At the other end, the carriages of Lu Yu and Wen Jinnuo had arrived at the entrance of Bingshan Cang in the southeast of the city. At this time, a fast horse galloped to report.
"Sir, it's not good, there's a fire in the Yushan warehouse."
"What?"
Wen Jinnuo and Lu Yu said in unison.
"Someone saw Huo Yuncheng, the second master of the Huo family, entering Yushancang!"
Lu Yu felt his scalp numb and said, "Quickly, go to Yushancang."
Wen Jinnuo grabbed his arm: "Yuanli, wait!"
He held his waist with one hand and pulled Lu Yu with the other. He gasped in pain and began to sweat again.
Lu Yu quickly supported him and said anxiously: "How are you? Does it hurt? They told you to go home and rest..."
"Yuanli!" Wen Jinnuo interrupted him, calmed down for a moment, and then said: "Listen to me, firstly, there is no way that Yushan warehouse caught fire for no reason, and it is too late for us to go now. Secondly, don't underestimate Huo Yuncheng.
"Thirdly, if the Yushan warehouse is burned down, the most important thing now is the Bingshan warehouse!" Wen Jinnuo patted Lu Yu's arm gently, "Don't lose an inch."
"Yes, it was me who messed up." Lu Yu knew that his classmate and best friend were right. It would be useless for him to go to Yushan warehouse at this time. He supported Wen Jinnuo and said, "Let's go into the warehouse!"
…
Southwest of the city suburbs, Yushancang.
The soldiers ran out, but no matter which door they escaped from the Yushan warehouse, they were all tied up by the guards in black.
No matter where they are, the guards in black will politely shout: "I have been ordered to inspect the Yuanzhou Granary. No one is allowed to leave until the cause of the fire is found! Take it down!"
"Fire Dragon, I'm going to inform Mr. Fu Cheng..."
"No one is allowed to leave Yushancang for any reason. Violators will be shot without mercy." The guards in black bent their bows and arrows and stared at everyone coldly.
Not long after, more than thirty people were tied up and six were shot and injured.
The wind was howling, the fire dragon was fierce, and in such chaos, no one in Yushan Cang escaped from the surrounding guards in black.
When Mrs. Huo Sanniang's carriage arrived, she saw that the entire Yushan warehouse had been controlled by the Huo family's guards. Her heart, which had reached her throat, finally calmed down.
To be able to make such a meticulous arrangement, Mr. Huo must have sensed the danger and made corresponding arrangements.
Mrs. Huo Sanniang saw Mr. Huo's personal steward running towards her, and was about to get off the carriage, but the steward gestured towards her, and then ignored the guard between men and women and the distinction between master and servant, and got directly into the carriage, saluting and saying:
Said: "Sister, there are many people talking, I am offended by this little one."
Mrs. Huo Sanniang waved her hand and asked directly: "What does second brother want me to do?"
The steward said: "Sister, please try not to get off the carriage unless necessary. Second Master, please secretly observe the time and reaction of officials from Yuanzhou arriving at Yushancang, and write it down."
The third lady nodded, this was exactly what she was good at. To be on the safe side, she still asked: "Where is the second brother? Is he okay?"
"Don't worry, Third Lady, Second Master is fine. He has already rushed to the Bingshan warehouse." The steward paused and lowered his voice and said, "Second Master, if any adults insist on coming to see you in the carriage, please
You weep sadly and beg the gentleman to save the second master."
"Did the Second Master go to Bingshan Cang secretly?" Mrs. Huo Sanniang paused, and her expression turned cold. "So, the fire in Yushan Cang is really someone's intention to harm the Second Master?"
"That should be the case. Before entering the warehouse, the young lady accompanying the second master today discovered something was wrong, so she asked the second master and his skilled guard Li Xiao to change clothes, and Li Xiao pretended to be the second master and went into the warehouse to inspect the grain.
The second master has already arranged for people to surround the Yushan warehouse. If there is any movement, no one is allowed to leave. But..."
"It's just that you didn't expect that it would actually set the warehouse on fire."
"No, it's not just a fire, it's a cupping cannon." The steward looked solemn, "Li Xiao pretended to be the second master. As soon as he started to inspect the grain, the people in the warehouse lit the fire line and exploded the cupping cannon. The cupping cannon was placed in the kerosene.
On the tank, this explosion ignited the fire oil tank, and the fire started."
"Cup can cannon? Black powder!" Mrs. Huo Sanniang punched the table and said in a hateful voice: "These unfed wolf cubs! After feeding them with delicacies from all over the world, they bite their master in return! Yuanzhou
It’s time for a change!”
The steward promised in a low voice, and Mrs. Huo Sanniang asked again: "How are our casualties?"
The steward replied: "Li Xiao was very close. As soon as he realized something was wrong, he ran away. However, he was stabbed several times by the fragments of the exploded clay pot. His legs, arms, and back were all injured. Later, in order to protect the second master, he rushed out first.
Attracting the assassin, he was slashed in many places with swords. At this time, the doctor's wife was treating him." He paused and then said hurriedly: "The second master told me that when others asked, no matter who it was, they all said that it was the second master who was injured.
"
"It's natural." Mrs. Huo Sanniang clenched her fists. If it was really his second brother who went into the warehouse to inspect the grain, how could he escape such a plot even with Banxia's close protection? She suddenly thought of something, frowned and asked
Said: "What kind of doctor lady?"
"Well...it's the one brought by the second master." The steward was also a little strange. Is there anything else in the Huo family that the third wife doesn't know about?
"She really knows how to heal?" Madam Huo Sanniang's eyes widened.
"I don't know the details, but it looks like..." The steward thought about his words and said cautiously, "Yes."
Mrs. Huo Sanniang nodded thoughtfully.
The steward continued: "Also, Ban Ting...she said that Ban Xia often followed the second master. She was worried that someone would find out the clues, so she pretended to be Ban Xia and followed her into the prison. Although she has some leg skills, the incident happened
Suddenly, she deliberately separated Li Xiao and the assassin, and was dragged during the explosion. She couldn't escape for a while, so she was probably in danger."
What's more dangerous than good, Mrs. Huo Sanni looked at it like this, she saw that the warehouse and prison were almost on fire. There was no one who could escape at this time, so there was no hope of survival.
She sighed and said: "Take good care of her family. If she is willing to stay in the Huo family, she will give her a rich village to take care of. If she is not willing to keep it, she will give her enough money and let them choose another shop and go there by herself."
You can make a living."
"Yes." The steward responded and said, "Second Master also means the same thing."
Madam Huo Sanniang thought for a while and asked, "Who else knows where the second master is?"
"When the second master came out, he was wearing Li Xiao's guard uniform and covered his mouth and nose with a wet cloth. Even if someone saw him, they wouldn't be able to recognize him."
The steward pointed to the place where a group of guards were encircling the city not far from the carriage window, and said: "Except for the people who entered the warehouse, there are only me and the guard captain Zhan Yuan, and a few attendants who followed Zhang Ying. They are now ordered to take the doctor's wife
It is surrounded and no one can get close to it. Everyone else should think that the second master went into the warehouse to inspect the grain and was seriously injured and is being treated."
"I know. Go ahead."
The steward then resigned and left.
After the steward left, Mrs. Huo Sanniang called her personal maid Banyan and said: "Wander around and pay attention to unusual things. You have the authority to deal with it as appropriate." She ordered two more guards to follow the maid.
