Chapter 57: Scorching
"You...... Who are you? ”
The vast imperial city is naturally guarded, and this group of people with torches is particularly eye-catching in the middle of the night, and of course the guards will come to check on them.
There was a curfew for the common people at night in the vast imperial city, and only the nobles were allowed to come out and enjoy the nightlife.
There were nearly a hundred people in this group of people holding torches, and the guards of the vast imperial city were only a small team of eight people, so the guards were surrounded by this group of people.
"You ...... If you give your family name, we will verify your identity, and if you are not a nobleman, our Vast Imperial City Guards will ...... you"
"Do it." Wang said.
Boom!
Before the Vast Imperial City Guard could finish speaking, a fist had already hit him in the face, and the huge force of the warrior directly caused the body of the guard soldier to spin in the air a few times, and then he fell to the ground unconscious.
These people actually attacked the guards of the Vast Imperial City in the Vast Imperial City! This is a bit too arrogant.
"How dare you...... Yes...... Wait a minute...... Ah......h
"Go and call someone...... Ah......h
All eight guards were knocked to the ground, and none of them let go.
……
"Little Beauty! Come on. ”
"Oh, guest officer, no."
A chase is being staged in a certain room of Yixiang Temple, and the man is a big businessman in the vast imperial city, he is so drunk that not even a weak woman can catch up in this small room.
The women were delicate but nimble, and they circled around a large table.
The man was also annoyed, some time can be described as a thousand dollars, he didn't want to waste it.
"Drink!"
The man directly lifted the large table in front of him to the side, alcohol did limit his IQ, but alcohol also helped him break through the boundaries of strength, so that a businessman who had never exercised could have so much strength.
"Little beauty, look where you're running now."
The man pounced on the woman like a hungry beast.
"Oh, guest officer, you've been caught."
The woman was strangled by the beast's big hands, and she couldn't resist or escape at all, so she could only say coquettishly, "Lighter." ”
Where is this begging for mercy? This is clearly a deliberate provocation.
The man's hands were very dishonest, and he even began to squirm directly.
"Hey, hey, little beauty, I'm ...... now Ahem...... I...... Ahem, cough, cough, ......" The man suddenly felt an itch in his throat as he spoke, as if he had choked.
The beads of sweat on the man's body are getting bigger and bigger, and he feels that the temperature in the room is much higher, but it may be because he is too excited, and the blood circulation is relatively fast.
"Guest...... Guest, do you feel that the temperature in the room seems to be getting hotter? The woman asked weakly.
"Is there one? You do feel a little bit like that. "The big drops of Han liquid on the head have gathered and fallen, and the temperature around the house is indeed abnormally high.
"Guest officer, do you want me to go out and have a look." The woman asked.
"Get out? Hey, hey, little beauty, the beauty you think. The man had a lewd smile on his face, he wouldn't let this little lady out.
"No...... Sir...... There's really a problem outside......"
The woman felt that something was very wrong outside, the candle lantern in Yixiangyuan should have been bright red, which was the symbol of their red dust, but now the outside of the house was full of orange light, this light was like ......
Wow!
The wooden door and paper window of the hut suddenly burst into flames, and the paper window burned the fastest, directly igniting the furniture and ornaments near the window.
"Ahh
The woman screamed, and the man stood aside in shock.
The flames directly blocked the door, and the two of them didn't even have the slightest chance to escape, so they could only watch in despair as the flames approached step by step.
"Little ...... Little beauty, I'm sorry. ”
"What are you talking about, guest officer, why did you tell me ......?"
Why say you're sorry? The woman was still curious, but she was suddenly caught by the man.
"Guest officer...... What are you going to do? ”
"Hehe, come and help me, after all, I am a powerful person in the court, and my life is very important."
The man held the woman in front of him, and then slammed into the flames at the door of the room.
"Don't! Don't! The woman cried out in despair.
The man ignored it, and he shrunk his entire fat body behind the woman as much as possible.
Boom!
"Ahh
The woman's delicate body slammed open the burning wooden door.
The man rushed out of the flames against the woman, but the woman was already in the flames...... Chart black.
"Hey, hey, thank you."
He shook off the woman and walked away on his own.
Click.
The man thought he had survived, but one of the beams of the house had just burned out, and it fell straight towards the man.
……
The hall of Yixiangin was also overcrowded, and after realizing that there was a fire, everyone ran towards this hall, after all, the hall was relatively empty, and the fire had not yet spread to this point.
And the hall is also linked to the only gate that escaped from Yixiangin.
"Get out of here, it's already burning inside!" The man who had just arrived in the hall said to the people gathered in the hall in front of him.
"How can I get out, the door has been blocked."
In fact, it wasn't that these people didn't want to leave, because several burning wooden carts had blocked the gate of Yixiangyuan, and the people inside couldn't escape at all.
"It's over, it's over, is it that my dignified officials of the Northern Court are going to be burned to death in this brothel." A customer of Yixiangin slumped on the ground, his eyes full of despair.
There were also people fighting the fire outside, but they only used a basin to pour some water on the burning building, this little bit of water did not have any effect at all, the fire was still fierce, and there were continuous screams in the Yixiang Courtyard.
There are also some people who can't escape from the gate of Yixiangyuan, so they want to jump out of the window on the second floor, but Yixiangyuan just makes the first floor the most spacious and atmospheric, so that the height of the second floor is at least nearly ten meters, these dignitaries and magnates in the north are all fat, and their physical fitness is poor, and they may have to fall half to death if they jump from this height, but half dead is better than dead.
So they jumped, and some of the lucky buttocks hit the ground and shrank on the ground in pain and rolled around a few times; Some of them were lucky enough to land on all fours, and I was afraid that most of the bones were broken; In the end, there are some unlucky people who hit the ground with their heads, some of them died directly, and some fell unconscious, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.
Not everyone jumped from the second floor to escape death, after all, there is billowing smoke on the second floor, and most of the rooms are also burning, and there are only dozens of people who can successfully jump from the second floor and remain immortal.
No one knew the identities of the arsonists, only that because of their actions, the vast imperial city tonight was brighter than the moon in the sky.
