The fire quickly alarmed the Yueqing County Government Office. Fortunately, the fire was not too close to the County Government Office. After receiving the news, Yueqing County Magistrate Ying Zhao almost ran out of the County Government Office, taking all the county government officials with him. , rushed to the scene.
When they arrived at the scene, the fire had completely burned out, and there was still some smell of tung oil.
When a group of county officials rushed towards Shen Yi's bedroom, they happened to see a strong man rushing out of the fire with a person on his back.
After the man rushed out, he was seriously injured. A moment later, he lay directly in the yard and fainted.
At the same time, seven or eight men in plain clothes rushed into the yard almost at the same time. After these men inspected the injuries of the two people lying on the ground, two of them rushed out, while the others took the two people away. They were guarded in the middle, and everyone looked serious.
After investigating the situation, the remaining internal guards lifted the two people on the ground and moved them to a safe room. Then four internal guards guarded the room and two internal guards guarded the door, prohibiting any movement. People enter.
At this time, Magistrate Ying had just arrived. He looked at these men. Although he was a little hesitant, he still had the courage to approach. Before he could get close to the door of the room where Shen Yi was, several men reached out to stop him. One man glared at Ying. He glanced at him and shouted: "Back off!"
An ordinary person might be so frightened that he would burst into tears if he was given such a drink, but after all, Ying Zhao was also a second-ranked Jinshi, and was the title official in the same year as Shen Yi. He just took two or three steps back, then raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, Shen Yi He said in a voice: "I am Ying Zhao, the magistrate of Yueqing County. Who are you?"
"The one lying underneath just now is I, Shen Qilang from Jiangdu?"
Hearing this, the man took a deep breath, but still had a serious face and shouted: "The internal guards are on an errand, and no one else is allowed to come near!"
"Get closer five steps and add weapons to your body!"
Ying Zhao was startled by these words. He looked up at the man in front of him and mustered up the courage to say, "I want to see your waistband!"
Without saying a word, the man took out his inner guard sign from his pocket, threw it to Ying Zhao, and said coldly: "County Magistrate Ying, there is a big case of murdering an imperial envoy here. If you don't get it right, you will be in trouble." It’s a disaster! Your local government is only responsible for putting out fires, and you don’t have to worry about other things!”
Ying Zhao secretly gritted his teeth, but was still a little unwilling to do so, and asked again: "Who are you, who is lying on the ground? Is Shen Qilang lying on the ground? I am from the same hometown as him, and we are also the same year. Anyway, I have to ask, Otherwise, I would really feel uneasy!”
"Please also ask a few superiors to tell Ying whether he is dead or alive..."
The guard looked at Ying Zhao with wide eyes: "You official, why are you so noisy! If you don't retreat, I will charge you with obstructing official business!"
At this time, Shen Yi's situation must be kept strictly confidential.
Whether he is alive or dead cannot be told.
After all, there might be hidden enemies in Yueqing City. If the enemies knew that Shen Yi was not dead, they might take advantage of this opportunity and try their best to make up for it!
Ying Zhao was yelled twice by the inner guards, but there was really nothing he could do. He glanced at the two people surrounded by the inner guards from a distance, let out a long sigh, and began to direct the firefighting.
The fire was still spreading, and the county government officials began to search every room in Shen Yi's residence. It didn't take long for the two government officials to carry Jiang Sheng, who had slept like a dead pig, to Ying Zhao and reported the report. : "The county magistrate, what I found in a room seems to be Mr. Shen's entourage."
Ying Zhao glanced at Jiang Sheng who had fallen asleep and was even snoring, frowned and said: "There is a fire in the house, how can he still sleep so soundly? Get a basin of water, pour him awake, and ask him about the situation!"
Ying Zhao didn't have much experience in politics, but his subordinates were all working at the bottom, so they naturally knew the situation. One of the team leaders bent slightly and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this should be someone who has been tricked." Got the medicine."
County Magistrate Ying frowned and said nothing. He took a look at Shen Yi's yard, but he still felt uneasy. So he looked at the head of the county government office and said in a deep voice: "Qian Liu, you should leave the city immediately and go to the Anti-Japanese War." The Japanese army camp notified the two thousand households who were fighting against the Japanese army, saying that Chief Shen’s house had been burned down, and now he didn’t know whether he was alive or dead..."
"Let them go into the city immediately to take a look at the situation and control the situation."
The matter was urgent, and Ying Zhao was not sure whether those people were the emperor's agents.
At this time, it would be safer to invite the anti-Japanese troops into the city to control the situation.
After the squad leader responded, he immediately left the city to report the news.
At this time, the doctor from the largest medical clinic in Yueqing City was almost carried by two guards by the neck and slipped over to check the pulse of Shen Yi and Qi Dayou.
After diagnosing the pulse, the captured doctor explained the situation to the internal guards.
Shen Yi's condition was not bad. Although he was trapped in the sea of fire, Qi Dayou poured a basin of water on him before he came out, so his whole body was soaked. He was not burned, but his nose and mouth were black. Hui, he must have been choked by the smoke.
Qi Dayou's injuries were serious, with large burns on his arms and soles of his feet. In addition to resting, he also needed medicine to remove the fire poison, otherwise the root of the disease would definitely fall on his body in the future.
The doctor prescribed medicine to two people respectively based on their symptoms.
Qi Dayou just fainted because of a sudden surge of anger in his heart. After sleeping for more than half an hour, he faintly woke up. After he woke up, he didn't take into account the burns on his body, but immediately turned his head and took a look. Shen Yi was lying on the bed next to him.
Captain Qi's voice was hoarse: "Master Shen...is it okay?"
A guard on the side lowered his body and squatted beside Qi Dayou's bed. His voice was a little low: "Qi Xiaowei, don't worry, Chief Shen is fine..."
"The doctor said that he was drugged, so he hasn't woken up yet. He will wake up after the drug wears off."
As he said this, the guard's tone was choked with sobs: "Thanks to you this time!"
"otherwise…"
The inner guard still had lingering fears: "Otherwise, I will wait for the whole family..."
These people were ordered to secretly protect Shen Yi.
If it was just protection, that would be fine, but Mr. Shen now has the status of an imperial envoy. If he harms someone under the protection of the internal guards, the emperor will definitely be furious when he finds out.
When the time comes, it will definitely not be enough for these internal guards to pay for Shen Yi's life.
Most of the time you have to bring your family along with you.
"As long as it's okay..."
Qi Dayou closed his eyes and felt as if his chest was burning. He exhaled several times before he felt more comfortable and continued: "Put me..."
"Carry me out, don't let me share the same room with Chief Shen, so as not to disturb his rest..."
Qi Dayou had just finished saying this when he suddenly heard a commotion and shouting outside.
After a while, someone came in and reported to Qi Da who was lying on the bed: "Boss, the anti-Japanese army people have arrived. More than a hundred people have come. They insist on seeing Chief Shen. There is a young man who is very excited. Even us I didn’t even recognize the brand name of the inner guard, so I started to use it directly..."
Qi Dayou closed his eyes and took a deep breath again.
"The two thousand families who are fighting against the Japanese army... can come in and meet with Chief Shen, and let them leave immediately after the meeting."
"As for the other people in the anti-Japanese army..."
Qi Dayou's voice was hoarse: "No one is allowed to come in. If anyone breaks in by force, I will kill them directly!"
"I want to see if the Japanese anti-Japanese army dares to rebel!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinates of the inner guard bowed their heads respectfully.
