Chapter 46: Ruthless (Part 2)

When Jianmao Dao staggered towards the road, Zhu Hao had been waiting behind the abandoned chimney on the roof for a long time.

Seeing Jianmao Daozhi's complacent and unhurried look, Zhu Hao threw a lit branch into the yard, and the flames followed the tung oil on the ground and burned towards the warehouse.

Seeing the fire spreading, Zhu Hao felt suddenly cheerful for some reason.

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Jian Maoluo walked to the base of the wall, played with his clothes casually, and immediately started having fun under the wall.

At this moment, Zhu Hao threw a lit torch down from a high place. With a "bang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, startling Jianmao Dao. He paused in the middle of urinating, and his body violently

He shivered and quickly looked up to see what was going on.

Of course, Zhu Hao would not stay at a high place waiting to be caught. While throwing down the torch, he had already followed the roof to the side of the back wall, climbed down the mottled wall tiles, and quickly left the scene of the crime.

The fire broke out very quickly in the yard, but because the fire was not big for the time being, Jianmao Dao had no idea what was going on. He looked around and found that there was nothing wrong, so he peeed the remaining half of the urine and put out the torch.

.

At this moment, a maid in the distance who entered the house from the east cross courtyard suddenly stopped, pointed at the warehouse yard and shouted: "The water has leaked."

Jianmao Dao was startled. He quickly put his clothes in order and stepped back ten or so steps. Then he saw thick smoke rising from the courtyard wall in front of him... The wind was blowing from the north, and the road was on the south side of the warehouse. He was under the wall.

Where can I see the white smoke rising from the yard?

"Ah."

Jianmao Dao seemed to have thought of something, and nodded slightly, with a knowing smile on his face. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he noticed that people from the kitchen courtyard were swarming out, and the leader was Lu Song, who came to invite them to drink this time.

"It's flooded, put out the fire quickly!"

The fire prevention facilities in the palace are complete. There are two large water tanks filled with water in the east courtyard for emergencies.

Lu Song and others hurried over. Sharp-haired Tao rolled his eyes, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop Lu Song and others.

Lu Song glared at Jianmao Dao.

At this time, people had already seen the torches still smoking in the corner. Lu Song's heart "thumped" and he thought to himself, this guy just said it to have fun, could he just set fire to it?

Then he realized where the fire started, and felt a sense of regret in his heart.

Just when he was about to ask Jian Mao Hao what conspiracy he had against Zhu Hao, he ended up burning the warehouse where Zhu Hao lived right under his nose?

"Firefighting!"

Lu Song waved his hand and showed a firm attitude.

The people behind quickly looked for fire-fighting tools such as barrels, wooden basins, pumps, and hemp bags, but now most people were confused and didn't know what to do for a while.

Jian Maoluo sneered: "Lu Dianzhan, you have to listen to me on this matter today...you can't save this fire..."

Lu Song was not sure at first that the fire was caused by the sharp-haired tiger, but after hearing what the other party said, he no longer had any doubts in his heart and angrily shouted: "Are you crazy?"

"I'm not crazy...don't you think about it, why did everything happen to be on fire? Are you trying to stop the work from above?" Jianmao Dao said this, but he actually wanted to remind Lu Song that it was obvious that someone wanted to set fire to Zhu Hao.

Burning him to death solved a major safety hazard in the palace.

The fire has just started and no one is in good condition. If you run to save it, wouldn't you ruin the plan?

Even if you put out a fire, you still have to wait until the fire is almost done. It’s not too late to save people after they’ve been burned to death.

Lu Song was startled, with a look of hesitation on his brows.

He raised his head and looked in the direction of the yard. The door was closed. It seemed that someone had sealed the door deliberately, intending to block people inside and burn them to death. If Zhu Hao really died, he would not need to contact Zhu Hao again in the future. Such exposure risk

If it plummets, doesn't it mean that you have solved a big trouble for yourself with the help of others?

There was a thought in my mind, "That child would be better off alive than dead."

But then he thought of Zhu Hao's warning.

Zhu Hao once said that if something happened to him in the palace, someone would leak out that Lu Song was a spy of the Jin Yiwei. Wouldn't this be playing with fire and setting oneself on fire?

"What are you doing standing still? Put out the fire!"

Lu Song was furious and shouted at the two guards behind him and the craftsmen who were watching the fun.

The two guards from the Royal Palace's Ceremony Department naturally listened to him and hurried to get fire-fighting equipment.

But the craftsmen only looked at Li Shun who followed him, as if Li Shun was the only one who could make the decision at the scene.

Li Shun took his time and glanced at the yard where the smoke was rising. He shook his head without saying anything.

"What are you doing? Put out the fire quickly!"

Lu Song would never have imagined that these craftsmen would be so calm when they saw the warehouse on fire.

Just when Lu Song was extremely nervous and was about to call the people from the Royal Palace's Yiwei Department for help, he saw a tall figure walking slowly and slowly from the direction of the alley.

It is Zhu Hao.

Everyone's first reaction when they saw Zhu Hao...

Damn it, what the hell?

Jianmao Dao's body trembled, and he quickly turned around to look in the direction of the door, cursing in his mind, is the work above so unreliable? Didn't he check to see if this kid was inside before setting the fire?

What's the fuss about?

That……

Isn’t this fire in vain?

"It's... there's a fire, put out the fire quickly." Zhu Hao is a capable actor. At the moment, he is more nervous about the fire in front of him than anyone else, and he is eager to ask for help from everyone present.

Jian Maoluo was very smart and did not rush to put out the fire. Instead, he said in a threatening tone: "You boy, I want you to see the warehouse. Why is there a fire in it? Tell me, did you set this fire? Do you know what this is?

Guilt?"

Zhu Hao wanted to laugh, yes, I was the one who started this fire. You are absolutely right.

But he said: "I have said before that the tung oil barrel leaked and would catch fire if I was not careful. You don't believe it... I wasn't even in it, how could I have set the fire?"

"That's your responsibility too!"

The sharp-haired tiger is unwilling to give up.

Lu Song was so angry that he didn't have time to think deeply. He wished he could eat the sharp-haired tiger in front of him alive, so he called to everyone: "Put out the fire!"

I greeted him several times before, but only a few responded.

At this time, the craftsmen finally realized that the fire did not burn the victim, but would burn his tools and the palace's property. It was more important to put out the fire first.

"Old Li, just say something and don't allow them to put out the fire!"

Jian Maoluo attacked Li Shun, "If there is any loss to the palace, just let this kid pay... If there is an accident while putting out the fire, who will take the responsibility?"

Li Shun hesitated for a moment.

Although Li Shun is the leader of this group of craftsmen, Jian Mao Dao is Hou Chun's head horse. It is said that he is a person of the palace chief Shi Yuan Zonggao. What's more, what Jian Mao Dao said makes sense. Now that the fire has not burned Zhu Hao's head

, then we must make a fuss after the fact, and we cannot let this fire burn in vain.

"You...how could you do this? Start a fire and not save it? I...all my things are inside!"

Zhu Hao was so anxious that he almost cried.

But I was thinking in my heart, everyone, don’t be anxious. The fire is not big enough to destroy the traces I have arranged in advance, and the danger is not high enough. Thank you for your cooperation!

"Lu Dianzhan, please call someone to put out the fire!"

Zhu Hao turned his attention to Lu Song for help.

Lu Song's body trembled. He had been "obsessed" before, but now that he saw Zhu Hao's nervous eyes, he suddenly sobered up and his thoughts became extremely clear.

It was this guy who asked me to buy wine and treat the people from the east courtyard to drink. He said he wanted me to find out if there was any conspiracy against him. But in the blink of an eye, everything went wrong!?

Is it such a coincidence?

Could this matter have something to do with this kid?

If Lu Song was eager to put out the fire before, he thought Zhu Hao was in the yard and was afraid that Zhu Hao would be burned to death and his identity would be exposed.

Now he doesn't really support firefighting.

Fire prevention measures were taken when the palace was first built. Buildings are widely separated from each other. Especially since this warehouse contains a large amount of wood, prevention is the top priority. Fire escapes and firewalls are specially built to prevent the fire from getting bigger.

It will spread to other yards, leading to the tragedy of burning camps.

Anyway, I did not set the fire, I was just a bystander. If it is true as Jianmao Dao said, it will be beneficial to me to put the responsibility for the fire on Zhu Hao and drive this little guy out of the palace.

so.

Lu Song chose to ignore Zhu Hao's request for help.

But Zhu Hao no longer cares about this.

He didn't care whether these people knew how to put out the fire, he just had to get into the fire himself.

"My things, including my father's belongings, are all in there. I want to take them out..."

Zhu Hao performed a full performance. While everyone was still hesitating whether to put out the fire, he was already crying and shouting, desperately opening the door and rushing into the fire scene.

Lu Song did not expect that Zhu Hao would dare to rush into the fire. He stretched out his hand but only caught the corner of Zhu Hao's clothes and did not pull it.

When he went to chase him again, he was blocked by Jian Maoluo and Li Shun.

Li Shundao: "Lu Dianzhan, this is our east courtyard's business, I don't need you to worry about it...Jianmao Dao, why don't you quickly find someone to put out the fire!?"

Li Shun suddenly "enlightened", mainly because he saw Zhu Hao rushing towards the fire. Originally, the fire did not burn this boy, but now this boy rushed in to die on his own initiative, and you still stopped him? Lu Song, you really have no sense of consciousness.

None!

Jianmao Dao looked proud and shouted: "Fighting the fire! Fighting the fire!"

It was like singing a double act with Li Shun. Although Jianmao Dao made a loud voice, he did not take any actual action. He looked at the open door with a pair of ruthless eyes, wondering whether to seal the door to ensure that Zhu Hao could not get out and be burned alive in the fire...





The corridor was a mess.

many people.

But most of them came to see the excitement. Almost everyone felt that the fire was set by Prince Xing's palace to burn Zhu Hao to death, and no one was willing to put out the fire.

It's not your own property. If it burns down, you don't have to pay for it. Putting out the fire may ruin the palace's plan to eliminate the traitor.

Regardless of who puts out the fire and successfully puts it out in the end, who will have to compensate for the loss of the palace?

Whoever wants to save this fire can save it.

There are also some people who like to steal things from the palace warehouse. If it is burned down and the losses cannot be counted, then the theft will not be exposed. Why should I put out the fire and ruin my job?

Most of this group of people are ordinary people who spend money and money. Naturally, their little thoughts cannot escape Zhu Hao's eyes, so he has made elaborate designs specifically for this.

When Zhu Hao rushed into the fire scene, he immediately ran to the house where he lived.

It was true that the fire was set in the yard, but he cleverly used tung oil to lead it to the warehouse. The warehouse was to the west, but he lived in a wing in the northeast of the yard. After the fire started, there was a lot of smoke here, but in fact there was no fire at all.

, when he rushed into the house, as expected, Zhu Houcong was still sleeping on the Eight Immortals table, and even the smoke did not wake him up.

Zhu Hao conveniently put on the clothes he had prepared a long time ago. It was a piece of cloth that had been burned by fire in advance. The surface was covered with black ash and holes. It was sprinkled with phosphorus powder. He helped Zhu Houcong up and put the clothes in front of him.

A revolving lantern was lit, and he picked it up and directed it to himself.

The phosphorus powder on the tattered clothes instantly ignited.

The phosphorus fire is a low-temperature flame, with a temperature of only about 40 degrees. It looks like a flame but is harmless to people. He wants to give people the illusion that he is saving people from a raging fire.

After getting everything ready, the revolving lantern took off its hand and fell to pieces on the ground.

"call……"

Fire started.

Zhu Hao picked up a wet blanket soaked in water and put it on Zhu Houcong. He was short of time and had no time to burn holes in Zhu Houcong's clothes. He could only pretend that he was giving Zhu Houcong the wet blanket that represented the chance of survival, while he

But he braved the fire to save others...

He covered Zhu Houcong's mouth and nose with a wet cloth. Zhu Hao helped Zhu Houcong and walked out.
