Although the walls of the main building are made of blue bricks, the red lacquered columns on the outside and the ridges of the cornices are all painted wood.

Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky.

It's really like Zhu Rong Tianshen was angry and powerful, and suddenly the lower realm punished the demons, leaving a Luo Mansion in a raging fire.

When the sound of the explosion finally woke up the sleeping housekeeper in the porter, he saw a red light outside the window. Jumping up suddenly, rushing out of the door, a scorching heat wave hit his face, only to see the main building in the courtyard turned into a sea of fire.

It's not good, Lord Belle is still sleeping in the building!

The family urgently woke up the other family members in the wing, a total of thirty or forty people, arranged ten people first, covered their heads and faces with a large quilt dipped in water, and rushed into the main building to save Robelle.

This is the most important job, and if Lord Belle is burned to death, all the family members will have to be buried by his old man.

Because the main building has just burned, mainly the outside is hot and ferocious, and there are a few places inside the building that have just caught fire, but the billowing smoke that chokes people to death has filled the building, and the scorching air waves are baking all parts of the house, and the company camp will be burned immediately!

Robelle, who had slept like a dead dog, was finally found, and he didn't care about his clothes, so he picked up the futon and ran out.

As soon as the door opened, the fire roared into the house, and in an instant the entire palace-style main building was red, and the flames erupted outward from the burning and shattered doors and windows, like a huge lit candle.

Robelle wasn't all asleep, and the smoke from the burning made him unconscious.

After a toss by everyone, Lord Belle woke up, looked up and saw that his mansion had become a sea of fire, and he screamed, and immediately spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and then fell to the ground.

A few of the family guarded Baylor, while the rest struggled to put out the fire.

It wasn't until dawn that the fire in Luo Fu was extinguished.

The main building of a palace court was burned to the point that only a pair of empty shelves remained, and the lacquered corridor was a long ash band, and the wings on both sides were still left because they were far from the fire point.

Around Luofu, there were many citizens who got up early to see the excitement, looking at the main building that had become a black and empty shelf, and there were many discussions.

There are many people and many people, and there are all kinds of things, but the central topic is just two words:

Retribution!

Why don't you take a look, apart from his family, whose house is on fire in all directions? Master Jingguan has not done good deeds in his life, and Lord Belle has done many evils, and a good daughter-in-law let him strangle him to death, how vicious should this person be?

If such a person is not retributed, who else will God repay?

Inside the Luo Mansion, the frightened Robelle wilted, his eyes closed and tears flowed. The families are still busy, those who extinguish the embers are extinguishing the embers, those who shovel the garbage are shoveling the garbage, and the half-burned carp in the lotus pond is salvaged and sent to the kitchen to prepare a delicious breakfast for the cook.

Robelle, who usually shows off his might, is a fan of the victims, and the people are bystanders who search for the scene of the fire.

Finally, a family member picked up a small piece of cotton wool from under an unburned pillar in the northwest corridor and handed it to Robelle. There is also a strong smell of kerosene on the cotton wool.

The family reminds that:

"This suggests that someone set the fire. ”

Then the house outside the wall found an iron drum the size of a square brick, in which some flammable liquid - kerosene was still remaining.

"Who hates me so much?" Lord Belle roared, "Oh, it must be grandma's little follower of the Mi family chick, Xiao Xiaohan! I, let you wait, this time I will dismantle you!"

Luo's mansion was burned to the ground by a fire, Robelle believed that this was Xiao Xiaohan's revenge on him, and he was currently unable to put his hateful opponent to death, thinking that if he wanted to dismantle the kid surnamed Xiao, he had to get the old man's troops.

Prepare the fast horse, glad that the stable did not catch fire, and went on the road with the two family members, according to the address mentioned in the recent old man's letter.

Luo Yingxiong is still stationed on the north bank of the Huai River, facing the Republican Democratic Army across the water, forming a confrontation situation.

There were 100,000 soldiers and horses in his camp, of which nearly 200 of the original members of the Mauser Regiment were wiped out by the Democratic Army. Because not everyone can fire a Mauser, the soldiers, who are accustomed to cold weapons with large spears and blades, are very frightened when they see the monster that smokes at the slightest hint of fire, and they don't know what kind of monster it is.

There are soldiers, but there are not enough Mauser guns, and some of the firearms used by the dead Mauser officers and soldiers have been seized by the democratic army, and all those that have not been seized have become unusable scrap.

Originally, the group of men and horses commanded by the Prince of Bronze Hat was equipped with weapons according to the personnel, and there was no superfluity. Now contact the foreigner to order, first, there is no time, and second, there is no silver at disposal.

The 200 new Mauser soldiers who were trained had to use gunpowder shotguns first, the kind that made a tom when fired.

The other 200,000 of the 300,000 rebels were stationed on the left and right flanks, so that they could support each other in the event of a war.

Prior to this, the rebel army of 300,000 soldiers and horses captured the capital, while the democratic army only had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the capital, so it had to retreat. Later, the Democratic Army stationed along the Yangtze River responded to the aid and effectively stopped the rebel attack, which formed a confrontation on both sides of the Huai River. When the fierce rebels came to Huaishui, all the large and small boats along the coast were confiscated and destroyed by the democratic army.

To cross the river, you need a large ferry that can transport horses. In order to eliminate the democratic army as soon as possible and realize his dream of restoring the throne and becoming the emperor, Luo Yingxiong set up a station and ordered the soldiers to drive the people up the mountain to cut wood and build ships, and to build large ironclad warships.

In this way, the rebels settled on the north shore, urging the craftsmen to speed up every day, so that a hundred ships could be destroyed as quickly as possible.

On this day, the herald came to report that Lord Luofu Belle had come to meet the marshal.

When the handsome Luo Yingxiong heard this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed, he put him in Xianning because he hated this unfilial dog, hoping to never see him.

The reason for this is that he has always been cruel and suspicious, and learned from the rumors that his Baylor dog had done an intolerable deed, taking advantage of the opportunity of his father to lead the troops outside, to seduce and play with his four concubines in the family, so that the children conceived by two of the sluts could not know whether they were children or grandchildren, and it was really difficult to say - it was really a family scum who should be killed!

He was not killed at the beginning, first, he had been awarded the imperial title, and he was the Baylor of the current dynasty, so he could not be dealt with according to the family law, and he had to abide by the laws of the court. If it is dealt with according to the law, it must be written to the emperor, but then this scandal will spread throughout the country, wouldn't it be a scandal?

Thinking of this, the rebel marshal couldn't help but be annoyed, and pulled out the gunpowder gun on his waist and slapped it on the table with a bang, Now that the emperor is gone, I can kill you by the way!

But when I saw it, the soldier who came to report was still kneeling on the ground, waiting for him to reply. I thought in my heart, this dog came thousands of miles away, it must be something at home, or I saw it.

Then he replied to the herald:

"Please!"

After a while, Robelle entered the tent of the Chinese army, knelt down, and shouted:

"Please spare Daddy!"

When the handsome man on the seat heard this, his heart trembled, and he asked:

"Let me spare your life?"

Robelle kowtowed and said:

"Back to Dad, our house is on fire!"

"Oh?" Luo Yingxiong was taken aback when he heard this, stood up and took a step forward, and asked, "What's the matter?

Robelle, who was on the ground, recounted the sudden fire in the gale-wind that night, with a lot of-like effort. It can be seen that he is very frightened, for fear that this handsome man who usually kills people without blinking will cut him down because of his son's dereliction of duty.

It was time to slash him. The murderous and cunning and scheming handsome father, how can he not know that if there is any misfortune or accident in the family, it is not all because of this unfilial dog?

Luo Yingxiong took another step forward, this time he saw clearly, this usually splendid and powerful Baylor, why is he so virtuous now? He was wearing the clothes of a subordinate, described as obscene, and looked sloppy, knowing that this fire must be not small, he asked:

"Do you know that this fire is caused by your own family or by someone?"

Listen to my son say:

"Back to my father, it's because of the Mi family's Mi poetry dream......"

"Hmph!" Da Shuai interrupted his son, "Why do you mention him in the past!"

"No, it's not, it's because the little goblin hooked up with a little white face again, and it's her classmate, named Xiao Xiaohan. This time he set fire to our house, it must have been done by that kid......"

Hearing him say this, the handsome man trembled with anger, thinking that the master of the Mi family did not agree to the proposal at the beginning, isn't this dog not angry enough? It seems that as his son said, he must have harassed other girls at home, causing the girl's boyfriend to secretly retaliate and set a fire. But there must be evidence for this murder and arson, right?

"It was said that the kid surnamed Xiao set the fire, what is the evidence? Is it because you are jealous of others?"

Hearing Daddy's question, Robelle took out two things from a tattered backpack, one was a mess of cotton wool, and the other was a small iron oil drum the size of a green brick, and presented them to the handsome father.

That's it?," Luo Yingxiong thought to himself.

He brought the two so-called pieces of evidence to the table, took out a magnifying glass, and examined it carefully.

The small lump of cotton wool could not be seen except for the smell of kerosene, which showed traces of burnt after burning.

There was still kerosene in the small iron bucket, which attracted the attention of the marshal. Because this high-grade iron barrel is not produced domestically, I saw an unknown foreign text under the magnifying glass, which was mixed with a few Chinese characters, namely:

U.S. Floating Oil

But on the other side, Luo Dashuai found a word written by colored paint:

rely

This character must be the surname of the owner who used this kerosene.

Da Shuai pondered for a while.

He knew that in the society at that time, this kind of kerosene was used for lighting in the people, but ordinary people could not afford to use this imported fuel, and only the rich and wealthy used this kerosene to light glass lamps or gas lamps. Ordinary people's homes can only barely use rapeseed oil for lighting.

He asked:

"The student surnamed Xiao you are talking about is a child of a rich family or an ordinary family?

Thank you for the collection and recommendation, help me cheer
