Chapter 377
The fire was frighteningly burning.
But it gets up quickly and ends quickly.
When the Luoyang County County Magistrate ran to the scene with a crooked hat, the fire had already been saved.
The county magistrate was circling around the fired courtyard with suspicion: "It started to burn in just a short while? It could burn the whole city to see the fire. But in just a short while, it was rescued and only injured two or three people? Why am I dreaming?"
Qinghe, who had an arm injured, came forward weakly and explained: "It's a coincidence. There is a shop in our palace that is about to be converted into a teahouse. I was ordered to come and see the project, but the masons didn't go home and were waiting for me to come.
"When the fire is there, everyone will go to help. The sand, buckets and other things on our side are all there, so why don't we save it?"
The county magistrate naturally recognized Qinghe and hurriedly smiled: "If the young man is not here by the prince's side, why would he come here in the middle of the night?"
"Today, the prince and his friends were drinking in Maoji. I didn't pay attention to my words during the meal, which made the prince unhappy. Our family has always been generous to others. The prince couldn't bear to beat me, so he let me run away and torture me, and I was punished."
Qinghe said, yawning, rubbing her eyes and asking, "I'm injured, tired and sleepy, maybe I'm going to go back to sleep?"
What is the meaning of the Lianwang Mansion? Is this the conclusion that "caught fire accidentally"?
The county magistrate understood after a moment of thinking, nodded and bowed: "Okay, no, no! Brother is brave enough! Looking back at the owner of this shop, I should thank you very much!"
"I don't want them to flatter me! I'm just afraid of burning my shop." Qinghe waved his hand impatiently, and then turned around and pointed at the group of people who helped put out the fire. "There are people who are left behind from all households. There are also a few brothers who came with me from Maoji. Oh, those are the bricklayers in our family."
The county magistrate's eyes turned and looked around the people wearing ordinary clothes. His heart trembled slightly. He pretended not to know and bowed with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work. I just have a few questions to ask..."
"Is it because of the fire in the shop? Then we shouldn't ask us. The shop should be from the Chu family. Look back and see, the young master of the Chu Shangshu family is still fainting! You ask their family members, you know the best."
Qinghe's words scared the county magistrate to his weak legs.
The county magistrate quickly sued him and ran into the shop.
Qinghe took the people away here, and the servants dared not stop him, so they let them go to Maoji together with them.
Chu Peilan woke up slowly here, looking at her dark face, and seemed to cry and laugh: "It's burned? It's burned?"
The confidant Changsu quickly cried: "Young Master, you are the first time you are doing business with someone. Why did you make such a fuss before you open your business? I have advised you that you have no money inside and outside, so don't worry about it.
"Look at you, you don't listen! If you are so hurt, don't feel sorry for your husband? If you don't take good care of your little one, you may not be able to survive!"
The county magistrate approached carefully and asked with a smile: "Where is Mr. Chu's injury? The villain should ask the doctor to come quickly?"
The Changsui looked at him, thought for a while, and asked, "Is the Luoyang County Magistrate? Our young master doesn't need a quack doctor outside. Besides, he just fainted by the fireworks. I'm going to take the young master home now. Please help us see if our carriage outside is in a way?"
The county magistrate hurriedly sent someone out to see it, and he asked Changsui carefully: "Young Master Chu was fainted by the fireworks. Could it be that when the fire broke out, the young master was in the warehouse? This was too dangerous."
"Who said no!" Chang Sui was full of annoyance, "This shop was opened by my young master and the Yu family. The Yu family shipped the goods, and we shipped the shop with half of each person.
"This morning, the Yu family transported all the goods and stored the warehouse here. It was said that our young master was not available today, but the Yu family's father insisted that the young master must let the goods and orders be compared today. The young master had no choice but to come tonight.
"But who knew that the guy who was guarding the shop today accidentally fell asleep while lighting the charcoal basin lamp oil. Our young master's pan-store naturally started from the last room. But when he found something wrong outside, the fire had already sealed the gate of the courtyard."
As he spoke, his face was filled with fear, "Our young master is kind and he rescued the sleeping guy at a torch. But everyone was trapped in the yard and couldn't get out.
"——Hey, the county magistrate, you said, is it someone who wants to harm our young master? Why do I think the fire is too bad?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Chu Peilan stretched out her long legs and gently kicked her parents' leg. She raised her face to look at the county magistrate and sighed: "I don't have the fate of doing business. I deserve it.
"It's just an accidental fire. Don't shout it all over the capital. If my father is scolded by His Majesty, I should be in trouble."
The county magistrate smiled and said, "Why do you think Mr. Chu is a filial son? He was injured and he was still thinking about not being angry. Since it was an accident, then the young master will leave someone to work with our Luoyang County, so you don't have to worry about the people next to him. Go back and rest, right?"
Chu Peilan nodded, and stood up with the help of his servant, frowned and rubbed his temples, looked down at his clothes, and sighed: "The robe my mother made for me is over. I'm afraid I can't hide it."
A little angry appeared on his face, pointing at Changsui and shouting, "It's all you guy who caused trouble! Why did you have to let me come to Panku tonight? How could the little dalang of the Yu family manage you? He also instigated me to do business with him, and forced me to follow his ideas in everything!
"He has such a big place and a few people, why can't these things be kept at his house? He has to put them in the shop! These fur materials are the most likely to cause fire. As expected, they are burned, I'm afraid he will still have to rely on me!"
"No, no, no! Young Master, don't think so! The agreement between the two companies is clearly written, and the Yu family cannot rely on you! The young man also disregards the benefits of the Yu family's little son. Don't you all look at it - who has the face?"
Chang Sui's face was full of entanglement and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Chu Peilan snorted and rolled her eyes: "You are here from beginning to end, just staying here. You can also answer what's wrong with Luoyang County. You can clean up here and then go home to report it to me!"
Luoyang County Wei sighed and smiled and sent Chu Peilan out.
But as soon as Chu Peilan left, his long-lasting bowed immediately became arrogant: "It's just an accidental fire. Our young master doesn't want to make a big deal. You can do it as you please. I'll wait in the Ruanxiang Building on the back street. If you have something to do, please let me go there and tell me."
Then he left.
The people from Luoyang County Yamen were stunned. Looking at his back, they whispered to the county magistrate: "There are many seventh-rank officials from this powerful family, and this one is the first to be arrogant!"
The Luoyang County Magistrate smiled dissatisfiedly: "It's okay if he leaves. Otherwise, we wouldn't dare to try our best if we checked it."
As he was talking, a servant came to the county lieutenant with a strange face, and lay down in his ear and muttered.
