Chapter 254 She Was Caught
The fire was completely extinguished three hours later, and most of the people on the street had returned except for the soldiers.

The little maid also fell asleep, wrapped up in a ball on the Jinxiu soft couch, facing the side against the wall.

Occasionally, there was a wind blowing from outside, bringing a chill, the little maid sniffed in her dream, and murmured a few incomprehensible dream words.

The bedroom is very big, separated by two other halls. In the master bedroom, Zhao Ning stood in front of the window. One window was open, and the wind came from here.

The sparks in the distance were extinguished, the soldiers were lying on the side of the road panting, there were a few steamed stuffed bun shops open across the street, and a few lanterns hung in front of the small stalls. lights.

Zhao Ning looked at the lights quietly and did not move for a long time.

After the sky gradually brightened, she looked back and raised her hand to close the window sash.

The little maid slept for a long time, and when she woke up, the sun was high.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, and woke up with a start when she realized it. Oh no, she overslept.

She hurriedly got up from the bed, and as soon as she got dressed, she saw a note on the small table in front of the soft couch, which was left by Zhao Ning, and told her not to disturb her sleep, and that she could go wherever she wanted today, at [-] o'clock in the afternoon Just come back and it will be done.

The little maid pinched the note, looked up at Zhao Ning's master bedroom, and smiled immediately.

That's great!
You can play by yourself!

………………

The ruins left by the fire were blown by the cold wind, bringing large pieces of ash from time to time.

In front of the ruins, many people gathered around to watch the excitement, and there was a sigh of relief.

There was still crying at the front, it was the guys who escaped from the restaurant crying, twelve people died in total, except shopkeeper Liu’s family of four, there were a few tenants who hadn’t escaped in time, and shopkeeper Qi and his wife who were sleeping soundly next door .

The little maid followed the crowd to watch, and many people recognized her, and they were very polite to her, with obvious compliments in their expressions.

The little maid smiled and greeted everyone with high spirits.

After watching the excitement for half a day, a team of guards with swords strode over, tore off the waste paper on the bulletin board not far away, and pasted a few new notices on it.

Everyone swarmed up and gathered around to watch the excitement.

"What's written on it?"

"Those who set up a stall and write, come over and read to Nian!"

……

The little maid picked up the waste paper on the ground, looked at the girl on it, raised her head and asked curiously: "Master, this Ali, don't you want to look for it?"

Several men were about to leave, when they heard the words, they looked back and said, "Oh, we found her."

"Ah?" The little maid was curious, "Did you find it?"

The men didn't answer, just turned around and left.

The little maid lowered her head and looked at the paper in her hand. The girl on the portrait had distinct eyebrows and eyes. She had never seen it before, so she couldn't say whether she looked like it or not, ugly or beautiful, but her demeanor was very clean.

I found it, but I don't know what will happen.

The little maid folded the paper carefully, and planned to take it back to the eldest lady for a look. After all, judging from the eldest lady's reaction that day, she had some relationship with this girl.

The little maid left with the waste paper, and a little beggar was still sitting there on the side of the street, staring blankly.

A passer-by threw a copper coin into the broken bowl, interrupting his thoughts, and he quickly said with a smile after regaining consciousness: "Thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord!"

After the other party walked away without looking back, he withdrew his gaze and smile, and looked at the bulletin board over there.

If you heard me right, I really said that Ah Li was taken away.

Not really.

Tie Zhu frowned and scratched his scalp, no matter how you look at it, Ah Li doesn't look like someone who will be caught easily.

Tie Zhu didn't know why he was so sure, maybe it was the little girl's usual smile and expression?

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so Tie Zhu put away the broken bowl and copper plate, got up and left.

………………

The beds in the barracks were uncomfortable, as was the hot water.

Song Qingtang ate something after waking up, and waited for a long time before looking forward to hot water for bathing.

After washing, he put on his middle clothes, wiped his face with a handkerchief and went out. He met many people greeting him along the way, and he nodded and responded casually.

After returning to the room, picking up the warm ginseng tea on the table, and taking a sip, he finally felt better.

I was so tired last night, my neck and arms were so sore, as if I had been fighting for three days.

Some places on the back of the hand were burned, and I had to ask for some plaster.

Looking down at the wound on the back of his hand, Song Qingtang took another sip of ginseng tea, then put it down, ready to change clothes.

"Master." Holding a sword came in at this moment, holding a pile of plasters in his hand.

Song Qingtang took one casually, opened his mouth and sniffed it under his nose.

Holding the sword and looking at him, he said aggrievedly: "The madam knew that the young master ran to put out the fire, so she scolded me."

"There's nothing to scold." Song Qingtang glanced at him.

"What do you think, young master, Madam is afraid that you will be hurt."

"Hey, then she should have stopped my father from sending me to the barracks. The battlefield is even more dangerous. My body is always in a different place, and my body might not even be found."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Zhijian said hurriedly, "Master, what are you talking about!"

"Who's Erlang is not Erlang, and I was not the only one who went to put out the fire last night. If everyone thinks this way, I don't think anyone can save this fire. If it keeps burning, sooner or later our Song Mansion will be burned through."

"Master!" Holding the sword, he stomped anxiously.

"Woman, you still stomp your feet!" Song Qingtang shouted.

Holding the sword energy, he curled his lips and muttered, "I don't know what the young master is thinking these days. He ran to patrol the streets. If he didn't patrol the streets, he wouldn't be able to solve the firefighting business."

"You know what a fart." Song Qingtang said.

Mentioning this, he subconsciously looked at the wanted notice on the case.

What are you doing to patrol the streets?It's not that there are portraits of this girl posted all over the street, if he goes to patrol the street, at least if she really has something, he can get news of her as soon as possible.

Speaking of which, it's getting late now, and he has to pack up and rush to see Zhao Ning. Song Qingtang was very happy when he saw Zhao Ning last night. The girl has some old friends.

Maybe if you find Zhao Ning, you can find a way to find that girl, or even that girl will contact Zhao Ning directly?
Following Song Qingtang's gaze, Zhijian also looked over and said, "Hey, I didn't seem to see this when I brought ginseng tea in just now."

"I brought it back last night and kept it there all the time. You were blind if you didn't see it." Song Qingtang said bluntly, while applying ointment on the back of his hand.

"Last night?" Zhijian said, "Oh, that's not surprising, she was only arrested this morning."

"What?" Song Qingtang looked at him.

"That's Ali," said Zhijian, "the news came in this morning that she was caught."

Song Qingtang was taken aback: "She was caught?"

"That's right, the city has been searching for girls these days, so it's hard not to get caught," said Jianjian, "Young master also wants to catch her?"

Song Qingtang didn't speak, still a little stunned.

　happy New Year!
