Those grievances in Xue Liu's heart, how could Lord Chen not understand? Even he knew in his heart that the firefighting method adopted by Xue Liu was really not a problem at all; But now that the east gate of this county is on fire, in addition to those Heavenly God Sect believers who are bowing their heads and silent, futile and busy, there are also many people in this county who are 'watching the scenery from the other side'!

Because Julu County is a small place, the types of 'leisure activities' of the common people are extremely scarce; in addition, the local folk customs have been quite simple for many years, and there are at most a few idlers and hooligans who steal chickens and dogs and eat without giving money on weekdays. What's the point of this kind of short and trivial case in the parents? But those gangsters who have really killed people, set fires, and committed the crime of killing their heads are not without Julu County, but they have never been caught in this county! And when the sentence was pronounced and beheaded, it was either at the boundary of the crime, or it was escorted back to Yanjing City for surgery. So in the past 100 years, the people of Julu County have seen only a handful of killings! The only few actual cases still rely on the 'wonderful recollection' retained by the oral tradition of the older generation!

Therefore, in the fire that broke out tonight, in addition to the rich people who were affected, all of them dragged their families and ran out to escape the disaster wrapped in quilts, but also the poor people who had just struggled to get up from their sleep, put on a piece of clothing haphazardly, and called their friends to come out to see the excitement.

These people may be good at cooking and making fires, but how can they have any experience in fire? In their eyes, the dozens of old men who eat public meals at the root of the wall are all 'golden nobles' who have a bad past! Under the leadership of Xue Zhutou, they all leaned on the distance, watching the excitement while knocking melon seeds, eager to be '108,000 miles away' from the fire, for fear of burning a small hole in their official uniforms;

It is said that this dog beating also depends on the owner; So these 'dozens of dogs' are not well taught, are they all blamed on the incompetence of their owners?

Lying can't hide being a villager, this 'Chen Youlang' was protected by Lord Feng, and only after the silver was entrusted with the relationship did he get an errand in Qipinzhi County; outsiders may not know about this, but at least in the ten miles and eight townships around Julu County, which villager has not talked about him behind his back? Although it is a 'treasure', if the two sides are too familiar, there is no way to talk about majesty. Therefore, the evaluation of the people's voice in Julu County has not been very good.

Because this sugar cane is not sweet at both ends! No matter who has a dispute with whom, how he Chen judges the case, he will definitely offend the villager who lost the lawsuit; And the person who won the lawsuit also thinks that he is righteous and should be divided, and he will not read half of the benefits of Chen Zhixian.

But as long as there is any 'bad thing' in the county, the responsibility will all be put on this 'county parent official'! Often there is an unsatisfactory thing in the neighborhood, and after getting together and making friends, in the end, the 'bottom words' responsible for the end have to fall on him Lord Chen:

"Hey, who made our lord of Julu County a 'Youlang Zhi County'? beat other people's grandfathers' generations and started to do business, can they still lose themselves? And his official body is still donated with silver, if people don't have enough books, what can they do to honor the 'above' masters? ”

Therefore, Master Chen has a beautiful vision of benefiting the township, but he is only thinking about it. The entire Julu County, from top to bottom, didn't have a good impression of him.

Therefore, this flickering distance and nearness, flickering cold and hot, is not only the way of men and women, but also the way of officials and royal subordinates.

In addition, today's 'Seat Master' Lord Feng's mansion lost a fire, and he, Chen Zhixian, had received such a great favor from the Feng family; Although he also sent some soldiers, he didn't even step forward and put a hand on it! If there is no acquiescence from Lord Chen in this matter, can those dog slaves who 'run rampant in the countryside all day long, bullying men and women' have such courage?

Although there are not many literate people among the poor people, they have all heard the gentlemen's mouths talk about 'loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness', and even more heard what it means to be 'a teacher for one day and a father for life';

As for the truth of the matter...... Who cares if you Xue Liu's 'stand by', did you really get Lord Chen's order? Who cares about the servants and gangsters under you who 'oppressed the people and ran rampant in the township', and the ruffians and hooligans who were originally in the county? Anyway, it sounds enjoyable to say this, and it's similar to the 'dark story' I've heard, so let's talk about it first!

Anyway, 'staring and talking nonsense' is not controlled by the king's law, and who can say that my 'guess' is wrong?

It is precisely because he knows the reason that 'people's words are terrible', so even if it is a futile and wasteful way to fight fires by drawing water from the well, Chen Zhixian has to grit his back molars and perform for the onlookers. In fact, he already knew it in his heart: judging from the current fire, even if his master Feng Qiling was the reincarnation of 'Shuide Xingjun', he would definitely not be able to escape a life......

Just when Chen Zhixian was bare and poured buckets of water into the fire, Xue Liu, who was still at a loss, suddenly took two steps forward, grabbed Lord Chen's arm, and opened his mouth to him in panic...... This person, once he falls into the situation of 'numbing machinery', the ability to feel in other aspects of his body will definitely be greatly weakened, coupled with the gossip of the onlookers, the sound of collapse and burning that broke out in the fire, all of them poured into Lord Chen's ears along the howling north wind, so he can only see the horror in Xue Liu's eyes and the trembling lips now; As for what he was shouting, Lord Chen couldn't even hear a word......

Xue Liu looked at Lord Chen, whose face was blackened, a blank look flashed in his eyes, and he immediately tugged at his shirtless arm roughly, raised his hand and pointed to the sky in the middle of the county seat......

I saw that the direction that Xue Liu was pointing in was also dyed with a touch of orange at this time...... It's like the sunset that hasn't yet set, echoing the symphony of the fire at the East City Gate......

Lord Chen didn't know what to shout in a hoarse voice, and then he waved his hand and stumbled in the direction of the county office; Even if Xue Liu is stupid, he understands it now, he also turned his head and beckoned to the fifty or so officials under him, bent down and picked up a pickaxe on the ground, carried two empty buckets, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the county government...... It's a pity that because Xue Liu ran too quickly, he didn't have time to pay attention at all, and there were a few yacha behind him who responded to his call......

When the two disappeared in front of the gate of Feng's mansion, a middle-aged white-faced man suddenly came out of nowhere; He secretly pulled a man dressed as a 'Taoist priest' of the Huashen Sect into the corner, and after quickly handing him a cloth bag, he disappeared into the depths of the alley as soon as his figure turned......

These two fires burned until the next morning, when they were completely extinguished.

Feng's house was full of more than 70 people, including the head of the family, Feng Qiling, all of them were trapped in the fire and turned into a corpse of 'coke'; In addition to turning the county yamen into ruins, this fire 'only' burned the lives of a man and a woman;

Needless to say, this male corpse must be Master Cheng who 'guards the Chinese army', and the female corpse should be Mrs. Zhixian who has been living in the wing room to 'rest and recuperate'......

Of course, Lord Chen didn't know about his wife's dewy marriage with Zhang Wen! Faced with the death of his right-hand man and his wife, coupled with the fact that he was shirtless and worked all night in the cold wind, he immediately fainted after seeing Xue Zhutou carrying the two charred corpses out of the ruins......

Because of the shorter charred corpse, the little finger of his right hand was only half a truncated length!

When Lord Chen was not an official, he and his wife worked hard at home every day to extract oil; And the little finger of his wife's short right hand was deserted when she was squeezing oil once, and was 'brought' by an iron hoop pried up from the pile hammer......

Xue Liu, who had been busy all night, was suddenly idle, and his brain began to become a little trance...... He looked at the other, slightly larger corpse, and couldn't help but feel sad.

It is true that he is a vulgar martial artist, but this Master Cheng, who was buried in the sea of fire, is also quite a bit of Confucian in terms of dealing with people and things on weekdays! Since the two of them are both people in a foreign land, although they belong to the two realms of civil and military, they also have a sense of like-mindedness. Moreover, the conduct and ethics of the two are not the kind of 'moral cleanliness' defenders, so this combination of literature and martial arts, one outside and one inside is an excellent partner in work, and in life they are close friends who learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses......

Now that these two fires are over, they will definitely not be able to hide it, whether Lord Chen is fleeing or being dismissed from office, he is completely wearing the official clothes of the nine-rank headcatcher......

Overnight, two fires ignited in small Julu County one after another. This first fire burned down an elegant and chic Sanjin mansion, and also burned to death a third-grade member of the imperial court who was waiting for a comeback; The damage caused by the second fire was not so great, only a county yamen that had been in disrepair for a long time was burned, and a master of Lu Donglai and Mrs. Palm Prints of the Qipin County Order were burned to death.

The perpetrator of the first fire was the master of the Huashen merchant group sent by Di Ting, a middle-aged woman, Chi Zhong; So who set this fire in the county yamen?
