Chapter 533: The Fire
In the Fuzhou city of Qingzhou, Shandong, a few scoundrels wandered aimlessly on the streets, after last year's rebellion, and now that the weather is starting to get colder, there are naturally fewer and fewer people on the streets.
There are fewer people, and there are also fewer places to squeeze oil and water. But they have the usual example of Li Bantou, and their group of people dare not give it. If you annoy that Li Bantou, find a random excuse, lock them up in the dark class room, and serve them with a meal of water and fire sticks, how many of them can survive these cheap lives.
In the splashing team, a novice who was obviously a new recruit, said flatteringly to the leader who had already been at the front, "Brother, not far ahead is the back door of the Li family's bookstore." I heard that the Li family bookstore has bought a lot of goods recently, and it seems that they are making a big deal. If you can't get oil and water on this street, it's better to go to the Li Family Bookstore! It's just a bookstore, but it's more or less ······."
He was talking proudly, but he didn't see his eldest brother Tie Qing's face, and he wanted to continue to speak, when he heard a "pop", a big-eared melon seed slapped the face of the person who spoke.
"Blind your dog's eye! Do you dare to fight the idea of the Li family's bookstore? Do you know that the owner of the bookstore is the famous Li family in the city. There are people in the family who are officials in the capital.
Hey, don't say that the backer of the family is a Beijing official, just talk about Li Bantou in the yamen, people are like pinching bedbugs, but do you know that Li Bantou was only able to gain a firm foothold in the yamen because he climbed into the distant relatives of the Li family.
He has been the head of the team for 7 years, and the three successive governors have not replaced Li Bantou. He's just an errand runner for the Li family, what the hell do you have to dare to provoke the Li family? ”
As he spoke, the leader stretched out his right hand, raised a thumbs up, and continued, "Tell you, in this Qingzhou City, the Li family is this." Even if he is the governor of Qingzhou, when he arrives in Qingzhou, he has to visit the old lady of the Li family.
You all give me a clever point, we still have to eat in Qingzhou City, and we must not offend the Li family. Who understands the Li family, that is, they have lived too long, you know? ”
The ploppy leader finished his talk, thinking that he had gained insight into this group of little brothers who had little knowledge, so he stood there proudly, waiting for some compliments to come, so as to enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon in this cold weather.
However, what puzzled him was that his younger brothers were indifferent and stood there dumbfounded. Just as he was getting a little angry, a cacophony came from behind him.
In the midst of a rapid sound of gongs, someone in the street shouted something loudly, as if "Walk the water!" ”
The leader of the splash immediately turned and followed the dull gaze of the younger brothers, and saw that not far from them, there was a fire burning there.
Seeing that the fire was not far from here, the leader of the splash was also shocked, although the fire was a lot away from his house, but he did not dare to be careless, in this era, because the houses were all wooden structures, so once the fire started, it was easy to spread.
In case the surrounding people do not put out the fire in time, or if there is an unexpected gale, it is easy to burn down an entire street.
However, for the splashers, if they can take advantage of everyone's time to fight the fire and do a few votes, then they can also do without it, after all, they are used to having wine and getting drunk today, and there is basically nothing to burn at home.
The ringleader is ready, if the fire spreads, then take the opportunity to make a big profit, if the fire is too fast, then flee far away, it is important to save his life.
Just when he was thinking about where to start to do a vote, many people on the street began to run around in a panic, and in the extremely noisy environment, the leader of the splash faintly heard someone shouting, "It's the Li family's bookstore that is on fire, and it has burned half of the street over there······
On the other side, a member of the action team wearing a fur hat said to his captain with some trepidation, "Uh, captain, this movement is really a bit too big, it seems to be burning too much!" ”
They are now hiding behind a crowd of onlookers watching the fire in the distance, which is Dongcheng Street, and the place where the fire started is the boundary of Xicheng.
Under the blazing fire in the West City, the people on the East side couldn't help but be a little worried, whether the fire would spread to this side, and many people on the East City side began to prepare to fight the fire.
On the Xicheng side, it was even more chaotic, with a large number of people constantly pouring water on the fire site, and more people slapping the fire with various tools. However, many more screamed and fled their homes, causing chaos on the streets.
The captain of the squad looked at the place where the fire was burning and frowned slightly.
The western frontier of Shandong suffered a huge military disaster last year, resulting in a large number of disaster victims, and the local intelligence services were urgently mobilized in the past few years to help the victims immigrate to the kingdom.
And the population is declining, and because the large number of disaster victims also needs the help of their group of organizers to manage, so the current intelligence department in Shandong is almost empty.
In the absence of people, their foreign intelligence service teams were transferred over to deal with the matter of armed conflicts.
The captain looked at the burning place in the distance, and said, "We were sent to deal with the fake military ticket imitation case, and we just need to get things done."
Now, since it has been found that it is the ghost of the Li family's bookstore, of course, it is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys.
Moreover, haven't you read the previous investigation report? The Li family took advantage of last year's military disaster and colluded with the officials in the yamen to rob more than a dozen shops around the bookstore. What is burned now is basically all the Li family's storefront, and not many ordinary people are affected. ”
Seeing that there were still some team members who showed unbearable expressions, the action captain smiled, "You guys, you're still too young, do you remember what I arranged for the other three groups of people to go out?" ”
"Captain, you mean, the ······"
The captain smiled proudly, "Hehe, that's the mission, you think the captain I'm a vegetarian?" I arranged for three groups of people to pretend to be from the yamen, and found an excuse to evacuate the people near the Li family's bookstore in advance.
Also, not far from the Li family's bookstore, there are two houses that were bought by the third group and placed explosives, as long as the fire spreads there, the explosives will be activated, and a fire barrier will instantly appear on both sides of the street to stop the fire.
Therefore, as long as there are no dead people in the two yards of the runway, there will be no unnecessary casualties at all. ”
