The prisoners pushed and trampled on each other, some fell to their deaths in the flames, and some were shot and killed by the guards for trying to escape, which was truly an unprecedented disaster.

The speed of the fire is obviously not as fast as the speed of the fire spreading, the fire is burning, and the guards have been blocked from the sea of fire, and can only slowly extinguish the fire from the outside.

As for the innermost prisoners in the cell, most of them are extremely vicious death row inmates, and they are going to die after all, and the guards don't want to care, but in the panic, none of them noticed that He Muwan was still in the fire.

It wasn't until Xiao Tong heard the sound and rushed to command the guards of Dali Temple to fight the fire while evacuating and guarding the prisoners, that everyone's actions slowly became orderly.

No longer as flustered as before, the guard in charge of guarding suddenly remembered that in the chaos, he seemed to see He Muwan walking in, looking around, but he didn't find He Muwan's figure.

"Oops!" couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, the guard walked up to Xiao Tong and arched his hand: "Lord Xiao, Princess Ruiling seems to have gone in just now, and she hasn't come out yet!" ”

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier? Xiao was in a hurry, and he wanted to go in and save people.

When human life is at stake, it is often the best reflection of a person's temperament, looking at Xiao Tong's nervous appearance, it doesn't look like a completely ruthless person, or perhaps, he is just afraid that He Muwan will have an accident and he will be blamed.

The fire was too big, Xiao Tong had just raised his feet and walked two steps inside, and he was blocked by the fire, his face was helpless, Xiao Tong stared at the fire in front of him and frowned.

As he was thinking about countermeasures, he suddenly saw a figure flash in front of him, and without saying a word, he rushed directly into the sea of fire.

In the depths of the cell, He Muwan had already reached a dilemma, but she didn't notice it at all, and she hadn't found He Hong yet, she was full of anxiety, and she still tried to avoid the fire and move forward with difficulty.

With a "click", the beam above the cell was burned, and the thick wooden rod with flames smashed directly towards He Muwan's body.

Sensing the danger at last, she looked up and saw the bright yellow light of the fire reflected in her frightened eyes, but she had no time to dodge.

In the flash of lightning, someone suddenly pulled her into his arms, and at the same time stretched out his arm to block the top of her head.

The wooden stick with fire smashed on the man's arm, and then "clanged" to the ground, burned by the fire, the man couldn't help frowning in pain, but at this time, he couldn't care about his pain at all.

"Come with me!" Bei Mingchen's voice fell, and he was about to go out with He Muwan, but in a hurry, he had already forgotten his identity as a prince and called himself me.

"No, I'm not leaving, my dad is still inside, I'm going to save him!" He Muwan struggled to get rid of the shackles of men, as a child, how could she watch her father die in the fire and be indifferent.

"It's already a sea of fire inside, and it's useless for you to go in now, it's just risking your own life!" Bei Mingchen tried to persuade.

"I don't care, even if I die, I want to see my father!" He Muwan was so emotional that she couldn't listen to the man's words at all, and still desperately wanted to rush in.

"He Muwan, calm down, take a good look, such a big fire, is it possible for the people inside to be alive now?" Raising his voice, Bei Mingchen shouted at the woman anxiously.

Although the man's words were cruel, they finally made He Muwan recognize the reality, cold tears flowed down her cheeks, and He Muwan looked at the monstrous fire in front of her in despair.

After staying in the smoke for a long time, she was already unable to breathe, and she was too emotional, and suddenly her eyes were dark, and she fainted in the arms of the man.

He Muwan was already in trouble when he was trapped inside, and now that Bei Mingchen had rampaged in, if the two of them had any mistakes, Xiao Tong really didn't know how to deal with Bei Mingyan.

With an anxious face, Xiao Tong paced around outside the cell, looking in the direction of the cell door from time to time, and finally saw Bei Mingchen walking out of the fire with He Muwan in his arms, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord, are you okay with the princess?" Catching up, Xiao Tong asked anxiously.

"How did the people of your Dali Temple be on duty, a big living person, ran into the sea of fire, you don't even know at all, He Muwan is the princess of the royal brother personally given to the king, if something happens to her, how do you want the king to explain to the royal brother!"

Glancing at the lifeless person in his arms, Bei Mingchen asked in a deep voice, his tone obviously full of anger.

"It's a dereliction of duty, and I ask the prince to forgive me!" Seeing this, Xiao Tong hurriedly apologized.

"You'd better pray that the princess is okay, otherwise this king is the only one you ask!" Coldly dropping this sentence, Bei Mingchen hugged He Muwan and left.

Raising his eyes to stare at the back of the two leaving, the corners of Xiao Tong's lips hooked slightly, and his eyes revealed an incomprehensible profundity.

The fire was finally completely extinguished, and everything that could be burned in the Dali Temple had been burned to the ground.

Except for the part of the prisoners who escaped, the others were all reduced to ashes, covered with charcoal black, and there was hardly a trace left at the scene.

Walking into the corner of the cell where He Hong was being held, Xiao Tong crouched down and peeled open the blackened pillars that were stacked on the ground, trying to find any clues.

A breeze blew, and some of the ashes were raised with the wind, faintly revealing a touch of white, Xiao Tong didn't care about the dirty, and directly brushed the ashes away with his hands, and a piece of white jade immediately came into view.

Picking it up casually, Xiao Tong looked at it carefully, and wrote the word "He" neatly in the lower right corner of the white jade with a small seal.

Not only that, Xiao Tong also noticed that there were blood stains under the ashes that were removed, and all the ashes were swept away, and a few lines of blood on the ground immediately appeared.

The blood had dried up, and the color had faded a little, but it could barely be seen clearly.

"The minister is willing to take the initiative to confess his guilt and self-immolate here, hoping that the emperor can be lenient to the old and weak women and children in the He Mansion for the sake of the He family's loyalty and dedication to the Xichu Society!"

The inscription in blood is written in the words "The criminal minister He Hong knocks on the emperor's grace".

"My lord, it turns out that this fire was actually set by Lord He himself?" Looking at the letter on the ground, one of the guards suddenly realized, and the tail note rose, and there was obviously a little surprise in his tone.

Even if the Gu family is powerful, He Hong is also a first-class official of the imperial court, and the He family has been an official for generations, which can be regarded as a solid foundation.

He Hong had just been imprisoned, and he had not even been tried, so he took the initiative to confess his guilt and committed suicide in fear of the crime, which is really incredible, and it is no wonder that the jailer felt unbelievable.
