章節 118: News Spread in Da Cheng

The next morning, news of Prince Jing mansion caught on fire the night before spread across the Capital city. The fire was quite big, damaging thirty percent of the property. Fortunately, as the fire started at a secluded place, there were no casualties reported.

The officers from the fire department and department of justice came in and out from Prince Jing's mansion to investigate the matter. Some busybody onlookers camped outside Prince Jing's mansion to catch the first news about the fire.

Prince Jing testified that an intruder broke into his house and started the fire. However, the culprit managed to get away as his guards failed to catch him.

The officers from the department of justice were dispatched to look for the culprit. The only clues they got from Prince Jing's guard was that the culprit had an injury on his left arm.

The officers turned the city upside down, but they could not find the culprit.
