Chapter 508: It's Very Feudal Twenty-Three
"Pass on the officer's order, quickly put out the fire! Don't hurt anyone......"
On the other side of the camp in the north of the state, Lu Benzhi knew that his father Lu Jia asked and knew that something was wrong, and the fire was forcibly demolished! This is no small matter!
The streets of Kaifeng Mansion are narrow, the houses are dense, and the commercial activities are all night long, and the worship of the Buddha is endless, so the fires occur very frequently. In order to prevent fire and extinguish fires, there are fire towers everywhere in Kaifeng Mansion to prevent and check fires, and there are also hidden fire armies specially used to extinguish fires, equipped with long ladders, pumps and other fire extinguishing tools. In the event of a major fire, the forbidden army will also be mobilized to participate in extinguishing the fire.
While strengthening fire prevention and fire extinguishing, the punishment for arson is also extremely severe. If that official set up an altar to worship at home, and was discovered by Wanghuo Tower without reporting to Kaifeng Mansion in time, he could be impeached by the imperial history, let alone directly set fire to the people's houses...... Even if the fire in the military camp in Zhoubei is extinguished in time today, Lu Jiawen will inevitably eat a bunch of bullet stamps, and at least he will have to deduct a few more officials to get out.
If this fire burns out, I am afraid that people will be impeached until the words have never been used since the seizure of the birth!
But Lu Jia's order to ask for firefighting was useless! Because the soldiers under his command began to disperse at this time.
These temporary workers are not stupid, they have all the money, and they have caused a fire again, so what are you waiting for if you don't run away? Really stay to fight the fire, and when the fire is extinguished, you have to find someone to take the bar! The father and son of the Lu family are both civil officials, and no matter how big the trouble is, it is to chase down the writing since their birth, compile and manage Haizhou, and never use it. Not to mention beheading, even if you go to jail, it's impossible! And the heads of these "temporary van soldiers" can be cut off at will, and when the time comes, they will be charged with arson and wounding, even if they don't kill their heads, they will have to be sent to Salmon Island...... But when I went to Salmon Island, I almost lost my life.
So after a little thought, these nimble Bianliangzi knew that they had to go with thirty-six strategies!
Of course, not every box soldier has run away, and there are some genuine box soldiers who can't run, and their commanders and heads can remember them! Now that I ran away, the black pot that turned around and set the fire didn't run away.
However, these box soldiers who did not run away did not go to fight the fire, but retreated from the state north military camp - when the box soldiers commanded by Lu Benzhi rushed into the barracks from the back door, the "defense" in front of the barracks also collapsed at the same time, so the box soldiers who "attacked" from the main gate were once successful and attacked the Beizhou military camp. It's just that before they could control the situation, several dilapidated houses in the North Military Camp didn't know who set them on fire. Moreover, the fire was still very fierce, and several dilapidated houses were instantly on fire, as if they had prepared something to start the fire in advance......
Seeing the fire ignited, the box soldiers who attacked the military camp in the north of the state, whether they were "long-term workers" or "temporary workers", their first reaction was, of course, to run away. If you don't run away quickly, if you are caught by Diao Min in the military camp in the north of the state, you won't be able to wash it even if you jump into the Yellow River.
The "temporary workers" ran away and disappeared, and the "long-term workers" also had a way, they all went to protect Lu Jia, the secretary of Taifu Temple, and asked!
Now there are unknown thieves who set fires, which is likely to endanger the personal safety of Lu Daguan! Of course, they, the soldiers of Taifu Temple, were going to protect the officials of Lu Daguan - when someone was sent to inquire afterwards, they would have an excuse.
They are all protecting Bachelor Lu, so the arson has nothing to do with them, it is all done by "temporary workers......
Lu Jia, who was "protected" by a group of soldiers, was dumbfounded, and asked you to go to put out the fire, why did you come to the officer's side? Could it be that this official is "fire"?
"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire, the official will be rewarded......"
Lu Jia asked and yelled hoarsely, but the two hundred or so soldiers roared louder than him, and they were all shouting: "Protect Master Lu!" Don't let the thieves who set the fire hurt Master Lu! ”
In the past few years, everyone who has been a box soldier in Kaifeng Mansion is about to become fine, how could he not know that Lu Jia asked this time was unlucky. It is impossible to cash in on the "heavy reward" or something...... Now the most important thing is to stay away from the black cauldron!
"Hurry up and put out the fire! Hurry up and put out the fire...... I am an official, I am an official from the court of the nine grades, you can't tie me up! ”
On the other side of the barracks, Lu Benzhi had already left a single person, and his soldiers all ran away after setting fire, so he left one of them there to top the bar. And his reaction was also slow, everyone was going to arrest him and go to Kaifeng Mansion, he didn't know how to run quickly, and he was still stupidly beckoning people there to help put out the fire. As a result, he was seized by several big men with blue tattoos on their bare arms, and took out ropes (which had been prepared for a long time) to tie him up.
"This official is General Shilang Lu Benzhi! You can't bind me! ”
Lu Benzhi, who was tied up, was also anxious, although Kaifeng Mansion basically didn't ask officials about crimes now (at the beginning of the country, officials could be tried for minor crimes), but once he was kidnapped and sent to Kaifeng Mansion, this is ironclad evidence! So many onlookers are witnesses, and the Kaifeng Mansion will immediately put them into custody (there is a special place in the Kaifeng Mansion to "keep" witnesses) for the officials of the Yushitai to collect evidence. When the time comes, there will still be a crime of arson and wounding? He is just a general from the ninth grade, and he is not qualified to be lightly dismissed, although he will not be killed, but he will not run away from exile on Salmon Island......
But now that he is tied up, and there are still a few unobstructed flower arms to hold around, how can he break free?
Seeing that the fire in the military camp in front of him was getting stronger and stronger, and he was tied up again, Lu Benzhi even had the heart to seek death.
I've only been an official for a few days, and I'm about to go to Salmon Island, what's the point of living?
At the thought of dying on Salmon Island, Lu Benzhi couldn't control his emotions anymore, and he burst into tears.
When he was crying, a rather loud voice suddenly came: "This official is the head of the palace and the head of the military case!" You and the others are all under the command of their own officials and do their best to put out the fire! ”
"Whoa!" Someone said yes loudly.
It turned out that someone had come to put out the fire!
Lu Benzhi looked over with teary eyes, and saw an old man with gray hair, wearing a loose white short coat and black pants, and two stubby arms, carrying two strange-looking large wooden barrels with pointed bottoms (which are tools for training arm strength and endurance in the Imperial Boxing Gym), and galloped over. As he ran, water poured out of the barrel - what strength this old man had!
Looking at the old man's back, there was a large group of strong men who were also carrying a large wooden barrel...... Uh, there seems to be a strong chick too!
It turned out that Zhou Tong and his newly recruited apprentices, who were the forbidden soldiers who were preparing to participate in the imperial competition, had to carry two buckets of water to run at this time every day, and they came to fight the fire along the way.
This fire ...... You can't leave it alone!
Seeing that someone came to put out the fire, Lu Benzhi breathed a sigh of relief. The smaller the fire, the lesser the sin of oneself. Maybe you don't have to go to Salmon Island, you can ask for an excuse...... Fortunately, I have already made a little fish, and it is not a big problem to go to Haizhou to live.
When Zhou Tong led people to put out the fire, the submarine fire army of Kaifeng Mansion also came one after another, carrying long ladders, wooden barrels, pumps, and people using axes and hammers to clean up the debris around the fire. After a lot of chaos, the fire was really controlled within the state north military camp.
After a while, another large group of men came. This time it was the Hanlin Scholar who sent the king of Kaifeng Mansion. Wang Mo is a 66-year-old old man, who replaced Wen Yi (Wen Yi went to worship the vice minister) in April to become the power to send Kaifeng to the government. Although he had long known that his parents in Kaifeng Mansion were not good officials, he did not expect that less than a month after taking office, he encountered a fire in the military camp in the north of the state.
After getting the report from his subordinates, Wang Mo didn't care about studying literature with Yan Xixi (Yan Po'er's daughter) last night until midnight, and the whole person rode a rabbit horse in a daze, and went straight to the Zhoubei military camp with a group of staff officials - he is the parent official of Kaifeng Mansion, and he must be there to direct the firefighting!
When he arrived at the gate of the military camp in the north of the state, he saw that a senior official wearing a scarlet official robe had arrived before him, and he had brought a large group of soldiers.
Who is this? How did you come faster than yourself? Or a civil official in a scarlet official robe, could it be that he came directly from the Chongzheng Palace!?
Wang Mo didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly drove forward, and when he got closer, he found that it was Lu Jiaqing, the secretary of Taifu Temple.
Taifu Siqing is still in charge of fighting fires? Is this to take credit or what?
Although he was unhappy, Wang Mo still stepped forward and greeted: "It turned out to be Wangzhi, did you also bring someone to fight the fire?" ”
Fire?
Lu Jia asked and smiled bitterly, whether he came to set the fire or put out the fire, it was really unclear.
Seeing that Lu Jia asked if he didn't speak, Wang Mo was also a little unsure, what does this mean? I have the right to send Kaifeng Mansion to Kaifeng Mansion, and the official is not much younger than your Taifu Siqing, why do you have this attitude?
Just when he was a little annoyed, the surrounding onlookers suddenly became disturbed, and then they saw that the crowd was separated, and a group of ordinary people and hidden fire soldiers were tied up in a quilt, embarrassed, and the green-robed civil official with his hat and nowhere to go.
What's going on? How did you catch an official? Wang Mo was confused.
And Lu Jiawen, who was surrounded by a group of van soldiers, was like ashes, of course he knew what was going on......
The commander of the leading submarine fire army hurriedly saluted when he saw Wang Mao, and then stammered and reported, "Tell the Lordship...... This, this person who claimed to be the son of Master Lu of Taifu Temple, was caught by a group of firefighting people, and said that it was ...... He led people to set fires! ”
Yes!?
Wang Mo was almost stupid when he heard this, looked at Lu Benzhi, who was pale and trembling, and then looked at Lu Jia, whose face was like ashes, and thought: Lu Wangzhi is here to set fire to you? But why? By the way, this is the military camp in the north of the state, and Lu Jiawen seems to have been ordered to demolish the house here.
If you can't demolish the house, you will set it on fire? You're dizzy, aren't you?
I am the king of all the people! You have to decide for the people!
