Two tall and strong former pirates, one running in front and the other following behind, protected Yu Xiaoxiao and Gu Xinglang as they squeezed into the crowd.
The three waiters realized something was wrong with the sudden appearance of Yu Xiaoxiao and her gang. There was no reason why a beggar who had nothing to do with Gu Xinglang would specifically reach out and pull Gu Xinglang up from the ground. The three waiters wanted to return to Wuming Building as soon as possible to remind Master Di Ling that there might be something fishy about Gu Xinglang.
Xiao Wei followed the three guys from the middle of the long street all the way to an intersection near the street.
A convoy of cars that were fleeing from several wealthy families happened to pass by this intersection. The crowd, which was originally somewhat scattered, suddenly became crowded due to the convoy that occupied half of the road.
Xiao Wei came up behind the three guys, holding a dagger in his hand, and stabbed them three times without blinking, killing the three guys who were quite skilled in martial arts but were completely unsuspecting of Xiao Wei cleanly and neatly to the ground.
The three guys fell to the ground. It was impossible for the people around them not to see it, but at that moment, people were so crowded that their chests were almost pressed against each other's backs. No one could stop. When they saw the dead people, they were squeezed forward. The people behind them who were unaware of the situation stepped on the corpses. Soon, the bones of the three corpses were crushed and their flesh was crushed, becoming a pool of meat paste.
Master Fenglin stood on the roof, watching the big bosses fighting with the Xiangguan Iron Cavalry for a while, then turned around and said to Xiaozhuang who was standing next to him: "We can't let them fight like this."
Xiaozhuang looked anxious and said, "Master, do you have a way? The cavalry at the village gate only obey the general's orders. Should I go back to find the eldest young master, or should I go back to the mansion to find the second young master?"
Master Fenglin said, "It's too late."
Xiaozhuang hardened his heart and said, "Then I will fake the imperial decree."
Young Master Fenglin is impressed by the group of people following Her Royal Highness the Princess. These people are courting death every day.
Xiao Zhuang said to himself, "But I don't have an imperial edict. Forget it. I'll just say it's the emperor's oral order."
When Master Fenglin saw Xiaozhuang trying to get off the roof, he quickly grabbed Xiaozhuang and said, "Since Gu Xinglang was not caught, why did His Majesty call back the Rural Guards?"
Xiaozhuang said: "The Imperial Palace has been lost"
Master Fenglin said: "Besides cursing your emperor to death, can you think of anything else?"
Xiaozhuang and Master Fenglin got angry and said to Master Fenglin fiercely: "What do you want?"
Master Fenglin said, "Go and set the fire."
"What, what?" Xiaozhuang's face suddenly changed from vicious to embarrassed.
"This family is good," Junior Master Fenglin pointed at the roof where he and Xiaozhuang were standing. "The backyard is separated from the front yard by three courtyards. Even if there was a fire, this family had time to escape through the back door. The fire on the street distracted the officers and soldiers, so Xiong Xiong and the others naturally had a chance to escape."
Xiaozhuang looked at Master Fenglin in silence.
Master Fenglin said: "You won't set fire"
Xiao Zhuang said, "What will happen to the people on this street if the fire happens to passers-by?"
"Who would run to a place where there is a fire?" Master Fenglin said nonchalantly, "The imperial palace is on fire, and you still feel sorry for this house? At worst, you can ask your uncle to pay for it after the fire."
"But this is my father-in-law's house," Xiaozhuang said to Master Fenglin again.
Master Fenglin didn't feel guilty at all. He looked at Xiaozhuang and laughed, saying, "Isn't this better?"
Xiaozhuang, burning down your father-in-law's house is still a good thing
"It's easier to talk to someone you know," Master Fenglin said, "You can explain it to Boss Qian afterwards."
On the street, several former pirates were pinned to the ground by the Xiangguan Iron Cavalry.
Xiaozhuang asked Master Fenglin with a sad face: "Can we change the house?" His father-in-law didn't like him in the first place, and when he found out that it was him who set the house on fire, Boss Qian would fight him to the death.
After Xiao Wei killed the people, he mixed in the crowd and squeezed back.
Young Master Fenglin stood on the roof, raised his hand and threw a stone, hitting Xiao Wei on the head.
Xiaozhuang said, "Can we change to another house where no one is home?"
Master Fenglin said: "Look at this street, which house is empty?"
Xiaozhuang looked at the street. Every house was dark. Unless they called Yu Xiaoxiao back to listen to her heartbeat, they had no way of knowing which house was occupied and which was not.
Xiao Wei jumped onto the roof at this time. Before he could stand firm, he said to Master Fenglin: "Master, it is you who is keeping an eye on my Prince Consort."
Master Fenglin nodded and whispered, "Now that the princess is taking Xinglang out of the city, I don't have to show up."
Xiao Wei turned his head to look at the two groups of people who were still fighting, and said, "We have to find a way to make them stop fighting."
Young Master Fenglin stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Xiaozhuang.
Xiaozhuang gritted his teeth and said, "I understand."
Xiao Wei said: "What do you understand?"
"Set fire," Xiaozhuang muttered.
Xiaowei
Boss Qian was in the storeroom in the backyard, urging his servants to pack up the things quickly. Although his son-in-law was Xiaozhuang and his daughter was a close friend of the princess, Boss Qian still didn't know the truth. There was another rebellion in the city, and Boss Qian's first reaction was to hide at home, but soon there were several fires in Fengjing City. Boss Qian saw that it was not going well, so he had to run out of the city quickly.
The standard procedure for wealthy families to flee was to take what they could take with them and bury what they could not take with them on the spot.
Ever since his treasury was robbed by Yu Xiaoxiao, Boss Qian learned his lesson and dug a cellar in his house in the capital. He also built a small pond above the cellar to conceal his whereabouts. The most valuable things in the house were kept in this cellar. Except for Boss Qian himself and the old housekeeper, even Miss Qian didn't know about the existence of this cellar.
So Xiaozhuang set fire to the house in the front yard, and at Boss Qian's place, the servants packed up everything that could be taken away from the warehouse.
The old housekeeper rushed into the storeroom and shouted: "Master, the front yard is on fire."
The jade ball that Boss Qian was spinning in his hand fell to the ground.
The old housekeeper said: "It must be the rebels who came in."
Rebellion requires money, and this group of rebels is definitely here to rob money. Boss Qian cursed: "What a bunch of bastards!"
The old housekeeper urged Boss Qian to leave: "Master, let's go quickly."
Boss Qian came out of the warehouse, looked at the front yard where thick smoke was billowing, stamped his feet, and ordered the old housekeeper, "Carry what you can carry and go."
Xiaozhuang hid in the shade and looked at his father-in-law.
Boss Qian was escorted by two guards to run to the back door, cursing as he ran: "These traitors must die a horrible death. Don't even think about getting a single penny from me, Qian Taiduo, to rob me. Dream on."
Xiaozhuango╯╰o
As the fire in Qian's mansion started, the streets became even more chaotic, and people were in a frenzy of "I'm dying, I have to run for my life". In this situation, the Xiangguan Iron Cavalry had no choice but to be distracted. The eldest brother took the opportunity to run away with his brothers, because running away was his forte.
