"It's on fire..." A sharp shout broke through the silence of the night. The sleeping person was awakened. He raised his head from the warm quilt and looked out the window, but saw a fire.
"Put the fire soon! It's on fire!"
"All up, dad, mom, it's on fire, get up quickly..."
"Goudan, don't cry, dad is here now, don't be afraid!"
For a moment, with the warning sound of the copper basin being knocked, the people got up one after another, and didn't care about the biting cold, and casually put on a coat and ran out the door.
There were also poor families who were reluctant to give up money. After the couple woke up, they immediately ran to the place where they hid the silver and stuffed the silver they had saved with great difficulty into their arms, then picked up their slightly valuable clothes and bedding and ran out of the house.
As for the elderly and children who were unable to move, they were also supported by their families. The sky was illuminated by the fire. Someone climbed to the trees in the yard and looked out. Huh, the four main streets of Xiangwu County with a tic-tac-shaped layout.
All red lights emerged.
"Miss, are you awake?" He Nuan quickly walked in from the outside room, lit the candle and saw that Zhan Feiyu had already put on his clothes.
Zhan Feiyu, who had just gone to bed and rested after midnight, slept for a long time now. Hearing the noise outside, Zhan Feiyu quickly pulled out a ribbon from the dressing table and tied his hair with the most convenient ponytail.
, "What's going on?"
"Someone set fire." He Nuan had just flew up to the roof and looked at it. The house in Qiu Mansion was not small, and there were no adjacent houses on the front, back, left and right, so the fire did not spread to Qiu Mansion.
But several houses not far from Qiu Mansion were burning. Fortunately, the fire was not big and there was snow outside, so it was relatively easy to put out the fire.
With a frown, Zhan Feiyu strode towards the door, and the cold air came to his face. Standing under the corridor, you could even hear the shouts in the distance, and the dark sky was illuminated by the fire.
He Sheng and the groom stood quietly not far away to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation or killing people.
"Help, help me, old man..." At this moment, outside the gate of Qiu Mansion, there was a crying sound, accompanied by a banging sound of the door.
The two servants guarding the door were also completely sleepy, but after staying in the Qiu Mansion for many years, they naturally knew the rules of the big family. No matter how people outside the door shouted for help, the two servants did not dare to open the door rashly.
One person was still guarding the door, the other person hurried inside and reported to the butler.
When Zhan Feiyu walked to the front yard, Qiu Zongxi had already gone to the door.
In the dark, a figure walked to Zhan Feiyu and whispered: "There are three houses not far away that are seriously burning. There are elderly and children in the house. The fire is too big. They come to Qiu Mansion for help."
While walking outside, Zhan Feiyu asked, "Have you found any clues?"
In addition to He Sheng and the other two on the surface, there was a group of people protecting Zhan Feiyu in the dark. Especially after the situation in Xiangwu County became tense and dangerous, Yin Wuyan transferred people over again.
A total of twelve people are divided into three groups, each with shifts once every four hours.
After discovering the fire, people in the dark immediately sent out a signal. In less than a cup of tea, two teams of people who were resting rushed over to support, while four people from the other team went to investigate the situation.
"The fires were all burned from the firewood room. Someone shot rockets and ignited the bedroom." The person standing in the dark informed Zhan Feiyu about the information he received at the first time.
The winter in Xiangwu County is cold, and it will be ice-like since mid-November. It will only warm up in March next year. It is inconvenient to collect firewood in winter, so every household will build a woodshed, which is opposite to it.
firewood.
Moreover, these firewoods are very dry and not only burn at a glance, but the fire will instantly grow after burning, which can immediately swallow the adjacent houses.
In addition, in the secret, someone wrapped the cloth soaked in tung oil on the arrow, ignited it and shot it into the bedroom. The bedding on the kang, the clothes placed on the kang, and the cabinet placed on the side, were also burned at a glance.
wood.
This is not for himself. Zhan Feiyu understands that even if he is a senior minister of the cabinet, he is a civil servant after all. All forces lurking in Xiangwu County care about military power, so even if someone wants to take action, it is the Yang family.
.
"When Uncle Yang left in the afternoon, did he say that Yang Xu would not come back tomorrow?" Zhan Feiyu asked confirmation, and saw He Nuan nodding, it was not for Yang Xu.
"Will it be a plan to lure the tiger out of the mountain? Old General Yang is now alone in Shitou Village?" He Nuan's expression was filled with worries.
Suddenly there were fires everywhere in Xiangwu County, and cries were heard. General Yang would definitely mobilize the old subordinates of the Yang family in Xiangwu County to help put out the fire and save people. If the enemy in the secret arrived at Shitou Village at this time, the old general Yang would not have a good sword.
, but two fists cannot match four hands, and there may be danger.
Standing still, Zhan Feiyu looked at the seven or eight people kneeling down at the gate of Qiu Mansion from afar, two old women with pale hair, four and a half-year-old children, and the rest were three.
The young wife was crying and wanted to ask the servants of Qiu Mansion to come and help save the people.
"I understand, you guys get up quickly." Qiu Zongxi also only wore a coat, but fortunately it was a fox fur. There would be no need for a few people to cry and ask the housekeeper to gather all the servants to protect the hospital.
Amid the crying and gratitude, the group quickly ran towards several houses where the fire was vigorous.
As soon as the people from Qiu Mansion left, hurried footsteps came from the yard. However, Qiu Jinyu and six or seven people ran over. I thought they knew something was wrong outside and planned to bring people to help.
"Miss Zhan, you?" Although Qiu Jinyu is only a fourteen-year-old boy, he is not much shorter than an adult man. In addition, he is both civil and military. Although he is not as tall and strong as a martial artist, he is also more of a similar age than his fellow martial artist.
Scholars should be much stronger, and they will not cause trouble if they want to help.
"Prince Qiu is more careful." Zhan Feiyu gave in to the side, and let Qiu Jinyu and his party pass by without blocking the road.
"It's cold at this moment, Miss Zhan will go back to the yard first." Qiu Jinyu said with concern, probably in a hurry to save the person. After he finished speaking, he strode out the door, and six subordinates followed immediately.
.
Zhan Feiyu did not intend to go over to help. Even though she was sure that the fire was not for her, she was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid that if she didn't leave the Qiu Mansion, she would be able to make up for her and ignore it.
But if they really went to the fire and heard the crying and asking for help in the room, Zhan Feiyu would probably ask He Sheng and the others to save the person.
"Miss, why don't we go back to the house first." He Nuan asked carefully. He Nuan was a little worried. Outsiders thought that the lady was cruel and didn't look like a child, but He Nuan knew that Zhan Feiyu's inner softness and kindness were all thinking about it at this moment.
Take the people to the yard first.
Seeing He Nuan’s worry, Zhan Feiyu couldn’t help laughing, “A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, A Nuan, you don’t have to worry, I’m afraid of death and will not take risks.”
He Nuan's heart was relieved. It was not something that a few people could do to set fires everywhere in Xiangwu County. At least it was a well-trained team. If the lady went out to put out the fire, if she met her
When it is dangerous, even He Nuan cannot guarantee that he can escape safely with Zhan Feiyu in the chaos.
...
