Chapter 66 Fire
After leaving the Marquis of Wuxiang, Yuan Rong's cold sweat had not yet been done. He thought that today he would come to invite the Marquis of Wuxiang, Su Zicheng, to go to the wind and moon together. Who knew that such a result was the result. He was dissatisfied with Yang Ning, but since the incident had happened, it would be useless to blame and complain. He could only repeatedly remind Yang Ning to fulfill his promise and ensure the safety of Wu Manager.
Yang Ning was in a very comfortable mood. When he returned to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, he was not in a hurry to tell the people at home.
He thought he would sleep very peacefully this night, but it seemed that the truth was true. He slept very peacefully in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, he suddenly heard the door being knocked and woke up Yang Ning, who was sleeping heavily.
He felt very displeased. He was about to get up and was about to get angry. He heard Qi Feng's voice, and then suppressed his anger and opened the door. He only saw Qi Feng's anxious expression. Seeing Yang Ning open the door, he said anxiously: "Criminal, big...that's a big deal!"
In the middle of the night, Qi Feng's appearance surprised Yang Ning and asked, "What's wrong? The sky fell?"
"It's almost the same." Qi Feng said: "The prince, the pawnshop... is burning there."
Before Yang Ning could react, he frowned and said, "What does it mean? What's the burning?"
"The pawn shop, the pawn shop is burning." Qi Feng stamped his feet in a hurry: "Brother Duan has already protected the third wife and went to the pawn shop. The second brother asked me to come over and tell the prince."
Yang Ning then realized it and said in a lost voice: "Are you talking about our pawnshop?"
"Yes." Qi Feng thought to himself if it was someone else's pawnshop, why would I be so anxious?
Yang Ning knew something was wrong, so he hurried over and pulled his clothes, and said as he walked: "How come the pawnshop gets burned? Is it serious? Take me over quickly. By the way, is it hurting people?"
Qi Feng followed Yang Ning and said, "Someone came over there to report that the pawnshop suddenly caught fire in the middle of the night. I don't know what the situation is now."
Qi Feng had already sent people to prepare horses in front of the mansion. He did not delay leaving the mansion. Qi Feng rode his horse in front to lead the way, and Yang Ning and two other guards followed closely behind.
The horse was fast, and soon Yang Ning saw the sky in the distance red. He knew that it was the fire point. He rushed over and arrived at a crossroads and saw the fire in front of him soaring into the sky, the fire was raging, and the figures around him were flashing, and many people were putting out the fire.
When Yang Ning saw this scene, he was stunned. The fire was not just burning one or two houses, but spreading, and five or six houses were already shrouded in the fire.
Yang Ning turned over and dismounted and quickly walked over. In the fire, he saw Gu Qinghan's figure. He approached the past. The fire made Gu Qinghan's face red, but her delicate body was trembling. Yang Ning shouted: "Sanniang..."
Gu Qinghan turned his head to look at Yang Ning, with a bitter smile on his face, and suddenly shook his delicate body, but she saw her suddenly covering her left chest with one hand, and her pretty face showed a look of pain, and she was about to collapse. Yang Ning quickly stepped forward, held her soft body and said in surprise: "Sanniang, Sanniang, what's wrong with you?" Gu Qinghan saw her teeth tightly and her eyebrows were frowning. Although she was next to the fire, her face was pale and terrible.
Duan Canghai had already rushed over at this time and said in surprise: "How about the third lady?"
Qi Feng shouted, "Come to the doctor."
Duan Canghai snatched it and said, "I offended you!" He reached out and pressed Gu Qinghan's hand pulse, frowned and said, "Hurry up and ask the doctor!"
"I can't wait." Yang Ning shook his head and said, "Sanniang is a heart disease. This disease cannot be delayed. I'll give it a try."
段沧海和齐峰都是一怔,不由讶然,齐峰忍不住问道:“世子爷,你.....你还会治病?”心中却大是怀疑,只怕杨宁治病不成,反要耽搁.
Of course, Yang Ning doesn’t know how to do medical skills, but he still knows some common acute diseases. This heart disease is actually one of the most common acute diseases. Yang Ning really knows a little. At this moment, he reached out to Gu Qinghan’s pulse. Duan Canghai and Qi Feng looked at each other, thinking that seeing the prince’s appearance, can he really take the pulse and diagnose the disease?
Yang Ning really knows some superficial pulse, but he has no means of diagnosing the disease.
Taking pulses and diagnosing diseases is not as easy as saying. This is a relatively high-tech skill. Even in Yang Ning's era, there were very few doctors who could really take pulses.
Yang Ning took his pulse not to diagnose the disease, but to find the Ximen point on Gu Qinghan's hand. Ximen point is one of the Jueyin pericardial meridian acupoints of the twelve meridians of the human body. It is on the palm side of the forearm and has five inches of horizontal lines on the wrist. Yang Ning knew that massage the pericardial meridian has the function of reducing heart pressure and replenishing blood supply.
In fact, this kind of emergency meridian knowledge is not complicated or profound. It is just that there are not many people who understand blood vessels and meridians, so it seems very mysterious.
Yang Ning learned about the human meridian acupoints and bones. When he was learning meridian acupoints, he had to learn these emergency methods.
Heart fainting is an extremely common sudden disease, and the symptoms are easy to identify. Yang Ning could tell at a glance that Gu Qinghan had a heart attack. He knew that this was caused by anger. At this moment, his left thumb pressed Gu Qinghan's Ximen point, grabbed her soft horn with his right hand, reversed his left thumb, and shook his right hand out. This movement seemed strange to Duan Canghai and others. He looked at each other, but his heart was full of doubts about Yang Ning.
After shaking for about ten times, Gu Qinghan breathed a breath from his pink lips and his eyes opened slightly. Yang Ning did not stop and extended his fingers to press the Neiguan acupoint on Gu Qinghan's arm. He rubbed it several times. Gu Qinghan coughed for a while, and finally opened his eyes completely and looked around.
Duan Canghai and Qi Feng both showed joy. At this time, they had no doubts about Yang Ning anymore and were very impressed.
"Ning'er..." leaning against Yang Ning's arms, Gu Qinghan smiled bitterly: "The pawnshop has burned, this...ah, it's all my fault..."
Yang Ning helped Gu Qinghan up and said softly: "Sanniang, the pawnshop is on fire, it's just an accident. What does it have to do with you?" There were many people who saw that the fire was put out. It should be that the neighbors were awakened to put out the fire, and even patrol officers joined the firefighting team.
Seeing that Gu Qinghan was not in trouble, Duan Canghai went over and continued to command people to put out the fire. There were many people and strong forces. Although the fire was fierce, with the joint efforts of everyone, the fire gradually extinguished a lot.
Yang Ning saw that the fire had burned five or six houses, and the loss was really considerable. He frowned. At this moment, he saw a person coming from the crowd, over fifty years old and heavy steps. At this moment, his clothes were in a mess. The man was stunned when he saw Yang Ning, but he still walked up and suddenly knelt in front of Yang Ning.
这人冷不丁跪下,杨宁吃了一惊,只听这人已经带着哭腔道:“老奴没用,世子,当铺被烧,都是老奴粗心大意,您.....您杀了老奴吧.”
杨宁还没来得及说话,顾清菡已经走过来,蹙眉道:“徐掌柜,你先起来!”
Manager Xu knelt down and cried, "I am trusted by the general and the third wife. I have been in charge of the pawn shop for more than ten years, but this time it has caused such a huge disaster. Even if I die ten or eight times, it will be difficult to atone for this life. The third wife, the prince, the old slave... I have no face to live anymore..." Kneel on the ground and knocked my head on the ground.
Yang Ning knew that this shopkeeper Xu should be the shopkeeper of the pawnshop. Seeing that he knocked on the ground with his head and didn't hold him back, the old guy really wanted to kill himself, so he reached out and pulled him up and said coldly: "The matter has not yet been revealed. I haven't figured out what the situation is. What are you in a hurry to seek death?"
Manager Xu was crying and his whole body was trembling.
“怎么会这样?”身后传来邱总管焦急声音,杨宁回头,见到邱总管匆匆而来,“好端端的,怎地会生出这么大一场火?”
邱总管脸色难看,走上前来,盯住泪流不止的徐掌柜,责问道:“老徐,到底是怎么个状况?这场火是从别人那里引过来,还是咱们铺子先着火?”
杨宁心想总管就是总管,这句话倒是问到了要紧处.
这场火烧了五六家店铺,如果是从别家引来,齐家的当铺即使被烧了,秋后算账,总还是能够找人赔偿,损失也不会太大.
However, if this fire was caused by the pawnshop, the consequences would be unimaginable. Not to mention the losses of the pawnshop itself would be immense. At that time, several other burned shops would definitely come to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion to ask for compensation, and the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion would definitely fall into an unprecedented dilemma.
The current economic situation of the Marquis of Jinyi is very unsatisfactory. Qi Jing was very devastated and consumed a lot of money. Now he still owes a lot of money to the house. If the time goes by, the Marquis of Jinyi's economy is not weak and he can recover. However, if the responsibility for the fire falls on the Marquis of Jinyi's mansion at this time, it will undoubtedly be a fatal disaster.
顾清菡显然对此也是十分关注,妙目盯住徐掌柜,只等徐掌柜回话.
徐掌柜老泪流淌,“三夫人,邱总管,这场大火.....这场大火是从咱们家铺子蔓延过去.....!”
杨宁心下一沉,邱总管神色愈加凝重,便是顾清菡也是微微变色,轻叹一声,摇了摇头.
"The other shops are all connected to the south of our pawn shops," Yang Ning said slowly: "The north wind is not small tonight. Once the fire spreads, it will continue to spread south...!" Frowning: "These shops are mainly made of wood. Now it is late autumn, the sky and the earth are dry, which is the most dangerous time..."
此时火势已经小下来,救火之时,为了避免火势继续往南边的铺子蔓延,所以先从南边开始灭火,阻断了往南的火源.
