Tonight, under the inky night, more than a dozen figures shuttled quickly through Kyoto City.

In a short time, some places were filled with flames, illuminating the night, causing the people living in the vicinity to panic and fear that their homes would burn to their homes, so they shouted and screamed, hoping to attract people to help put out the fire.

In the midst of the chaos, some places were stolen.

This also makes the city of Kyoto lively on this night.

Kyoto Prefecture Yoonzen-sama was woken up in the middle of the night, got up in a hurry, and quickly rushed to the prefectural council to discuss the matter.

At this time, Lord Zeng was sitting in the lobby, and every once in a while, an official came in to report where the fire was on.

When he learned that the shop run by the candidate for the president of the Chamber of Commerce was all on fire, Lord Zeng's temples jumped suddenly, who was looking for something for him to do, don't let him find out!

As time went on, he gave one order after another.

His heart was full of anger, grinding the back sockets, eager to throw the culprit into the oil pan and fry it.

At this time, the master hurriedly entered the door and replied: "My lord, the fire is in the west and south of the city, and our people can only take care of one place, what should we do next?" ”

When Master Zeng heard this, he frowned, thought for a long time, never thought of a good idea, and said, "Sir, master, can you think of a good way?" ”

The staff shook their heads slightly.

The master bowed his hand and said, "My lord, can you send someone outside the city to ask for city guards?" ”

The staff listened to it, this law is not allowed, the city guards are the protection of Gongzhi Kyoto City, if they are allowed to enter the city at this time, it is likely to be considered a rebellion.

The staff disagreed: "No, this is past the curfew, and if you open the city gate again, there will be trouble." ”

Seeing that the staff were timid and afraid, he said, "Mr. Lin, this Kyoto City has been in turmoil, and if it is not handled well, the adults will also be implicated." ”

Seeing that the master was arguing, the staff was quite helpless, and patiently explained: "Now that it is the time of the son, let the city guards enter the city in the middle of the night, the one in the palace is likely to suspect that someone is rebelling, and when the time comes, send the forbidden army to suppress it, who will be responsible for the consequences at that time?" ”

"You can't put out the fire and let it burn to the ground.

There is also the thief, if they don't send someone to search for them at this time, as soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, they will definitely take this opportunity to escape. ”

“……”

Lord Zeng looked at the dark night outside, regretting in her heart that she didn't listen to Zhong Xuanlan's words, she was afraid that she had received the news earlier, but he was busy with other things at the time, so he didn't listen to it, and now it is too late to regret it.

Master Zeng sighed and said, "Okay."

Master, you go and arrange for the people patrolling the city and the officials in the government to put out the fire.

If there are not enough people, ask the people living nearby to help.

As for the rest, we'll talk about it tomorrow. ”

"Yes."

Lord Zeng sat in the mansion and waited until the sky was slightly white, and the fire was extinguished, but the excitement was not over.

He was blocked at the entrance of the yamen, unable to go up to the court to report last night's incident, so he could only appease the people first.

The ensuing news has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner in teahouses, restaurants and other places.

At this time, a restaurant gathered many guests, and they gathered in groups to discuss last night's incident.

Customer A sighed loudly: "Is this Kyoto City a collision, last night there were several places in the west and north of the city on fire, and they can't be extinguished." ”

Customer B asks curiously, "How do you know so clearly?" ”

Customer A said proudly: "It wasn't last night, Lao Tzu and I also participated in a firefighting operation." ”

Customer B suddenly thought of something, slapped the table, and said, "Oops! I forgot you were the one who patrolled last night. Dude, do you know where the fire is? ”

Customer A looked calm and said in a light tone: "Oh, it's the fifteen shops that participated in the president election were burned to the ground. ”

Customer B slapped the table hard and said angrily, "Who did this, it's a shame."

The proprietors of those fifteen shops have been doing good to the people for more than ten years.

Such a good shop was actually burned by fire, damn it, if Lao Tzu knew who did it, Lao Tzu would burn down his home.

By the way, brother, I heard that not only was there a fire last night, but there were also several shops that recruited thieves, is this true? ”

Customer A nodded and said, "Well, early this morning, someone came to complain to Lord Zeng, asking Lord Zeng to arrest the arson thief and the thief.

Now there are a lot of onlookers in the Yin Yamen of Kyoto Prefecture, and you can definitely see the excitement if you go now. ”

“……”

Three tables away from the two sat two handsome and dashing sons, having breakfast.

When the two heard this, their expressions were different.

One of them curled his lips and smiled, his eyes full of interest.

One listened, put down his chopsticks, and fell into deep thought. He was a little curious about who did this, looked up at the handsome boy opposite, and asked, "What does Lan'er think about what happened last night?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said with a smile: "It's okay to burn it clean, those fifteen people can pay for the construction of a new one, which saves the Chamber of Commerce a lot of money." ”

Wang Xuannian's black line fell straight down: Is this worth gloating? He asked, "Then do you know who did it?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan's eyes were full of interest, and he curled the corners of his lips and said, "If you want to say that there are many people who set fires and steal." ”

Wang Xuannian saw her smiling like a fox, her heart was shocked, her eyelids jumped, she wouldn't have a share!

Early this morning, he got the news that He San's family has two rooms, and He San's brother is an honest dealer who treats people kindly, but his parents are partial to He San, and often take the things of the big house to help He San.

And He San is a thief and a slippery man, his wife is a scoundrel, and no one in the village wants to see his family.

So he sent He San to prison, and his parents and his room kicked out of Zhuangzi, and told the head of the village not to let them enter Zhuangzi again, but left the big house and the family.

After disposing of He San's family, they rushed back to the city, Zhong Xuanlan said, he will go home in a few days, so he and he came to this restaurant for breakfast, as for where Yang'er and He Li went, he didn't know.

Gathering his thoughts, Wang Xuannian asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

"South of the city."

Zhong Xuanlan instructed the guys who were passing by their table again: "Man, I want a pack of cloud cake and a bag of red date cake to take away." ”

"Okay, Childe, wait a minute." The man went to the kitchen.

Wang Xuannian asked, "Don't you have to deal with this matter?" ”

"No, this shop is a problem in their hands, and they should deal with it.

Okay, Xiaofujun, don't think about it if this matter is not in our hands, hurry up and eat, don't let Yang'er and them wait in a hurry. ”

Wang Xuannian nodded.

After the meal, the two left.
