Chapter 364: Heavenly Punishment Descends Fire
Sun said so, then just wait until you go back and talk to your in-laws, as for Jiang Xing, she listens to her most of the time, and Jiang Chao, not to mention, must also want to continue studying.
It's too cold outside, even if you want to say a few more words, it's not suitable.
Sun and Jiang Chao wrapped themselves tightly and got into the donkey cart, and after the final goodbye, Jiang Xing drove the donkey cart and slowly left the hexagonal alley.
Xu stood at the door, wiped his tears twice, and then the family went back to the house, preparing for this year, that is, some people in the family were not there...... It's going to be lively.
However, Gu Baoying didn't expect that in the first year she came to this world, she could really live such a "lively" life.
On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when the lights in the county were shining brightly and the excitement was extremely lively, the tailor shop she had put down a while ago actually went out of the water.
As for the reason for the water, according to the nearby residents with palpitations, it was a burst of fire that suddenly fell from the sky and exploded, and the falling heavenly fire did not hit anywhere, but only smashed on this tailor's shop, burning the shop.
After all, it was a festive day for the New Year, and there were joyous scenes everywhere, but suddenly there was such an accident, and it soon spread in the county.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, some people began to preach in a similar way: "On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, when an old Taoist was eating tea in the tea house, he suddenly pointed to a direction in the west, saying that the place has not been very good recently, and has offended the gods, I am afraid that God will send disasters and tell people not to go there, and those who heard it at that time did not think so, thinking that this old Taoist was just talking nonsense, but who knew that on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this strange thing happened to the heavenly fire disaster?" ”
"That's right, I was there at the time, and I didn't think so, but now that I think about it, isn't that west side referring to the tailor shop on fire on West Street?"
"Eh, tell me, such a shop has offended the gods, so who will dare to continue to open a shop here to do business in the future? I'm afraid no one will go over there! As a result, even a few shops in the vicinity will be implicated! ”
"Alas, this is really a fire at the city gate, and it has affected the fish in the pond! Obviously, the owner of this shop is unlucky, but the neighbor who is with him will also get into trouble because of this! ”
Since the discussion is here, it is natural to ask who the owner of this shop is!
So, the passer-by, who seemed to know everything, said: "This shop used to be Tailor Liao's!" I heard that he suddenly put the shop out a while ago, and it is said that the one who went down the shop was still Gu Xiaoniang, who had made a fuss in the county town before and made a gambling contract with a few students of Yuemo Academy! ”
"What? It's her?! The listener was immediately shocked, and at the same time couldn't help frowning, why are the two recent lively incidents in this county town related to her? This little lady, instead of embroidering well at home, is always making such a fuss outside, is it a little unruly?
"Then it can't be that Tailor Liao offended the gods by himself, and quickly ran away after realizing it, but when he was leaving, he tricked the little lady Gu and gave her the shop?" Someone questioned.
"Tailor Liao's shop has been open for more than ten years, why has it always been good and there is nothing at all, but after he gave the shop to this little lady Gu, there was suddenly this kind of thing? Besides, if the god wants to send down heavenly punishment, is it possible that he can still send down the wrong person? It is said that one day in the sky and one year in the ground, the time in the sky is faster than on the ground, it is impossible for the gods not to know that Tailor Liao has already put the shop out, even if he really blames Tailor Liao, it must be to blame him for giving the shop to this little lady Gu! ”
This passer-by with great powers, even if he said something very convincing, made everyone believe in doubt, and insisted that he believed it ten out of ten.
As a result, the fact that Gu Xiaoniang offended the gods and caused the heavenly punishment to drop fire spread all of a sudden in the county!
And after these rumors reached Gu Baoying's ears, she did not move, and only told Aunt Liu once: "...... This is just a trivial matter, obviously someone is making trouble behind it, I will definitely solve it, it is my mother here, I don't want to make her worry about it again. ”
Aunt Liu is an understanding person, and immediately heard the sound of the strings and knew the meaning of the elegant guarantee: "You are right to think so, this kind of villain does a bad thing, the villain behind it, will always be found out!" Don't worry, I won't let your mother know! ”
Gu Baoying was relieved when she heard this.
As long as Aunt Liu doesn't say it, then the Xu family will have no way to hear about the outside world.
As for saying that Bao Ying would know these rumors, it was all Jin Siye who asked Ah Song to come and ask her, and now it has spread like this outside, that shop is afraid that it is not suitable, and asked her if she wants to set up another shop, avoid West Street here, as long as the second shop is made in the back, and watch carefully, there will be no more such a thing, so what Bao Ying offended the gods and caused the heavenly punishment to reduce the fire, naturally it is untenable.
"I'm not the one who did the wrong thing, so why should I avoid it? Besides, if I had offended the god, he should have sent fire directly above my head, and not so far down to a tailor's shop that had not yet been repaired! Besides, it's not certain whether that thing is a god or not! ”
Gu Baoying's face was awe-inspiring, grinding her teeth and saying, "I want to see who is behind this!" ”
Ah Song's blood boiled when he heard this, and he immediately expressed his loyalty: "Girl, don't worry! You say what you want to do, and the little one immediately does what you say! ”
However, Gu Baoying glanced at him with disgust.
"This day fire, it must be fake, since it is fake, it is man-made, man-made is simple, I listened to what those people said, it was like setting off fireworks, as for how the fireworks became a fire and burned down the shop, it should be after the fireworks, and someone set fire, but there are few families in the county who can afford fireworks, so the direction of your investigation is just like this......"
Gu Baoying disliked it, so she immediately ordered it.
When she said this, Ah Song listened intently, and there was a look of admiration in those two eyes, obviously trusting Gu Baoying.
I don't know if Jin Siye knows that he has cultivated a person, but he shows such a adoring gaze to outsiders, his heart will be sour.
And Gu Baoying continued: "Go to the Jiang family, the Shen family, the Hong family and the Gao family to inquire, see if they have bought fireworks, or other rich people, fireworks are not sold in the county, at most there are only firecrackers and firecrackers, then it is only possible to purchase from other places, this is a flammable and explosive thing, the vehicles coming and going in the county during the New Year, the city gate must be inspected very carefully, so the government can also inquire whether anyone has purchased goods." ”
"The other direction, that is, if you don't buy it, then it can only be homemade, and it's better to say that there are not many people who will use this thing, and you will inevitably use saltpeter and red phosphorus, you just have to inquire and see if anyone has quietly bought these two things in the market recently."
"Basically, these two directions are right, no matter how clever the approach is, I think the people behind this may not be able to think of it!" Gu Baoying said, snorting coldly with a little disdain.
"No problem! I'm going to inquire! Ah Song was in good spirits when he heard this, and he immediately went to work.
"Wait! I'm not done yet! Gu Baoying looked at him a little speechlessly, and hurriedly shouted to stop him.
