Zhao Xing said affectionately to the brothers who were directly around: "Live and die together in the middle of the night, I don't know what your brothers are called, come on, generals, report your own name, and everyone can call each other." ”

The first time they were called generals, everyone was immediately full of pride. The first one to come over was the guy head. This guy is tall and strong, he is a good billet for being a soldier, and he came to Zhao Xing and said innocently: "I, a native of Shandong, Wang Dazhuang, contract the kitchen and work hard." ”

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "From the moment you rushed out of the restaurant, you are not the back kitchen, but the general." ”

Wang Dazhuang smiled innocently, but there was not much smugness.

"I, Zhao Gezhuang in the south of the city, Zhao Xiaoqi."

"I'm a neighbor with you, Li Zhuzi."

"I have a neighborhood with Zhao Xiaoqi, Li Dongpi, and the fire calls me Li Dongfart."

"Baoding Zhou Yongqiang."

"Hejian Zhao Liang."

"Wang Huo in the east of the city, this is my younger brother Wang Shui."

"The little orphan, no name or surname, followed by the owner's surname Gao, Gao Guangsheng, and the owner took it."

"Dog leftover, surnamed Zhang."

The little fat man laughed: "My general is called Gou Yu, and the one who didn't come has fallen into my name, from now on, it's called Quansheng." ”

Zhang Gouyu immediately solemnly gave a salute to the little fat man: "Thank you for the name, from now on, I will be called Zhang Quansheng, the family general of the prince." ”

"Brothers, who can write?" The little fat man asked.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and in the end, Li Dongpi stood up and whispered, and said confidently: "I have read the three-character scripture and the surnames of hundreds of families, does it count." ”

Gao Guangsheng also stood up and said: "Because the owner has no children, he has always treated the small one as a righteous son, so he also taught the small one to settle accounts and keep accounts." ”

The little fat man waved his hand at that time: "Okay, in the future, my daily five taels of silver will be in charge of Li Dongpi, Gao Guangsheng will keep accounts, and we will only be responsible for spending." ”

At that time, everyone was envious, a day, five taels, a month is one hundred and fifty taels, it is everyone's flowers, all the people are extremely moved, which shows that the son of the world really thinks that these people are brothers.

Since then, the ten tigers around these little fat men of Zhao Xing have been formed, accompanying the two of them through all the ups and downs of the late Ming Dynasty and being loyal.

"This first expense is to hold a beautiful funeral for the two brothers who died tomorrow, we can't be happy and forget about the dead." Zhao Xing suggested in a sad tone.

The scene that was still very joyful just now immediately became depressing, after all, they were fellow men who got along day and night, how could they not make people sad when they sacrificed for themselves?

As a result, there was just silence here, and suddenly everyone felt a fiery red on the window paper, followed by someone shouting: "Go water, go water." Then there was chaos shouting on the streets outside the house.

Zhao Xing was shocked, opened the door and rushed out, stood on the doorstep, looked up, and saw a fire rising in the residential area in the east of the house, and the smoke and fire lit up the cold winter night like day, standing here, everyone could feel the heat of the flames.

Zhao Xing's heart sank, and he ordered the little fat man: "Hurry up and inform your sister to strengthen your guard." The little fat man agreed, and rushed directly to his sister's yard.

Zhao Xing instructed the ten brothers behind him: "Hurry up and call Guo Guangsheng's grandson and Gao Sheng's father and daughter, and let's go to my mother's yard."

Everyone didn't know why Zhao Xing was nervous, but here, everyone had unconsciously regarded Zhao Xing as their leader. After receiving the order, he immediately shouted yes in a loud voice like the army, turned around and went into the inner room, and called Guo Guangsheng and Gao Sheng.

Although Guo Guangsheng is old, but so many things have happened, he still has palpitations and has not fallen asleep, and Gao Sheng is also worried about the unpredictable fortune and misfortune of his restaurant, there was a mess outside, and the two of them immediately pulled up their granddaughter and daughter who were lying in their clothes, and nervously came out to inquire about the situation.

Wang Dazhuang said in a sullen voice: "Lord Zhao ordered, hurry up and go to his mother's yard to hide." ”

Now is the time when everyone has no master, and they all unconsciously take Zhao Xing as the backbone, and everyone doesn't care about anything else, and follows Zhao Xing to trot towards Zhao Xingniang's yard.

When Zhao Xing passed by the middle hall, he saw the neatly dressed Guogong, who was standing on the high steps of the middle hall and looking at the fire in the east.

Zhao Xing instructed Wang Dazhuang in a low voice: "Bring people over, take your brothers to be on strict guard, don't be sloppy, I'll come when I go." ”

Wang Dazhuang agreed, and continued to run forward with a group of people, Zhao Xing broke away from the team and walked in front of Guogong to salute: "See Guogong." ”

The British Duke stood on the high steps with his hands behind his back, looked at Zhao Xing and his group of people, and praised him in a low voice: "It's quite alert, come up and speak." ”

Zhao Xing hesitated for a moment, then walked up the steps, stopped at the bottom of the two levels, and said to the British fair: "It's not a little too nervous, it's really the weirdness of this fire." ”

"What's the weird way?" Guogong asked rhetorically with an expressionless face.

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and replied: "This time the chase and killing, the whole street should be alarmed, but the soldiers and horses of the five cities who are responsible for guarding the capital, curfew and public security are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and the Jinyi Wei Qianhu in the south city has not moved at all, and the strangeness of this can be imagined." As soon as we were sheltered by the Guogong and entered the Guogong Mansion, a fire broke out in the east, and the fire did not grow from small to large as normal, but it burned at once, so according to the bottom of the view, this was deliberate. ”

The British Gong nodded approvingly: "Sure enough, he is worthy of being born in Jinyiwei, and his thinking is extraordinary." Then he asked with interest: "Then what do you think we should do?" ”

Zhao Xing hurriedly suggested: "Immediately organize the servants in the courtyard and go all out to be on guard." ”

The British Duke asked lightly: "Who are you guarded against?" ”

Zhao Xing opened his mouth.

The British duke said decisively: "Don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, said." ”

Zhao Xing said word by word: "Five Cities Soldiers and Horses." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were bursts of emergency bells on the street, this is the fire extinguishing team hose car in charge of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, the special bell sound of warning to open the road, listen to the sound, at least ten fire dragon cars are coming.

The British Duke sneered: "On weekdays, there is no movement when the fire is extinguished, the purpose is not to work hard, and to charge fees, but now I am diligent." ”

The little fat man craned his neck and looked out and muttered: "It's not that this is a place where nobles gather, especially next to our British mansion, this group of guys is in a hurry." ”

The British Duke glanced at him sideways, and scolded him hatefully: "Shut up." ”

The little fat man stiffened his neck: "Am I wrong?" ”

Just when he was about to argue, the sound of the bell had passed, but suddenly a few water dragons were raised from outside the wall and sprayed directly into the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion. ”

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, followed by a few torches thrown in, and with a bang, the entire front yard of the Guogong Mansion immediately burned into a sea of fire.

All the people exclaimed loudly. They really didn't expect that someone would dare to burn down the Guogong Mansion, this is no longer a secret poisoner, this is already an open fire war.
