Chapter 227 A Little Punishment
Perhaps she was too busy at Datong Silver Shop. On the way back, Qin Chuchu couldn't open her eyelids. In addition, the carriage was shaking, and she fell asleep on the table in a short while.
Han Muchen held her in his arms again and wrapped her in a quilt. Looking at the stupid woman sleeping like a dead pig, the man curled up the corners of his lips.
I've grown more capable now. In the past, when I saw this kind of scene, I was either too scared to move or I hid far away.
Unlike today, he dared to stretch out his hand. Although it looked a little funny, it was still a big improvement.
As he was looking, he heard the sound of horse hooves and looked out the window.
"How about it?"
"Master, it was indeed Wan who did it. He has already been taught a lesson!"
Feng Qi came up to the man with a somewhat ugly expression.
When I found out that it was a man named Wan who did it, I was so angry. He was so arrogant in his own territory and really thought that they had no one left.
If the master had not given instructions in advance, he really wanted to kill them all, but he really couldn't swallow this, so he still punished them a little.
But his punishment was almost a devastating blow to Boss Wan.
At this moment, at the market, everyone's eyes were looking towards the warehouse, pointing and talking non-stop, with fear in their eyes.
I don’t know whose warehouse caught fire.
Thick black smoke filled the entire sky above the warehouse, as if the devil was about to devour the place.
"Hurry! Put out the fire!"
Boss Wan called on his men to put out the fire in a panic. Seeing more than a dozen warehouses engulfed in flames, his heart was in his throat.
This is the grain that was just shipped back two days ago, tens of millions of dan, and a lot of it has already been ordered and deposits have been received.
If they were all burned, how could I deliver the goods to the buyer, and I would not be able to explain to the emperor.
This is the last batch of surplus grain in the national treasury, and the military expenses depend on it.
I was so anxious that my voice was hoarse.
Seeing hundreds of people rushing towards the warehouse, Feng Si narrowed his eyes.
I didn't expect that this Wan guy had hidden so many people in secret. No wonder he was so arrogant as to take action in broad daylight.
But this time he hit a wall and dared to touch his master.
He looked up at the dozen or so warehouses emitting black smoke, and estimated that the food was almost burned out. It seemed that he would not be able to sell it in the future.
Seeing that the warehouse was engulfed in flames, Boss Wan stamped his feet anxiously. He looked at the guy who came back and rushed over.
"How is it? Did you rescue the food?"
"Reply, reply sir, the food has been burned!"
The clerk lowered his head and dared not look anymore. The grain in more than a dozen warehouses had been burned to charcoal. He was really afraid that the master would vent his anger on them.
"What did you say?!" Boss Wan was shocked and looked towards the warehouse in disbelief.
He pushed the guy in front of him away and stumbled over.
Before I even got there, I was choked by the pungent smell of burnt food and couldn't open my eyes.
Looking at the ruins in front of him, he sat down on the ground.
It's over! It's all over now! Tens of millions of taels of silver are gone just like that. How can he explain this to the Emperor?
If I had known earlier, I would not have brought all the food here, and the loss would not have been so heavy.
He sat on the ground and stared blankly for a long time before being helped up by the waiter.
"Sir, I think there's something fishy about this fire."
As the guy spoke, he pointed to the warehouse next to him.
"Look, all the other warehouses are fine, but ours is the only one that has a fire. I think someone must have tampered with it."
After hearing what he said, Boss Wan noticed that the warehouses nearby were all intact.
Logically speaking, the places where they store miscellaneous items are more likely to catch fire, but nothing happened at the moment. It is not difficult to see that someone must have tampered with it.
Thinking of this, he looked towards the direction of Datong Bank with a vicious look. It must be them who did it.
I had thought of being on guard before, but I didn't expect them to act so quickly and even set their sights on the warehouse.
Originally, he just wanted to get rid of that woman so that he wouldn't be an eyesore. If he was lucky, maybe he could take Murong Bai with him.
At that time, he could have taken credit in front of the emperor. But now, not only did he not get rid of the person he wanted to get rid of, but he also burned all the food.
Not only can I not explain to the emperor, but I also have no money left for military supplies. I'm afraid that the people will have to pay higher taxes again this year.
On the other side, Qin Chuchu was awakened by the man when she was about to reach home.
"Chu Chu, we're home!"
"Hmm?" Qin Chuchu opened her eyes.
When he saw the enlarged handsome face in front of him, he realized something and quickly leaned back.
"Oh." After saying that, he jumped off the carriage as if escaping.
Damn it! How could I fall asleep in his arms again?
Looking at the stupid woman's helpless look, the man curled the corners of his lips, feeling embarrassed.
I didn't feel embarrassed when he hugged me and called me husband in front of so many people.
As soon as she jumped off the carriage, Qin Chuchu's embarrassment disappeared. She remembered what happened before and ran towards Aunt Liu happily.
"Aunt Liu, where is Little Stone?"
Today I have recognized a big brother, and I have to tell Xiao Shitou that from now on there will be three people in their family.
"Princess, Little Stone is not in the tent!"
"Not in the tent! Where is he then?"
Qin Chuchu looked at Aunt Liu in confusion, and then she remembered that she hadn't seen Xiao Shitou for quite a while.
"He... is practicing martial arts over there!"
Aunt Liu smiled and pointed to the back of the tent. The child was quite determined. Ever since the last fierce battle, he asked to learn martial arts from the old man.
I thought he was just doing it on a whim, but I didn't expect him to never stop practicing. He's really hardworking.
"Practicing martial arts?" Qin Chuchu's eyes lit up.
Following the direction of Aunt Liu's finger, he looked towards the back of the tent and immediately became alert.
"I'll go take a look!" He said and ran away.
No wonder I haven’t seen him these days. It turns out he was secretly practicing martial arts.
I regretted it halfway through the run. If I had known it was so far, I would have ridden a bike.
When she ran to the place with a deflated stomach, she saw a shadow floating past her.
“…………”
Holy crap! Is this guy that powerful?
When she looked closely, she saw that it was actually small stones flying in the sky, which stunned her.
She knew best what this kid's kung fu was like before, but she didn't expect that after such a short time, he could even fly.
She looked at the little stone jumping around on the tents, her eyes filled with envy.
"Little Stone!" She raised her neck and shouted at Little Stone.
Seeing his sister coming, the little stone flew into the air and landed lightly in front of her.
"Sister, why are you here?"
He grinned at Qin Chuchu in front of him, and was extremely happy.
All the study I've done these days has not been in vain. I've made some progress. When I become as powerful as Feng Er and the others, I'll be able to protect my sister.
Qin Chuchu looked up and down at the small stone in front of her. After not seeing it for a few days, it seemed to have become much stronger.
I remembered how he flew around the tent before. I was so envious. It would be so awesome if I could learn martial arts too.
Thinking of this, she looked at Butler Liu with a greedy look on her face.
"Hey, Uncle Liu, why don't you teach me martial arts too!"
