Chapter 248: Flower Shadow Ranger Li Cang

"Master Shan!" Butler Ye looked at Shan Zimo in disbelief, "My young lady is still in there!"

"It's okay. If Miss Su is hurt, I will save her!" Shan Zimo said confidently. He waved his hand and pointed at the thatched cottage, "Set it on fire!"

The people present looked at each other, not knowing what to do!

"Just do as Young Master Shan asks!" Su Yuanxiu, who had been standing aside without saying a word, said with a hoarse and broken voice, trying his best to stop himself from trembling, "Go!"

The constables and yamen runners immediately found a large amount of firewood from the surrounding woods and surrounded the entire thatched hut. The pile of firewood almost submerged the low thatched hut!

"Set fire!" Following the order from the pacification commissioner, several constables lit firewood from all directions at the same time, and a raging fire suddenly broke out!

The flames raged like a ferocious flaming beast, devouring everything around it! Thick smoke billowed, covering the sky and the sun, and the waves of heat suffocated the people present!

The thatched house was completely engulfed in flames!

"Young Master Shan!" Butler Ye's eyes were red, "Why hasn't the young lady come out yet?" He pretended to rush into the sea of ​​fire.

"No hurry!" Shan Zimo was very calm, "I'll be right out!"

I saw a scarlet halo bursting out from the flames!

"Look, here he comes!" Shan Zimo raised a trace of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and swept his contemptuous eyes over the faces of Butler Ye and the others whose faces were illuminated red by the firelight.

The scarlet light suddenly fell in front of Shan Zimo. At this time, Su Ke'er, whose clothes were torn, was wrapped up by the man in black's cloak. He held her in his arms and looked at Shan Zimo with scarlet eyes.

"You have a very hard heart!" A familiar voice came from behind the mask.

"Since we are all acquaintances, let's not hide it," Shan Zimo crossed his arms over his chest, "right, Li Cang!"

"Master Shan, you have good hearing!" Li Cang took off his mask and gently wrapped the cloak around Su Ke'er. "When did you find out?"

"What did you find out?" Shan Zimo sneered, "Did you find out that you and Su Ke'er were planning to kill me tonight?"

After saying this, Su Yuanxiu almost lost his balance, fortunately Butler Ye behind him supported him.

"Master Shan," Su Yuanxiu stepped forward tremblingly, "I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding. Why would Ke'er want to take your life?"

At this time, Su Ke'er, who was held in Li Cang's arms, had her eyes drooped, and an unconcealable sadness and guilt appeared on her handsome face.

"When Miss Su disappeared, Yuwen Lin guessed that she had eloped with someone else, but I thought it was ridiculous," Shan Zimo looked directly into Su Ke'er's eyes, with a sharp light that seemed to penetrate deep into her heart, "but it also gave me a reminder."

Shan Zimo organized his thoughts and analyzed calmly based on his many years of experience in playing script-killing games.

"Tonight, when I first came to Su Ke'er's courtyard, I was afraid that very few people knew about the secrets of this place. Even Master Su probably didn't know who had come!"

"Master Shan, that's right," Su Yuanxiu nodded, "Since Ke'er passed her coming-of-age ceremony, I have seldom come here."

"But someone knows," Shan Zimo suddenly turned to Butler Ye, "as the butler of the Su Mansion, you handle all matters, big or small, and naturally you go in and out of Su Ke'er's courtyard more often than others."

"Yes, serving the lady is my duty!"

"So, you've already discovered that Su Ke'er has someone in her heart, and," Shan Zimo said with a look of delight, "her lover is related to you!"

"Young Master, do you mean that this man in black is Miss Su's lover, and this person is related to Butler Ye?" Li asked curiously.

"That's right!"

"These are all your guesses, without any basis, sir. Please don't believe his nonsense!" Butler Ye said in panic.

"From the scene layout, it seems that someone familiar was the one who entered Su Ke'er's bedroom tonight," Shan Zimo said based on his experience in script-killing games. "And that little girl lied, too. Her micro-expressions betrayed her!"

"What are micro-expressions?" The pacification envoy also came over. He was very curious about this novel way of solving cases.

"When the little girl was recounting the incident, her facial muscles became stiff due to nervousness, her eyes flickered, her nose swelled and turned red, and the corners of her mouth twitched from time to time. Combining all these micro-expressions, it can be inferred that this little girl was lying!"

"Young Master Shan's method of solving cases is unheard of by me. Thank you for your advice!" The pacification envoy bowed.

"That is to say, Su Ke'er was willing to follow the man in black and leave in order to lure me into the trap!"

"Yes," Li Cang said calmly, "It's a pity that there is a woman who is willing to die for you, otherwise, that palm should have been on you!"

"Tell me, who are you?" Shan Zimo looked at Li Cang with a provocative look.

"I'm called Flower Shadow Ranger!"

"Ugh!" Shan Zimo spat on the ground. "You call me a knight-errant! You're just a flower-stealing thief! You sound so refreshing! In fact, I recognized you when I arrived in Hefeng Town!"

"Oh, I'm famous, so it's normal to know you!" Li Cang proudly touched the chin of the nervous Su Keer.

"Shame on you! I was checking my own bounty when I accidentally heard of you, the notorious thief! I was fooled by your name at the time and thought you were a decent person. I never thought you were just a flower thief!"

"In that case," Su Yuanxiu pointed at Li Cang angrily and said to the governor, "Sir, why don't you quickly arrest this flower-stealing thief!"

"Someone come! Capture the flower-stealing thief Li Cang!" The pacification commissioner waved his hand, and the detectives and runners all raised their weapons, formed a formation, and trapped Li Cang.

"I emphasize again, it's Flower Shadow Ranger!" Li Cang rolled his eyes helplessly, "Also, with just a few of you, you can't even touch my hair, let alone catch me!"

"How dare this thief be so arrogant!" The pacification envoy's eyes widened in anger, "Catch him to show our power!"

The constables and runners rushed up shouting, the fire was still crackling behind them, but Li Cang was still holding Su Ke'er as steady as a rock!

"Be careful not to hurt the young lady!" Butler Ye shouted anxiously.

"Loyal servant!" Shan Zimo clapped his hands and walked slowly to Butler Ye, looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze. Suddenly he smiled crookedly, "Don't worry, even if Li Cang dies, Su Ke'er will be fine!"

"Really?" Su Yuanxiu suddenly grabbed Shan Zimo's arm, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Really!" Shan Zimo patted Su Yuanxiu on the shoulder, "Just wait and see!"
