The fourth episode of the legend of the cat ghost (27) - father and son go into battle

☆☆☆

Chris cleared his throat and said, "Since the official family sent me to supervise the firefighting, I naturally can't be absent!"

Hearing Lan Yuanxiao say this, Jian Yan shrugged his shoulders at Huangfu Wuya, meaning I didn't talk nonsense!

Huangfu Wuya couldn't say anything, so he thought about letting this little blue master follow Doctor Yan and Fat Plant, as long as he watched from a distance and didn't make trouble. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before the other party could arrange himself, Chris asked straight to the point: "What kind of oil workshop is this? Ordinary cooking oil will never cause such a big fire!"

The two were slightly surprised when they heard this, and quickly looked at each other.

"This is indeed not ordinary oil!" Jian Yan sniffed his nose and said, "You can smell it from this smell alone, this is 'Fierce Fire Oil'!"

"Fierce Oil?" asked Chris.

I really don't understand anything! Jian Yan said impatiently: "I don't have time to explain so much to you!"

Huangfu Wuya said a few more words: "On the battlefield, attacking and defending cities, fire and water battles may use 'fierce fire oil'!"

I think that when Song Taizu attacked Jinling, Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, used the strategy of "fire attack" to repel the Song army. The Southern Tang army loaded the fierce fire oil into the urn, and then placed the urn on top of the floating flow gear, covered it with wooden hay, and prepared to set fire to the Great Song Dynasty ships downstream. Fortunately, Wang Guangyuan's great-grandfather Wang Ming amassed troops in Dushukou, sent a fine work to find out the news, and sent his son to gallop back to Kaifeng on a fast horse, and gave Ming Taizu. Taizu issued a secret order and ordered Wang Ming to erect a long log like a sail between Zhoupu and Pu, so that the Southern Tang Army thought it was a warship. When the Southern Tang Dynasty Divine Guards waited for Zhu Lingyun to send a big ship to fight, Wang Ming's small boat led it and brought it to the wooden fake ship, Zhu Lingyun ordered to release a floating raft loaded with fierce fire oil in an attempt to attack, but it was in the face of a strong north wind, and the Southern Tang warship burned itself, and the Southern Tang warship collapsed without a fight. Wang Mingsheng captured Zhu Lingyun and captured tens of thousands, and Jinling went to ruin.

Huangfu Wuyi said: "This fierce fire oil is a controlled thing, and only the two weapons workshops in the north and south of the imperial court can produce it. This is obviously a registered grain and oil workshop, and there is actually a hidden amount of fierce fire oil! There must be a hidden secret in this fire, and when the fire is extinguished, we need to pay a good visit and investigate!"

Jian Yan stroked his chin, smiled lowly, and said, "You extinguish your fire, I'll investigate my case!" When I left the Jiaomen camp, I had already sent someone to Kaifeng Mansion, and at this time, the catcher sent by Baitang must have arrived near the fire. If there's anything suspicious, they'll look for it first. ”

Huangfu Wuya nodded, and said in his heart: Don't look at the casual appearance of Jian Shi on weekdays, when it comes to investigating cases, he is as careful as silk than anyone else!

Seeing that the two of them were talking to themselves and ignoring themselves, Chris turned to Xiong Daiying and asked, "What is fierce fire oil?"

Xiong Daiying said: "That fierce fire oil is recorded in the "Wujing General Essentials" written by Lord Zeng, I remember that it is also called 'stone grease water', when we dragged the horse out of the ditch just now, the black water flowing through the ditch is this thing!"

"Black water?" Chris suddenly remembered, and looked around, and there was a puddle of black mud not far away, it was ignited by fire, the flames swayed in the wind, and the nearby was burned into a scorched earth.

The two trotted two steps, and when they arrived, Xiong Daiying pointed to the black and shiny thing on the ground and said, "That's it!"

Hey, that's not what I'm thinking, is it? Chris suddenly remembered that he was a fully equipped firefighter, and removed the broken fire axe from the belt he wore around his waist. She dipped the tip of her axe in some black water.

A pungent smell rushes into the nostrils. Chris actually smelled something bad just now, but now she can confirm that it's oil!!

She sniffed it closely, and said in her heart: It seems that it is still mixed with the smell of gunpowder! Listening to the meaning of Jian Shi and Dai Ying, the people of the Song Dynasty are already fighting with "oil (fierce fire oil)"?

In the distance, another rumbling sound was heard, and the blackened sandalwood was blown out, and the fire became more violent, and the flames that jumped on the trees burned all the infusions, and the ashes of the trees scattered in all directions.

There are workshops within a radius of several miles outside the stone village, among which there are many tea, oil, wine and vinegar workshops, sand ware workshops, pottery workshops, and textile tie-dye workshops...... The courtyard was full of flammable things, and they were all wooden buildings, which caught fire and burned faster. But with the addition of oil, that's a different story. There are many chemicals in oil, and when the ignition source reaches the explosion limit, the explosion is extremely powerful, and the resulting heat and shock wave are even more harmful.

Chris also knew that oil had "heat-wave properties" and would be the greatest threat to firefighters by boiling and splashing if it hit water more terrifyingly. She remembers that the oil was very particular about extinguishing the oil, using dry powder for open flames and foam for ground fires...... After thinking about it, she hurriedly returned to the front of the team to find the sword shop and discuss with him about extinguishing the fire.

"Hey, how do you put out this fierce oil? Do you know ......?"

"Go aside!" Jian Xi didn't want to deal with her at this time. He didn't have time to help this "straw bale" explain this and that...... The most important problem at the moment is that they can't be inspected, so what to talk about extinguishing fires!

"You!" Chris was angry that he didn't listen to himself, arousing a belly of anger, and was about to have a seizure, but he heard a commotion from the direction of Stone Village, and there was a team of hundreds of people walking towards the fire. The men at the front of the line were of different looks and ages, but all of them were strong and strong.

"Report!" the man who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties.

He stepped forward and gave a shout to one of the adjutants. It turned out that he was the head of the Stone Village Regiment, and these hundreds of people not only included the militia of Stone Village, but also hurriedly gathered from the surrounding villages. The village chief is still there, and the villagers are not idle, they have already driven up the ox cart and brought a large amount of sand mixed with cow dung to this side!

The thin man standing behind Huangfu Wuya and Jian Yan was a young man in his eighteenth to early twenties. He stepped out and said, "The 'mortar' we have prepared is just not enough! You can mix it with cow dung sent by the villagers!"

"Mortar, cow dung?" Chris thought about, it turned out that they also knew that extinguishing oil fires required materials that could be flame retardant, and there were no dry powders and foams in ancient times, so it seemed that these things were used, but the truth was the same!

Jian Yan suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Chris, and introduced with a wave of his big hand: "This is Cai Tong, the leader of the 'Five Fans'! The deputy team next to him, his son Cai Xiaotong!" He said with a disapproving look, "I forgot to formally introduce your father and son, this is called Lan Yuanxiao!"

Cai Tong, Cai Xiaotong! She thought to herself: This father and son look a lot of age differences, could it be that Cai Xiaotong still has brothers, called Cai Datong and Cai Zhongtong?

Cai Tong looked like he was in his fifties, his head was very wrinkled, and his eyebrows, beard and sideburns were more than half white. But he is not short in height and has broad shoulders, so you can see a bit of the "human-looking" demeanor of his youth. He didn't speak, just smiled at Chris, and the smile was gentle and polite.

Cai Xiaotong was the one who had just proposed to mix cow dung with mortar. Chris looked carefully, Cai Tong was tall and long, but Cai Xiaotong was not tall and thin, no wonder the puppy said that he was similar to Dai Ying. His appearance is also more delicate than his father, if it is similar, it is probably a pair of Danfeng eyes that are hung obliquely, and the two are exactly the same.

However, Chris noticed that there was a black mark on the left side of their face, which at first glance looked like a scar, but on closer inspection, it was a row of small letters. Because the words were too small to read, Chris was too embarrassed to come over and read them.

Seeing Chris staring at the tattoo on his face, Cai Xiaotong felt quite unhappy in his heart and glared at her warningly. When she didn't see her retracting her gaze and wanted to say something, she was interrupted by her father.

Cai Tong waved his hand and said, "What are you still doing, go and arrange things with them!"

This voice was full of energy, strong and loud, and it shook Chris's ears ringing, and he really couldn't underestimate this old man.

The father's life is like a mountain, and the military order is like a mountain. Cai Xiaotong turned around, called several other lieutenants, and pulled the leader of the militia to the side of the road and muttered about the matter.

At this time, the militia team finally rushed up dozens of people. As soon as he arrived, he fell to his knees and brushed a piece. They are the "owners" of this burning workshop. Of course, not all the workshop owners, mainly a few workshop owners who live in the nearby stone village, and a few other foremen who stayed behind.

They were all dying, crying and shouting, "Master, please put out the fire!"

One of the foremen shouted, "My house is a garment factory, and there are a few apprentices living in the backyard......!" ...... here"

Speaking of the back, his eyes were red and he choked up. The others sighed when they heard this, their workshop was basically the same as this one, and there were many small workers living in the backyard. Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, it would rain heavily, and there would be such a big fire. I am afraid that many people have been killed by the fire while they are still asleep.

Wuban naturally knows what they are facing, they have long been ready for it, and the problem is only owed to the "east wind"!

In fact, the imperial court also stipulates that if the "capital inspection" is too far away from the place of fire, and it cannot be rushed for a while, it must be invited to the nearest "inspection" or the commander of each compartment. However, the most troublesome thing is that this vicinity is under the management of the big camp in the west of the city, if you want to mobilize the latent fire army in the camp nine, ten, and eleven, you have to go to the Privy Council to ask for soldiers, and you have to return to Kaifeng first, so late to come and go back and forth is even more troublesome.

In desperation, Huangfu Wuya sent three fast horses, the first way back to Kaifeng to inspect the adult, the second road to the new city to ask the west of the city to inspect, the third road still to the west of the city camp to ask the hidden fire army.

However, no one has arrived on the three roads!

Huangfu Wuya faced the herald and said, "Send a fast horse to the Daliang Gate again to see if the inspector is delayed on the road!"

Those workshop owners knelt on the ground and pleaded in unison: "Please ask all the military masters to put out the fire first, and then invite which senior official later!"

The common people naturally don't understand the rules for the transfer of troops set by the grandfather, in fact, most of the people in Kaifeng are most annoyed by the fact that the submarine fire army does not fight the fire when it arrives at the fire scene. But since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and the people often dare not speak out, so they have to endure the resentment in their hearts. On the other hand, the government of the Song Dynasty did not have the modern government's idea of explaining to the people that it carried out its decrees and that everything was humane and transparent.

So the situation became a dead end. Today, however, someone is trying to break it.

Chris asked on the side: "Why don't you wait for the inspector?" Seeing that neither Huangfu Wuya nor Cai Tong had anyone to answer her words, she deliberately raised her voice and asked: "Don't wait for him, just start fighting the fire?"

When those workshop owners heard this, they nodded frequently, and secretly said that this little official said what we wanted!

Jian Shi scolded in his heart: Fool, if you don't wait for the inspection to arrive, in the future, all these generals and soldiers in the Jiaomen Battalion will be severely punished! I can't bear to go to fight the fire for a while, and I don't want to fight the fire again for the rest of my life! Which is more important?

After thorough and meticulous research, Chris certainly knew why she was waiting for the patrol to arrive, but by saying this, she was giving a message to the sword. In line with the principle that Lan Yuanxiao's identity can "do things" casually, she raised her chin, put on a swaggering appearance, and said: "I, the 'special envoy' of the official family who is in charge of firefighting, is it not as good as the presence of all the inspectors?

This can make Jian Yan cry and laugh, this is all serious, this idiot is still with the capital inspection who is more important and who has a higher status! He asked in a deep voice: "Do you know that if you move the forbidden army without permission, you will be beheaded?"

Chris said disapprovingly: "Since the official family asked me to supervise the 'Hidden Fire Army', it can be regarded as granting me the power to mobilize them!"

"It's also ......" Jian Yan said in his heart: You are so bold and stupid, you don't know how to die when the time comes!

As soon as those workshop owners heard this, they all knew that this young official was an official specially sent by the emperor, and hurriedly kowtowed to Chris, his head bumped on the ground, and shouted: "Master Qincha hopes that you will help the suffering, let the officials quickly put out the fire!"

Someone even crawled two steps on his knees, crawled to her feet and begged: "There are still a few workshops in the upwind that have not burned, if you rescue them as soon as possible, you can recover some losses, and we will be grateful after the fact!"

Chris hurriedly stepped back and said, "You don't need to be so polite, right?

Jian Shi looked at her and seemed to laugh as soon as he heard the words "there is a heavy thanks", and he couldn't help but get angry, and said in his heart: What a faceless and skinless greedy ghost, but I am preventing you from getting rich! He turned his head and waved his big hand and said: "Cai Tou! Listen, right? Lord Xiaolan said, he will put out the fire if he lets him put out the fire! If anything happens in the future, he will take care of it!"

Cai Tong also nodded slightly in agreement when he saw Huangfu Wuya, and he had a bottom in his heart, and he ordered loudly: "Little ones, listen to me!"

Chris was startled by Cai Tong's voice, and even his eardrums were buzzing. The old man didn't open his mouth, and when he opened his mouth, there was an earth-shattering sound that pierced the clouds and cracked the stones. In fact, the noise of the fire was very loud, and I think his amazingly loud voice was practiced like this!
