The fire next door is getting bigger and bigger.

The doors and windows beeped with burning wood. There was the occasional sound of damp wood burning.

The smoke spread, and everyone couldn't hold back their coughs.

The crowd couldn't wait any longer, and hurried to open the door.

Even half of the doors and windows of this room have begun to burn.

When I went out along the door, I saw three people dressed as officers and soldiers coming up: "Are you okay, my lord?" ”

This is the man from the infantry battalion who had just hid and was not killed.

Zhou Shilang waved his hand: "That group of people are gone?" ”

The three of them said they were leaving.

The group helped each other downstairs, and Su Nancheng walked while supporting a person who couldn't walk.

Lord Liu stumbled.

Landing on the right foot is a pain in the heart.

"This fire has started and cannot be kept." An officer and soldier said.

"Wait a minute, what if those people are waiting for us to get out?" Su Nancheng coughed: "It's too dark outside, let's go out from here and be the target." Go to the yard first. "Fortunately, this inn is a front and back yard, if there is no front yard, it would be unlucky.

"Yes, listen to Nancheng. Don't go out yet, let's stand at the gate. Feel free to go out. Zhou Shilang also coughed.

Everyone stood at the door, and Lord Liu couldn't stand and gave him a bench to sit on. The bodies of the innkeeper and Xiao Er, as well as the seven dead officers and soldiers, were all downstairs. Then there were the miscellaneous workers in the inn and the cattle feeders, and they were basically dead.

"These corpses should also be pulled out, and tonight's incident may have something to do with whom." Zhou Shilang said.

The three officers and soldiers nodded, and the brothers who left Beijing together also had to collect the bodies. The corpses were pulled to the door first, and everyone listened quietly to the movement outside.

After everyone waited for a while, the fire grew bigger and bigger. The entire façade of the second floor was on fire.

From time to time, sparks fall, gradually setting light on the first floor. Although they are all in the yard, they will not suffocate or choke to death. But the feeling of the approaching tongue of fire is still very uncomfortable.

In order to observe, the door on the first floor was open when they came out, and the fire grew worse and worse in the middle of the night.

It's even more so in the backyard, which is probably going to burn down.

It was at this time that I finally heard someone coming outside.

When I arrived at the door, I heard that it was an officer and soldier.

The leader is Zhou Shijiang, the magistrate of Mao County.

He said eagerly: "Hurry up, save people, what about the people of the fire brigade?" ”

Finally seeing his own people, Zhou Shilang also breathed a sigh of relief and commanded people to open the door.

"Who's on the other side?" Zhou Shijiang and his entourage asked while holding torches.

"This official is Zhou Ying, the waiter of the Ministry of Works." Zhou Shilang said.

"Ouch! The lower officials meet Lord Zhou, how are you? Zhou Shijiang was too busy to come over.

"Nothing." Zhou Shilang waved his hand: "Zhou Zhixian doesn't need to be polite. ”

"Hurry up, help the adults out. It's good that you didn't get hurt. "Zhou Zhixian personally came to help Zhou Shilang.

Zhou Shilang waved his hand, refusing to ask him to help, but stretched out his hand in front of Sunan Cheng.

Zhou Zhixian was not embarrassed, and looked at them with a smile.

Su Nancheng helped him and instructed Lian Sheng: "It's good to hold Lord Liu." ”

Lord Liu's little servant...... peed his pants, and he was already disgusted to death by Lord Liu.

After everyone left the fire, the people from the firefighting team brought by Zhou Zhixian rushed into the fire.

The corpses were also brought out.

At this time, he was out of danger, and Sunan Cheng had time to look at the sky, and found that the sky was already white.

He didn't know exactly what time of the night happened, anyway, the sky was about to dawn.

Zhou Zhixian first took them to the county government to live temporarily.

When I arrived at the county office, it began to dawn.

The group was disgraced and had basically no image to speak of.

Su Nancheng was wearing civilian clothes, a light blue robe. Now it's also a flower. Burned, scratched, can't be seen anyway.

It was only then that he felt the pain in his ribs and sternum. Originally, the injury last time was not completely healed, but it didn't hurt if it didn't move.

Last night, I tossed so much, smashing the wall and moving the table, I used too much force.

A pair of hands, too, the oily skin of the palms is all gone.

I didn't feel nervous before, but it hurts.

Lian Sheng was worried about washing his hands: "Although this is only a layer of skin, the wound is too big, let's take some medicine." ”

Su Nancheng nodded: "Come on, someone will come to ask later." ”

Su Nancheng looked at Lian Sheng's face and laughed: "Wash your face for a while." ”

Lian Sheng nodded: "You too." ”

Sunan Cheng laughed again.

This group of Shangguan from the capital is not as good as the beggars.

This Zhou Zhixian is very good at handling things, and before delivering breakfast, he sent new clothes everywhere.

They are all bought by ready-to-wear stores, and they are all made of the best materials.

Anyway, everyone will change into a body, so that they will not be too embarrassed.

Of course, in fact, everyone's official positions are different, their identities are different, and wearing the same clothes is also very embarrassing.

Breakfast was eaten at the back of the county office, and after tossing for half the night, everyone was basically hungry.

After washing, you will know who is hurt.

In addition to Lord Liu, who had swollen feet like steamed buns, there were several injured.

The hands of the two young adults were so shaky that they couldn't hold the chopsticks.

It's all tired from hitting the wall.

The little guy who peed his pants didn't know where he was sent to.

The other servants were also eating together.

Su Nancheng sat down, and Zhou Shilang said, "Nancheng, are you hurt?" ”

Su Nancheng raised his hand: "I didn't think it before, but I found out that the palm of my hand is no longer skinny." The ribs and sternum also hurt, and the old injuries were not healed before. Hey......"

"Ouch, I'm guilty. It's okay, take care of it, let's rest for a few days and then go on patrol. Zhou Shilang sighed: "This is also a helpless thing." ”

"Walking is not in the way, let's go earlier, if there is a problem with the dam......" Su Nancheng was embarrassed.

That's ugly.

Zhou Shilang nodded: "That's right, but I have to settle down today." The locals are going to send someone to follow. The identity of this group of robbers must also be reported. ”

"Zhou Zhi County, there are such people in the local area, don't you know?"

Zhou Zhixian was worried early in the morning, so he waited for this sentence.

"Lord Zhou is tolerant, and the lower officials are really wronged. Although this Peacock Divine Sect has been around for a long time, there is no prohibition in our Great Yuan Law. They've always been small-scale, never so crazy as they are now. This is the first time I've ever experienced it. ”

"The lower officials have already sent someone to arrest people, but it's just ...... Most of the members of this Divine Cult are ordinary people......"

"The people dare to come and kill the officials?" Lord Liu said angrily: "Obviously, they are going to kill us." According to you, could it be that we have wronged them? ”

"No, no, no, Lord Liu is angry. What Xia Guan means is that they are wolf ambitions, but they were just pretending to be good before. This is all due to the lax rule of the lower officials. It's important to catch these thieves first. ”

"Zhou Zhixian is still informed, this group of people is so bold, I'm afraid it's not just in your Mao County." Sunan Cheng Road.
