Zhao Xuan ordered the government servant who was watching at the door: "Take the body inside to the Sixth Disease Hospital, and I will check it myself later."
The two government officials couldn't help but swallowed. They thought that Inspector Zhao re-activated the torture chamber just to deter criminals, but they didn't expect that they actually killed people...
"Understood!" Zhao Xuan inadvertently greatly inspired her subordinates' work enthusiasm.
"Master Zhao!" Zhou Shi chased after him, "Shall we go to the fire scene?"
"No need. I have already sent out all the Jiangdu Yamen, now..."
When the two of them walked to the door of the Yamen, Zhou Shi saw that the night in Jiangdu had returned to calm, and there was no light at all.
……
"Come on, one, two, three..."
The guys shouted slogans and used force at the same time to pull out another beam from the ruins.
"Well, this one is relatively complete and should still be usable." Agui wiped his sweat, threw away the rope in his hand, and said.
Under the prompt decision of Shopkeeper Meng, the fire in Yueqing Building was quickly extinguished. He also joined the fire-fighting team, and together with the guys from Fengde Building and the Yamen fire brigade, they extinguished the fire in the entire street. p>
Afterwards, Agui enthusiastically led his men to clear out a few intact logs from the ruins of Yueqing Building, saving a lot of money for the reconstruction of Yueqing Building.
"Guys, I can't thank you enough for your kindness!" Meng Xingyuan said excitedly, "If it weren't for you, I would be on the streets begging for food tomorrow!"
Agui smiled and said: "Why does Shopkeeper Meng need to meet outsiders? My shopkeeper often says that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and fellow villagers are not as good as peers. Only by helping each other can we protect the industry."
Meng Xingyuan nodded and lamented that Shopkeeper Zhou had a great structure and inspired him deeply.
"Now that the fire has been put out, we will evacuate first." Agui said goodbye to Meng Xingyuan.
"Everyone, when I finish counting the losses, I will definitely come and say thank you!"
The two groups of people separated at the intersection, went back to the Yamen to resume their duties, and walked towards Fengde Building.
"Mr. Agui!" Xiong Quan ran to the head of the team and called out to Agui who was leading the team, "Where is shopkeeper Zhou? I didn't see him all the way!"
After the zombies came to attack last night, Fengde Building was in chaos. After the zombies were eliminated, everyone was busy going out to put out the fire, and there was no time to count the number of people.
It wasn't until they entered the fire scene that they discovered that the shopkeeper hadn't followed them, but at that time they couldn't have gotten away to look for him.
"Yeah..." Agui, who consciously took on the task of commanding because the shopkeeper was absent, was also puzzled, "There was quite a commotion last night. Could it be that the shopkeeper wasn't in the room?"
Chen Dayou said bluntly: "Could it be that he went out to fool around?"
Since the last time the shopkeeper returned to Fengde Building disheveled at noon, rumors have spread among the guests of Fengde Building that shopkeeper Zhou spent the night hanging out, raising a little wife, and emptying his wallet for a fleshy woman.
Being kicked out, there are many tricks.
Agui sneered at this, not to mention shopkeeper Zhou's character won his trust, but it was impossible to talk about women alone. With Zhou Shi's career, income, and image, it is not difficult to find a wife, but he himself is too
He is too old-fashioned and is much more interested in abacus than women. It can be said that he is stoic.
But others are not so protective. After all, it is most interesting to chew on the tongues of honest people, so these rumors are quite popular, not only among the guests, but also among the neighbors and the masters and clerks of Fengde House. Agui was very helpless about this. The most he could do was ask the employees of Fengde Building not to discuss the matter in front of him, but how could he control the guests? The most he could do was discuss shopkeeper Zhou's thirteenth concubine and his nineteenth lover with the guests.
When there are conflicts between people, go up and offer them tea and pour cold water on them.
To his surprise, Master Xiong also spoke up to defend Zhou Shi: "Mr. Agui is right, Master Zhou... Shopkeeper Zhou is a decent person, how could he be contaminated by those things?"
The other two martial arts masters also expressed their support fiercely: "Yes, Shopkeeper Zhou is not that kind of person!"
"Shopkeeper Zhou is a perfect person, we can all testify to that!"
The three martial arts masters did not know much about this idiom, but it was rumored in the martial arts that masters of internal strength should cultivate Yuanyang and be a boy for the rest of their lives. Based on this, they firmly supported Zhou Shi's innocence.
Their shocking words received shocked looks from Agui and Chen Dayou, and their trust in the shopkeeper was shaken.
Chen Dayou hurriedly defended himself: "I don't believe those rumors either. It's just that the boss of the shop is getting older and is always dragging his feet to have a family. It's inevitable that he will be gossiped about."
Agui sighed: "Why, do you still want to be a matchmaker?"
"Hey, don't say anything." Chen Dayou said enthusiastically, "I have a sister in the country, how about..."
"Save it, your sister is enough to be the shopkeeper's mother..."
A few people walked and chatted all the way, and soon arrived at the entrance of Fengde Building.
"I'm going to see if the shopkeeper is in the room." With the idea of "confirming whether the shopkeeper's image in his mind is correct", Agui wanted to walk to the backyard.
……
When Zhou Shi returned to Fengde Building, he was surprised to find that the place was already empty.
"Going out to put out the fire? Well, it seems that the usual training has worked."
As a modern person, he has a very high awareness of fire prevention and has the guys conduct fire drills every month. The guys are angry and dare not speak out about this, but after tonight, they will definitely change their views.
What he is worried about now is that when the fire broke out in Jiangdu, it was already after the third watch, which was the business hours of Yinhun Inn!
How is the ghost in the inn doing? Is Mr. Mo injured?
When he saw that there were no traces of fire on the exterior of Fengde Building, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly returned to his room, where he found Mr. Mo sitting on the kang smoking.
"Mr. Mo, last night..."
The two exchanged information. It turned out that there was a walking corpse knocking on the door while the inn was open last night! Mr. Mo urgently expelled the ghost and was about to deal with the walking corpse when he met the waiter who opened the door. He could only hide at the counter.
Let the martial arts masters deal with the walking dead.
The zombies actually chased me to Fengde Tower. It seems that the poison master wants to surround me from both sides...
Zhou Shi talked about a big battle with the Poison Master, and the battle letter was finally issued through the sound transmission Gu.
"Well, so the other side of the sound transmission Gu doesn't know your details?" Mr. Mo asked after listening.
"Yes. It seems that although the demons and humans help each other, they still act separately. The poison master hated me for destroying his eyes, so he set a trap for me to take the bait, but he did not notify his accomplices, otherwise he would not be alone.
I can easily subdue him if he goes deep. And the sound transmission Gu is probably present in all demons. Whoever is killed by the enemy will use the Gu on him to declare a challenge."
The poison master is dead, and Zhou Shi is temporarily out of danger, so he dares to return to Fengde Tower.
"This guess is very reasonable." Mr. Mo expressed his approval. "It seems that opening an inn in Fengde Building is the right decision. If we start a new business, we will play into the poisonous master's plan."
The two discussed the contents of the gauntlet again, but to no avail. Mr. Mo went back to the secret room to rest first, while Zhou Shi sat on the kang and took out the inner elixir of Lady Xu.
"Empress?"
After calling a few times, a fairy-like woman appeared in front of him, dressed in spotless plain clothes and with long white hair hanging down to her ankles.
After several days of offering incense, Lady Xu’s condition seemed to have improved a lot, and she no longer looked like a ghost.
The snow-white eyelashes opened, revealing a pair of ethereal eyes that see through the world.
"What's the matter?"
"Please do me a favor."
Zhou Shi told about the poisonous insects planted in his body. Lady Xu did not speak, but moved her lips slightly and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, which enveloped his body.
He only felt refreshed, then suddenly vomited and spit out a mouthful of dirty blood.
Among the blood clots, an inch-long annelid twisted a few times, then turned into smoke and disappeared before our eyes.
"Thank you very much for your help!"
Lady Xu did not respond, but asked: "Why was there so much noise around last night?"
"So you can feel it. There was a fire in Jiangdu last night."
This Jiang Shen showed a rare emotional change, although it was very weak: "Is it serious? What are the casualties?"
"Don't worry, the fire has been put out."
Empress Xu sighed: "It's a pity that I am powerless at the moment. If I can recover some of my magic power, I can rain rain to extinguish the fire..."
Before he finished speaking, the door behind Zhou Shi was gently pushed open.
"Shopkeeper, are you..."
Agui, who wanted to prove that the shopkeeper did not mess with women, opened the door anxiously and saw a woman who looked like a fairy standing next to Zhou Shi in the room.
Under the glare of Agui's eyes that were about to fall off, Zhou Shi shrugged his shoulders, pulled out a yellow beam pillow from the iron abacus, and slapped Agui on the face.
