Chapter 225: Fighting Fires
After a long conversation, Fang Zi'an knew a lot of inside information, and his mood was quite heavy and angry. m.zjmqc.
"Two brothers, thank you for telling me these things and letting me know the inside story of the yamen. These behaviors are simply outrageous, and I really didn't expect that the Yamen of the Defense Army was rotten to such a degree. Xia Liangdong is perverse and lawless, and this matter must not be stopped. Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice.
Li Dalong arched his hand and said, "Lord Fang, what do you want to do?" That Xia Liangdong is not easy to mess with, it is said that he has a backer above. The court fire officials colluded with him, and he paid a lot of filial piety. There was a brother below who had gone to the yamen above to report Xia Liangdong and these things in the yamen, but this brother came back with the front foot, and Xia Liangdong arrived with someone on the back foot and beat him half to death. He was locked up in a firewood room for more than a month, and after being released, he was skinny and died of illness within a few days. This guy pretended to go to his family and gave a few taels of silver to finish the job. Lord Fang, if you want to fight Xia Liangdong, then you have to be completely prepared. ”
Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Thank you for your concern." If he dares to act so recklessly, he must have no fear. It is very likely that the officials above colluded with him. However, this is the Great Song Dynasty, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, so he can't cover the sky with one hand. Now that I'm here, I'm not going to let him do whatever he wants. Are you afraid, two brothers? The two of you told me this, and you are so close, Xia Liangdong should know it. Aren't you afraid of their retaliation? ”
Lei Hu said loudly: "I'm not afraid. I've had enough of this. We were submersible firefighters for the benefit of the people, and my uncle still entrusted me to get me here. Originally, when Lord Jiang was a defense officer in the first few years, we were quite respected. On the street, there are also people who send tea and steamed buns to us to eat and drink, and they are all grateful to us for protecting their safety. I'm pretty proud. But now, all the miasma has become the object of scolding from the people, and I can't stand it. Xia Liangdong still wants to win me over, knowing that I am fighting badly, and wants me to be a dog leg for him, but I don't have a bird. And he withheld my salary. Lord Fang, I'm sorry for yesterday's incident, I care too much about this identity, as soon as I heard you say that our defense army yamen is full of pus, I can't help but go up and compete with you. Just to let you know that we're not all pus-filled eggs here. I, Dalong and some other good brothers are not pustules, and we didn't do anything bad. The people who did the bad things were Xia Liangdong and the people he co-opted. Some people have lost their conscience and blackened their hearts, and I wish they were all dead. ”
Fang Zi'an patted Lei Hu's shoulder, calmed his excited mood, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Lei Hu, Brother Dalong, you are all good. Don't worry, I'll settle the matter. I will not allow this to continue to deteriorate. The defense army can't be swayed by Xia Liangdong, and he can't be allowed to do anything wrong. ”
Lei Hu nodded happily. Li Dalong said: "If Lord Fang has anything that can be used to us, our brothers will not be ambiguous. Not only me and the Fat Tiger brothers, but also many brothers who were bullied. Everyone actually held back a wave of anger in their hearts, but no one took the lead. If Lord Fang needs us, we will contact the others and be on your side. ”
Fang Zi'an hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't, the content of today's conversation is only known to you and me, don't tell anyone, and don't spread it." ”
Lei Hu frowned and said, "Is Lord Fang afraid of Xia Liangdong?" ”
Fang Zi'an shook his head and smiled: "Do you think I'm afraid?" If I had been afraid of him, would I have beaten him in public yesterday? I just don't want to startle the snake, and the people will make him wary. I need evidence and confession for all these things he does, and when I get conclusive evidence, I can go to the court, understand? If he had been on guard, we would not have had this evidence
Finish. ”
Lei Hu said: "I see. It's that I want to be crooked. Sorry. ”
Fang Zi'an waved his hand and said, "It's nothing." Don't mind. ”
Li Dalong muttered: "Then Lord Fang, we can help you do this matter of collecting evidence." From now on, I will inquire about the news, record those people, what they did, and what they said, and hand them over to Lord Fang when the time comes. We can find some brothers we can trust to help collect it, and it will definitely not be leaked. What do you think, my lord? ”
Fang Zi'an thought for a while: "Yes, but you must be careful." Don't let the news slip out. Don't deliberately ask, lest you show your tracks. There's no need to rush this, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. If this guy really has a backer, he needs ironclad evidence. ”
Li Dalong said: "The villain is only worried, Lord Fang is afraid that he will stay here for a short time." If you fall out with Xia Liangdong, he will definitely frame you secretly. He's going to get in the way. I'm afraid adults won't be able to fight him. ”
Fang Zi'an smiled and said: "Two, there are people in his court, and there are people above me, but don't worry." Although I am the master of the yamen, I am an official of the imperial court, and my position is more upright than him. I am the first and first rank of the imperial examination, what is he? Don't worry, I promise you that Xia Liangdong will be finished. ”
"Great, I'll just tell Brother Dalong, Lord Fang is definitely a good official. I saw it yesterday. Be merciful to my men. Lord Fang, if you have any orders, our brothers will definitely go to the soup and fight the fire, and we will not give up. Lei Hu shouted happily.
Fang Zi'an smiled: "Thank you, I don't think it's too early, so I'll go back to the yamen." I will come to you if you have something, and you can go to the yamen to find me if you have something. And so he took his leave. ”
Lei Hu and Li Dalong hurriedly stood up and sent Fang Zi'an away. When he walked to the outside of the barracks, he suddenly heard the sound of a gong above the city wall in the west, Fang Zi'an looked up, and saw someone waving a small red flag above the high watchtower on the city wall, and the other hand was violently beating a gong.
"If there's a fire, you have to put out the fire! Looking at the flag, it should be three streets away in the northeast, and it should be there in Huaishu Lane. Li Dalong said loudly.
"Today is Chen Mazi and Wu Dazhi, they are on the day shift, why didn't they come out? These dog offal. Lei Hu frowned.
Li Dalong said: "Don't count on them, they may have forgotten their parents who are gambling, count on them, the fire can't be extinguished." Go and tell your brothers to get up, and let us go. ”
Lei Hu agreed, rushed into the barracks near the left, and roared loudly: "Brothers, fight the fire, put out the fire, get up." ”
There was a sudden commotion in the barracks, and through the window, it could be seen that the more than 20 soldiers of the defense army who were on duty last night quickly got up from their bunks, dressed and put on their shoes, and quickly prepared.
Li Dalong handed over to Fang Zi'an and said, "Lord Fang, we are going to be on fire, but we can't send it to adults." ”
Fang Zi'an said in a deep voice: "I will also go with you." ”
Li Dalong was stunned and didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded and said, "Okay, my lord, wait a minute, let's bring the guys with the whole team." ”
A moment later, more than two dozen soldiers rushed out with sledgehammers, ropes, shovels, buckets, basins, and things like mops, and carried large skin-like things on their backs, and rushed towards the camp gate. Fang Zi'an was a little puzzled by their equipment, they didn't even have a water wheel, and they didn't carry things like a water dragon in Fang Zi'an's imagination. However, at this moment, Fang Zi'an knew that he didn't have time to ask these questions, so he rushed out with them.
After a stick of incense, everyone ran to the locust tree alley three streets away. Sure enough, the alley
Smoke billowed from the room, a house caught fire, and many people watched from the sidelines, but they couldn't do anything.
"Let's let go, let's let go, the defense army has come to put out the fire. Let them all go. Li Dalong shouted loudly.
The crowd moved out of the way, allowing the guards to go to the burning house. Lei Hu was busy directing the soldiers to go to the nearby water source to fetch water, and after Li Dalong surveyed the fire, he believed that although the fire was not big, it was in danger of spreading and must be quickly extinguished. When everyone was busy, there was a gossip among the onlookers in the rear.
"It's over, the old Wang family is finished. I don't know if the fire can be saved or not, but the house must be cleaner than the fire. These defense troops are a group of robbers, where are they here to put out the fire. ”
"yes, you have to look at things. Otherwise, there will be nothing left. My third uncle's house on South Street caught fire last month, and the firefighting team was willing to save it when they asked for silver, but my third uncle gave them five taels of silver before they were willing to put out the fire. The fire was extinguished, but a few new robes from my third uncle's house were gone. Those are said to be burned, so how can it be? The fire didn't burn into the back house cupboard at all, how could it burn. They were all robbed by this gang of defense bandits. ”
"Hey, do these people still have a conscience? The fire was already very miserable, and it was even worse for the victims. I'm afraid that not all of these people are raised by animals. ”
“”
These people talked very loudly, and the soldiers of the defense army who were busy fighting the fire also listened to it, and the feelings in their hearts can be imagined. There was a tall soldier who couldn't help but want to theorize, but was scolded by Li Dalong.
Insert a sentence.,Source change artifact A is really good.,It's worth installing one.,Android and Apple phones support it!
"Don't worry about the gossip, we just put out the fire, and be worthy of our conscience. What we haven't done, what is the theory? The fire is like a life, 100,000 urgent, don't waste time. ”
A group of soldiers claimed to be the same, one by one carrying buckets of water and rushing to fight the fire, busy sweating profusely and covered in stains. After the fire was extinguished, water was sprayed with a rucksack and the last flames were extinguished with a long pole cloth. After half an hour of busy work, the fire was finally extinguished. All the soldiers of the defense army were covered with dirt and black ash one by one, embarrassed and tired. One soldier had a burn on his face, and Li Dalong took a homemade ointment and applied it to his face, which was considered a cure.
An old man came forward to thank him again and again, it was the people who started the fire. Lei Hu said loudly: "Uncle, don't thank you first, go check if there is anything missing in the family." Let's go back, don't say we took your things. We Yongjinmen's No. 3 Submarine Fire Team never do those things that don't have assholes. We can't control what others do, but we never do it. Go, we have to go back. ”
"No, no, the old man believes in you." The old man said repeatedly.
"What's the use of you believing it? Some people don't believe it, some people gossip. Let's go check on us and leave. Lei Hu said loudly.
Lei Hu was naturally angry in his heart, and he deliberately said it to the people around him.
The old man looked embarrassed and said, "Don't hide it, the old man has already asked his family to count it, and there is indeed nothing missing." Hey, I'm ashamed, the old man can't stand you. ”
The old man's words made people even more sad, it turned out that he was actually not at ease in his heart, and he had already counted his belongings. This shows the impression of the defense army in the minds of the people. Fang Zi'an saw all this in his eyes and sighed in his heart.
When the defense army withdrew, the people did not know whether it was out of apology, and they raised their big fingers to applaud and say goodbye. But even so, there was not the slightest smile on the faces of the soldiers. They put out the fire, but they were not happy at all, and they had no sense of accomplishment.
