Chapter 15: Do it again
Zuo Xingyan eagerly turned the pile of gold and silver jewelry upside down, but he didn't even find half a jade pendant.
The jade artifacts she had searched for in the palace seemed to have evaporated out of thin air.
The gold and silver are still there, and there is no shortage of ordinary jewelry, except for jade and jade.
Even the emperor's jade seal is gone.
Zuo Xingyan was extremely annoyed, could it be that she was careless when she searched and leaked those jade artifacts?
"Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, wake up! ”
Just when Zuo Xingyan wanted to flip through it again, Jing Yannian's anxious call suddenly sounded in his ears.
She was startled, and quickly left the space, opening her eyes suddenly.
As soon as you open your eyes, you will see a sea of fire.
"What's going on?"
There was a choking smoke from the tip of his nose, Zuo Xingyan hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, and subconsciously looked at Jing Beihan.
Jing Beihan leaned against the wall and bowed slightly, with his back to Zuo Xingyan, as if he was planning to carry her.
"Someone set fire, quickly find something to cover your face, and in a moment I will kick the cell door open, you run quickly."
Jing Beihan was tall, inhaled some smoke, and his voice was a little hoarse.
The people of the Jing family also woke up one after another, and they were so anxious that they were in a mess, like ants on a hot pot.
Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian had already rushed to the cell door, trying to get the door open and let the family escape.
Zuo Xingyan came back to his senses, quickly got up, pulled a few pieces of cloth, soaked them in water, and handed them to Jing Yannian and Jing Beihan.
Several men covered their mouths and noses, bowed down to avoid the smoke above, and headed for the door of the cell.
The rest of the Jing family lay on the small window of the cell and called for help, and in a panic, they didn't know who stepped on whom, and more than a dozen people huddled together, shouting and screaming.
The cells were made of wood and almost caught on fire.
After a while, the cell was as hot as a steamer, and several frail female dependents of the Jing family were already unconscious.
Jing Beihan was supported by Jing Yannian, and finally squeezed to the prison door.
Jing Zhong and Jing Jingnian were wearing shackles, and they couldn't break open the door after a long time.
"Get out of the way!"
Zuo Xingyan saw that the father and son were huddled there for a long time and didn't get out of the way, so he couldn't help but step forward irritably and pulled them apart.
Jing Yannian originally thought that he would kick the door, they are now exiled prisoners, even if they kicked the door to escape because of the fire, it is estimated that they will be questioned in the end.
When the time comes, it will be inevitable to be whipped, Jing Yannian thinks that he is young and strong, and it is nothing to be whipped.
But before he could make a move, Zuo Xingyan rushed forward.
Before he could say anything, he saw that the prison door had been opened!
Zuo Xingyan condensed the wind ability into substance, drilled into the keyhole hanging outside the door, stirred it up, and directly opened the lock.
The iron lock fell, and the wooden door was kicked open by Zuo Xingyan, and everyone rushed out.
Smoke billowed out of his head.
After coming out, the Jing family was even more desperate, it turned out that the fire outside was even bigger, and the entire post station was shrouded in fire.
No wonder Song Chatou didn't come to save them in time.
Jing Zhong's father and son reacted quickly, found a location with a small fire, and rushed out with everyone.
The ladies were carried and dragged by men, and their shoes were lost, and they didn't bother to pick them up.
At the same time, Song Chatou and a group of yacha, who had finally escaped from the post station, were staring at the sea of fire that was burning more and more with a bitter face, and they felt a burst of despair.
Although the exiled prisoners were all serious crimes, since they were sentenced to exile, the officials had to escort them alive to the place of exile.
If the offender dies in the middle of the way, the official will be held responsible.
But now that the fire is so big, the Jing family is locked in a cell and can't get out, and they can't get in at all, and I'm afraid none of these prisoners will survive.
The prisoners escorted were all dead, and several of them were afraid that they would also live to the end.
Resentment and despair appeared in Song Cha's eyes, "It's so fucking ruthless!" ”
Those people in the capital not only wanted to kill Jing Beihan, but they also wanted to kill everyone, even their yacha didn't want to live.
is so ruthless, aren't you afraid that the people under your hands will be cold?
"My lord! Out, out......"
Just as Song Chatou was secretly cursing, a yacha pointed to the other side door of the post station and stammered.
"What's coming out?"
Song Chatou was in a very bad mood, muttered impatiently, and looked at the hand of the yacha.
When he saw that it was Jing Zhong and them rushing out of the fire, Song Cha's eyes were straight, and he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly said, "Don't go and pick up people yet!" ”
Only then did the officials rush over to save people.
Song Chatou's mood had experienced ups and downs in just a few moments, and at this moment, he looked at Jing Zhong and the others, as if he was looking at a life-saving benefactor.
Fortunately, they came out alive, otherwise the people who escorted them would have lost their heads.
Jing Zhong and the others were choked by the smoke and coughed, and their eyes hurt terribly.
The family sat on the ground, crying and coughing, and their faces were full of panic and happiness for the rest of their lives.
Zuo Xingyan and the others had wet cloths to cover their mouths and noses, but it was no big deal.
It's just that when she was about to come out, a piece of red wood smashed into Zuo Xingyan, Jing Yannian helped her block it, and it was estimated that her arm was burned.
Zuo Xingyan hurriedly found the herbs for treating burns in the space, and put them in the baggage in advance, planning to bandage Jing Yannian after no one paid attention for a while.
The officials didn't care about scolding these prisoners at this time, so they hurriedly handed them water, and then began to check whether there was a shortage of people.
After determining that there was a lot, the yacha breathed a sigh of relief.
The fire at the inn was still burning, and although many people brought water from their homes to put it out, it was about the same as a drop in the bucket.
The fire burned until dawn, and then slowly went out.
It is estimated that he was frightened last night, and Song Chatou was kind-hearted early in the morning, and directly gave the Jing family two vegetable buns per person.
After walking for so many days, I didn't even see a bit of meat in my mouth, and the vegetable buns were already delicious for the Jing family.
When everyone was gobbling up the buns, Zuo Xingyan unhurriedly gave one of the buns to Jing Zhong and his wife.
Jing Zhong looked at the bun in his hand, and his face blackened by the smoke flashed helplessly, "You kid ......"
Before he finished speaking, Zuo Xingyan turned around and returned to the back of the team.
Jing Zhong had no choice but to sigh and hand the bun to his wife.
Fan has been paying attention to Zuo Xingyan's every move these days, hesitating for a moment to take the bun, breaking it in half, and stuffing the large part into Jing Zhong's hand.
"Jing Nian, let's eat it."
Jing Zhong gave half a bun to Jing Jingnian again.
A bun was pushed back and forth by a family of three, and finally entered the stomach.
"Actually, you don't have to."
Jing Beihan looked at Zuo Xingyan who walked back, his tone was calm, and he couldn't hear any emotion.
Zuo Xingyan didn't care, "I'm not bad for that bite to eat, besides, it's not a good thing for us that they starved to death." ”
"......" Jing Beihan choked on these words.
"Let's go when we're done eating!"
Song Chatou has been gloomy since he sent the buns, and he doesn't know what he is thinking.
