Great Lawyer

Chapter 739 A Big Fire ([-])

"One more thing." Shen Daoru and Du Jiuyan said, "The time I met Concubine Ji was one month before her death."

Du Jiuyan was slightly startled, looking at Shen Daoru.

"She has not been sick all the time like in the legend, and her complexion is not good." Shen Daoru said, "She came to Yanjing to sue, and we talked for half an hour through the curtain. She said she was going to die, and hoped that I could help her Find this fan, and when the King of Jiujiang commits a serious crime in the future, you can use this fan to save his life."

"After she finished speaking, she left behind the ring and left." Shen Daoru said, "A month later, I heard the news of her passing away."

After Shen Daoru finished speaking, he looked at Du Jiuyan and asked, "You said, the King of Jiujiang is about to commit a felony?"

"Yes!" Du Jiuyan said.

"I finally broke my promise." Shen Daoru leaned against the head of the bed, "However, I still have to try. After all, I promised my old friend that I will go in the future, and I have no face to face her."

Du Jiuyan didn't speak, she has many questions now.

The cripple suddenly stood up and opened the door. Everyone looked at him, and Chang An was even more surprised to see the cripple talking to a masked man in black at the door. The two whispered a few words, and the man spoke silently disappeared into the yard.

Come and go like no one's land.

Chang An was dumbfounded. If Du Jiuyan really wanted to kill them, it would be really easy.

"What's wrong?" Du Jiuyan looked at the lame man.

The lame man looked at her and said, "Jiujiang Palace is on fire."

"Is it on fire?" Du Jiuyan said in astonishment, "King Gui is still in the Jiujiang Palace?"

The lame nodded.

"Let's go!" Du Jiuyan's heart skipped a beat, feeling very bad, he had already run out after the words fell.

The lame man followed suit.

Shen Daoru immediately sat up straight, stared at the door and shouted: "Chang...Chang'an, take your fan and go quickly."

"quick!"

Chang An also ran out.

The Jiujiang Prince's Mansion did not catch fire in the whole house, but in the main courtyard.

Du Jiuyan's heart beat suddenly, he pushed away the people blocking the way at the door, and rushed into the palace.

"The little goblin can't be so stupid, can he?" Du Jiuyan looked at the lame man.

The lame man said, "No."

When the two entered the palace, the fire was already very high, the scarlet flames were beating on the roof, like a monster with its bloody mouth wide open, swallowing the entire courtyard.

"Where is the prince?" Du Jiuyan grabbed a small servant in the Jiujiang Palace, and the little servant pointed at the fire scene ignorantly, and said, "It's, it's inside."

Du Jiuyan's eyelids twitched and he asked, "I'm asking King Gui, Lord Gui!"

"It's also inside." The little servant knelt down and said, "The two princes are inside."

Du Jiuyan's eyes went dark, and it was the first time she felt what it meant to be lost. She couldn't believe it and asked again, "What did you say, tell me clearly."

"The two princes were drinking in the banquet room in the house, and the fire... the fire came out of the banquet room."

"The two princes didn't come out, and none of them came out."

The little house attendant kowtowed and did not dare to stop.

"Impossible!" Du Jiuyan turned around and grabbed the hand on his neck, sneered, "He said King Gui didn't come out inside, and he's not a fool, how could he not come out."

The cripple shook her hand back, her fingers were cold and trembling slightly.

It was the first time he saw Du Jiuyan like this, he was flustered and not even half of his usual composure.

"I'll go in and look for it." The cripple patted her on the shoulder and turned to enter the yard. Du Jiuyan's eyes cleared and he jumped in surprise, "How did you get in? The fire is so big."

The steaming fire seems to be able to burn the clouds above the head, standing next to it is like grilling on a fire.

The lame man looked back at her and said, "It doesn't matter."

As he spoke, he took the bucket from someone else's hand and poured it on his body.

"No." Du Jiuyan pulled him, "I didn't even figure out the situation, so I just rushed in. The prince is not a fool, there is no reason not to come out."

The lame man frowned and said, "What if he is drugged?"

Du Jiuyan was dumbfounded.

The cripple knew that she was out of control, so he reminded her, "If it wasn't for the poison, how could he not come out."

"I'll go!" Du Jiuyan drenched himself, "You meet me outside."

To save King Gui, she has no reason to put the lame man in danger.

She saved King Gui because of love, even if she died, she would still be with King Gui, but if the cripple had some troubles, even if she and King Gui survived, they would never feel at ease for the rest of their lives.

"Nine words!" The lame man grabbed him.

"Don't be naughty, it's too late." Du Jiuyan pushed away the lame man and rushed into the fire scene. Before she could take two more steps, the inner guards rushed in. They were covered with soaked quilts and shouted, "Let open."

Du Jiuyan was knocked away by them.

Six people rushed into the banquet room.

The roof was already crumbling, as if it would collapse if it burned for a moment longer.

"What's going on, why did it catch fire?" Zhao Yu came in, dressed in a dragon robe full of anger, "Where are people, are they all dead?"

The Queen Mother also came in from the outside, stood at the gate of the yard, looked at the fire, with a look of horror and despair, tightly held Qian Momo's hand, and said, "They say Mo Xi is inside?"

"No way, our lord is so smart, how could there be a fire without knowing it." Qian Momo cried.

The queen mother murmured: "Yes, what if he can't come out?"

Qian Momo's legs gave way, and she almost fell to the ground with the Queen Mother.

"My lord!" Mrs. Qin Tai and Ji Xia Nan also rushed over, she supported the door frame and cried loudly, "My lord!"

"Hurry up and save the prince, go in!"

"Ma'am, someone has already gone in."

The yard was noisy.

An Guogong also came in a hurry. After looking around for a week, he came to Zhao Yu's side and said, "My lord, it's dangerous here. Why don't you wait outside the courtyard first."

"There are too many people in the yard, and it is inconvenient for firefighters to get in and out."

"Jiujiang King and Mo Xi are both inside." Zhao Yu couldn't believe that Gui Wang would be inside. He was supported by An Guogong, and everyone in the yard followed him, leaving only those who fetched water to put out the fire.

Du Jiuyan watched the fire scene nervously.

"You stand still." The cripple told her, "I'll go in."

Du Jiuyan pulled him, and the lame man said, "Their method is very good. I also use a quilt. I will definitely bring King Gui out."

"Be careful." Du Jiuyan said.

The lame man nodded, went into the yard without looking back, picked up a wet quilt, and rushed into the fire with the quilt on his head.

Du Jiuyan also wanted to go in, but was grabbed by Qian Momo, she said: "There are so many people inside, just wait outside."

"I..." Du Jiuyan's mind went blank, she squatted down with her head in her hands, her whole body was wet.After living two lifetimes, she considered herself a calm and rational person, but today she couldn't calm down and make herself more rational.

"Princess," Qian Momo said, "Your Highness must be fine, definitely fine."

Du Jiuyan nodded, looked into the room, and murmured: "The room is so small, why hasn't anyone been found yet?"

She was anxious and flustered, her legs were weak, she sat on the ground and her eyes were tightly locked on the exit of the room.

Suddenly, two people rushed out from the flames.

Du Jiuyan saw them rushing out with a black and straight object in their arms. She stood up suddenly, and Mrs. Qin's exclamation also sounded outside the yard, shouting: "What is this?"

Two inner guards wrapped in quilts rushed in and put the things they carried out on the ground outside the courtyard.

"What, what is this?" Mrs. Qin shouted in surprise.

Everyone stood around the charred thing in silence, no one spoke.

This shape is a scorched and deformed "person" whose appearance and figure are completely unrecognizable.

"Who is it?" the Queen Mother asked in a calm voice.

The two inner guards replied: "No, I don't know who it is, there is someone inside."

Du Jiuyan stood at the gate of the courtyard and did not go over. She absolutely believed that it was not King Gui, so she didn't even want to look at it.Turning her head, she headed towards the scene of the fire. Before she could go up the steps, two more people rushed out of the fire field, both of them empty-handed. Everyone's hearts were in their throats, and they didn't even want to see them bring out another charred body. people come out.

"Where are people?" Du Jiuyan asked.

The two threw the quilt aside, pointed inside, "Come out, come out."

Du Jiuyan looked inside, and saw the lame man rushing out from the inside with a man on his back. She couldn't see his face under the quilt, but his legs dragging on the ground immediately showed his ambivalence. identity.

"My lord!" Du Jiuyan went up and held the cripple's arm.

The lame man said, "Go quickly, the house is going to fall down."

"Get out!" Du Jiuyan yelled, "Go!"

Everyone rushed out of the yard.

The main courtyard behind him collapsed, and sparks flew everywhere.

Du Jiuyan spread the quilt on King Gui's body on the ground, and the lame man put him down.

When she saw him clearly, she couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.Except for a few places where his clothes were burned, his whole body was intact and there were no injuries.

As if she had been drained of strength, her legs softened and she sat down.

"Moxi!" Zhao Yu, the Queen Mother and Qian Momo stepped forward, hugging and shouting, Zhao Yu pressed Xue, "Bring water."

Xue Yin was ready a long time ago, and hurriedly wiped King Gui's face with a washbasin and a wet handkerchief.

"Moxi," the queen mother cried, holding King Gui's hand, crying, "Moxi, wake up."

King Gui was lying on the ground with a pale complexion, no matter how much he called him, he was unconscious. The queen mother yelled several times, and looked at Zhao Yu, and she went to feel King Gui's breath with shaking hands.

Du Jiuyan stared at the Queen Mother's movements in astonishment, his ears seemed to have lost his hearing, only the gestures and movements of the Queen Mother, and no sound could be heard.
