Cao Ji'an was anxious and yelled: "Then why don't you send someone to put out the fire quickly?" What are you doing here? ”

The patrol said urgently: "The villain can't move, the fire is very big...... Manpower, not enough manpower! ”

Cao Ji'an understood, on this side of Ronghuaxuan, in addition to the two teams of more than 20 people who guarded the courtyard of the lady and prevented the thief from approaching, there were nearly 200 people surrounding the thief.

There was no garrison of the city, and there were a total of 250 guards in the county guard. In normal times, this is a huge number.

But there was a clever thief, and in order to catch the thief, of course he had to transfer all the guards from other places. Only a few remained, and some remained in their respective posts, each performing their duties.

Now that Cuihuaxuan is on the water, there are already few people at each post, let alone moving, and of course there are not enough manpower.

Cuihuaxuan is so big, if the fire is too fierce, what is the use of those servants and servants?

There is a concubine in the eighteenth room of the county guard, and she is also his favorite one, because of her favor, good things are sent there.

Cao Ji'an knows very well that the most important things in this county guard mansion are Ronghuaxuan and Cuihuaxuan, and there can be accidents in other places, and these two places must be guarded.

Thieves patronize only for money and jewelry. The county keeper has a lot of money, and there are also a lot of jewelry, so it doesn't matter if there are one or two pieces less, besides, this thief was discovered early, and it's hard to say if he doesn't succeed.

After weighing the two, Cao Ji'an immediately ordered: "Except for the patrol team to stay with me to catch this thief, everyone hurry up to Cuihuaxuan to put out the fire!" ”

The guards who had been ordered hurriedly ran to Cuihuaxuan, and the guards here also followed Cao Ji'an to intercept Huangfu Jingchen.

But when everyone was there just now, there was no way to take Huangfu Jingchen, not to mention that there were only two teams of people now?

Cao Ji'an's mouth cracked, and the blood entered the cloth wrapped around the hilt, wet, although he was holding on to his knife, the pain was unbearable.

He himself was timid, shouting and commanding, but he did not come forward, and those patrolmen were not as skilled as him, and they could not stop people.

Huangfu Jingchen knew that it must not be an accident for Cuihuaxuan to go to the water, and he didn't know who helped him, but no matter who it was, it must have been done secretly, and he dragged some people here, and also bought more time for the person who set the fire.

What's more, now these patrol guards are all thinking about fighting the fire, and they are jumping around regardless of the tail. He simply turned around, and rampaged among these people who were about to rush to Cuihuaxuan, punching and kicking, and being able to stop one person was one person, and being able to stop one person was one time.

Those people got Cao Ji'an's order, and they didn't dare to fight, and thousands of chickens scattered out of the cage.

After all, Huangfu Jingchen is a one-person force, and he can't stop so many people, not to mention that there is a team of patrols left to deal with him.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, he chased after Cao Ji'an.

Cao Ji'an scolded in his heart, seeing that the other party's spearhead was pointing directly at him, he neither dared not to escape, nor did he dare to flee blatantly.

There was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping in Ronghua Xuan, until a quarter of an hour later, Huangfu Jingchen felt that the time was almost up, so he saw the opportunity, kicked over the two people, flashed, and disappeared after disappearing into the shadow of the flower tree.

Those patrols wanted to chase, Cao Ji'an said angrily: "What are you chasing?" Let's go and see how the fire in Cuihuaxuan is going! If something happens to the eighteenth lady, we will all have to go around without eating! Don't go yet! ”

It's all a bunch of stupid pigs, they can't catch up and can't beat them, what are you tossing and tossing?

Those patrols were played hard by Huangfu Jingchen just now, many of them were punched and kicked, and they lay on the ground with injuries, thinking about it, it seems that it is safer to fight fires, and Ba has to chase them!

After a big circle in the patrol mansion, Huangfu Jingchen returned to the courtyard, first to see who would set the fire on Cuihuaxuan. If the man hasn't gotten out yet, he's a good helper.

Second, it is also to prevent being secretly followed, so in a circle, the person who is tracking will inevitably show his feet, and he can get rid of it smoothly, so as not to bring trouble to this small courtyard.

The fire in Cuihuaxuan was very large, and the screams of the maids inside, the sound of the roof beams falling, and the crackling sound of the fire were intertwined, and there was chaos.

A young woman in bedclothes, surrounded by a group of servants, with her hair scattered and embarrassed, was scolding her servants to hurry up and rescue her treasure.

This must be the eighteenth lady in Cao Ji'an's mouth, she seems to be less than twenty years old, and she looks very beautiful, no wonder she is deeply favored by Wang Junshou.

Cao Ji'an also just arrived, and was pulling a patrol guard to ask: "Why do you know how to go to the water?" Isn't there a thief arson? ”

The patrol guard was one of the people who had been on duty in Cuihuaxuan before, and hurriedly replied: "I didn't see anyone, the fire suddenly started." I waited until I saw the smoke coming, and the fire was already big, so I sent someone to report to you. ”

Hearing that it might be an accident, Cao Ji'an breathed a sigh of relief, if there were another thieves who set fire, he, the person in charge of the safety of the county guard, would really be on an errand this time.

He hurriedly shouted: "Do your best to put out the fire, if you don't hurry, ...... quickly."

The patrol guards, together with Cao Ji'an, were all bent on saving people and putting out fires, and Huangfu Jingchen sneaked over quietly, but no one found him.

He didn't go through the door, but leaped sideways from the wall, and landed beautifully in the wall.

However, when he entered the hospital, he felt that something was wrong.

There was a flash of determination in his eyes, and after a slight pause, he quickly moved his body and found a few more marks.

Also, in Xia Wenjin's room, the window is open.

Although that kid is a scoundrel and doesn't have a face, he is very cautious in doing things, what is he doing with the window open in the middle of the night? Haven't you returned yet?

I didn't go back and wouldn't open the window, there are traces of outsiders breaking in, did someone go to her room?

Isn't it for that ledger?

Huangfu Jingchen was puzzled, and he didn't bother to go back to the room, so he sneaked under Xia Wenjin's window first, listened carefully, and the room was quiet.

He came back too late, and even if there was a thief, he was afraid that he would have already left.

However, Huangfu Jingchen still climbed in through the window.

Before his feet hit the ground, he felt a shock in his heart, and there was a smell of blood in the room!

He shook the fire fold, lit the candlestick on the wall, turned around, and suddenly, his face changed drastically, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the fire fold fell to the ground.

Behind the table, Xia Wenjin was lying on the ground, his waist and neck were covered with blood, his eyes were wide open, and he was silent......

Huangfu Jingchen is not worried about Xia Wenjin's safety, that kid is as slippery as a loach, and when a thief meets her, he will only suffer a loss.

But the scene in front of him hit his heart hard, he almost didn't believe his eyes, hurriedly rushed over, held her shoulders, and whispered: "Xia Wenjin, Xia Wenjin......"

Xia Wenjin's body hung softly, moving with his shaking movements.

There was a moment of blankness in Huangfu Jingchen's mind.

The scene in front of him made him a little unable to believe his eyes.

Xia Wenjin...... He's dead?
