When Li Xin ran back to the hut at the foot of the North Mountain, the original hut, which was a bit simple but still warm, was gone, leaving only a sea of ​​fire.

There is also a lot of charcoal stored in this wooden house, so it burns very vigorously. The distance between four or five meters is hot and red, which looks particularly warm in this winter.

Two big men in thick jackets, one tall and the other short, were holding a torch in hand and gestured at the burning wooden house.

Outside the fence of the wooden house, the charcoal seller was curled up on the ground with a bruise on his face. He was obviously in conflict with these two people and was beaten by these two big men. The little girl lay on her grandfather and kept choking.

At this time, the anger in Li Xin's heart was no less than this burning wooden house.

He was just an ordinary person who feared power. He did not intend to oppose the Pingnan Marquis Mansion. He just wanted to survive in this world...

Li Xin's face turned pale. He walked behind the two strong men holding torches, gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "What are you... doing!"

Due to low productivity, it is not easy to build every house. The crime of setting fire was very serious in ancient times. The so-called murder and setting fire shows that the matter of setting fire is second only to killing people.

These two men, the taller ones are half a head taller than Li Xin, and the shorter ones are just like Li Xin, but they are much stronger than the thin ones. If nothing unexpected happens, Li Xin will definitely not be able to beat them.

The two men turned around in surprise and saw the young man behind him. They were not panicked, but instead threw the torch aside. The short man said with a smile: "Didn't you see it? You're burning the house."

Li Xin's face turned red with anger and gritted his teeth and said, "This house has a master. You burned it so blatantly in broad daylight. Are you not afraid that the government will come to take you!"

The taller man looked up and down at Li Xin, then asked, "You... are Li Xin?"

Li Xin lowered his head and did not answer.

He didn't know where the bottom line of these two people was. This small wooden house was at the foot of Beishan Mountain. There was no family within a radius of ten miles. If these two people were really thieves who killed people and robbed people, he and his grandson sold charcoal, they might die here.

Seeing that Li Xin did not answer, the tall man did not continue to ask questions, and said calmly: "It's so that my brothers know that both of us are from the Jingzhao Mansion in Beijing. Because His Majesty will come to Beishan to hunt in a few days, his colleagues came to clean up the dangers of some locations on Beishan. This wooden house happened to be at the foot of Beishan, and it was easy to hide assassins. After reporting to the Duke, after the Duke, we ordered the two of us to burn the wooden house."

As he said that, the tall man took out a document from his arms and placed it in front of Li Xin, with a large vermilion seal from Jingzhao Mansion clearly covered with.

Li Xin moved his heart, and then he remembered that when those young people were "storming" on Desheng Street half a month ago, they seemed to say that His Majesty is going to hunt in Beishan, and the location of their wooden house... was just in Beishan.

This person from the Pingnan Marquis Mansion is really flawless in his work.

As things went on, Li Xin's heart calmed down a little.

Since these two people are from the official family, at least they will not kill and hurt lives at will...?

Li Xin took a few deep breaths, barely calmed down, pointed to the charcoal seller lying on the side, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's going on with my uncle?"

Previously, when he called the charcoal seller, he always called the father-in-law, but when he talked to outsiders, he naturally had to be closer to the name, otherwise it would be unreasonable.

Another policeman waved his hand indifferently: "This old man refused to let us perform official duties and even came to push our brothers. He should have arrested him and asked to be punished in the Jingzhao Mansion prison. Seeing that he is old, he will not care about him."

The short man spoke very arrogantly. When he wanted to speak again, the tall man gestured to him, indicating that he would not continue talking.

Before leaving, the tall man glanced at Li Xin, then hesitated for a while, took out a ingot of silver from his arms, handed it in front of Li Xin, and said in a deep voice: "Little husband, this is the official silver that Jingzhao Mansion compensates you, it looks like seven or eight taels. It is not a problem to go to the money house to exchange 14 or five jin of copper coins. It is Jingzhao Mansion to compensate you for the losses of your house."

Another short man suddenly stopped and looked at his companion with a frightened look on his face.

This ingot of silver was indeed a compensation issued by Jingzhao Yin, but this kind of compensation could not be truly in the hands of the victim. In the eyes of the short man, this ingot of ten taels of silver was their "travel expenses".

He was about to rob the silver ingot, and shouted while robbing: "Second brother, you are confused, how can the Duke give any compensation?"

The tall policeman stretched out his free left hand, held his brother's hand that reached for money, and then shouted in his ear: "Brother Ge, do you want money or death?"

The tall second brother's status was obviously higher. After he asked this, the shorter man became more cowardly and quickly retracted his hand. However, he was still a little dissatisfied and glanced at the silver ingot.

The tall man sighed helplessly.

"Your portion, brother will pay you out of his own pocket."

Li Xin stood there and never looked at the ingot of official silver from beginning to end. He glanced at the two brothers deeply, turned around and ran to the charcoal seller, checking the old man's injuries.

The tall man sighed lightly, bent down and placed the silver at Li Xin's feet, and said, "Little brother, this is the meaning of burning the house. We two brothers have no choice. As for the injuries on this old man, my brother accidentally injured it by mistake. The injury is not very serious. It is cold outside, so the little brother should hurry up and find a place to spend this evening."

This tall "second brother" obviously knew something about Li Xin and Pingnan Marquis' Mansion. He lowered his voice and said, "After resting for a few days, try to leave the capital if you can leave the capital. I believe that you can see that someone doesn't want you to stay here..."

After saying that, the tall man pulled his brother and turned around and left the wooden house.

This big man could suppress the short man with a fierce face. Obviously, he would never be a bad person. The reason why he was suddenly much more polite to Li Xin was because he knew some of Li Xin's life experience and did not dare to completely offend the young master who was wandering away from the Li family.

You must know that the powerful Marquis of Pingnan was not in the capital, and he really offended this young man. If the man came back and recognized this son, it would be easy to kill the two of them with the power of the Marquis of Pingnan.

The reason why he knew Li Xin's identity was because this short man was indeed a servant from Jingzhao Mansion, and he was indeed a general from Pingnan Hou Mansion.

Watching the two big men leave, Li Xin's heart was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent. The young man took several deep breaths and turned around and squatted in front of the charcoal-selling father-in-law, his voice trembling slightly: "Brother-in-law, are you okay?"

His voice trembled, not because he was afraid, but because he was angry.

The charcoal seller still had a lot of bruises on his face. Because his skin was dark, he could not see clearly. After Li Xin called out a few times, he barely opened his eyes, turned around and looked at the burning wooden house, and couldn't help but scream.
