The Wucheng Fire burned for two days and two nights. Although Cui Jianfeng and others assisted Magistrate Zheng and organized the whole city to put out the fire, and finally put out the fire, the county seat after the fire was beyond recognition.

Some people may think that such a big fire, even if the county magistrate conceals it, will not be hidden from the eyes of the public, and the superiors will quickly discover and deal with it.

The result? Although the county town destroyed by the fire was in ruins, it did not disturb the people above at all.

Why?

The main reason is that the county town at that time was different from the green tiles and red eaves and magnificent ancient buildings imagined by modern people. Many counties and towns at that time were mostly low-rise houses built with adobe and stone walls. Even if they were destroyed by fire, they were all worthless.

People didn't take anything that was not high seriously. So, soon after the fire, people started transporting bricks with mud and restored the market quickly.

Naturally, the streets in ancient times were made of adobe, and there were not many priceless items. Burning down the county seat was not a big deal.

As the head of a county, Zheng Mingjie's biggest concern when facing a sudden fire is to find out the cause of the fire.

In fact, Zheng Mingjie was worried that the laser gun would cause a serious disaster long before the fire broke out. However, the matter was not as simple as Magistrate Zheng imagined. A laser gun could burn down a county town? Who believed it?

Unexpectedly, Zheng Mingjie passed the county captain's investigation and the result surprised him.

The fire was actually caused by the laser gun stolen by Gong Wuwa. The laser gun was not burned, but was still lying in the same place where the fire started. It was still emitting a strong laser beam when it was discovered!

It is unimaginable for modern people, not to mention the people of the Tang Dynasty in the cold weapon era, that such strong and lasting energy could be emitted from this small gun.

The county lieutenants and government officials did not know the inside story, so they still thought it was a magic light and did not dare to approach it. Some fire extinguishers accidentally passed in front of the beam of the laser gun while putting out the fire, and were cut in half in an instant and died.

Although Zheng Mingjie already understood the inside story and knew that it was not a derogatory artifact, but a weapon brought by aliens that used the cutting function of strong light to fight. But he did not dare to move, he just approached and looked at it cautiously.

Because the gun body and beam are super powerful lasers, the air near the beam is heated to form a light red visible beam. Although it is not dazzling, this situation is also very shocking to Zheng Mingjie who sees it for the first time.

The county captain, the officials in the government office, and the surrounding residents saw that the county magistrate was so bold. They admired him very much and forgot their fear. They were trembling at first, and then they slowly approached to see the move that had destroyed the whole city.

Little things.

"What is this thing? A magic light?" The county captain asked when he saw the county magistrate was stunned at the strange thing and stared at it for a long time without saying anything.

"No." Zheng Mingjie shook his head silently.

"Then what is this? What to do with it?" the county lieutenant asked again.

"This thing is called a laser gun. It is a strong light weapon brought by those three extraterrestrial visitors." Magistrate Zheng replied without thinking.

"What? Are the three people you are talking about the same gods who were demoted to mortals by the Jade Emperor who tripped our horses with magic light when we were chasing them that day?" the county captain asked in surprise.

"No, I heard Mr. Cui say that there is no such thing as heaven and the Jade Emperor in the world. Those three people used to live in our land. Later, they flew into the sky and flew very far away due to a great disaster.

What if the people who built the city and lived there now fly back and want to settle down in their hometown?"

"Really?" The county captain seemed to understand the explanation of the county magistrate, pointed at the thing and said: "Is this the weapon they use? It's so powerful. How can we fight against such a powerful expert?

?”

"Yes." Magistrate Zheng said to himself: "It seems that Cui Gong is still smarter."

"Why?"

"I used to blame him for delaying the case from being closed, but now I understand that he has long seen that these people are not easy to deal with, so he wanted to cooperate with them to calm the matter and quietly close the case."

"Really.",,

"Yes," County Magistrate Zheng said with infinite emotion: "The reason why things are like this now is all caused by my ignorance. I thought about it for a long time and finally understood, where are we such powerful aliens?"

"Then what should I do with this thing? Move it somewhere else and throw it away?" the county captain asked.

"Don't move. Go and tell Mr. Cui immediately and ask him to invite Mr. Qiu and ask him to take away his gun."

Listening to Magistrate Zheng's explanation, some of the government officials and residents watching around seemed to understand what was going on.

Because Cui Jianfeng and the others were still living in the Chunlai Inn, although the inn was burned to rubble, Boss Cheng also had a place to live in the suburbs, so he moved all the people in the inn to temporary guest rooms in the suburbs not far from the inn.

Upon hearing the words of the person sent by the county captain, Qiu Siyuan immediately asked Liang Haiming to follow Cui Jianfeng to turn off the beam on the laser gun that caused trouble and take it away.

"I never thought that such a small thing could burn down such a large county." Magistrate Zheng said sadly as he looked at the messy county in front of him.

"This was caused by man. Why do you blame the gun?" Cui Jianfeng glared angrily at the magistrate who was often causing trouble.

"Hey," Magistrate Zheng then remembered Gong Wuwa's incident and asked the county captain sternly: "Have you caught Gong Wuwa?"

"Not yet." The county captain replied timidly.

"There is no need to arrest him." Cui Jianfeng said coldly: "He has been knocked unconscious by Liang Haiming and locked up."

It turned out that Qiu Siyuan found out that Gong Wuwa was missing in the morning, so he went out to look for her. After searching for a long time, when he didn't see her, he asked Liang Haiming to search for Gong Wuwa from the air. But by this time, the fire had burned near the inn, and they hurriedly removed the items in the room.

After moving out, he followed Boss Cheng's instructions and moved to his temporary guest room on the outskirts of the city.

Soon, Liang Haiming found Gong Wuwa running out of the city in despair through his celestial eye, knocked him unconscious and asked Cui Jianfeng to send his men to get him back and lock him up next door to their residence.

"That's right." Zheng Mingjie gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Then please ask Mr. Cui to escort him to the county government immediately. I will skin him."

"Do you still have the nerve to criticize him?" Cui Jianfeng glanced at Zheng Mingjie lightly and said, "You, the county magistrate, should be skinned."

"How do you say this?" Zheng Mingjie's face changed and he asked timidly.

"These things are actually born of you and for you."

"I don't understand what Mr. Cui means."

"Because you paid 2,500 yuan to move a small thing, he became interested in that thing. You didn't tell him that thing was a magic light box. Of course he didn't know how powerful it was." Cui Jianfeng's words hit the nail on the head.

.

"But he charged me so much money and stole my things. Who wouldn't be angry?"

"You can't just grab and hit people like you do when you're angry."

"Did he burn down the city in revenge for this?"

"He didn't retaliate."

"Then why did he burn the city?"

"He wanted to take that gun back and give it to you."

"What does that have to do with burning the city? He was the one who set the fire anyway."

"No, you, the ignorant county magistrate, should be the one who set fire to the city."

"How do you say this?" Magistrate Zheng felt embarrassed when he was scolded in front of many onlookers. He was very unhappy, but he did not dare to vent. After all, the person in front of him was a fourth-rank official of the Tang Dynasty. Although he was not wearing any clothes today,

His red clothes.

"After he got the gun back from the wild, he planned to find a piece of cloth to wrap it up and then send it back. Unexpectedly, when he was wrapping the gun, he accidentally triggered the switch and injured one of his hands, and the gun fell to the ground.

It happened that the trigger was blocked by a wooden stick on the ground, causing the laser beam to emit for a long time. The laser slowly penetrated the wooden and earthen walls of the houses next door, causing a large number of houses to catch fire. Do you understand?

This is what you get for hitting him."

"But taking other people's money and stealing other people's things is a bad trait. Beating this kind of person is not a fault."

"It's only your fault that you don't know how to do things yourself." Cui Jianfeng said coldly.

"He burned the city, how can you blame me?" Zheng Mingjie felt aggrieved.
