"It's a big fire......

The city of Beijing is very large, and most of the buildings in this year are made of wood, so when the Yu Fu Yin went to report the fire in Dongcheng to the three ministers of the upper study, the fire had spread more than three streets...... The thick black smoke can already be seen in the sky over the entire city of Beijing!

"Heavenly ...... What the hell is going on? "Standing on the highest floor of the mansion with Old Man Fei, looking at the fire in Dongcheng from a distance with a telescope, Prince Guo Asuli was already shocked! …… At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the dignified emperor is naturally equipped with all kinds of measures, how can it be possible to burn such a big fire? Looking at it from afar, I'm afraid that half of the East City has already burned, and if it comes closer, I don't know what kind of scene it will look like.

"How do I know this? ......" Old man Fei didn't put down the binoculars all the time, and he only replied casually when he heard Asuli's question.

"Hmph, someone must be making trouble!" The son of Asuri, that Belle snorted coldly from the side.

"Boy, all you're talking about is!" Turning his head to look at this Baylor, Old Man Fei sneered unceremoniously.

"You ......" was so angry that Old Man Fei's face turned red, but although Lord Belle was indignant, he didn't dare to make any outrageous moves, and he didn't even dare to ridicule him.

"Old man, this matter is not something we can manage, even if we want to, we can't manage it. I think let's get down to business! Asori also ignored his son's deflatedness. Just now, this kid has suffered a lot of losses because of his arrogance. However, in his opinion, "suffering is a blessing", especially his son, who has never listened to people's persuasion, has to have a character like Old Man Fei to rectify it. Now, though, that's not what he's thinking. It's something else. Therefore, he let go of his worries about the fire in Dongcheng and said to Old Man Fei again.

"Serious business? Hehe, I think it's better to forget it! …… After the fire in the East Side, do you think you can still do anything? Old man Fei put down the binoculars and looked at Asuli, shook his head and sighed. Of course he knew what Azuri had come to him for. This time, the nobles of Manchuria entered the customs with a large amount of money, but the investment was unfavorable. Now not only has the large amount of investment in the early stage been trapped, but also a lot of money is owed to the bank. Now that the deadline for repaying the money is coming soon, it is not good for Asuli and others to come to the bank with Mo Qing and others as the background. came to him at this time, naturally I wanted him, an old man, to come forward to help talk, who called him a big man?

"Can't do things? Hmph, old man. What can you do by that? After listening to Old Man Fei's words, the Belle Lord asked unconvinced.

"Such a big fire...... Hmph, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so even those who have the courage to cover the sky do not dare to do this evil thing that is enough to punish the eighteen generations of ancestors. Moreover, even if the number of people is small, they will definitely not be able to burn such a big fire...... You've seen it too. Just now, I'm afraid that the area of Guanwangmiao Street, Huoshenmiao Street, Dongheng'er Hutong, Dizangsi Street, Dongli City, and Xili City has been covered by a sea of fire......" Old Man Fei paused, "Such a big disaster, naturally someone will be unlucky." ”

"What does this have to do with us?" The Lord Belle shouted again.

"It's okay? Hehe, I heard that some time ago, a group of Zhenglan Banner nobles had just sold a lot of land, scraped together enough silver taels, and bought a batch of houses in Dongcheng, I heard that it was planned to rebuild it, and then make another profit...... However, later I heard that those nobles had promised to find a new place for the common people who sold their houses, but in the end they broke their promises and did not care about the life and death of others, and those ordinary people had already made trouble several times, but after the trouble, these ordinary people not only did not take advantage, but were also arrested by the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division, and in the end they had to take money to go to prison to ransom...... You say, "What does this mean?" Old man Fei smiled and looked at Asuli and his son and said. Although the nobles of Manchuria are "expensive", no matter how expensive these people are, how can they be compared to those nobles of the Eight Banners in Beijing? Although the big names in the Beijing Banner didn't come forward much, the relationship between these people and the land is very complicated, and behind these big shots, that is "138 Reading Books". After the arrival of the nobles of Manchuria, because they were afraid of being looked down upon by the people in the Beijing banner, they behaved very arrogantly as soon as they came up, and as a result, they immediately provoked the eyes of those people in the Beijing banner. These people only receive a little monthly rule from the imperial court every year, how can they be compared with the Eight Banners of Manchuria, who often spend tens of thousands of taels? Therefore, these guys in the capital immediately relied on the Manchurian consortium. Although those Manchurian nobles also knew that these people were not easy to mess with, but the people and land in the Beijing Banner were huge, and they were not as good as those Manchurian nobles who were just a group of empty cylinders, and if they did not build a good relationship, it would be even worse if they became an obstacle in turn. Therefore, it was very easy for those people in the Beijing Banner to break into the Manchurian consortium and began to "meddle" everywhere...... And now, the scourge is out.

"This ...... Could it be that the common people set the fire? Asuli father and son glanced at each other, and asked Old Man Fei again in a daze. Is the Blue Flag honorable? Although it is not only the group of people who have a relationship with them, they do know where the land they sold comes from. It is not good to ask them directly for money from these Manchurian nobles, so in the name of cooperation, they use the excuse of introducing the common people to work in the factory and so on, and forcibly buy the people's fields...... They had known that those people would be a group of scourges, but they didn't expect that these guys would be so scourge.

"I think it's nine times out of ten...... Hehe, don't say it, these people really have some skills! They burned Dongcheng with this fire, and when the time came, the law would not blame the people, and the emperor not only could not blame them, but also had to pay to help them rebuild their homes. Moreover, with such a vigorous fuss, the guys who plagued them can't escape, and I'm afraid that even the guys who have something to do with the nobles of the Blue Flag will also be implicated! Old man Fei said as if in his own words.

"Amma, what should we do?" Old man Fei's words made Asuli and his son couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. The burning of Beijing City, even if only a small part of the eastern city was burned, even if they were only slightly implicated, these charges were enough for those of them who had just entered the Guannai from Manchuria. In the face of this possible difficult situation, that Baylor Ye had no idea. began to nervously "ask for help" from his own Lao Tzu.

"What to do? It's all come to this, I know what to do?! ......" Looking at this son, who relies on wealth and a little cleverness, and usually looks like his eyes are above the top, but at this time he has no responsibility at all, Asuli couldn't help but be a little angry, "Isn't it just a little involved?" We don't know what those guys are trying to do! Even if the emperor blames it again, we will go back to Mukden again. Are you afraid of dying like this bear? ”

"Yes...... Amma, I'm also involved in the affairs of Dongcheng! Lord Belle cried miserably.

"What did you say?" Azuri froze.

……

"Tsk...... This fire is burning so fast! I'm afraid it's going to burn to Niangniangmiao Street soon. It can go over the east city to the south city, wonderful, wonderful...... A little further south. Then you're going to the Temple of Heaven! …… What the hell is going on in this Shuntianfu? I can't even control the fire. And the man with the blue flag, don't they have a battalion of soldiers in the East City? It's obviously his own fault, and he doesn't know how to make up for it quickly, he just knows that he is nesting in that dog alley, do they have to wait for this fire to burn them all to see Yan Lao Wu? Old man Fei sighed next to him again, "Hehe, it's interesting, it's really interesting...... During the Qingming Festival, there are many fires, and some people in the city want to break their souls! ”

……

Beijing City is divided according to the Eight Banners, from the Yellow Flag to the Yellow Flag, there is a large area of residence, and the eight places of residence enclose the Forbidden City into a circle, constituting the residence circle of the flag people. Further south in this circle, from west to east, are the five cities (not in a circle, but in a row) in a row (not in a circle, but in a row), and the five cities are responsible for public security, and ordinary people live in them. And among these five cities, the north city, the middle city and the south city are the Xiannongtan and the Temple of Heaven to the south.

It can be said that the Five Cities are the foundation of Beijing, but there was a sudden fire that burned down one of the five cities, Dongcheng. I am afraid that this matter is a little bigger than the fact that more than 100,000 people will soon come to Beijing to collect debts. In the opinion of Tong Guowei and others, money and land, as long as Kangxi agrees, can be solved at any time. The main thing is that the person who caused this trouble will definitely be condemned by Kangxi. However, the consequences of the burning of Beijing are different.

Under the dignity of the emperor, there will be people who are "forced" to set fires...... Whatever the hell this is, a big prison will definitely not escape.

……

Tong Guowei and the others almost wanted to kick this Shuntian Mansion Yin to death on the spot after receiving an urgent report from Yin Yu Zhengjian of Shuntian Mansion and seeing the smoke in the sky from a distance! …… Dongcheng was burned down for such a big thing, you Shuntianfu Yin didn't hurry up to direct the firefighting, but you had to come to report it in person...... Send someone to report this matter casually, and no guy who dares to delay it!

However, although it was expected that things might have reached the point of being out of control, Tong Guowei and others were anxious at the same time, but they had to hurry out of the palace to go to the scene of the fire...... Tong Guowei had no psychological burden, and immediately handed over the task of reporting to Kangxi to two colleagues on the grounds that the fire was urgent, he was a military attaché, and he could rush there on horseback, and let Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, two guys who still had a little bit of morality, face Kangxi's anger, and he himself rushed out...... Anyway, as long as he can put out the fire, he will have made a contribution, and when he comes back, Kangxi should be almost out of anger, and he can face anything relatively calmly.

However, Tong Guowei only cared about escaping from the study, but he forgot what time it was for a while! It's March now, even if the Qingming Festival has passed, the spring breeze is still whirring! The fire borrows the wind, the wind helps the fire, and the weather is dry, so he is not so easy to be the firefighting commander.

……

"What's going on with the water dragon? Spray me with water at the root of the fire, what are you spraying at the flames? ”

The flames are blazing, and the spring breeze is helping to help, rows of wooden houses, as soon as they come into contact with the flames, they suddenly become combustion-fueling, and a house is on fire, often followed by the whole alley is unlucky! Tong Guowei, the head of the dynasty, and the commander of the infantry army, Yamen, etc., all sent troops to help extinguish the fire, plus the men and horses of the Shuntian Mansion and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division sent by Yu Zhengjian before, as well as the water dragon transferred from other parts of the city, could only slightly block the spread of the fire, but could not control it.

"Tong Xiang, there is no water, and there is no water in several wells nearby!" Although Tong Guowei sent a lot of officials to take charge of the command in critical places, these officials may be experts in playing with knives and guns, but they are not even half-hearted in dealing with fires, especially this kind of fire, and they have no experience at all. As soon as something happened, he only knew to ask Tong Guowei, the head.

"Out of water? You won't look for it when there is no water? Can I squirt water? Tong Guowei was furious, and kicked this third-grade military attache who came to report to the ground, and then kicked him twice. These officials are really hopeless!

"Yes, yes......" The third-grade military attache is not something that anyone can kick, but Tong Guowei under the anger makes people feel even more terrifying. Therefore, the military attache did not care about the pain, and got up from the ground with a bone, turned around and went to look for water.

"Today, if you have merit, you will definitely recommend it to the emperor! But if anyone is not good at fighting fires, his appearance will definitely make him regret his three lives! Seeing the figure of the military attache fleeing in a hurry, Tong Guowei hatefully sent someone to send cruel words to all the officials who were presiding over the firefighting. He knows these officials too well, and they are all brave when they grab credit, but if they encounter a time when the credit is not good, these people may run faster than a monkey. Therefore, he had to guard against these people first. Otherwise, I'm afraid even he won't have a good life.

……

"Tong Xiang, let's demolish the house immediately, and make a separation zone first!"

There is not much water in the area where Dongcheng is on fire, and under the vigorous absorption of the firefighting army, these water sources have bottomed out one after another, and the fire has taken advantage of this opportunity to start early, and Tong Guowei is becoming more and more anxious. And just when he was in a hurry, a calm voice appeared behind him.

"Lord Fei......"

It was Old Man Fei who rushed over from afar with Asuli and his son. …… Unconsciously, Tong Guowei has been fighting fires for almost half a day.

"Tong Xiang, let's demolish the house!" Old man Fei urged again.

“…… Demolish the house! "There is no other good way, if you have to wait for water, I am afraid that the fire will really burn to the Temple of Heaven, at that time, don't even think about asking for credit, it is directly a big crime that is not conducive to firefighting! Therefore, Tong Guowei only decisively listened to Old Man Fei's suggestion. …… In fact, with his intellect, he should have thought of this a long time ago, but he had been so anxious and angry by the fire and the incompetence of those officials that he couldn't take it into account at all.

……

As soon as the house is demolished and the clutter is cleaned up, the separation zone is completed. Then, under the pressure of tens of thousands of firefighters, the fire was finally brought under control, and after dark, the fire that spread almost half of Dongcheng was finally extinguished. However, Tong Guowei did not care about resting, and he had to send people to settle the affected people and arrange matters such as preventing the recurrence of the fire. However, soon, he was recruited into the Forbidden City by another major event!

The people are collecting debts, the fire in Dongcheng, these are nothing, because, not long after the fire in Dongcheng, those leading figures in the capital all learned a piece of news from their respective channels: Kangxi was angry and fell ill!
