Chapter 61: The Fire in the Incense Factory

In Gusu City, the bright sunlight poured on the earth, reflecting a bright white. At this time, Gong Wanran had not woken up yet, and he was too tired for the past two days.

"Oh no! Brother Gonghui! Something is wrong! Open the door! Open the door! He Yu shouted loudly while banging on the courtyard door.

Hana walked through the courtyard and opened the courtyard door, only to see that Heyu was in a hurry, and Shuang Di was also following aside, with a worried look, so she asked, "What's the matter, what is the fuss." ”

"Sister Hana, is Brother Gonghui here? Something is wrong! ”

Hana pointed to the room and said, "I don't know, maybe I'm still sleeping, right?" You go check it out. ”

He Yu hurriedly ran to the outside of Gong Huiran's room, looked through the window, and sure enough, he saw that Gong Huiran hadn't woken up yet, so he hurriedly knocked on the door and told Gong Huiran to get up.

Hana leaned against the wall and asked Frosty, "What's going on so flustered, your brother is nervous all day." ”

Shuang Tu lowered her head, looking guilty, "It's all my fault, it's my fault." ”

"What's the matter? Why do I blame you? ”

"The incense factory is on fire......"

Gonghui was woken up by Heyu, and when he heard about the fire in the incense factory, he suddenly fell asleep, and hurriedly asked the reason while getting dressed.

He Yu said: "In the morning, the workers in the factory came to me to report that the factory was on fire!" ”

"When did the fire start?"

"According to the workers who live in the factory, the fire was very fierce when it was almost dawn, and it was already burning when it was found."

"And what's going on now?"

"The workers fought desperately to extinguish the fire, and it was not easy to control the fire, but the damage is estimated to be serious."

"Has anyone been hurt? Did it affect the people around it? ”

"Nope."

Hearing this, Gong Wanran breathed a sigh of relief, he got dressed and said, "As long as no one is injured, let's go, let's go to the factory to have a look." ”

Hana also pulled Frost up and stepped forward, "Let's go with the two of us." ”

When the four of them came to the incense factory, they saw that the factory was dark, the dirty water on the ground was flowing sideways, a few pieces of wood were still emitting faint green smoke, and a group of workers with black and gray faces were squatting on the ground to rest.

When the foreman saw Gong Huiran, he hurriedly led people to get up and salute, and Gong Huiran helped the foreman up and asked with concern if anyone was injured. The foreman was very apologetic, and said to Gong Wanran with a sad face: "My lord, it is all our fault, I am afraid that someone accidentally knocked over the fire candle and caused the fire." ”

Gong Wanran waved his hand and said, "It's okay, as long as no one is hurt." ”

The foreman pointed to the equipment and facilities stacked in the middle of the factory and said, "My lord, the brothers fought the fire desperately to save our equipment and facilities. ”

Gong Wanran grabbed the foreman's dirty hand and said to everyone with emotion: "Thank you for your hard work!" Thank you! ”

He Yu stood aside, staring at the ruined factory building, feeling extremely sad. At this time, Shuang Di came over and whispered apologetically: "Brother, this fire must have been deliberately set by that person last night." It's all my fault, because I offended the bad people by giving me my birthday. ”

"Sister, don't say that, I can't blame you. And the matter has not been investigated clearly, and the cause is not known, and it is possible that the workers accidentally knocked over the candle. ”

Frost shook her head, pointed to the dark ground, and said, "There is no trace of overfire in the center of the factory, but it is burned all around. Therefore, yesterday's fire must have burned from the periphery of the factory to the center at the same time, and if the fire had been caused by the overturning of the fire candle, the traces would not have been like this. Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, woo woo......"

Frost blamed herself and cried as she spoke.

Heyu hurriedly comforted Frost Tea, but after listening to Frost Tea's analysis, he was even more sure that this fire was done by Ruler Strategy. He Yu was resentful, clenched his fists and came to Gong Huiran's side, and whispered: "Brother Gong Hui, this fire is set slightly!" Damn, this bastard! I'm not done with him! ”

"What are you going to do?"

He Yu was asked all of a sudden, although his grievances were not gone, he didn't know how to answer, so he could only gasp and say, "It's not over anyway!" This revenge must be avenged! ”

"You said it was a slight fire, do you have any proof?"

"Evidence...... This...... Hmph, what if there is no evidence! Anyway, this fire was definitely set by him! ”

At this time, Hana also came up and said angrily: "That big fat man last night was called Qiluo, right?!" Damn it! See how I clean him up! Heyu, if you go with your sister tonight, you have to beat him all over the ground to find his teeth! ”

Gong Wanran shook his head, and said to Heyu and Hana with a smile: "Okay, okay, you two don't care about this matter, I'll take care of it." ”

He Yu was not convinced, "but...... Shall we just swallow our anger? Do you just let the ruler ride on the neck and bully us? ”

"No, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. Besides, we didn't suffer a loss in the fight last night, but we were beaten a little bit worse. ”

Hana shook her head and said, "Hmph, he's also miserable?" If you hadn't pulled me and didn't let me get on later, I would have beaten him into a pig's head! ”

"Miss Hana, don't mention revenge again, I'll find a ruler to get justice."

"Okay, if he dares to embarrass you, Heyu and I will definitely beat him to death!"

Gong Wanran nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Hana." ”

Although he gave up the idea of revenge, He Yu was still worried, he pointed to the black factory and asked: "Brother Gonghui, now that the factory has been destroyed, what should you do?" ”

"It doesn't matter, the equipment and facilities are not damaged, and although the factory was burned, it will be rebuilt very quickly. Fortunately, the newly purchased raw materials have not yet arrived, and if the raw materials are destroyed, we will not have the capital. ”

"But it also takes a lot of money to rebuild the incense factory! How can the incense factory still have money now? ”

"I'll pay!" Hana stepped forward without hesitation.

"No, Miss Hana has already paid a lot of money for my business, and I can't ask for Miss Hana's money anymore."

"It's okay! I've got a lot of money! You just have to use it! ”

He Yu also said: "Brother Gonghui, I can also contribute some money here." ”

Gong Wanran hesitated for a moment, and there was no better way to think about it, so he could only respond: "That...... Well, even if I borrow this money, when the incense factory makes a profit, I will return it to the two of you with interest. ”

"No, no, it's because I'm too reckless."

Hana said, "Hmph, you're not reckless! I should teach that bastard a hard lesson! ”

"Thank you both! Then I will contact the craftsmen today, if it is fast, the factory will be rebuilt in a few days, and the workers will be given a holiday in these days. ”

At this time, the foreman came over and asked, "Lord Gonghui! Just now, the villain heard you say that you are looking for craftsmen to rebuild the factory. ”

"Exactly, I do mean that."

"Adults don't have to look for it, we can, and we don't need to be paid."

"How can this work?"

"Adults love the people like sons, even we homeless people can't bear to give up, if it weren't for the adults who recruited us to work, I'm afraid our family would have starved to death. We are grateful to my lordship, and we are also grateful to him and to his son. Although Childe is strict on weekdays, it is really good to everyone, and we can still eat meat once every half a month! This factory is our home! Adults and children are our reborn parents! We will definitely rebuild the factory as soon as possible! ”

The other workers also nodded, their eyes full of determination and enthusiasm.

When He Yu heard this, his eyes moistened, and he lowered his head, for fear that others would see the tears in his eyes.

Gong Wanran was also full of emotion, and saluted everyone deeply: "Thank you! Thank you! ”

At noon, Gong Wanran was working in Simin's Mansion, and at this time, the guards came to report that Yu Xianyao had been invited.

"Elder Yu, please come in."

Yu Xianyao paced briskly, hurriedly walked into the inner hall, his heart was worried, his face was full of apologies, and when he saw Gong Huiran, he hurriedly knelt down and bowed, "Lord Gong Hui, are you looking for me?" ”

"Well, Mr. Yu, please take a seat."

"My lord, what happened last night...... It's all my fault, huh! The matter was not handled well.,It led to a conflict with Yu Gongzi and the ruler of the son.,I hope your forgiveness.。 ”

Gong Wanran smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, I don't blame you for what happened last night." ”

"There are a lot of adults, and the villains are scared, by the way, how is the fire?"

"It's no big deal, although the factory was destroyed, no one was injured, and the surrounding people were not implicated."

"Hey, blame me, blame me! In this way, my lord calculates how much loss there is, and I will bear all of it. ”

"No, the loss is not big, and Elder Yu doesn't have to worry too much. However, there are some things that need to be done by Mr. Yu for me next. ”

"What's the matter? Your Excellency just commands. ”

"There was such a fuss last night, which did cause a lot of disputes, and there was a bond between the two sons, but the dispute should be resolved, so this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"That's, that's, what do you need me to do?"

"Does Elder Yu know anyone who can help?"

"What do you mean...... Oh, I see. Yu Xianyao pondered for a while and said: "Speaking of which, I know a person, that person's surname is Han, and he is the old account office of Dazai-sama's family, he has been with Dazai-sama for half his life, and he is Dazai-sama's confidant. In addition to managing the accounts in Dazaifu, the Han account room also helps the ruler to do some things, so it is most suitable to get to know the ruler through him. ”

"Okay, then Lao Yu will introduce you."

"Don't worry, my lord, this matter is on me."

"Thank you, Mr. Yu. Also, has Yu Lao's caravan set off? ”

"Guys, as soon as they got the goods yesterday morning, they set off for Chu State."

"I hope all the best."

"Don't worry, sir! I am very confident in this shipment! ”

"Oh? Why did Yu Lao say this? ”

"After picking up the goods yesterday, I kept ten catties and wanted to try the market in Gusu, but I just gave it to a few friends to try, and they were full of praise, and the ten catties of spices were sold out at once. Hey, if I knew I would have kept more! ”

"Although Gusu is prosperous, there are not many people who can use snake thorn incense, and Yu Lao must open up the market of neighboring countries as soon as possible."

"That's, that's. Adults don't have to worry about this, judging from the price given by adults, merchants have a lot to make money, so they will naturally try their best to sell goods. ”

"That's fine."

After that, Gong Wanran saw the ruler through the Han account room, and presented the ruler with a valuable hosta, the ruler couldn't put it down, and the arson burned the factory to dissipate the anger, so he no longer held a grudge against the previous festival.

He Yu led the workers to work tirelessly, working overtime and working all night, and soon rebuilt the incense factory, and after the new raw materials arrived in the factory, the workers immediately began production. On the other hand, the sales situation of the merchants was very optimistic, and all the merchants involved made a lot of money, so the merchants stammered and grabbed the goods all day long.

Since then, the incense factory has been prosperous and thriving.
