Chapter 278: The Fire of the Red Marquis Mansion

The new clothes made were very popular among the people of the Honghou Mansion, and some maidservants also sewed clothes.

Usually they work in Honghe Mansion, wearing cloth clothes that are convenient for labor.

They still changed the style of their clothes and saw the clothes Zheng Ying was wearing.

They feel that they can also make it according to the style, and it is also convenient for daily work.

With the consent of Zheng Ying and Liu Zhang, they asked Gu Yaoyun to make a set of strong and durable fabrics first.

Zheng told them that the clothes she was wearing were comfortable and that she could move freely.

Letting the slaves and maids of the Honghou Mansion wear such clothes is also conducive to their work in the Honghou Mansion.

When you go out, you can only wear traditional clothes, so as not to be ridiculed for the new style of clothes you wear.

People outside may think that this is a hufu, and people in this era are still a little resistant to fancy clothes.

Therefore, such clothes can only be worn in the Honghou Mansion, and they will not laugh at each other.

At half past eleven o'clock on the night of the first month, Honghou, the cold wind was howling, and Liu Zhang suddenly woke up.

What he is most worried about these days is that when the wind blows, there will be a fire in the Honghou Mansion.

Those with whom he had a grudge would take the opportunity to set fires, starting in the evening.

There was a strong wind around the Honghou Mansion, and there was no rain or snow in the past two days.

The weather was dry and cold, and most of the buildings in the Honghou Mansion were made of wood.

In the event of a large fire, coupled with the support of high winds.

The Honghou Mansion may turn into a sea of fire, and the wind is abundant and strong these days.

Liu Zhang asked the guards of the Honghou Mansion who patrolled at night to pay more attention, in case of a fire.

To extinguish the fire in the shortest possible time, Liu Zhang placed fire extinguishers near each building.

To minimize the loss as much as possible, he was worried that Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and other families who had enemies with him would set fire to it at night.

It is best to let everyone in the Honghou Mansion be buried in the fire, so that you can take revenge and relieve your hatred.

I don't know who set the fire, it's really a double win for them.

Liu Zhang woke up in the second half of the night, always feeling that something bad had happened today.

In his dream, he dreamed that there was a fire in the Honghou Mansion, and everyone was busy putting out the fire.

But in the end, everyone was burned to ashes, and he was awakened by this nightmare.

Liu Zhang got out of bed and put on his coat, maybe the dream would come true.

Anyway, I can't sleep for a while, so let's go out and have a look.

As soon as Liu Zhang came to the house, he saw Qiwu running towards the outside of the house where he was staying.

"Alang, there's a fire near the warehouse. The fire spread rapidly, and the servant came to report it. ”

When she heard someone shouting about the fire, she went to see the situation first.

Then come back and report to Liu Zhangyu so as not to pass on the wrong information.

Liu Zhang followed Qiwu to see, and what he was worried about still happened.

Recently, Honghou Mansion has stepped up patrols and strengthened fire prevention.

Someone must have set the fire, and someone who had a grudge against him.

Liu Zhang carefully analyzed it, this fire will not be ignited for no reason.

It must be that his enemies have been observing the weather conditions in the Red Marquis Kingdom, waiting for the best time to set fires.

Today is a good opportunity, the wind is strong and cold today.

The fire spread rapidly, and more than 1,000 guards and slaves from the Honghou Mansion participated in extinguishing the fire.

Liu Zhang's mother and sister were also woken up, and they left the house one after another.

Looking at the fire near the warehouse, it has not burned to the warehouse for the time being.

The guards and slaves of the Honghou Mansion must first ensure the safety of the warehouse, and the people in the house leave as soon as possible.

Liu Zhang commanded everyone to extinguish the fire, and they held fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire.

Fire extinguishers are much stronger than water extinguishers, and spreading fires are quickly brought under control.

Liu Zhang watched everyone come out of the house, and he was much more relieved.

When the fire broke out, Liu Zhang first went to the house where his mother and sister were.

Xu Jian lived in the same room as Liu Zhang, and they got up together.

The guards of the Honghou Mansion told Liu Zhang and his relatives not to go near the fire, so as not to be blown by the wind and burn the sparks.

The fire started too suddenly, and everyone has been paying attention to fire prevention recently.

One of the guards smelled a smell of burnt oil, and he reported it like Liu Zhang.

"Your Excellency, this time I can be sure that someone set the fire, and I smell the burning of the fierce fire oil."

Liu Zhang heard the guards say this, which shows that the person who set the fire has some means.

It was able to ignite a fire near the warehouse without anyone noticing.

Recently, the patrol of Honghou Mansion has not been weak, but it still makes people take advantage of loopholes.

Two simulated robots brought in a man who was out of breath.

The simulated robot put the corpse on the ground, and Liu Zhang looked at the corpse on the ground.

This is the corpse of a middle-aged man, and his appearance is very ordinary.

The simulator robot has checked it, and the person has been poisoned to death.

He didn't have any external injuries on his body, which means that he was after setting the fire.

committed suicide by taking poison, but he didn't want Liu Zhang to interrogate him.

"I know this person, it is the Doudiao who came to Honghou Mansion to deliver meat and vegetables in the past two days. He died in the Honghou Mansion, which means that this fire is related to him. ”

A servant girl looked at the corpse lying on the ground, and most of the people in the Honghou Mansion knew him.

He was a very honest man, and his body appeared in the Honghou Mansion.

Then he was the most suspicious of arson, and the guards of the Honghou Mansion stepped forward to check it.

They were not afraid of corpses at all, and these guards were selected from the Han army in Guanzhong.

They have also killed murderous bandits, and they have seen many corpses.

"He had the smell of fierce fire oil on his body, and the smell was very light. That means that he set a fire and can investigate the situation in his house. ”

He had just smelled the smell of fire oil in the place where it had been burned, and his sense of smell was very sharp.

Liu Zhang knew him, this guard was called Wen Gong, and he was eighteen years old this year.

Although the man is not tall, his eyesight and sense of smell are keen.

There are all sorts of talent among these guards, and this needs to be carefully discovered.

"After the fire is extinguished, I will go to the Dou Eagle House tomorrow to investigate. Ask his family, who did Doudiao come into contact with? ”

Liu Zhang suspected that this matter was related to Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, had a lot of hatred for him.

Doudiao's family may have encountered an accident, or the subordinates of Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, have given Doudiao a lot of benefits.

Liu Zhang analyzed in his heart that it was impossible for Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, to let his subordinates do this matter too directly.

Liu Che sent people to monitor his every move, but he didn't want him to cause a big disaster.

Liu Che is still very protective of him, if Honghou and Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, have a lot of trouble.

At that time, it will be difficult to protect Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, and the guards of the Honghou Mansion know that this fire is man-made.

Wang Kuang would report the matter to the imperial court and let the imperial court send someone to investigate.

Everyone was busy for a long time before the fire was extinguished, and this time the fire extinguishing made everyone tired enough.

The guards of the Red Marquis Mansion felt that they had not done their duty, and they patrolled every night in the best mental state.

But it still made people take advantage of the loopholes, and several buildings were burned down.

Fortunately, the warehouse of Honghou Mansion is intact, if all the belongings in the warehouse are burned.

For the Honghou Mansion, the loss is great, and everyone thinks that Dou Diao is just a pawn of the instigator behind the scenes.

When the use value of the fighting eagle ran out, he was allowed to commit suicide by taking poison.

This would keep his family safe, and the cold wind was still blowing.

Liu Zhang asked the guards of the Honghou Mansion to inspect the burned building to make sure there was not the slightest spark.

This time it was not water that was used to extinguish the fire, and the effect of water extinguishing the fire was not very good.

Liu Zhang was so angry in his heart, he highly suspected that Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, instructed someone to set fire.

wanted to burn everyone in the Honghou Mansion to death, but unfortunately he had no conclusive evidence.

If it is directly said that Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, sent someone to do it, he will be falsely accused by the other party.

The simulation robot that monitored Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, did not send a message, and Liu Zhang contacted the simulation robot over there.

The simulation robot over there did not malfunction, which means that Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, is more cautious.

He knew that someone was watching, and he used some means to avoid it.

It is also possible that his subordinates acted without authorization, and Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, did not know.

He recruited a lot of doormen, most of whom were outlaws.

Only when he was protected by Liu Jian, the king of Jiangdu, Liu Zhang counted the account on his head.

"Your Excellency, we checked it and found nothing."

The guards of the Honghou Mansion reported to Liu Zhangyu that it was determined that it was arson.

These guards will conduct a thorough review to prevent this from happening again.

From the first half of the night until now, they have been seriously patrolling.

Liu Zhang also felt very strange that this person named Dou Diao was able to avoid the guards of the Red Marquis Mansion.

It can also avoid the simulated robots that are guarding in the shadows, and successfully set the buildings near the warehouse on fire.

Liu Zhang thinks that Doudiao must have used some means to make it impossible for the guards and simulation robots to find it.

Maybe he'll get 22nd century high-tech gadgets, like things like stealth.

It can block the robot's detection, and it can also avoid the sight of some people.

Liu Zhang felt that there was this possibility, and all this was his speculation.

Only if you find that thing, there must be restrictions on the use of such a high-tech product.

Something like this must be nearby, and it may be that the stealth has failed.

Dou Diao knew that he couldn't get out of the way, so he committed suicide by taking poison.
