The sudden sound of the gong attracted the attention of the pedestrians on the street, and Chu Huan was surprised when he heard a cry from inside: "Oh no,." Oh no, it's out of water...... Come and put out the fire......! ”

Chu Huan's face changed slightly, at this time, people had already leaned towards the door of the Rebirth Hall, Chu Huan had already seen the fire in the Rebirth Hall, the dim sky was already red at this time, and the smoke was rising into the sky like a demonic aura, and the courtyard was already noisy, and there were few pedestrians on the street who really went to find water to put out the fire, but they were crowded on the street in front of the Rebirth Hall, and the figures were longing, as if they were waiting to see the excitement.

This fire came very suddenly, at this moment, Chu Huan heard a sound of footsteps behind him, turned his head, and saw seven or eight Wu Jingwei coming from the street, and the leader was fast, and when the person approached, Chu Huan felt that the leader was very familiar, and the armor was also extremely familiar, and suddenly remembered that the armor seemed to be the armor of the general banner of Wujing Wei Xicheng.

Chu Huan only felt that the person was familiar, and he didn't recognize it for a while, the man led Wu Jingwei to walk quickly past Chu Huan, suddenly stopped, turned his head, and showed surprise on his face, and actually bowed his hand to Chu Huan: "Lord Chu!" ”

Chu Huan was stunned, but at this time, he completely saw the outline of the man's face, thought about it, remembered it, and said with some surprise: "Hey, are you Ma Yunwei?" ”

The man had already smiled and said, "Lord Chu has a good memory, and he can still remember me." ”

This person Chu Huan has already remembered, his name is Ma Zhongheng, Chu Huan had passed three levels in the Iron Blood Garden, one of which was equestrian, and his opponent was Ma Zhongheng, the cloud captain of the guards in front of him.

Ma Zhongheng is a native of Liaodong Dao, with superb equestrian skills, if it wasn't for Chu Huan's subtlety, he might not have been able to win the horse race, but Chu Huan was very surprised at this time, he remembered that Ma Zhongheng was the general of Xuanyuan Shao, the commander of the Guards, but how did this general of the Guards put on the armor of Wu Jingwei.

Ma Zhongheng observed his words, but seemed to have understood Chu Huan's doubts, and had already explained: "Lord Chu, the last general is no longer on an errand in the Guards now, not long ago, he was transferred to Wujingwei, and now he is the general banner of Wujingwei Xicheng, and he is ...... familiar with the environment of Xicheng these days!" He turned his head and glanced at the Rebirth Hall, frowned, and said, "Lord Chu, there seems to be a mess here!" ”

Chu Huan nodded and said, "It seems to be on fire inside." At this time, I learned that after Zhang Douli, the general banner of Wujingwei Xicheng, failed to rebel with An Guogong, the vacant position of the general banner of Xicheng was obtained by Ma Zhongheng.

He vaguely remembered that when he was in Tongtian Temple, An Guogong rebelled, and later the Guards entered Tongtian Temple to quell the rebellion, and this Ma Zhongheng participated in the battle to quell the rebellion that night.

Wu Jingwei has always been in the hands of Huang Tiandu before, as one of the twelve guards, Wu Jingwei, and even some soldiers followed Huang Tiandu to participate in the rebellion of Tongtian Palace, after quelling the chaos, Chu Huan did not pay too much attention to the personnel transfer on Wu Jingwei's side, but now it seems that Wu Jingwei has indeed undergone a ** blood exchange.

According to common sense, there is a vacancy in Wu Jingwei's official position, which is naturally filled by Wu Jingwei's people, but such an important position as the Xicheng General Banner was held by Ma Zhongheng, who was originally a general of the Guards, which also shows that the emperor has no trust in Wu Jingwei, and he directly sent his own royal guard generals to take over important positions.

Ma Zhongheng claimed to be familiar with the environment of Xicheng, but it is also reasonable, he is a foreign general, if you want to suppress the soldiers of Wu Jingwei, get the support of his subordinates, and personally lead the troops to patrol the streets, it is not a bad way, even if it is a show, he will always get some favor from his subordinates.

"It seems like a place to sell slaves." Ma Zhongheng frowned and said, "How could there be a sudden fire?" He waved his hand and said, "Let's go in with Ben and take a look." ”

Chu Huan had already said: "Mr. Ma, this official is also a little curious, how about going in with you to take a look?" ”

Ma Zhongheng arched his hand and said: "I can't ask for it." He led everyone over, a soldier had already stepped forward to drive a road in the crowd, Chu Huan followed Wu Jingwei into the courtyard, the people in the courtyard saw that it was Wu Jingwei coming, naturally they didn't dare to stop it, Ma Zhongheng walked quickly along the place of the fire, and soon turned to the place of the fire, Chu Huan saw the place of the fire, his eyebrows were squeezed together, he had felt that this fire was very strange before, and at this time he had seen clearly that the place where the fire was fired was Huls's account room.

Chu Huan remembered that Huls's body was still inside, at this time the people of the Rebirth Hall were fighting the fire, there were two wells in the Rebirth Hall, and there was no shortage of water, even so, when the fire was gradually extinguished, the houses in the courtyard had been burned to pieces, the broken bricks and ruins, the black smoke was still wafting, and the smell of burning was even more coming.

The Wujing guards had already called a man from the Rebirth Hall to inquire about the situation, and several other Wujing guards had already entered the courtyard to observe the scene.

"This fire started out of nowhere." The man was apprehensive: "The fire is spreading too fast, and when we find out, it is already a raging fire!" ”

"Lord Banner, burn people." A Wu Jingwei quickly came out of the courtyard, "There is a burned corpse that is not human-shaped. ”

"Do you know who that is?" Ma Zhongheng asked the man.

"This is the account office of our Hulsdong family." The guy explained, "No one can go in except the owner. ”

"You're saying it was Hules who burned to death?"

"I'm not sure if it's small."

Chu Huan was able to determine that the charred corpse was naturally Hu Lus, but Hu Lu was not burned to death, but had been killed by a deadly poison needle before the fire burned.

The stench of burning was in the courtyard, and light smoke wafted between the broken bricks, and the fire was basically extinguished, except for the scattered small flames still crackling.

The charred corpse has been carried to the courtyard, the corpse exudes a scorching smell, the skin and flesh are charred, and the clothes have already been burned to ashes, Chu Huan frowned and approached the past, he didn't have time to look at Huls's chest in order to chase the assassin just now, and at this time he wanted to see if there was a "swastika" character, but he was no longer visible, the skin on Huls's chest was charred black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

If it was just a fire, Wu Jingwei would naturally not make a big move, but at this moment, it was a human life, Ma Zhongheng's face became solemn, and after the guys next to him finally determined that the body was Huls, Ma Zhongheng said to Chu Huan, who had been silent next to him: "Lord Chu, this matter is really a little strange, Huls people are tall and big, and they seem to have a lot of strength, how could they be burned alive in the house?" Even if it was really on fire, with his strength, it would not be difficult to break through the door. ”

Chu Huan looked at Ma Zhongheng and asked, "Ma Zongqi thinks that this Huls was not burned to death?" ”

Ma Zhongheng said: "It's just a little unreasonable. He went to the shattered house that had been burned, and Chu Huan also followed, his eyes had already fallen on the frame, but at this moment, he suddenly found that the frame had not been destroyed by the fire, but the peacock picture on the frame had disappeared.

"What is this?" Ma Zhongheng poked out his finger and dipped it on the ground, a trace of red particles stuck to his finger, Chu Huan saw that the peacock diagram had disappeared, and knew that he was really unlucky today, not only was a useful living mouth killed under his nose, but he also returned the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and took the peacock diagram away, leaving no longer any clues, Chu Huan was a little depressed, but when he heard Ma Zhongheng's voice, he still turned his head, walked to Ma Zhongheng's side, and squatted down, Seeing a small place on the ground covered with small red particles, he also stuck some fingers, then put his fingers horizontally in front of his eyes, looked at them carefully for a moment, and finally said, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the red tree!" ”

"Akatsuki?" Ma Zhongheng frowned slightly, as if he hadn't heard of it.

Chu Huan said: "Chijiao should only be produced in the northwest, and the mineral deposits are very few, and the price is ......!" He thought for a moment, and Ma Zhongheng had already asked, "How can there be such a thing on this earth?" ”

"Red Flame Fuels Fire." Chu Huan explained simply and clearly: "Even if it is a spark, as long as you add a red fire, you can make the fire burn in an instant, and the biggest effect of the red flame is to increase the temperature of the flame ......!" ”

Ma Zhongheng's eyes were a little dazed.

"Actually, it's very simple, if an ordinary flame can burn wood, but not steel, but with the addition of a red fire, the fire can burn steel." Chu Huan pointed to Huls's corpse, "You see that a lot of his skin and flesh have been burned to ashes, and even the bones are exposed, in such a short period of time, ordinary flames do not have such an effect...... It was burned like this for a short time, and it was the red flame that played a role. ”

Ma Zhongheng said: "The last general was still thinking just now, it is really unlikely that such a strong person will be trapped in the house and burned alive, it seems that he was really harmed." ”

A Wu Jingwei next to him said in a low voice: "My lord, Hu Les is in the slave business, and he has a wide range of contacts, but there must be a lot of enemies, for so many years, it is inevitable that there will be enemies waiting for opportunities, maybe the enemies will come to the door." ”

Ma Zhongheng waved his hand and said, "It's hard to determine how he died." Go to the people of Luo'an Mansion and ask them to send someone to investigate the matter. ”

Wu Jingwei is responsible for the security of the capital, and when he really encounters a case, he is responsible for handling it by Luo'an Mansion, and after Luo'an Mansion intervenes in the case, if the case is too big, it will be handed over to the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Chu Huan got up and said, "Mr. Ma, this official will leave first, it's really disturbing." ”

"What did Lord Chu say?" Ma Zhongheng smiled and instructed his subordinates, "Leave a few people to guard the scene, wait until the people from Luo'an Mansion come over, and hand them over." Only then did he say to Chu Huan: "The last general will send Lord Chu." ”

The two of them left the Rebirth Hall, and after saying goodbye, Chu Huan left along the long street with a lot of heart, and didn't go far when he heard a voice next to him shouting: "Lord Chu, why are you here?" ”
