The fire broke out, and in just an instant, the firewood room reflected the red color.

Seeing that the fire was out of control, more and more people exclaimed, and the kitchen steward was even more anxious, it stands to reason that he should go to tell the shopkeeper at this time, but if he really goes, he will become a scapegoat!

Gritting his teeth, he could only choose to fight on the front line, where everyone could see, to prove that he had done his best to fight the fire, and only the credit in front of everyone would not be hidden, so as to ensure that he could stand up afterwards!

"Quick! Ignore the firewood room first, clean up the area around the firewood room first, and splash all the parts connected to the kitchen and the firewood room! The chubby kitchen steward shouted loudly under the heat.

People were slightly stunned, but they also felt that this was the best way at present, and immediately walked towards the part connected to the kitchen and firewood room with buckets one by one!

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a ray of fire flashed rapidly and rushed towards the attic.

Most of the people were pouring water according to the instructions of the steward wholeheartedly, and they didn't notice this, and although a few people noticed, they were a little dumbfounded.

They didn't know how this fire was formed, and gunpowder was not yet widely used, unlike later generations, when even a child knew that after dismantling the cannonball, he could use gunpowder to play with these beautiful things.

Therefore, in the next second after being stunned, someone exclaimed: "It's Shenhuo!" ”

"It's Skyfire!"

"What comes out of the ground is clearly the fire of the earth!"

"It must be that the commercial building has been damned by heaven and has done too much!"

"Yes, I know, there are three families who have been killed because of gambling......"

"This is the Jade Emperor (Renzong's early enshrined Heavenly Court, so there is a Jade Emperor in the Northern Song Dynasty) can't see it, so let Shenhuo punish Shanglou!"

The sound of discussion gradually spread, and the eyes of people with other thoughts flickered.

At the same time, the flames caused by the gunpowder had already entered the attic, scorched the curtains, and the curtains made of brocade curled slightly under the smoke of the flames, and then a wisp of flame rose.

The people in the attic gradually smelled the burning smell, and when they turned their heads to look for it, the curtain was already burning!

"It's out of the water!"

The people slammed to their feet, and all of them panicked and began to put out the fire.

But in the next second, everyone was stunned, because, on the ground and on the beams, countless fires were pulled out with a "stab" sound.

Flames lit everywhere, and the flames grew larger, and the wooden attic began to burn.

In the attic, gamblers, dealers, and petty men rushed downstairs, and on the narrow staircase, seven or eight people were squeezed over and rolled down, and no one cared about them.

It's still easy, falling down the stairs, lucky enough to pick up a life, but those who were pushed down in the aisle were trampled by a pair of feet, and the terrible howl didn't stop this hellish torture, because the people behind were desperately squeezing, and even if the people in front found someone on the ground, they couldn't do anything.

What's more, more people only care about their own lives, even if something is wrong under their feet, at this time, they will not think about it, let alone pay attention to it.

The crowd rushed out in a mess, and on the ground in the attic, only a few bloody corpses remained.

By the lake, Xin Xi greeted the cool breeze at the turn of spring and summer, and indifferently watched the raging fire rising in the commercial building.

Xin Yi stood beside him, and confusion flashed in his eyes: "It turns out that the fire is so beautiful, no wonder the ancients fought and liked the art of fire attack so much!" ”

Chong Jianzhong was slightly stunned, and his face was a little unbearable: "The people inside, will they die too innocently?!" ”

Thirty-six looked up at Xin Zhen, he wanted to see what Eleven Lang would say.

Xin Xi turned around and chuckled: "The fire doesn't spread quickly, they have a chance to escape, and if they can't escape, they are damned people, don't feel guilty!" ”

Fortunately, he has been floating in the red dust for the past few years, and his heart has long been invulnerable, so Xin Xi will no longer be so easily moved, and he will no longer be so easy to be sad and unable to restrain himself.

Just like Sima Yun's decision that day, it didn't make him feel as painful as when he faced Ai Xue.

He can still eat well, sleep well, and still calm down and do what he has to do.

Anyway, I've already experienced so much, and if I add a knife to my heart, it won't hurt!

Xin Yi raised his head and looked at Eleven Lang's reddened face in the firelight, and he was very puzzled in his heart, obviously he was a seventeen-year-old boy, why did he feel more vicissitudes than the patriarch Xin Tier?!

"Let's go! Homecoming! Xin Zhen turned around and took one last look at the commercial building that was caught in the fire.

Inexplicably, he found that he did what he wanted to do, and he was still not happy.

Xin nodded, it was indeed time to leave, after all, this fire was too inexplicable, if someone saw the fire of gunpowder and the rat carrying the gunpowder bag, the merchant building would definitely immediately send someone to search the surroundings.

However, you should not go home!

Such a big fire, the fire prevention department (the fire brigade of the Northern Song Dynasty!) According to the information, there was indeed a fire brigade in the Northern Song Dynasty, but I didn't find out what the fire brigade was called, let's call it the fire department, and then change it when I found it. There must have been men over there, and at the same time, the Forbidden Army will also be dispatched, presumably to lock down the city.

At this time, if he was caught at the gate of the city, he would have to be taken to Kaifeng Mansion for interrogation.

"Eleven Lang, the Fire Prevention Division should be dispatched, and the forbidden army will probably seal the city!" Xin Yi reminded.

"Fire Division?"

This is a very straightforward name, as the name suggests, you can understand, Xin Xi is puzzled, there is no fire brigade in the Republic of China, why did the Northern Song Dynasty have it? !

Since the security facilities in the Northern Song Dynasty are so powerful, now going home is asking for trouble, thinking about it, Xin Zhen said: "Go to the night market!" ”

Go to the night market first, blend in with the crowd, and then follow the crowd, and the chance of being suspected will be infinitely reduced!

The four men disposed of the remaining gunpowder on the ground, broke off all the arrows and buried them in the mud by the lake, and then walked towards the night market.

The same lights are brilliant, and there are lanterns hanging in front of the house, but some hang a pair, and some hang a string!

In addition, UU Reading Books .nt Street is about two feet above the street, and there are six silk threads drawn out, and each silk thread is hung with a lantern every five meters or so, which illuminates the street as bright as day. It is said that this idea came from Li Jing, the Duke of Li Wei of the Tang Dynasty, but at the beginning, Li Jing hung a wire in the sky and used a mouse to pull a cart to deliver the letter......

The lights are brilliant, life is noisy, and there are fireworks everywhere!

This is the night market, the city that never sleeps in the Great Song Dynasty!

After wandering around for about half an hour, the sound of armor colliding with gold and iron suddenly sounded on the street, and a group of Janissaries in armor quickly walked through the middle of the street, led by someone shouting: "Seal the market tonight, go home!" ”

Someone sneered and glanced at the forbidden army a few times, Bianliang market extends in all directions, how can it be sealed if you want to.

But then, he saw that on the streets, teams of Praetorian Guards came over, densely packed, no less than 2,000 people!

"Seal the market tonight, go home separately, and if there are stranded people, they will be detained in Kaifeng Mansion!"

Xin Zhen was slightly stunned, it shouldn't be, it just burned a commercial building, where did you get such a big reaction?!
