Chapter 52: The Rice Shop Fire
Zhao Yunling had already taken a fancy to that place before, but it had not been settled before, and after arriving there, he found the shopkeeper to negotiate the price, and discussed the follow-up matters, and now these guys in the store can stay, and it was already evening when he and Wang Erquan rushed back after paying the silver and getting the deed.
It was already late at night when he returned to Tianyuan Town, and before he entered the city, Wang Erquan suddenly glanced in the direction of the city, and his tone was solemn: "Miss, look, there is smoke over there, as if there is still fire, as if it is on fire." β
Zhao Yunling glanced in that direction, and his face suddenly changed.
"That's the direction of the rice shop, let's go over and have a look."
"Yes."
The two rode horses, and the closer they got, the more uneasy Zhao Yunling felt in his heart, and the firelight in front of them gradually brightened, illuminating half of the sky.
"Miss, it's the rice shop that's on fire!" Wang Erquan suddenly exclaimed
When I was outside the city just now, I was not sure, but now I can see more when I walk in, at this distance, it is the rice shop that is on fire, and Zhao Yunling rode a horse to the outside of the rice shop.
The fire inside was soaring, Zhao Changsheng was organizing people to drink, and the merchants and people next to him also came to help, Cuizhu's hair was messy, her eyes were red from crying, and she turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw her young lady getting off the horse at a glance.
Cuizhu hurriedly rushed up: "Miss! β
Zhao Yunling's face was cold, and when she saw someone coming over with a bucket next to her, she grabbed it and was about to rush inside.
The tongue of fire swept away, most of the rice shop had been burned, Zhao Yunling didn't have time to think about it so much, he was swept up by the tongue of fire just as he got closer, and the heat wave swept over, Zhao Yunling frowned, and a bucket of water was splashed over.
But this can't solve anything at all, and even the fire has become bigger and bigger, there are still a lot of account books stored in the rice shop, she lives here, most of the important things are placed here, since the fire can't be extinguished for the time being, but those things must be taken out, she carried a bucket of water to herself and wanted to rush inside.
Seeing this, Wang Erquan's face changed, and he stepped forward to stop her: "Miss, the fire is so big now, you can't go in, it will be dangerous." β
"Get out of the way!"
Zhao Yunling's body was flexible, and he easily avoided Wang Erquan and went inside, Wang Erquan turned around and was about to follow, but just when he turned around, he suddenly felt a gust of wind flashing around him, and he could only see a white shadow following in.
Wang Erquan gritted his teeth, poured a bucket of water and followed in.
In any case, Miss trusted him so much, and besides, Miss would not have any effect on their affairs, and he couldn't just ignore it.
Smoke was billowing from inside the rice shop, and Zhao Yunling relied on his flexibility to take the account book and go outside, without noticing that a beam fell on his head.
"Be careful!"
She only heard a loud sound from the side, and then a hand reached over, grabbed her waist and dragged her over, and then she saw the beam of the house fall to the ground, and the smoke was blowing in her face, Zhao Yunling could barely see the figure around her clearly.
"Rong Yan? How did you get in? β
Rong Yan's face was even more ugly than hers: "Zhao Yunling, where is your brain?" With such a big fire, you dare to break into the faΓ§ade! β
He seemed to be in a hurry.
She only had time to flash this thought in her mind, and then she was dissipated by the heat, pulling Rong Yan to go outside, and suddenly a puff of smoke, Zhao Yunling choked so much that tears came out, and after walking a few steps, she suddenly found that Rong Yan's steps slowed down.
"Rong Yan, you ......"
She turned around, only to see that in the thick smoke, Rong Yan's face was pale, her hands hung softly by her side, and the clothes on her body had been burned by the fire.
When the beam fell just now, Rong Yan should have blocked it with his other hand, but how could a person's hand withstand it?
"Miss!"
Wang Erquan rushed in and saw that the two of them were walking outside with difficulty.
He first went to help Zhao Yunling, and suddenly his eyes fell on Rong Yan, and a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes, if Rong Yan died here......
But immediately, Wang Erquan heard Zhao Yunling's voice: "You just came in, hurry, Rong Yan take it out!" He had just blocked the beams with his hand, and now he couldn't hold on. β
Wang Erquan hesitated, gritted his teeth and took Rong Yan.
The fire outside has been slowly controlled, Rong Yan lost consciousness after coming out, Zhao Yunling asked Wang Erquan and Zhao Changsheng to stay, she called Cuizhu to ask for a doctor, and took Rong Yan to the restaurant by herself.
When she opened a restaurant before, she also left a place for herself to rest or read the account book, which was found in every restaurant, and found the nearest one to go in, put her face on the bed, and dragged off his burnt robe, and she didn't move the clothes inside.
The ledger and those things were casually set aside.
Cuizhu invited the doctor back, and Zhao Yunling led the doctor in: "He blocked the falling beam with his hand, and now he fainted, doctor, you can help take a look." β
"Good, good."
The doctor touched his beard and answered, and stepped forward to check the pulse. 51
The wound was examined again.
After a long while, he said: "This son's condition is not very serious, the wounds on his arms are mostly burns, just apply ointment." As for the coma, it should be caused by inhaling too much smoke, which is a bit tricky, and I am afraid that it will have any effect on the throat, but I can't be sure until I wake up. I'll prescribe a prescription first, and I'll come to see when the person wakes up. β
"Thank you, doctor." Zhao Yunling asked Cuizhu to lead the doctor to the side to prescribe medicine, and sat down on the edge of the bed by himself, looking at Rong Yan.
I really couldn't figure out what he was doing when he rushed in.
After Cuizhu came back, Zhao Yunling said: "Cuizhu, you stay here and watch, when he wakes up, he will immediately call someone to tell me that I will go to the rice shop to have a look." β
"Yes, don't worry, miss." Cuizhu Road.
Zhao Yunling nodded, got up and went outside.
Over there in the rice shop, the open flame is gone, but most of the rice shop has collapsed, and most of the things inside are gone, there is smoke at this time, and everyone is standing outside, as soon as Zhao Yunling came over, Wang Erquan and Zhao Changsheng came over immediately.
"Miss."
"Hmm." Zhao Yunling glanced at the immediate face, his brows furrowed: "Uncle Zhao, what's going on?" β
Zhao Changsheng was extremely embarrassed at this time, his face was dark, and when he heard Zhao Yunling's question, he hurriedly said: "Miss, this fire came too suddenly, and by the time we reacted, it had already burned, and the fire couldn't be controlled at all, and now ...... I don't know where it came from. β
"The rice shop burned like this? But you don't even know how it started? β
Zhao Yunling narrowed his eyes and said in a cold tone.
Zhao Changsheng wanted to speak and stopped, and only after a moment did he say, "Miss, I doubt it...... It was someone who deliberately set the fire. β
"Intentional arson?"
Zhao Yunling frowned, and looked at the rice shop, now it is burned like this, it is late at night, there should be no open flame in the rice shop, and this fire is too big, it can't be controlled at all, it is indeed too strange.
"Miss."
Wang Erquan took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "After you left just now, I went to the side to take a look twice, this fire must have been deliberately put by someone, there was a dropped fire fold next to it, and there was also sprinkled wine, the wine is flammable, so that the fire is easy to control together." β
Zhao Yunling sneered: "And it's still when I'm not there, and when I come back, it's too late for anything, it's really a good calculation." β
"Miss, do you want to check?" Wang Erquan glanced in the direction of the rice shop, pursed his lips, and already had a guess in his heart, but it was difficult to say it at this time.
"Check, of course I have to check, when I find out who did this, I will never let him go easily!"
After Zhao Yunling finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and glanced back, and said in a light tone: "I remember what I said last time, others are enemies of me, and it's easy to say anything, but if my own people betray me, I will definitely not let it go easily, and the end will only be worse, I hope that this time there will be no internal response." β
It was not the first time that something had happened to the people under her, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at everyone's expressions, and quickly withdrew her gaze.
"Wang Erquan, I will leave this matter to you to do, it must be investigated, and it is ......"
Zhao Yunling paused: "Focus on those rice merchants and shopkeeper Li." β
"Yes." Wang Erquan bowed his head in response.
Zhao Yunling glanced at those people again, and sighed: "Uncle Zhao, these people, you look at the arrangement first, the rice shop has become like this, it will definitely be renovated, and it will not be open for business for the time being, let them go to various restaurants to help first, I just ordered a restaurant in the city next door, you can ask anyone who is willing to go over, you can also go over there first." β
"Miss, don't worry, I will arrange these people, you are already tired for a day today, go back and rest first, and Master Rong...... Are you alright? Uncle Zhao hurriedly said.
"Okay, I believe Uncle Zhao, these things will definitely be done, then I'll go back first."
After all, there's one lying in the house.
Before leaving, Zhao Yunling looked at Wang Erquan: "You work hard tonight, I want to know the news immediately." β
"Yes."
Zhao Yunling returned to the restaurant, and saw Yueqing at the door of the restaurant, and she walked over: "Come in with me." β
Yueqing pursed her lips and followed, just as Cuizhu came out of it, and when she saw the two of them, her eyes lit up: "Miss, Rong Gongzi has woken up, go and take a look, I'll boil the medicine." β
"Go ahead."
Zhao Yunling pushed open the door and saw Rong Yan leaning on the bed as soon as he entered, one hand hanging to the side, the clothes on his body had been changed, and his face was still a little pale, but it was much cleaner than just now.
Seeing this scene, Yueqing stepped forward a few steps: "Childe! β
Rong Yan glanced at him lightly: "Why are you here?" β
"Childe came alone, and his subordinates couldn't rest assured."
