The stars are falling in the dark night sky, and the sound of banging in the distance is clamoring that it is already midnight.

The quiet street was so dark that there was no light to be seen. More than a dozen shadowy men carried four things like wine jars in their hands, carefully shuttled through the night, and flew in the direction of the Grand Hyatt Inn.

"Quick, keep up!" The leader stopped and urged the people behind him softly.

However, Yun Huan insisted on giving it, but in the end he couldn't resist and had to accept it: "Master, the accent you speak is not from Xizhao, how could you offend someone when you first arrive?"

Yun Huan and the others jumped in front of the shopkeeper, almost startling him.

But Yun Huan seemed to see through his mind and said: "Shopkeeper, you will follow the instructions of the fire brigade officer later to help the government draw down the portraits of us, and it will be easy to do business, otherwise the entire row of buildings , if you lose it, you will vomit blood."

A series of tasks were ready, and a dozen men in black gathered together.The leader lit a fire bag and threw it at the wooden building sprinkled with tung oil, only heard the sound of "cracking", thick smoke rose, and the fire spread suddenly, dyeing half of the sky red.

"you……"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "Sir, the inn received a group of guests yesterday. They were three men and two women, five of them together. At first, two women and one man came to make reservations, and they asked for three rooms. During dinner, there were two more young men, one in black and one in white. Because the man in black was too handsome and dazzling, I remember it so clearly when I was young."

After bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Yun Huan and his party of five found a new inn to live in.

"Qingqing, what do you think about this?" Xiao Yeli asked with folded arms and staring at the ashes under his feet.

After the beating, I still felt unrelieved, so I ordered someone to sprinkle a few handfuls of salt on their wounds. Seeing them grinning in pain, I felt better.

"But they are from other places, and they have no grudges against the little one, so why set fire to the little one's shop?" The shopkeeper would rather believe that they escaped, than believe that such a beautiful, one-off You can tell by looking at it that the good-looking son-in-law will be the one who set fire to his own inn.

Although the shopkeeper didn't understand what she meant, but after taking her money, he was not willing to do the matter that the official told him to take a portrait just now, and he couldn't do it now.

The fire brigade was running at the fastest speed with water guns, but most of the buildings in Xizhao were made of wood, and with a gust of wind blowing from time to time, the fires burned fast and fiercely.Moreover, because it is located in a prosperous area, every inch of land is expensive, one house is connected to another, and a whole street is affected when one building burns and collapses.

Yun Huan said with a smile: "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, just do as I tell you, we'll be fine!"

When the officers and soldiers came with the portraits, Yun Huan and the other five were eating in the hall of the inn.

The shopkeeper repeatedly waved his hands and said, "How did this happen?"

The man in black saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and soon disappeared.

The shopkeeper wiped away his old tears and said: "Sir, I have been running an inn here in Zhao Jing for 13 years. Everyone around me knows that I am an honest person. I would rather suffer a loss than lose money to my guests. How can we talk about revenge?"

"Indeed, such a person who disregards the lives of others and the interests of the country is really unforgivable!" Xiao Yeli also said coldly.

Immediately, he became angry, and called the men in black who were doing errands last night, and each of them gave him twenty big boards.

On the roof of a three-story wooden building nearby, Yun Huan and the other five looked disheartened, obviously they had just experienced a catastrophe.

Yun Huan held back his smile, slowly raised his head from the portrait, and asked, "Master, what happened? What happened?"

The chief of the fire brigade stepped forward, looked the middle-aged man up and down, and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper of this inn?"

"But there are only 59 charred corpses here." The officer frowned and said, "Including you who survived, there are five people who have been burned to ashes? The ashes burned by people are different from the ashes of wood. Come here, come here." The officer is going to check carefully!"

In front of the ruins, the fire brigade carried out a total of 59 charred corpses from the inn, and they were neatly arranged on the bluestone floor in front of the inn.

As for her portrait, her thin body was painted as a burly man, and there were even spots of stubble on her face.

"How many people lived in your inn last night?" the officer asked again.

The man replied: "The young one is the owner and shopkeeper of this inn."

Yun Huan looked at the scorched corpses carried out from the ruins below, with a cold gleam in his eyes, and pursed his lips, he said, "Who else has feud with us in the Western Zhao Kingdom, besides Zhao Xu brother and sister? I don't care if it is Who among them, or the combination of the two of them, in short, this time they pissed me off!"

On the street, the five arsonists were being searched everywhere, and restaurants, teahouses, and inns were searched one by one.

The shopkeeper sighed and said, "Hurry up, you guys, seeing that such a big thing happened, the official wants you to be scapegoats, so you better get out of here quickly. Sigh, I don't know if I accidentally offended you." Who doesn't know it, and kills so many lives for nothing."

"Run away, run away!" Someone wailed and shouted.

Zhao Xu learned that a large area was burned in the city, and that the officers and soldiers were arresting three male and two female arson suspects with portraits, so he knew that Yun Huan and Xiao Yeli had escaped again.

After receiving Yun Huan's guarantee again, the shopkeeper agreed.

Not for anything else, just for the portrait, her man is very handsome, but he is still three points inferior to the real person, and there is a pea-sized mole on the right chin, and a few hairs are disgustingly added to it ...

After some investigation, except for the death in the inn, no casualties were found in other buildings. 13acv.

People rushed out from both sides of the street from time to time, some knocked on copper basins to alert the neighbors around them, and some came to put out the fire with buckets.

There are also Qin'er Qier and Jinglan, who are obviously handsome and beautiful, but they are painted as ugly, which does not match the person at all.

An officer and a soldier said to them: "You five, raise your heads!"

The star falls far away.Yun Huan replied, "We all escaped from the roof."

Seeing the portraits held by the officers and soldiers, Yun Huan suddenly burst into laughter.

When the crowd dispersed, only the shopkeeper was left standing in front of his shop, dazed and at a loss.

Seeing the bitter haha ​​of the shopkeeper, the officer waved his hand and said, "Don't be pitiful, I am helping you, remember to go to the officer of the Public Security Inspection Office in the city later, and draw the portraits of those people. Come out." He waved to his subordinates and said, "I have been busy all night, transport the corpse away, and then call it a day! The others should also leave."

The inn where Yun Huan and the others stayed was no exception.

The shopkeeper reckoned that the stack of banknotes was worth at least 3 taels, enough to open three inns of the same size, so he didn't accept the banknotes.

"Yeah." The officer nodded and said: "Shopkeeper, after investigation, the fire in the inn was caused by human beings. Have you made any enemies?"

After a good grooming, Yun Huan changed back into women's clothes. In this way, three men and two women became two men and three women, which was different from the information given by the shopkeeper.

The movement became louder and louder, more and more people were fighting the fire, and the originally quiet street was full of noise.

The shopkeeper saw that their faces and bodies were stained with black ash, and they looked ashamed, which proved that their guess was correct.

"Could it be that the five of them set the fire and fled quietly?" The official's words almost startled Yun Huan and Xiao Yeli on the nearby roof.

"This is none of the shopkeeper's business." Yun Huan took out a stack of bank notes from his bosom, pinched a stack and handed it to the shopkeeper, saying: "The arsonist came after me. We are the ones who have implicated you, the shopkeeper, and those innocent lives. This money should be your compensation, so please accept it!"

The huge fire dragon burned for three full hours, and more than a dozen buildings connected to the inn were all reduced to ashes.

"I'm an old acquaintance!" Yun Huanshui half-closed his eyes and said, "This is just a way for him to greet me, hehe, since I accept it, I will definitely pay him back in return!"

The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "There are three guests who have stayed in this inn for almost half a month. There were 52 people who checked in yesterday, including two or five shop assistants and four cooks. Including the younger one, there should be 65 people!"

Immediately, the voices of crying father and mother came one after another.

Yun Huan and the others had a good night's sleep, and it was already afternoon when they woke up.

"Three men and two women, right?" After receiving the shopkeeper's nod in response, the officer whispered in his ear and said, "Leave this matter alone. More than ten buildings were burned down and 59 people died. This is too much." Seriously, someone will take the blame after all! Or will you be arrested and condemned to fire for no reason and sent to the frontier to serve hard labor?"

Just after people thought that all the people in the inn were killed, a middle-aged man dressed as a shopkeeper lifted the slate cover and got out of the water tank in the ashes. Looking around, he couldn't help crying mark.

Didn't sleep much yesterday, a few people had a simple meal in the hall of the inn, and then went back to the room to catch up on sleepiness.

For a moment, the sound of chaotic footsteps came from the inn, and after a while, someone rushed downstairs, trying to open the door, but found that the door could not be opened at all.

Not long after, when they arrived at the door of Junyue Inn, the leader took out a huge copper lock, locked the door of the inn, and said: "Two go to the back door, sprinkle tung oil on the roof, two on the roof, two Remove two windows on each of the third and third floors, and the rest, together with me, spray all the windows on the ground floor."

"This……"

"Ah, it's on fire, it's on fire!" Someone in the inn shouted frantically.

"If you tell you to raise your heads, then what do you do?" The person who spoke first replied impatiently.

Seeing a few officers and soldiers check with the five of them before leaving, Yun Huan and the others couldn't help laughing.

Yun Huan couldn't help but thought to himself: Nima, shopkeeper, you are too evil.How can you let the elder brother of the officers and soldiers arrest people with such a portrait?
