Nongmen Xiaofu's Reborn Wife
Chapter 480 Escape of Death
"Quick, fast transport water to put out the fire, and don't let anyone inside die!" Tim Zhu shouted at the yamen servant he was leading, sweating coldly in fear.
Of the three shift leaders in the county administration, he was the only one with the least strength and background. This time it was difficult to deal with the matter of keeping family members from repeat offenders, as long as he waited for someone from the capital to hand them over, he would be able to make a contribution. But now the Zou family is suddenly on fire, his credit is gone, and he may still suffer.
“Yes yes!” The yamen maids also panicked and rushed to fetch water from the well of Zou's house, but there were only thirty people in one group of yamen maids, and it is impossible to transport water to put out the fire in three courtyards.
Zhu Bantou shouted: "Go, call the servants of the Zou family to put out the fire."
However, the yamen maid hurriedly said, sweating, "Boss, except for the three yards where Zou Yuzhen and the other Zou family masters live, the large Zou Family Kitchen, the study room in the front yard, the, and the upside-down room where the servants lived was all burned up. The fire was huge, and the servants of the Zou family extinguished the flames in these places."
Zhu Bantou heard that he wanted to die, and all this What is it?
He hurriedly pointed to a yamen servant and said, "Go back to the yamen county and find someone to put out the fire. We can't let Zou Yuzhen and the others die in the fire.
" command and immediately ran out of Zou's house.
But when I went out to look, I found that there was a house in some alley and a shop on the street in the town of the district that was on fire, and Bantou Yang and the others were leading people to put out the fire.
The yamen maid was so frightened that she slipped and fell to the ground, then hurriedly got up and ran to the yamen county. Before arriving at the county government office, he passed the Jiang Xianwei and Xu County magistrates who rushed off with the county army.
Captain Jiang County and the others had seen the flames on Zou's side, so they immediately rushed over. Upon seeing the maid, the Jiang County Captain grabbed her and asked, "What happened to Zou's house? Which pages are burning?" The servant trembled and said
: "The upside-down house where the master and servant of the Zou family are living is on fire."
"The page where Madam Zou and Zou Yuzhen stayed was on fire!" Judge Xu County turned pale in fear, "I'm really afraid of something. Seeing that this matter was about to end, why would such a disaster happen again? The Zou family is so unlucky don't let me worry about it."
District Judge Xu even cursed that foul language.
The Jiang Wei County Lord Lao La, when he heard that the courtyard of the lord of the Zou family was burning, he immediately thought of something and hurriedly said: "My master, my lord, there's something strange about this fire. It is likely that the Zou family deliberately burned him to escape to death. Please, Milord. " Immediately ordered the city gates to be sealed shut, and no one could open the gates no matter what handwriting they left in the city. In the next few days, no one was allowed in and out in the county seat, and the county had to be searched before deciding whether to open the city gate, or if it was to actually escape, he said, we can't stand the responsibility!"
Judge Xu shuddered when he heard the words: "Master Jiang is right, Lao Tian, \u200b\u200bas fast and bring my official handwriting to the city gate to watch, and no one is allowed to be released from the city Out of town and immediately arrest the district government.”
“Ya.” Tian Shiye immediately led the five guards to the city gate, and asked the county soldiers guarding the city not to open the gate.
County Judge Xu and County Captain Jiang rushed to the Zou House, and County Judge Xu asked, "Did someone go to the fire in the shops on the street and houses in the alley? You can't burn people to death, otherwise this problem will happen again." It's gonna be a big blow."
Jiang Wei County said: "Bantou Yang, Bantou Jiang, and Luo Wu have brought in other government officials to put out the fire, and the county rule is that once a house burned down, the, the whole alley and road will be destroyed. Everyone has to go out to put out the fire, there are enough people, sir, rest assured. " When they
speaking, they had already rushed over to Zou's house, and before they reached the courtyard where Ms.-in-law's mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, granddaughter. Zou stayed, they heard a shout: "A-ah-ah!
"
The feet of Judge Xu County were weak, and with the support of Captain Jiang County, he rushed to Ny's residence courtyard. Zou. Seeing the flames soaring into the sky, his body trembled even more. After he stabilized his mind, he pointed at Bantou Zhu and cursed: "You How do you look after the Zou family? The fire is so big, are you asleep? Surname Zhu, you are neglecting duty!"
Zhu Bantou hurriedly knelt down and complained: "My master, my lord has been guarding Zou's house with people the entire time, and he doesn't nap, much less eat and gamble. We found out when Zou's house lit a fire, but when we rushed in At that moment, the fire in the courtyard was already too big to save people."
With the addition of pine oil, the fire lit up so quickly, making Zhu Bantou and the others impossible to save people.
After listening to county magistrate Xu, he smelled a smell around him, and there was indeed the smell of pine oil. Finally, his anger towards Zhu Bantou eased slightly. Seeing him still kneeling on the ground, he shouted: "Quick turn off the fire, what are you kneeling for?" !"
Zhu Bantou immediately went to bring water to put out the fire.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Buckets of well water were poured into the burning house, but the house was doused with pine oil, and it took a long time for government employees and district soldiers to put out the fire.
By the time the fire was completely extinguished, Mrs. Zou and Zou Chengji had burned into black coals.
Zou Yukun's daughter-in-law was still breathing, but her flesh and blood were so burnt that she could no longer see him, she died after a while, and her eyes were still open when she died.
Zou Yuwan was luckier than them, there was a large wooden tub to bathe in his home bathroom, the bath water inside had not been poured, and he hid in the tub when it caught fire. But even so, it is smoked so that more air and less air intake, and is not expected to work.
Seeing the miserable state of the Zou family, County Judge Xu vomited several times, fainted once, and was revived by Doctor Zhou.
Immediately upon waking up, he asked Jiang Xianwei: "How is Zou Yuzhen doing?" With
pouting face, Jiang Xianwei pointed to the charred corpse in the courtyard and said, "This corpse has a jade wrench with the name Zou Yuzhen on it. "
Zou Xiancheng wanted to learn from the aristocratic family of Fucheng, so he ordered a jade wrench finger with his name written on it for each of his children and grandchildren, so he ordered a jade wrench finger with his name written on it for each of them, and used it as a memento for the men from the Zou family.
But……
"The lower officials believe that this corpse does not belong to Zou Yuzhen, she should have escaped death." Jiang Xianwei said: "The fire appeared out of nowhere, it must have been made by the Zou family themselves, and looked to the remaining masters of the Zou family , Only Zou Yuzhen could commit this kind of cruelty."
Zou Yuzhen actually fooled them as fools, really think she was so smart? Really think they're stupid enough to believe his cheap tricks?
Zhu Bantou said weakly: "Lord County Captain, when the courtyard where Zou Yuzhen was staying was on fire, the yamen maids who extinguished the flames heard cries the entire time ..." The eyes of Captain Jiang County sank, and he cut them off: "
The Tragic Shouting was not from Zou Yuzhen, but from this charred corpse."
The captain of Jiang county was very disappointed with Bantou Zhu, and it was nothing more than burning down Zou's house because of the unfavorable guards, but he was very naive. , thinking that the man who could not see his face clearly this Jiao Corpse was Zou Yuzhen.
Did Bantou Zhu want to stop this matter and stop chasing after Zou Yuzhen?
If he really had such an idea, he would deliberately cover it up so that Zou Yuzhen managed to escape!
