In front of Xu's house.

There were already a dozen charred corpses, lying across the ground.

The smell of barbecue fills the air.

Now, there are still dozens of Xu Mansion subordinates and maids, constantly picking chestnuts from the fire, enduring the scorching fire of their skin and flesh, and vigorously moving the wooden cabinets that have been burned through by the fire.

After half an hour, more than 20 people were paid.

Everyone's faces were burned and cracked, and the barriers in front of the gate were finally cleared.

It's just that a few red-hot thick iron bars are still deeply fastened to the gate.

This is a protective measure deliberately added by Xu Liu's family in order to prevent the people from breaking the door.

Now that the iron bars have been deformed by heat, destroying the original structure, the gate is now impossible to open.

This means that the few dozen remaining subordinates of the Xu family will all die when the vestibule of the Xu Mansion collapses.

At this time, everyone saw such a desperate situation, and they had lost their will to survive, and now they turned to crying bitterly.

Although the tears would soon dry, everyone was still crying bitterly.

Will there still be hope?

Nobody knows.

..

At this time, the sky-high fire still illuminated the entire Huating County as if it were day.

When the surrounding people saw this situation, they also got up at night and went to Xufu to check the situation.

There were more and more onlookers, and everyone heard the cries coming from the Xu Mansion.

Everyone couldn't bear it, and someone suggested at this time.

"Everyone, although this master of the Xu family has done a lot of evil, these subordinates are innocent."

"How can you bear to see a living person burned to death in front of you."

"Let's take a hand and knock open the gate of Xu's mansion from outside the door of Xu's mansion and rescue all the people inside."

"What do you think?"

As soon as the proposer's voice fell, he won a chorus of approval.

Not far away, someone brought over a thick wooden stake, just enough to act as a battering ram.

More than twenty young men lifted the thick log and began to bang on the door of the Xu family.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

..

Inside the Xufu Gate.

Just as the people under the Xu Mansion hugged their heads and cried, a few dull crashing sounds attracted everyone's attention.

The gate of the Xu Mansion was shaking, and someone outside the door was banging on the gate of the Xu Mansion.

At this time, the people of the Xu Mansion had never looked forward to the door of the Xu Mansion being breached.

If the gate of the Xu Mansion is opened within half an hour, those of them who were abandoned by the Xu Liu clan will still have a way to live.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

One by one, like a heartbeat, it gave the people of the Xu Mansion inside the door a chance to live.

On the gate of Xu's mansion, the iron bars that had been burned by the fire had become soft and were gradually about to break.

The knock on the door outside was still fruitful, and in the sound of the impact, a few iron bars had already been broken.

It won't be long before it's time to break down.

..

The secret passage of the Xu Mansion is not long.

Xu Liu's family came out of a dilapidated inn in Huating County.

Several of them were disgraced, as if they had just rolled in the mud.

Xu Liushi: "I almost couldn't escape." ”

"This fire is inexplicable, who set this fire."

At this time, Liu Yuan couldn't help but interject.

"Could it be these Diao people, these Diao people besieged us a day ago."

"Let's set a fire at night while we're not prepared."

Liu Yuan said viciously, but it made Xu Liushi frown.

"Not necessarily, these Diao people may not dare to burn the Xu Mansion, there must be someone behind them who is obstructing it."

"We still have a house in Xu's house, let's go to that small house to live in first, and then discuss."

"This time we are very badly damaged, and I am afraid it will take ten years to recover."

"However, we still have the most important textile factory that we have not lost, and we can't lose everything."

"Wait until my eldest son Xu Huai comes back from Ningguo Mansion in a few days, and then we will make plans."

After Xu Liushi finished sighing, he hurriedly took a few people into the carriage and went to another small house of the Xu family in Huating County.

..

Boom!

The gate collapsed, and the main gate of the Xu Mansion opened a spacious passage.

The subordinates of the Xu Mansion couldn't help but cry with joy when they saw the escape gate being opened, but this time they were finally rescued.

More than forty people rushed out and stayed away from this hell full of fire.

..

Xu Yuan.

Xu Yi watched the situation of the fire in the Xu Mansion from the tower, and at this time, most of the Xu family had fallen into a sea of fire.

Despite this, the people around the Xu family are also trying their best to help the Xu family extinguish the fire.

On the one hand, I hope that the Xu family will put out the fire as soon as possible, and on the other hand, I hope that the fire will not burn to their own home.

Lao Bai: "Since you have burned the Xu family, why do you still send a log to the gate of the Xu family." ”

"If you let Xu Liu's run away from the gate, won't it be a failure?"

Lao Bai's question made Xu Yi's eyebrows wrinkle slightly.

Xu Yi: "Do you think I'm showing kindness?" ”

"Do you think I'm deliberately saving the Xu family?"

Xu Yi frowned and said indifferently.

"Three-quarters of the fire has already burned, Xu Liu's clan will definitely take the opportunity to escape, and it is useless for these subordinates to die again."

"It's just that if these Xu Mansion people escape, they will have other roles."

"The Xu Liu clan abandoned the people of the Xu Mansion and escaped alone, allowing the people of the Xu Mansion to die in the fire."

"And the people around him, the duke is selfless, and he helped the people of the Xu Mansion to escape."

"In this way, let the "Songjiang Mansion Times" report it tomorrow, what do you think the people will think of the Xu family?"

"Tomorrow, publish Xu Yuncai's letter of apology and detonate this incident again."

..

Capital.

A certain palace.

"This story is good-looking, is there still this "Songjiang Mansion Times"? Bring them all to me. ”

"Without Your Majesty, this was all ten days ago. has used the special channel of Jinyiwei to expedite the delivery from Jinling to the capital. ”

"Then I can only watch it tomorrow?"

"Your Majesty, this Jinling and Jingshi are more than 2,400 miles away, and after listening to the news of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, three horses have already died, and they really can't be faster."

Hearing this, "Your Majesty" threw the "Songjiang Prefecture Times" in his hand to the side and leaned back on the short couch.

"Lu Fang, although the novel in this "Songjiang Mansion Times" is good, what if the newspaper news fabricates facts and spreads rumors?"

Hearing this, Lu Fang's brows also furrowed, and he said slowly.

"This newspaper is said to be run by the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture."

"According to the news sent by Jinling, Li Jingmao, the governor of Songjiang Prefecture, is very promising, and has created a medical care system in Songjiang Prefecture, which can provide free medical treatment to the people, which makes the people very satisfied."

Also, Li Jingmao also set up a school so that children from poor families can study for free. Ordinary people can go to school by paying some money, which can be described as a kind heart. ”

"Although this Li Jingmao had a bad reputation before, but as the prefect, he has indeed made some merits, Jinling has rewarded Li Jingmao many times, it seems that this Li Jingmao is a little capable."

After listening to Lu Fang's words, "Your Majesty" nodded, indicating that what Lu Fang said was quite pertinent.

"Then let the cabinet draw up a commendation order and send it to Jinling to encourage this Li Jingmao to make persistent efforts."

"Secondly, except for Songjiang Prefecture, this newspaper cannot be published independently for the time being."

"Give the order, I'm tired."
