Zhu Feng probably also saw that she was worried about the night after the fire broke out in the Hakang, so he said, "What's wrong with you? The matter is done, why do you look very worried?"

"No, no."

"Although said no."

Zhu Feng squatted down and looked at her straight, saying, "Look at you, your face is still not good-looking, tsk, your hands are also cold."

Feeling his hand reaching out and holding his own.

It was rare that for so long, I finally felt the familiar temperature from Zhu Feng's thick and rough palm again, not as cold as I had been after being injured for a long time.

Nan Yan opened his eyes wide and kept staring at him.

Zhu Feng met her gaze and only raised his eyebrows slightly: "Hmm?"

"Master, I—"

Just as he was about to speak, a few knocks came from outside the door. The waiter stood outside and asked softly: "Have you finished drinking ginger soup? The younger one also served some late-night snacks."

Zhu Feng turned around and said, "We don't need it anymore. You can send it to the two rooms next to you."

"Oh, yes."

The waiter left.

Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at him: "Hmm? What are you going to say to me?"

“…”

Nan Yan hesitated for a while, then looked up at him again. The noisy voices outside the window seemed to be about to overturn the roof. Such an uneasy night seemed not suitable to calm down and talk about some things. She thought about it and said, "No, nothing."

“…”

Zhu Feng also glanced at her, but did not ask questions, nor did he look lost.

He just reached out and gently pressed her shoulder, and said softly: "Since it's okay, then take a break early. I'm really tired enough today."

"Um."

No words all night.

Zhu Feng got up early the next morning. Although Nan Yan didn't sleep well and his head was a little heavy, he was not the time to stay in bed at will, so he would also get up early with him.

While having breakfast in the guest room, Li Bushang came in to report the result of the fire in Xiaohecang last night.

Zhu Feng picked up some vegetables for Nanyan, then turned to look at Li Bushen.

"A third of the food was burned?"

Li Bushang said: "Now the Hang Seng Store is very cautious because of this fire, and Weichen is not convenient to send people to sneak in to prevent them from discovering clues. Although the news that came out burned one-third, the ignition situation reported by his subordinates and the duration of the fire should have been at least half of it."

Zhu Feng nodded softly when he heard this.

“One-third is good, half is better.”

After saying that, he said to Li Bushang: "Okay, you go down. Pay attention to inquire about the news over there and report it at any time."

"yes."

After Li Bushu finished speaking, he lowered his head and retreated.

Compared to the calmness on this side, there was a chaotic situation in the Hang Seng Tour on the other side of Xiajiang Town.

The fire has been extinguished and the rescue work is still continuing, but the reported situation made Lu Taining, the shopkeeper of Hang Seng Store, furious and fell to the ground.

The accountant and two subordinates on the side were so scared that they dared not speak.

Lu Taining gritted his teeth, and the veins swelled up, and said viciously: "I actually burned half of the food. What are the people in your warehouse doing?! How could this happen!"

The accountant dared not speak.

The person in charge of the warehouse down below lowered his head and said with a sad face: "Shopkeeper, this incident is really an accident."

"Accident? After so many years, people have been on river lanterns every year. Why did it be this year that the warehouse was lit at this time?!"

"Shopkeeper, we checked it. The iron net that was stuck under the water before was rusted."

"What?"

"The iron mesh has rust and a hole has been broken, but the people below didn't have time to discover it. Maybe it was because of this that the river lanterns that those people put on last night floated under the warehouse and lit them."

"damn it!"

Lu Taining, who always smiles and looks kind and makes money, couldn't help but curse at this time: "Why didn't the people below find out earlier? Such an important thing, now that we have burned half of our food, what should we do on the Lianwu side!"

No one below dared to speak.

The accountant gentleman thought about it and waved his hand to repel the left and right. Only the two of them were left in the house. He walked forward carefully and leaned into Lu Taining's ear and whispered: "Shopkeeper, there are less than ten days left to pay the food in Lianwu."

"You still need to say, don't I know?!"

Lu Taining said gritting his teeth.

If it is normal, even if you ask for more money, buy the grain first and send it to you. Even if you lose a little, you can't make the other side angry. But this time, the time to deliver the grain is only so short, but half of the grain is burned out.

Where did he find so many?

Even if you can find it, it's too late.

The accountant said: "From a small perspective, hurry up and go to the nearby area to inquire. Cuicang County. I heard that the harvest last year was good. When we went to collect grain, the price was not high. If you go and see it again, you can buy as much as you can."

This is indeed the only way to do it right now.

So he nodded and said, "Let your people bring the money and go there quickly."

The accountant said: "Yes."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

When he walked out, Lu Taining sat in the chair and thought about it again. Although this was a solution, it was impossible to really remedy the losses this time. Moreover, he knew very well that it was the time when the green and yellow seasons were not in line. Even if the harvest in Cuicang County last year was good, it would be impossible for the people's homes to be left.

After thinking about it, he called another subordinate in and said, "You ask someone to go to a nearby boat shop to find out what business it has not received recently."

The subordinates also followed him for many years, and he knew at first that the shopkeeper had a bad idea.

So he asked, "What if I find out if there is any?"

"what to do?"

Lu Taining gritted his teeth and said, "If the price is right, people are willing to take action on the spot. Of course, they should buy it quickly for emergency response. If they are unwilling-"

Speaking of this, he raised his head and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Don't waste our old business."

When the subordinate heard this, a grim smile appeared on his face.

As Zhu Feng and the others guessed, the stronghold set up by Tiangang Lianwu in Xiajiang Town is this Hang Seng Tour, which specializes in collecting grain from nearby towns and transporting it to Xingluo Lake for people there to consume. These people are also from water bandits and have no capital to buy and sell their families and robbery. Now they encounter a big fire and burn half of the grain to be delivered to Xingluo Lake this year. If they don’t think of some solutions, it will be difficult for them to hand in the job.

Especially now, there is another evil star there.

Thinking of this, Lu Taining said, "Go quickly."

The subordinate said, "Yes."
