jian Yue and a few others in ordinary clothes following behind him...
