Chapter 2120 Trouble with Batru (2)

She sneered, threw the oil jar onto the load of firewood, and threw the oil lamp on top as well. In an instant, the oil in the lamp poured onto the firewood, and a large flame burst out. The fire was very strong. It spread quickly, not only igniting the lard jar and the entire load of firewood, but the blazing flames also ignited the ceiling!

It was spring at this time, and the spring breeze spread the fire to the entire house in an instant. The sleeping family would never have thought that such a thing could happen. They still slept soundly until they were surrounded by flames and roasted by the scorching heat. Only when I woke up did I realize that something big had happened!

"Ah----help----"

I don’t know who woke up first, and started crying and howling. Then, several people woke up. When they saw their situation, they were all scared to death, covered themselves with quilts, and rushed out of the house shouting and screaming. .

However, the door outside was locked, and it was blocked from the outside with a stick. It could not be opened at all. The dog, his father, his mother, and the nurse with big breasts and thin waist were scratching their hearts and livers anxiously. He rushed back into the house and tried to jump out of the window.

Unfortunately, the fire was too strong. Before the family could escape, the house was burned down and the roof collapsed on them. Several people, including the child, were all buried in the fire. sea!

The houses in this area are all built together. If one house catches fire, other houses will also be affected. The fire is raging in this area with the spring breeze. Overnight, not a single house in this area is left. Not only that, but many innocent people were killed and injured.

Such a big thing was reported to the court the next day. After Nangong Jin heard the report, he immediately issued an order to send the Imperial Hospital to treat the injured people, open the treasury to rebuild the homes of the affected people, and also strictly investigate the initiators of the fire. , this fire started in the middle of the night, it was obviously arson. Once the arsonist is found, he will be severely punished!

The newly appointed governor of Yingtian Prefecture, Mu Chongwen, was ordered to investigate the matter. After visiting and investigating, he quickly found out the first household where the fire broke out.

At this time, Gou'er's house had been burned to the ground, but the lock on the door and the stick holding the door were still there. It was obvious that this was an arson and murder case, and the bodies of the five members of the murdered family were all burnt. Not even a small baby was spared, and the scene was horrific.

After the burnt body was carried out, the neighbor said strangely: "Huh? Counting the children, their family should be six people. As far as I know, the wife of this family has no breast milk, so they specially hired a wet nurse at home. Where is the baby?"

Five members of a family of six died, and they were still murdered. The one who survived naturally became the biggest suspect!

The body was charred and the appearance of the deceased could not be seen. Through the autopsy, Mu Chongwen found that the deceased were an old man and an old woman, with a young man and woman and a baby outside. Therefore, it was another woman in the family who committed the crime. .

Is it the wet nurse or the child's mother?

At first, everyone thought it was the wet nurse who committed the crime, and Mu Chongwen also thought it was the wet nurse who committed the crime, because everyone felt that no woman in the world would be willing to burn her child to death. However, when the wet nurse's husband was called for questioning, , but accidentally discovered that the burnt young female corpse was his wife.

"My lord, my lord!"

As soon as the man saw the corpse, he cried and howled, "That corpse is the villain's wife."

Mu Chongwen glanced at the body, which was burned like black charcoal, and said, "The body has been burned to charcoal. How can you recognize your wife?"

The man cried: "Last year, I heard some gossip and got angry for a moment. When I got home, my wife had a dispute. At that time, I drank some wine and punched her with a punch. A front tooth, look at the corpse, isn’t there a front tooth missing?"
