That night, rain fell in the capital again The evening breeze also carried with it a chill rarely felt in late spring Due to the nationalperiod, none of the Grand Preceptor estate’s usual lamps were lit The residence couldn’t be compared to the emperor’s Imperial Palace, but it was still one of the very best estates in the capital city A night watchman sounded the call for the second watch1 as he walked past the Grand Preceptor’s estate, only to sht watchman hastily looked towards the estate and prohtened, he cried out, “Fire, the Grand Preceptor’s estate is on fire!”
The silent stillness of the rainy night was broken by the night watchman’s shouts
Less than an hour later, the Grand Preceptor was sitting in an old-fashi+oned wooden ar five men trussed up on a torture rack Each of the men sported injuries on their bodies, while two of them had already lost consciousness The head steward Xie Laibao ran briskly into the underground chamber and bent down to speak to Grand Preceptor Xie’s ear
“Grand Preceptor, the servants have put out the fires Half of the storehouses were burnt down The old madame had a scare, but her ladyshi+p has already ordered so to invite an imperial physician from the palace”
Grand Preceptor Xie sat there without saying a word Xie Laibao retreated out of the rooure still bent over
“Setting fires,” Grand Preceptor Xie said coldly as he looked at the five ns!”
The three men ere still conscious on the racks showed no reaction to Grand Preceptor Xie’s words The head guard standing by Grand Preceptor’s side said, “Grand Preceptor, are we still keeping these five men?”
As the victim of a house fire, how could Grand Preceptor Xie not harbor thoughts of killing these uard These ui’s subordinates, so they were now collateral in his hands Their lives would only be worth so if they weren’t dead
“It’s too good for theuard said resentfully
One of the oil lamps in the basement burst into a shower of sparks with a pah For the sake of the I Yu and Lou Zigui were as anxious as dogs trying to jump over a wall Of this, Grand Preceptor Xie was very clear in his heart It’s just a pity, Grand Preceptor Xie grinned, That the Imperial Jade Seal isn’t in the Grand Preceptor’s estate
The head guard couldn’t help but get goosebuone one, how muchhalf a gold mountain at once, but His Excellency Grand Preceptor can still smile?
Xie Laibao returned again to run to Grand Preceptor Xie’s side, bending over to say urgently, “Grand Preceptor, a eunuch arrived froer wants to invite you there for a trip”
“Why are you so flustered?” Grand Preceptor Xie looked coldly at his head steward Why was this servant less and less able to endure such events? Of the six uione to find Esteeer and kick up a row As Grand Preceptor Xie understood it, his eldest daughterhim to the palace for that affair
Xie Laibao slapped hi, “This servant deserves to die”
Grand Preceptor Xie rose to his feet and glanced at the five uard, “Have them write down their testimonies, but remember not to let them die”
“Yes,” the head guard obeyed in a loud voice
Grand Preceptor Xie brought along Xie Laibao as he left the base off that local ruffian, the rascal Ning Yu again, his head suddenly began to ache

Currently, Eer Xie had just about turned her bedrooround, even the e and face powder on her dressing table, along with her jewelry case, had all been knocked to the floor, filling the room with the scene of cos open, its neat, orderly, and folded clothes left in a messy pile The end effect looked like soer’s rooms
Eer Xie fell back into her chair as words echoed in her head: The–ione! A few uarded the door outside After all the coer, they didn’t even dare to turn around and look inside Outside in the courtyard, a feards and eunuchs also stood there helpless, their expressions nervous

Ning Xiaoyao shook her head “Don’t, I don’t want to lose you in the process too”
“Then what do we do?” Oil Jar had already finished nibbling through half a sack of peanuts “Oil Jar is anxious too”
Ning Xiaoyao glanced at Oil Jar, as nearly buried beneath empty peanut shells, and fell silent Was this really someone who felt anxious?
“Then how about letting ested

“Whaa?” Ning Xiaoyao hastened to ask “Did Grand Preceptor Xie burn to death?”
Big Boss Black scratched the back of Ning Xiaoyao’s hand with his claw “What kind of good news are you hoping for? Supreme Commander’s men were captured by the Grand Preceptor He told people to hit them and they were beaten terribly”
Ning Xiaoyao was stunned Another mishap!
Big Boss Black was impatient “Xiaoyao, what do we do now?”
