Transmigrating To Ancient Times With A Kitchen-Chapter 104 - 104 Fire
104 Fire
The servant who came to report again knelt down in fear and explained, “Sir, the ground and the dungeon are on fire. I’m trying to save them, but the fire is too big. It’s already too late.”
Hearing this, Song Yuancheng sobered up. He casually put on a coat and swung his sword at the servant who came to report. He angrily walked out, “Who did this?! I’ll never forgive him!”
The private dungeon in the prefect’s mansion was built under the front yard. It was used to lock up some disobedient people. Usually, there would be guards patrolling.
Now, the dungeon and the front yard were burning. The servants and servants were frantically splashing fire with water.
!!
Song Yuancheng looked at this scene with his eyes wide open. The front yard was his office. He had put many important things in it, but now, there was nothing.
Was this an accident or was it man-made?
The housekeeper in the manor came late. He knelt at Song Yuancheng’s feet with his body trembling and said in a trembling voice, “Sir, I will do my best to save everyone.”
Song Yuancheng gave him a fierce kick and asked sinisterly, “What’s going on? Where did this fire come from?”
The housekeeper was kicked to the ground. He did not even dare to cry out in pain. He quickly knelt back down and said in panic, “This fire rose from the dungeon. When I found it, it had already burned into the yard above.”
Hearing this, Song Yuancheng turned around a few times in frustration. The fire had burned the courtyard in the front yard to the point that almost everything was burnt. The servants poured water on it back and forth like drops of water falling into the sea.
He was not a stupid and ignorant person who could become the prefect of a city. He understood the crux of the matter with a little thought.
The fire started in the dungeon. It could not be an accident because so many people were guarding the dungeon. Therefore, there was only one possibility. Someone wanted to save the people in the dungeon.
Recently, only one person was imprisoned in the dungeon. That person was his former advisor, Li Baode. Li Baode stole a very important letter from him and was imprisoned in the dungeon. He was already half-dead from torture, and he was still unwilling to reveal the whereabouts of the letter. f𝘳ℯℯ𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oν𝑒Ɩ.c𝑜𝙢
Now that the dungeon was on fire, it could only be the person who had saved him.
Who was it?
Who was the mastermind behind Li Baode?
Those letters definitely could not fall into the hands of others. Otherwise, the lives of his nine clans might be lost.
He was thinking about the people who had a hostile relationship with him and had the ability to save people from his residence. One by one, he eliminated them and finally locked on to one person.
“Ming Zhiyan!”
He spoke in a sinister tone like a venomous snake staring at its prey.
Ming Zhiyan had caused him a lot of trouble during the past half a year that he had been here. First, some of the small clans that had sought refuge with him had been exterminated.
At first, he did not think much of it. If they died, so be it. After all, he had so many people. Losing one or two people was not a big deal, he just needed to let others take over.
However, he did not expect that more and more people would die. When he wanted to take back the resources in the hands of those people, he realized that they had all been killed by Ming Zhiyan’s people.
After losing so many people and resources, he felt that his prestige had been violated. Just as he was about to teach Ming Zhiyan a lesson, he realized that Shifeng County was completely out of his control. His hands could no longer be inserted, even the people he had sent to investigate had all been killed.
This made him extremely furious. He did not expect that bastard to dare to sneak into his residence to save people now.
When he thought of the things that Li Baode had stolen, he was furious and afraid. If that thing fell into Ming Zhiyan’s hands, his head would definitely be lost.
He did not expect that he had underestimated him in the past. If he had known earlier, he would have killed him before he reached Shifeng County!
