The fire in the Xie Mansion was in a granary located in the northeast corner of the mansion.

It is not uncommon for the mansions of dignitaries and nobles to have granaries, and in addition to the fixed monthly salary, the officials of the Gaine court still have income from the fields during the grain harvest season.

Career field, also known as "job field" or "food rent field", is the field granted by the imperial court to officials according to the official rank after the Northern Wei Dynasty, that is, the rented corn collected from the rented field is the land.

For example, Xie Junhao was a dignitary of the imperial court, and there were countless fields of work, and naturally he collected a lot of grain, so he built a granary in his mansion for the purpose of hoarding grain.

The granaries of Xie Mansion are all surrounded by wooden frames, with wooden frames and thatched grass, and the fire suddenly burned into a piece like a fire and a camp, and before the servants who put out the fire arrived, the entire grain hoard was already burning with flames! The rising green smoke can be seen throughout Luoyang City.

On the poetry collection, Cui Wenqing's second poem had not yet been written, and he saw that the fire had started, and his heart was full of joy.

And many talented people also saw the fire, and they were surprised and dumbfounded for a while, but they didn't know what to do.

Cui Wenqing was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and reminded loudly: "Everyone, there is a fire in Prime Minister Xie's mansion, how can we see it?" Be an onlooker? Everyone follow me to fight the fire! With that, he raised his arms and rushed out.

Seeing this, the rest of the scholars suddenly woke up, and they all realized that this was an excellent opportunity to win Xie Junhao's favor, and they all followed Cui Wenqing and rushed away.

Outside the gate of Xie Mansion, the fast catchers patrolling the streets of Luoyang Mansion also saw the sudden fire in Xie Mansion, and immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and they all screamed again and again, hurriedly carrying buckets, holding wooden basins and rushing towards Xie Mansion.

The old man had a lot of experience in running water, but he was not surprised, and soon found a wooden basin in the nearby shop to put out the fire.

However, he just wanted to move, but when he saw that the young man was still staring at the fire blankly, but he didn't make any moves, as if he was scared, he immediately couldn't help but step forward and said urgently: "Ning Lang, the prime minister's mansion is on fire, what are you still doing here?" Come in with me to put out the fire! ”

Ning Zhen's beautiful eyes flashed with an uncontrollable solemnity, and she said in a deep voice: "Even if it is a fire, why does the fire spread so quickly? Besides, today is the day when Xie Junhao takes a concubine, and this fire is by no means simple! ”

It was the first time for the old man to hear her say so many words in a row, and he was a little surprised for a while, but he quickly reacted, stretched out his hand and knocked on Ning Zhen's head, and shouted: "It's not a simple ghost!" Are you the one who is the one who solves the case and gets into the gods?! Don't follow me to put out the fire. ”

"It's busy, don't make trouble!" Ning Zhen easily dodged the hands of the old man, and a trace of excitement appeared on her pretty face, and she said, "You can go to the fire fighting these little things by yourself, I don't have time to spare!" After speaking, the slender hand slapped the knife on his waist, and the whole person jumped up, flew a few feet into the air, and went in the direction of Xie Fu.

The old man looked at her departing back dumbfounded, and muttered to himself: "It turns out that the kid has been hidden all along, master!" ”

At this time, Xie Junhao and the others in the main hall also heard the announcement, and they all changed their colors.

The most famous fire is the Chang'an fire at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which burned down almost half of Chang'an City, and even the famous Daming Palace was reduced to ashes.

In short, only one month after the fire, Datang perished.

And Chang'an City, which was lost by the fire, has not fully recovered until now.

Today, a fire broke out in Xie Junhao's mansion, and it was in Shangshanfang, where hundreds of officials gathered, which naturally made all the ministers present realize the seriousness of the problem.

Xie Junhao's face was even more anxious, and he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and said: "Colleagues, there is a sudden fire in the mansion, I have to go and see it immediately, and I will not accompany you." After saying that, he hurriedly left his seat.

As soon as the host left, the guests naturally didn't want to wait here, Chen Xuan said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the incident happened suddenly, we should go and take a look together, so as not to spread the fire and affect his house!" ”

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "His Royal Highness King Qi's words are very good, let's go together." ”

So, everyone left their seats and went out together under the leadership of Chen Xuan.

Zhi Zhao thought about Cui Wenqing's safety, but at the moment, I believe that Cui Wenqing, who participated in the poetry collection, should also be safe, so he also followed the ministers on the same road.

When they came to the location of the granary, they saw that the whole courtyard had turned into red flames.

The raging fire burned wildly, and bursts of black smoke swept up into the sky like a remnant cloud, and everywhere you saw was a sea of fire.

And groups of servants carried buckets and pots, like ants on a hot pot, throwing water to extinguish the fire.

Fortunately, there is a pool of water not far from the granary, and there is no shortage of water.

After all, Xie Junhao is General Yulinwei, after the initial panic, he immediately calmed down, and when he saw that everyone was fighting the fire, he immediately shouted and commanded, and immediately restored order to the scene, and even the firefighting became orderly.

Seeing this, Zhi Zhao secretly thought: People say that Xie Junhao relied on the relationship of his sister Empress Dowager Xie to become the prime minister of the dynasty and the general of Yulinwei, and he himself has no ability, but he is a gentleman, but today he is biased, just from this command in the face of the crisis, it is very good, and he really has the style of a general.

Just as her mind was flickering, she suddenly saw a group of young talents also running over, and without saying a word, they took the buckets and wooden basins from the hands of the servants, and also rushed to extinguish the fire.

Zhi Zhao recognized that these people were scholars who participated in the poetry collection, and he was shocked when he arrived, and hurriedly walked over to stop a person, and asked quickly: "Have you seen Cui Wenqing?" Is that the person who made "Queqiao Immortal Xianyun Tricky" just now? ”

As soon as the talented man saw that the person blocking the road was the Governor of Zhenwu Army, Zhizhao, who was the governor of the Zhenwu Army, he was immediately excited, and said in a trembling voice: "Governor Zhida...... It was Cui Gongzi who asked us to come to fight the fire, he had been rushing to the front just now, so he thought that he had already rushed into the fire at this time, right? ”

"What?!" Zhi Zhao lost his voice in surprise, looking at the raging, heatwave rolling fire, the delicate beauty that had always collapsed in front of Mount Tai and did not change its color, suddenly turned into a snow-white piece, and a huge sense of dizziness also hit her, and she was about to stand unsteadily.

Zhi Zhao took a deep breath and struggled to stabilize his crumbling body, and said sadly with tears in his eyes: "This fool, should you be your own home? Why did you run in to put out the fire so desperately? ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhi Zhao snatched the wooden basin in the hands of the genius in front of him, raised his hands directly above his head, and then poured a basin full of water on his head, and the whole person suddenly turned into a soup chicken.

"Fold ...... The Metropolitan Governor ...... "The genius in front of him didn't know why Zhe Zhao was suddenly like this, and he was stunned for a while.

Zhi Zhao ignored him, raised his sleeves to wipe off the water droplets that kept dripping from Jiaojing, looked at the sea of flames rolling and showed a decisive look, bit it and rushed in desperately.
