Shrewd wife of Lin brothers

The alley where the house was located was in the dark corner. Thus no one noticed the fire getting more and more out of control until it turned into blazing flames.

"AHH!!! Someone help! The Han family house is on fire!"

"Fire! Fire! Fire! Everyone run!"

"There is a fire!"

"Leave the money bring the kids out you foolish woman! Money cannot burn!"

"Hurry! Hurry mother! We will be burned alive if you walk so slowly!"

The sounds of screams echoed in the alley, as the men who rushed out of their house started pouring water on the blazing fire. However, the fire was too big for them to stop, the flames twisted and turned until they completely engulfed the Han Family house.

When the men who were rescuing the Han family saw this, they gritted their teeth and started pouring buckets of water on the houses next to the house where the Han family lived. Since the fire was already out of control they couldn't stop it anymore. It was better to reduce the damages as much as possible!

They might not be able to save the Han family but they should at least try to save others!

"Ahh! What is going on?" The landlord came running after hearing that the house which he used to give on rent had been set on fire. He looked at the flames that were getting bigger and bigger before his head swooned and he almost fainted. "Ah, my house!"

"Landlord Zeng, you are worried about your house? The entire Han family had been burned alive!" As these people lived in slums that were yet to get any sort of development, the residents of this place were not given a job by Su Wan.

They worked hard every morning to earn money by doing all sorts of jobs. They were not aware of the fact that the Han family moved from this house and thought that they were burned alive.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Landlord Zeng glared at the residents of the slums and stated, "You think that they were burned alive? They moved away from this house in the morning! The one who suffered the loss here is me and not them! The Han family on the other hand are living with the Vice County Magistrate."

Landlord Zeng was certainly very upset with the loss of this house. Even though it was a small hut and did not have much space inside, it was still a house that had a roof and four walls. He was thinking of renting this house to someone else now that the Han family had moved away, in fact, he was already looking for someone to whom he could rent this house.

Who would have thought that this place would end up burning down? Now he would have to take money out of his pockets to rebuild this entire house! How could he not be upset?

"The Han family moved away?" One of the neighbours who returned after working all day. He looked at the burning house before questioning, "If no one is living inside the house, how did the fire start?"

That was right! If no one was staying inside the house how could a fire start?

Landlord Zeng also realized that something was wrong, he immediately turned to look at the people standing in the crowd and shouted, "Who was the one? Which one of you bastards burned this house? I know that it must have been one of you!"

When the people who helped to douse the fire heard Landlord Zeng blame them, their expressions turned livid.

"You are too much, Landlord Zeng! We are the ones who helped you by putting out the fire, how can you blame us?" One of the men said with an annoyed expression.

However, Landlord Zeng did not think that he was doing anything wrong. He pointed at the man who spoke and exclaimed, "Aha! That must be because you had a guilty conscience! Isn't that right, now tell me which one of you bastards did this? Speak when I am being nice to you or else!"

"You are being too much!"

While Landlord Zeng and the people of the slums were at one another's throats, the thug responsible for setting the house on fire ran out of the alley where he was hiding.

'Damn! I didn't know that the Han family was not in the house!' The thug cursed inwardly as he ran past the buildings that were shrouded in darkness. He was given money by the Lai family to make sure that the Han family would be killed. He did not think that the Han family would actually take precautions before anyone could make a move.

The thug was now worried that he would be chased by the guards of the county as well as the Lai family and wanted to run out of the city as soon as possible.

However just as he turned left, he saw a tall man standing in the alley. He was holding a large thick bat in his hands and seemed to be waiting for someone. Most likely him.

"In a hurry to go somewhere?" Lin Chen asked as he placed the bat on his shoulders. This was something Su Wan asked Lin Jing to make for him and Lin Chen had to admit that he liked it a lot rather than using his X bow.

He loved the impact of the hit!

The thug stiffened. He took two steps back when he saw Lin Chen walk over. Even though he had not met with Lin Chen before, he knew who he was because he had seen Lin Chen with Su Wan.

But how did this man come here?

"I. I didn't do anything!" The thug remarked as he turned on his feet to run away but as soon as he turned around, he saw Lin Yu standing at the entrance of the alley. The latter was holding a wooden gun in his hand, and from the tip, the sharp tip of a needle peeked through.

"You smell of oil and animal fat," Lin Yu stated as he walked inside the alley, though his leg was giving him a bit of trouble as the bones had been broken and fixed just a few days ago. However, he did not show it on his face as he looked at the man in front of him. "Both of these things are required to start a fire."

"Was it the Lai family who asked you to do this?" Lin Yu questioned with a tilt of his head, his face blank but there was a sweet smile on his lips making him look eerily scary.

The thug shivered as he looked behind him and then turned his head to look at Lin Yu. His expression turned worse and worse as he raised his hands and clasped them together as if praying, "I…I didn't mean to, I have a family to feed …I just wanted to make sure that they will be fine."

"You think we didn't investigate you?" Lin Chen cooed from behind. He looked at the thug who stiffened. "We knew that you had taken the bribe, it's just that we wanted to attract the attention of the officials."

Lin Chen hit the edge of the bat on the palm of his free hand before smiling sweetly, "Now that the matter has come to light, we are free to deal with you." He grinned while showing off his teeth as he stated, "You dare trouble my wife?"

"No wait—-AHHHHH!!!"

******'

The sound of bones breaking and screams of the thug were swallowed up by the screams of the fight that broke over because of the fire that the thug started. If the thug knew that he would be beaten by like this he would not have started this fire even if the money was sky high!

The next morning,

The guards of Yamen found the thug lying in front of the Yamen.

"Wh..what is this? Another thug?" One of the guards looked down at the beaten-up thug. He did not understand who was this Robin Hood who was beating up the thugs after catching them. He was even dropping the thugs in front of the Yamen instead of killing them.

The guard did not understand whether he should be glad for the hard work of this secret service or if should he blame them for beating the thugs like this.

"He might have done something wrong," the other guard sighed as he turned behind him and then said to his colleagues. "Go and bring a bucket of water. We need to wake this man up."

The colleagues were also used to seeing something like this, thus they did not even ask what was going on and went to bring a bucket of water which was poured on the face of the thug at once.

"Help! Help! Someone help!" The thug woke up with a jolt as he screamed for help the second he opened his mouth. He was scared that he would be beaten up once again!
