Chapter Seventy-One: Fire
"Very good, very good. So be it. Xiao Chengyu waved his hand indifferently, "Those who are interested should stand up and report their names now!" ”
The businessmen in the lower seat looked at each other, but none of them dared to take the lead in coming out.
Suddenly, a young man behind him stood up calmly, his voice clear and powerful.
"Dadu Protection, Cui Changshi, the grass people are willing to give up their lives."
Yao Yun was very curious, and couldn't help but look up slightly, it turned out to be a young and handsome child in Chinese clothes.
"What a spirit, may I ask who you are?" Cui Changlin smiled.
"The grass people are Shiro of the Jiang family in Yizhou, Jiang Ziqian. The grass people are willing to be this early adopter and share their worries for Dadu Hu and Cui Changshi. ”
Some people dare to take the lead and take the lead, and the people behind them have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, all wanting to get a share of the big pot of salt merchants, which will never lose money.
He caught a glimpse of Dadu's protective eyes signaling that he could retreat, and Cui Changlin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The big drama has been completed, please enter the urn.
The businessmen began to get up and line up to sign up, looking jubilant, but the state officials in front of them were gloomy, and everyone was gloomy, looking around, humming and chirping.
The monopoly salt system is a windfall profit from government taxation, which has been stable for a long time and is as solid as a rock. If the salt tax system is moved, it is a secretly advantageous way for them to bend the law for bribes, and they will certainly be extremely unhappy.
Boom-boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud roar and the earth shook.
It was a loud noise not far from the back of the yard!
Yao Yun was startled, and exclaimed in a suppressed voice: "Du Hu, it seems to be, it is the direction of the dungeon!" ”
The guards outside hurriedly came to report that the dungeon was on fire!
Xiao Chengyu reacted very quickly, picked up her jade shoulder like a kitten and got up, and did not forget to tell Xiao Er and Fourteen to take care of her before leaving.
Cui Changlin and Xu Tai's eyes sank, and they hurriedly followed Du Hu out. Everyone in the main hall suddenly felt bad, and it soon became a pot of porridge.
Yao Yun was about to step out of the room, and was stunned suddenly, looking back at the people in the room, trying to see if there were people who should have been here but were not here at this time. It's a pity that Lang Jun, Mrs. and the ladies are all a mess and run around in a panic.
Unable to see any name, she sighed helplessly, it was better to go to the dungeon and take a look.
Yao Yun gasped and trotted in front of him, but he could only see the man's extremely gloomy face.
"Duhu, what's wrong?"
Xiao Chengyu's thin lips were tightly closed, and he shook his head heavily.
The smoke poured out of the dungeon door, and the guards who were choking on the fire could only be blocked in front of the narrow door. There was a loud rumbling and crackling roar of ups and downs, and it should have been that the wooden supports were constantly shattering, collapsing, and annihilating one after another......
Xiao Shishi's eyes were swollen from crying, and he wanted to rush in to save people if he wanted to die or live, but he could only be dragged to the ground by Xue Huai and Xiao Er.
At this moment, Yao Yun also panicked, trembling and softening her legs several times, her eyes were scarlet, her eyes were full of tears, inside, inside, and Xiao Thirteen, who she personally ordered to guard the girl, he was only three or four years older than Fourteen, and he was not even as old as the weak crown.
"Where's the wooden door at the back? Go, find someone and knock it out......"
She limped her legs and wanted to run back, but Xiao Chengyu quickly grabbed her arm.
"Xiao Chengyu, I, I'll take a look, maybe, maybe there will be a way......"
He wrapped his arms around her with both hands, and said in a dull and hoarse voice: "Calm down, I have already sent someone to hit it, but I can't hit it, and someone deliberately sealed it from the inside." ”
"How, how is it possible...... How can it be...... Xiao Chengyu, he, he is only seventeen years old, and he is still a young man with a bright future...... How, how could it be ......"
Yao Yun gasped sharply, collapsed to the ground weakly, and cried out heartbreakingly.
Xiao Chengyu escorted her and squatted down, patting her back to help her calm down.
He looked into the depths of the dungeon where the smoke was blowing wide, and his dark eyes were as cold as a deep black hole with no bottom visible, as deep as a torch.
Today's revenge will be repaid a hundredfold in the future!
"Yun Niang, can I let Xue Huai send you back to rest first?"
Xiao Chengyu saw that she gasped slightly, and finally asked softly.
Yao Yun grabbed the man's arm tightly, raised his eyes to look at the door of the dungeon where the smoke was fading, his eyes were cold, and he shook his head resolutely.
"No, I'm going to see Thirteen come out with my own eyes so I can remember it forever, remember it forever."
After a long time, several guards finally carried the people inside. There are two gatekeepers, Xiao Thirteen, and the girl who misses the girl.
Yao Yun didn't hesitate to take a step forward, but was stopped by the man behind him.
"Thirteen's countenance is terrifying, and it cannot be ......"
"Xiao Chengyu, I'll just take a look, maybe I can see the cause of his death." Yao Yun interrupted him quietly, his eyes as clear as a fierce candle flame, as if he was about to burn and devour people.
Yao Yun once illustrated the popular novel "The Legend of Di Gong". She is also fascinated by this series of novels, and has read them several times. In order to be realistic, she also deliberately looked for a job to learn and delve into human anatomy and autopsy techniques.
She leaned forward to check, only to see Xiao Shisan's eyebrows and thin lips tightly closed, his face was pale and blue, and he had lost the slightest vitality.
Looking to the other side, her eyes were over, and she suddenly threw herself down excitedly on the body of the lady who was missing, and shouted in panic: "Du Hu, the lady is still alive, there is still breath, quickly, quickly call Lang Zhong ......"
As soon as these words came out, the two exchanged glances with a tacit understanding.
Xiao Chengyu quickly took over her words: "Xiao Er, carry the person back to the side courtyard and ask Lang Zhong to ......"
Xiao Er ordered the two guards to lift the stretcher of Nian Nian's mother together, and hurriedly ran to the backyard with people. It was too late for the crowd around them to take a closer look.
Yao Yun settled down, and then turned around to explore Xiao Shisan's body.
His face was extremely calm, his limbs were comfortable, his fingers were weak, and he did not struggle to scratch or curl up hard. She half-crouched down in front of him, raising her hand to press his jaw slightly, causing her thin white lips to open. She looked inside, and it was as red as usual, with no tooth marks, and not the slightest trace of blackening and burning.
She stood up with her legs trembling on the rocky ground, and Xiao Chengyu quickly reached out to support her.
"How's it going?"
"Fortunately, fortunately, Thirteen didn't suffer too much when he died." She grabbed his hand tightly and kept her voice as low as she could, "But he didn't choke on the smoke, he was out of breath before the fire started." ”
