The backyard of the government.

It's not the first time Chen Yuan has seen Lin Yuan: "The last time I saw you, you fought with Niu Ben beyond recognition and almost died. ”

Lin Yuan's face did not change, and he kowtowed to Chen Yuan indifferently: "Meet the adults." ”

"What?" Chen Yuan was not kind to Lin Yuan's arrival.

Lin Lan took out the letter from his bosom and the copper coin wrapped in red silk: "When the prince was not dead, he had already made an explanation, and the boy would ask the prefect to submit this letter if he had something." ”

The corners of Chen Yuan's eyes were a little displeased: "Ao, it turned out that something happened." ”

Lin Yan shook his head: "No, how dare the kid disturb the adult." This is the kindness of the prince and the adult, and has nothing to do with the boy. ”

"The prince is going west, this matter is over."

The displeasure in the corners of Chen Yuan's eyes gradually dissipated, and Lin Yuan's words were unexpected.

Along with the letters, there were also copper coins that had been stringed together.

Lin Mian's head was lowered: "The kid has no valuables at home, thinking that he can't come empty-handed, so he will be more vulgar." ”

Chen Yuan became interested in Lin Lan: "Money is very clichéd!" ”

When I opened King Zhao's letter, there was a letter of recommendation written to the third division, and I thought of many past events.

"This official is a student of Yunzhou, and he has not been admitted to the Jinshi, and it is the prince's recommendation that the official is lucky to fill the vacancy in his hometown."

"Sit down."

Lin Lan held his legs, which were a little sore, and arched his hand again: "Lord Xie." ”

Lin Lan didn't dare to sit full, only dared to dip half of his butt on the stone bench, which was very respectful.

Chen Yuan looked at Lin Lan again, and the Wu Dynasty pardoned the criminals; The great talent in the mouth of the prince; The young man in front of him is like a junior.

"I heard that you don't get along well with Niu Ben, the official of this mansion?"

Yunzhou is not big, and the story of Lin Lan and Niu Ben's fight has spread all over the government.

Lin Lan rubbed his hands: "The kid will be careful to avoid him, but to deal with this kind of person, he can only fight for his life, and he must not be soft." ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "You have experience. ”

The two talked some more gossip, and Lin Lan left the mansion.

On the side of the medical hall, Meng Liang was still sitting at the door, different from before, his face was less arrogant and more ashamed.

Lin Yan first went to the Zhu family tavern in front to get a table of wine and food, and beckoned Meng Liang to eat together.

The two casually pulled a small square table to sit opposite each other, and Meng Liang kept his head down.

Lin Yan stuffed the chopsticks into his hand: "Don't be restrained, I won't drive you away." ”

Meng Liang didn't know what to say to thank you: "Thank you for taking it in." ”

Lin Lan's voice was a little quieter: "Tomorrow, you go to the government office in advance and help put out the fire when you go to the water." ”

"Remember to babble in front of the prefect, Niu Ben stole something."

Meng Liang finally dared to raise his head and stare at Lin Lan, and found that the expression on Lin Lan's face was not as indifferent as usual: "Will the mansion catch fire?" ”

Lin Lan didn't talk much: "Maybe." ”

The Lin Lan that Meng Liang knew was a very good person, but the Lin Lan in front of him was more mysterious.

After eating, Lin Lan did not go to the backyard to find bad luck, but held the medical book and did not let go, and wrote down what was written on it in his mind as soon as possible.

Lin Lan doesn't care about Shu Trace Glue, he doesn't care about Song Xiaoai, because he is a passer-by, and he has no intention or desire.

King Zhao's death was a bucket of cold water, poured from the head to the bottom.

He held his breath in his heart, a breath that made him extremely depressed and unable to exhale.

Following.

The scorching sun turned Yunzhou into a furnace, and rows of dwellings twisted in the air.

Meng Liang's starched robe was glued to his body, with obvious wet stains, and his eyes were fixed on the Yunzhou Mansion.

As the sun rises, the noisy chirping of cicadas makes it even more irritating, and the heat on the ground seeps into every corner of the city.

It's hot outside the house, and it's just as stuffy inside.

Meng Lianghe gasped heavily, in such weather, wouldn't it be going to burn the whole city if he really went to the water.

"It's out of the water!"

The jailer in the government shouted: "It's water, it's water." ”

Meng Liang wiped his sweat and rushed into the palace.

The jailers ran to the backyard with buckets, and smoke was already rising from the palace.

Meng Liang also blended in with the firefighting crowd and helped splash water.

The fire on the ground became another sun, and the fire was fierce.

Chen Yuan came after him and hurriedly shouted at the firefighters: "Kick the house down, quickly!" ”

As soon as the fire started, if it spread, I don't know how many houses would be burned.

When the jailers heard Chen Yuan's words, they hurriedly picked up the long sticks and pressed them against the house wall together.

More than a dozen water and fire sticks against the roasted hot earthen wall, and everyone worked hard to make a move: "Push!" ”

The house in the palace was made of a mixture of earth and gravel, and it was not solid, and it collapsed after a few pushes.

Three low houses collapsed, causing a puff of dust and smoke, and the fire was temporarily buried by debris.

Although the house fell, the fire was not extinguished, and the people continued to fetch water to put out the fire.

Chen Yuan frowned, but he did not relax because he controlled the fire, the house where the fire started was his residence in the mansion, and the room next to it was the register of the people of Yunzhou.

The register of origin was destroyed, and the prefect bore the brunt of it.

The fire has not yet been extinguished, and many people have also gone to the government to put out the fire.

There were more and more people, and the fire finally became smaller.

"My lord, fortunately, it didn't happen."

"Yes, it's too permeable to walk on such a day."

Not only did many people come, but the Yunzhou Mansion Army also came.

Chen Yuan said that it was okay, and arched his hand towards the person who came to put out the fire: "I have to thank you." ”

There is not one in the book of origin, and Rao is the remaining part, which is also black.

It was not until the evening that the site was cleaned up.

Chen Yuan collapsed to the ground tiredly, he was not a Jinshi, and the officials looked at the prince's face to keep him.

Now that the prince is gone, he has made a mistake again, and his career is over.

"You all disperse, and the rest of the matter can be done by the official himself."

After saving the fire for a day, the officials were also tired and retreated towards Chen Yuan.

Meng Liang was the last to go, and after taking a few steps, he suddenly turned his head and spoke to the air next to him: "Niu Ben, that guy, left with the money in his arms." ”

Meng Liang's words were just right, not too emphasized, and his tone was a little hidden.

The voice was three points smaller, and it was actually a different person's timbre: "Quieter, Niu Ben is something you and I can afford?" ”

"Yes, yes, let's go."

Niu Ben?

Chen Yuan glanced at the objects on the ground that had not been burned, but did not find the usual money sent by Lin Yuan, indicating that the money was stolen.

How can a fire start for no reason?

Several of the houses were devoid of fire oil, and someone must have deliberately set them on fire. When the fire burned, the people did not come in, but the people inside the yamen threw themselves into the fire.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan roared: "Prepare the horse, I'll go find Captain Zhu." ”

If the sound of horses' hooves can still be heard in Yunzhou's son, it is a great event.

Lin Mian held the medical book in his hand, and read the words in the moonlight through the crack of the door, and the figure jumped on the paper.

The Xiang army has entered the city!

Lin Lan quietly got up, picked up the white phosphorus tank in the cabinet, and dug a deep pit in the courtyard to bury it.

There will be a kind of person, when I first see it, it is like March spring, the spring breeze is blowing, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the eyes are full of sunshine.

But this kind of person has reverse scales, and once it is moved, it is like a hungry tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable.
