A fire broke out at the night market.

Someone set a fire to the night market, and the weather was dry, and the fire swept directly through the surrounding houses.

The ghost cried and the wolf howled, and the cry shook the sky.

People scattered to take shelter, and this stampede was inevitable.

Fortunately, the guard battalion arrived in time to evacuate the crowd and organize personnel to fight the fire.

To tell the truth, the construction of Xijing Mansion is full of building materials and flammable materials.

If you are not careful, you may burn the entire city.

The efforts of the previous months have scattered the hearts of those who have gathered.

Luckily......

When a castle is built, fires are prevented.

Water wells have been drilled in every street and alley, and buckets and tanks have been set up to store water for a long time to extinguish fires.

The guard battalion was well-trained and well staffed.

As soon as they were dispatched, they dug fire ditches while carrying water to extinguish the fire to ensure that the fire did not spread.

The owner of the house affected by the fire fell to his knees and wept.

After a lifetime of hard work, I finally had a property, but it was gone in a blink of an eye.

It's all over.

The cry was harsh, but unavoidable.

Someone stepped forward and said to the owner of the house: "Ming'er will go to the government office early in the morning to register." If the house is actually burned in the fire, the government will compensate the market price or fund the reconstruction. ”

The owners of the house are stupid.

I have never heard of such a good thing in the world.

In the past, when houses were burned, the government would only use shacks to temporarily resettle people, plus a little relief food.

I have never heard that the government will compensate according to the market price, or pay for reconstruction.

"Junhan, don't lie to me. My old woman eats more salt than you eat, and you don't want to lie to me. ”

Hu Er, who has already been promoted to the commander of the guard battalion, is crying and laughing.

"Old man, I'm not lying. Early tomorrow morning, there will be a notice at the gate of the official mansion. When the time comes, you send someone to the government to take a look, and you will know whether what I said is true. The people of Pingyang County have never deceived children, and they will give compensation when they say compensation, and they will never deceive people. ”

The owner of the house snorted, turned around and left.

When I left, I didn't forget to complain a few words, "The people's hearts are so bad these days, even I am an old woman." Oh my God, God doesn't let people live! ”

The owner of the house walked away and ran somewhere else to cry.

Hu Er looked helpless.

He asked himself why he was being seen as a liar because he was loyal and honest.

What a great injustice.

Lu Shenzhou, who no longer had a beard, slapped him on the shoulder, "This kind of good thing, that old woman definitely doesn't believe it." If I were to live in this kind of place all year round, I don't believe that there is such a good thing in the world. Wait a few days, wait for the government to publicize it, and the old woman should believe that you didn't lie to him. ”

Hu Er said with emotion: "We have been stationed in Xijing Mansion for a few months, and I didn't expect the local people to be so wary of us. In the past, it seemed that the market was prosperous, but people's hearts were unpredictable. ”

"After reading for a few days, you are also contaminated with the stinky disease of those readers, not good, not good!"

Lu Shenzhou was very disgusted.

He continued: "You don't want to think about what kind of place Xijing Mansion is, this is the 'ancient capital of the Three Dynasties', and there have been several dynasties and emperors in more than ten years.

The people here have long formed a set of survival wisdom, and they will never easily believe any government, let alone what anyone says. ”

"That makes sense!"

Lin Xiaobao, who ran out at some point, showed a sense of presence in front of Lu Shenzhou and others.

The weather is not hot, Lin Xiaobao is still holding a folding fan, learning to look like a scholar, very hypocritical.

"The local people, all of them are stinking. The biggest problem is that the heart is seriously ill. The people of your guard camp took the initiative to contact the owners of the houses, but they were suspected, and it was good that they were not beaten. If this were the case, it would have knocked you out with a stick. ”

Hu Er's eyes widened, and he always felt unacceptable.

Lin Xiaobao added: "Don't think that just a few months can change the minds of the locals. Mrs. Yan has not yet been proclaimed emperor, and even if she is called the emperor, it is difficult to determine whether the throne can be held firmly and whether the country can be stable. ”

"What did you say?" Lu Shenzhou waved his fist and warned the other party.

Be careful when you speak, otherwise you don't care about his fists and don't recognize people.

Lin Xiaobao was disgusted and disgusted with the other party's rudeness.

He used the folding fan to open Lu Shenzhou's fist, "I'm telling the truth. Liu's father and son have been sitting in the country for ten years, what is the result?

In just a few months, it seems that the market is prosperous, but it is difficult to shake the hearts of the people here. It takes three or five years for people to see that the government is doing things for the people, and there are one example after another to touch the hearts of young people here.

Those old men and old women, don't expect to impress them. They are all diehards, believing that there is nothing good in the government, and there is nothing good in the emperor.

Therefore, the hearts of the people here, and even the hearts of the entire Northland, can only start with young people.

It was useless for the little brother to talk to the old houseowner just now. Look for those young people, maybe people will believe you. ”

"You seem to know a lot about the situation here? Are you a local? Hu Er asked politely.

Lin Xiaobao clenched his fists, "I have lived in the local area for one or two decades, and I can be called a local person. ”

Hu Er's affection for Lin Xiaobao doubled. Based on what the other party said, he decided that the other party was a good person.

Lu Shenzhou has a lot of eyes, after all, he was born as an anti-thief, and he worked under Sima Dou back then.

If it weren't for the eyes, the bones would have been gone, and I wouldn't have lived today.

He looked at Lin Xiaobao again and again, "I see that you are a little familiar, we must have met before." Dare to ask for your name? ”

Lin Xiaobao said politely: "My surname is Lin, and everyone calls me Master Lin." ”

"Surname Lin?" Lu Shenzhou smiled, "The Sprinkle family remembered, have you ever been to Pingyang County before?" I said why is it so familiar, you are in business, and you have been in and out of the county guard's mansion. Could it be that you are a spy of the Northern Liang court? ”

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"

How could Lin Xiaobao have thought that Lu Shenzhou would be so rich.

"We are all doing things for Mrs. Yan, we are a gang, a gang."

"The Sprinkler family doesn't believe it. You must be a spy. Even if you're not a spy, it's suspicious to appear at the night market tonight. The fire in the night market may have been set by you. ”

Without saying a word, when Lu Shenzhou mentioned Lin Xiaobao, he wanted to lock him up.

Lin Xiaobao shouted wronged.

What's wrong, this military man has a problem, and he even suspects him of setting fire.

suffered a lot of crimes, and in the end, Yan Nan personally saved Lin Xiaobao from danger.

Lu Shenzhou wanted to invite credit, but was told by Yan Nan, "I know this Master Lin, he does do things for his wife, and he is in the same group as us." ”

"Really?"

Lu Shenzhou never expected that he thought he had caught a spy, but he accidentally hit a gang.

"Even if it's a gang, I see him sneaky, tonight's fire may not have nothing to do with him."

Lin Xiaobao was furious, "I am wholeheartedly and loyal to Mrs. Yan. When I followed Mrs. Yan on errands, you still didn't know where to mess around. Everybody can set fires, but I won't. Let me tell you, I'm here to investigate the cause of this fire, and I'll go to Mrs. Yan early in the morning to report my life. ”

"So, you're still an official? Why haven't I seen you in the yamen? ”

Lu Shenzhou decided that Lin Xiaobao was not a good thing, and he wanted to find fault with him.

Lin Xiaobao is in pain.

Because he was poked in the sore foot.

He said forcefully: "I don't have an official position for the time being, but it doesn't prevent me from running errands for my wife." Also, when he is rewarded for his deeds, he will tell you that my official position will definitely be higher than yours. When the time comes, remember to call Lord Lin. ”

Bah!

Lu Shenzhou looked disdainful.

Yan Nan had a straight face, "Lu Shenzhou, it's none of your business here, you can do it quickly." Master Lin's affairs, I will report to the base camp and ask Mrs. to call the shots. ”

Lu Shenzhou had no choice but to receive his order.

Before leaving, he said to Lin Xiaobao: "I will keep an eye on you." You'd better not do bad things, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around, whether you are an official or not. ”

Ahh......hhh

Lin Xiaobao is going crazy.

I must have gone out today because I didn't look at the yellow calendar and encountered such a bad star.

Yan Nan persuaded: "Lin Xiaobao, don't be like Lu Shenzhou, he is just a intestine to the end." Why are you here? ”

The two are also old acquaintances, and when they talk, they are naturally much more casual.

Lin Xiaobao explained: "As soon as I heard that the night market was on fire, I guessed that it might be arson.

I have long told my wife that in Xijing Mansion, everyone seems to be obedient, but in fact, many people harbor evil intentions.

Today's fire, I am afraid that some people are anxious when they see that Mrs. is fighting steadily in the north, and they will soon be able to stabilize people's hearts, so they create chaos, cause trouble to people's hearts, and ruin the good situation.

I have drawn up a list of people who are suspicious on weekdays, and I plan to hand it over to Madame in person early tomorrow morning. ”

"You give me the list, and I'll arrange the stalking. Rest assured, it won't take credit from you. ”

Lin Xiaobao was a little embarrassed.

He hurriedly explained, "I have never doubted Commander Yan's integrity. I'm sure I'll trust you to do things. Then I'll give you the list, and we'll go to see Madame together tomorrow morning? ”

"Okay! I'll be waiting for you at the yamen early tomorrow morning. ”

The two agreed, but Lin Xiaobao still couldn't stay.

He was driven away several times before he was reluctant to leave.

The fire was extinguished.

Fortunately, the rescue was timely and there were no casualties.

One or two dozen houses were destroyed, and a bustling street became like a ruined site.

Can this night market still be held?

Can the prosperous appearance created by Yan Yunge in Xijing Mansion continue?

The government did not order martial law, but the small people of Xijing Prefecture took the initiative to impose martial law.

Everyone is hiding in their homes, and every house is closed, as if it is the standard appearance of martial law.

It's dawn!

At this time in the past, the whole city woke up from sleep, and the sound of selling, shouting, and the sound of cars and horses seemed extremely lively.

Everywhere there is fireworks in the world.

Today......

The huge city was as if it were dead.

Except for the construction site, none of the markets had any shops open, and none of the vendors set up stalls.

Is it really going to be over?
