Chapter 102
It was dark at night, and the wind was blowing outside. Occasionally, you could hear the rustling of leaves blown by the wind, giving people a pale and gloomy feeling.

At midnight, several black figures crossed the sky and entered the Zhu Mansion in Baihua Town. After a while, wisps of white smoke rose from every corner of the Zhu Mansion. Then, the white eyes were replaced by dazzling fire, and the figures jumped out of Zhu Mansion instantly. Mansion, disappeared not far away.

"Cough, cough, cough~! Master, wake up, master, the house is on fire!" A concubine in a red bellyband looked at the white smoke that had been coming in from the hall, and reached out to shake Zhu who was sleeping like a dead pig. landlord.

"It's not good, it's out of water!"

"Quickly put out the fire!"

……

Hearing the sudden exclamation from outside, the concubine looked at Landlord Zhu who was still snoring through the room. She couldn't help sweating on her forehead. After hurriedly getting up to find some clothes to wear, she took out the clothes under the bed. A few hundred taels of silver bills were hastily put into his chest.

"Master, it's on fire, get up quickly, it's going to be too late!" The concubine shook Landlord Zhu's body again, her tone a little nervous and hasty.

Landlord Zhu felt that someone was making noise around him, and his breathing became more and more difficult, so he opened his eyes immediately, and saw the smog in the room, and the beautiful concubine beside him was looking at him anxiously.

"Master, wake up, hurry! Let's get out of the window!" Seeing that he woke up, the concubine was overjoyed, and helped Landlord Zhu to the window, and the two climbed the window to the outside.

Seeing the whole courtyard was on fire, Landlord Zhu, who was still in a daze, changed his expression drastically when he saw this, he pushed away the beautiful concubine beside him, and ran towards his courtyard with brisk steps.

Seeing that his yard had been burnt to nothing but a pile of wooden frames, he felt his eyes go dark, "It's over!" Before he fell down, he only had time to say these two words, and he lost consciousness instantly .

"Master, master, wake up!" Mrs. Zhu over there just ran over in a hurry, just in time to see the scene of Landlord Zhu falling on the ground, her face suddenly turned pale with shock.

"Quick! Here, bring water!"

"The fire here is getting heavier, come here first!"

……

Although everyone in the Zhu Mansion tried their best to put out the fire, unfortunately, it was too late...

Landlord Zhu woke up, saw the ruins in front of him, and burst into tears, "My money! My house! It's gone, everything is gone! Woooooo~!"

He hid all the silver in his own cabinet. Originally, his wife asked him to take it to the bank to deposit it, but because he felt that it was like putting it in other people's hands, he always felt uneasy, so he decided to save it. I put it in my own cabinet, and now it's all right, a big fire burned it all away!

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomore, lord, our son is gone!" Mrs. Zhu was distraught. Everyone was in a deep sleep and had no idea what was going on outside.

When Mrs. Zhu arrived, she saw that her son's house had been burnt to ashes, but she couldn't see her son outside, and she immediately fainted. When everyone put out the fire, only two bodies were carried out. Charred corpses.

Those concubines and servants saw that Zhu's house had been burned down, and all their money was gone, and they immediately rolled up the money that Landlord Zhu had bestowed on them before and fled. Now only Zhu Matchmaker and Landlord Zhu and his wife are left. !
Matchmaker Zhu shook her head and sighed as she watched the scene in front of her. I'm afraid it has something to do with that little girl, right?I'm afraid my younger brother has kicked the knife.

Matchmaker Zhu didn't have much feeling for Zhu Taijun's death, she really didn't like that nephew, at a young age, he didn't know anything, he would only indulge in the gentleness like his father all day long, and he was a lazy master.

If my younger brother didn't have the rich property left to him by his father and mother, he would have been living on the streets long ago!
"Cry, cry, cry, what's the use of crying, now I'm the only one who can take you two in, why don't you hurry back to Fucheng with me, is it possible that you still want to stay in these ruins?"

Matchmaker Zhu looked angrily at the two crying like they were about to die, one kept crying for his son and the other kept crying for money, which really made her feel resentful.

"Aren't you leaving?" Seeing that Matchmaker Zhu was getting impatient, the two of them remained reluctant, and got up from the ground with grief-stricken faces.

In the early morning of the next day, news of Zhu's leaking water instantly spread throughout Baihua Town.

"Have you heard? The Zhu Mansion was flooded yesterday, and I heard that many people died. I dare not pass by there from now on!"

"What do you know, I heard that only two people died, one is the son of Landlord Zhu, Zhu Taijun, and the other is his concubine!"

"What do you know? I heard that all the people in the Zhu Mansion were burnt down. There was no one alive. The people from the yamen went to see it this morning. Except for the ruins, there was no one left. I heard that people They were all burned to ashes!"

"Bah, it's good to be dead. This Landlord Zhu used to do a lot of evil, but now even God can't stand it, so he set fire to burn everyone to death."

"That's right, it's better to die!"

……

Along the way, Wushuang heard that everyone was talking about the flooding of Zhu's mansion, she was a little puzzled, besides herself, who else did this Zhu landlord offend?To let that person do such a terrific thing, it seems that Landlord Zhu has offended quite a few people!You don't have to do it yourself, just to save you an annoyance.

How did she know that the reason why that person did such a terrible thing was not all because of her...

"Shuang girl, you are finally here! Xiao Luo took those people back to Lingshan Village, and drove back the ox cart that was left in the backyard. He left this kid here, saying that he was waiting for you to come and take him away." Take it away!" Seeing Wushuang coming, Tang Lao stroked his beard with a smile and said.

Wushuang glanced at Jiang Qi, who was standing next to Mr. Tang, keeping his head down and not speaking, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Originally, he wanted to train him, but seeing his submissive appearance, he immediately dismissed the idea. idea.

With his appearance, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to kill a chicken, let alone murder, it seems that he can only be sent to Fucheng to help my uncle and uncle.

"Jiang Qi, can you do arithmetic?" Wushuang stared at him for a long time before asking.

"A little bit, my father was a shopkeeper in a restaurant before he was alive!" Jiang Qi looked up at her and replied.

Wushuang nodded secretly, that's good!At least he can have a good job for him. Although he is a little cowardly, he is kind and has clear eyes, not like those who steal and play tricks.

"Since that's the case, you should clean up. We're going to Fucheng now." Wushuang said lightly, many things have not been carried out yet, and even if she wants to go to Beijing, she can only postpone it later. Luo can find someone for her as soon as possible.

Jiang Qi didn't ask any more questions, just obediently went into the previous ward, picked up his burden and walked out.

"Grandpa Tang, let's go ahead!" Wu Shuang said goodbye to Elder Tang with a smile. Elder Tang didn't say much, just stroked his beard and nodded, watching the two walk out of Huichun Hall.
