Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 745

Chapter 745: Two

"Help put off the fire!"

"Quickly!"

"Where's the water?"

The servants were working hard to stop the fire from spreading. However, the building where everything started was still burned down by the flames until there was nothing left. All that could be seen was nothing more than a pile of blackened woods and ashes.

It was a miserable sight.

Nan Hua and Concubine Mu quickly reached the area. Scanning the place, they knew that this incident was premediate. In fact, it was very likely that whoever did this was someone who knew very well what kind of place this was.

"This is the finance record building." Concubine Mu was still holding onto the scrolls as she looked at the building. Her eyes narrowed. "How fast."

This incident immediately alarmed the servants. This was already the second fire incident this month. Since it occurred during the day, the servants were quicker to put off the fire and the damage could be controlled.

However, these records were all made out of bamboo scrolls.

They could easily catch fire.

Once the fire started, there was basically no way it could be recovered anymore in this incident. Looking at the way the building ended up, it was easy to say that almost everything was directly destroyed.

"There's another fire?" Nan Shu Cheng asked in an annoyed tone. Because Emperor Yang Zhou had just gotten married, he could stay at home. In short, the court was put on holiday because the Emperor would be enjoying his new marriage life.

No one complained about this.

In fact, they celebrated this. It has been such a long time since they were given days off. To be able to stay at home and didn't have to come to the court was truly a blessing for them.

"Master, the fire seems to have started from this coal over here." Concubine Mu pointed at the burner that looked like it was so damaged. "It's still summer, but someone used the burner. And from the marks, it looks like poor coal."

Poor coal?

Nan Shu Cheng furrowed his eyebrows. Coals that were poorly made shouldn't be in this place. He had ordered his servants to make sure that the coal they used were the best. No one wanted to catch fire when they were using the heater during winter.

But then Nan Shu Cheng caught another point.

"Who's in this building?"

The servants all turned mute. No one dared to speak anything in fear that they would be used as the scapegoat in this incident. They all knew that whoever dared to step up would inevitably become the one who took the blame.

Nan Shu Cheng looked irritated then he noticed the scrolls on Concubine Mu's hand. "What are those?"

"These are what's left from the Finance Record for the past year." Concubine Mu was smiling so brilliantly, but it was this very smile that looked quite annoying in eyes of others. "I was planning on meeting you because I found some mistakes, Master."

Mistakes?

It was more like someone had been taking the money he earned with hard work for other things.

Upon thinking about the one who could possibly do this, Nan Shu Cheng's eyes turned another shade colder. He had been thinking about his first wife and how Madam Qu seemed to always appear at the right moment to accompany him. It was to the point that it looked like it was all premediate.
