Chapter 491: Fire(1/2)

Pang Chengqiu, who was guarding the garden, waited until Qingya arrived.

Qingya, who was kicking and walking, took out the banknote he had just obtained and slapped it in his palm, looking quite leisurely and contentedly. This feeling of having both sides was quite interesting.

"Let's go, take it." Qingya handed the one million taels of silver notes he had just received to Pang Chengqiu without taking the money too seriously.

Pang Chengqiu looked at it, smiled slightly, and thanked him casually, "Thank you, Master Qing."

The two of them walked home one after another.

When I was about to walk out of this beautiful garden, I saw a middle-aged man in blue blocking the way with his hands behind his back. He had a clean face, a thin body, a sickly flushed face, and big, dull eyes.

Zhong was looking up at the top of a big tree in the garden.

When Qingya saw him, he was a little startled. He slowly walked to him and looked in the direction he was looking. He didn't see anything interesting. He immediately raised his hands and said, "Master Lu, what are you looking at?"

The man in blue is called Lu Wudang. He is the shopkeeper of Langhuanju. He is also the general person in charge of the Haishi business of the Five Cave Masters in Qianliu Mountain. He is responsible for more than just Langhuanju. Wang Wentian was previously in Jinghong.

On the night when the incident happened in the palace, he was also entertaining guests in the Jinghong Palace.

Lu Wudang was unmoved when he heard this, and didn't even look at him, "Qingya, I heard that you are very busy, running back and forth in my Langhuan residence, aren't you tired?"

Qingya was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master Lu is joking, I don't have much ability. I can only run errands for big shots like you and earn some hard-earned money for running errands. I hope you won't be blamed if it disturbs Master Lu's purity."

Lu Wudang: "The legs are on your own body. No one will care if you like to run away. But if you think clearly about where this place is, the guests in my Langhuan Residence are all valuable. You'd better not cause trouble here."

Otherwise, it’s not certain whether there will be a place for you to run errands in Haishi in the future.”

Qingya chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I won't dare to cause trouble anywhere on your territory."

Lu Wudang: "It's best this way."

He suddenly appeared here because he noticed some unusual clues. He felt that Qingya's whereabouts here were very abnormal, so he came out to warn. It should be noted that one of the main selling points of Langhuanju in Haishi is safety, and anything can happen if you live here.

If it can make people fearful, then it would be too bad of a brand.

Qingya: "If Mr. Lu doesn't have any instructions, I'll leave first."

Lu Wudang: "I won't send it away."

Qingya cupped his hands and avoided it, and continued walking forward with a pair of wooden clogs.

After leaving Langhuanju and getting into the carriage, Pang Chengqiu, who was traveling with him, couldn't help but spat, "I didn't look at anyone seriously from the beginning to the end. I really thought I could represent the Lord of the Fifth Cave."

Qingya looked indifferent and took out the peanuts and continued peeling them, "If he's happy, let him say a few words. It's not worth arguing with him. Don't get angry."



In front of the window, Yu Qing and Nan Zhu took turns on duty, taking turns staring at a certain direction on the opposite side, waiting for the signal from Mu Aotie.

In fact, they really don't want to see the signal given by Mu Aoti, otherwise it will cause more trouble and variables.

Just because of Qingya's words, the three brothers and sisters no longer have any differences. They all want to get rid of someone.

Time passed little by little, and until dark, no signal from Mu Aotie was seen.

At night, the moonlight bloomed, and the three brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief. It was unlikely that they would ask someone to clean it at night. Even if someone did, it would probably not be easy to see the transparent thread.

Despite this, the three brothers are still waiting in their respective places.

Mu Aotie still has another task, to pay attention to whether Wang Xuetang has left.

Yu Qing and Nan Zhu were in a dark room with no lights on, and they kept paying attention to the light in the window of the room where Wang Xuetang lived.

As the night progressed, the two saw all the windows in the target room closed.

Yu Qing said: "Old Qi, go to the inn to get some drinks and food. Let's go to the balcony in the garden to eat, drink and admire the moon."

“The food in this inn is much more expensive than outside.”

"Then go outside and get some. I'll wait for you there first." Yu Qing pointed out the location in front of the window.

The two of them went out together, went downstairs, one went outside the inn, and the other walked in the garden.

After finding Mu Aotie and confirming that Wang Xuetang had not left, Yu Qing took Mu Aotie to the balcony in the garden to admire the moon.

There are also other sporadic residents in the garden, enjoying the moonlight and so on. They are all dressed in a rich or expensive style.

Half an hour later, Nanzhu arrived with a bunch of things. Food was spread out on the table, and the three of them sat around and enjoyed it slowly...

In Jinghong Hall, there were also people on the stage admiring the moon. Qingya, who was looking up at the moon, was alone, guarding a jug of wine.

After Pang Chengqiu came on stage, Qingya took the initiative to ask: "What's going on with those three guys? Is there still no movement?"

The tone of questioning was very strong, because Yu Qing had told him before that he had no time to leave today and had things to do. However, the following situation obtained here is that there has been no movement, especially Yu Qing, who did not even come out of the room. It is a ghost.

thing?

Pang Chengqiu said: "There's something going on. The fat man went out to buy something to eat. The flower hunter also went out. The three of them sat on the terrace in the garden, eating, drinking and admiring the moon."

Qingya frowned, and after a while he muttered, "You're really enjoying yourself."

Pang Chengqiu: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Qing being so concerned?"

Qingya shook his head slightly, "I can't explain clearly, I just feel like something is wrong, and people continue to stare at it."

"Don't worry, Mr. Qing. I've told you that I will keep an eye on them before they leave tomorrow."



On the target window sill, the shadow light suddenly dimmed, plunging the entire target room into darkness.

Yu Qing's eyes suddenly narrowed as he slowly raised his glass, and then he continued to drink slowly, pretending to be nonchalant as he drank with his senior brother and gossiped about the world.

It seemed like they were chatting, but in fact they were quietly looking around at each other without stopping.

After staying up for another half an hour, there was still no light or movement in the target room. Yu Qing held the wine glass in front of his lips and whispered: "Old Jiu, it's almost time. You should go pee."

Hearing this, Nan and Mu were both shocked, and naturally they understood what it meant.

Mu Aoti drank the glass, put down the glass and immediately stood up and left.

Nanzhu, whose heart strings were tense, whispered a reminder, "Lao Jiu, be careful."

Mu Aotie, who hummed slightly, strode down the steps, walked through the garden, and went straight to the toilet.

When he arrived at the public toilet in a remote place, he undressed and poured out his clothes. He neatly packed his clothes and jumped up. He hooked a beam with one hand and drew a transparent silk thread from the ventilated bracket under the eaves.

He grabbed it in his hand, cast a spell, and after applying force to the silk thread, he pulled it, and the person fell to the ground dragging the silk thread.

He quickly stirred and gathered the threads, and finally pulled in a metal buckle cap from under the eaves, which was the cap of Yu Qing's special fire folding bag.

He also took out the fire bag he had with him, lit the balled up silk thread with a fire, threw it into the pit together with the metal lid, and then quickly went out.

In this kind of high-end inn, the toilet must be in a relatively hidden place. In a remote place, it is easy to store some things that are not suitable for public display. There is a tile shed not far behind the toilet, which is piled with dry firewood for the inn's daily use.

Among these dry firewood, there is a fire stick tied, without the lid, when it encounters the air, the weak light inside gradually brightens, turning into a little red light that flickers non-stop.

After a long time, the red light flashed and turned into an open flame, gradually igniting the nearby firewood.

Once this place where dry firewood is stored catches fire, the consequences can be imagined.

"Bright."

Nanzhu, who was picking up vegetables with chopsticks and looking around, suddenly muttered.

Mu Aotie and Yu Qing, who had been back for a while, also looked over. The firelight in the night was particularly conspicuous. After a while, flames were seen rising into the sky, showing that the fire was expanding very quickly.

"on fire!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

There were shouts and shouts inside Langhuan Residence, and silhouettes of people were flying across the sky. Many people rushed to put out the fire with buckets of water.

The chaos did not affect Yu Qing's attention to the target room. He saw Wang Xuetang opening the window in the back room. After a while, the lights in the living room outside also turned on...

There was a knock on the door. Wang Xuetang closed the window and left. He walked to the door and opened the door. When he saw Tu Xiukui who came over urgently, he immediately asked: "How could there be such a big fire?"

Tu Xiukui said: "I've had someone check it out, and they said that the firewood shed in Langhuanju accidentally caught fire, and they are in the process of first aid. The people at the inn are trying to reassure us, saying that nothing will happen, and saying that it has disturbed everyone's rest. That means

I will definitely give you an explanation as soon as possible."

Wang Xuetang went to the window and opened it to watch.

At this time, it was not only him who opened the window to observe, but also many guests.

Many monks took action, and the fire was quickly brought under control. The fire was extinguished in a short time, but it was inevitable that the smoke would fill the air, and there would be ashes floating everywhere after burning.

Tu Xiukui waved his hand and fanned the window, reminding him: "Brother, if there is smoke and ashes, you'd better close the window and rest early."

Indeed, Wang Xuetang wrinkled his nose and left the window when he smelled the smoke, and Tu Xiukui quickly closed the window.

At this time, Yu Qing could be said to be focused on nothing else. The smoke of fireworks floating everywhere was exactly what he needed. He used the moonlight and the light of lanterns hanging everywhere to pay close attention to the subtle changes in the smoke in the target window, ignoring any noise and staring closely.

Keep observing.

Wang Xuetang, who had been chatting indoors for a while, returned to the inner room. Tu Xiukui helped to close the door. Once the door was closed, the signs of smoke stirring when the air flow overflowed from the gap in the window became more obvious.

After closing the door inside, Tu Xiukui blew out the light in the hall. The sound of opening and closing the door also disturbed the airflow outside the window gap.

"Laojiu!" Yu Qing called out suddenly.

Mu Aotie immediately stepped forward to listen to the statement.

Yu Qing glanced at the noisy movement around him and whispered: "There are people walking around everywhere, it's a mess, and the eyeliners both overt and covert are all messed up. This is a great opportunity for you to take action. You must be gentle in your movements."
