The fire fold lit a trail, tumbled and fell onto the roof of a layer of hay, and in an instant, the faint flame spread out, and burned a beautiful picture on the green tile roof in the direction of the lamp oil, but it was deadly!

It was only ten breaths, and the craftsman who noticed something strange in the house immediately dropped the mold in his hand, rushed out of the house, looked up and just glanced at it, and his face changed greatly!

How did the fire come about? Could it be that the furnace has collapsed?

But at this moment, no one thought about how the fire was burned, and everyone immediately carried buckets and basins, and planned to put out the fire in the water tank next to the house.

But the fire is too high, basically on the roof, but it began to spread through the windows, and the beams of some houses also burned, if they are not extinguished in time, the beams of the house will be broken, and the whole house will collapse, and at that time, the fire will also fall down and burn all the things in the house!

"Ladder, find the ladder!"

"There is only one pair of ladders, and the east and west compartments are on fire, which side to save first?"

"I don't have it in the workshop, so I won't borrow it outside?"

"Don't be stunned if you borrow anything, hurry up and move the molds and copper coins out, quickly, otherwise it's all over!"

After some debate, the craftsmen all decided to give up fighting the fire and move things out.

The fire became more and more intense, and at first, the craftsmen of the foundry could rush into the house to move out the molds and copper coins, but when the fire spread to the house, whether it was the air wave or the black smoke, it was extremely uncomfortable, and the fire had already burned all the houses in the workshop, if you don't go out at this moment, I am afraid that there will be no chance to leave!

"Leave things alone, go, run!"

"Oh no. The Westinghouse collapsed, and two people had already gone in just now! What should I do? ”

"What!"

Shock and grief struck at the same time. Some people who are weak in their hearts are directly scared silly!

The sound of gongs sounded in Xicheng, and the people nearby came out of their houses one after another. After seeing the fire in the foundry, some people went to save people and put out the fire, and some people dragged their families and fled from the spread of everyone.

This night, the whole West City was in chaos!

Dong Ce was awakened by the sound of a gong, and when he pushed open the window and saw the place where the flames were soaring, his chest seemed to be hammered hard, and he stumbled. Nearly fell to the ground.

Who is it?

In an instant, Dong Ce expected that someone must have set the fire, otherwise, it would be impossible for an ordinary fire to come so quickly, and during the day, he also went to inspect the foundry, whether it was a furnace or a firewood room, it was impossible to burn, even if it was burning. There are more than a dozen vats, and dozens of people can't be extinguished?

Dong Ce couldn't be allowed to think of the mastermind behind the scenes, so he grabbed his clothes and rushed out of the house.

The fire continued to burn, and with the night winds. Burn towards the building next door.

The weather is already dry at the end of summer, how can such a large fire be stopped?

"Sir!" The Zhou family suddenly let out an exclamation, waking Zhou Dahai from his dream.

Zhou Dahai who learned the news. All of a sudden, I was sweating profusely, and I didn't even wear clothes. Shirtless, he rushed out of the Zhou Mansion and rushed towards the place where the flames were soaring.

Lu Kexuan was the last to learn the news. When he rushed to the foundry, he saw that the foundry was already full, and Dong Ce and Zhou Dahai were still directing people to put out the fire.

"How so?" Lu Kexuan's eyes were red.

Dong Ce shook his head and didn't explain, because he didn't know it himself.

"Drive!" The sound of horses' hooves galloping from far to near, the leading Fang Mu rushed to the front, pulled the reins of the horse, did not say a word to Dong Ce and the others, but turned around and said to the catchers and officials who came behind: "Catch quickly in two batches, one group asks if anyone in the neighborhood has lost it, and the other group goes to put out the fire, and all the officials assist in fetching water......

After giving the order, Fang Mu jumped off the horse, rushed to Dong Ce's side, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Dong Ce's face was expressionless and said, "I don't know." ”

"Don't know?" Fang Mu's face suddenly became difficult to look at.

It's not that Fang Mu hasn't encountered a fire, since he became the chief arrester, he has organized people to fight fires no less than 100 times, but this time it is obviously wrong, it has only been a long time, and a foundry is gone, obviously someone deliberately set the fire!

But Dong Ce said that he didn't know, and he didn't believe it when he killed Fang Mu!

Indeed, as Fang Mu thought, the person who set the fire must have a grudge against Dong Ce, and he had already guessed who did it!

The guys who have a grudge against Dong Ce are none other than the Shanhe Society, the White Lotus Sect, and Dong Ziquan, but they don't know how deep the relationship between the foundry is with him, besides, even if the foundry is destroyed, can't he build it again?

It's better to directly lose his art garden, which is the heaviest loss for him, so that he can draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle.

But the other party gave up the art garden, and the burning foundry, that is obviously for copper coins, and who will target copper coins? Thinking about this, he naturally understands who is behind the scenes!

It was precisely because he knew that he would not tell Fang Mu, because Fang Mu had no way to deal with the other party, on the contrary, if people knew that he had exposed the mastermind behind the scenes, he would step into the ring in advance, and then he would inevitably face nine deaths and one life!

"Damn, do these guys really think that this will delay the popularization of copper coins!" Looking at the foundry that was about to burn into ruins, Dong Ce's face was iron-blue.

A fire lasted until dawn before it was extinguished, but now the foundry is in ruins!

The incident was so sensational that some say that it was the poor construction of the foundry, which caused the furnace to collapse and the house to be burned down by fire.

Although anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is impossible, because the fire in the foundry came suddenly and quickly, but in a quarter of an hour, all the houses in the workshop were ablaze, and there were obviously ghosts!

But although he knew, in order to get compensation, the neighbors around the foundry accused the people of the foundry of negligence, making Zhou Dahai and Lu Kexuan lose money!

At the same time, the news came from nowhere, saying that the copper coins of chips could no longer be minted, and this time, most of the people in Jinling Mansion panicked!

They all took copper coins to Zhouda Gambling House to exchange them for copper coins, and for a while, Zhou Dahai's hair turned white!

But fortunately, Dong Ce took precautions in advance and stored all the copper coins he could exchange, and he was not in a hurry to do business, let alone melt a single penny, just to prevent someone from exchanging a large number of copper coins.

Now, the mint is gone, but it is only a small loss, and if the copper coin is scrapped, it will be the biggest loss, because after the people have lost faith in their copper coin, it will be difficult to pick it up.

It is precisely because of this layer of protection that Dong Ce and the three of them have no different hearts, but their hearts are more aligned, whoever takes the copper coin to exchange it for you immediately, it will not be less than a penny, and at the same time release the news that the foundry will be rebuilt, and at the same time open gambling houses in Jinling and Gusu, anyone who carries the chips of the Zhouda Gambling House can go to the two places to exchange, and in the future, they will open gambling houses in more places for the convenience of everyone.

As soon as these news appeared, the people were at ease, and the number of people who exchanged them gradually decreased, and everyone also understood that a foundry was just a foundry, and not everyone died, with the financial resources of Zhou Da Gambling House and Ming Jianxuan, not to mention a foundry, it was ten, and they could build a hundred!

In fact, the people are also very reluctant to give up the copper coin, because it is too convenient, so as long as Zhou Dahai stands, most people still like to use copper coins.

And Zhou Dahai wants to build a gambling house in Gusu, which undoubtedly opens the door to convenience for the people of the two places, especially businessmen, who don't need to bring boxes of copper coins to Gusu in the future. (To be continued.) )
