At the same time, in the hot spring villa more than 20 miles outside Tong'an City, the prefect of Tong'an City ran all the way. It was only when he escaped here that he was shocked. He hid in his house and refused to come out again. It was obviously scared by the terrifying fire rain in Tong'an City.

"Is the prefect in there?"

A middle-aged and long-bearded man in a common man rushed to the door, and he anxiously asked the commander who was guarding the door.

The commander whispered: "The old man escaped from Tong'an, suffered from coldness and was shocked again, and he just went to bed."

The long bearded man stamped his feet in a hurry: "When is it now? Is it still sleeping? Can I sleep?" As he said that, he was about to rush inside.

The commander whispered: "The elder said, he doesn't want to see anyone."

The long bearded man said angrily: "I don't see you either?"

The commander smiled bitterly and repeated: "The elder said that he didn't want to see anyone."

The long bearded man was furious. He lifted his robe and shouted loudly: "Sir, it's me! Don't you see me either!"

The commander hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and he begged in a low voice: "Oh, my chief clerk! Don't shout, you will disturb you later. This board of emotions will not hit you!"

The long bearded man sneered: "Now Tong'an is like a sea of ​​fire, countless people are wailing to death. At this moment of life-saving and putting out the fire, what you are thinking about is your butt!"

The commander was displeased. He stretched his face and started to make an official voice, saying, "Mr. Chu Yunchu, according to what you said, why don't you go to save someone? What kind of majesty are you here?"

Chu Yun said angrily: "I am the chief clerk, not the chief lieutenant, nor the county magistrate! There are no soldiers or soldiers under my command, how can I save people!"

The commander said sarcastically: "Aren't you a human?"

Chu Yun was furious: "My surname is Zhang, what do you mean?"

Commander Zhang rolled his eyes: "It's not interesting!"

Chu Yun stepped forward and grabbed Commander Zhang: "You make it clear! How dare a little commander insult me? Do you want this official skin?"

Commander Zhang also said angrily: "You are the one who you are, you can remove me from my position!"

Chu Yun was furious and immediately started fighting with Commander Zhang, but as a weak scholar, how could he be the opponent of this commander? Even if the other party neglects training, there is a natural gap in physical fitness.

Especially the guards next to him came up to pull the squad, but they were all pulling the squad. You punched Chu Yun and hit him with one punch and one kick. In just a short while, he hit him with a bruised nose and swollen face and his hair was disheveled.

At this time, an impatient voice came from the inner room: "What's the matter? It's so noisy, can you let people sleep?"

Chu Yun immediately tidied up his clothes. He wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth and nose, glared at the commander hatefully, and then suppressed his shame and anger. He shouted: "Sir, it's me, the chief clerk Chu Yun!"

"Oh, it's the chief clerk who has arrived. Come on, please come in."

Chu Yun glared at the people around him again, walked in with his head held high, but the dusty footprints on his body made him look embarrassed.

As soon as Chu Yun entered the house, he felt a heat coming to his face. The kang in the house was as warm as spring. The prefect Xu Tao leaned with his big belly and leaned crookedly on the recliner. A sting-eyed master stood beside him.

Xu Tao glanced at Chu Yun and was stunned: "Why is this the chief clerk like this?"

Chu Yun immediately sued a vicious complaint and said, "I just wanted to see the old man. Commander Zhang actually stopped me and kept saying that the old man wanted to rest! Now Tong'an is in chaos like Nine Prisons, the old man must be anxious. How can he sleep? Such a villain not only hinders official duties and harms the people, but also slanders the old man's innocence!"

Xu Tao gently stroked his chest and said, "This guy is so inappropriate, and the chief clerk dares to stop him! He is punished for three months to worship! Lord Chief clerk, calm down! When I go back, I will deal with him for you! Now... I am outside, there is not enough staff, and there is still a place to use them."

How could Chu Yun say no? He felt as disgusting as if he had eaten shit!

If you are fined for three months of worship, then it is only thirty taels of silver. For guys like them who eat inside and outside and eat outside, thirty taels are considered money?

Chu Yun bowed with anger and said, "As long as the elders' instructions."

Xu Tao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Old Chu, you are here in the middle of the night, are you going to come here? "

"What's the matter?" Chu Yun raised his head in shock, and he said anxiously, "My lord, now the whole city of Tong'an is in chaos, the fire spreads, the people flee wildly, burn to death, and trampling countless times, burning, killing, looting everywhere, and raping * women! Master, if you don't send troops to take care of it, Tong'an City... will be completely finished!"

Xu Tao sighed: "Send troops? Where are there any soldiers now? Moreover, my chief clerk, this is clearly an internal strife among practitioners. We are affected!"

"But...then we need to save the disaster!" Chu Yun was so anxious that he was sweating.

Xu Tao sighed: "Disaster relief? Who saves it? Where do people come from and where do money come from?"

Chu Yun said anxiously: "But, my elders! If this emperor investigates, we all have no brains in Tong'an City!"

Xu Tao looked at the master beside him, and both of them laughed proudly.

The master smiled and said, "Mr. Master, you have the truth to hide the superiors and not the subordinates, and deceive the people and not the emperor! This disaster is often a crisis, but this blessing is the source of misfortune, and the misfortune is the source of good fortune! There is opportunity if there is danger!"

Chu Yun looked confused: "What does the master mean?"

The master smiled and said, "Although this meteorite fire rain is a natural disaster,... since they are all stones that fall from the sky, they can naturally be auspicious!"

"What?"

Chu Yun was deeply shocked. He looked at the two smiling men in disbelief. He stuttered: "Auspicious? How does this natural disaster turn into auspicious?

"It's all meteorites falling from the sky! Find a big one and make some decorations. Wouldn't this auspiciousness come out?" The master smiled wretchedly.

Xu Tao slanted the master who was a little proud. The master immediately smiled apologized and retreated.

Xu Tao said slowly: "Chu Yunye, this time is the critical time for us to unite our hearts! If this auspiciousness is given well, I am afraid that there will be no mistakes and there will be more achievements!"

He laughed, and the master beside him also smiled.

Chu Yun looked at them in shock, and he subconsciously retreated, as if he didn't want to be in the same room with such a careless person!

"But...whether...what are there nearly 10,000 lives in Tong'an City?" Chu Yun said in a trembling voice.

Xu Tao said with a sad face: "I have no choice but to do anything!"

"Does... don't care about their lives? Could it be... these ten thousand unjust souls are so unclear, unclear, and have no explanation!" Chu Yun trembled all over and said in a crying voice.

Xu Tao's face darkened and said, "Chu Yun, don't think that you are the only one here who is worried about the country and the people! I also want to save the people from water and fire, but how to save them? I also want to seek justice for the people, but how to save them! How to solve this injustice! If you have the ability, you go to Lingshan and ask them to hand over the murderer, go!"

Chu Yun said excitedly: "I go to Beijing to sue the emperor! I don't believe that His Majesty doesn't care about this matter, I don't believe that the national teacher doesn't care about this matter!"

"You dare!!"

Xu Tao immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "Chu Yun, do you know that you will cause us to fall off with more than 100 black hats in Tong'an City?"

Chu Yun was furious and said, "The people in Tong'an City were in trouble, the people were dead, and they cried! How many wealthy families became extremely poor overnight! But you are still thinking about the black hat on your head!!"

Xu Tao was furious: "Xu Tao, you are arrogant!"

The master hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Master Secretary, this is not just a black veil, but also a head, even... including your own head!"

Chu Yun looked at them deeply. Seeing Xu Tao staring at him with a fierce look, he was silent for a while, took a deep breath, bowed a long time, and said, "Is it because I was thinking apart, or is it that the old man is far-sighted!"

Xu Tao suddenly turned angry and happy: "That's right! We Tong'an officials are united in our hearts. We will definitely be able to get through this level! Come on, Master, I will drink a drink with the chief clerk!"

Chu Yun bowed again, and he bent down and lowered his head, not daring to let the other party see his angry gaze. He barely controlled his voice and said, "Chu Yun came all the way, a little tired, and he couldn't help drinking, so he won't disturb the prefect's rest!"

After saying that, Chu Yun bowed and went out, then closed the door.

Xu Tao and his master looked at each other. The master gestured with his hand on his neck and made a slight throat-cutting gesture. Xu Tao's face was gloomy and clear. After a while, he nodded slowly.
