Although most of the people in the entire Hou Mansion rushed to put out the fire, there were always one or two who were not active.

When Wang Ming led a few people out of the house carrying a large bag of things, it was inevitable that he would meet one or two people.

Some of these people had no intention of asking where Wang Ming was going.

However, what Wang Ming did was already at a loss, even if it was unstable, he couldn't help but defend himself with a few words.

"The eldest marquis told me to go to half a thing, why don't you go to put out the fire?"

Those people knew that Wang Ming could mix well in front of the master of the mansion, and he would not be an enemy of him, and when he was asked, most of them would find a reason to prevaricate.

As for asking him why he didn't go to fight the fire, Wang Ming would explain that the Zhang brothers had asked him to do something.

In the past, similar things happened from time to time, and the Zhang brothers would really hand over some things to him to do alone.

Therefore, no one doubted Wang Ming's explanation.

Besides, Zhang Heling's side, he personally took the servants in the house, basin after basin of water, and finally extinguished the fire.

An hour had passed since the fire had been extinguished.

The fire was extinguished, and there was smoke everywhere, and the brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling did not dislike the poor conditions inside, and the two abandoned the servants, not even their wives and children, so the two brothers went directly into the study burned by the fire.

No matter what kind of secrets are stored in the study, what is placed in the open will inevitably be the book.

Even if it is a book, how can it withstand the burning of a fire, after a fire, the whole study room is left except ashes.

Books and shelves, all those things were gone.

Zhang Heling entered the study and looked at this miserable situation, pretending to cry bitterly, shouting: "Books, how can they all be burned, it's so sad." ”

Zhang Yanling didn't care about Zhang Heling's crying, walked straight to a corner of the wall, stretched out his hand and gently pushed a square brick, and a wall next to it turned into a door and suddenly flipped open.

opened a door, Zhang Heling stopped crying, pulled Zhang Yanling and said, "Let's go, go in and take a look, and see that the things inside are safe." ”

Zhang Heling is in a hurry, and Zhang Yanling is more anxious than him.

The two brothers didn't need to urge each other, and entered the dark room as soon as possible.

This dark room is also simple, but it is just a layer hollowed out under the study, as long as you find the brick, push it, and a door will open.

On a normal day, it's not easy to find that brick.

The brick houses the bookshelf, and the bookshelf is full of brand-new books, and this bookshelf also has a mechanism, pick up one of them, press the mechanism, and the bookshelf will be transferred.

If you can't find this mechanism and only rely on manpower to move it, it will be extremely difficult for four strong men to move such a heavy bookshelf.

With two layers of organs, it is foolproof to protect important finances.

After walking a dozen steps, the two brothers arrived at the dark room.

The two of them did not dislike the darkness and dampness, nor were they afraid, so they felt the darkness and found a wooden box in the place where the wall was made of green bricks.

"Big brother, the wooden box is still there, and we haven't brought a torch, so we don't know if the contents are right."

Zhang Heling slapped Zhang Yanling's head on the head, and said angrily: "Don't mention the torch, a good study is burned like that, and now when I mention the fire, I want to hit someone, you can't wait to look at these things eight hundred times a day on weekdays, and you can't understand the smear." ”

People who are angry in their hearts should not take care of many people, and if they are not careful, they may suffer unjustified disasters.

Zhang Yanling knew that Zhang Heling was angry now, so he didn't dare to speak more, so he really touched it with his bare hands.

After a while, he looked embarrassed and replied: "Big brother, it's almost the same as what I usually see, but there is no light here, I really can't get these things right, or let's take them up and take a look, and after we understand it, it's not too late to send it down." ”

Zhang Heling disliked Zhang Yanling and couldn't figure it out, he tried it himself for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out.

When Zhang Yanling made this suggestion, Zhang Heling just ended in failure.

Regarding Zhang Yanling's suggestion, Zhang Heling was still blaming, and said: "Since you have thought of a way, why didn't you say it earlier." ”

Such a simple truth, should everyone be able to figure it out, and still use someone to say it in advance?

Of course, this is also what Zhang Yanling thinks in his heart, he really doesn't dare to reply to his eldest brother in person, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, if anyone dares to scold his father, it will be thunder and thunder.

Besides, his eldest brother is really good to him, he wants to give his eldest brother face and maintain the dignity that his eldest brother should have.

Zhang Yanling took the things and walked up.

Although Zhang Heling commanded Zhang Yanling to take a look, he would not stand idly by, and these things could only be relieved if he saw them in person.

The two brothers, holding the box, returned to the study from the dark room, and then the faint light began to check the belongings in the box one by one.

Silver tickets, the deed of several shops, the deed of several houses, and the deed of sale of the servants in the house...

After investigating everything in detail, Zhang Heling's originally bitter and hateful face finally showed a smile, and when he spoke to Zhang Yanling, he was also a lot more amiable, and said gently: "Well, if it's right, then put this thing back, this fire is too dangerous, if it is extinguished later, it will really have to burn." ”

Zhang Heling was getting better, but Zhang Yanling still didn't dare to relax, picked up the box, and replied: "Then big brother, I'll put this box back." ”

Zhang Yanling was about to leave, but Zhang Heling said again outside: "Don't worry, take a torch and go down, the black goo in the middle of winter is injured carefully." ”

Zhang Yanling was still decent, and responded steadily: "Big brother, this is the net worth of my two brothers, I will put this thing back immediately, and I won't take the torch, and I finally put out the fire, so I have to be careful." ”

That being said, when it went down, it was Zhang Heling who held the torch and the two brothers put things back together.

After putting it back, Zhang Heling said: "The last time there was a fire in the clouds, Xie Zhi found out the cause of the fire, the study remains the same here, tomorrow I will find Xie Zhi to check the cause of the fire, if it is not man-made, then everything is easy to say, this study, we have always been more strict in our minds, how did it start a fire, I always feel that this fire is a little unusual." ”

Having just experienced this fire, it is normal to have some paranoia of victimization.

Not only Zhang Heling also thought this way, but Zhang Yanling also thought the same, and echoed: "Yes, big brother, I also feel this way." ”

When the two brothers finished talking, Zhang Heling didn't say much, walked out of the study, and looked for the people who had waited by the door to save the fire: "Wang Ming..."

After shouting, Zhang Yanling whispered on the side: "Big brother, Wang Ming is looking at the copper coins in the bedroom!" ”

At this time, Zhang Heling also remembered.

In front of so many people, it is really not appropriate to say much, Zhang Heling changed the topic instead, and said: "Wang Ming is loyal to Ben Hou, the house is on fire, he was the first to find out and wake up Ben Hou, if it weren't for his cleverness, Ben Hou is still asleep, if it wasn't for Ben Hou personally commanding the firefighting, how could he put out the fire so quickly, to speak, although Wang Ming personally participated in the firefighting, but he made great contributions, Ben Hou wants to reward Wang Ming for his good life, and you also have to learn from Wang Ming's good life." ”

After Zhang Heling gave a lecture, he ordered: "This fire burned for no reason, there must be something strange, leaving two people to guard this study, and no one is allowed to enter." ”

After Zhang Heling instructed, there would be someone to be on duty arranged by the housekeeper in the house, and he didn't need to worry about it, so he took Zhang Yanling directly back to the bedroom and went back to sleep.

The Zhang brothers have the identity of royal relatives and nobles, they don't have to worry about national affairs, they will have fine clothes and food, so they don't care what time it is, since they are tired, they fall asleep, and no one dares to care even if they sleep for a few days.

"Big brother, after tossing these few hours tonight, I'm not in a hurry to find Xie Zhi, he still wants to go to the early dynasty anyway, and after the early dynasty, we will go directly to find him, if he refuses to help, then we will go directly to His Highness, if His Highness speaks, he will definitely help, why didn't he think of this good way before, doing so would make Xie Zhi eat to death."
