"..." Ye Buhui didn't want to talk to Fang Wenshao. Hearing the killing sounds gradually stop, not only did he not feel happy, but he felt anxious. Because there were killing sounds, it meant that the fighting was still going on and the person must be alive. Now that the killing sounds had subsided, it was time to leave.
Out of life and death.
Who died? She just wanted to go out and have a look, but she was worried about holding her husband back.
Just when she couldn't hold it any longer and wanted to go out with the stick, Su Ziji's voice came from outside: "It's okay, you can come out."
"Husband!" Ye Buhui hurriedly opened the closed door and ran out.
Seeing that it was indeed Su Ziji who had returned, he checked him up and down and found that he was indeed not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are taking too many risks!" She laughed and cried, and hit Su Ziji's chest hard with her small fist.
"Ouch! Be gentle!" Su Ziji didn't feel any pain, but seeing that he had his own way, Ye Buhui's face turned pale, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he immediately covered his chest and pretended to be silent.
Ye Buhui saw him, but Guo diverted his attention and hurriedly rubbed it and asked, "Did I hurt you by beating you?"
After saying that, he continued to get angry: "You said that you are obviously not feeling well, but you are still so brave!"
"I'm fine." Su Ziji said hurriedly, turned around and said to Fang Wenshao, who had a somewhat complicated expression: "Uncle Fang Shi, officers and soldiers are coming outside, and all the gangsters have been eliminated. There is nothing wrong with the hotel. Let's get out quickly."
"Nephew Su Xian, just now..." Fang Wenshao sighed: "It's not like these useless things are hiding, nor is it possible for Nephew Su Xian to take risks himself."
The "useless thing" mentioned here refers to the long attendant brought over by Fang Wenshao.
Although the number of people is not too large, it is not too small. Fang Wenshao brought them just in case something happened. There were people around him, but only when life and death are at stake can you see who is the brave.
Normally, running errands and doing things is quite appropriate, but when faced with something like this, I, an old adjudicator, could only rely on a new adjudicator to delay time until reinforcements arrived.
What a helpless thing this is!
Su Ziji didn't think it was wrong for Fang Wenshao to protect himself at the critical moment. Not to mention that Fang Wenshao was a weak scholar and he was old, so there was no other use than to commit suicide.
Besides, this crisis, tracing back to its origin, also happened because I suddenly felt unwell and went ashore to rest.
"Uncle Fang Shi, I came ashore here because I was not feeling well. It's none of their business if I really want to be held accountable." Su Ziji said, looked at the fire, and reminded him again: "The fire has spread, let's go out first.
Bar."
"Okay!" Fang Wenshao nodded and said coldly to several followers: "What are you still wondering about?"
He waved his sleeves and followed behind him, and went out first. The servants followed him with frowning eyes.
After leaving the hotel, I realized that there were many people standing at the door. Fang Wenshao actually knew a few of them. One of them was Fang Zhen, a member of the clan, and the other was the eunuch imperial inspector Zhao who he had met once.
The bodies on the ground were being dragged away, and the young man who had gone out with Su Ziji was talking to the imperial envoy.
"We can't stay here tonight, so we should go back to the ship." Su Ziji glanced at the hotel and said helplessly.
Fang Wenshao was still frightened after what happened just now, so he naturally agreed.
At this time, because they were afraid that they would not come out to put out the fire in time, the people who came now, as well as the boss and the waiters in the hotel, all tried their best to put out the fire, but it was a little late.
The fire had already destroyed half of the hotel. Black smoke was rising, the air was filled with an unpleasant smell, and the place was in a mess. The place was considered ruined.
When the store owner encountered this disaster, he sat on the ground and cried.
Su Ziji was about to leave when he saw Qin Mao hesitate, took off a money bag and handed it to the shop owner.
"I have caused you trouble in this matter. There are more than eight taels of gold here. Although it may not be able to make up for your losses, it is still my kindness. Please accept it."
After saying that, he stuffed it into the boss's hand, turned around and left.
Although the store owner was afraid of causing trouble, he opened his wallet and saw the gold inside, hesitated for a moment, and still did not return it.
Eighty taels of gold is worth eighty taels of silver. The cost of my hotel is more than one hundred taels, and at least half of the repair costs are covered.
"It's not that he only cares about his own people." Ye Buhui was a little dissatisfied with the uninvited guests for implicating his family, especially for forcing Su Ziji to take risks. Seeing this scene, his face became a little better.
Even Fang Wenshao's somewhat ugly face showed some changes.
Su Ziji saw this and was a little unsure about young Qin Mao.
My impression of Qin Fengliang is that he once followed the prince and then betrayed the prince, but Qin Fengliang's son does not seem to be a villain.
But he couldn't help but laugh: "Many things in official circles are not right or wrong at all. They just have different positions. If you stand on the opposite side, you may not necessarily be a bad person."
"As for me, I don't want to avenge the prince because he is a virtuous man. It's all about interests."
Thinking like this, Su Ziji felt melancholy and did not go to see Qin Mao. He planned to say hello to Fang Zhen and others later to say thank you before leaving.
As for Fang Wenshao, he had already gone over to talk to Fang Zhen.
"Thank you so much for what happened just now." Among the few scholars who came to express their gratitude, Su Ziji did not appear to be special. They all bowed deeply.
The imperial envoy was okay and was still hurt when his body moved, but Fang Zhen was startled and avoided it.
Seeing Fang Wenshao's somewhat suspicious look, Fang Zhen hurriedly laughed and said to Su Ziji: "It's just a chance encounter, it's nothing."
Then he hurriedly looked at Inspector Zhao: "Master Imperial Envoy, should we go back too?"
Inspector Zhao took a helpless look and cursed in his heart for being a loser for almost showing off his identity.
However, we can also understand Fang Zhen's gaffe. Since news came from the court confirming Su Zi's bloodline as the prince, it doesn't matter if he doesn't know. Fang Zhen, who knows, will receive this gift when he sees the orphan of the prince.
Don't underestimate this matter. It's nothing at this time. In the future, if Su Ziji's identity is revealed, this gift may become a weapon for others to attack. After all, Fang Zhen already knows it at this moment, so those who don't know it will not be blamed.
"Are you going to Beijing too?"
Supervisor Zhao thought to himself that he was very kind to both Su Ziji and Fang Wenshao: "It seems that the place is still not peaceful. What did the local officials do?"
"You and I are just on our way, why don't we go on the road together?"
Then he said to Qin Mao: "You should also take the water route and follow the official ship. We want to see who dares to come after you again."
Su Ziji took a look and saw that Fang Wenshao had already happily responded after hearing this: "Thank you, Lord Imperial Envoy!"
Obviously after what happened today, Fang Wenshao would not feel at ease even if he took the waterway. Naturally, he would be very happy to be able to follow the official ship.
Su Ziji thanked him, and after listening to Inspector Zhao's words, Qin Mao stood up and kowtowed heavily: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
