It is too late for Zhou Yifu to learn martial arts at this age, but it would be great to be able to learn light kung fu like she did back then and become stronger than ordinary people.
The days passed by suddenly.
On this day, Mu Yunhan was looking at the new recipes to be served in the autumn at the Yaoshantang Restaurant. Suddenly he heard someone in the private room next door talking: "Have you heard? There were countless casualties in the fire in Pucheng last night."
Another person said: "How come you haven't heard about it? It happened to be a strong wind last night, and it was impossible to put out the fire. I heard that half of the sky was burning red."
Another person asked: "Do you know why the fire started?"
His companion said: "I heard that it was started by a wine shop. The wine in this shop is particularly pure and strong..."
The voice behind him suddenly dropped and was no longer audible.
Mu Yunhan pondered for a moment and asked Xiaomi: "Is there any news from Pucheng?"
Xiaomi said: "No, I will ask you now."
Mu Yunhan had a very bad premonition.
Pucheng is not far from the capital and is the only way in and out of the capital.
In her early years, Meng Jia opened a drug store and a liquor store there. After she took over, she expanded the business scale to cater to passing merchants.
The wine shop's warehouse there is the largest. If something goes wrong, it goes without saying that the losses will be heavy. The most feared thing is that it will affect the neighbors.
Not long after Xiaomi left, he and Mu Li hurried over.
Mu Li handed over a letter: "Madam, something happened at the wine shop in Pucheng."
But it was written by the chief manager from Pu Cheng, and it was indeed similar to the rumors that Mu Yunhan had heard just now.
The fire started from the Yaoshantang Liquor Shop. The wine was too strong and the fire was so intense. Due to the strong wind, the entire street was burned down.
Because it was late at night, many families were unable to escape. According to current information, the total number of people burned to death and burned reached more than a hundred.
Hundreds of people were killed and injured, this is probably the most serious incident in recent years... Mu Yunhan sighed deeply.
Regardless of whether the conservatives did this or not, Yaoshentang cannot escape the blame this time.
If it is not done well, the closure will be light.
Mu Li's face was pale: "Madam, this servant will pack up your things and go over to deal with them first."
Mu Yunhan said: "I'll go with you."
The situation was urgent and there was no time to go home and pack, so she asked Da Mi to go home and pack her things. She informed Gu Fenglin and asked someone to notify Bai Wuwei to dispatch supplies. She took Xiaomi and Mu Li to Pucheng first.
People passing by along the way were all talking about this incident, and they all sighed and said it was a tragedy that had not happened in a century.
Mu Yunhan didn't dare to rest, and he thought the carriage was too slow, so he simply rode on his horse and sped up.
A group of people rushed into Pucheng before dark, their faces covered with dust.
The manager of the liquor store in Pucheng was already imprisoned. The manager of the drug store, Zhu Dayou, had been busy for a day and was physically and mentally exhausted. When he suddenly saw Mu Yunhan and others, he burst into tears.
Mu Yunhan helped him up and said in a deep voice: "Take me to the scene and tell me what you know in the quickest and simplest terms."
Zhu Dayou calmed down and said while leading the way: "More than one person witnessed the fire starting from our wine shop, and the government now believes that the fire was caused by the wine shop.
So far, it is known that 61 people were burned to death, 213 people were burned, and more than 70 houses were burned down.
More than 500 people are homeless, and the property lost has not yet been calculated. Three people died in our drug store, two were seriously injured, and all those who are still alive have been detained."
