Daming King of Punishment

Page 464

At this moment, Master Niu came to the front of the fire scene crying.

The scorched blackness in front of his eyes could only make him cry aloud.

Regardless of everyone's obstruction, Mr. Niu insisted on going into the yard with water dripping.Song Wuya followed immediately, and he didn't know what danger would happen if he went in at this time.

"Master Niu, it's useless to cry at this time. Anyway, this fire, I'm afraid nothing will be left for you." It wasn't that Song Wuya was making sarcastic remarks at this time, he was just telling the truth.

When Master Niu saw Song Wuya, he knelt down in pain: "Master Song, you have to decide for me! Someone must have deliberately set the fire on purpose, otherwise such a situation would never have happened! I have done a good job of preventing fires in this warehouse. It's very tight, there's no way a fire of this size could happen."

"Master Niu, I can't make the decision for you! The fire was indeed set on purpose by someone using kerosene." Song Wuya didn't want to hide anything from the old man, so he told him about Bai Zhuo's discovery. .After all, they were sitting on the same boat now, and Song Wuya had to participate in everything.

"Wuliangjiao, it must be the gang of bastards from Wuliangjiao!" Hearing Song Wuya's words, Master Niu knew this in his heart, and cried angrily.

But it was too late to say anything now. Fortunately, the fire did not spread to other surrounding yards.

Song Wuya looked at the old Mr. Niu in front of him, crying like this. Even though he knew that Mr. Niu was not a good person, he still couldn't bear it.He helped Master Niu up, and immediately comforted him: "Master Niu, your family has a great career, and this loss is nothing. It's better to be open, and you can earn it back slowly in the future."

If it was just ordinary goods, Mr. Niu probably wouldn't cry like this.Now that it looks like this, Song Wuya guesses that most of the storage in this warehouse is private salt.

The fire had already been extinguished, and Song Wuya was tired enough for the night.He is not in the mood to be sad with this old master Niu here.

"Master Niu, I commanded everyone to put out the fire. I have worked hard all night. Now that I am exhausted, I will take my leave and go back to rest." Song Wuya didn't pay any attention to Master Niu, and was about to leave after saying this.

Bai Zhuo, who was behind him, followed closely and said, "Without the help of the villagers and elders around here, this fire would not have been extinguished. I think you need to thank them well, Mr. Niu."

Bai Zhuo kind of reminded Master Niu that although the fire destroyed his warehouse, at least it didn't cause him any more trouble.If the other houses next to him were burned down and a few more people died, although no one could do anything to him, his notoriety would be borne in the future.

Master Niu nodded immediately, and after saluting Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo, he immediately bowed to thank the people around him.

"Brother Wu Ya, tonight, I feel like I'm getting familiar." Bai Zhuo patted the dust off his body, resisting the burning smell all over his body, and said with a frown.

Next to the fire scene, the temperature was frighteningly high, and the heat waves came over and over again, which already made Song Wuya's mouth dry.If he hadn't splashed some water on his skin halfway, he would probably burn himself.

Dragging their tired bodies, the two returned to the inn.Unexpectedly, there was no board in the inn, and the waiter was dozing off on the table.

"Sir, you are back."

The sound of the two entering woke the waiter in the shop. After seeing Song Wuya, he immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Second brother, why didn't you go to the board? Could it be that he was waiting for the two of us to come back?" Bai Zhuo couldn't help teasing when he saw the waiter in the shop with a tired face and eyelids fighting.

The waiter in the inn smiled slightly: "To be honest, my lord, it's not because I waited for the two adults to stop boarding. It's just that many guests in this inn went to watch the fire, and people came back one after another. The little ones thought it was too troublesome, so they picked it up." Once you get off the board, stay here."

"It's really hard work for you. It seems that you can't sleep well today." Song Wuya shook his head, walked over and patted the waiter on the shoulder, and walked upstairs.

Seeing them going upstairs, the waiter hurriedly said: "The two ladies are not asleep either, they are waiting for the two adults in the room!"

"Oh? That's it!" Song Wuya let out a light sigh, and immediately walked up to the second floor.

Sure enough, when they opened the door, Situ Wen and Xiaohuan were anxiously pacing back and forth in the room.

"Wu Ya, you are finally back." Situ Wen was overjoyed to see Song Wu Ya come back. "Xiaohuan and I were worried about the danger that would happen to the two of you. Many people came back before, but we didn't see you two. We thought..."

"Why do you think? Do you think we were burned to death by the fire?" Song Wuya smiled slightly: "Okay, there is nothing to worry about. After all, we are officials. When encountering such a thing, of course we have to order everyone to put out the fire .”

"That's right! If it weren't for that Yu Chun is really unreliable, and brother Wu Ya and I don't need to work hard at all!" Bai Zhuo probably expected that Situ Wen would say that there was Yu Chun, and following Song Wuya's words, he took this The matter was rushed to explain.

Chapter 495 Investigating the fire scene

With Bai Zhuo's help, Situ Wen's worries were calmed with great difficulty, and the two who were already exhausted were finally able to fall asleep.

This sleep lasted until the afternoon, and Song Wuya woke up from his sleep.

Bai Zhuoke was much stronger than him, and he was still sleeping soundly there.

The first thing he did when he woke up, Song Wuya immediately looked at the sky outside, and realized that it was getting late, so he immediately ran to Bai Zhuo's bed.

"Brother Bai, get up quickly! Hurry up!"

Song Wuya shouted loudly, shaking Bai Zhuo's body back and forth, waking him up in the blink of an eye.

It can be seen that the current Bai Zhuo still has more to say, he opened his eyes and looked at Song Wuya, and immediately fell asleep again as soon as he closed his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Song Wuya couldn't help but feel a little helpless, he could only shake Bai Zhuo awake again: "Brother Bai, what time is this, you still want to sleep, hurry up and follow me to the fire scene to see the situation."

It has been several hours since I came back from putting out the fire. If I don't look at it, it will be dark soon, and I can only wait until tomorrow to investigate.

When Bai Zhuo heard about investigating the scene of the fire, although he was a little reluctant, he cooperated very well.

Song Wuya fetched water, washed up, waited for Bai Zhuo to clean himself up, and immediately headed towards the scene of the fire.

There were no walls to stop the fire, this was the decision Song Wuya made yesterday.Now more than a dozen officials are surrounding here, and there are still officials cleaning up the ruins inside the fire scene.

However, the county magistrate Yu Chun was not seen among the crowd.

"Where's your county magistrate?" Song Wuya didn't find Yu Chun, but found an official, and asked directly.

The officer looked at Song Wuya and raised his brows: "Who are you? We are the county magistrate who you can find if you say so?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his companion also looked over, and when he looked at Song Wuya, his expression changed immediately, and he hurried over.

As soon as the official ran over, he quietly poked the official who had just spoken, frowned and said in a low voice: "This is the imperial envoy, don't talk nonsense!"

After blaming the officer, the officer who just arrived immediately said to Song Wuya respectfully with a smile on his face: "Master Imperial Envoy, the county magistrate is exhausted from putting out the fire last night, so he went back to rest. You Do you have any instructions? Just tell me the little ones."

"Oh, that's right!" Song Wuya nodded after hearing this, and then realized that Yu Chun also put out the fire with them yesterday.He immediately waved his hand and said: "Forget it, it doesn't matter if he's not here, take me to the fire site to have a look."

The official did not dare to hesitate at all, immediately nodded and led Song Wuya into the fire scene.

There is still smog here, and the thick smoke is mixed with a pungent smell.The ground is full of cross-flow sewage, and no one cleans it up.

Looking at the ground here, Song Wuya frowned immediately: "Order, first clean up the sewage on the ground. Remember, this sewage should be kept in a bucket. I have other uses."

Hearing this, the officer immediately nodded yes, turned around and ran towards the side, and loudly told the officer who was cleaning up the scene what Song Wuya had just explained to him.

The number of official posts in this small county is too small, and there is no way for a few of them to clear out such a large fire scene as soon as possible.

Song Wuya wanted to investigate what was going on in the fire scene as soon as possible, and whether he could find evidence that Wuliangjiao set the fire.

When the officer just came back, he immediately ordered him again: "Go to the Niu Mansion immediately, just say it's the official's intention, and let them send all the servants over to help the official clear the fire."

"This..." This time, the official hesitated.Obviously, he is very clear about the status of the Niu family here, and he himself is a little afraid to bear such an order from Song Wuya. "Master Imperial Envoy, this clearing of the fire should belong to our government..."

As the official said, he clearly didn't want to inform the Niu Mansion, and he didn't dare to provoke him.But Song Wuya was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, and said coldly: "If you are told to go, you can go. Do you think Master Niu will give me face as an imperial envoy?"

Hearing Song Wuya's words, the officer hesitated for a moment, but turned his head and left.
