Chapter 44: Naked Robbery
As the saying goes, the one who sins, kills first, and then sets fire.
It was impossible for Chen Kan to kill Zhu Jixi, so he chose to set fire to vent his hatred for Zhu Jixi.
Of course, how to set the fire is also very particular.
The fire set by Chen Kan could neither kill people nor spread the fire.
That's why he asked people to burn the gate first.
Because burning the gate first can play two roles, the first is to slap the face, and the second is to warn.
In this era, the gate largely represents the face of the family. The burning of the gate of the annex was enough to make Zhu Jixi lose face.
And the early warning is to leave enough time for Zhu Jixi and the people in the house to escape.
Of course, Chen Kan didn't dare to really burn Zhu Jixi to death.
The waterwheels filled with fire oil will only start directing the fire to other buildings in the house after confirming that Zhu Jixi has evacuated through the back door.
Under Fang Xu's escort, Chen Kan rushed all the way towards the back door of the Jin King's Courtyard.
put such a big fire and didn't show his face in front of Zhu Jixi, how could Chen Kan be willing.
Not long after, Fang Xu took Chen Kan to a street corner.
Fang Xu pointed to a small door and said, "My lord, that is the back door of the Jin Palace." β
Maybe the fire hasn't spread at this time, or maybe the guards of the Jin Palace's mansion are really not strong enough.
Anyway, the door is still closed.
Chen Kan's brows furrowed slightly.
"Go tell them, direct the fire back a little, and force Zhu Jixi to escape."
"Yes."
The people Fang Xu brought were all the people who had participated in the siege and killing of the assassins outside the city yesterday.
For them, Chen Kan has to trust them a little.
Not long after, Chen Kan saw a thick smoke coming out not far away.
It was the watermill filled with fire oil that had already started the firefighting.
Shi Wen also brought people over.
He arched his hand towards Chen Kan and said: "My lord, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, there are a total of twenty-seven chasing soldiers, and their legs and feet have been discounted by their subordinates. β
"Very well, now, fence this door for me."
Seeing that all the people except for the control of the waterwheel had arrived, Chen Kanhao was angry, and a prince's house said that it would be surrounded.
"Understood."
As the fire grew bigger and bigger, the guards in the Jin King's Mansion became more and more anxious.
"Lord Wang, let's go, the fire is too big, and the other party's water truck is full of fire oil, and there is no way to save it."
Zhu Jixi's guards looked anxious.
But Zhu Jixi seemed to be stunned, looked at the tongue of fire not far away with angry eyes, and scolded angrily: "Damn, who dared to set fire to the king's house." β
Looking at the fire that was firmly controlled outside the main house, how could Zhu Jixi not understand that this was a deliberate revenge at all.
But he has always been kind to people since he entered Beijing, and he has never offended anyone.
Who is so vicious?
"Could it be him?"
Suddenly, a young figure flashed in Zhu Jixi's mind.
"Chen Kan, this king and you, never die!"
A beautiful shadow said in a little panic: "Cousin, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, let's leave first and then make plans." β
"Let's go!"
Zhu Jixi took a deep look at the fire that was getting closer and closer, and walked towards the back door with a hateful flick of his sleeves.
At this moment, the fire in his heart burned far greater than the fire behind him.
"Squeak~"
A tooth-aching creak sounded, and then, the wooden door that was surrounded by the captains in brocade clothes was wide open.
A large crowd poured out from behind the door in an instant.
Zhu Jixi bore the brunt of the attack, followed by Chen Kan's ex-fiancΓ©e Fu Yu.
As soon as Zhu Jixi went out, he was stunned for a moment when he saw so many people gathered in front of the door.
But soon, he saw a smiling and disgusting face in the crowd.
Zhu Jixi's eyes turned red instantly.
"Chen Kan, it's really you, I want you to die!"
Chen Kan pretended to bow his hand at him and said, "Oh, yes, it's too late for the lower officials to put out the fire, and I ask the prince to forgive me." β
"Chen Kan, good, good, good, come on, capture this man to this king."
Zhu Jixi laughed angrily and said three good words in a row.
"Zheng~"
He was greeted by the sound of a neat drawing of a sword.
Chen Kan's subordinates drew their knives, and Zhu Jixi's personal guards also drew their knives.
But Zhu Jixi's personal guards were not carried away by the anger, and no one stupidly rushed up to give Chen Kan a head.
Instead, he instantly protected Zhu Jixi in the middle.
"Lord Wang, the lower officials see that you can't see the situation clearly, there are seventy or eighty people on the lower officials' side, and there are twenty or thirty people behind you, the lower officials want to ask the prince, how do you want to capture the lower officials?"
Chen Kan didn't pretend anymore, looked at Zhu Jixi with a cold face and said: "It's the so-called coming without being rude, a little gift is not a tribute, I hope the prince can like it." β
Zhu Jixi looked at Chen Kan, who was protected by the crowd pressed by the black, and only hated why he left the three army guards outside the city at that time.
He can't do this, he hates it.
Fu Yu on the side also heard a hint of something wrong from the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Chen Kan, you put the fire, right?" β
"Why, Chen Kan, why are you doing this?"
"If it's because I divorced and you have a grudge......"
"Silly bitch, shut up!"
Fu Yu's words were rudely interrupted by Chen Kan, but Chen Kan didn't look at her more, just stared at Zhu Jixi coldly.
Zhu Jixi was a little hairy by Chen Kan's eyes, but then a wave of shame and anger appeared in his heart.
The dignity of the prince was threatened by a waste.
But he really didn't dare to move.
Zhu Jixi's personal guards tightly protected Zhu Jixi behind him, and said inwardly: "Chen Kan, do you know what the crime of offending the prince is, aren't you afraid of the imperial history to participate in you?" β
Hearing this, Chen Kan picked his nose and popped a booger at the guard, looking completely indifferent.
"Very good, Chen Kan, this time this king is a chess mistake, let this king go over, today's matter, this king can not be blamed in the past."
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhu Jixi also calmed down from his initial anger.
But as soon as he said this, Fu Yu on the side suddenly showed an incredible look on his face.
What did she hear?
Their cousin, the cousin prince, actually succumbed to a waste who had been humiliated by them only a few days ago?
Zhu Jixi's personal guards were also instantly filled with resentment.
The dignified Jin Palace, when did you suffer such humiliation?
Chen Kan was stunned and said, "Lord Wang, what are you talking about, the lower officials are here to put out the fire." β
Zhu Jixi gritted his teeth and said, "Chen Kan, you don't have to make an inch. β
"The prince wants to leave, of course he can, but Xia Guan brought so many people to fight the fire, and he worked tirelessly to go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and it took a lot of effort to borrow so many waterwheels. There is no merit and hard work, is it possible that the prince plans to let my brothers run away in vain? β
Robbery, naked robbery.
