After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

Chapter 208: She Was the One Who Burned the Mountain!

After an all-night investigation, Pei Ji locked down a few people who could not prove that he had alibi last night.

Among them was Pei Xuan who refused to cooperate.

He kept Pei Xuan and the locked-up people in two rooms of the hotel, and sent people to take turns guarding them, and then he went home.

Next, just wait for news from Zhou Liang.

While at home waiting for Zhou Liang to investigate all the wine shops and restaurants in the city, Pei Ji would go to the tea mountain with Zhu Jiangjiang, and when they returned home every day, their bodies were covered in ashes.

Pei Sang saw all these things.

Another day Zhu Jiangjiang and Pei Ji came back from Chashan together. Pei Sang was waiting at the intersection of Xiaohuang Village. When he saw them coming back, he couldn't help but say:

"A general, a general's wife, with your status, is it necessary for you to be disgraced like this every day?"

Zhu Jiangjiang didn't mind what he said, "You can't just do nothing, Chashan can still be saved."

Moreover, she had just talked to Huang Juan about the sale of autumn tea on behalf of others, and if she didn't think of a way to germinate the old tea trees, she would break the contract.

"Is the loss of Chashan really that big of an impact?" Pei Sang asked casually.

In his opinion, it was just a tree in the middle of the mountain, so it would be better if it couldn't be planted?

"The economic loss is not bad, but the act of arson and revenge has too much impact. You don't know how many people panicked when the tea mountain was burned."

Zhu Jiangjiang cares more about the thoughts of the villagers.

The villagers have just planted the tea tree seedlings, and they haven't picked them yet. She can't let the villagers lose confidence in growing tea.

Tea must be a bestseller in the future, and it cannot be discontinued here.

Zhu Jiangjiang's words made Pei Sang silent, his thoughts went away, and he didn't listen to what Zhu Jiangjiang said to him.

"Hey!" Zhu Jiangjiang couldn't hold back and patted him hard.

Only then did Pei Sang come back to his senses, "What's wrong?"

"I just want to ask, what are your parents doing recently, and do they have any ideas?" Zhu Jiangjiang wanted to inquire about Pei Cheng's thoughts on arranging Pei Ji's marriage.

She has been busy these days, so she didn't pay attention to what Pei's family was doing.

I don't know what they are thinking now, after Pei Ji made it clear, they didn't seem to mention it.

Could it be that he gave up?

If they give up, should they leave?What kind of thing is it to stay in Xiaohuang Village all day long!

"They..." Pei Sang didn't know what to think of, shook his head with a wry smile, and said meaningfully: "They are probably worried about Xuan'er now, they must be very anxious."

When Zhu Jiangjiang heard this, he thought he was talking about Pei Xuan not cooperating and being controlled by Pei Ji, so he didn't pay much attention.

It wasn't until Zhou Liang came back with the news that she realized that Pei Sang was actually talking about something else!

"General Pei, where's the lady?"

Zhou Liang rode back to Xiaohuang Village alone, and looked for Zhu Jiangjiang as soon as he entered the door.

Pei Ji glanced at him, and said to Pei Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, go and call sister-in-law over."

Before Pei Xiaoyu got up, Zhu Jiangjiang rushed in. She saw Zhou Liang enter the door in the kitchen just now.

"How is it? Is there any news?" She asked anxiously.

Zhou Liang nodded, and informed the two of the results of the investigation, "It has been found out. The owners of two wine shops in the city said that five days ago, someone bought a large amount of wine in the shop."

"I've already brought him back, it's at the hotel, let's go and have a look together?"

He took the two bosses to Xiaohuang Village and asked them to recognize them.

"it is good!"

The two simply cleaned up and let Pei Xiaoyu look after the house, and the three of them rode to the hotel together.

When Zhou Liang brought people back, there was a lot of commotion. Pei Ji, who had been following the progress of the case, received the news immediately and waited in the restaurant.

"Uncle, you are really free, but thank you for caring so much about my tea mountain." Zhu Jiangjiang jokingly said to Pei Sang who went to meet people with them.

Several people came to the homestay where the suspect was controlled.

Pei Ji ordered the door to be opened, and Zhou Liang took the two bosses in, "Two shopkeepers, thank you."

Two shopkeepers, one of them entered a room to recognize someone.

After looking around, they all shook their heads and said it wasn't these people.

"Please look at the other room." Zhou Liang asked them to exchange rooms to recognize people.

Seeing this, Zhu Jiangjiang, who was waiting in the living room, couldn't help but said to Pei Ji: "Sir, could it be that we caught the wrong person?"

It's not impossible, what if the person ran away after setting the fire?

"Just wait and see." Pei Ji was eager to protect his wife, and he hoped to hear good news in a while.

"is her!"

The hard work pays off, and there is a voice from the room where the female relatives are closed.

When several people in the living room heard the words, they all had happy faces, only Pei Sang frowned.

A soldier picked up the identified woman, only to hear that the woman was still yelling when she was arrested: "Miss, miss, save me..."

Miss?

Does their homestay have any guests who bring maids to live in?

Just when Zhu Jiangjiang was wondering, when she saw the person who was taken out, she immediately understood, "Ruyi?!"

Pei Xuan's maid!

"It's you?"

Seeing the identified person, Zhu Jiangjiang felt a little complicated, and suddenly felt unexpected but reasonable.

She didn't have any problems with Ruyi, but with her master, there was a serious problem.

Ruyi knelt in front of several people, trembling, her eyes kept looking into the room, and she muttered, "It's not me, it's not me..."

"My lord, this girl ordered a batch of the cheapest muddy wine in my shop five days ago."

The boss who identified the person followed and identified Ruyi, "At that time, I advised her not to drink so much muddy wine, but she said she didn't buy it for drinking."

The boss's words are enough to prove that Ruyi is the one who bought the wine.

"Tell me, is it you who set the tea mountain on fire?" Zhou Liang put on the appearance of a county magistrate deciding the case.

If you have a gavel handy, it will deter the suspect even more.

But that's enough, Ruyi was confined in the room for three days, couldn't eat well, sleep well, and was worried, now just a little scare is enough for her to confess.

"My lord, please forgive me, this is not my idea, I am..."

"As one wishes!"

Just as Ruyi was about to say something, Pei Xuan's gloomy and deep scolding sound came from the room, as if she was threatening Ruyi.

as predicted.

After hearing the threat from Pei Xuan, Ruyi was silent for a while, then lowered her head and confessed.

"I did it, I did it all."

Comparing her attitude before and after she pleaded guilty, few people in the room believed her after seeing her.

Even if Ruyi really participated in the arson, there must be a messenger behind her, and that messenger is in the house!

"Come here, take her down and continue the interrogation!" Pei Ji didn't know the case just like that, and continued to investigate.

For things like burning mountains, forgiveness is too easy to be deterrent.
