Chapter 158: Fighting Fire
Kyoto's Baohua Street is a gathering place for traders from all over the country, and most of them transport local specialties to Kyoto at a good price.
Therefore, many merchants in Kyoto have built many inns and restaurants on Baohua Street, as well as many large and small stalls and trading markets.
It can be said that Baohua Street is a very important place for the entire Ming Dynasty commodities of the Kyoto network, and it is also a key place for the Yin Patrol City Division of Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Mother, where are you, Lianlian is scared, woo woo~"
In the midst of the fire, a six- or seven-year-old girl in a pink shirt huddled under the counter of the store, surrounded by a flood of fire.
The scorching heat and pungent smoke made her faint, and the crackling sound of the roof crackling overhead made the little girl's face flushed, and the fire fell into a hole in her clothes.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, the entire shop where the little girl was located suddenly collapsed, and the burnt red wooden stakes fell with a bang.
In the pupils of the little girl with a high nose and blue eyes, the flame that was about to take her life was getting closer and closer.
Just at the last moment, I only heard the deafening sound of words from the sky:
"Sweeping leaves and stunning, wind shield!"
Suddenly, the little girl was surrounded by a strong swirling wind, and all the pillars of fire were thrown out in an instant.
The strong wind blew the fire to the side, and in the lotus lotus's sapphire blue pupils, a handsome man in a red gilt flying fish suit pinched his hands and his hem was blown by the wind.
This scene has always been deeply imprinted in Lianlian's heart, and many years later, she always mentioned it in front of her brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters in her clan.
"Little sister, is there anything hot?"
Lian Lian put her hands on her chest and was stunned for a long time, and finally rushed into Chu Yuan's arms in fear and cried.
Chu Yuan had already led more than 100 people on duty in Nanzhen Fusi to come over to put out the fire.
The ferocious flames scorched his face and hurt fiercely, he threw out the talisman and turned it into a shield, picked up Lianlian and quickly fled from the edge of the fire.
Bai Ze was pacing anxiously on the periphery with his hands behind his back, and when Chu Yuan flew to her side, she shouted at the top of her voice: "You don't want to die, what are you doing in the Tianxuan Realm that can't even mobilize Xuan Qi!" ”
Lianlian, who had gradually stopped crying, was frightened by Bai Ze and cried loudly again.
Only then did Bai Ze discover that there was a little girl hiding behind Chu Yuan who was tugging at his hem, and Bai Ze couldn't help but sneer coldly: "Nosy heroes." ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense, have all the people from our yamen been scattered?"
"Of course, you're suspicious of the old lady...... Hey, you give me back, madman! ”
Chu Yuan heard a rapid and faint cry for help in his ears, turned around and rushed into the sea of fire again, leaving Bai Ze angrily stamping his feet.
Besides, whether Chu Yuanrao had a three-layer talisman shield applied to his body or was roasted and sweating profusely, suddenly he looked up and saw several Wang Xuan realm masters flying over his head.
The one who flew at the front for the first time seemed to be about to break through to the Huangxuan realm.
He hurriedly raised his head and shouted: "Seniors, can you first divide half of the people to save the trapped people who have not escaped!" ”
Chu Yuan's figure was very dazzling in the sea of fire, and Wang Mingyi, the head of the City Patrol Division, turned around and asked, "Are you the people from our City Patrol Division below?" ”
A young officer squinted and said, "No, it's the person of the brocade guard, wearing a red robe!" ”
"Cut~ The sun has really hit the west and come out these years, when did the Jinyi Wei officials start to rush to the forefront, let him go, a person from the Tianxuan realm dares to come in and look for death!"
"Yes!"
"Listen to the people below, no matter what official position you have, please leave immediately to avoid more casualties!"
Chu Yuan gritted his teeth and raised his middle finger at them, turned his head and jumped into the fiercest sea of fire.
The fire spread for half an hour, and finally the fire was brought under control with the help of many Wang Xuan masters and scattered cultivators in Beijing.
The entire bustling Baohua Street was only a mess of ruins at this time, and Chu Yuan, who was covered with dirt and dirt, couldn't help but tremble when he walked on the road full of wood ashes and saw the corpse that had been almost burned to charcoal pulled out from between the bricks and tiles.
The desolate cries and screams in my ears were endless, and some shopkeepers who had escaped were collapsing under their original lintels, beating their chests and feet.
Chu Yuan, who was already exhausted, sat casually on a fairly smooth stone that had been blackened and watched the officers and soldiers of the City Patrol Division and Jingzhao Mansion Yin evacuate the crowd.
More than 100 people who were transferred out of the Jinyi Guard walked through the human wall of the City Patrol Division and walked to Chu Yuan's side.
This group of people now looks similar to Chu Yuan, and most of them have complaints on their faces.
After all, this rescue and fire fighting is not the duty of Jinyiwei, in their eyes, this is called meddling.
"Your Excellency, we have assisted many parties to control the fire, and fourteen of them were accidentally injured by the collapsed house, and they have been sent back to the Yamen for treatment."
"Okay, very good, write down all fourteen of them, and I'll reward them again in the future!"
Chu Yuan's face suddenly changed, and he stood up with his sword eyebrows standing sideways and looked around at all the brocade guards present one by one.
"I know that some of you must be scolding your mother in your hearts now, saying something that shouldn't be our Jinyi Guard Yamen official, this newly appointed pacification envoy has to ask his mother to take care of this fateful matter."
"I also know that many of you rely on your family connections to gild the yamen."
Chu Yuan's voice became high-pitched: "But Lao Tzu told you, if you have anger for Lao Tzu to hold, now Lao Tzu is your top boss, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of Lao Tzu, I will let him disappear from the officialdom from now on!" ”
"Lao Tzu takes this opportunity to say hello to you in advance, if anyone can't stand it, take advantage of the relationship to get out of Lao Tzu!"
The deputy Qianhu of Shangzhong, that is, Zhang Kun, who came forward to report the situation just now, was closest to Chu Yuan, and he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Why do you want to say such things, the brothers in the middle of the night were suddenly shouted out, and it is inevitable that there is some resentment in your heart, you have just taken office, if you provoke them with words like this, it will not be safe." ”
Chu Yuan did not lose his mind, although Zhang Kun's words were a little too straightforward and a little radical, but Chu Yuan also heard his kindness, so he patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "What's the hurry, I haven't finished talking yet." ”
I saw Chu Yuan's left hand flashing, and a stack of silver tickets appeared in his hand.
"Here are 20,000 taels of silver tickets, don't tell Lao Tzu that it's okay to have money in the family, this pile is distributed to everyone, two thousand taels, if you don't get it, you can report it to other brothers."
Chu Yuan has a thorough understanding of them, but as long as they are still on duty during this time period, they can be mobilized, and no matter how hard the relationship can be, there will not be too much idle silver in their hands.
Sure enough, when they heard that each person could receive two thousand taels of silver, the tiredness and resentment on their faces suddenly vanished.
"There's a smile on this occasion?"
Chu Yuan stuffed the silver ticket into Zhang Kun's hand and turned around and said: "Let's have a different face today, Lao Tzu doesn't like to use official positions to oppress people, don't say anything else, as long as the rules and regulations are safe and listen to Lao Tzu's arrangement, this silver is enough!" ”
"Your Excellency is mighty, your Excellency is mighty!"
Just kidding, those Jinyi guards who passed the assessment by their own skills, not to mention the ordinary captains and wrestlers at the lowest level, let's just say that the general flag of Xiaoqi, which has a bit of an official position, is only less than five hundred taels a year.
The merits of 100 households in a year are only 1,200 taels.
And Chu Yuan glanced at them, except for Zhang Kun, the deputy thousand households, there were only 100 households, 100 trial households, and the rest were mostly school captains, so he didn't believe that this white silver couldn't smash a pit.
"Okay, okay," Chu Yuan kicked Zhang Kun, who was leading the shouting, "Hurry up and get out of the way for Lao Tzu, and go back to the yamen to wash before the shift." ”
"Look at the way you look now, can you still be called Jinyiwei, you're about to catch up with the beggars."
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused laughter.
Chu Yuan's cold and serious at first and his current humor were all remembered by them, but in the eyes of their group of young people, it may not be clear, what really impressed them was the mud and dirt on Chu Yuan's red flying fish suit.
After they left, Chu Yuan just wanted to sit down and rest, when he heard Bai Ze's fart explosion: "Jun boy, you are a crazy person, how can you be so deadly!" ”
"Okay, can you find me saliva to drink first, my throat is smoking."
