Chapter 272: I, Zhang San, am actually...

"Zhang San, by setting fire to someone else's house like that, isn't that going a bit too far?"

Zhang San's brows slightly furrowed as he glanced at Cui Jiu, whose face was filled with innocence, and retorted, "Wasn't that fire set by Governor Wen himself? What does it have to do with me?"

Instead, Cui Jiu was stunned into silence by Zhang San's question.

Zhang San continued to explain, "I certainly didn't start the fire; that fire was started by Wen Baohua himself. He set his own house ablaze, what does that have to do with me? Cui Jiu, you can't slander me like that! Do you realize how serious a crime arson is?"[Note 84]

Cui Jiu, curious, asked, "Then why did you use the Blow Wind Technique towards Wenzhou City? You were clearly helping him set the fire! Even if you're not the murderer, you're an accomplice."
