Chapter 212 Unusual
He Yanxiu was very fast, pouring buckets of water on the fire. The fire was much weaker than before and no longer had any signs of growth.
Fangyu rushed over upon hearing the news of the fire and quickly joined the fire-fighting operation.
As a fire patrol officer in the county, he urged the people to turn off the lights in time and be careful of fire. He had professional water bags, water dragons and water guns. In addition, the fire fighters had received special training and were very skilled in extinguishing fires, so he quickly brought the fire under control.
Here, Su Yujin was treating people who were injured by wooden frames and burned or scalded by fire.
If there are obvious wounds among the injured, they will be disinfected first, and then anti-inflammatory and analgesic ointment will be applied. If there are bone or ligament injuries, emergency treatment will be carried out, and if there are burns, temporary cooling will be carried out...
Su Yujin was busy, and Ai Cao was helping her on the side. Seeing this, people around them spontaneously offered to help.
They would either hold lanterns to light the way for Su Yujin so that she could treat her wounds and apply medicine, or they would find benches and cushions so that Su Yujin and the injured could sit down and rest for a while.
This place is not far from the Zhou family's herbal medicine shop. The shop's head shopkeeper heard the noise and sent someone to check it out. When he learned about the situation here and that He Yanxiu and Su Yujin were helping, he hurriedly brought over a lot of ointments and potions for treating injuries and burns...
When everyone works together, they can accomplish anything.
After nearly half an hour of hard work, the fire was finally put out. Su Yujin also gave preliminary treatment to all the injured and handed them over to the doctors at a nearby clinic.
"Thank you so much, Mr. He, and Miss Su." The brothers Feng Yuandong and Feng Yuanhao arrived halfway. Because of putting out the fire, their faces were blackened by the smoke, and there were traces of burns on their clothes. However, they did not care about these and just thanked He Yanxiu and Su Yujin repeatedly.
"This time, it is all thanks to Second Master He. Otherwise, I really can't imagine what would have happened." The head shopkeeper of Feng's shop kept bowing, "Second Master He's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten."
"It's just a small favor, no need to thank me too much." He Yanxiu was extremely tired at this time. He sat on the bench brought by a kind person, his face pale and breathing heavily.
"It is my incompetence that frightened Lord He." Ye Yongwang's face was full of shame.
"The incident happened suddenly and no one could have predicted it. This is not Lord Ye's fault." He Yanxiu said.
I had heard before that Su Yujin had a relative who was an official in the capital. Now County Magistrate Ye called him Mr. He, so I guess this Mr. He was the high-ranking official in the capital.
The Yuan brothers were both commoners. They knelt on the ground hurriedly and said, "Greetings, Lord He. This accident was caused by the collapse of the wooden frame built by my Feng family. If there is any fault, it is my Feng family's fault for not ensuring safety. Lord He, please punish us."
As they were talking, the two brothers were already sweating profusely, soaking their clothes again, and their bodies were shaking with fear.
But even though I was afraid, I never backed down.
The Feng family must bear the responsibility for this accident!
"I can't say I'm being punished." He Yanxiu calmed down a little, frowning, "This accident is not caused by your Feng family."
"Master He means..." Ye Yongwang bowed even more.
"There are two wooden frames facing each other. I once tied a rope to one of them for support. I found it was very strong and stable. Not only was the bottom fixed, but the two sides were also tied with thick hemp ropes to maintain balance. It can be seen that it was made very properly, but this wooden frame fell down."
And it's not tottering, but it collapses in an instant.
This is a little unusual.
After listening to what He Yanxiu said, Ye Yongwang carefully checked the wooden frame that was not completely burned. After a moment, he exclaimed, "The cracks on the tenons that fixed the wooden frame are very flat, and the hemp ropes that fixed the wooden frame all have traces of being cut. It can be seen that someone did it intentionally!"
"It will take quite a while to destroy these tenons and hemp ropes. Have you seen any suspicious people staying here for a long time and behaving strangely today?"
Hearing Ye Yongwang's question, the shop assistants of Feng's shop all tried to recall. After a while, one of them spoke up, "I remember that kid Jin Kai was hanging around here today."
"If you want to put it that way, I also remember that Jin Kai squatted there for a long time. When I asked him what he was doing, he just said that there were many girls on the street today, so he squatted there to take a good look at the feet of the girls and wives to see which one was prettier."
"Jin Kai is usually an idle and lecherous person. He is also good at talking nonsense and sometimes even acts like a scoundrel. I saw that he didn't do anything, so I didn't provoke him too much, so as not to cause trouble for the shop."
"Yeah, I thought so too, so I ignored him..."
Such people are also most likely to do evil things.
Ye Yongwang frowned and ordered the yamen runner beside him, "Go and find this man called Jin Kai and interrogate him."
Several yamen runners said "yes" and went to inquire about Jin Kai's residence.
"Why bother looking for a place to stay? This guy named Jin Kai is probably among the people around here," He Yanxiu reminded.
Su Yujin also nodded, "That's right."
Criminal suspects usually return to the scene of the crime after committing it.
Firstly, it is because after doing something bad, they feel a little scared and want to go back to the scene to check if they have missed anything or left any evidence. Secondly, it is because they feel complacent and want to come back to admire their achievements.
There is a high probability that Jin Kai is among the crowd of onlookers right now.
After hearing what He Yanxiu and Su Yujin said, the people around them looked at each other and talked a lot.
"Is this true? Do you still dare to stay here?"
"They said it so confidently, maybe it's true?"
"Stop guessing and take a quick look to see who Jin Kai is and where he is..."
Everyone began to look around and search, which made Jin Kai, who was mixed in the crowd, secretly cry out inwardly that something was wrong and wanted to slip away quickly. However, before he could take any action, he was recognized.
"Here it is!"
"Come on, I caught him!"
"This bastard is quite powerful..."
No matter why or for what purpose, Jin Kai knocked over the wooden frame, hit so many people, and caused a fire. If the fire had not been put out in time, this street might have been reduced to ashes. This Jin Kai is an unforgivable bastard! The anger in the hearts of the people turned into strength in their hands, and they clamped Jin Kai firmly and handed him over to the yamen runners who came after hearing the news.
The bailiffs tied Jin Kai up and brought him before He Yanxiu and Ye Yongwang.
"Kneel down! Tell the truth!" The runners pushed Jin Kai down and kicked him.
Jin Kai felt pain, but he dared not show it in front of the county magistrate and another senior official. He just kowtowed and said, "I am innocent, I am innocent!"
"Then tell me what you were doing at that time!" Ye Yongwang asked.
"Xiaomin, Xiaomin..." Jin Kai gritted his teeth tremblingly, "Xiaomin was instructed by someone!"
Fangyu, an ancient fire brigade, was first established in the Song Dynasty. It is responsible for patrolling the streets every day, urging the military and civilians to turn off lights and use fire safely, and extinguishing fires when accidents occur.
