Mi Lan said angrily: "President Wang committed suicide, and the entire Wang family burned themselves to death. Your people should have been watching them, right? Why did you just stand by and watch it happen?"
Zhu Quan looked over at Chief Inspector Qi Tong'an, who forced a bitter smile and said, "Grand Governor, your subordinate feels quite aggrieved too. Originally, thinking that everyone in the Wang family were scholars with no strength to truss a chicken, and certainly not the type of petty villains to scale walls, we only assigned a single team of constables to keep watch in shifts. That added up to just four men at a time, each guarding one side—east, south, west, and north. When the fire broke out, their reaction was actually quite fast; they immediately called their colleagues at the Arrest Bureau to come put it out. But the fire spread with such ferocity that by the time our main force arrived and put it out, it was already too late! ...Sigh..."
"Useless trash! You're all cultivators; why were you afraid of a bit of mortal fire? Couldn't you have saved people first?"
