Chapter 9: The Fire Grows Fierce
"How did you die?" Song Nian was stunned for a moment, and poked the wrong position with a needle.
"Of course I stabbed you to death." The little beggar had a hideous expression: "It hurts ......"
After a while, Song Nian figured out that the leader of the little beggar was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old half-grown child, and he was anxious to chase and kill the little beggar, and was directly killed by the little beggar.
"Then you haven't been discovered along the way, have you?" Song Nian asked.
"No, I'm careful. Even those who are watching around are sent by me to other places. The little beggar looked at the bandages on his body with satisfaction.
"That's good, you are here to recuperate these days......" After Song Nian finished speaking, the little beggar waved his hand indifferently: "No, that guy is dead, now the beggars help me the most, I want to unify the beggar gang and be the leader." ”
Song Nian frowned: "Your injuries are so serious......"
The little beggar smiled slyly: "It is these injuries that can stop them." ”
Song Nian understands a little about the cruelty of the underground world.
The little beggar asked again: "The porcelain vase during the day, do you know that it is poisonous or not?" ”
Song Nian said: "I went to Lang Zhong and asked, saying that it was carp gall bladder, which can treat eye diseases, and there is nothing surprising about it." ”
The little beggar shook his head: "Today, the gang leader suddenly came to kill me...... It must have been the man who commanded it during the day...... It's useless to ask Lang Zhong about this kind of thing, they know that they don't know as much about seeing a doctor as they do in the fish market. ”
Song Nian thought for a while and said, "You're right, since that's the case, I'll go to the fish market tomorrow to ask." ”
The little beggar nodded, rolled over and slipped away through the window.
Song Nian walked to the window and took a look, and was about to close the window, but the window next door slowly opened.
"Why did that beggar come to you in the middle of the night?" But it was Chu He who was speaking.
"He's injured and he's looking for me to heal, can't he?" Song Nian said politely.
A child, why are you so vigilant?
"Humph!" Chu He snorted: "You...... Be careful yourself. ”
"Pretending to be ......" Song Nian said angrily and closed the window.
Lying on the bed, Song Nian couldn't fall asleep.
In the middle of the night, I couldn't sleep.
The husband outside the window staggered and knocked on the bamboo board: "Don't be impatient, be careful of the candles, don't be impatient, be careful of the candles......"
After turning over and over for almost three days, Song Niancai fell asleep in a daze.
Bite!
Ding, ding, ding! Don't let people sleep?
Song Nian stood up angrily and knocked on the wall next to him: "Chu He, what are you doing?" I don't sleep in the middle of the night! ”
A moment later, Chu He, with dark circles under his eyes, pried open Song Nian's window and turned in.
Song Nian was stunned: "Lord Chu...... Why don't you walk through the door? ”
Chu He was stunned for a moment, and said with a straight face: "Why, if that beggar can walk through the window, I won't be able to?" ”
No...... Why are you fighting beggars? What a shame.
Chu He coughed and looked around: "Master Song, three watches, why did you wake me up?" ”
"It's not you, it's over there, ding, ding......" Song Nian's voice lowered.
Mag machine is the prompt sound of the system task......
"Huh?" Chu He looked at Song Nian.
"Ah...... That's the case, the subordinates seemed to feel that something was wrong in their sleep, so they woke up the adults......" Song Nian explained dryly, and suddenly pointed out the window: "It's on fire!" ”
"What a fire?" Chu He frowned: "What are you hiding from me?" ”
"No, Lord Chu, it's really on fire!" Song Nian pointed not far away.
The fire started out small, but soon burst into flames.
All around, gongs and drums were beating, and many people in Chinese clothes ran out of their homes and fled in all directions.
"Quick, shout, put out the fire!" Chu He frowned deeply.
"Lord Chu, is it appropriate for us to go?" Song Nian was a little hesitant, the Black Armor Army was not suitable for being too active in Jiuyuan Mansion.
"Jiuyuan Mansion is the place where the entire Jiuyuan Grain is stored, if this affects the granary......"
As soon as Chu He said this, Song Nian understood. Well, let's put out the fire.
Rushing to the fire scene, those shop soldiers were busy operating the water hose, but in a hurry, the water dragon couldn't spray far at all.
Chu He immediately made a decision and let the black-armored sergeants seize the water dragon, and these busy soldiers were directly sent to the well to fetch water and add water to the water dragon.
Although there were only dozens of black-armored soldiers, these soldiers were in strong health, and under the leadership of Chu He, they rushed to the fire, operated the water dragon and pressed, and the water column gushed out to contain the fire.
At this time, the soldiers in charge of extinguishing the fire also arrived in other directions and finally extinguished the fire.
The Li prefect also hurried over, and when he saw that the fire was extinguished, he put his mind at ease, and asked the officials and shop soldiers to arrest all the shopkeepers who were on fire.
However, after being caught, Governor Li's expression changed.
Song Nian looked at it and was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this the crude medicine shop where she went to ask questions during the day?
Wang's crude medicine shop.
"You guys, let people go, this medicine shop is on fire, they are the bitter masters." Governor Li said kindly.
"Yes, sir." The officials have long been accustomed to the face-changing technology of their own prefects, and they let go of the shopkeeper and the men with their hands and feet.
Governor Li asked his men to inquire about the cause of the fire.
Song Nian glanced at his task...... Sure enough.
Temporary Mission: To find out the cause of the fire in the crude medicine shop.
Reward: Broken Ledger (Quest Item)
Another quest item?
Song Nian frowned, but since this thing is related to the Wang family, then it should be checked.
Song Nian leaned to the side of Chu River and said in a low voice: "Lord Chu, my subordinates feel that there is something strange about this matter. ”
"What's the matter?" Chu He asked lightly.
"Lord Chu, you see, when we came this time, we were going to secretly check on the Wang family, but on the first night we came, the Wang family caught fire, you said, is this strange?"
Chu He said coldly: "The Wang family doesn't know that we are here to target them this time, not to mention, there are many ways to eliminate the evidence of the crime, who would deliberately burn down their own shop?" ”
Song Nian was speechless for a while, but heard Chu He say, "Do you want to investigate this matter?" ”
Song Nian nodded subconsciously, then raised his head suddenly, and said with a smile: "Subordinate...... The subordinates also want to grasp more clues and information about the Wang family. ”
Yes, that's it, I'm definitely not here to complete the system tasks, it's all for the Black Armor Army!
"Well, I'll talk to Governor Li." Chu He nodded lightly.
Well? So easy to say yes?
Chu He walked over, said a few words to Governor Li, and beckoned Song Nian to come over.
Song Nian cautiously passed, but Governor Li said with a smile: "Master Chu said that this fire was the first to be discovered by Master Song?" ”
Song Nian smiled awkwardly: "I couldn't sleep well tonight, and I accidentally discovered this." ”
Governor Li nodded and said, "I heard Lord Chu just now say that Master Song is well versed in the way of punishment and prison, so I will bother Master Song." ”
So smooth? Song Nian nodded unceremoniously and walked into the burnt black ruins.
