Chen Jingge immediately walked to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and said to him,""Your Majesty, my residence is on fire. I need to investigate.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he looked at Chen Jingge in confusion and said,""Why is there a fire? This was too much of a coincidence!“
Liu Bowen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang did not believe him and said,"We can send someone to the Chen family to see who is behind this. This can also be considered as comforting to him.”
Zhu Yuanzhang heard this and the doubt on his face disappeared. He looked at Chen Jingge and said,""Liu Ji, go with Chen Jingge and see who dares to burn down a magistrate's mansion.”
"Yes, sir," Liu Bowen replied solemnly.“
With that, Liu Bowen followed Chen Jingge to the Chen Residence.
At this moment, Guo Jia's voice came from behind.""Master, who set the fire? Have you caught it?”
"The murderer has been caught by Xue Rengui, but he's already dead," Chen Jingge said lightly.”
"How did he die?" Liu Bowen asked in puzzlement.“
"He took poison and committed suicide."
Hearing this, everyone could only quicken their pace.
In a private residence.
It was a middle-aged man in an official robe. Beside him was an old man with white hair.
One of them was the magistrate of Panyang County, Peng Qiming, and the other was the private advisor, Ma Zhuo.
"There's still no news from him?" Peng Qiming asked worriedly.”
"Not yet." Ma Zhuo lowered his head.
At this moment, a constable hurriedly ran in from outside the door and reported,"Family Head, there was a fire in Fengyang County last night.”
Peng Qiming's eyes lit up when he heard that. He asked,""Did you lose anything?"
"There were no casualties," the bailiff replied.”
"You may leave. Peng Qiming said thoughtfully.
After the bailiff left, Peng Qiming looked at Ma Zhuo and asked,""Why didn't anyone die?“
Hearing this, Ma Zhuo stroked his beard, and his eyes flashed as he said coldly,""Unless we get caught!"
"Could it be?" Peng Qiming asked impatiently.“
Ma Zhuo hit the nail on the head." Chen Jingge has already arrested him, but he hasn't had the time to interrogate him yet. He's doing this to make us panic!"”
"What if he blows things up?" Peng Qiming thought for a moment. What should he do?“
As he spoke, his face was filled with worry.
Ma Zhuo's eyes flashed with a trace of fierceness as he said in a deep voice,"Don't worry about that. I believe he will handle it well! His wife and children are in my hands.”
Peng Qiming smiled proudly and said,""This time, only a few walls were burned! Why didn't he burn down Chen Jingge's mansion? This Chen Jingge had turned Fengyang County into a mess! It was said that he had received the favor of the higher-ups! What were they thinking? What's so bad about my Panyang County?"
Ma Zhuo quickly said," Sir, don't be angry. Fengyang is nothing compared to you. You don't have to be afraid!" As long as we do something in Fengyang County, he will be finished sooner or later.”
At this point, his eyes became sharp.
Peng Qiming winked at Ma Zhuo. Both of them understood what the other meant.
When Chen Jingge and the others returned to the Chen Residence, Xue Rengui and the others immediately came forward and knelt down in front of Chen Jingge.
"Master, this subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me!”
Chen Jingge looked at them and said nothing. He only said,""Everyone, get up. Are there any losses?”
"There's no damage, only a few walls are charred," Xue Rengui quickly replied.”
Liu Bowen, who was standing at the side, said with relief,""That's great. There's no loss! It was already a blessing that the fire did not cause any casualties.
"Chunyun, did you find out who it was?“
"Young lord, we can only confirm that these people are from Panyang County.”
Chen Jingge furrowed his brows." This is your answer?”
"I will investigate carefully."
Chen Jingge waved his hand." He should have come prepared. We can find him quickly!"”
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Jingge.
"Then, Young Master, are we just going to let them go?”
"Of course not!" Chen Jingge said with a smile.“
Chen Jingge looked at everyone and smiled.""Let's go and take a look at the arsonist's body.”
However, when he realized that Liu Bowen was not following him, he turned to Liu Bowen and shouted,""Lord Liu, do you want to go with us?“
Liu Bowen also came back to his senses and followed closely behind.
