Chapter 96: Block
For such a huge disaster, the previous court announced detailed investigation results.
Fire and water have no mercy. The reason why Jiang Yixi dared to take this risk was because she knew the specific time. The theater warehouse was first set on fire by the arsonist, and in which corners the oil was poured. There were only two people who committed the crime, and one of the piano players was lame.
.As long as Huahua finds a place in advance and lures Jiang Xun and Jiang Da there, she can catch the arsonist and prevent the fire from happening.
Jiang Yixi has been full of gratitude to God since her rebirth. She felt that since she knew about this incident, she should stop it. Saving so many lives and property can be considered her gratitude and feedback to God.
Another thing is that she is afraid that Jiang Xun will die early.
God is good at saving lives. If Jiang Xun saves many lives, I hope he will be favored by God and go smoothly for the rest of his life.
It was already late after the group finished eating, and Jiang Yixi suggested going to the theater to watch a play.
Jiang Xun was not willing to do it. Even if his sister was wearing men's clothes, she could tell she was a handsome young lady. How could she go to a place like that?
He pouted and said, "Grandma said that on my uncle's birthday, he will invite the theater troupe to sing at the mansion."
Jiang Yixi insisted, "I haven't been to the theater yet, and I want to go in and have a look. There are also girls who dress up as men and go to the theater to watch the show. As far as I know, a few girls from Wangpinghou Mansion have been there many times."
Jiang Xun had no choice but to comply with his sister's wishes and put her cloak and hat on her with his own hands, then lowered it down.
With a serious face, he told her, "Go late, sit at the end, and leave before others leave. Most of the men who go to those places are not steady. Don't let them take a look at my sister's good looks."
Jiang Yixi felt funny in her heart, but she happily agreed.
Jiang Da and Shui Ling both wanted to go to the theater.
Jiang Da rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "I heard from a few buddies that Caiyunqing sings well, is handsome, and has good skills. He can turn somersaults as quickly as a martial artist..."
Shui Ling smiled brightly and said, "I haven't seen the show yet, but I'm lucky today. Don't worry, second master, any stinky man dares to look at the second girl, I will beat him until his teeth are all over the floor."
When they arrived at the entrance of the theater, Jiang Yixi took off the rosary beads on her wrist, turned the rosary beads in her sleeve while chanting Buddha in her heart. Jiang Xun paid the money and took the number plate, and they entered the garden.
Cats and dogs are not allowed in the theater. Before Jiang Yixi could reach the entrance of the theater, Huahua had already climbed over the fence.
As soon as you enter the theater gate, you will see a large courtyard with a stage on the left, where you can sing opera outside when the weather is good. The big house in front is the theater, where you can sing in cold weather, and on the right is a row of wing rooms.
The play has begun, and except for two people selling license plates and collecting money at the entrance of the garden, there is no one in the courtyard. Standing outside, you can hear the faint sounds of opera singers and drums.
Everything is so calm and peaceful.
It was very dark in the theater. The stage at the front was more than half a foot high, and Cai Yunqing was singing on the stage. Under the thick ink and heavy colors, her true appearance could not be seen, but she could also see that she was very beautiful. She turned a few somersaults and stood up.
After playing with the sword in his hand a few times, cheers and applause came from below.
There are several tables in the front row. There are fruits, snacks and tea on the tables. Several people are sitting at the tables watching the show. There should be King Wen Li Shao and Princess Li Jiao among them.
Seeing that there were still a few empty seats in the last two rows, Jiang Yixi and others sat at the edge of the last row.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Huahua came over and shook Jiang Yixi's legs. She didn't dare to bark for fear of being kicked out.
Jiang Yixi bent down to pick it up, wrapped it in a cloak, and lowered her head.
Huahua called in a very soft voice against her ear, "The two people who lit the fire are here, please tell Mr. Jiang Xunjiang to follow me."
Jiang Yixi put Huahua down and whispered to Jiang Xun, "Huahua seems to have discovered something. She is almost crying. Come and have a look. Don't let her get away."
She couldn't go with him. If she went to Shuiling, she would go. Plus Jiang Xun and Jiang Da, the goal would be too big.
Jiang Xun knew that Huahua was a very smart cat, and coupled with the young man's curiosity, he was not interested in watching the show, so he followed her out without any hesitation.
Jiang Da wanted to stop him, but when he saw that his master had run away, he had no choice but to follow him out.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, there was noise outside, followed by several people shouting, "The water is flowing, the water is flowing..."
One of them is Jiang Da’s big, rough voice.
These loud voices frightened everyone, and they all screamed and stood up and ran outside. Jiang Yixi and Shui Ling were closest to the door and ran out first.
There were more than a hundred people in the theater, swarming towards the door. The light was dim, tables and stools were knocked over, some people were knocked to the ground, and people behind them stepped on them, crying for their fathers and mothers...
Several actors on the stage were also frightened. Two of them ran backstage, and a few jumped off the stage and ran forward in a rampage.
King Wen liked to enjoy the ordinary life of a commoner. He never brought secret guards with him when he went out incognito, and he didn't bring many servants with him. Today he only brought two guards, two attendants, and a wet nurse to serve his daughter.
The sudden turn of events frightened him. When he was lifted up by a guard and ran out, he was almost hit by an actor who jumped from the stage. Another guard pushed the actor away.
King Wen wanted to hug Li Jiao, but saw that the actor who had jumped off the stage had knocked down the wet nurse and several others who were holding Li Jiao. When he was about to step on the wet nurse, Caiyunqing quickly picked up the wet nurse in her arms.
Li Jiao ran outside.
King Wen couldn't help but was half-dragged and half-carried by a guard and ran out. One of the guards pushed people who blocked King Wen's path.
Everyone ran outside and saw smoke coming from several roofs behind and next to the theater, and people carrying buckets of water were putting out the fire.
Not long after, Jiang Da and Jiang Xun tied up the two men in costumes and dragged them to the front yard.
People from the troupe ran up to him and asked what was going on.
Jiang Xun said, "We looked for the hut in the wrong place. We saw this man secretly spreading oil in the corner, so we hid to see what he was going to do. Who knew that there was a man behind us who was lighting a fire..."
Jiang Yixi was secretly happy. He was a smart boy and couldn't tell Huahua out, so he made up this excuse.
A person who looked like a class leader was a little suspicious. He pointed at one of the tied people and asked, "Cripple Wang, why did you set the fire?"
Lame Wang is from La Jinghu. He is in his thirties, thin and lame. He was frightened, shaking his body and crying, "I didn't set the fire, this kid is talking nonsense."
Several people from the theater troupe ran over and said breathlessly, "We heard the noise and ran over. The costumes in the room were already on fire. The elder brother and the younger brother were putting out the fire. When they saw us passing by, they went to put the costumes on fire."
The two were caught. Fortunately, they were discovered in time..."
Wang Laizi and another person cried and refused to admit it, saying that the two people who captured them lit the fire.
The class leader was a little confused and wanted to arrest Jiang Xun and Jiang Da and question them together. He didn't know these two people, let alone believe them.
An old man from the theater troupe ran over, pointed at Jiang Xun and Jiang Da, and said, "They were the first to put out the fire. If it weren't for them, we would really be doomed..."
