After being exiled, I took my whole family to farm in space

Chapter 475 Ye Huaifeng's Nocturnal Ambulance

"We will be on guard duty, you guys go and rest!"

In recent nights, an arsonist appeared in the town. He specifically targeted wealthy families. Fortunately, he was discovered in time and only some financial losses occurred, but no one was killed. Each mansion also carefully arranged servants to keep watch at night.

"Everyone, get alert and patrol. The master said that if we catch the arsonist, we will be paid more. We must not let the thief succeed."

A group of three people were patrolling the yard with lanterns, and a figure flashed by the wall.

"Who's there!" A young servant shone a lantern over there.

"Xiao Si, you mistook it for the shadow of a tree."

"No, what I saw just now were human figures. Thieves came to our house."

"It's really here, are you sure?"

"Someone must have come in."

"What are we waiting for? Let's notify everyone right away." The servant picked up the gong in his hand and started beating it. The sound of the gong and running broke the silence of the night.

"The thief is here, come over and catch him."

Ye Huaifeng was discovered as soon as he picked up the tinder. He was not panicked at all when he heard the shouting. He continued to light the fire and threw it out with dull eyes.

"You bold thief, I'm waiting here, and you dare to set fire."

The servants surrounded the people and saw that the sparks had already been lit, so they rushed over to put out the fire. Ye Huaifeng felt someone approaching and attacked.

The owners of the house were woken up and came out with lanterns in hand to check. They saw the servant lying on the ground wailing. A tall figure stood there unexpectedly, took out a lighter from his arms, lit it and threw it out.

Mr. Liu was furious: "Where did this thief dare to set fire so brazenly? Butler, hurry up, catch him and beat him with sticks."

"Yes, sir."

The fire started, Ye Huaifeng turned around to leave, and the servants who came later surrounded Ye Huaifeng with sticks.

The surrounding lights were bright, and everyone could see the arsonist's true face.

"Wait, don't fight yet." Mr. Liu was startled and wiped his eyes several times before confirming Ye Huaifeng's identity.

"The… the… the… prince."

"Master, why would the eldest prince come to the palace to set fire?"

"How should I know?" Mr. Liu was now wondering how he had offended the eldest prince, causing him to stay up late at night and come to his house to set fire.

"Your humble servant greets the eldest prince. What brings you to my humble home so late at night?" Mr. Liu was very nervous, but he still greeted with a smile.

Ye Huaifeng walked straight past him. Mr. Liu asked in vain. The servants of the Liu family were even more confused. The identity of the arsonist turned out to be a prince.

The housekeeper noticed that something was wrong with Ye Huaifeng and reminded him, "Master, the eldest prince seems to have a strange look on his face."

At this moment, Mr. Liu was thinking about how he had offended the eldest prince and didn't even look at Ye Huaifeng closely.

"What's wrong?"

"The eldest prince seems to be... wandering at night."

"Night wandering? The eldest prince has night wandering syndrome."

"It's probably true. Look, his eyes are dull and lifeless, and he seems not to hear us."

The housekeeper and Mr. Liu followed Ye Huaifeng, observing him and whispering.

"Look, the eldest prince is still wearing his nightgown."

"It turns out to be sleepwalking." Mr. Liu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had not offended anyone and that the eldest prince had not come into the mansion to set fire late at night.

"So these past few days, it was the eldest prince who came out to set fires."

"I think so." The butler nodded.

"What is this hobby of the eldest prince?"

The servants saw their master following the eldest prince and saw the fire getting bigger and bigger, so they asked:

"Master, what should we do now?"

"Are you still asking? Can't you see the fire is getting bigger and bigger? Put it out!"

"Yes, yes." Everyone started to panic again to put out the fire.

"Butler, find two servants to follow the eldest prince and watch him as he returns." If anything happens to the eldest prince's sleepwalking, their family will probably suffer.

The next day, after the news that the Liu family had caught fire spread, several wealthy families from the previous families rushed to find Mr. Liu.

"Is the arsonist really the Crown Prince?"

"It's absolutely true. I sent my servants to follow the eldest prince all the way to the county government office. I went to bed only after he came back."

Mr. Liu told several people what happened last night.

"I didn't expect the eldest prince to be awake in the middle of the night and run around and set fires."

After a moment of silence, someone said:

"It turns out that the eldest prince suffers from sleepwalking. Let's go to the county government to withdraw the case."

"Let's go to the government office and withdraw the case."

They couldn't afford to offend the prince, but fortunately they only lost some property, so they accepted it.

"Master, the government is here to investigate." The housekeeper came in with a few officers.

"You guys are all here."

"Captain Gao, please come with me. We are about to go to the county government to dismiss the case."

"Withdraw the case? Didn't the Liu residence also catch fire last night? Why are you all getting together to withdraw the case?"

"It's this person who set the fire. We can't afford to offend him."

"Mr. Li found the arsonist?"

Li Yuanwai stopped his hands and said, "Captain Gao, this man is not a thief."

Captain Gao was completely confused by what he heard. Why did he feel that these people were very afraid of the arsonist?

"Don't worry, no matter who this person is, since he set fire to a house, we will deal with it impartially and give you justice."

"No, Captain Gao, the arsonist is a very important person. Besides, he didn't do it on purpose. We didn't suffer any loss. You can just help us close the case when you return."

"It's not intentional arson?" Captain Gao became even more confused after hearing the incoherent words.

"No, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Captain Gao, I told you, the one who set the fire was the eldest prince."

"The eldest prince!"

"Yes, the eldest prince came to my house and set fire last night, and I discovered him." Mr. Liu smiled bitterly.

Captain Gao suddenly realized, "So that's what's going on. Come with me to the government office."

"Captain Gao, we want to drop the case, so there's no need to go!"

"Before leaving, the Seventh Prince told me to take you to the government office. Let's go!"

Not long after, the news that Ye Huaifeng had set fire to the residences of several officials spread to Tongcheng, and the people ran to the county government office to watch.

In the lobby, County Magistrate Han asked:

"My fellow officials, the arsonist you are accusing is the Crown Prince?"

"Sir, we are here to withdraw the case." Several people didn't understand why the court session started right away.

“Setting fire for several consecutive nights, this kind of evil thing cannot be tolerated. Don’t worry, if it were the eldest prince, the seventh prince and I are here, we will give you justice.

If it wasn't the eldest prince's fault, I will give him justice. Mr. Liu, please tell me in detail how you found out about the eldest prince. "

Mr. Liu looked at the two princes sitting below him and said, "Sir, this is what happened..."

"You mean that my eldest brother has sleepwalking syndrome and went to the mansion to set fire in the middle of the night."

"That's nonsense. Your Highness has never suffered from sleepwalking."

"Everything I said is true. What I saw last night was indeed the eldest prince. Two servants saw him enter the county magistrate's mansion with their own eyes."

Mr. Liu's forehead was sweating in such a cold weather. How could he have encountered such a thing?
