Xing Hao and Ben didn't take the people who followed them seriously, and replied indifferently: "If you don't say it, I forgot about him." Don't pay special attention to him, let him follow if he wants to. Let's go to the errands first, and if he still follows when we come back, we will lead him to a secluded place, and then we will talk about what we have to say. Let's go out generously now, and we don't do anything unsightly, or what we are afraid of. ”

"I'm not afraid of him, I'm just worried that he is inextricably linked to yesterday's events, and if he really fights in the downtown area, I don't want to alarm the government. That would really ruin our big deal, so I want to solve this trouble first and go to the Xiangrui Inn. Zuo Tianming said.

Xing Hao thought for a moment: "It's okay, don't let such a small person mess with us, then let's go, first go and deal with this person who has been blown by the cold wind outside all night, and see what kind of way he comes from." ”

The three of them walked out of the mound side by side. After looking around, they didn't find anyone who was following them yesterday. Xing Hao shouted at the opposite mountain forest: "Friend, yesterday you followed us all the way, and suffered a night of wind and cold here, why don't you come out now and settle the grievances between us, and you will save yourself from continuing to suffer." I think there must be some kind of misunderstanding between us, as the saying goes, it is better to settle than to settle the dispute, many friends have many roads, many enemies have many walls, what do we have to confront face to face. ”

Xing Hao's voice echoed in the valley for a long time, only the frightened birds and the fleeing roe deer and wild deer, but no one was seen coming out. Xing Hao shouted a few more times but no one answered, and said to Zuo Tianming and Guihai Feizhou: "The night wind last night was too cold, it is estimated that this guy can't withstand the washing of the night wind and has already left." ”

"Almost, this shout is shouted, this shout is also shouted. He hasn't come out yet, so he must not be here anymore. Come on, let's go too, and take advantage of the good weather, let's go early and return early. After Zuo Tianming finished speaking, he led the two of them and walked towards the Xiangrui Inn.

Three great guys, these few miles are not a problem for them, and it didn't take long to get there. When he arrived at the Xiangrui Inn, Xing Hao was remorseful and cried and said: "I'm afraid that the people around me will be implicated, and I haven't been able to save them from being careful." It's also that I'm confused, how can I agree to your reckless hair. The three of them looked around, and a large number of houses were implicated in yesterday's fire. The man sat on the ground and looked at the ruins in front of him with his eyes blank, the woman knelt down and wept silently, some held a corpse and cried for the ground, the young and ignorant child cried out for his father and mother lying on the ground, and the white-haired man wailed for the black-haired man. The scene in front of him made people feel very tragic, Xing Hao looked at the scene in front of him with red eyes, and said to Zuo Tianming: "Take out the official sticker and ask the official in charge of this matter, how many houses have been damaged here, how many dead and injured, and how many children have become orphans in this fire." After you have counted these, let me know. When necessary, tell them the truth, and don't let them wronged others in order to solve the case. ”

Zuo Tianming hurriedly stopped Xing Hao and said to him: "I can do all the things you just said, only this last one, the time has not yet come, and I can't tell them the truth." Tomorrow is the day when Mr. Wen leaves the customs, if we don't see his old man in the first time, if something happens, the consequences will be more serious than everything in front of us. Which is more serious, big brother, you have to think clearly. It's not that I, Zuo Tianming, evade responsibility, a man stands up to the sky, and if he does something wrong, he must take responsibility and accept punishment, but the current form does not allow me to do this, don't let these worldly little things disrupt our plans. ”

"A trivial matter? Do you call this a trivial matter? Zuo Tianming, when did you become so irresponsible. If these are trivial matters, what is a big deal in your eyes?" Xing Hao shouted at Zuo Tianming with angry eyes.

"What are you shouting at me, aren't I out of consideration for the overall situation, what if I follow your heart and delay the big thing? Are you responsible and say that I am responsible?" Zuo Tianming was also extremely angry and shouted at Xing Hao.

The Guihai Feizhou on the side stood between the two of them and tried to stop the two of them from arguing: "The two of you are angry, they are all their own brothers, don't make such an unpleasant fuss, don't you just have something to say." Now that you are all angry, first calm down, think about what the other party said, and consider it from the position of the other party, won't this knot naturally open, why bother to fight here, it is easy to hurt the feelings between brothers. Although there are only two people in the mound, Master and I, I don't always have contact with others, and every time I go out, I have to deal with all kinds of people, and I still understand a little bit. ”

Guihai Feizhou pulled Xing Hao aside and said to Zuo Tianming: "Brother Zuo, you go and count the situation first, I'm chatting with Brother Xing." ”

"Okay, you enlighten him well, this person is dead-headed, and his brain won't turn. Zuo Tianming took out his waist card and official sticker, and walked to the scene angrily.

"What Brother Zuo said is not unreasonable, at the moment, it seems that stabilizing the order and comfort of the entire Kanto Province is the most important thing, and these things can be compensated for later. Although water and fire are ruthless, this is also fate, and the person who is killed by fire can't be saved even if he wants to. Just because the evil results of the previous life are fulfilled in this life, the cycle of good and evil is unpleasant, this is a common disease of the world, and you don't have to feel so guilty, just use your hand to punish these people. Guihai Feizhou and Xing Hao talked a lot, but Xing Hao didn't say a word to him, just stunned. After a while, Zuo Tianming returned to them with a few pieces of paper, and regardless of whether he was buried on the ground or not, he sat down and said: "I asked the official in charge of this matter for details, and this fire burned a total of fifty-seven large and small houses, including Xiangrui Inn. A total of 96 people died in the fire, and a total of 175 people were burned to serious and minor injuries. After the counting, 134 orphans were orphaned by the fire, 85 were infants between the ages of 7, 49 were between the ages of 8 and 13, and as many as 113 were left alone by the fire. ”

Xing Hao stood up, knelt down at the scene of the fire, tears rolled down, knocked his head three times, choked and said: "I, Xing Hao, made such a painful decision due to a moment of negligence, it is really my fault. If the dead soul wants to seek revenge, even if he comes to me, I will not be ambiguous. When I finish dealing with the important matter at hand, I will come back as soon as possible to compensate for this matter, and do my best to do the aftermath well. If my words don't count, let me be thundered to the top and burned to death. Because of the distance, they couldn't hear what Xing Hao said, so he raised his head and said to Zuo Tianming: "These orphans who have been displaced and their families are all sent by Changbai Mountain Pear Flower to let them continue to live there." Those with acceptable qualifications are allowed to choose and train their own brothers, and those with poor qualifications are allowed to learn some skills in farming, trading and trading, so that they can have a means of making a living in the future. Moreover, there is a school at the foot of the mountain, where smart and nimble minds can study and learn, and he will have the opportunity to gain a reputation one day. There is only so much we can do for the time being, you go and tell the officials that they must send someone to send these children to the Pear Flower Pie, just say that it is the order of Shi Yin Xuesong and Xiao Lie, the commander of the Zhenliao Duwei. ”

Zuo Tianming found the official again according to what Xing Hao said, and after explaining the situation and content to him in detail, the official thanked him for his kindness: "Great, the commander Lord Shi can make such a decision, which really solves a big problem in my Yan City." Just now, a few of us were discussing how to deal with these orphans, and you told us the news, and the kindness of the adults is grateful. The officials immediately assigned a team of men and horses to take these orphans to Changbai Mountain.

After Zuo Tianming left, Xing Hao released the contact butterfly and sent the news that these children were about to reach the pear flower pie. When Zuo Tianming returned to him for the second time, he said to him: "Tianming, you immediately return to Duwei Mansion with the Earth Spirit Bead, pay some silver taels from the account room, and distribute them to these people." After I go back, explain the situation here in detail to Senior Brother and Brother Xiao, and see if they have a better solution, this matter must not be delayed for so long to deal with, what is the difference between that and a corrupt official. ”

Zuo Tianming hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't go to the Duwei Mansion first, tomorrow is the day of Mr. Wen's departure, let's still send our hearts to him, and it's not too late to go back." And I accidentally told the cause of this incident just now, and it is estimated that the county magistrate will ask the two of us tomorrow. ”

Xing Hao looked at Zuo Tianming, his expression was slightly hesitant and surprised, and there was some anger, in short, Xing Hao's face now looked very complicated. looked at Zuo Tianming's heart and shook it in front of Xing Hao's eyes with his hand: "Brother Xing, what are you looking at? Is there blood sticking to my face or what's wrong, you show me Mao is stunned, you can say anything you want." ”

Xing Hao stood up and said to him in a cold tone: "Why do I think, your behavior today is strange, are you hiding something from me?"

Zuo Tianming smiled aggrievedly and said: "What can I hide from you, these two days have been inseparable, don't you know everything, I have nothing to hide from everything." ”

"No, you must have something to hide from me, judging from your demeanor, it looks different, and you are like two people in your usual life. Tell me, what the hell have you done behind my back? But don't let me find out for myself, in that case, our brother's relationship for so long will be ruined. ”

Zuo Tianming's nose and sideburns were sweating, and he was immediately extremely nervous, so he leaned into Xing Hao's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Actually, before leaving, Senior Brother Yin and Brother Xiao sent me a secret mission, and the time is not yet ripe, so I can't tell you." When I solve it, I'll tell you as soon as possible, and you won't force me. ”

Xing Hao pushed Zuo Tianming away, and before he could speak, he saw a black shadow quickly jump up to them and punch Zuo Tianming. Zuo Tianming's hand quickly dodged a move, and Xing Hao jumped back, stabilizing his body and looking at the comer. It's okay not to look at it, but when I saw it, I was shocked, and said to the visitor: "You... What's going on?"
