It is said that the autumn is high and cool, be careful of the candles.

In fact, the climate is also dry in winter, and if the wind is strong, the fire can easily spread.

Apricot lived in the backyard of the clothing store during this time, and in her sleep, she was dazed and smelled a stench like burning her hair.

At first, she didn't react, but soon, the smell became stronger and stronger, and Apricot opened her eyes to find that it was actually bright outside.

As if thinking of something, Xing'er lifted the quilt and rushed out of the room.

I saw that the kitchen had been engulfed in flames, and to Apricot's despair, the warehouse where the wool thread was stored was also on fire.

"It's on fire!"

Apricot exerted her strength to eat milk and shouted hoarsely!

"It's on fire! Come and put out the fire! ”

The guys, the guards, and the girls at the clothing store all lived in the wings of the backyard, and in the dead of night, the mournful cries of Apricot almost woke everyone up.

The few who were too tired during the day and slept too dead were also woken up.

"Quick! Get the bucket! Take water from the tank to extinguish the fire! ”

"Put out the fire in the warehouse first, the wool thread is inside!"

"Go open the back door and call for the people around you to wake up to help put out the fire!"

……

After the initial panic, Laishou began to direct everyone to separate the fire.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure!

At a critical time, it was the experienced Laishou Town that stayed in the field.

Soon, there were also many guys from other shops around to join the firefighting army.

Many shops in the West Market have backyards for the guys to live in. This shop is connected to one another, and if you are not careful, a fire will become a fire, so no matter which one is on fire, everyone is very active in helping to extinguish the fire.

To save others is to save oneself!

……

In the Fan Yang linen shop opposite, Shopkeeper Lu stood alone on the second floor, watching the fire on the side of the clothing store, with a weird smile on his face.

A heart hanging in the air immediately let go of most of it.

Seeing that some of the guys in his shop also went over to help put out the fire, Shopkeeper Lu quietly returned to his room in the backyard.

Then, after half an hour, he heard the sound of the men coming back outside, and he got up and asked the men what had happened, as if he had just been woken up.

"What are you doing, making a lot of noise at night, and not letting people sleep?"

"Shopkeeper Lu, you must not know, the clothing shop opposite is on fire, and the fire has burned down several side houses." A guy spoke to Shopkeeper Lu in a slightly happy tone.

Although everyone was still more righteous and positive when fighting the fire, but looking back, the guys in the burlap shop were a little secretly happy in their hearts.

During this time, the business of the burlap shop became more and more bleak day by day, and everyone basically knew what the reason was.

Now that the culprit is unlucky, of course everyone is happy.

"On fire? How could a good clothing store catch fire? Shopkeeper Lu asked, pretending not to know anything.

"Hey, who knows!"

……

In the backyard of the clothing store, although the fire was extinguished, everyone did not go to sleep.

On the contrary, instead of arranging for longevity, everyone spontaneously began to clean up the scene after the fire.

As for the guys who helped with the fire in other shops, they naturally left after the fire was extinguished.

There is no need to worry about your shop being burned down, so naturally there is no one left to help.

Businessmen value profit over separation, and these guys are also businessmen at heart, so they won't really be so eager to help others.

"Uncle Laishou, basically everything in the kitchen has burned down!" Xing'er cried with a sad face and told Laishou about the results.

"When the kitchen burns, it burns, and then it is rebuilt. It was imperative to make sure that the wool threads were burned out, and then to find out how it caught fire. ”

Laishou frowned, faintly feeling that tonight's fire was a little strange.

"Although the burning in the warehouse is not so bad, the wool thread in it is estimated that it is finished, and I will take someone to take a look now."

In Apricot's eyes, the warehouse is a place that fuels fires more than the kitchen, and she doesn't have much hope.

By the light of the moon, a few men rummaged through the ruins of the warehouse with torches.

"Apricot girl, apricot girl, come and see!"

With a shout of excitement, a guy picked up a roll of woolen thread in his hand.

"This pile of woolen thread, except for the outer layer burned out, there is nothing on the inside!"

Apricot rushed to the pile of wool thread in three steps and two steps, and used both hands to peel off the burned wool thread on the surface.

Soon, a brand new pile of wool thread appeared in front of everyone.

Apricot didn't say a word, and quickly turned around and pulled up in a pile of wool thread next to her.

Seeing a similar situation in several piles of wool thread one after another, Xing'er felt relieved and sat on the ground, "God willing, there are still most of the wool threads fine!" ”

Soon, everyone was relieved to know that the wool thread had not been burned and that the damage had not reached the worst case.

Moreover, everyone is more in awe of the clothing store.

Even such a fire can't burn down the warehouse, is this a blessing from heaven?

Of course, if Li Kuan was here, he would definitely know what was going on.

Wool products are inherently flame retardant.

This is closely related to the special molecular structure of wool, as long as it is not in a particularly high temperature furnace, it is impossible to burn all the wool threads in the warehouse by relying on a large fire.

This is also an important reason why the fire in the warehouse is not as big as in the kitchen.

If there is sackcloth in the warehouse, there is absolutely nothing left!

Well, only a pile of ash remains, to be exact!

……

Tai Chi Palace.

As soon as Li Shimin left the court, Li Zhong hurriedly walked over.

"Your Majesty, the clothing shop in the Chu Wangfu was on fire last night!"

"What?" Li Shimin looked at Li Zhong in surprise.

It doesn't catch fire in the morning, it doesn't catch fire in the evening, but the wool thread is on fire when it sells best.

This made Li Shimin think a lot immediately.

"The warehouse where the wool thread is stored and the kitchen on the other side are on fire at the same time!"

"The other side?" Li Shimin was keenly aware that things were really unusual.

Li Zhong: "Yes, two houses dozens of steps apart are on fire at the same time!" ”

Li Shimin: "Hmph! Kuan'er guarded the frontier for the imperial court, and just made a great contribution last year, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, such a thing happened. Do you know who did it? ”

There is no need for any evidence, Li Shimin and Li Zhong are very sure of the judgment that the clothing shop of the Chu Wangfu was set on fire.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has offended too many people, and it is not good to make a direct conclusion for a while!" Li Zhong explained slightly embarrassed.

"Yesterday, Wuji was still proposing to let Kuan'er return to Beijing, and I was struggling at the time, so it seems that there is no need to be entangled now. Lan He, you go to Liangzhou again and announce the decree to let the King of Chu return to Beijing! ”
