"Why is Ma Hongyue spying on you?" Chitose groaned, "Is it because of Duan Fang?"

Duan Fang is indeed close to Yan Saburo, why does Ma Hongyue bother with this? The point is, does Duan Fang know it?

Yan Saburo spread his hands, he didn't know.

The next morning, a fire broke out in the annex building of the Chamber of Commerce.

The fire was set by six or seven family members of the deceased. The main building of the Chamber of Commerce was tightly guarded, and they fell in love with the auxiliary building to vent their anger, and after being caught, they cursed themselves endlessly.

Yan Saburo saw black smoke rushing into the sky from afar, and when he arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, he saw that there was a lot of ants and insects running in the annex building, and people who came and went to carry water to extinguish the fire.

The annex building is old, the wood is old and brittle, and there are many hidden objects, which can easily catch fire. The arsonist also carefully prepared oil to be sprinkled everywhere, and the fire was particularly pleasant.

As soon as Yan Saburo entered the door, Steward Xu ran to the side with a stack of booklets and went out of the door, while instructing him: "Go and move it, all the books in the second room must be rescued, otherwise last year's and this year's accounts will be all messed up." ”

The first floor burned the most, and it happened that most of the materials and books of the Chamber of Commerce were placed on the first floor.

Yan Saburo immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to move things.

The ground was full of debris, and Steward Xu ran in a hurry, and the soles of his feet tripped over something, and he fell to the ground in an instant, and the notebook in his hand fell everywhere.

There is water all over the ground.,If the book is soaked in water.,It's the same waste.。

Seeing this, Yan Saburo squatted on the ground and went to help him pick it up first.

Two of the books were already stained with water and dust, and he picked them up and shook them, and the album opened with a bang, and it turned out to be a sales record.

Yan Saburo inadvertently glanced at it, and saw that there was a list of income and expenditure on it, and the object was "Qingjin Tiger Hunting".

The purchase price is 13,000 taels, but the selling price is very low, only 500 taels.

What's going on, has the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce done good deeds? But there is a blank on the side of this income and expenditure, and there is no special remark.

His gaze only stayed on the notebook for two more breaths, and Steward Xu found out, snatched the notebook with his hand and reprimanded: "These account books, you can't look at them randomly, don't go move things quickly!"

At this time, someone patted Yan Saburo on the shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded: "I'm here to help." ”

The end side is coming.

At this time, the fire in the annex building had basically been controlled, and Yan Saburo saw that half of Duan Fang's face was black, and he didn't know what had been rubbed by something, which made him smile more and more white.

Steward Xu said again and again: "No, no, these trivial things don't need to be worked on to you!" There are so many connoisseurs in the main building who are hanging by the window to look at the excitement here, how can anyone be as enthusiastic as Duan Fang and come over to help?

Duan Fang smiled and didn't say much, but followed Yan Saburo to move things in room B on the first floor.

Before noon, the fire risk was eliminated, and the materials in the annex building were basically rescued. When the big proprietor heard the news, he also rushed over, hugged Duan Fang and praised it, and Yan Saburo knew that thanks to this Yun Xiufeng's master, the fire would never have been extinguished so quickly, and he would not stop until he burned half of the auxiliary building.

Yang Hengxi's eyebrows fluttered, as if it was he who made the magic power extinguish the fire, but he smiled indifferently, looking proud and not surprised.

As one of the onlookers, Yan Saburo still had a small piece of scorched wood on his head at this time, and his trouser legs and shoes were blackened, and he was embarrassed. The white cat lay on Yan Saburo's back, smelling the smell of smoke from the boy's body, and said coolly: "Look at the scenery of other people, look at the city of other people." Hey, you also helped, why didn't Yang Hengxi praise you?"

When Yan Saburo heard this, he raised his hand to wipe his face, and accidentally wiped the carbon black on his hand on his face.

Chitose avoided it in disgust.

Why is the owner of the wooden bell a little mud-legged? Alas!

But as soon as she turned around, she saw Ma Hongyue, the third owner, standing by the door and staring here, his eyes gloomy as if he could drip water.

Who is he looking at?

......

The Hengxi Chamber of Commerce threw the families of several of the deceased who set the fire to the office. As expected, these people set fire to the fire because of "excessive sorrow", and the government department sympathized with their state of mind, and only reprimanded them a few words, and then locked them up for three or four days before letting them go.

After this incident, there were all men with big shoulders and round waists standing at the door of the Hengxi Chamber of Commerce to prevent the riot from rising again.

However, I don't know what the shopkeeper and others did, and the number of families of the deceased who came to cry the next day has been reduced by more than half. Chitose expected that the pension was paid early, because the accounting gentlemen were so busy today that they were about to explode on the spot.

After all, people die like lights going out, no matter how much their families regret and are unwilling to grieve, life still has to go on. The kind of small families whose husbands have died and only orphans and widows are usually not coming, and often groups of relatives, especially those who are prosperous, rely on the support of their families, and still come to cry today.

The cry was like a spell, which made people uneasy, and the chamber of commerce was also low pressure all day, and everyone was full of sadness.

In the evening of this day, Yan Saburo went home from work, and before he opened the courtyard door, the white cat jumped on his shoulder, and his long hair exploded:

"Someone has come in!" Chitose said sharply, "The formation I laid out has been disturbed. ”

The resentful wood sword immediately slid from Yan Saburo's sleeve into his hand.

"There was no one in the house anymore. The cat's tail struck him on the back, like a little whip. Then she jumped to the ground and trotted around.

Yan Saburo pushed open each room and examined it carefully.

Everything was in place, there was no sign of anyone coming, and there was not even a smell left in the air.

But he knew that Chitose's feelings could not be wrong. The formation she laid out was not to prevent people from entering, after all, Yan Saburo was only ten years old, and he was a cultivator of the wild road, if he could lay out a powerful formation, it would be too unreasonable, and it would be even more troublesome to cause a lawsuit. She set up a formation that only wanted to spy on the intruders.

When the sun went down and Chitose showed his body, he took out a small wooden toad from the eaves of the main house. This is the most common eaves corner beast, used to fix the eaves corner of the front end of the tile, whether it is a commoner or a wealthy family, it is very common in the home, but in the style, material, quantity and arrangement of the difference.

However, this one in Chitose's hand is not common - it was made by her own hands and used to replace the original eaves beast.

She asked Yan Saburo to bring a basin of water, and then patted it lightly on the head of the wooden toad, and a ray of red light actually appeared in the eyes of the wooden toad, shining on the water.

The surface of the water, wrinkled by the dawn wind, immediately stood still and became as smooth as a mirror.

Then, an image appeared on this mirror.

The toad's head happened to be facing the courtyard gate, so its small eyes "saw" the person who intruded, and then played it back to Tsubame Saburo and Chitose to look at together.

"Duanfang?"
