Chapter 23 Clean her up
When *** and others rushed to the backyard to put out the fire, they saw this scene.
Wen Yao's face was covered with black ash, and he was sitting crookedly next to a man who had been burned so hard that he could not see his appearance, crying bitterly. Next to him lay a servant who had a bloody gash on his forehead.
Wen Yao was dirty all over, with obvious burns on the back of his hands, his hair was messy, and he smelled of paste.
The woodshed next to it is completely hopeless. Not much is left in the fire. After it is extinguished, it is estimated that only the ruins will be left.
Wen Qing was the first to rush over. When he heard about the fire in the woodshed, the first thing he thought of was Wen Yao. Regret filled his face. He walked quickly to Wen Yao's side and helped her up from the ground.
"How are you, Yao'er? Are you okay?"
He looked up and down her body and found that except for the injuries on her hands, her clothes were only slightly damaged, and he was relieved.
Wen Yao pointed at the servant lying on the ground with red eyes.
She couldn't describe it well, as if she was frightened and her speech was not very clear.
"He was a good man and died."
She pointed to the one with a bloody head and said: "Big bad guy!"
Although the words were brief, Wen Qing already understood everything.
He walked up to the unconscious servant, grabbed the man's collar and lifted him up: "The murderer who set the fire is here!"
*** and Mo Wuyun finally came together.
Seeing the servant Wen Qing brought over, *** couldn't help but frowned: "Where did this person come from? I don't remember that there is such a person in the house."
He glanced sideways and shouted coldly: "Butler."
The housekeeper walked over with sweat on his face, looked at the man and said, "Reporting to the prime minister, this man has only been here for about a month, and he is a newcomer."
Wen Qingqi's voice trembled: "Since he is a newcomer, how dare he dare to kill people and set fires? Father, please don't forget that the second sister is the prince's concubine now. If she commits suicide in front of the prime minister's house today, we will
Everyone is involved, so how should we explain to the Third Prince and the Queen when the time comes?"
His words were so righteous that he even praised Mo Wuyun.
When Mo Wuyun said this, he knew that he could not turn a blind eye to this matter. After all, Wen Yao's life must not be lost. Even if he hated her and hated her, her identity was still a bargaining chip for him to ascend to the throne.
"***, this prince wants an explanation for this matter."
The veins on ***'s forehead were clearly visible. Knowing that this matter might not go well, he immediately said: "Wake this man up first, and then torture him severely!"
Wen Qing let go and threw the man to the ground.
At this moment, something rolled down from the man's waist. Many people looked surprised when they saw it.
Someone stepped forward, picked up the thing and handed it to ***.
"Mr. Prime Minister, this thing fell from the murderer's body. It seems to be... Madam's!"
***'s expression suddenly changed. He pinched the sachet and saw a line of small words from the side.
That is the eldest lady's maiden name, not many people know it, and the stitching technique of this embroidery was also done by the eldest lady herself.
Why did the arson thief have something belonging to the eldest lady in his hands? He was shocked by this scene for a moment.
Wen Yao had been helped up by two maids, and someone was bringing tea and water to calm her down.
The body of another person was also buried by the servants, and many people were slightly sad.
Everyone thought that this fool's life was too good. If someone hadn't saved her, she would have died inside.
A basin of ice water was poured directly on the servant's face, and the dizzy servant opened his eyes for a moment.
Looking around, I found that I was still in the burning backyard, and seeing so many people, I knew that my arson must have been discovered.
He immediately knelt down and crawled a few steps: "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me!"
He fainted so quickly that he didn't even see the scene where Wen Yao broke through the wall.
And the person I saw was already dead.
*** raised his foot and kicked the man to the ground, throwing the purse in front of him.
"Where did you get this?"
The servant looked at the purse in front of him with a blank expression, and even wanted to reach out to pick it up and take a look.
As a result, the housekeeper stepped on his hand and slapped him so hard that his cheek suddenly became swollen.
The eldest lady, who came late after receiving the news, stumbled to the backyard with the support of several maids and mothers. She separated from the crowd and saw the scene in front of her, and she almost lost her breath.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I told you where I had thrown the sachet I was carrying with me. It turned out that it was stolen by this thief. He even wanted to frame me and blame me. Mr. Prime Minister, please put him to death immediately. This thief must not
Keep."
The eldest lady wiped the corners of her eyes with a look of grievance on her face.
Wen Yu was standing nearby, her eyes falling on Mo Wuyun, her eyes showing a bit of pity: "Your Highness, the third prince, my mother is definitely not such a person who doesn't care about the overall situation. If she really wants to harm others, I'm afraid
It is impossible for my second sister to grow up smoothly. If my mother burns the third prince's concubine to death in front of you, isn't she deliberately making the prime minister's house and the third prince's house an enemy? So there must be something fishy in this, and someone wants to
To sow discord between our prime minister's office and you."
What Wen Yu said makes sense.
Her voice was soft and her analysis was clear and logical, completely showing her resourceful side.
What Mo Wuyun admires the most is this kind of woman. Not only is she beautiful, elegant, and flawless, she can even understand the court situation and has enough talent.
"So this person is lying?"
Mo Wuyun's eyes fell on the man, his eyes like those of poisonous snakes.
Wen Yao happened to also want to know who the murderer was, so now that someone was helping her to verify it, she saved a lot of effort.
Wen Yu saluted Mo Wuyun and then said: "Your Highness, Third Prince, rest assured, not only you, our Prime Minister's Office also hates the perpetrators deeply, and we will definitely find out those behind the scenes and bring them to justice!"
Mo Wuyun smiled slightly and said deliberately: "Then for Yu'er's sake, I will give your prime minister some time."
He took a deep look at Wen Yao and strode to her. When he saw her lowering her head and saying nothing, he reached out and grabbed Wen Yao's wrist.
"Don't embarrass me by staying here. Someone come and clean her up!"
He threw the person to the two maids who came over, wiped his palms with a handkerchief, and then left with the person.
Wen Qing was furious and knew that this matter would definitely go unnoticed. He even suspected that the eldest lady had done this intentionally.
No matter how Wen Yu explains it, it is a fact that the personal evidence and physical evidence are conclusive.
Seeing Wen Yao being dragged by two maids, he pulled the maids away: "Yao'er's hands are still injured. She can't get wet now. Go clean up the yard where she used to live!"
While talking, he took Wen Yao to his yard.
