The fire in Wuyang City became uncontrollable after a strong wind. The wind blew back and forth, as if I was panicking if I didn't burn this area clean. The fire started from Caimo's shop, which was half a mile away.
It's a little bit strange that the home of an old bachelor in the local area was affected.
Someone claimed to have seen the entire fire process: "It was Caimo's shop that caught fire first. Somehow, a beam flew over and landed on the roof of the old bachelor's house. That's how it turned out today."
"Then how come these two families were burned down and their neighbors were all safe?"
"Is there anything strange about this? This fire was set by God, and God has to ask for your consent to set the fire. Where should be burned and where shouldn't be burned? God has the final say!"
"oh……!"
Shamasayi sat in the hall with a sad face, and there was no slave around him. Wumi knelt on the ground. There were no windows in the hall, and there were not many rays of sunlight coming in early in the morning.
"You mean you were already like that when you arrived yesterday? Not a single person alive?"
"There were thirty-seven people in total, including the four who died at the old bachelor's house. There was no one alive. Most of them were killed first and then burned in the fire!"
"It's such a short journey. From setting fire to you, it only takes a cup of tea. There are thirty-seven people and ten guards from Caimo. Who has such power? Don't you have any clues?"
"Well……"
"Tell me! Who is it? It doesn't matter if the others are dead. Only the housekeeper and Zaimo are dead, so we have to get to the bottom of it!"
"City Lord, I think this matter is very strange. Why not find Mr. Su? Maybe he can find out who did it."
Shamashayi's eyes lit up and he sighed helplessly: "Do I dare to find him? Forget it, don't make this matter public, let's take a look first. The housekeeper and Caimo have betrayed us by getting together. Death is not enough.
Unfortunately, Cai Mo’s death is just a bit troublesome.”
Su Ren lay on the couch and fell asleep. He worked hard until midnight last night. Seeing that Wumi and his people had arrived, he hurriedly left Caimo's shop. The shop had been breached, and all those who resisted were killed by Huo Jin and others.
Gou Tianming killed them all with one blow, and locked the others into a room without caring about anything. Once the fire was lit, they would never come out again.
At three o'clock in the morning, Hawking came several times. Seeing that Su Ren was still sleeping, he quietly left. Until the fourth time, he deliberately stepped heavily and kept coughing and farting in the house.
Su Ren turned over impatiently: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Are you tired of the back and forth?"
"Hehe! Brother, I just went to those two places and they were all dead. No one was alive. Thirty-seven people were killed in that fire, and no one knew it was us!"
Su Ren waved his hand: "I understand, let me sleep a little longer!"
Huo Jin did not leave, and continued: "However, I saw that Wumi's face was not good-looking. I don't know if he thought of something. He left those soldiers and went to the city lord's mansion alone. Do you want him too..."
Su Ren was very irritable. He got up and hit Hawking on the back of the head: "Go away, you are addicted to killing. If you dare to come in again, I will kill you first!" After saying that, he touched his sword.
Hawking hurriedly ran out: "If you don't want to kill me, I won't kill you. Why are you so angry?"
A shoe flew out of the door and went straight to Hawking's head.
The Wuyang branch was not affected by what happened yesterday. It was still doing what it was supposed to do, and was busy shipping and purchasing goods. However, all the shopkeepers who came today had changed people. They were all wearing sackcloth and mourning, and they were still very young.
, some of them were only half-grown children. While talking about business with these people, Huo Laosi offered words of comfort and heartache, showing him to be a warm-hearted big brother.
Gou Tianming waited for those people to go away, and then pointed his thumb at Huo Laosi: "Fourth brother, you are awesome. I can't wait to kill them again when I see them. You can still ask for help, are you better than me?"
"Hey! They are all poor people. It's not worth risking your life for a little money!" Huo Laosi felt a little regretful. The shopkeepers of these shops used to be friends with him, but suddenly they all disappeared overnight. How can people not be sad?
He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and turned around: "Old Zhang, when the wood shop delivers the wood, the price will be lowered. At this time, they have no intention of doing business, so we have to be more ruthless!"
Gou Tianming was completely speechless. The first sentence he said was compassionate, but the next sentence turned into taking advantage of the situation. He looked at Huo Laosi quietly for a long time, feeling that he was still not good enough. After hanging out with Mr. for so long, he had this unique skill of changing his face.
Didn't learn anything at all.
The corner of Hawking's mouth was so cracked that he ran out of the backyard, holding a shoe in his hand. Gou Tianming thought the shoe looked familiar: "Why did you take out Mr.'s shoe? Mr. will be gone soon after you can't find him!"
"Who asked him to hit me? Look, there is a shoe mark on my face!"
Only then did Gou Tianming notice that the shoe prints on Hawking's forehead were obvious, and he chuckled: "Did you disturb my husband's sleep? I just came back in the middle of the night yesterday, and I just fell asleep. Who asked you to provoke me? Didn't you see that we are all here?"
Front yard?”
"Who provoked me? I just told him about the results of last night, and he threw his shoes at me. It was so unkind." Hawking Bijing was young and behaved childishly: "Huh! Let him have no shoes to wear."
Gou Tianming looked at Hawking and just smiled and said nothing. Hawking was confused: "What? You have nothing to say?"
Gou Tianming shook his head and pointed behind Hawking. Before Hawking could turn around, he received another slap on the head. Huo Laosi stared at him and cursed: "You son of a bitch, who asked you to take Brother Ren's shoes?"
If you come out, put it back as soon as possible. If I don't take care of you for a day, your tail will go up to the sky?"
Hawking ran away, and Huo Laosi took off his shoes and carried them, and then chased him. The father and son staged a chase in the yard of the branch. Gou Tianming and the busy clerks laughed and watched the fun.
Su Ren came out of the backyard with one bare foot. Huo Jin hid behind Su Ren with a whoosh, and Huo Laosi could no longer hit him with his raised hand.
After stretching and moving his body, Su Ren looked at the shoes held up by Huo Laosi and asked: "Who took my shoes? He only took one. What this thief did was so unprofessional!
"
Huo Laosi was still angry and stared at Hawking behind Su Ren. Huo Jin quickly bent down to put on Su Ren's shoes. Su Ren obviously hadn't woken up and his head hadn't recovered yet: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?
?follow me?"
Seeing that he couldn't fight anymore, Huo Laosi turned around and walked away, leaving behind Su Ren who was confused and Huo Jin who was laughing secretly.
After putting on his shoes, Su Ren sat on a chair under the tree, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp. Hawking brought the porridge and bread up with a hint of eye.
"Brother! If you have nothing to do this afternoon, let's go to the city lord's mansion and hang out, right?"
"What are you doing there?"
"Go and see what that stinky woman looks like!"
"What's so good about her? Although she's pretty, she's not my type, and that kind of bus is not my cup of tea!"
"Bus? What do you mean?"
Su Ren was stunned for a moment, knowing that he had said too much: "Young children, stop asking!"
Huo Jin moved towards Su Ren: "Brother, do you think that stinky woman knows that we did what happened last night?"
Su Ren looked at Hawking in confusion: "What did we do last night? I only remember that we went to bed as soon as it got dark and didn't go anywhere? What? You went out last night?"
"Last night! Last night we..."
Su Ren smoothly stuffed the dough cake into Hawking's mouth and glared at Hawking: "We are law-abiding merchants. Wuyang people are in charge of Wuyang's affairs. We just need to do our own thing well. Others should not be asked whether they should be involved or not."
I don’t know anything about it, just remember it!”
"Oh!" Hawking nodded with the dough in his mouth. His eyes were full of disappointment.
Shamashayi was writing a letter, specifically a memorial to King Yelang. Although Caimo was a businessman, everyone knew that he represented King Yelang. Caimo was burned to death in Wuyang.
The Lord of Yang City has the responsibility to report the whole matter to King Yelang.
As soon as she got to the beginning of the memorial, she couldn't go on. There must be a limit to telling lies without conscience. This kind of excuse was purely made up. If you couldn't even deceive yourself, how could you deceive the Yelang King? Angry
Throwing down his pen, he sat down angrily. He unconsciously looked back at the spot where the housekeeper usually stood, and then he remembered that his housekeeper also died in the fire.
A slave bowed his head and came in with a tea tray in his hand. He respectfully placed the tea in front of Shamasayi and slowly stepped back.
Shamasayi was irritated. He glanced at the slave and felt unfamiliar: "Stop, who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The slave hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The little Suana, I got married to the city lord's maid Ali Zhuo a few days ago and became the city lord's slave. I used to be the city lord's messenger. It was the housekeeper who transferred me to the hall to serve the city lord.
of!"
"Oh, are you the messenger who escaped from the black pine forest?"
"As for the city lord, yes, the villain is Suana, the messenger who escaped from the black pine forest."
Shamashayi smiled slightly: "Alizhuo is right. All the five hundred garrison troops died in the battle, and you are the only one who escaped death. You are considered a brave man. The housekeeper is dead. From today on, you will be me."
The butler?"
Suana was stunned. Shamashay said: "Don't want to?"
"No, no, no, I thank the city lord!"
"Okay! Now that you are my housekeeper, I would like to ask the housekeeper what you think about Zemo's death?"
The new housekeeper Suana had never experienced such a thing before, and did not say anything for a long time. Just when Shamashay felt that his joke was a bit big, Suana suddenly said: "This matter has nothing to do with Mr. Su."
It has nothing to do with it. It was caused by fire from heaven. It is God’s will and no one can do anything about it!"
"You really think so?"
"No matter what the villain thinks, as long as it is beneficial to me, Wu Yang!"
"Hahaha, well said!" When Shamashay looked at Suana again, there was some appreciation in her eyes. (To be continued)
