After Xie Yunbin and Gu Chengze chatted for a while, Gu Chengze begged Xie Yunbin to hide the truth from the rest of the Xie family, and then the two said goodbye one after another. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Xie Yunbin returned to the Yongxing Dart Bureau, night had fallen, and the cold wind was howling to blow Xie Yunbin's clothes, and he wrapped his clothes tightly and walked into the Yongxing Dart Game with his hands around him.

After a while, all of a sudden, shouts rang out one after another in Xiangyang Mansion.

"It's on fire!"

"Come on!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

The shouts were louder and louder, and many people ran out one after another with the shouting, only to find out that it was the government that was on fire.

The fire was raging, and the wind was raging, and the fire was getting bigger and bigger.

In the dark night, a fire ignited in the palace was as spectacular as a dragon, and it was like an untamed dragon swimming and flying under the black curtain.

People joined in the fire-fighting operation, some holding copper basins and others holding wooden barrels, and poured them on the fire.

And a few people also ran out of the palace from time to time, all of them were gray and black, ragged and frightened, and after running out, they inhaled vigorously and fell to the ground.

They inhaled heavily, their eyes widened, and after recovering their senses, they looked back at the fire that had risen into the air, and their faces were horrified.

Not long after, Master Gu and Master Xu also rushed over.

Master Gu was dressed in ordinary clothes, and Master Xu simply put on a big coat outside his clothes, shivering in the wind.

Old Master Gu's eyes reflected a raging flame, like a beating fire snake in his black pupils.

He frowned and looked at the prefect Xu who was trembling not far away.

Then Master Gu didn't care about anything else, commanded the people and the subordinates of the Gu Mansion to extinguish the fire, and even began to carry a wooden barrel to bring buckets of water from nearby to start extinguishing the fire.

When I found out, the fire was already quite small, and coupled with the strong wind, the government had already sunk into a sea of fire.

Master Gu grabbed an officer and soldier who finally ran out, and shouted anxiously: "How many people are there inside?" ”

The officer and soldier looked tired and shook his head weakly: "I don't know, there are ...... A lot of people are in there, I don't ...... Know. ”

Old Man Gu was angry and let go of the officers and soldiers, looking at the government that was about to be burned out by the fire, he felt helpless.

At this moment, Master Xie, Xie Yunbin, Xie Qingyao, and many people from the Gu family all ran over, and they all seemed to be in a hurry after learning about the situation.

"Chengze, Changqing," Old Man Gu shouted loudly with a gloomy face.

Gu Chengze and Gu Changqing took a few steps forward.

"Go in and rescue all the soldiers you can sav, and you must do your best." Old Man Gu had no fear on his face, and ordered coldly.

And Gu Chengze and Gu Changqing nodded in response, and without saying a word, they poured a bucket of water from the head to the bottom and immediately rushed into the fire.

The eldest lady and the third lady behind them couldn't bear to see it, but they didn't dare to say much, they clearly knew that these were the responsibilities that their sons were born to bear.

Master Gu looked at the door where Gu Chengze and Gu Changqing had disappeared, and then he also picked up a bucket of water and poured himself thoroughly, and as soon as he took a step, an officer and soldier who ran out stepped forward to stop him.

"Your Excellency, you can't enter!"

"Adults, never!"

Master Gu shook it off and rushed in directly without thinking.

Governor Xu looked at the scene on the side of Gu Mansion not far away, and the corners of his mouth were faintly hooked slightly.

On the other side, Ma Tong watched the fire burn more and more, and the firelight reflected on his face wanton arrogance, reflecting the desire on his face.

There were few people standing around the palace, and everyone had already joined in the fire extinguishing operation, hoping that they could extinguish the fire in an instant.

And Gu Chengze, Gu Changqing and Master Gu also carried out one officer after another, and then submerged into the fire.

The fire continued until dawn, when the rooster crowed, and the fire stopped, leaving a ruin in front of you.

The clothes of the three members of the Gu family were already in tatters, and they could no longer see their original color, and their faces were even more smoked into coal gray by the fire, which was very embarrassing.

Ma Tongju stood beside Governor Xu, approached a few points and whispered: "This time, Master Gu has won the hearts of the people again. ”

"People's hearts can't be eaten," Xu Zhifu looked at the ruins from afar, and said softly: "In the end, it still depends on who is strong and who is weak." ”

"That's," Ma Tongju nodded and said, "This time the Gu Mansion is helpless, and Xie Zhuoyan's head is about to fall to the ground." ”

Governor Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Go and clean up the scene." ”

Ma Tong nodded and walked towards the ruins.

Nowadays, in addition to the gate of Xiangyang Mansion, which is still intact, all the houses in the courtyard are spared.

In particular, the storage room in the back room has been burned to the point that only the sawdust and iron are burned to a gray and black, and it is impossible to tell what kind of thing it was.

Master Gu took the handkerchief sent by his subordinates, wiped his face indiscriminately, walked into the mansion and ordered: "Count the casualties first, and carry them out one by one." ”

On the other side, the prefect Xu also instructed others to clean up the scene, and the people who helped put out the fire all night had no energy to continue to watch curiously, and they all went home with their copper basins and wooden barrels to sleep and rest, and the women and children present were also dismissed by Master Gu and returned home, leaving only the officers and soldiers and the two young masters of the Gu Mansion at the scene.

It took two hours for the eyebrows to be cleared, and all the officers and men who had been killed and wounded were carried out and lined up in the courtyard.

There are more than 30 people in total.

Old Master Gu leaned over and squatted beside him to look at the corpses lying on the ground, all the corpses were now beyond recognition because they were burned by the fire, and the clothes on their bodies had been burned to the point that there was hardly a piece of cloth left.

Master Gu beckoned to summon the Xiangyang Mansion's mansion experience, pointed to the corpse on the ground and asked, "Can you still find out your identity?" ”

Zhang Shi looked at the rows of unrecognizable officers and soldiers in front of him and sighed helplessly: "There is nothing the lower officials can do, their identities can no longer be found, and they can only be determined through the roster." ”

"What about the name book?" Old Man Gu kept staring at the rows of corpses in front of him.

Zhang experienced a moment of hesitation, and he naturally knew that Gu Fucheng and Xu Zhifu had a lot of trouble in the reigning list.

"I don't know where the name book is, but the Xu Governor's Mansion took it from me earlier, and then it was ......"

Master Gu nodded and raised his hand to signal that he didn't have to continue, he also knew that after that, it would be a matter of himself and Governor Xu fighting for the roster.

This is Xu Zhifu came over with a regretful face, arched his hand, sighed at Zhang Shi and said: "The name book is in my drawer, the house has burned down and there is nothing left, Zhang Shi will be a little more troublesome." ”

Master Gu frowned, and Zhang Shi nodded in response: "Yes, yes." ”
