"It's on fire, sir, it's on fire, quickly... let everyone, everyone escape from the mansion!"
The adjutant, known as Lao Hu, looked extremely anxious, and he repeatedly advised. "If we don't leave the house, if the fire burns to the front yard, then... we, all of us in the Zhen Mansion will be burned."
died."
He deliberately looked nervous...
Because the official seal of "Shangcai Ling" was lost, Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, specially ordered the entire mansion to be sealed off. The servants didn't know the specific reason, but what they did know was that... under the fire, the people in the Zhen mansion were trapped.
Among them, you can't escape.
call…
But Zhen Yi raised his eyebrows, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if paying special attention to Lao Hu, and then waved his hand.
"No, we can't leave!"
With firm words, Zhen Yi ordered the subordinates and adjutants beside her very calmly. "You are divided into two waves. One wave will quickly lead people to put out the fire, and the other wave will rescue the files in the backyard warehouse... These are all important documents.
There is a mistake…”
Speaking of which, bang bang bang... Zhen Yi couldn't help but slap his palms on the documents, and he planned to go to the backyard to direct the fire fighting in person.
But suddenly, I seemed to think of something...
"Lao Hu, don't leave, come here." Zhen Yi looked serious. He waved to Lao Hu. While waving, he handed a wooden box wrapped in red silk into Lao Hu's hand.
Immediately, Zhen Yi's tone became heavier. "Old Hu, take this. I tell you, this is my official seal. You must keep it! If you lose it, I will sue you to Ye."
Go to the city magistrate and ask him to punish you severely! Remember, even if your head falls off, this seal cannot be lost!"
After saying this, Zhen Yi walked out of the main hall without stopping and hurried to the backyard to put out the fire.
only…
He didn't notice that as soon as he said these words, Lao Hu's hands were trembling, and he looked like he was facing a formidable enemy...
This this…
No one knows better than him, how can there be any seal and ribbon of "Shang Cai Ling" in this wooden box wrapped in red silk?
The real seal had been stolen by him long ago...
But...but in the face of the current situation, if the fire recedes and the wooden box is opened and there is nothing inside, then...then wouldn't the crime of discarding the "Shang Cai Ling" seal and ribbon be passed on to him?
By the time…
Even though he had a judge as his backer, he could not defend himself in front of everyone.
According to Shen Pei's acting style, he will definitely be regarded as an abandoned son. In this case... he... he will be completely cold.
The more he thought about it, the more chilled he became. Lao Hu's entire face was as white as a sheet of fright. Originally, it was just his hands that were trembling. But now, every muscle in his body was trembling... He was panicking, he was so panicked!
"no…"
A trembling voice came from Lao Hu's mouth. Lao Hu wiped his sweat and let out a long breath. "I can't carry this pot!"
While he was talking, he quickly walked out of the main hall with the wooden box in his arms. He was going to get the real seal and put it back... This was a helpless move, but now his situation was also extremely helpless!
…
"Master Guo, Master Guo..."
In front of a high platform in the Zhen Mansion, Zhen Yi quickly ran over. Guo Jia was here, as were Zhen Yao and the three daughters of the Zhen family. They all witnessed the fire-fighting activities in the Zhen Mansion.
But at this moment, Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, came first.
"Dad, why are you in such a hurry?" the second daughter Zhentuo asked first...
"Alas..." Zhen Yi sighed, You Zi was a little panicked, and sighed with emotion. "It almost ruined something big..."
"What's going on?" Guo Jia asked anxiously, still thinking that things had changed.
"This fire..." Zhen Yi exhaled, patting her chest and trying to calm down, while replying. "This fire is so intense, it almost set a row of houses in my backyard on fire."
this…
Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and asked doubtfully, "Why don't you tell Uncle Zhen to set up a small-scale fire, just to show off... Why is the fire so big?"
"This..." Zhen Yi let out another long sigh, "I was thinking that if the acting is not true, the bait will not take the bait! Besides... fire and water are ruthless, who can control the degree! I was not too hasty at first to put out the fire.
Yes, later on, even me, an old man, took action personally... and then the fire was brought under control."
Zhen Yi's face was a bit complicated, like she was smiling, but also like she was smiling bitterly, and she seemed to be particularly frightened.
At this point, Zhen Yi changed the subject. "Mr. Guo, the whole play has been performed, so...it's time for Lao Hu to take the bait, right?"
Hearing this, Guo Jia looked quietly towards the main hall.
At this moment, Lao Hu, who had just gone out, was sneaking back into the main hall.
Seeing this scene, Guo Jia laughed "haha", and at the same time, his words came out one after another. "Uncle Zhen, it's time to return the property to its original owner! Uncle Zhen, go and collect your seal ribbon!"
While talking, hahaha... Guo Jia laughed again, as if he had a well-thought-out plan.
Now... Zhen Yi couldn't bear it anymore. He hurried towards the main hall, followed by Zhen Yao and the three daughters of the Zhen family. Everyone wanted to know who "went to Cai Ling" after this fire.
Can the seal and ribbon really be recovered?
…
Zhen Mansion, in the main hall.
Even though Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, was still very panicked in front of Guo Jia just now, when he entered the main hall, he turned back into the mature and majestic businessman and bureaucrat!
"You guys...have done a great job in putting out the fire this time."
Zhen Yi stretched out her hand to show off, while not forgetting to take out several generations of coins and throw them at them one by one.
"The files didn't burn at all, and not a few rooms were burned down. It's a blessing among the misfortunes! Okay... Each of you will record your merits once, and you'll all get paid to go drinking! Our Zhen Mansion has lifted the ban..."
"Thank you Cai Ling!"
These subordinate officials and servants thanked each other and left eagerly one by one.
Zhen Yi greeted again. "Lao Hu, Lao Hu..."
"Here he is, he's there!" As he spoke, Lao Hu rushed over, holding the wooden box wrapped in red silk in his hands!
"Haha, Lao Hu, it's time to return the seal and ribbon, right?" Zhen Yi said something meaningful...
Behind him, Zhen Yao and the Zhen sisters suddenly became energetic and stared straight at the wooden box.
"That's natural, that's natural!" Lao Hu hurriedly handed the box back to Zhen Yi, not forgetting to remind him. "Master, after checking it..."
"Very good!" Zhen Yi smiled slightly, then quickly untied the red silk, and quickly opened the box. The moment the box was unfolded, the seal and ribbon of "Shang Cai Ling" appeared in front of him. Sure enough, it was lost and recovered.
!
Zhen Yi carefully checked it, then nodded again, and slowly glanced at Lao Hu. "Old Hu, you did a good job in this matter!"
It seems that Lao Hu has already prepared a set of rhetoric.
"Sir... I am not young anymore. My parents are very old. I want to resign and go back to my hometown to fulfill my filial piety to my parents... Please allow me to resign!"
"Filial piety is commendable!" Zhen Yi nodded. He took out a large bag of gold from his arms and handed it to Lao Hu. "Old Hu, you have been following me for many years, and I don't want to see you in trouble. This
Take the gold with you, take your parents far away, go to a place where no one can find you, and make a good home!"
"Thank...Thank you, Sir." Old Hu nodded heavily, with tears in his eyes. He immediately put away the gold bag and left without stopping.
At this time, Zhen Yi's eyes turned back to the official seal, and finally a rare smile appeared on her lips.
He murmured in his mouth.
"This Guo Fengxiao is amazing..."
Likewise, Zhen Yao, who was standing nearby, blinked...
"Father, I'm afraid you don't know yet!" Zhen Yao explained. "The person who arranged for Guo Fengxiao to come to our Zhen family is a young master named Yi Xiaotian. He is the owner of the famous Youjian Villa in Xudu City.
Even Guo Fengxiao was defeated by him! If it weren't for him, how would Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao come to help us?"
Speaking of this, Zhen Yao seemed to suddenly think of something. "By the way, my little sister Zhen Luo is following him!"
Hmm...Zhen Luo is also following Yi Xiaotian? Is that right?
Zhen Yi narrowed her eyes slightly, she was more talented than Guo Fengxiao, a talented man from Yingchuan. He could even arrange for Guo Jia to rescue their Zhen family. This young man was very capable!
Luo Er took the initiative to find a good marriage this time!
Thinking of this, hahaha... Zhen Yi burst out laughing.
