On the second floor of the restaurant, the two elders Sang Mu and Hanuo were still sitting on the Diaoyutai, drinking tea and chatting.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard at the bottom of the stairs, and then a young Youlong tribesman came up the stairs.
The young tribesman came to the table of the two elders, bowed respectfully, and said hello: "Elder Sang Mu, Elder Hanuo!"
"Is there something wrong?" Sang Mu asked.
The young tribesman said: "Go back to the two elders, there was a fire in the county government office just now."
Sang Mu looked at Hanuo and said: "It seems that your people have sneaked in..."
The young tribesman was slightly startled and thought that the fire was caused by Elder Hanuo's people.
"By the way, do you know where the fire broke out?" Sang Mu asked again.
The young tribesman immediately said: "It seems that there was a fire somewhere near the kitchen. I'm not sure exactly..."
"Well..." Sang Mu nodded slowly and continued to ask: "Then have all the things I asked you done?"
The young tribesman nodded quickly: "It's all done! Our people have already greeted everyone around the county government. No matter how big the noise is, they won't come out!"
"Very good!" Sang Mu nodded with satisfaction and said to the young tribesman: "Listen carefully, there will be a fire in the county government office soon. As soon as there is any movement inside, you will take action immediately! Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The young tribesman accepted the order and left.
When they went downstairs, Sang Mu asked: "Hanuo, why did you do it when you set off the second fire? Aren't you afraid that your people won't be able to hide and will be caught by them?"
"Sang Mu, you are worrying too much! Lado's nickname is Rat Thief. He is quick and good at hiding. It is impossible for the people in the county government to discover him!" Hanuo was very confident.

Within the county government office.
Chai Yan has already inspected all the walls inside the county government office, and even the rat holes the size of his fist have been blocked up tightly.
Just when Chai Yan was feeling a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest, there was suddenly a fire in the inner courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, he heard someone shouting "The water has escaped". Chai Yan was startled and hurriedly ran towards the inner courtyard at full speed.
When he arrived outside the inner courtyard, Chai Yan happened to see Yuan guarding Situ Jing's master and servant as they headed outside, while some people were rushing inside carrying buckets of water.
Chai Yan hurried over, grabbed Yuan and asked, "Madam, Miss Situ, are you okay?"
Yuan shook his head and said, "It's okay."
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan also shook their heads and said nothing was wrong, but there was a sudden fire behind them and they were somewhat frightened.
"Madam, where is the fire?" Chai Yan asked, holding Yuan's hand.
Yuan Yuan replied: "It's a utility room next to the back garden. I don't know why it suddenly caught fire. Fortunately, Miss Situ hasn't fallen asleep yet, otherwise she would be in a panic!"
Chai Yan frowned: "Why is it the utility room again?"
"Again?" Yuanyuan looked at him strangely.
Situ Jing asked: "Master Chai, was it also the utility room that caught fire earlier?"
"Yes!" Chai Yan said: "The fire was in a utility room near the kitchen. It also caught fire for no reason. It was very strange..."
After saying this, Yuan Yuan and Situ Jing both looked at Chai Yan in surprise.
Chai Yan looked solemn, beckoned the three women to come closer to him, and then whispered: "Calm down and listen to me. I just found a dog hole under the wall behind the kitchen, and there are still some fresh footprints nearby. I'm sure
Someone got in through the dog hole...I dare to say that it was that person who set the two fires!"
"this......."
"Miss, what should I do?"
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan were startled, and their expressions suddenly changed.
"Don't worry, you will be fine as long as we are here!" Yuan Yuan gently patted Situ Jing's arm to comfort her.
Then he turned to Chai Yan and asked: "What should we do now?"
Chai Yan thought for a while and felt that it was inconvenient to stay in the inner courtyard, so he said: "Miss Situ, let's go to the lobby first. There are many people nearby, so it's easier to take care of us!"
Situ Jing believed in Chai Yan's judgment and immediately nodded: "Okay!"
So, the five of them rushed to the county government hall together.
As soon as they arrived on the verandah between the second hall and the third hall, Situ Zhou met them.
"Dad!" "Master!"
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan immediately shouted.
"Jing'er!" Situ Zhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his daughter was safe and sound.
Today, Situ Zhou was like a top, looking forward and backward, running around, he was so busy.
Just as Situ Zhou wanted to express his gratitude to Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan, Chai Yan stopped him and said seriously: "Master Situ, there is a thief in the house..."
"A burglar?" Situ Zhou didn't react.
"Talking as we walk..." After saying that, Chai Yan urged everyone to rush to the county jail.
Along the way, Chai Yan explained to Situ Zhou the discovery of the dog cave in concise and clear language.
Situ Zhou immediately volunteered and said: "Sir Chai, please protect them. I will lead people to search everywhere now, and I will definitely catch the arsonist!"
"No!" Chai Yan disagreed with this. He looked at Situ Zhou and said patiently: "Master Situ, this is probably a conspiracy of the other party. They are looking for people to set fire everywhere to create chaos and trouble for us, and then take advantage of it.
Take action, we can’t fall into the trap!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a government official ran towards him, and the official looked very panicked.
"Sir! Oh no, sir, they are knocking on the door!" the yamen officer shouted when he saw Situ Zhou and Chai Yan.
Situ Zhou was suddenly startled: "What did you say?"
Everyone listened carefully and saw that there was indeed a knocking sound from the direction of the county government gate.
Situ Zhou could no longer remain calm and shouted to the officer: "Go in quickly, call everyone back, and be sure to guard the door!"
The yamen servant quickly agreed and ran in to call for help.
Chai Yan thought that it was indeed true. The other party sent people to sneak in and set fire to create chaos and trouble, and then stormed the county government gate at the same time. It must be difficult for him to take care of himself!
When Chai Yan and Situ Zhou arrived at the open space outside the lobby, the county government gate directly in front was making a "boom, boom, boom" banging sound.
At this time, there were about a dozen government officials behind the door, and they were working together to hold up the door.
"Everyone, hold on!" Situ Zhou was so anxious that he shouted and rushed over.
"Daddy, be careful!" "Master, be careful!"
Situ Jing and Xiao Huan unanimously expressed concern.
Seeing Situ Zhou join the team at the top of the door, Yuan Yuan also spoke: "Ms. sir, let's go and help too!"
Listening to the sound of banging on the door, Yuan Yuan couldn't help but become anxious.
"good!"
Just as Chai Yan responded, a frightened man rushed out of the darkness next to him. After staggering forward a few times, he fell at Situ Jing's feet, frightening Situ Jing greatly.
When Chai Yan saw that the man was wearing a jailer's clothes, he hurriedly asked: "What happened?"
The handyman lay on the ground, raised his head and said with a panicked expression: "Over there, over there...beating over there...beating, beating...it's starting...
....”
Chai Yan couldn't help but sneer in his heart, secretly saying that it was just as he expected, everything that happened here was paving the way for the prison robbery!
