This was the third time Wenzhu had come to deliver a message tonight, and he felt that this task was becoming more and more difficult.

Madam repeatedly told Third Master not to come over. Although Third Master listened to Madam, he kept asking questions. If he hadn't persuaded her, he would have come over and carried Madam back.

Su Qingyu didn't raise her eyelids and said, "Tell the third master that I will go back soon."

In fact, she didn't know when she would go back.

Wenzhu wanted to find out the exact time, otherwise the third master would kick him if he went back again.

"Madam, what time is that..."

Halfway through the question, the Hat Alley not far away suddenly burst into flames. Then two men in black ran out of the alley, looking sneaky.

Su Qingyu followed the gap in the carriage curtain and saw the figure outside, and quickly ordered: "Wenzhu, catch him alive."

She had already ordered several people guarding the Qian family to catch the arsonist, and the two people who just ran away might have slipped through the net.

Just in case, she asked Wenzhu to arrest people. This witness is not only the key to testify against Chen, but also the last straw for Mr. Qian to tell the truth.

Su Qingyu got off the carriage and walked towards the house next to Qian's house.

At this time, many people in Maomao Alley ran out. Some shouted to put out the fire, and some said to report to the police.

But the front door of the previously vacant house next to Qian's house was not even opened.

Su Qingyu walked to the back of the house. The person who had been leading people inside was Jiang Qi, the deputy commander of the guards of the West Courtyard of the Shen family.

At this time, Jiang Qi was leading five or six people, and some of them were carrying people in their hands.

"Madam, we caught a few of the arsonists you ordered to arrest, and there should be two more who escaped."

Su Qingyu signaled Jiang Qi to be optimistic about the good guy, and she went in first to meet Mr. Qian.

Pushing open the back door and going in, the yard was silent, except for the candlelight in a room in the main house.

When Su Qingyu entered, more than a dozen members of the Qian family were huddled in a room. Everyone, including Mr. Qian, looked horrified.

If they hadn't moved here today, would their whole family have perished in the flames?

I have to say that the house Su Qingyu found for them was very good. It can make them deeply feel the feeling of brushing against death.

"There's a flood at home, won't Mr. Qian go put out the fire?"

Su Qingyu sat down at the table and asked with a slight smile.

Mr. Qian looked at Su Qingyu suspiciously, "The third lady couldn't have set the fire, right?"

It’s no wonder that Mr. Qian was suspicious, the fire was so strange. What if the third lady deliberately set fire to blame the eldest lady in order to make him submit?

Mr. Qian knows that the account book is his life-saving talisman. As long as the account books are in his hands, the third lady will not kill him. Therefore, he had less worries when talking to Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu knew that he would think so, and it was human nature.

Fortunately, she was well prepared.

After giving Jade a wink, Jiang Qi walked in with someone in a short while. In addition to Jiang Qi, Wen Zhu also brought two people in.

Those arrested were all dressed in black and had their faces covered. One person was holding a kerosene in his hand, and another was carrying a kerosene bucket. What he has done is obvious.

Jiang Qi and others knelt down on the men in black, waiting for Su Qingyu to speak.

Su Qingyu glanced at the six people kneeling on the ground and said to Mr. Qian: "These people are the arsonists we caught. I will interrogate them in front of Mr. Qian."

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Qi and others pulled down the masks covering their faces.

Su Qingyu glanced at these six people, and none of them were from the mansion.

Just as she thought, Mrs. Chen would not be stupid enough to use an acquaintance in the house to do this.

These people are probably third-rate killers who were hired with money to eliminate disasters.

Su Qingyu looked at Wen Zhu, "Do you have a knife on you? I'll ask questions. Anyone who can't answer will be killed by me."

Killing such a person can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

Wenzhu's mouth twitched, thinking that the third master's interrogation was simple and rough enough. When it comes to Madam, it's easier than Third Master.

Obviously the two of them stand together on weekdays, and they look like a perfect couple no matter what. Why do you feel like a Rakshasa from hell whenever you encounter this kind of thing? It's a perfect match.

He has been with Shen Zhixiu for many years. He has done many such things and knows how to cooperate.

A short knife was pressed directly against the neck of the man in black who was kneeling on the far left.

Su Qingyu was sitting on the chair with a dignified and elegant manner, staring at the man with cold eyes.

"Who asked you to set fire?"

The man raised his neck, not caring at all about the short knife on his neck.

"It's useless for you to ask. We pay people to do things for others, but we won't say a word that we shouldn't say."

Su Qingyu didn't waste any words and ordered Wenzhu in a cold voice, "Kill him."

Wenzhu didn't hesitate. His wife's order was comparable to an imperial edict to him.

When the knife went in, the man's eyes widened in disbelief. At the last moment, he was still thinking, why was it different from what he expected?

Wenzhu threw the person to the side, then grabbed the second person, and pressed the short knife against Bo's neck again.

Su Qingyu asked again in a cold voice: "Who ordered you?"

The second person is not as spineless as the first person. For him, survival is more important than anything else.

Without any hesitation, he said: "It was a man who came here. He did not tell me his identity."

Su Qingyu snorted, "Kill him."

The man quickly shouted: "But we found out the identity of this man. He is the owner of Wangji Shaobing Restaurant in the east of the city. His name is Wang Sheng'an."

"We were given a hundred taels of silver, and all we asked was to burn down the Qian family's house."

The rule in their industry is that they do not ask about their identity, but every time someone comes to them to do something, they will check who is looking for them, just to be prepared.

For example, in today's situation, if you know the inside story, you can escape.

Even though it's a business with their heads in their belts, they all want to keep their heads.

Su Qingyu thought for a moment and pointed at the person who spoke, "Stay this person and watch it alone. Send everyone else to Shuntian Mansion."

These people probably carry human lives with them, so the "Da Zhou Law" will naturally punish them.

The questions that need to be asked are over. As for the shopkeeper Wang, we need to send someone to check tomorrow.

After sending Wen Zhu, Jiang Qi and others out, Su Qingyu looked at Mr. Qian again.

"Mr. Qian, do you understand? I did not set the fire. As for who it is, I will check tomorrow."

"I guess, I should be able to get involved with the eldest lady in the end."

Afraid that Mr. Qian still refused to speak, Su Qingyu continued to speak coldly.

"You have to think about it carefully. I will only give you this one chance."

"It's okay if Mr. Qian doesn't want to say it. I have plenty of ways. Do you think this lady is begging you?"

With the last sentence, the momentum suddenly became fierce.

Mr. Qian recalled the tone in which Su Qingyu had just said "kill him" and immediately lost his temper.

"Third Madam, please spare your life. I'm going to get the account book right now."

When Mr. Qian brought the box containing the account books, Su Qingyu looked at the box and said to herself, "What a risk."

Fortunately, she didn't use force on Mr. Qian just to be on the safe side.
