The fire burned for three hours, during which the disciples of the various sects desperately rescued the injured and sick refugees in the fire, but the fire was ruthless, still engulfed countless lives and gone, when the fire was finally extinguished, the half-small man in the fire finally collapsed, she knelt on the ground, tears flowed down uncontrollably, at that moment, her mood seemed to return to ten years ago, the pain and despair, she experienced it again, not only that, at this time, her whole body was trembling, it was not only grief, but also infinite anger.

Liu Wuyue was behind her, wiped her tears, walked to Ban Xiaoman's side, pressed her shoulder, Ban Xiaoman fainted, Liu Wuyue hugged her, looked at Zheng Lin and others beside her, and said: "Ten years ago, she was also a part of the refugees, and her parents died in that disaster, maybe we can't understand her current mood, I took her to rest, as for what caused the fire, I hope you can give an explanation after she wakes up, please." ”

Liu Wuyue's words reminded everyone, everyone patronized the fire, but forgot the cause of the fire, it is autumn, and it is a fire in the middle of the night, it is impossible to be unreasonable, thinking of this, everyone hurriedly ran to the source of the fire, hoping to find some clues, just arrived at the source of the fire, everyone covered their noses, obviously, there is a pungent smell here, Hua Xiaohua wiped away her tears, looked around, and said.

"Brimstone... It is clear that this fire was man-made, who the hell was so cruel, why did it kill the unarmed refugees! ”

Everyone looked around carefully, and suddenly, remembering the old man with a fire fold in his hand that was about to burn out, he frowned: "Sure enough, it's artificial, I think, we need some help." ”

After speaking, Yi Jiunian pulled out the dream flute on his waist, and played a strange melody at the foot of the mountain, suddenly, a scorpion crawled out of the crack in the stone, Yi Lao Nian manipulated the holy scorpion, and slowly walked towards the source of the fire, the holy scorpion stayed at the source of the fire for a while, and then began to climb to the northeast, everyone followed, and after a while, the holy scorpion stopped by the moat, and looked around at the old year, and said.

"Here the arsonist got on the boat and left, to find a raft."

In less than half an hour, everyone put the finished raft in the water, remembering the old year and letting the holy scorpion stay at the front of the raft, while the others were responsible for driving the raft, remembering the old years and sitting next to the holy scorpion, constantly directing everyone to go. However, because of the long time, the holy scorpion has misjudged the direction several times, and the moat of Chang'an City has intersected with many other places, so everyone has been around for about four or five hours, and the holy scorpion has only looked back to remember the old year.

Yi Jiunian looked up at the position where everyone stopped, which happened to be next to the west gate of Chang'an City, he gave Fan Yang a look, and the latter understood what he meant, and then Fan Yang walked to the west gate guard alone and asked: "Between yesterday and ugly, can anyone enter and leave the city?" ”

The guard shook his head and said, "I don't know, we changed shifts at the time of Chenshi, it was Xiao Zhou and their group who were on duty last night, adults can go and ask them, and according to the regulations, the west city gate is closed before the time, there should be no one in and out, I don't know what happened to the adults?" ”

Fan Yang smiled: "It's nothing, just ask, I'll ask Xiao Zhou and them." ”

Entering Chang'an City, Fan Yang walked straight to the place where the officers and soldiers guarding the city lived, and also successfully found the officers and soldiers guarding the city last night, when they recalled, one of them said: "I vaguely remember, after closing the west gate, about two minutes before the ugly hour, someone shouted to open the door, when the general of the city was talking to them on the city tower, I seemed to hear the general of the city calling one of the people Cao Gongzi, and then a few of us were called away by the general to patrol, and the others did not know." ”

After Fan Yang left, he went to find Zheng Lin and others, they chose to stay away from the woods at the West City Gate, Fan Yang analyzed: "From the mouth of the guards, I guessed some, they heard Cao Gongzi, if my guess is right, it must be Cao Xiu, the son of Lord Shilang, and the general of the city guard specially let the guards go on patrol, it is obvious that Cao Xiu instructed that he can enter and exit Chang'an City late at night, and there is only the son of Lord Shilang, and no one with the surname Cao has such power." ”

Zheng Lin looked at Fan Yang and said, "Did they know about the fact that we built the refugee camp on our own initiative?" But even so, they don't have to take such cruel animal behavior, it's all human life! How can they bear it? ”

Fan Yang was silent, it was useless for him to say anything at this time, Cao Xiu did this, whether it had anything to do with Cao Jianfei or not, all the major sects would put an account on his head, although the people in the rivers and lakes would not be able to get along with the court on the surface, but this matter has already made a big fuss, what he is worried about now is whether the major sects will get angry and be unfavorable to Chang'an City, now the external situation is so grim, if there are internal worries at this time, Datang is in danger.

Now he can clearly see that Zheng Lin and the others are already angry, and he has no choice but to persuade everyone to go back to discuss first, and when the leaders of the various gate factions learned the news, everyone's reaction was the same, and they were angry! Xuan Ku took the name recorded in his hand and said, "Master Fan! Do you know that this fire took nearly 500 lives! What a tragedy! The imperial court doesn't care about the refugees, let the refugees go, we can't control it, but now we are so easy to build a refugee camp and save so many lives, and the imperial court has to make a hindrance from it. ”

The other sects also expressed their anger and attitude, there must be an explanation for this matter, otherwise they will have to act according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, and at that time, how can Chang'an City be peaceful? In desperation, Fan Yang had no choice but to appease everyone's emotions first, and at the same time said that he would negotiate with Cao Jianfei, hoping to have an explanation.

After noon, Fan Yang entered Chang'an City, and Ban Xiaoman also woke up at this time, when Liu Wuyue told her the truth, Ban Xiaoman's eyelids moved slightly, although he didn't speak, Liu Wuyue could feel her anger at this time, and it seemed that she would explode at any time. But Ban Xiaoman is very smart, she pretended to tell Liu Wuyue that she was fine, but what she thought in her heart was another plan, and it was a plan that she could not question, after eating something casually, Ban Xiaoman sat alone on the hill near the refugee camp, looking at the distance in a daze.

"Liu Xi... Sister, can you hear me? I cherish the fact that you saved my life at the beginning, and I dare not let myself die, but this time, I can't persuade myself to give up this idea, even if I am broken, I can't easily let this matter pass. Seeing these refugees, I thought of my own life in the past ten years, many hardships, and they are like my relatives, now... But he was cruelly taken away, how do you tell me to endure it! ”

Ban Xiaoman touched her Aoshuang knife, her eyelids still kept shaking, which was a sign of her extreme anger, and at this time, she had already made up her mind, carried the Aoshuang knife on her back, and quietly left the refugee camp.
