Stepmother Shaoguang

She didn't care about reminiscing about the old days with him, she just explained a few words to him quickly, and continued to evacuate the people who were trapped in the restaurant because of the water.

She tried her best to find a wooden cart covered with a layer of straw from the alley by the side of the road.

Looking around, he snatched the wooden barrel used to put out the fire from the restaurant clerk, and poured his head on the straw.

"What are you doing?!" the man yelled angrily, reaching out to catch her, but the Huya boy blocked him: "Help me!"

"Jump down!" He Shaoguang raised his head and shouted at the people on the second floor, "Jump into the car!"

The others didn't dare, but with the lesson from the broken leg that never got up again, they all flinched.

But one of the clothes was brought to the flames, and rushed out regardless of other people's obstruction, and jumped down without thinking.

The man landed on the cart accurately and rolled on the pile of straw soaked in water. The straw not only acted as a buffer, but also extinguished the fire on him.

Everyone saw that it was useful and would not break their legs, so they rushed to jump down.

He Shaoguang was afraid that they would fight again because of the fight over who would be the first, so he continued to command angrily: "Don't fight one by one, let the elderly and children take priority!"

Seeing that the crowd gradually became less crowded and panicked than before, Lu Xiaowen also found Chi Zhifu's group hiding in a shop by the roadside.

Seeing Lu Xiaowen, his eyes lit up: "General Lu, can you take us away from here soon?"

"Where does Prefect Chi want to go? There is chaos on the street. As the prefect, shouldn't he dispatch people to evacuate and rescue his own people?"

There were other common people in the shop hiding here too, and when they heard Lu Xiaowen's questioning, they all echoed.

Sweat dripped from Chi Zhifu's forehead as you spoke to me.

Aunt Zhen looked at Lu Xiaowen, then at Chi Zhifu, and said softly, "Didn't your lord just plan to find the Yawei himself to clear the situation?"

"Yes, yes, General Lu, I want to ask you to send me back to the government office, and then I will find the government officials to rescue me."

"It's too late." Lu Xiaowen said in a deep voice, looking at the crowd outside with a sad expression, "It will take at least half an hour to go back to the government office and come back. How many lives will be lost during that time? How many people are you bringing with you now? Follow me first , let one person go back and communicate."

"Yes," Chi Zhifu was about to say something, but was interrupted by Aunt Zhen's eyes, "then ask General Lu to lead the way, Zhen'er is waiting here."

Chi Zhifu only brought a dozen people with him, and Lu Xiaowen asked them to stand guard at alleys and intersections, helping people in need, such as the elderly and children.

He Shaoguang's side controlled the excited crowd and stopped panicking. Lu Xiaowen's side evacuated the crowd. The number of people on the street gradually decreased and some order was restored.

At this time, the government's helpers also rushed over. In fact, they had received the news long before Chi Zhifu's servants went to invite someone, but they were blocked on another street and couldn't get in.

He worked until Haishi before he took a breath.

Almost everyone who could walk has left. The streets are full of scars, and there are people who died of stampede lying here and there. I don’t know where their family members have gone, so they can only be placed in rows on the ground and numbered.

There were also those who were temporarily unable to move due to serious injuries, and fell to the ground and groaned weakly. Doctors from various medical centers were urgently pulled over in the middle of the night for diagnosis and treatment.

The storefronts of the shops on the street were basically burnt black, but because there were enough people and the guys rescued them in time, at least the frame did not fall down.

He Shaoguang couldn't bear to count how many innocent people lost their lives because of this. Just looking at the corpses displayed on the street from the street to the end of the alley, he knew that there must be no less than a hundred people.

Perhaps for Chi Zhifu, this is just a number. For Jinling City, without these 100 people, there are still tens of thousands of people who are still alive after today.But for the family of these 10 people, the price is that they will no longer see the faces and voices of their loved ones.

Across the long street, He Shaoguang and Lu Xiaowen at the end of the street looked at each other from a distance, and understood the doubt in each other's eyes.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, with lanterns burning, lantern viewing, and tens of thousands of people going out, for such a grand festival, didn't Chi Zhifu prepare any security measures?

At least such a crowded main street should be patrolled by guards not far away.

There are also lamp mountains made by various families, and those wooden frames used to support the lamp mountains will fall down with a light touch?

After all, Zhifu Chi is already old, and it is not convenient to say it today if he has any doubts. After everyone returns to their homes to have a good sleep and comfort the relatives of the victims, we will calculate this sum.

When I got home, the children were already fast asleep.

Adu had sensed that something was wrong long before the incident happened, and brought all the young masters back to the garden, and sent people to report to the Kong family and the Hua family.

Only then did they feel relieved.

"Today I found Chi Zhifu, but he only thought about running for his own life, and he didn't think about the dangerous people outside." Lu Xiaowen's eyes were full of sarcasm, and his impression of Chi Zhifu was even worse.

"I heard from some stall owners that in order to save the expenses of the Lantern Festival, Chi Zhifu not only forced the famous people in Jinling to build a mountain of lanterns, but also those made for the county and government offices were crudely made and used less wood. It wasn't stable, and it wasn't coated with a fireproof coating, so it caught fire right away."

Today, a stall owner who suffered a disaster thought that he could not escape, and the stall that he spent all his money on was gone. All thoughts were lost, and he had the courage to tell He Shaoguang about this.

It can be seen that Chi Zhifu's daily actions have accumulated a lot of public grievances.

"Oh, all the money has been saved into his Chi family's pocket."

When this happened in Jinling, naturally it could not be hidden from the eyes of the superiors. The impeachment papers of the officials in the court piled up like snowflakes on the sage's desk. Chi Zhifu was very old and began to write the papers to plead guilty and defend himself. He was very busy.

The suspicious points that He Shaoguang thought of that night were naturally thought of by some people in the court, so some people questioned that Chi Zhifu had no way to govern and ignored the safety of the people.

Everything else is fine to justify, only this one, because Lu Xiaowen witnessed it with his own eyes, and everything will be revealed when the Lu family returns to Beijing, and he can't pretend to go there.

Just as he was in a hurry, Aunt Zhen came in with pear soup and sat in front of him with a smile on her face as before: "Master, have a drink of the soup. I have been busy dealing with the Mid-Autumn Festival these days, and Zhen'er sees that the corners of your mouth are bubbling. This pear soup is the best way to clear away heat, try it."

Chi Zhifu didn't have the patience to taste it carefully, but Aunt Zhen was his favorite concubine after all, so he still gave her face, picked it up, took a quick sip, and comforted her: "Okay, Zhen'er, the master is busy. Now, you go back first. I will accompany you after the master finishes his work. "
