The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 15 Showdown
It was raining heavily outside, and the cubs ate and huddled together in a corner where the rain did not leak and fell asleep.

Looking at the bright white water curtain outside, Jin Bo heaved a sigh of relief, the rain really came just in time.

If the fire can be extinguished, those of them who have escaped by chance will be able to suffer less.

Turning around, he picked up the bamboo stick that Xiaosi used to explore the way, and poked the thin monkey thrown in the corner.

The man woke up and stared at the short and thin child in front of him in horror.

Jin Bo put one hand on his hip and held a bamboo stick in the other.

"I ask, you answer. Be honest with me, otherwise, I will kill you."

Before Jinbo could ask a question, the man shouted.

"For those who stutter, as long as you give stutters, I will tell you whatever you want to know."

His eyes stared straight at the earthen jar that was placed aside, but the jar was empty, so Jinbo naturally couldn't agree to him.

"That depends on whether your answer is worth a bite of food for you. You also know how precious a bite of food is in this world."

The man swallowed, and looked away from the crock with great reluctance.

"Who are you and why are you following us all the way?"

"My name is Ah Kuan, and when I turned sixteen last year, I was conscripted to work as a civilian worker to build altars.

When I ran for my life last night, I saw that you were quite organized and had food in your hands, so I followed you. "

Jin Bo tapped the bamboo stick, "You guys set the fire in the city last night, right? Who ordered you to set fire to the city?"

Ah Kuan kept his mouth shut. It was true that they started the fire, but he couldn't say anything about it, and he didn't dare to say it.

As I said before, this matter must be kept secret, and after this matter is completed, each of them will get a bucket of coarse grain.

Maybe you can still get free, and you won't have to do coolies anymore.

When I set the fire, I never thought that it would have such serious consequences.

He just wanted to stutter, but now he has become the murderer who burned the city, and he doesn't want to be like this, he just wants to live.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Jinbo raised his bamboo stick and hit his skinny calf, Ah Kuan just flinched.

This is just a group of half-grown children, as long as he keeps silent, they can't do anything to him, and they will let him go soon.

Thinking of this, Ah Kuan turned his head away and ignored Jinbo again.

The boy who was watching the excitement took out half a piece of dry biscuit from his arms, moved forward, squatted down in front of Ah Kuan, and chewed it.

The chewing sound of "baji baji" finally broke Ah Kuan's defense.

"Leave me a bite, and I'll tell you."

The boy stood up, put the pancakes back into his arms, and stood behind Jinbo, waiting for Ah Kuan's answer.

"Three nights ago, someone came to tell us that the things we had planned before had to be advanced, and arranged a full meal for us to act the next day.

But I don't know exactly what happened, I just followed the group to the south gate of the imperial city according to the leader's instructions.

I thought the emperor was dead, and we were just going to pay tribute to the funeral, but as soon as we got outside the palace gate, there was chaos.

Some people led the chanting of slogans, such as 'the world is approaching, and the world is in great danger, only the goddess can save the country' and the like.

Although I couldn't understand, I felt very shocked when I was wrapped in the crowd. After two days of arguing like this, I found that the people who led the crowd had disappeared.

Everyone was hungry and sleepy, and they didn't know who came up with the idea. They said they wanted to break into the palace, but they were shot and killed by the guards on the palace wall, and everyone scattered and fled.

We all follow the lead, we can't find the person we contacted at the beginning, and we don't know what to do next.

Thinking about buying some food, I simply left the capital and went to the street to find that the folks who thought the same as us had already started looting and smashing them.

The head told us not to harm ordinary people, but how can we control it later.

Even the soldiers who maintained law and order and the ordinary people joined in, and it was not until the insects came out at night that they calmed down.

After dawn, I got my head in order, saying that I got the guidance of the nobleman and wanted to take us to rob the rich.

I was dizzy from hunger, so I just made up the number of people, and I really didn't do the smashing thing. "

Jinbo was still waiting for the next sentence, but Ah Kuan stopped talking and motioned to the boy next to him to give him a bite to eat.

The boy was also cunning. He broke off a small piece and handed it to Ah Kuan's mouth. After he opened his mouth, he took it back.

"You continue to talk about the burning of the city, and I will eat it for you after you finish talking."

Ah Kuan swallowed, but there was nothing he could do.

"Find me at dusk, give me a can of fire oil, and let me go to the designated place to set a fire before the bugs come out.

It is said that we can get a bucket of coarse food after finishing the work, and if the nobleman is happy, he can even send us out of the city.

I thought the fire was just to drive away the bugs and make it easier for other people to do things, but I didn't know that at the same time, the whole city was on fire.

When the fire broke out, they couldn't find a way to join the leader and the others, so they could only follow the fleeing people to a safe place.

I met you on the road and followed. I really didn't know that the fire would burn so big. "

The boy stuffed the broken pancake into Ah Kuan's mouth, and Ah Kuan swallowed it without chewing, but opened his mouth and waited to be fed.

The boy kicked him: "You are so beautiful, you still have the face to burn the city, and it would be cheaper for you not to beat you to death with a stick.

We lost our family, so reflect on your sins. "

Hua Luo pulled Jin Bo aside: "Why did you ask him about the fire?"

Jinbo wanted to make up a lie, saying that he was worried about his father who would be arrested and become a civilian husband, but the boy said it to her before he could say anything.

"Don't try to lie to me, I know who you are."

Jin Bo secretly laughed, even she herself didn't know who she should be, and what did he know.

"You are from the Xie family, right? On the second day you came to the ruined temple, someone from the Xie family came to us to help find a child who had run away from the mansion.

It was too chaotic outside, and we had other things to do, so we put this matter aside.

I'm sure that you are the child the Xie family is looking for. "

Jinbo glanced at him, stopped pretending, and had a showdown.

"That's right, I am Jinbo they are looking for, now that you know, what can you do?

The whole city has been burnt down, so what if you send me back, and someone will give you a reward. "

The child was speechless for a moment, raised his hand and pushed Jin Bo back.

"I can't do anything to you, but the Xie Mansion is kind to us, you stole other people's things and ran out, and you are still so arrogant.

At such a young age, his cheeks are too thick.Wait for Gu Lian to come back and see how we deal with you. "

Jin Bo said "Yo He", raised his bamboo stick and hit him, even rotten fish and shrimp dared to educate her.

Sui didn't have much strength, but the technique of using the knife was a memory engraved in his muscles, and the boy who hit him ran around with his head in his arms.

Woke up the sleeping cubs, laughing and watching.

Xiao Si shouted: "Quickly stop making trouble, be careful not to attract others, we don't know where this place is yet." Then he listened attentively, "It must be raining outside, the fire has been extinguished, how long have I slept , Dahei can be found."
