Chapter 1224: A Strange Fire
Fang Jun couldn't understand it.
Is it my Hitler-like demagogic potential that has never been tapped, or have the IQs of these two sticks long since fallen below sea level?
He actually talked nonsense and let me go......
Fang Jun stood up, rubbed his wrist that was tied by the rope, thought about it, and said, "I can't go!" β
The two Goguryeo warriors glared at each other and said angrily, "Don't go? That eldest grandson Chong has long hated you to the bone, and he set up this bureau to let you know that you have to die, do you think he can let you go? β
"That's it, we'd rather be deceived by you than risk destroying the big thing to kill you, why don't you know what to do, but don't leave?"
Fang Jun spread his hands and said helplessly: "What can I do?" His Majesty the Emperor has ordered that if His Royal Highness Princess Changle cannot be brought back intact, the Emperor will kill a certain family and put a certain Ling Chi to death...... Therefore, why don't you help and rescue Her Royal Highness Princess Changle together? β
The two Goguryeo warriors looked at each other.
In particular, they all say that the Han people are treacherous, and today they have not only seen it, but also seen another ability of the Han people......
What is this skin long, and why is it so thick?
It would be okay if Fang Jun was let go, after all, Changsun Chong couldn't do anything about them, but he helped Fang Jun rescue Princess Changle...... That's a dilemma.
*****
The entire city of Chang'an was sleepless all night.
The fire in Dongshi burned fiercely, reflecting half of the sky red, burning people's hearts in panic and hustle. Anyone who has an industry in the East City, whether they are affected by this sudden fire or not, is all at home and scolds Fang Jun!
The reason why the family gate lords compromised with the emperor at the time of the three divisions was that the evidence was indeed insufficient to convict Fang Jun, and the other was that they hoped that Fang Jun would quickly return to Jingzhao Mansion to preside over the overall situation and organize firefighting, after all, no one in Jingzhao Mansion could play except Fang Jun, and the most important thing was that even if Fang Jun was released, he was already responsible for the fire as Jing Zhaoyin.
But who would have thought that Fang Jun would be so single?
He sealed off the entire East Market, only to ensure that the fire would not hurt people's lives, and disdained those valuable stores that were swept away by the flames and burned down, and never said anything about fighting the fire. A number of families affected by the fire went to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for an explanation and urged them to put out the fire quickly, but they were all told that the current government soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion were chasing down the murderers who had kidnapped Princess Changle, and they were really short of manpower and powerless to fight the fire.
Well, the reason is powerful......
Even if the family gate valve is full of resentment, it is helpless.
No matter how much the value of the goods is and how big the loss is, can it compare to the life and safety of Her Royal Highness Princess Changle? Even if you think so in your heart, you will never dare to say it. No matter how hot the fight between the Guanlong Group and the Jiangnan Shi clan is in private, or even how the Shandong family fights with the emperor, at least they must maintain enough respect for the emperor on the bright side.
You Jingzhao Mansion doesn't have manpower, we can understand it, after all, the safety of Her Royal Highness the Princess is the top priority. So let's organize our own manpower to fight the fire, right?
However, when the fire brigades organized by various families arrived in the East Market, they found that several entrances and exits in the East Market were blocked, and no one was allowed to enter or leave without permission......
The family gate valve is angry!
If the fire is monstrous, you Jingzhao Mansion will just turn a blind eye, and we can't put out the fire ourselves?
The reply given by Jingzhao Mansion is even more absolute - and the value of the goods must be more important. For the sake of the personal safety of all households, Jingzhao Mansion will never allow amateurs who have not been trained in firefighting to enter the fire scene......
This time, the servants of each family were secretly having fun.
In these years, firefighting is not a simple matter, there are no fire trucks, no high-pressure water guns, and no fire prevention equipment, so you can only rely on manpower to carry buckets to water the fire one by one, which is too dangerous.
A fire of this magnitude cannot be extinguished without a dozen or twenty lives......
The heads of the family are high, and these servants have to go to the soup and fire, and now there is Jingzhao Mansion in front of them, and it is simply Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering......
The big man of the family gate valve is completely helpless.
I could only look at the flames that rose to the sky with tears in my eyes, and the value of my own goods was swept away by the raging fire, burned to the ground, and turned into ashes......
The resentment against Fang Jun in his heart is simply poured out, and the water of the three rivers is difficult to extinguish!
Jingzhao Mansion is indeed no one to play except Fang Jun, as soon as Fang Jun comes back, he covers the sky with one hand, he said that he is not allowed to put out the fire, then no one is allowed to save it......
The psychology of hating the rich will exist in any era, and as long as there is a distinction between classes and between the rich and the poor, it will never disappear.
Compared with the family's door valve sighing like a drop of blood, ordinary people are happy to see it......
In the dark of night, the night breeze blows the flames.
The fire borrows the wind, the wind fuels the fire, and between the shops, countless goods are swept by the flames!
The people suppressed the excitement in their hearts, and shouted in their hearts: Burn! Burn all these rich and unkind families, and burn all the value of these goods that oppress the poor people!
Burn it, let the fire come harder!
The raging fires seemed to hear the power of fury, the call of enthusiasm and the confidence of victory, and they jumped and danced with joy, they laughed, and they were convinced that darkness could not cover the flames, yes, not the flames!
The flames leaped like madness, sweeping everything in front of them and burning into their own abyss!
Linghu family, Linghu Dedi stood by the window, looking at the fire in the distance that reflected the red sky, an old face full of pain and anger!
Fang Jun is hateful!
In this fire in the East Market, the heaviest loss is that they made the fox family, not only several shops and mansions were burned clean, but also the value of the goods stored by other merchants was also burned. His own losses can still be beared, but the loss that is about to be paid to other families simply makes Linghu Dedi feel that he is cutting the meat of his heart!
That's not only the value of the burned goods, but also the associated and several losses paid to other merchants for breaking the contract, which is simply an astronomical amount!
The fox family has accumulated for more than ten generations, so that it has today's solid family foundation and prominent status, is it going to be burned clean by this fire?
When you wait until a hundred years later, what face will you have to face the ancestors and ancestors underground?
How will future generations view their ancestors, who single-handedly ruined their family heritage?
I'm afraid it's not a New Year's holiday, and no one even puts two catties of pig's head meat on the table......
Footsteps behind him.
Linghusuo's voice sounded: "The miscellaneous servants over there in the East City Mansion have fled back in the chaos. β
Ling Hu Dedi's expression froze, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" β
Since the fire ignited, the East City side has been blocked by the Jingzhao Mansion, outsiders are not allowed to enter, and the people inside who want to escape are all controlled, so far the city can only see the East City Fire raging into the sky, but the situation is unknown.
"The child has brought him." Linghu Suo turned and beckoned to the door.
A person walked in quickly, and knelt down on the ground with a "poof" in front of Linghu Dedi, his forehead "banged" on the ground, and blood burst out in a few moments, and he screamed sadly: "The head of the family, the small one is worthy of your trust and reuse, and you will not atone for your sin if you die......"
Linghu Dedi recognized that this person was a steward on the side of the Dongshi Mansion, and he was anxious in his heart, but seeing this person's behavior made him even more anxious, and he immediately flew up and kicked this person to the ground, and said angrily: "If you have something to say, compared with the value of the goods in the mansion, what is your dog's fate?" β
"Yes yes yes ......"
The steward quickly turned over and got up, wiped a handful of blood stains on his forehead, and said quickly: "The fire is burning very fast, and the little one is sleeping soundly, and when he is woken up by the man, the fire is already overwhelming, and there is no way to save it!" The value of the goods in several houses was burned down, the shops were burned to the ground, and even the houses collapsed......"
Ancient houses were all wooden structures, and they were most afraid of fire, and when the fire burned off the beams, the whole house would collapse, knocking down the surrounding walls, and turning into a piece of ruin......
The muscles on Ling Hu Dedi's face twitched violently, his eyes were pitch black, his body shook, and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Linghu Keyeye next to him was quick and held Linghu Dedi's arm, which did not let him fall to the ground. It's just that Ling Hu Dedi's subconsciously raised hand accidentally hit Ling Hu Suo's face, and it hurt so much that Ling Hu Suo's tears were about to stay.
He was beaten by Princess Gaoyang with a mouthful of teeth, and there were not a few left, he couldn't even eat food and could only drink soup, and his teeth were touched, and his heart hurt!
Although he had made preparations for being bad, when he heard that the situation was worse than he imagined, he still felt that he couldn't accept it.
There was only one thought in his mind at this timeβhow did this fire burn?
How did the fire spread uncontrollably and quickly swept through more than a dozen shops as soon as it was discovered?
The most important thing is ......
Why did my own house become the hardest hit area?
