Chapter 501: The Fire

It's midnight.'" Nature's Sounds

The county seat of Shanghai is shrouded in a deep night, and the whole city is silent, and people are in a sweet sleep at this time.

"It's on fire, come and put out the fire!"

Suddenly, a terrible shout broke the peace of the county, and smoke billowed from a place in the city, and the flames soared into the sky.

Li Hongyu in his sleep was not awakened by the shouting, but smelled a strong smell of smoke, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the window was red as if it was on fire, and the room was filled with some choking smoke.

Seeing this situation, Li Hongyu was taken aback, and immediately fell asleep, and hurriedly got up to check, and before he could open the door, there was a shout of firefighting in the courtyard.

Different from the palace, because there are taboos in the palace, "fire" is said to be "walking water", but the people do not have so many rules, directly shouting "fire", who shouts "walking water" will be confusing for a while.

After Li Hongyu opened the door, the place where the fire caught fire was the front yard of the inn, and the fire was full of fire, and the fire was very fierce.

"Oops!" Li Hongyu's face immediately changed, and he rushed out of the door before he had time to put on his clothes, the current wind direction is towards the backyard, with the fire of the fire, there is a good chance that it will burn to the backyard with the wind, he must let Youlan and Zining and others who live in the backyard leave.

At the same time, the costumes and props that are placed in the backyard are also transferred, and once these things are burned, they will not be able to perform tomorrow.

Due to the sudden incident and the ferocity of the fire, the inn was in chaos in an instant, and the people in the backyard said that the people in the front yard were forced to run out of the burning room regardless of the ferocious fire and fled for their lives, and the situation at the scene was chaotic, and the cries were endless.

Li Hongyu commanded Ma Xianglin and the others to send Zi Ning and the others away from the back door of the inn and move them to a safe place, and then carry the costumes and props, after all, the costumes and props can be replenished if they are gone, but if the people are gone, then the consequences will be serious.

The neighbors around the inn were awakened by the fire one after another, and they came to put out the fire with basins to prevent the fire from spreading to other places, which would cause greater damage.

"Brother Sheng, this fire is so big that it burned down half of the inn so quickly."

After arriving at a safe place, Yang Li'er, who was scattered and beautiful, glanced at the direction of the burning inn and said to Li Hongyu with palpitations.

The so-called fire and water are ruthless, once such a disaster occurs, people can only flee for their lives, and if they are unlucky, they can only end up with a tragic death, and I don't know if the guests in the front yard have not escaped from the fire.

Because this fire came unexpectedly, Yang Li'er didn't have time to change into men's clothes at all, so she had to appear in front of everyone as a woman, anyway, Youlan and Zining both knew that she was a daughter.

"yes, the fire is burning too fast!" Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and then his brows furrowed, and he realized something.

The fire in the inn spread very quickly, and in a short time the front yard became a sea of fire, which is obviously a bit contrary to common sense, if it is accidentally fired, the fire is definitely not so fierce, unless......

Li Hongyu's eyes immediately flashed with cold light, unless someone deliberately set the fire, it would make the fire out of control.

And this fire did not grow sooner or later, and it was only ignited when they moved in, and it was clearly aimed at them.

The innkeeper should not have this kind of enemy who set fire to the shop, you must know that the person who commits this crime will be severely punished, and the person who set the fire should know that there are guests of the Customs Department in the inn, and if you do it at this time, it will undoubtedly be looking for death.

But why did the other party come at them, which made Li Hongyu puzzled, in his impression, he and Youlan, Zining and others didn't seem to have such enemies.

Moreover, the defense of the county seat of Shanghai is in charge of the sergeant directly under the Customs Department, and the arsonist should know this very well, even if he sets the fire, he will not be able to escape, and he will definitely be found out.

What particularly puzzled Li Hongyu was that if the person who set the fire was coming for them, then why did he set the fire in the front yard instead of the backyard where they lived, and it stands to reason that the other party could not have set the wrong fire in the wrong place of residence.

Don't......

"Count the number of people!" Li Hongyu suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to Yang Li'er, "Let's see if all of them are there." ”

If the purpose of the arson was not to take the lives of Li Hongyu and others, then there was only one result, which was to take the opportunity to create chaos to fish in troubled waters, and now that Li Hongyu was standing here well, then the target of the other party could only be Youlan and Zining and other Qing people.

Therefore, Li Hongyu must count the number of people to see who did not gather here with everyone in the chaos, hoping that his speculation is wrong.

Yang Li'er saw that Li Hongyu looked anxious, and knew that something might have happened, so she hurriedly ran to the place where Youlan and Zining and other female relatives gathered to count the number of people.

"Brother Sheng, Youlan didn't come!" After a while, Yang Li'er hurriedly ran over and said to Li Hongyu in a hurry, "Her personal maid said that she left the room with Youlan, but she was separated on the way due to chaos. ”

"Separated?" Li Hongyu's brows suddenly frowned when he heard this, although the situation just now was chaotic, it had not yet reached the point of being separated, and with Ma Xianglin and others guarding him, as long as Youlan was with everyone, how could he be separated?

"Childe, I'll send someone back to find it." At this time, Ma Xianglin bowed to Li Hongyu and said in a deep voice, Youlan is the protagonist of tomorrow's performance, and if something happens, the performance will be ruined.

"Hmm!" Li Hongyu frowned slightly when he heard this, and then told Ma Xianglin, "Send someone to find someone from the Customs Department, and ask them to guard the city gate and not let anyone out of the city." ”

"Yes." Hearing this, Ma Xianglin bowed to Li Hongyu again, and hurriedly made arrangements, since Li Hongyu had already given the order, it was obvious that the county seat of Shanghai County would be closed down in order to find Youlan's whereabouts.

"Brother Sheng, will Youlan be taken away?" After Ma Xianglin left, Yang Li'er couldn't help but ask suspiciously, she really couldn't understand who dared to take the risk of offending Scholar Li to rob Youlan.

"Let's hope we're wrong." Li Hongyu shook his head and replied with a serious expression, he didn't understand what the other party's intention was to take such a big risk if he really robbed Youlan, wouldn't he be afraid that he would have no place in Daming?

"Look at the maid of Youlan, she may know something." Then, Li Hongyu thought of something and whispered to Yang Li'er, "Judging from the situation just now, Youlan will not be separated at all, there must be something hidden in it." ”

"Okay, I'll go." Yang Li'er felt that her words were reasonable, nodded to Li Hongyu, and went to ask her maid to keep an eye on the maid in Youlan, lest she take advantage of the chaos to escape.

Li Hongyu's brows furrowed slightly, he never imagined that there would be an accident in Shanghai County, and he felt quite annoyed in his heart, you must know that this is his territory, but even the place where he lives has been set on fire, what does this make him face?

Although he felt a fire in his heart, Li Hongyu was now more concerned about Youlan's safety, even if those people robbed Youlan after the four gates of Shanghai County, they couldn't take it out of the city, and what he was worried about now was whether those people would kill Youlan in anger, so that anything he did would be meaningless, and the top priority was to ensure Youlan's safety.

Things were just as Li Hongyu expected, the people sent by Ma Xianglin turned over the entire inn and didn't find Youlan, and Youlan quietly disappeared.

"Gongzi Li, now that Youlan is gone, what should we do tomorrow?" After learning this amazing news, Hongxia suddenly became anxious, Youlan is the pillar of the performance, if she is not there, then tomorrow's performance will be in vain.

Li Hongyu didn't worry about the performance, it was a big deal to find a reason to postpone it, but he thought about it for a while, it was a bit inappropriate to do so, after all, this was something that had already been agreed, and it was really unreasonable to let a Ming auxiliary minister come to accommodate Youlan.

"It's urgent, if Youlan can't come back in time tomorrow, then we'll change people."

Therefore, Li Hongyu pondered for a while and then said to Hongxia, "Let Zining replace Youlan, and Zining's role will be taken by Miss Li'er, so that it can be performed normally." ”

"Let Miss Lian'er take Zi Ning's role?"

Hongxia was slightly stunned when she heard this, Zi Ning played the princess, and Zi Shuang played Feng Suzhen's fiancΓ© Li Zhaoting, if Yang Li'er played Li Zhaoting, would the effect be discounted, after all, Yang Li'er had never performed on stage before.

Like others, Hongxia also thought that the "Li'er" in Li Hongyu's mouth was "Lian'er", so she always regarded Yang Li'er as "Miss Lian'er", and knew that Li Hongyu had a close relationship with Yang Li'er.

"Li'er has been learning drama with Youlan and Zining for this time, although she can't reach Zining's level, but if she wants to go on stage, she can deal with it."

Li Hongyu knew that Hongxia was worried that Yang Li'er would ruin the performance, so he comforted in a deep voice, he didn't let Yang Li'er play Li Zhaoting for no reason, Yang Li'er's appearance, figure and singing voice are all superior, and now only such a flexibility can make tomorrow's play continue to sing, otherwise the personnel change will be very large.

"Okay, I'll go find Miss Lian'er." Hongxia smiled a little helplessly when she heard this, and left behind Li Hongyu, she never expected that something would happen in Shanghai County, and she seemed to have no choice but Li Hongyu's bold plan.

Yang Li'er was taken aback when she learned about this, and was surprised that Li Hongyu had let her go on stage, and Li Hongyu had never mentioned this matter before.

Although surprised, Yang Li'er knew the current situation, so she agreed after weighing left and right, and now Li Hongyu is in trouble, she must step forward to help Li Hongyu.

In fact, Li Hongyu asked Yang Li'er to play Li Zhaoting has another purpose, that is, to take the opportunity to take Yang Li'er, the background of the person who dares to go to Shanghai County to set fire to make trouble is definitely not simple, he doesn't want Yang Li'er to have an accident, and is ready to make every effort to thoroughly investigate Youlan's disappearance.
