Chapter 179: The Fire Rises
The matter of the Song family's fish shop was in Xiping for a few days, and it was over, but fortunately, there was no strange rainstorm recently, and most of the families thought that the matter of releasing fish fry to pray for heavenly blessings was done, and it was not wrong because of the Song family.
On the contrary, the Cheng family, who was wronged and did not pursue and still distributed medicine for the people for free, successfully won back a game, and the most pitiful of them was Pang Guang, who could only fight for his life, but still couldn't sell aphrodisiacs.
The man didn't know whether he was angry with Cheng Yan or humiliated himself, and spent his days in Jixin Pharmacy, saying that he was uncomfortable from head to toe, but the domineering president had never been there.
On the way to the Vermilion Bird Tower the next day, Cheng Qi was bored folding the handkerchief in the carriage, thinking of the man, he said to Cheng Yan with some tears and laughter: "Pang Guang's medicine, you just let Zhou Lao take a look, after all, ......."
"Nope."
Cheng Yan folded his arms and coldly refused.
Cheng Qi looked at him with his chin on his chin, knowing that he was annoyed that Pang Guang had damaged his majesty at the beginning, so that he still couldn't erase the black spot that was 'not smooth and humane', so he looked at a certain place involuntarily.
Cheng Yan noticed her harassing gaze, immediately frowned and put his legs together, and by the way, he reached out and hit Cheng Qi's forehead, and said unhappily: "What are you looking at, I have no problem." β
"Shhhh
Cheng Qi's facial features covered his forehead in confusion, and said aggrievedly: "No problem, no problem, what are you doing beating me." β
Cheng Yan blinked awkwardly, and also regretted that he had hit Cheng Qi, but the water that popped out of the brain collapse, he coughed lightly with his fist over his mouth, and yelled outside the car: "Hurry up!" β
Ah Qiao, who was humming a small song of the Yi tribe, was in a leisurely hurry, and when he heard Cheng Yan's voice, he was busy opening his mouth and almost biting his tongue, so he had to hold back his tears and respond: "Yes-"
Cheng Qi in the car raised his eyebrows, rubbed his forehead gently, and looked at Cheng Yan strangely.
The man squinted at her, "See what I'm doing?" β
"Nope."
Cheng Qi immediately coaxed: "It's nothing." β
Cheng Yan took a deep breath and was silent for a few seconds before breaking the deadlock: "Xiangfang's new formula, have you done it yet, the recipe was taken away by Sanfang, don't you remember it at all?" β
Cheng Qi leaned on boredly, and said lightly: "It's not a new formula, but it's ...... There are already some eyebrows, don't worry, isn't business good now? β
Yes, after experiencing the red rash, their business in Manyun Xiangfang has indeed increased a lot, but they didn't expect such a nonsense, and they also indirectly made free advertisements for their old Cheng family.
"It's good to be doing it."
Cheng Yan said calmly: "Don't be tired of yourself, after all, your brain doesn't feel big." β
Cheng Qi glared and kicked him in the calf, looking at the man's painful but forbearant expression, she couldn't help laughing, knocked on the board twice, and shouted: "Ah Qiao! Hurry up! β
"Yesβ"

When I went back to the Vermilion Bird Tower, it was exactly the same as before, the only difference was that Han Yi had changed from the poisonous insect that jumped up and down everywhere in the past to a muffled and sullen rat.
In the matter of guarding the palace sand, she was inspected by Aunt Yun, although it was finally identified as a perfect body, but after the news spread, her whole reputation was ruined, and she became depressed and unhappy.
Ma Zhen was very afraid that all this calm was full of mountains and rains, after all, Han Yi was bound to repay him, and after Cheng Qi's calculations, how could he be so forbearing, did he really give up?
But Feng Se could think about it, she felt that Han Yi had planted such a big heel, and seeing Cheng Qi so soaring, even if he wanted to open it after being greatly stimulated, he didn't want to be a victim of the family, after this year's selection, Han Yi would completely leave the Vermilion Bird Tower and end his draft career.
It's just that Cheng Qi has never considered these, on the one hand, she feels that the current Han Yi is no longer afraid, and secondly, because the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
She won't take the initiative to harm others, but others don't want to hurt her easily, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable.
In the evening, Cheng Qi looked at the show girls around the tent bed, among them, there were those who had bullied him all the way with Han Yi, and there were those who had pitied themselves but couldn't do anything, and the most of them were still watching her being bullied and still chose to watch from the wall.
But in any case, these people are flattering themselves now.
Now the situation is already very clear, a mutiny has once again achieved Cheng Qi, that person has been promoted from Baolin to a beauty of the fourth grade, and he also saved the emperor's life under Tang Yao's hands.
These can already guarantee Cheng Qi's future glory and wealth, and the glory of the Cheng family.
"Sister Xiu."
There is a ruthless stutter, and when he opens his mouth, he is commensurate with his sister's affection.
"Don't look at your face scratched, but it doesn't look conspicuous." She said that she was obedient against her will, and she also fought with her own fleshy teeth, "It's strange that Sister Dao is good-looking, and she is so beautiful even if she hurts her face." β
Dachang people's standards for women's appearance, that is really a wound and ruin, there is no flaw and no concealment, even if I am beautiful, I don't want it, but as long as I hang a little color, it is basically useless, it is difficult for her to still open her eyes here and talk nonsense, and I can hear Feng Se laughing on the bed behind her.
These people, where did they go when Cheng Qi was silent, and now when he came, Feng Se shook his head with his arms crossed, and glanced at Cheng Qi, and the person was also very helpless.
"I can't."
She sneered and said to the girl who stammered herself, "You are good-looking, you are better than me." β
After that, Cheng Qi took the winter robe next to him and put it on, bypassed the girls who surrounded him, and went down to the first floor very helplessly and tired under the gaze of everyone, wanting to go out to the yard to breathe.
It is said that the tree is a big wind, but this wave of people is all hornets that want people's lives.
And after she went downstairs, those people looked at each other, and each rolled their eyes, they all seemed to despise each other's flattery in the face of Cheng Qi, and they didn't know who took the lead, so they rushed to Feng Se's tent bed one after another.
That person is now a celebrity next to Cheng Qi, and he is the second daughter of Xiping Sima, and all the beautiful girls are playing the end plate, and they say that they can't tie up Cixi, and it's the same for Li Lianying.
"Get out of here!"
Who knew that as soon as they surrounded them, the man shook two words coldly, and the show girls were stunned, but they didn't expect Feng Se to be so decisive, stood crampedly, and went to Ma Zhen's side.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the man hurriedly wrapped himself in the quilt and lay down, thinking that he had suffered a catastrophe, but who knew that those show girls were suddenly annoyed and angry, and when they saw that Cheng Qi was not there, they took out those harsh words again.
But Ma Zhen didn't care anymore, and those people were bored with themselves, so they dispersed.
β¦
β¦
Here, Cheng Qi went out on the next floor and stood in front of the door of the house, there was no cloud on the winter night, the bright moon hung above, reflecting the courtyard, and the swirling moonlight made her look like a cloud.
Soon, she will enter the palace.
Staying here in Xiping, even if Duan Guifei is beyond the reach of the whip, the danger is still so shadowy, if she goes to Jingzhou and the capital, and goes to Duan Guifei's nose, she can try her best to save her life, but wouldn't it be better if she avoided this danger from the beginning?
Thinking about the bottle that hasn't been applied to your face yet...... Disfiguring medicine, Cheng Qi started thinking again, she was just a little worried before, this scar would be too exaggerated, so that she didn't have to enter the palace at the same time, she would also become an ugly monster in the future.
But after thinking about it, she is a modern policeman after all, and she doesn't have the stereotypical idea that women must marry and teach children like the ancients, even if she can't marry in the future, she will die at home, and she just sees it herself.
Besides, Cheng Qi weighed it, with his own identity, not to mention the scars on his face, even if his head and buttocks were reversed, as soon as the red makeup appeared in ten miles, there would still be people shouting I love you.
That's it, just do it.
Cheng Qi secretly made up her mind, and she also made up her mind to execute it immediately, she took a deep breath of the cool air of the night, turned around and just wanted to go back, but almost bumped into someone head-on.
It was Han Yi's former No. 1 dogleg, Wan Jingjing.
After Han Yi lost power, Wan Jingjing quickly lost her former arrogance, and even her family's Wan's ticket number business plummeted, really standing in the wrong line and ruining a generation.
Looking up at Cheng Qi, Wan Jingjing's eyes were filled with emptiness and remorse, and she also wanted to tie up with Cheng Qi like those show girls, to change her future, just like she did with Han Yi in the past.
However, as the cold words next to him said, he was Han Yi's dog in life and Han Yi's dead dog in death, bullying Ma Zhen and Cheng Qi like in the past, even more than Han Yi, and now seeing Cheng Qi's power, he wants to flatter him, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world.
All she can do now is to continue to follow Han Yi's side, even if that person falls into this field, she will have an uncle who is a Xiping assassin, and if she rebels now, she will have nothing.
"It's so late, what are you going to do?"
In the end, it was Cheng Qi who opened her mouth first, she looked at the clean winter robe in Wan Jingjing's hand, and wondered: "Aren't you wearing a winter coat?" Why did you take an extra one? β
Wan Jingjing didn't expect Cheng Qi's initiative, so she was stunned and hurriedly said, "It's Sister Yi...... Han Yi took a bath in the bath room and asked me to send a new winter coat. β
Cheng Qi sighed, didn't pay attention to his demeanor at all, and went upstairs slowly.
Wan Jingjing turned her head to stare at the back of the man, her pupils were mixed, and she didn't know what she was thinking, but there was still a living ancestor on the other side of the bath, so she had to go over quickly, push open the door of the bath room, and the water vapor on her face instantly surrounded her.
It seems that even if Han Yi falls to such a point, as long as Ge Yuanjun is her backer, the people of Suzaku Tower will not dare to treat her badly, and the configuration of the bath is still exactly the same as when she was majestic before.
Wan Jingjing bypassed the huge wooden screen, didn't look at Han Yi in the bucket, put the winter robe on the hanger next to it, and whispered: "The clothes are here, I'll go back first." β
"Stop."
As soon as she turned around, she was stopped by the person in the barrel, Han Yi turned her head, her long black hair soaked in hot water, under the surface of the water, those strands of hair were like swimming snakes, it seemed that they could break out of the water at any time and kill people, and Han Yi himself had a pair of black eyes that were more vicious than poisonous snakes.
She looked Wan Jingjing up and down several times, seeing that the person didn't even want to look at herself, she sneered twice, Han Yi is bad and smart, she knows very well in her heart where Wan Jingjing is and what she thinks now.
It's just that he can't leave himself, and he can't join Cheng Qi, so he doesn't have a good attitude with himself.
Is she Han Yi by her side, do you want to come and go?
Han Yi's side face was delicate and sharp, she raised her hand on the edge of the barrel, and said arrogantly: "Give me a punch of the arm." Seeing that Wan Jingjing didn't move, she raised her voice coldly, "Hurry up!" β
Wan Jingjing hated in her heart, but she still picked up a wooden scoop and scooped hot water for her to pour her arm over and over again, but her heart responded, and the movements in her hands were naturally not very careful, and she just sprinkled it casually several times.
And all this, Han Yi saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, and when Wan Jingjing scooped the water again, she suddenly raised her hand and knocked over the wooden scoop, causing the hot water to splash on her face.
"Ahh
Wan Jingjing was frightened, and suddenly took two steps back, and when the sleeve that blocked the water was put down, the anger on Wan Jingjing's face could no longer be hidden, she frowned and scolded: "Han Yi! What are you doing! β
"Han Yi?"
Han Yi repeated her words, snorted coldly and chewed in his mouth, squinting at the man, even more disdainful, and said in his heart that the dog's leg is really a dog's leg, and he will not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.
Even if Wan Jingjing confronts herself like this, she is spineless.
"You are now proficient in shouting one by one." Han Yi said disdainfully, "It seems that you have forgotten the time when you followed me behind me and talked about Sister Yi." β
"Han Yi."
It's all at this step, Wan Jingjing simply tore her face with the person in front of her, and the wooden scoop in her hand was simply thrown on the ground, and cracks were faintly revealed at the bottom.
Han Yi glanced at it and listened to the man say straightforwardly, "What do you want to do?" β
"I don't want to do anything."
Han Yi's attitude was also very straightforward, she scratched her chin lazily, she could see through it, what princess, what harem favorite concubine, they are all fake, she is just a barb released by the family, if you hook it, you will become their ladder to the sky, stepped on by them, but you still stand up willingly, and if you can't hook it, you will become a joke in the mouth of the world, and you will be excluded by others in the clan.
Since no matter how it ends, it is painful, she has to be even more arrogant, and live ten times more arrogantly than before, anyway, the people of the Han family will not kill her for the sake of the family's reputation.
"Cheng Qi is now a big tree in the sky." Han Yi said calmly, "It's intertwined underneath, and I can't move anymore, so I won't hit the stone with an egg or shake the tree with a mayfly, so Wan Jingjing, if you follow me, there will never be room to turn over, but you must also know that even if you can't turn over, don't want to betray me." β
After Han Yi finished speaking, Wan Jingjing was cold from beginning to end, even if she knew that Han Yi would not let herself go easily, but these words really came out of her mouth and into her ears, and the chilling feeling was too real.
"Han Yi, don't think that your uncle is Ge Yuanjun, you can cover the sky with one hand in this Vermilion Bird Tower." Wan Jingjing gritted her teeth and retorted, "The current Xiping is no longer Ge Yuanjun's dominance, whether it is the Chen family or the Cheng family, they can all get a piece of the pie, what confidence do you have to talk to me here." β
"Don't have the confidence?"
Han Yi raised his eyebrows, and the appearance of a lonely ghost who couldn't get rid of it made people palpitate and panic: "No matter how violent and reckless I am, I won't say what I can't do." β
Wan Jingjing's heart was in suspense, and she took two steps forward and glared: "Han Yi, what are you going to do?" β
Han Yi didn't look at her, fiddling with the hair in the water casually, and said, "Although I can't move Cheng Qi, I can't shake the Cheng family." Turning his head to look at Wan Jingjing, he smiled horribly, "But I want your 10,000 ticket numbers...... In this Xiping bankruptcy, it can still be done. β
Sure enough, as soon as Han Yi's threat came out, the blood on Wan Jingjing's face instantly faded like a tide, she looked at Han Yi's smug appearance, and wanted to fan her eyes, but she couldn't, she could only grit her teeth and clasp the edge of the barrel, and picked Han Yi's skin with her eyes.
Seeing Wan Jingjing like this, Han Yi was happy in his heart, and his laughter became more and more bloodthirsty: "Wan Jingjing, I will tell you clearly today, don't want to get rid of me, as long as I Han Yi is in one day, this Xiping will not have any place for you Wan Jingjing, and there will be no place for your Wan Jingjing, nor will there be a piece of land for your ten thousand families." β
With that, she quietly closed her eyes, enjoying the victory at this moment.
Wan Jingjing stared at Han Yi's face viciously, eager to turn her gaze into a knife, cut the person's face into ninety-nine eighty-one pieces and feed it to the dog, took a deep breath, easily suppressed her anger, and walked out with her heavy legs.
"Wait."
Who knew that Han Yi stopped her again.
Wan Jingjing didn't look back.
Han Yi didn't open his eyes either, he still said in the tone that I am the master, you are a dog: "The oil lamp is dimmed, you can change it to a brighter one for me." β
Wan Jingjing didn't speak, walked over and changed the two oil lamps, turned around and went to the back of the screen, and saw the osmanthus oil used by Han Yi to comb her hair, she frowned slightly, then let go again, and looked at the winter clothes that were within reach......
In the depths of Wan Jingjing's dark brown pupils, countless dense silver lights suddenly appeared, like needles, and she turned her head mechanically, and those needles seemed to be able to penetrate the screen in an instant, piercing Han Yi's body completely.
- Wan Jingjing, if you follow me, there will never be room to turn over, but you must also know that even if you can't turn over, you don't want to betray me.
- Wan Jingjing, I will tell you plainly today, you don't want to get rid of me, as long as I Han Yi is in one day, this Xiping will not have any place for you Wan Jingjing, nor will there be a piece of land for your ten thousand families.
Han Yi's words echoed in her mind, Wan Jingjing was gradually swallowed by anger, her limbs began to tremble, she clenched her fists tightly, and after a few seconds, she picked up the osmanthus oil and moved her thoughts.

It's about three o'clock in the morning, that is, it is now more than ten o'clock in the evening, logically speaking, in modern times, this is the time when nightlife has just begun, but here is ancient times, there are no electronic products and no body can gather, so you can only sleep.
CHENG QI NESTLED IN THE HOT QUILT, YAWNED IN A DAZE, AND WAS ABOUT TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF ZHOU GONG'S HELLYKITTY AND DECIDE TO FIGHT A GAME OF BACKGAMMON WITH THE MAN, WHEN COUNTLESS SCREAMS SUDDENLY SOUNDED OUTSIDE THE BUILDING.
"Someone! Walk the water! β
"The bath is out of water!"
"Come and help! The bath is out of the water! β
As a professional habit of a criminal policeman, Cheng Qi suddenly woke up from a daze, and woke up sporadically when she saw the show girls around her, she went to the window barefoot, and found that the bathroom was already in flames.
"What's going on?"
Feng Se also came over, and the dark eyes shone with the fierce flame light: "Good and dignified, how can you go to the water?" Choked on the incoming throat and coughed twice, "That's a bathhouse!" β
Ma Zhen also shook his hand in horror and looked left and right uneasily: "No one will take a bath in the bath, such a big fire...... It won't hurt anyone. β
"Girls!"
Aunt Yun rushed up, at such a moment, she was still calm and calm: "Don't be afraid, girls, there are already guards and minions to fight the fire, stay on the stairs and don't go out!" β
At this time, it was a fool who went out, so everyone responded in unison, only Cheng Qi frowned awkwardly, and then went down to the first floor.
Aunt Yun hurriedly stopped her and persuaded, "Miss Qi, be careful, it's chaotic outside." β
On this staircase, you can hear the sound of running outside, which shows the size of the fire, but Cheng Qi feels that the fire is really strange tonight, and if she remembers correctly, Han Yi should still be taking a bath in the bath.
"I don't go out, I just look at the window on the first floor." Cheng Qi is colorful.
With her current status, who dares to say anything, Aunt Yun saw that Cheng Qi would not be reckless, so she let her go, but she was still not at ease, so she asked a few maids to follow.
And when Cheng Qi went down to the first floor, sure enough, she learned that Han Yi was still in the bath room, she went to the window and watched the people coming and going in the bath room, screaming, burning, and the sound of the wooden building collapsing.
Cheng Qi's brows couldn't be loosened, she remembered something in a trance, turned her head and looked for it on the first floor, she saw Wan Jingjing huddled in a ball on the tent bed, the person buried his head, so that people couldn't see her face.
"Look! It's Han Yi! β
Someone exclaimed, Cheng Qi hurriedly looked over, only to see that in the direction of the bath room, there was a guard who had choked Han Yi who had been choked by the smoke, and the person was fortunately soaking in the bathtub and had no worries about his life.
It's just that people are completely ruined.
She was unclothed, and there were obvious burnt scars on a large part of her skin, and she was dragged and hugged by those guards like this, she was considered unconscious, and if she was awake, she was afraid that even if she died, she would not show herself like this.
"Oh my God! Han Yi ......"
"Han Yi has been burned!"
The show girls who also saw the tragic situation of the person immediately exclaimed, everyone pointed and pointed, and some of them covered their eyes without daring to look, but they still peeked through their fingers.
But the more panicked they shouted, the tighter one person shrank, and that was Wan Jingjing.
Cheng Qi turned his head and connected all the clues in his mind, Han Yi went to the bath room to take a bath, and Wan Jingjing was the only one who went to deliver the winter clothes, but now, the winter clothes were still at the head of her bed, obviously not handed over to Han Yi......
Cheng Qi thought about it, and slowly walked to Wan Jingjing's tent bedside, the whole person was wrapped in the quilt, and he didn't say a word, as if he was frightened by the fire, but Cheng Qi had a gleam in his eyes and felt that something was wrong.
She carefully lifted the corner of the quilt, and sure enough, she saw the corner of Wan Jingjing's winter robe, not only did she wrap herself tightly in order to hide her winter coat, but also because it was stained with osmanthus oil.
