Chapter 1171: Strange Fire
After nightfall, the Tongsheng Wharf has no bustle during the day, and the laborers who have been busy all day have gone home to rest, and there are only sporadic left-behind personnel in the entire wharf. The sailing ship docked at the dock was silent, as if the crew had already fallen asleep in the cabin.
But at midnight, several carriages appeared on the Tongsheng pier like ghosts, and the crew of the Haihan sailing ship also appeared on the shore, silently carrying the contents of the carriage onto the ship. At the same time, several people in warehouse C were opening the wine crates that had been brought in during the day one by one, opening the Sanya special brew, and pouring the fire oil contained in it all over the warehouse.
At the second watch, the Qiantang River suddenly burst into flames, the warehouse on the bank and several sailboats on the river were on fire almost at the same time, the fire spread very fast, and when people in the surrounding areas began to come out to see the excitement, the fire was already raging, and it was difficult to get close. A few miles away at the head of the city of Hangzhou, the soldiers on duty had also seen this fire and immediately reported it to their superiors.
About half an hour later, a Ming army of several hundred people came out of the city of Hangzhou and rushed to the site of the fire. However, this unit did not rush to extinguish the fire, but to maintain order around the fire to avoid anyone fishing in muddy water. At the same time, it is also to urge the surrounding people to evacuate as soon as possible, so as not to cause greater losses.
At this time, the fire was out of control, and although the fire site was on the edge of the Qiantang River, the onlookers could not get close to the hot fire, and could only watch as the fire burned the warehouse and several boats moored on the shore to ashes.
The fire lasted until dawn, and was not extinguished until it was no longer burnable, and the ruins of the ruins were emitting green smoke, and it was faintly visible that there were still corpses that had been burned to the point of curling and carbonizing. At this time, the Hangzhou government had already sent dozens of officials to seal off the scene, preparing to investigate the cause of the fire. Not since the eerie inn fire outside Hangzhou last June, there hasn't been a fire of this magnitude in the vicinity, and it will be another difficult problem for local catchers.
The head catcher who led the team is named Han Zhengshan, who is forty-one years old, which can be said to be in the prime of life, and he is also one of the four major head catchers in Hangzhou Prefecture, specializing in solving criminal cases. He had been notified in the middle of the night last night, but since only the army could leave the city before dawn, he had to wait until dawn to lead the team to the fire site like everyone else.
As soon as he arrived at the scene, Han Zhengshan heard a very bad news: the three sailing ships that were burned on the shore were all under the name of Haihan.
