Chapter 178: For the sake of overall situation, Jiangdu Prison
The heavy stone swayed back and forth several times before slowly stopping. At this time, Zhou Shi's body had been pulled up and down until he was numb. In addition, there were Gu insects in his body, so he couldn't even scream, so he could only
Angrily, he tried to shout "help".
Little effect was achieved. At this time, the noise outside the door was still there, and it seemed that the fire was not effectively controlled.
And the room is getting hotter and hotter, the flames are approaching!
He understood why the poison master chose this place to torture him. It was right next to the fire scene, and the house itself was a wooden structure. When the fire burned through, all that would be left would be a handful of charred bones, which would not be traced.
The collision just now did not kill the poison master. He was still breathing weakly and could wake up at any time.
Zhou Shi didn't care about anything else and asked Xiao Lin to go through the wall and reveal himself on the street. This was his only way to convey his location.
But...will this be useful? Others will probably just run away when they see a female ghost...
Zhou Shi sweated like rain, and the room became like an oven, and he was a roast duck hanging in the oven.
"This way of death is quite darkly humorous for a restaurant owner..."
"Bang!"
With a crisp sound, the rotten door was kicked open.
"Who's in there! Come out!"
If it had been an hour ago, Zhou Shi would have felt weak in his legs and wanted to run away after hearing this voice.
But now, this hateful voice is so kind.
……
"Hurry up behind you, don't wait!"
"Damn it, if you don't run away from such a big fire, you still need me to help put out the fire! How much money does the yamen pay per month to let me do such a fatal job!"
"Stop mumbling, if Mr. Zhao hears it, he won't be as good as you!"
On the streets of Jiangdu, a group of government officials carried buckets and rushed to the nearest fire scene.
They are considered Jiangdu's official firefighting force, but under Wu Zhaokun's wise leadership, they don't even know where the fire pits are. After Zhao Xuan took over the Yamen, they retrained them, and they came in handy in the fire.
These government officials were all hooligans before they got this job. Although their brain capacity is limited and they can only hold knowledge of a hundred ways to exploit citizens, their physiques are passable and they can carry buckets through the streets without a problem.
.
Turning a corner, at the end of the street, the signboard of Yue Qing Building comes into view.
At this time, the owner and shopkeeper of Yue Qing Building was hugging the thigh of a waiter and crying: "You can't leave, Yue Qing Building is going to be burned down!"
"Shopkeeper, Yue Qing Building is yours, and my life is mine. I can't risk my life for your Yue Qing Building, right? Your master, please run for your life!"
Behind them, the Yueqing Building, which was being eaten away by the fire, lost its former glory. It was a scene of imminent destruction.
In fact, it is not that there is no water in the Yueqing Building. In order to build a courtyard with small bridges and flowing water, Meng Xingyuan spent a lot of money to divert water from the city's canals. However, no matter how much water there is, it will not automatically run to put out the fire. The guys immediately dispersed as soon as they saw the fire. This was
The guy Meng Xingyuan dragged was the slowest one.
What's even worse is that for the purpose of luxurious interior decoration, the entire Yueqing Building is made entirely of wood, and there is almost no turning head. This is terrible when burned.
"Don't go, don't go!" Meng Xingyuan watched in despair as the last waiter walked away on the street. He was about to cry without tears. He looked back and saw the restaurant he had been running for half his life disappearing in the light of the fire. He really wished he could walk into the fire and be with him.
Let's forget it all.
Just when he was filled with grief and anger, a team carrying large and small buckets on their shoulders arrived and rushed into the burning yard.
"Be careful, the fire inside is too strong!" A young man commanded at the end of the team.
Meng Xingyuan felt that the voice sounded familiar. Could it be...
"Agui?"
"Shopkeeper Meng?" Agui found his former boss kneeling on the ground, "Where is your guy? Put out the fire quickly!"
"My guy... ugh!" Meng Xingyuan looked at the united Fengde Building staff and could only beat his chest, "Don't go in! The Yueqing Building can't withstand such a burning, it will collapse soon!" p>
As the boss, he certainly understands the structure of Yueqing Building. When Agui heard this, he immediately shouted to the yard, asking the guys to evacuate quickly.
At this time, the Yamen team also arrived. Meng Xingyuan quickly stopped them and said:
"Go and put out the fire somewhere else. The Yueqing Building is finished!"
"No, there are private houses on both sides. If we can't control it, the fire will spread!" Agui shouted.
At this time, the east wind suddenly picked up, and the wind helped the fire spread in all directions. What Agui said was true!
"This...sigh!" Meng Xingyuan sighed, "The back kitchen is built with bricks and stones. From there, you can enter the front hall and cut down the pillars to cause the Yueqing Building to collapse. There is a small river in the yard, so the fire should be controlled.
In the courtyard."
This means that the Yueqing Building, which might have had a frame left, will completely turn into ruins.
"Okay, uh, but..." Agui was in trouble. This method required someone to rush into the fire and destroy the pillars, but if the Yueqing Building collapsed, that person would have to die in the flames.
Meng Xingyuan smiled miserably: "It doesn't matter, I'll go. I've spent half my life working on this Yueqing upstairs. If the building perishes, I will perish! Get the axe!"
"No, no, no, let's get the rope..."
……
"Uh..."
Zhou Shi moved his wrist and grimaced in pain. The pain in his ankle was even worse, which made him doubt whether his foot was secure.
"You're having a great time," Zhao Xuan said after tying up the poison master on the tiger bench.
The scene just now was indeed embarrassing. When Zhao Xuan, who was directing the fire fighting, was attracted by the ghost bride and rushed into the hut, what she saw was Zhou Shi, who was naked and doing pendulum exercises, and a strange man who was unconscious on the ground.
This is indeed a popular way to play in some flower places, but Zhou Shi definitely does not have this leisurely style.
"Who is this guy?"
"We're old acquaintances." Zhou Shi sat tiredly on a bed and talked about the poison master's experience of being ambushed by Yu Changren and Ma Jiaxiang, and hinted that he was connected to the Yichunyuan corpse hiding case.
"So, his tongue is very precious." After hearing this, Zhao Xuan began to carefully examine the various torture instruments in the room, looking eager to try.
Zhou Shi looked at the dark room carefully and said, "Is this the torture chamber?"
"The instruments of torture here are almost as old as those in Jiangdu City. For a military town, the torture chamber is far more important than the yamen." Zhao Xuan went back and forth among a bunch of whips and finally settled on one with barbs. "Also, I'm here
I saw a woman in red outside your happy little room, she seemed to be..."
"It must be the sorcery of this demon! Give him a break, I was bewitched by him, and I have to ask for the antidote formula." Zhou Shi had already searched his body, but no antidote was found.
"Don't worry, the tiger bench will only destroy his legs. If you want to kill him, it's better to use the one under your butt." Zhao Xuan said casually, "Most people can grow at least two feet taller lying on that bed." Zhou Shi stood up immediately and said, "He seems to be awake."
Zhao Xuan heard this and walked towards the tiger bench with a smile.
