"Do you dare to deny it? If someone hadn't called me over to take a look, I wouldn't have known that the house I had just bought two days ago would have burned to the ground! You are the one who rents the house, who will pay if I don't ask you for compensation? Xu Jin caught a glimpse of Xu Xun coming out of it at a glance, and his voice suddenly became louder, "There are so many houses, you have walked away from the water here, do you know if you mean to make it bad?" ”

Although Xu Liang is poor, he lives here and gets along well with the nearby neighbors, seeing that his face is so red that he can't speak, Aunt Su can't look past it, so she persuaded next to him: "Third young master, the good old man is not at home, and he is not a ...... with a heart."

"Isn't it intentional? Is it true that your house has been burned down? Xu Jin pointed at Xu Liang viciously, and said word by word, "Young Master Ben still has the deed to buy the house, and if you give me the one hundred and twenty yuan, I will let you go." What if you can't pay it out...... Then go to the yamen and speak! ”

Speaking of this, he caught a glimpse of Xu Xun coming forward, and immediately said with a smile: "Of course, I heard that you are the life-saving benefactor of the seventh brother, and the seventh brother will probably not watch you go to the lawsuit, if he is willing to write off this account for you, I have nothing to say!" All in all, it is only natural to repay debts, not to mention that you have almost affected other neighbors in this Taipingli! Oh, by the way, I remember that according to the law, it seems that a fire will be punished with flogging! ”

Listening to Xu Jin's words, the more proud he became, Xu Xun stepped forward unhurriedly, and said casually: "It is indeed natural to repay debts, but tonight's fire is really strange." It's going to be a hot day, and I don't know who piled up countless firewood in that yard, but I'm afraid that the fire won't be strong enough! If you set fire and you want to be flogged, you don't know what kind of crime this arson should be? ”

Seeing the uproar of the crowd of onlookers from all directions, Xu Jin couldn't help but be annoyed and angry, and shouted: "You saw someone arson with that eye!" ”

"Did I just say that someone set fire to it tonight?" Xu Xun saw that Xu Liang's face suddenly turned blue when he heard this, and he quietly took a diagonal step in front of him, "Is the third brother a thief?" ”

"You ......"

Xu Jin was about to scold, but when he saw people from all directions, thinking that the fact that he had spent a lot of money on buying a house before was rumored, it was because he fell for Xu Xun, and even more so when he bought a painting, this time he had to press down his anger and only snorted lightly: "Don't just care about playing your mouth, we will see the real chapter in the yamen!" ”

Leaving these words, he gestured at the two little guys, turned his head and left violently. Xu Xun saw that the onlookers were pushing him, so he gave way for him to pass, and the surname Suo took advantage of this time to make a gesture on all sides, and then said loudly: "Thanks to everyone working together to extinguish the fire tonight, I thank you here!" ”

Even if the seventh young master of the Xu family has a bad reputation, but at this time, the people who have just exerted their strength have more or less dozens of dollars in their hands, and at this moment, there are people who are in a hurry to respond. Xu Jin, who walked not far away, turned around when he heard the sound, and saw Xu Xun patting his chest there again and saying that he wanted to invite the neighbors who contributed tonight to eat and drink, and suddenly spit on the root of the wall.

"Loser, I see how much money you can squander!"

The two little guys looked at me, and one of them stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Young master, do you want to go and say hello to Jiang Yimu of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division again?" ”

"What do you say hello, you don't think you showed your face enough tonight!" Xu Jin glared at the little guy who was talking, and then scolded and said, "It's all the two of you who are not doing things properly, otherwise how could you let that loser see the flaws!" Hmph, forgive him for not being able to impress the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses, Xu Liang's forty small boards don't want to run! ”

Xu Xun made a wish to invite everyone to eat and drink, and the neighbors who had been busy for half the night naturally dispersed. There was still a burning smell on the dark street, and only the lantern in Wu Shouzheng's hand was still illuminated. Even if there is nothing to do with him, he still salivates and follows Xu Xun all the time, as if he is a follower.

Knowing that the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division had to be sent away, Wu Shouzheng had to try to keep Xu Xun even if he didn't keep him, so he wouldn't care about him at this time, so he invited Aunt Su to go to her yard to inform Jin Liu's sister-in-law that she was cooking hot tea and making some snacks, and turned her head and was about to ask Xu Liang and Huitong where they were at night.

It's fighting the fire and checking again, and the seven or eight people are all disgraced, and there must be some scolding when they come out at this time. As soon as he saw Xu Liang and Huitong, Jiang Yimu, who was the leader, stepped forward angrily and sneered: "A few of us and the neighbors have been busy for most of the night, and you are the main master, and the shelf is not small!" Where did you go so night, do you know if you have violated the night ban? ”

Xu Liang was about to speak, but was stopped by Xu Xun. Seeing that those soldiers were all disgraced, he said with a smile: "Jiang Ye and the eldest brothers have also worked hard, I have asked the family to prepare hot tea and snacks, you wash your face first, then drink hot tea and eat something to slow down, and the rest of the things will be talked about later, okay?" ”

Jiang Yimu remembered that today thanks to Xu Xun's righteousness and squandering money, so the neighbors enthusiastically contributed, this fire was extinguished in time, and he saved a lot of money, plus he took people's money, he showed hesitation for a while. At this time, Xu Xun approached him again, and quietly handed over something without a trace, he took it into his hands and weighed it, and found that it was a piece of silver that was nearly two taels, and the look on his face immediately relaxed, but he looked at Xu Liang and then at Huitong.

"Seventh Young Master, then I'll sell you face." He paused, then lowered his voice and said, "There are too many people who have seen this burning situation, and the monk is implicated, and it is easy to be accommodating, but the old man Xu Liang must be brought back later." I have to say this ugly thing in front of me, the law is bigger than the sky, I can't help it, the seventh young master will bear with me. ”

The words of others were polite, and Xu Xun arched his hand and thanked him. After a while, Aunt Su, who came out of Xu Xun's house, came out with Ruisheng struggling to carry a heavy food box, and Jiang Yimu couldn't help but shout at his subordinates to eat and drink. At this time, Xu Xun looked at Xu Liang and asked, "Uncle, the firewood in your yard is already there?" ”

"Seeing that summer is about to begin, I am not full of food, how can I pile such things at home!"

Xu Liang looked at his house, which was almost burned to the ground, and couldn't help but punch the wall on the side. I heard a thud, and the low wall seemed to tremble slightly. Wu Shouzheng, who was carrying a lantern on the side, saw that the two bricks fell, and in shock, he saw that the old man's fist seemed to be broken and bloody, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly persuaded on the side: "Things are all out, and it is useless to say these words." Or think about how to deal with the aftermath. ”

"Aftermath?" Even Huitong, who is usually said to be a hippie smile, his face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water at this moment, he raised his eyebrows and sneered, "It's not like I've never seen Feiyang, but it's the first time I've seen such a bold one." This is the Imperial City and the Thousand Steps Corridor, although it is separated by a moat, but if the wind turns to float to the Mars, then it is not a flogging rod that can be mixed up! The one who burns the palace on fire is hanging! ”

"You don't play with your statutes, no one treats you as dumb!"

Xu Liang interrupted Monk Huitong impatiently, looking at the scorched ruins, his face showed an unconcealable anger, and then he looked at Xu Xun and said: "Trouble Brother Xun to give the monk a house and let him stay tonight, his house was burned down by my yard, it's none of his business." One person does things and one person does it, and I will go back with those military masters of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses. I have thick flesh and thick skin, I don't care about the forty small boards, and when I'm done, I'll go to the imperial city to beat the drum! The emperor is far away in the capital, and the six departments of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not all be deaf and dumb! ”

"Xu Ba, don't go crazy!" Monk Huitong was really startled, and hurriedly pressed his shoulder with one hand, "You don't have any evidence, and you don't have the reason to beat the drum if you want to sue, and besides, the matter is really big, it may not necessarily be as you wish......" After a few words of persuasion, seeing that Xu Xun was just silent, he couldn't help but sink his face, "Xu Qishao, you also persuade Xu Ba to me, you can't afford to go wrong!" ”

"It's not that far, uncle, let's go to the Nancheng Terracotta Division first, and I'll do the next."

Hearing this, although Xu Liang didn't believe it, seeing Xu Xun's sincere face, he nodded dejectedly after all. Although Huitong was a little surprised by Xu Xun's all-encompassing attitude, he still didn't ask after thinking about it. It was Wu Shouzheng who was busy all night, and when he heard this, he remembered the scene upstairs in Qingping, and felt more and more that he had finally done the right thing with such a toss for half the night, so he didn't wait for Xu Xun to speak, he went to Jiang Yimu and the others who were eating and drinking over there, and greeted the money again one by one, and then turned back with Jiang Yimu again.

Busy and busy, but this night has gained a lot of money, Jiang Yimu's attitude is naturally quite polite, and he arched his hand at Xu Xun and smiled: "Seventh son, this fire has been burned so much that everyone nearby has seen it, and I have to take it back." As for the flogging, I will definitely ask the commander for a favor when I turn around, but whether I can really ask for it depends on the commander's decision. ”

"Thank you Jiang Ye. If it is difficult to speak on the peak, I can delay it for a few days when I only ask for flogging, I am grateful. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!"

After taking care of everything, when he finally returned home and lay down, Xu Xun thoughtfully reached out and put his hand on the door of his head, and suddenly reached out and touched the big red thorn of Fu Rong in his arms.

Xu Liang just went out and wanted to beat the drum, after all, it was a momentary anger. But the Xu family room has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they dare to do such outrageous things, do they have any other basis? Originally, he just wanted to rely on fabricating the imaginary Shibo, supplemented by follow-up means, and gradually bring back his disadvantage of being helpless in the clan, but now he got Fu Rong's famous assassination by mistake, and he took a picture with the little uncle of the Wei State Mansion, and when he returned home, he encountered a fire......

That's a lot of confusion!
