Chapter 316 The whole city is in turmoil
As the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward!
Under the successive offers from Zheng Changjiang and Sun Qiu, the servants of the Sun family also gained courage!
They picked up the buckets and started splashing water!
It took two full hours before the fire at the Sun family was put out!
However, when the fire was out, Sun Ruotong... had been burned beyond recognition!
"Ruotong..."
Zheng Changjiang looked at Sun Ruotong's charred body and backed away in fear!
What he has put in over a month!
Just... died like this! ?
When Sun Qiu saw this scene, he trembled all over!
The daughter he had raised with great difficulty!
Before he could contribute anything to the family, he...died! ?
This... isn't this a huge loss! ?
But what Sun Qiu didn’t know was that he not only suffered a huge loss.
He will lose... even more!
……
"What? There was a fire at the Sun family, and Sun Ruotong was burned to death?"
Jiang Chen, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by Xu Yunchang.
Now the news of the fire at the Sun family has spread throughout Luzhou County.
Under Xu Meng's arrangement, some of Jiang Chen's veteran soldiers were collecting intelligence in Luzhou County.
After they got the news, they notified Jiang Chen immediately.
"Brother, you..."
After Jiang Chen heard the old soldier's description, he found that Xu Yunchang's face did not look good.
Thinking of what Xu Yunchang told him, that Sun Ruotong liked Xu Yunchang, Jiang Chen understood something.
He waved his hand and let the old soldier leave.
"Master, I... I don't know why, but when I heard that Miss Sun was in trouble, I felt a little... a little uncomfortable..."
After the old soldier left, Xu Yunchang looked at Jiang Chen somewhat embarrassedly.
But when Jiang Chen heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "Brother, I know you have good intentions, but you don't have to worry."
"I can guarantee that Sun Ruotong... is definitely not dead!"
……
"Um!?"
When Xu Yunchang heard Jiang Chen's words, he looked confused.
"Master, then...didn't the Sun family say that they had found Sun Ruotong's body?"
"How could she... not be dead!?"
Jiang Chen smiled and explained, "Brother, have you forgotten what Sun Ruotong said when she asked you to come?"
"Sun Ruotong said that she wants to take you far away."
"She also said that all the money of the Sun family is in her hands."
"And she just finished talking to you, and now something happened and she got burned to death."
"Don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"
"this……!?"
When Xu Yunchang heard what Jiang Chen said, his eyes suddenly shocked!
"Master, are you saying that this... is probably Sun Ruotong's way of getting out of this situation?"
"good."
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded.
"This Sun Ruotong is definitely not a simple person, so...how could she be burned to death so easily?"
After hearing what Jiang Chen said, Xu Yunchang felt a little more relaxed.
do not know why.
When he heard about this, the scene of the girl telling him that she liked him emerged uncontrollably in his mind!
Moreover, that girl's face...
On the other side, the Xue family.
Xue Wenyan was looking at a letter.
The content of the letter made Xue Wenyan look extremely ugly.
Because the content of the letter clearly stated that Sun Yaozu had been killed long ago!
The person who killed Sun Yaozu was the same person who killed Xue Bin!
That is... Jiang Chen!
"Could it be that Jiang Chen really did it?"
"However, at a time like this, we cannot just listen to Jiang Chen's words!"
"We still have to let Zhou Tiechui and Bai Mu go to the village to investigate!"
……
The next morning, Luzhou County was extremely lively.
Because early this morning, two major events were circulating in Luzhou County.
The first big event was the fire at the Sun family and the fact that Sun Ruotong was burned to death!
The second thing is that Jiang Chen from Sihe Chamber of Commerce is about to marry the county governor’s daughter!
"Have you heard that the county governor's daughter is going to marry Jiang Chen from the Sihe Chamber of Commerce?"
"Ah! Jiang Chen is so lucky! He can actually marry the county governor's daughter!"
"Haha, what do you know! Jiang Chen is not an ordinary person! He is going to be a marquis soon!"
"What!? To be made a marquis?!"
"Isn't Jiang Chen a businessman? Why did he become a marquis?"
"Yes! Isn't he a businessman?"
"Haha, did you know about the great victory on the border a while ago?"
In Luzhou County, all kinds of news were flying around.
Jiang Chen learned the news at the first opportunity.
After learning the news, Jiang Chen couldn't help but secretly exclaimed, "Oh no!"
This Xia Ningxiang is really cruel!
She actually did this to him!
Now that Xia Ningxiang has made this matter known to everyone, I'm afraid... Eunuch Zhang will get the news soon!
If that Zhang Ze was secretly adding fuel to the fire...
"Alas! It's hard to guard against!"
"None of these people are easy to deal with!"
Jiang Chen sighed helplessly.
On the other side, Zhang Ze thought just as Jiang Chen did.
As soon as he learned about this, Zhang Ze wrote a letter to Eunuch Zhang!
Moreover, Zhang Ze also implicitly stated in the letter that Jiang Chen and Xia Ningxiang were very close!
Xia Ningxiang was involved in this matter!
……
"Linglong, are you... okay?"
In the Xue family mansion, Xue Wenyan came to the backyard with a serious expression.
At this time, Xue Linglong was sitting by the bed crying silently.
When she saw her father coming, Xue Linglong hurriedly wiped away her tears.
"Father, you...you are here."
"This……"
Xue Wenyan felt extremely distressed when he saw his daughter's forced smile!
Jiang Chen, this beast!
He actually hurt his daughter like this!
This is just damned!
"Linglong, although your father does not object to you and Jiang Chen being together, but... your father has already said that Jiang Chen has many women around him, so you have to be prepared."
"Now... now Jiang Chen is going to marry Chen Xue when he is conferred the title of Marquis, you... you..."
Xue Wenyan said with helplessness on his face.
His words were like needles piercing Xue Linglong's heart.
Xue Linglong knew that Jiang Chen had many women, and she also knew the relationship between Chen Xue and Jiang Chen.
But now... now that she knew Jiang Chen was going to marry Chen Xue with such fanfare, her heart still couldn't help but ache.
Where does Jiang Chen put Chen Xue when he treats her like this?
Even if she is in mourning now and cannot get married, Jiang Chen... Jiang Chen should have told her in advance, right?
"Miss, Jiang..."
Just as Xue Linglong was secretly angry, a maid walked in.
But the maid was about to speak, but after seeing Xue Wenyan, she held back and did not say anything.
"You...what did you say?"
"Jiang...Jiang what?"
"Is Jiang Chen here?!"
Xue Linglong saw the maid and asked anxiously.
"This……"
The maid didn't dare to speak and glanced at Xue Wenyan.
But when Xue Linglong saw this scene, she rushed out hurriedly!
And just as Xue Linglong left, the maid fell to her knees with a thud!
"Master, this servant... this servant..."
"roll!"
