Chapter Twenty-Five: Shocking the Whole Jinhua Mansion (Part II)
While the whole city of Jinhua Mansion was talking about it, thirteen different places were in the same place, and the surrounding houses were all submerged in the flames, and everything was reduced to ashes and became a ruin.
At this moment, the thirteen places were filled with cries of pain, hoarse cries, and endless cursing.
"Ah~ My home, why is there no one like this, who am I recruiting to provoke someone, why are you punishing me so much~? Oh my God, how are you going to let us live in the future?! ”
"Which god killed it, this fire was put on the fire, isn't this the life of our whole family~? Please, God, you will kill the one who suffered a thousand cuts~! ”
"My home, my house, save my home, save my house, ah~, it's my life~! What would I do without it?
In the midst of this fire, fortunately, it happened during the day, and there were almost no people in the house. If it happened in the dark of night, it would be terrible to think about. In that case, there will be countless deaths and injuries, and it is not as simple as scorching the house.
The fire was so violent, so violent, so widespread, and affected countless houses. If it weren't for the wide street barriers, and the fact that the fire could not be extinguished for a while, they had to push some houses in advance to create a barrier, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
By the time the fire was extinguished, countless houses had been reduced to rubble and turned into ruins, making way for a wide black area. The ruins after the fire were filled with blackened scorched earth, rising black smoke, and scattered sparks.
Under the organization of the government, the strong men and laborers among the people who suffered from the disaster were organized one by one and patrolled the ruins. Whenever you see a spark or something, extinguish it immediately to avoid a second fire.
The fire burned from morning to afternoon until dark. The streets and alleys of Jinhua Mansion are filled with black smoke and flying ashes;
The people who had just lost their homes were all dark-faced at this time, and everyone was sitting in the ruins in a daze, where their homes used to be. In his eyes, he was so confused, so helpless, and at a loss.
The stars in the sky were shrouded in black fog and loomed. It's late at night, and the people affected by the disaster still have no food or clothing. If you don't eat two meals, the adults can barely hold on. But what about children? I have gone from crying from being hungry to crying late at night, and I am tired and asleep.
In the dark night, in the steep spring breeze, men hugged their wives, women held their children, and the family snuggled up to each other, warmed each other, and comforted each other. In the midst of the fire, the family is still there, and it is the only place for them to be thankful.
After the catastrophe, it is the estimation of property damage. However, the damage caused by this fire is incalculable, immeasurable, and everything is lost in the fire.
In the middle of the night, the prefect Hong Antong did not rest early as usual, entered the gentle township, and enjoyed the comfort of fragrant jade and beautiful women.
At this time, Hong Antong and his master were in the study, discussing things, discussing the fire during the day, how to deal with it? How to do the aftermath.
Although Hong Antong thinks that Qianli is only an official for money, no matter how ignorant he is about government affairs and how greedy he is in his heart, he has to take things seriously after the fire and think about countermeasures.
Hong Antong clearly knows the seriousness of the incident, there are countless victims, and if one is not handled well, it will make the people's resentment boil. Although his prefect's rank is not high, he is only an official rank from the fourth rank. However, due to the fact that Jinhua Mansion is located in the main traffic artery and has a superior geographical location, this prefect is also considered a fat shortage, and I don't know how many people are eyeing and coveting it.
In February, or the cold spring, how difficult will it be for those who are homeless, and how will they get by? The night is especially difficult.
Early on the morning of the second day of the fire, to everyone's surprise, the yamen had not yet taken action to express anything. Yang Lin of Yang Mansion took the lead in donating dozens of tents and a number of quilts free of charge. Although these things are far from solving the urgent needs of the huge number of disaster victims, the effect of emergency relief is not great.
However, Yang Lin's move, this high-profile gesture, played a leading role and reminded everyone. Soon, the residents of Jinhua Mansion responded to Yang Lin's action, donating money if they had money, donating old clothes if they had old clothes, and doing what they could to help the victims get through the difficulties.
However, some wealthy businessmen and tycoons in Jinhua Mansion did not take any action, they were unkind to the rich, they did not say anything, and watched all this with cold eyes in silence.
It wasn't until three days after the fire broke out that everyone knew that Yang Fu was also one of the victims. Moreover, the losses are still very large. Because the thirteen storage warehouses of the Yang Mansion were burned down and cleaned. Under such circumstances, Yang Lin can still do such a good deed, and the people in the city are very moved, especially those who are affected by the disaster, and they are grateful.
Who can hide such a big fire? Who can hold it down?
Therefore, the news soon reached the ears of the Governor of Liangjiang, and the Governor immediately sent a commissioner to deal with the matter, urging Hong Antong to formulate a strategy to appease the people. At the same time, the fire also spread to the capital, thousands of miles away, alarming the current Jiaqing Emperor and Emperor Qianlong.
Soon after the fire, some people in Jinhua Mansion were very shrewd. In retrospect, I noticed that there was a trace of abnormality, and the place where the fire broke out was all the area of the Yang Mansion's warehouse, which was really a coincidence.
These people live in the courtyard of a deep house, experience vicissitudes of life, go back and forth in the battle for the shopping mall, and see all kinds of conspiracies. As a result, their nerves were extraordinarily sensitive, and they were able to sense something unusual, and immediately began to think quietly, trying to find something from the fire and verify what they thought.
Soon, some people saw a hint from the thirteen fires this time, and then thought of the price hike a few days ago, an invisible hand wantonly bought goods and hoarded goods. They thought about it a lot, and the more they thought about it, the more shocked and shocked they became.
Thinking of this, those people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, there was a chill behind them, who was so big in the dark? He acted so ruthlessly, without any regard for human life or the livelihood of others.
At the same time, it is still the restaurant, or the box, which is already full of delicious food, elixir and jade, and the sound of joy is endless, shouting happily and celebrating something.
I saw Yang Chengzhi's thirteen bodies shaking, their expressions were confused, but they were very excited. Threes and threes gathered together, toasted each other, and celebrated excitedly with each other.
Gradually, everyone was drunk and hazy, they were already drunk, and the wine was overflowing, and it was difficult to hide the comfort in their hearts.
"Patriarch, I really admire your quick thinking and thinking of such a high and wonderful method. Just one blow, just one blow, completely defeated that kid, there was no power to fight back, and he could find out the person behind him. Although the way is a little ruthless, it is really happy, too happy, very relieving! ”
"That's right, the so-called small amount is not a gentleman, no poison is not a husband, and the patriarch acts as a big husband. Hehe, this counterattack is cool, cool to the bones! ”
"Haha, I think the person behind that kid is going to deal with it? How do you do business without storing goods? How do I complete the Summer Imperial Court Special? ”
"The patriarch is wise, as long as we have a firm grasp of this batch of goods in our hands, we can control their shortcomings, I am not afraid that they will not comply, I am not afraid that they will not give in to most of the business in their hands, and hand it over to us, otherwise ~~ hehe!"
"That's it~ that is, you can't hand over the special supply, see how they make a difference? Delaying the royal offering is a big crime to kill the head, don't be afraid that he won't bow his head~! ”
